1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT REPORT

ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT
& Nawapara project is a existing project and situated in Bhatgaon Area of SECL,
22 Kms in the NE direction from Bishrampur Railway Station. The nearest
ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Railway station is at Kamalpur gram which is 6 Km.

Detailed exploration has been carried out by MECL from June,1989 to June
1991 covering a total drilling of 19649m and revealing a total of 45.458 Mt
NAWAPARA UNDERGROUND PROJECT (Block) coal reserve and 12.65 Mt is mineable reserve of this only 7.15 Mt is
extractable reserve of Pasang Seam has been considered for extraction in this
report in areas where seam thickness is 1.5 m to 2.5m, average thickness is
(BHATGAON AREA) 1.9 m
1.1 Salient Points Of Revised Project Report
Latori Village, Surajpur District, Chhattisgarh State
The Project Report of Nawapara was initialy sanctioned by the SECL Board on
23.2.95 for a production of 0.18 Mty with 16.17% IRR at 100% level of target
Expansion of Mine: 0.18 – 0.36 MTY (Normative), 0.55 MTY (Peak) production. The Revised Project Report was sanctioned by the SECL Board on
24.08.2009 and mainly planned to extract Pasang seam for producing coal
Project Area: 442.14 Ha. 0.36 Mty.

1.2 Marketability

Existing underground mines of Central India Coalfields (CIC) are shrinking due
to depletion of reserves. There is a shortage of superior grade (B/C) non-coking
coal production from existing mines and demand is increasing. The production
from underground mines is also stagnating. The production from Nawapara
underground mine is planned to reduce the gap between the assessed demand
and availability from different existing mines of SECL.

1.3 Linkage

Coal from proposed Nawapara underground mine is not linked to any specific
consumer. It will be included among basket linkages for miscellaneous
consumers. However, there is a large demand of superior grade coal. The
overall quality of saleable coal from the mine is considered as ‘C’ longflame

1.10 Justification Of Present Report
The overall production of superior grade non-coking coal is less than the
demand. The superior grade non-coking coal production from existing mines
is depleting and also underground coal production is stagnating.
Thus to reduce the gap between demand and availability, Nawapara UG mine
is planned for production of 0.36 Mty (0.55Mt in peak period).
1.11 PURPOSE OF THE EIA/ EMP OF THE PROJECT
The project already has Environmental clearance from MOEF for
producing 0.18 Mty in the year 2002. Nawapara UGP (0.55 Mty) is an
expansion project, In accordance with the above requirement of expansion,
the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for Nawapara UGP of
(0.36mty) 0.55 MTYpeak capacity has been prepared.

A conglomeratic gritty sandstone bed is present below Pasang seam with a vertical return with mechanical
parting of up to 4 m. It is a good source of ground water aquifers, with artisan length airway ventilator
conditions at places. The thickness of this water bearing conglomeratic
sandstone horizon varies from <1.0 m to 15.0 m. 2.11 Mining Method

These ground water aquifers are likely to pose problems at the time of the
exploitation of the pasang seam.
The ground water potentiality of the coarse grinded pebbly sandstones of this
area appears to be high and hence a detailed study of the Geo-hydrology is very
essential.
Taking into account the conventional assumption of make of water, sump has
been designed and provision of pumps has been made in this RPR. But the
design and capacity of sump and provision of pumps can be made correctly only
after detailed hydro-geological studies confirming the make of water in the mine.
This aspect should therefore be taken care of.
The conventional Board and Pillar system of mining is being undertaken for
exploitation of Pasang Seam. Blasting off-the-solid has been done at face. The
blasted coal is being loaded by extra low height LHDs onto pony belt conveyors.
Two strike panels are being working by 4 LHDs are giving around 750 TPD The
total production per month is around 22000Te.

The socioeconomic study has been made with reference to Census 2001.
3.1.4.2 Land Use pattern
Land Use pattern study has been carried out with reference to Area statistics from
satellite imaginary study.
3.1.4.3 Air
Baseline data on environmental quality for Pre Monsoon season are collected for
83 days during the period from 09th April`12 to 30thJune `12.
Ambient air quality was monitored at 6 locations i.e. one in core zone and the
remaining five in buffer zone. A total of 24 samples (24-hrly) for PM10, PM2.5,
SO2,NOx CO,O3,NH3 samples were collected from each location during the study
period. Heavy metals samples were also collected once in the study period.
To assess the ambient air quality status, monitoring stations were identified on the
basis of meteorology in the upwind and downwind direction as well as to represent
the cross sectional scenario of the project site. Based on the production activities, the
parameters chosen for assessment of air quality are Particulate Matter <10 (PM10),
Particulate Matter <2.5 (PM2.5), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx),
Ammonia (NH3), Ozone (O3), Benzene , Benzo(a)pyrene and heavy metals.
Calibrated Respirable Dust sampler (with an average flow of 1.2 - 1.4 m3/min.)
were used for monitoring of PM10 and a tapping provided in the hopper of the
same sampler was utilised for sampling of SO2,NO2 , O3 , NH3 with proper flow
controller (1 L/min). Calibrated APM 550 Fine Particle Sampler (with an average
flow of 1.2 m3/min.) was used for monitoring of PM2.5. A temporary field
laboratory for the purpose of calibration of equipments and standardisation of
analytical procedures was also established. A digital imported CO detector was
3.1.4.4 Water
Samples were collected from different locations in October 2012 to December
2012 (Monitoring Data) and analysed. From the surface water sources, after
removal of floating/extraneous materials, 3 litres of representative water samples
were collected in plastic / glass cans as per IS:3025 and transported to laboratory
for physico-chemical analysis. At the time of collection, parameters like pH,
temperature and Dissolved Oxygen were measured in the field. For determination
of BOD and bacteriological analysis, 250 ml. pre-sterilised bottles were used and
care was taken to maintain cool temperature by keeping the bottles in iceboxes
during transportation to the laboratory for analysis. The physico-chemical and
bacteriological parameters for drinking/ground water were compared with IS:
10500; inland surface water, mine & industrial effluents with GSR 742 (E).
The water samples analysed for various parameters were compared with different
Indian Standards. The results of surface water samples and mine discharge
samples were compared with IS 2296-Part C and GSR 742 (E) respectively.
Results of ground water samples were compared with IS:10500 (Tolerance limits
specified for drinking water).
3.1.4.5 Noise
The noise levels were measured by Noise Level Meter continuously for 24 hrs. at
hourly intervals, in decibels under 'A' weighted average. Values were reported as
equivalent day, night and day-night noise levels.
As per Ministry of Environment & Forest, New Delhi, Notification dated 25.9.2000,

3.2.8 Forest, Flora & Fauna and plantations.

In the study area, the forest cover is 8272 ha. which is only 19.99 % of the total
buffer zone area. Forest existing within the buffer zone is part of Songara PF.
The Flora & Fauna study forms a part of the environmental data generation for
the preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental
Management Plan (EMP) for the proposed project. Evaluation of impending
development project-related ecological impact is an essential pre-requisite for
protection of environment from further degradation.
3.2.8.1Flora & Fauna of the study area
There are Protected Sal forests in the buffer zone of the mine lease area (MLA)
but there are no forests in the MLA. The protected forests were dominated by
Sal (Shorea robusta) with Butea monosperma and Madhuca longifolia as the
codominant species. They are open with tree density ranging from a low of 250
to a high of 1000 trees per hectare. A few areas were colonized by Bamboo
(Dendrocalamus strictus). Lantana camara along with the coppiced shoots of
Butea monosperma was the most widely scattered shrubs in the gaps within the
reserve forests. The protected Sal plantations are harvested periodically for
timber. There are also a few isolated timber plantations of Teak.
(1)The study area for the Flora & Fauna covers 10 KM radius from the periphery of
the Core Zone of the Nawapara UGP in the Bhatgaon coalfield area of South
Eastern Coalfield Limited (SECL) in Sarguja District.
The afforested areas will be protected from biotic pressure by fencing. It is evident
from the baseline data of the flora and fauna of the core area as well as from the
eye witness accounts that no Rare or endangered or endemic or threatened
(REET) species or species included in Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act of
1972 were spotted in the Mine lease area (MLA) during the past 10 years by the
local observers. The presence of such species in the buffer area is also uncertain.
However, the buffer zone is covered by a good diversity of plant species that
comprised of herbs, shrubs and tree species. The small plants such as herbs,
medicinal herbs and commonly available weeds were found to be good in number
and these plants were having the potential of rapid regeneration and spread. Due
to self regenerative capacity of these plants, the propagation strategy is not
required. Except for a few plant species, all the plant species found in this region
were found to be commonly available flora of all the regions. To improve the
vegetation cover, it is suggested that the saplings of diverse tree species such as
Acacia catechu, Anogeissus latifolia, Butea monosperma, Diospyros melanoxylon,
Madhuca longifolia, Lagerstroemia parviflora, Lannea coromandelica, Shorea
robusta, Terminalia bellirica, Boswellia serrata, Dendrocalamus strictus, Cassia
siamea, Eucalyptus globules, Acacia auriculiformis, Albizia lebbeck, Azadirachta
indica, Dalbergia sisoo, Gmelina arborea, Phyllanthus emblica, Pongamia pinnata
and Tectona grandis could be planted to fill the gaps at a regular intervals. The
natural forests should be protected as envisaged by the forest conservation act.
List has been provided in Annexure XI.

(2) Baseline status of Flora & Fauna was evaluated through field sampling,
reconnaissance surveys and from secondary sources. Important Flora & Fauna
species of the eco systems of the study area have been enumerated.

The three stop dams, constructed on Gulphuli nala, near Kulhari, Mohanpur and
Shankarpur villages, are the prominent man made water bodies in the area. In
addition bunds/tanks constructed on 1st and 2nd order streams are very common.
Most of these dams are used for irrigation use. The drainage pattern covering the
core and buffer zones of the study area is shown in Plate No.II.
3.3.2 Groundwater:
The formations within the study area are Gondwanas, Talchirs and Metamorphics.
Major portion of the area is occupied by Gondwanas. However, the northern part
and to certain extent of the north-east is occupied metamorphics. The Talchirs
formation is developed mainly along the eastern fringe of the study area.
The Project area, is covered by Barakar formation, comprises of soil cover and
sandstone of different grain sizes with shale beds and coal seams. The Barakars,
comprising medium to very coarse grained sandstone with number of intervening
gritty pebbly (conglomerate) horizons are saturated and behave as aquifers.
Whereas, the shale beds and coal seams behave as aquiclude. Due to
stratification and with the presence of aquiclude (shale/coal), a multi-aquifer
system developed. The Barakar formation has a wide variation in thickness from
45m to 304m depending on the basement configuration.
The thickness of weathered zone varying from 8.00m to 46.5.00m, behaves as
phreatic and most potential aquifer. The lower aquifers, due to compaction, are
usually less potential and the ground water flow dominates through secondary
porosity developed.
3.3.2.1 Aquifer Details: The aquifer units present in Barakar sandstone
formation and are sandwiched with shale and coal beds. Due to sedimentation/
stratification multiple aquifer system prevails. The strike trend resembles an open
bowl with deeper area in the northern part. The aquifer system dips, 1.5 0 - 30,
towards northerly. Out of the 9 coal seams developed in the coal block, only
Pasang seam is suitable and selected for underground mining. Only one major
fault, extending roughly parallel to the western block boundary, with a throw of 2m
to 40m, is observed and influences the groundwater flow. The various
hydrogeological units developed in the project area are as follow:

Very coarse grained to pebbly
Deeper aquifer sandstone with occasional loose 41.72m – 57.75m
pockets
Aquiclude Pasang seam (Working seam) 0.11m – 3.11m
The aquifer units present in Barakar sandstone are sandwiched with shale and
coal beds. Due to sedimentation/ stratification multiple aquifer system prevails.
Masan seam is developed only in the eastern part of the coal block. The upper
horizon is weathered upto an average depth of 25m and behaves as unconfined
aquifer. Thus, the formation lying above Dhejgar seam as well as the weathered
formation above Pasang seam in the in-crop region, behaves as unconfined
aquifer. The lower hydrogeological units are semi-confined to confine in nature.
The development of younger coal seams (L2, Masan, and Dhejagir seams) in the
roof behaves as aquiclude and restricts the connection between the phreatic
aquifer and the lower confining aquifer units. With sufficient recharge and
recirculation of mine water utilized for irrigation use, the aquifer system is
maintaining its potential constantly.
Some exploration boreholes, drilled in the East and NE of the mine block, revealed
artesian conditions. So also, most permeable formations were revealed by
correlation of exploration boreholes with tube wells in the local area. Thus, most
potential aquifer system developed in the eastern and north-eastern part of the
mine block.
3.3.2.2 Aquifer parameters: Detailed hydrogeological investigations
were carried out by CMPDI in the adjacent Kalyani colliery of Bhatgoan Area. The
aquifer parameters as evaluated at Kalyani UG are: Hydraulic Conductivity (K)
=0.61 m/day and Storage coefficient (S) = 3.7x10 -2. However, at selected locations
with the presence of gritty/pebbly conglomeratic beds, the permeability will be very
high and may be considered as a localized phenomenon. From slug injection
tests, the permeability of shallow and deeper aquifer was evaluated as 0.5m/day
and 0.98m/day respectively.
3.3.3 Groundwater levels:
3.3.3.1 Village water levels:
To assess the water table configuration, a network consisting 40 dug wells,
covering most of the villages falling within the core and buffer zone, was selected
for the study area. The wells are mostly used for domestic water needs. The water
levels in all the 40 dug wells were monitored during the pre monsoon period i.e.
May 2009, May 2011and May 2013 and in the post monsoon period i.e. November
2009. The details of monitoring wells and water levels are given in Table-2.
The pre-monsoon water levels (May 2013), in close vicinity of the mine (i.e. core

3.37 Probable Impact of Mining on Groundwater System
(a) Impact on Topography & Drainage: Subsidence due to total extraction of
coal causes changes in topography and drainage by developing micro basins,
subsidence fractures, ridges, pot holes etc. This alters the drainage of the area in
micro level. As such no nala is draining through the mine area. Only a pond is
located in the mine area. Care shall be taken, to leave enough pillars in
underground as barriers, to avoid any damage to surface topography or water
bodies. In deeper underground mines, the subsidence is barely noticeable on the
surface.

4.3.8 Final decommissioning or rehabilitation of completed project :
The activities involved in this stage are dismantling of mine infrastructures, which
are no more useful either by the nearby upcoming projects or cannot be handed
over to the nearby society.
Every worker shall be periodically checked up once in every five years keeping
proper record of their health profile including X-ray and laboratory tests by
establishing and extending pathological facilities. The importance of such
periodical medical examination is to detect and prevent occupational diseases

like Pneumoconiosis and Tuberculosis. The mining activities expose workers to
some injuries and health hazards.
E) Preventive measures:-
The SECL authorities have adopted following measures to prevent occupational
diseases and health hazards.
* Pre-employment, pre-placement and periodic medical examination of
employees.
* Regular monitoring of working environment and implementation of
safety and control measures, to prevent hazards.
* Use of protective equipments, clothing, helmets, Gas mask, shoes, etc.
* Periodical medical examination of every worker is done once in five
years to detect preventable and curable diseases at an early stage.
* A Special Board constituted by the Chief Medical Officer examines cases
suspected having Pneumoconiosis. Established cases are suitably
compensated and their job is changed if required.
F) Literacy Drive :
An action plan for achieving 100% literacy among workers in
the SECL, was launched in the year 1992. Under the same scheme, workers of
Nawapara UG project will be covered to achieve 100% literacy level.
4.4.2 Land Restoration
Subsidence Pridiction :
The subsidence prediction model based on Influence Function method,
developed in CMPDI, has been used for estimation of likely subsidence over the
mining area. Subsidence prediction has been done for the panels proposed to be
extracted by caving method in mine projection plans of seams As per project
report, the minimum and maximum thicknesses of extraction have been
considered to be 1.5m and 2.7m of the seams respectively. Input data used for
subsidence prediction, such as mining parameters, geology, panels dimension,
sequence of extraction of the panels and surface features have been collected
from project report
Details of mine layout, surface contours, surface features, forest and other
relevant features have been digitised from surface plan and mine projection plan
of Pasang seam. The digitised data have been used as input parameters for
subsidence prediction model.
IV-15
EIA/EMP FOR NAWAPARA UGP
Since no measured data are available regarding subsidence parameters of the
mine and nearby mines, the values of subsidence factor, angle of draw and non-
effective width of the panels for single seam extraction have been taken
considering the rock mass of overlying strata, geo-mining conditions and
subsidence data observed in the neighbouring coalfields having similar geo-
mining conditions.
The parameters taken for subsidence prediction are as follows
i) Subsidence factor : 0.4 for Pasang Seam
ii) Angle of draw : 300 for single seam extraction
iii) Anticipated percentage : 80%
of extraction in panels
iv) Depth : Average depth for each panel or part of the panel where depth
varies significantly within the panel.
v) Thickness of extraction : Average thickness of the seam for each
panel or part thereof. Minimum 1.50m and maximum 3.0m full thickness of the
seam.
Before subsidence prediction, the prediction model has been calibrated
according to the above mentioned subsidence parameters. For subsidence
calculation, underground extraction area has been divided into 10m x 10m grid
blocks as individual elements.
The numerical procedure followed for prediction involves estimation of
subsidence at the grid points of each element and subsequent integration to
arrive at resultant values and the final area influenced by ground movement.
Subsidence has been calculated over 18343 points.
Subsidence prediction has been done for the life of the mine. The contours
have been shown in Plate VII (a to i).
4.4.2.1 SUBSIDENCE PREDICTION RESULTS :
(a) Maximum subsidence, subsidence contours and subsidence profiles
The anticipated maximum possible subsidence likely to occur over the mining
area due to extraction of Pasang Seam individually is 2.01mm . The estimated
maximum possible subsidence likely to occur at the end of mine life (i.e. after
23 years of mining) is 2.01mm, which is likely to take place over the panels 19
of Pasang Seam . In the forest area, the maximum possible subsidence likely
to occur is 2.01mm, which is likely to take place over the panel no 19 of
Pasang Seam . From the estimated subsidence at each grid point, subsidence
IV-16
 EIA/EMP FOR NAWAPARA UGP
contours are drawn and shown in Plates VII (a to i). Subsidence contours are
shown alternately in blue, green, and red colours. In all Plates subsidence
contours are shown 0.5m intervals.
(b) Effect of subsidence on surface topography and surface features
along with mitigative measures :
Surface topography before mining and at the end of mine life are shown in
Plates VII (c and d). Change in topography due to subsidence can be seen by
comparing the above mentioned plates. For a comparative assessment of
ground condition before and after mining, 3D views of surface before and after
mining, (i.e. after extraction of seam-I are shown in Plates VII (h and i)
respectively. By comparing the above two views, it is observed that there is
moderate change in surface topography.
The surface topography of the mining area is mildly undulating. The ground
elevation of the mining area ranges from 558m to 583m, i.e. a difference of
elevation of 25m. For such terrain, the maximum anticipated subsidence of
2.01mm is unlikely to affect the drainage pattern in the area. However,
subsidence may result in the formation of depressions over the centre of the
panels and cracks at the zones of high tensile strain such as along the
boundary and barriers. The surface cracks, developed due to subsidence, need
to be filled up properly and regularly with clay where exposed rocks are present
on surface, clay with stone chips is put into the cracks to achieve the original
drainage pattern of the area and to prevent ingress of air and water into the
goaf. This will minimise the chances of underground inundation and
spontaneous heating.
For estimating the effects of subsidence on surface features, panel wise
anticipated maximum possible subsidence, slope and tensile strain have been
calculated due to extraction of Pasang Seam individually and cumulatively,
which are shown in Table 1. Strain developed due to subsidence is the prime
cause of damage to the surface features. Thus, values of strain likely to occur
near important surface features have been estimated to envisage the extent of
damages to the surface features.
(c) Impact of subsidence on small seasonal streamlets :
Small seasonal streamlets existing over the mining area are likely to be
affected by subsidence at several places. Some portions of the streamlets are
not likely to be affected by subsidence as sufficient barrier is proposed to be
left against such canals .Considering the make of water in these streamlets,
due care has to be undertaken while extraction is made below them such as
avoiding extraction during monsoon and filling up cracks developed in the bed
of streamlets when dry, to avoid inrush of water belowground in the rainy
IV-17
EIA/EMP FOR NAWAPARA UGP
season. However, if it is necessary to have the streamlets out of subsidence
influence area, coal pillars should be left un-extracted vertically below and
within subsidence influence area from it, i.e. within 300 angle of draw for single
seam extraction.
(d) Impact of subsidence on Inclines :
Inclines of Pasang Seam Mine are unlikely to be affected by subsidence as
these are located outside the subsidence influence area.
(e) Impact of subsidence on infrastructure near the Incline:
The infrastructure near the incline is unlikely to be affected by subsidence as
they are located outside the subsidence influence area.
(f) Impact of subsidence on tenancy/agriculture land :
The tenancy land over the mining area is likely to be affected by subsidence at
several places. Thus, wherever cultivation is being done decision regarding
the crop compensation to the project affected people has to be taken when
depillaring is carried out in the panels below it and effect subsequent
reclamation by filling and consolidation of the land.
(g) Impact of subsidence on Airshaft:
Airshaft on the surface unlikely to be affected by subsidence as subsidence
just touches it.
(h) Impact of subsidence on villages :
The villages located above the mining area are likely to be affected by
subsidence. The range of the subsidence values alongwith subsidence
contours is shown in plates VII (a to i) . The subsidence study has been carried
out considering that the landowners of the villages would be suitably
compensated in accordance with the law in vogue.
IV-18
 EIA/EMP FOR NAWAPARA UGP
(i) Impact of subsidence on Ponds :
Ponds on the surface are unlikely to be affected by subsidence as these are
located outside the subsidence influence area and coal below has been
proposed not to be depillared as shown in Plate.
(j) Impact of subsidence on roads
The coal below road has been left and will not be depillared in most the area
within the mine boundary . The road alongwith some barrier as shown in Plate
VII (b) proposed not to be depillared.
(k) Effect of subsidence on forest with mitigative measures :
The area of forest land likely to be affected by subsidence is shown in Plate
VII(f). For estimating the effect of subsidence on forest, panel wise anticipated
maximum possible subsidence, slope and tensile strain have been calculated
due to extraction of Pasang Seam. Such amount of tensile strain is likely to
develop surface cracks more than 300mm wide. The maximum magnitude of
strain as shown plate VII (e) is unlikely to cause falling of trees in the forest.
Moreover, presence of soil at the surface will act as cushioning cover for
stepping or opening of cracks. Strain will be absorbed to some extent by the
soil and cracks will be reduced. Soil even under strain may not cause
dislocation of most of the plants.
Only a limited number of trees on the edges of subsidence trough and surface
cracks may get tilted. Surface cracks likely to develop in the forest area should
be filled up with clay and stone chips and where there is exposed rock with
stone chips and thereafter with about 0.3m high clay heap over the cracks.
4.4.2.2 SUBSIDENCE MANAGEMENT :
Considering the impact of subsidence on surface topography, forest and
surface features, as explained in earlier chapters, the following subsidence
management aspects are required to be undertaken to overcome or to
minimise adverse effects.
i) Due to subsidence, surface cracks likely to develop over the mining area
need to be filled up properly and regularly by clay and stone chips and
thereafter with about 0.3m high clay heap over the cracks. It will help in
achieving the original drainage pattern over the mining area, improving the
water retention capacity of the soil, minimising the top soil erosion and avoiding
chances of underground inundation and spontaneous heating.
IV-19
EIA/EMP FOR NAWAPARA UGP
ii) It is suggested that a team is formed by the mine management which will be
responsible for the proper and regular filling of surface cracks developed due to
subsidence. The team will also maintain record of the development and filling
of surface cracks. Adequate supply of filling materials should be arranged by
mine management at the site.
iii) It is not expected to have adverse impact on the forest. Only a limited
number of trees located on the edges of subsidence trough and surface cracks
may get tilted.
iv) Provision has to be made for compensatory afforestation and strengthening
of forest cover to take care of losses, if any.
v) Subsidence may result in depressions on the surface with accumulation of
water during the rains. Such accumulation of water may be beneficial for
vegetation in the forest. These water bodies may be retained wherever
possible or filled up/drained out by cutting drains depending on safety of the
underground workings.
vi) Surface drains should be made outside of the subsidence influence area to
prevent the surface water of adjoining area from coming into active subsidence
area.
vii) Coal pillars are to be left un-extracted vertically below and within
subsidence influence area from the surface features which are required to be
protected from subsidence damages.
viii) Considering the make of water in small seasonal streamlets existing
over the mining area, due care has to be undertaken while extraction is made
below these streamlets such as avoiding extraction during monsoon and filling
up cracks developed in the bed of the streamlets, when dry. However, if it is
required to keep these streamlets totally out of subsidence influence area, coal
pillars should be left un-extracted vertically below and within angle of draw from
the streamlet, i.e. within 300 angle of draw for single seam extraction.
ix) Tenancy/agriculture land over the mining area is likely to be affected by
subsidence. Thus, the affected people have to be covered by the crop
compensation agreed to by the management in accordance with law in practice
when depillaring operation is carried out in the panels below the land and
subsequent reclamation by filling and consolidation of the land.
The impact of subsidence on different surface features and forest land along
with the degree of damage are provided in Annexure I for reference, i.e. the
IV-20
 EIA/EMP FOR NAWAPARA UGP
“Subsidence Impact Matrix”. The Subsidence Impact Matrix (SIM) shown
therein was developed by CMRI under a Ministry of Coal funded S&T Project.
4.4.2.3 CONCLUSION :
i) Due to extraction of Pasang Seam , the maximum possible subsidence
likely to occur over the mining area is 2.01mm, which is likely to take place over
the panel 19 as shown in the plate VII (d). The estimated maximum possible
slope and tensile strain likely to occur are 27.4 mm/m and 14.41 mm/m over
the Panel No 19.
ii) The surface cracks are likely to develop more than 300mm wide wherever
the values of tensile strain is more than 20mm/m. Only a limited number of
trees falling on the edges of subsidence trough and surface cracks may get
tilted or dislodged.
v) Provision has to be made for compensatory afforestation and
strengthening of forest cover to take care of losses, if any.
vi) The plate VII (d, e & f) depict the subsidence affected area. The study
shows that if portions as shown in the plates below the ponds are not
depillared, the water bodies will not be affected by subsidence. Considering
the make of water in these streamlets, due care has to be undertaken while
extraction is made below them such as avoiding extraction during monsoon
and filling up cracks developed in the bed of streamlets, when dry to avoid
inrush of water belowground in the rainy season. However, if it is necessary to
have the streamlets out of subsidence influence area, coal pillars should be left
un-extracted vertically below and within subsidence influence area from it, i.e.
within 300 angle of draw for single seam extraction .
viii) The road is likely to be effected by a subsidence. However, if it is
necessary to have the road out of subsidence influence area, coal pillars
should be left un-extracted vertically below and within subsidence influence
area from it, i.e. within 300 angle of draw for single seam extraction. The
subsidence contours in the plates depict that the a very large portion of the
road is out of the subsidence affected area .
ix) Inclines in the mine area are not affected by subsidence as is evident from
the plates.These lie outside the subsidence affected area
x) The tenancy land over the mining area is likely to be affected by subsidence
at several places. Thus, wherever cultivation is being done crop compensation
agreed to by the project affected people and consonance with the company
IV-21
EIA/EMP FOR NAWAPARA UGP
policy has to be given whenever depillaring has to be carried out in the panels
below it and subsequent reclamation by filling and consolidation of the land.
xi) The surface topography of the mining area is undulating with alternate
mounds and valleys. The ground elevation varies from 558m to 583m, i.e. a
difference of elevation of 25m. For such terrain, the maximum anticipated
subsidence of 2.01mm is unlikely to affect the drainage pattern in the area.
However, subsidence may result in the formation of depressions over the
centre of the panels where water may accumulate during rains. The
accumulation of water may be beneficial for vegetation in the forest. Thus, the
desirable water bodies may be retained after extraction of all the four seams. In
case the safety of underground workings is impinged by them, the depressions
should be filled up or water from them should be drained out by cutting drains.
xii) Surface cracks formed due to subsidence will need to be filled up with
clay and stone chips and thereafter with about 0.3m high clay heap over the
cracks. It will help in achieving the original drainage pattern in the mining area,
improving water retention capacity of the soil, minimising the top soil erosion
and avoiding chances of underground inundation and spontaneous heating.
xiii) It is suggested that the mine management forms a team that will be
responsible for the proper and regular filling of surface cracks developed due to
subsidence. The team will also maintain a record of the development and filling
of surface cracks. Adequate supply of filling materials should be arranged by
the mine management at the site.
xiv) Surface drains should be made outside the subsidence influence area to
prevent the surface water of adjoining area from coming into active subsidence
area.
xv) For the safety of underground workings it will be necessary to prevent
the formation of water bodies on the surface while extracting panels in the
seam.
xvi) It is recommended that while carrying out extraction in the Pasang Seam ,
close subsidence monitoring required to be done over some initial panels.
On the basis of observed data, necessary correction in subsidence
estimation may be done, if required.

CHAPTER V
ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
5.1 TECHNOLOGY ALTERNATIVES OF THE PROJECT
5.1.1 SELECTION OF MINING METHOD
Underground mining may only be feasible considering disposition of seam,
depth of cover, seam thickness, terrain, forest area on the surface, existing
mining method, extent of present workings, additional workings area and other
geo-mining characteristics of seams (Dhejagir Top, Local2 Pasang) lying
within proposed area under consideration.
5.1.2 PRESENT MINING METHOD
Semi-mechanised Bord & Pillar method with SDLs is in vogue at Nawapara
UG mine. The method has been successfully working in the mine since
inception. Presently, no difficulty is being faced while working with semi-
mechanised B&P with SDLs. However, in view of change in the proposed
mining area proposed to be worked and other geo-mining conditions other
difficulties like sluggish ventilation, long traveling distance, maintenance of
long stretch of isolation stoppings along main dip, etc, are likely to be faced.
5.1.3 PROPOSED MINING METHOD
The area considered in the project consists of One workable seam in different
patches mineable areas. Considering the geo-mining characteristics of of the
seam and the mine, the following technological options are available :
A. Semi-mechanised (Intermediate Technology) Bord & Pillar (B&P) method
with SDLs (existing method)
This system of mining is suitable for seam characteristics with seam thickness
varying from 1.5m to 4.5m, at relatively low depth of cover and seam gradient
of less than 1 in 6. The system of mining is very flexible and can be suitably
adjusted in case of change / variation in faults / geological structures.
At Nawapara UG, the thickness of the seams under consideration (Pasnng)
varies from less than 1.2 m to about 2.5 m at a depth of around 94.62m to
about 169.96 m having flatter gradient of less than 1 in 20. Hence, it is
proposed for development and final extraction of the panels in different
seams by B&P method with SDLs Extra low height. Moreover, abrupt
variation of thickness / pinching of seam, which may be encountered often,
can be easily negotiated.
B. MASS PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY
The Mass Production Technologies (MPT) are basically non-blasting
technology involving cutting/shearing of coal with faster rate of extraction,
thereby has a faster rate of advance. In Mass Production Technologies, two
options are available:
V-1
EIA/EMP for Nawapara UGP.
(i) Continuous Miner (CM) Technology: The Continuous Miner technology is
generally suitable for moderate seam thickness (generally >2.5m) & mild
gradient of coal seams. The method may be applicable where adequate
reserves with moderate to higher grade of coal (D & above) is available and
large area is free from major geological disturbances. The method is very
flexible in system of mining & operation to adapt to the nature of deposit.
Presently, Continuous Miners are available for extracting seam thickness up
to 4.5m and has found application in CIL mines. Hence, this system of mining
will not be applicable at present till thin seam continuous miner is available.
(ii) Powered Support Longwall (PSLW) technology: PSLW technology is
generally suitable where comparatively large area is free from geological
disturbances and long panels can be made for final extraction, as the method
is highly inflexible. The property should not have large and abrupt variation in
seam thickness and the seam has superior grade of coal. Besides, as the
method involves cutting/shearing (no blasting) and the rate of extraction is
very high, it ensures better percentage of extraction, ease of management
and is more safe.
The conditions for application of PSLW are not available.
Accordingly, it is proposed to continue with existing B&P method with SDLs in
Pasang seam based on the geo-mining conditions and previous experience
and success of B&P method in existing Nawapara UG & adjoining mines for
development & depillaring of panels.
Besides, keeping in view the nature of formation in the immediate roof, no
previous experience of depillaring at the mine, it is proposed that the strata
monitoring, control & management should form the integral part of method of
mining.
5.2 MINING & MINE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
The mining strategy adopted for planning & re-organizing Nawapara UG is
briefly elaborated as under:
(a) Extension & Integration of Workable Area: As the workable area in
Nawapara UG, it is proposed to extend the existing mine and integrate
additional workable area. It may not be feasible to open a separate mine / set
of mine entries as it may be un-economical/ difficult and having a short life
due to reserves.
(b) Utilization of Existing Resources & Equipment: Integration of existing and
proposed mining has been proposed to fully utilize the existing resources and
minimize requirement of additional resources & equipment, except the
resources & development required for augmentation of production This has
also lead to reduced gestation period to achieve target.
V-2
 EIA/EMP for Nawapara UGP.

(c) Integration of Coal & men/material transport system: At the face, blasted
coal has been loaded by SDL directly onto pony belt conveyor. In gate road, .
gate belt conveyor is proposed. In trunk roadway, belt conveyor have been
proposed for transport of coal from the dip most point up to the main incline
belt tail end. The trunk belt, in sequence, will further discharge coal onto the CHAPTER –VI
main incline belt via strata bunker to take out coal from underground to the
surface bunker. Provision of two numbers of underground strata bunkers ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
each of 300t capacity in trunk roadways has been made in this report. The
material from surface would be lowered through the direct haulage. In the 6.1 GENERAL
trunk roads, it would be hauled by endless haulage. Similarly, in panel gate
roads, it will also be hauled in/out by endless haulage used for coal transport The implementation and monitoring of pollution control measures and for
also. overall environmental management, environmental cell at the area and
Corporate level will take all necessary care. It will look after the following

7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT
Assessment of risk and its management is essential to guard against and
mitigate the consequences of major accidents. The term, "major accident"
means an unexpected and sudden occurrence of event from abnormal
developments in course of one's industrial activity leading to a serious
danger to public or environment, whether immediate or delayed, inside or
outside the installation involving one or more hazardous substances.
Keeping in view the three basic principles i.e. prevention, preparedness
(both pro-active and reactive) and mitigation of effect through rescue,
recovery, relief and rehabilitation; a comprehensive blue print of risk
assessment and management plan has been prepared for Nawapara
UGP incorporating the following:
* Identification and assessment of risks
 Recommendation of measures to prevent damage to life and
property against such risks.

(b) Effect of subsidence on surface topography and surface features
along with mitigative measures :
(d) Impact of subsidence on Inclines :
Surface topography before mining and at the end of mine life are shown in Plates
VII (c and d). Change in topography due to subsidence can be seen by
comparing the above mentioned plates. For a comparative assessment of
ground condition before and after mining, 3D views of surface before and after
mining, (i.e. after extraction of seam-I are shown in Plates VII (h and i)
respectively. By comparing the above two views, it is observed that there is
moderate change in surface topography.
The surface topography of the mining area is mildly undulating. The ground
elevation of the mining area ranges from 583m to 558m, i.e. a difference of
elevation of 25m. For such terrain, the maximum anticipated subsidence of
2.01mm is unlikely to affect the drainage pattern in the area. However,
subsidence may result in the formation of depressions over the centre of the
panels and cracks at the zones of high tensile strain such as along the boundary
and barriers. The surface cracks, developed due to subsidence, need to be filled
up properly and regularly with clay where exposed rocks are present on surface,
clay with stone chips is put into the cracks to achieve the original drainage
pattern of the area and to prevent ingress of air and water into the goaf. This will
minimise the chances of underground inundation and spontaneous heating.
For estimating the effects of subsidence on surface features, panel wise
anticipated maximum possible subsidence, slope and tensile strain have been
calculated due to extraction of Pasang Seam individually and cumulatively,
which are shown in Table 1. Strain developed due to subsidence is the prime
cause of damage to the surface features. Thus, values of strain likely to occur
near important surface features have been estimated to envisage the extent of
damages to the surface features.
(c) Impact of subsidence on small seasonal streamlets :
Small seasonal streamlets existing over the mining area are likely to be affected
by subsidence at several places. Some portions of the streamlets are not likely
to be affected by subsidence as sufficient barrier is proposed to be left against
such canals .Considering the make of water in these streamlets, due care has to
be undertaken while extraction is made below them such as avoiding extraction
during monsoon and filling up cracks developed in the bed of streamlets when
dry, to avoid inrush of water belowground in the rainy season. However, if it is
necessary to have the streamlets out of subsidence influence area, coal pillars
should be left un-extracted vertically below and within subsidence influence area
X-9
EIA/EMP for Nawapara UGP.
from it, i.e. within 300 angle of draw for single seam extraction .
Inclines of Pasang Seam are unlikely to be affected by subsidence as these are
located outside the subsidence influence area.
(e) Impact of subsidence on infrastructure near the Incline:
The infrastructure near the incline is unlikely to be affected by subsidence as
they are located outside the subsidence influence area.
(f) Impact of subsidence on tenancy/agriculture land :
The tenancy land over the mining area is likely to be affected by subsidence at
several places. Thus, wherever cultivation is being done decision regarding the
R&R package to the project affected people has to be taken when depillaring is
carried out in the panels below it and effect subsequent reclamation by filling and
consolidation of the land.
(g) Impact of subsidence on Airshaft:
Airshaft on the surface unlikely to be affected by subsidence as subsidence
just touches it.
(h) Impact of subsidence on villages :
The villages located above the mining area are likely to be affected by
subsidence. The range of the subsidence values alongwith subsidence contours
is shown in plates VII (a to i) . The subsidence study has been carried out
considering that the landowners of the villages would be suitably compensated in
accordance with the law in vogue.
(i) Impact of subsidence on Ponds :
Ponds on the surface are unlikely to be affected by subsidence as these are
located outside the subsidence influence area and coal below has been
X-10
 EIA/EMP for Nawapara UGP.
proposed not to be depillared as shown in Plate.
(j) Impact of subsidence on roads
The coal below road has been left and will not be depillared in most the area
within the mine boundary . The road alongwith some barrier as shown in Plate
VII (b) proposed not to be depillared.
(k) Effect of subsidence on forest with mitigative measures :
The area of forest land likely to be affected by subsidence is shown in Plate
VII(f). For estimating the effect of subsidence on forest, panel wise anticipated
maximum possible subsidence, slope and tensile strain have been calculated
due to extraction of Pasang Seam. Such amount of tensile strain is likely to
develop surface cracks more than 300mm wide. The maximum magnitude of
strain as shown plate VII (e) is unlikely to cause falling of trees in the forest.
Moreover, presence of soil at the surface will act as cushioning cover for
stepping or opening of cracks. Strain will be absorbed to some extent by the soil
and cracks will be reduced. Soil even under strain may not cause dislocation of
most of the plants.
Only a limited number of trees on the edges of subsidence trough and surface
cracks may get tilted. Surface cracks likely to develop in the forest area should
be filled up with clay and stone chips and where there is exposed rock with
stone chips and thereafter with about 0.3m high clay heap over the cracks.
SUBSIDENCE MANAGEMENT :
Considering the impact of subsidence on surface topography, forest and surface
features, as explained in earlier chapters, the following subsidence management
aspects are required to be undertaken to overcome or to minimise adverse
effects.
i) Due to subsidence, surface cracks likely to develop over the mining area
need to be filled up properly and regularly by clay and stone chips and thereafter
with about 0.3m high clay heap over the cracks. It will help in achieving the
original drainage pattern over the mining area, improving the water retention
capacity of the soil, minimising the top soil erosion and avoiding chances of
underground inundation and spontaneous heating.
ii) It is suggested that a team is formed by the mine management which will be
responsible for the proper and regular filling of surface cracks developed due to
X-11
EIA/EMP for Nawapara UGP.
subsidence. The team will also maintain record of the development and filling of
surface cracks. Adequate supply of filling materials should be arranged by mine
management at the site.
iii) It is suggested that a time lag of about 5 years should be maintained between
extractions of successive panels in superimposition, except the contiguous
workings. This will allow the super-incumbent strata to consolidate and settle
before the extraction of lower seam. With this time lag in multiple seam
extraction, depressions on the surface will take place in steps and after long
intervals of time, and as a result reduced amount of slope and strain will develop
on the surface. Hence, it is not expected to have adverse impact on the forest.
Only a limited number of trees located on the edges of subsidence trough and
surface cracks may get tilted.
iv) Provision has to be made for compensatory afforestation and strengthening of
forest cover to take care of losses, if any.
v) Subsidence may result in depressions on the surface with accumulation of
water during the rains. Such accumulation of water may be beneficial for
vegetation in the forest. These water bodies may be retained wherever possible
or filled up/drained out by cutting drains depending on safety of the underground
workings.
vi) Surface drains should be made outside of the subsidence influence area to
prevent the surface water of adjoining area from coming into active subsidence
area.
vii) Coal pillars are to be left un-extracted vertically below and within
subsidence influence area from the surface features which are required to be
protected from subsidence damages.
viii) Considering the make of water in small seasonal streamlets existing over
the mining area, due care has to be undertaken while extraction is made below
these streamlets such as avoiding extraction during monsoon and filling up
cracks developed in the bed of the streamlets, when dry. However, if it is
required to keep these streamlets totally out of subsidence influence area, coal
pillars should be left un-extracted vertically below and within angle of draw from
the streamlet, i.e. within 300 angle of draw for single seam extraction.
ix) Tenancy/agriculture land over the mining area is likely to be affected by
subsidence. Thus, the affected people have to be covered by the R&R package
agreed to by the management in accordance with law in practice when

depillaring operation is carried out in the panels below the land and subsequent
reclamation by filling and consolidation of the land.
The impact of subsidence on different surface features and forest land along with
the degree of damage are provided in Annexure I for reference, i.e. the
“Subsidence Impact Matrix”. The Subsidence Impact Matrix (SIM) shown therein
was developed by CMRI under a Ministry of Coal funded S&T Project.
x) Due to subsidence, surface cracks likely to develop over the mining area need to
be filled up properly and regularly by clay and stone chips and thereafter with
about 0.3m high clay heap over the cracks. It will help in achieving the original
drainage pattern over the mining area, improving the water retention capacity of
the soil, minimising the top soil erosion and avoiding chances of underground
inundation and spontaneous heating.
xv) Surface drains should be made outside of the subsidence influence area to
prevent the surface water of adjoining area from coming into active subsidence
area.
xvi) Coal pillars are to be left un-extracted vertically below and within subsidence
influence area from the surface features which are required to be protected from
subsidence damages.
xvii) Considering the make of water in small seasonal streamlets existing over the
mining area, due care has to be undertaken while extraction is made below these
streamlets such as avoiding extraction during monsoon and filling up cracks
developed in the bed of the streamlets, when dry. However, if it is required to
keep these streamlets totally out of subsidence influence area, coal pillars should
be left un-extracted vertically below and within angle of draw from the streamlet,
i.e. within 300 angle of draw for single seam extraction and 35 0 angle of draw for
multiple seam extraction.

xi) It is suggested that a team is formed by the mine management which will be
responsible for the proper and regular filling of surface cracks developed due to
subsidence. The team will also maintain record of the development and filling of
surface cracks. Adequate supply of filling materials should be arranged by mine
management at the site.
xviii) Tenancy/agriculture land over the mining area is likely to be affected by
subsidence. Thus, crop compensation has to be paid to the tenancy/agriculture
land owners during the year when depillaring operation is carried out in the
panels below it and subsequent reclamation by filling and consolidation of the
land.

xii) It is suggested that a time lag of about 5 years should be maintained between
extractions of successive panels in superimposition, except the contiguous
workings. This will allow the super-incumbent strata to consolidate and settle
before the extraction of lower seam. With this time lag in multiple seam
extraction, depressions on the surface will take place in steps and after long
intervals of time, and as a result reduced amount of slope and strain will develop
on the surface. Hence, it is not expected to have adverse impact on the forest. ******************************
Only a limited number of trees located on the edges of subsidence trough and
surface cracks may get tilted.

xiii) Provision has to be made for compensatory afforestation and strengthening of

forest cover to take care of losses, if any.

xiv) Subsidence may result in depressions on the surface with accumulation of water
during the rains. Such accumulation of water may be beneficial for vegetation in
the forest. These water bodies may be retained wherever possible or filled
up/drained out by cutting drains depending on safety of the underground
workings.

In order to assess the quality of soil of the Nawapara UGP area, three typical sites
were selected which would be representative of the entire area. These were Barren
land of Nawapara (Core Zone) and Agricultural land(Latori village) & Agricultural
land(Mahesh puri village). The sites were named as NS1, NS2 and NS3.
Sampling details
A total number of nine samples were collected from three sampling pits, details of
which are given below.
90 cm. depth trial pits were dug at each location to collect the soil samples. Samples
were taken at 30 cm., 60 cm. and 90 cm. depth of each sampling pit. One packet of
disturbed sample was taken at each depth of 30 cm., 60 cm. and 90 cm. These pack-
ets were marked indicating location, depth etc. One undisturbed soil sample has been
taken at a depth of 40 cm. of each sampling pit. The undisturbed sample has been
taken through a 7” long sample tube. The undisturbed sample was immediately sealed
to protect the moisture. For determination of moisture value, separate sample were
taken at every depth of 30 cm., 60 cm. and 90 cm. of the sampling pit.
(3) The impact in the context of Flora & Fauna in the study area is not considered to
be significant as the proposed project area does not contain any endangered and
endemic Flora & Fauna.
(4) Stage-wise implementation of preservation and upgradation of ecological envi-
ronment shall be carried out if it requires on regular monitoring during operation of
the proposed projectg members.
a) Conservation of Flora:
Underground Mining does not cause any significant damage to the flora and the as-
sociated fauna of the mining site. The impacts can be reversed and the flora and
fauna can be rehabilitated and restored through minor intervention when once the
process of extraction of coal is over. The floral conservation plan is mainly focused
on artificial regeneration of a good tree cover through afforestation of the vacant ar-
eas. Water available in the mine pits could be diverted for sapling nursery and planta-
tions.

The afforested areas will be protected from biotic pressure by fencing. It is evident
from the baseline data of the flora and fauna of the core area as well as from the eye

1) Socio Economic Impact ii) It is suggested that a team is formed by the mine management which will be re-
sponsible for the proper and regular filling of surface cracks developed due to
Resettlement/Rehabilitation subsidence. The team will also maintain record of the development and filling of
surface cracks. Adequate supply of filling materials should be arranged by mine
The project involves no rehabilitation and resettlement. management at the site.

Secondary Employment opportunities
There will be spontaneous economic stimulus in the area with the commencement
of underground mine. Traders and private enterprises will grow in the area with this
economic growth. Besides, the State exchequer will derive financial revenues
through levy of royalty, sales tax etc. and Central Government will also be
benefited by way of Central Sales Tax, Income Tax, Cess‘s etc.
Educational Facilities
iii) It is suggested that a time lag of about 5 years should be maintained between
extractions of successive panels in superimposition, except the contiguous
workings. This will allow the super-incumbent strata to consolidate and settle
before the extraction of lower seam. With this time lag in multiple seam extrac-
tion, depressions on the surface will take place in steps and after long intervals
of time, and as a result reduced amount of slope and strain will develop on the
surface. Hence, it is not expected to have adverse impact on the forest. Only a
limited number of trees located on the edges of subsidence trough and surface
cracks may get tilted.

A total of 84 villages fall in the study area, which have 123 primary schools, 84
middle schools , 11 secondary schools & 05 Sr. secondary schools and 5 colleg-
es.
Medical Facilities
There are 21 Maternity & Child Welfare Centres and 11 Community Health
Workers(CHW) within the study area managed by the State Govt. However, such
iv) Provision has to be made for compensatory afforestation and strengthening of
forest cover to take care of losses, if any.
v) Subsidence may result in depressions on the surface with accumulation of water
during the rains. Such accumulation of water may be beneficial for vegetation in
the forest. These water bodies may be retained wherever possible or filled
up/drained out by cutting drains depending on safety of the underground work-
ings.

XI - 16 - XI - 17 -
 EIA / EMP for Nawapara UGP
vi) Surface drains should be made outside of the subsidence influence area to pre
vent the surface water of adjoining area from coming into active subsidence ar-
ea.
vii) Coal pillars are to be left un-extracted vertically below and within subsidence in-
fluence area from the surface features which are required to be protected from
subsidence damages.
viii) Considering the make of water in small seasonal streamlets existing over the
mining area, due care has to be undertaken while extraction is made below the-
se streamlets such as avoiding extraction during monsoon and filling up cracks
developed in the bed of the streamlets, when dry. However, if it is required to
keep these streamlets totally out of subsidence influence area, coal pillars
should be left un-extracted vertically below and within angle of draw from the
streamlet, i.e. within 300 angle of draw for single seam extraction and 350 angle
of draw for multiple seam extraction.
ix) Tenancy/agriculture land over the mining area is likely to be affected by subsid-
ence. Thus, crop compensation has to be paid to the tenancy/agriculture land
owners during the year when depillaring operation is carried out in the panels
below it and subsequent reclamation by filling and consolidation of the land.
3) Impact on environmentAir environment:- Air quality in respect of SPM, RPM,
(PM10, PM2.5),SO2 & NOx within and around the project area are found to be within the
prescribed limits of MOEF. These parameters may increase their values if proper
mitigative measures are not taken care of. Increase in the value of SPM, RPM, SO2
& NOx beyond the prescribed limits may cause pulmonary infections like
neumoconiosis , silicosis etc, irritation of eyes , poor visibility etc.
Water environment : - Untreated mine water , workshop & domestic effluent could
cause pollution to surface & ground water courses with excess of Suspended solids ,
Oil & Grease , COD and BOD, Dissolved solids, Sulphates , Chlorides , Bacterial
contamination leading to serious problems to aquatic life & human health hazard.
Noise environment: - The impact of continued exposure of higher noise levels on
humans and fauna are as follows:
* Annoyance and irritation
* Mental and Physical fatigue
* Interference in normal activities.
* Health hazards resulting from impaired hearing
* In extreme cases, cardio-vascular diseases etc.
* Task interference.
* Interference with communication i.e. masking.
* Hypertension and higher blood cholesterol.
Flora & Fauna: - There are following identified impacts on flora & fauna . B) Secondary Employment opportunities
Development of mine infrastructures, service & allied structures, colony, roads,
drains, culverts, etc, and any other mining activity is going to directly or indirectly af-
XI - 18 -
EIA / EMP for Nawapara UGP
fect the flora & fauna of the area. As the project is an underground one, hence impact
on flora and fauna will not be of stark appreciable level.
No forests are going to be affected due to underground mining. Due to transportation
of coal, air pollution can affect photosynthesis and transpiration in plants. SO 2 can
cause Necrosis disease in plants.
4) Impact on meteorology
Meteorological data for the last few decades have been collected from nearest IMD
station at Ambikapur and CWC at Manendragarh . The average annual rainfall
recorded is about 1445 mm. Maximum rainfall is received during monsoon months of
June to September. Looking into general trend of rainfall, differences are within
normal cyclic pattern and cannot be attributed to mining activity in the area.
5) Hydrogeological aspect
As mentioned earlier, because of the low permeability of aquifers, the impact of min-
ing on local water regime will be marginal and the radius of influence will be limited to
a small distance. So also, due to stratification, the individual permeable beds develop
individual drawdown cones and the impact is usually limited to few hundred meters.
6) Hazard assessment :-
A) Impact of Inundation
In the project no inundation has been reported, hence impact of inundation is not as-
sessed.
B)Impact of Coal Fires
In the project no Coal Fires either in the face or in the stockpile of coal has been re-
ported, hence impact of Coal Fires is not assessed.
The details of environmental impact assessment have been given in CHAPTER IV.
11.4.2 Environmental Control Measures
1)Socio Economic Measures :
A) Resettlement/Rehabilitation:
The project is an underground involves no rehabilitation and resettlement. Due to ac-
quisition of tenancy land for surface infrastructures suitable compensation will be giv-
en to land owners.
There will be spontaneous economic stimulus in the area with the commencement of
underground mine. Traders and private enterprises will grow in the area with this

economic growth. Besides, the State exchequer will derive financial revenues
through levy of royalty, sales tax etc. and Central Government will also be benefited
by way of Central Sales Tax, Income Tax, Cess‘s etc.
C) Educational Facilities
A total of 84 villages fall in the study area, which have 122 primary schools, 66
middle schools , 11 secondary schools &.05 Sr. secondary schools and 5 colleges.
.
D) Medical Facilities
There are 21 Maternity & Child Welfare Centres and 11 Community Health
Workers(CHW) within the study area managed by the State Govt. However, such
facilities are required to be increased by the project for their workers and the people
of the area.
Every worker shall be periodically checked up once in every five years keeping
proper record of their health profile including X-ray and laboratory tests by
establishing and extending pathological facilities. The importance of such periodical
medical examination is to detect and prevent occupational diseases like
Pneumoconiosis and Tuberculosis. The mining activities expose workers to some
injuries and health hazards.
. mass of overlying strata, geo-mining conditions and subsidence data observed in the
Preventive measures:-
The SECL authorities have adopted following measures to prevent
occupational diseases and health hazards.
* Pre-employment, pre-placement and periodic medical examination
employees.
* Regular monitoring of working environment and implementation of safety and
control measures, to prevent hazards.
* Use of protective equipments, clothing, helmets, Gas mask, shoes, etc.
* Periodical medical examination of every worker is done once in five years
to detect preventable and curable diseases at an early stage.
* Cases suspected having Pneumoconiosis are examined by a Special Board
constituted by the Chief Medical Officer. Established cases are suitably
compensated and their job is changed if required.
E) Literacy Drive :
An action plan for achieving 100% literacy among workers in the SECL, was
launched in the year 1992. Under the same scheme, workers of Nawapara UG
project will be covered to achieve 100% literacy level.
XI - 20 -
EIA / EMP for Nawapara UGP
2) Land Restoration
Subsidence Management :
The subsidence prediction model based on Influence Function method, developed in
CMPDI, has been used for estimation of likely subsidence over the mining area.
Subsidence prediction has been done for the panels proposed to be extracted by
caving method in mine projection plans of seams As per project report, the minimum
and maximum thicknesses of extraction have been considered to be 1.5m and 2.7m
of the seams respectively. Input data used for subsidence prediction, such as mining
parameters, geology, panels dimension, sequence of extraction of the panels and
surface features have been collected from project report.
Details of mine layout, surface contours, surface features, forest and other relevant
features have been digitised from surface plan and mine projection plan of Pasang
seam. The digitised data have been used as input parameters for subsidence
prediction model.
Since no measured data are available regarding subsidence parameters of the mine
and nearby mines, the values of subsidence factor, angle of draw and non-effective
width of the panels for single seam extraction have been taken considering the rock
neighbouring coalfields having similar geo-mining conditions.
The parameters taken for subsidence prediction are as follows
of i) Subsidence factor : 0.4 for Pasang Seam
ii) Angle of draw : 300 for single seam extraction
iii) Anticipated percentage : 80%
of extraction in panels
iv) Depth : Average depth for each panel or part of the panel where depth varies
significantly within the panel.
v) Thickness of extraction : Average thickness of the seam for each panel or
part thereof. Minimum 1.50m and maximum 3.0m full thickness of the seam.
Before subsidence prediction, the prediction model has been calibrated according to
the above mentioned subsidence parameters. For subsidence calculation,
underground extraction area has been divided into 10m x 10m grid blocks as
individual elements.
The numerical procedure followed for prediction involves estimation of subsidence at
the grid points of each element and subsequent integration to arrive at resultant
values and the final area influenced by ground movement. Subsidence has been
calculated over 18343 points.

3) Air pollution control measures :
Following air pollution control measures is being practiced within the mining area and at
coal handling plant:
(i) Dust suppression in Coal Handling Plant & near Coal loading point.
(ii) Mobile water sprinkler is being deployed.
(iii) Coal transportation and service roads are totally black- topped;
(iv) Plantation along coal transportation roads, infrastructures etc..
All these measures indicated above will continue to be maintained so that the ad-
verse impacts on ambient air and noise become insignificant.
4) Water pollution control measures :
For complying the statutory provision of MOEF and Pollution Control Board, water
quality will be monitored and evaluated. The corrective -measures will be taken on
the basis of monitoring results. The pre-mining water quality from the area indicates
that there is no pollution.
The following measures are suggested to control the water pollution (if any).
i) Mine Water Discharge
The mine water is collected in settling tanks and after sedimentation, clear water is
re-used for domestic & industrial purpose. Besides, sufficient standby capacity will be
provided in the main sump, so that the suspended solids generated due to workings
are settled down and clean water is treated & used.
5) Noise pollution control measures:
To minimise anticipated noise pollution, following control measures are implemented.
i. Planting of rows of trees with thick foliage along roads and other noise generating
centres to act as acoustic barriers.
ii.Isolating/enclosing the noisy machines/sources by using resilient mounting/altering
structures.
iii Routine maintenance schedules for machineries to eliminate noise as far as
possible.
Iv Balanced and properly aligned conditioning of machines to reduce vibration.
v Provision of ear muffs/ear plugs to workers subjected to noise level above
recommended limits.
vi Controlled blasting.
XI - 22 -
EIA / EMP for Nawapara UGP
vi Regular monitoring of noise level of project area.
6) Blasting Vibration Control Plan
The following factors will be given special attention to minimise effects of blasting:
* Charge per delay
* Charge per round
* Over charging will be avoided.
* Distance from the structures (Scaled distance)
* Type of initiation & sequence of delay
* Stemming material used will be moist.
* Blasting time (safety aspect). The blasting will be done at a fixed time as far as
possible.
* Warning Before blasting is carried out; warning sound will be given so that
people can move to safe place.
7) Green Belt Development
i Around the mine and infrastructures.
ii Along approach roads.
iii In and around the colony.
Iv Subsidence cracks above depillaring panels.
The details of environmental control measures have been given in CHAPTER IV.
11.5 ANALYSIS OF ALERNATIVES
Considering the geo-mining characteristics of each of the seams and the mine, the
following technological options are available :
A.Semi-mechanised (Intermediate Technology) Bord & Pillar (B&P) method
with SDLs (existing method)
This system of mining is suitable for seam characteristics with seam thickness vary-
ing from 1.5m to 4.5m, at relatively low depth of cover and seam gradient of less than
1 in 6. The system of mining is very flexible and can be suitably adjusted in case of
change / variation in faults / geological structures.
At Nawapara UG, the thickness of the seams under consideration (UPP, L2, MT &
L1) varies from less than 1.5m to about 3.42m at a depth of around 18m to about
130m having flatter gradient of less than 1 in 10. Hence, it is proposed for devel-
opment and final extraction of the panels in different seams by B&P method
with SDLs/LHD. Moreover, abrupt variation of thickness / pinching of seam, which
may be encountered often, can be easily negotiated.
XI - 23 -
 EIA / EMP for Nawapara UGP
B. Mass Production Technology
The Mass Production Technologies (MPT) are basically non-blasting technology in-
volving cutting/shearing of coal with faster rate of extraction, thereby has a faster rate
of advance. In Mass Production Technologies, two options are available :
(i)Continuous Miner (CM) Technology : The Continuous Miner technology is gen-
erally suitable for moderate seam thickness (generally >2.5m) & mild gradient of coal
seams. The method may be applicable where adequate reserves with moderate to
higher grade of coal (D & above) is available and large area is free from major geo-
logical disturbances. The method is very flexible in system of mining & operation to
adapt to the nature of deposit. Presently, Continuous Miners are available for extract-
ing seam thickness up to 4.5m and has found application in CIL mines. Hence, this
system of mining will not be applicable at present till thin seam continuous miner is
available.
(ii)Powered Support Longwall (PSLW) technology : PSLW technology is generally
suitable where comparatively large area is free from geological disturbances and
long panels can be made for final extraction, as the method is highly inflexible. The
property should not have large and abrupt variation in seam thickness and the seam
has superior grade of coal. Besides, as the method involves cutting/shearing (no
blasting) and the rate of extraction is very high, it ensures better percentage of ex-
traction, ease of management and is more safe.
The conditions for application of PSLW are not available.
Accordingly, it is proposed to continue with existing B&P method with SDLs in
UPP as well as other overlying seams based on the geo-mining conditions and
previous experience and success of B&P method in existing Nawapara UG &
adjoining mines for development & depillaring of panels.
11.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

means an unexpected and sudden occurrence of event from abnormal
developments in course of one's industrial activity leading to a serious danger
to public or environment, whether immediate or delayed, inside or outside the
installation involving one or more hazardous substances.
Keeping in view the three basic principles i.e. prevention, preparedness (both
pro-active and reactive) and mitigation of effect through rescue, recovery, relief
and rehabilitation; a comprehensive blue print of risk assessment and
management plan has been prepared for Nawapara UGP incorporating the
following :
* Identification and assessment of risks

Regionally, Mahan and Rehar Rivers with their tributaries control the drainage of
Bisrampur coalfield. The Nawapara UG mine area, falls within the catchment of
Pasang nala, a tributary of Rehar River, flowing in east-west direction close to the
southern mine boundary. The other prominent drainage, draining through
metamorphics, Kokhaniya nala is also flowing in east-west direction and drains
through the southern most part of the study area. As such, the Nawapara UG
located on a high ground/ surface water divide and no nala/stream is draining over
the mine area. The drainage in the area is mostly dendritic and controlled by
topography.
sandwiched with shale and coal beds. Due to sedimentation/ stratification multiple
aquifer system prevails. The strike trend resembles an open bowl with deeper area
in the northern part. The aquifer system dips, 1.50 - 30, towards northerly. Out of
the 9 coal seams developed in the coal block, only Pasang seam is suitable and
selected for underground mining. Only one major fault, extending roughly parallel
to the western block boundary, with a throw of 2m to 40m, is observed and
influences the groundwater flow. The various hydrogeological units developed in
the project area are as follow:

The Project area, is covered by Barakar formation, comprises of soil cover and
sandstone of different grain sizes with shale beds and coal seams. The Barakars,
comprising medium to very coarse grained sandstone with number of intervening
gritty pebbly (conglomerate) horizons are saturated and behave as aquifers.
Whereas, the shale beds and coal seams behave as aquiclude. Due to stratification
and with the presence of aquiclude (shale/coal), a multi-aquifer system developed.
The Barakar formation has a wide variation in thickness from 45m to 304m
depending on the basement configuration.
The thickness of weathered zone varying from 8.00m to 46.5.00m, behaves as
phreatic and most potential aquifer. The lower aquifers, due to compaction, are
The aquifer units present in Barakar sandstone are sandwiched with shale and coal
beds. Due to sedimentation/ stratification multiple aquifer system prevails. Masan
seam is developed only in the eastern part of the coal block. The upper horizon is
weathered upto an average depth of 25m and behaves as unconfined aquifer. Thus,
the formation lying above Dhejgar seam as well as the weathered formation above
Pasang seam in the in-crop region, behaves as unconfined aquifer. The lower
hydrogeological units are semi-confined to confine in nature. The development of
younger coal seams (L2, Masan, and Dhejagir seams) in the roof behaves as
aquiclude and restricts the connection between the phreatic aquifer and the lower
confining aquifer units. (Fig. 2 & 3). With sufficient recharge and recirculation of

Rainfall Pre-Monsoon Post-Monsoon During mine development, the sandstone beds existing in the roof of the Pasang
seam (working coal seam of Nawapara UG project) will be the major source for
inflow into the mine. The development of younger coal seams (L-2 and Masan and
Dhejagir seams) in the roof behaves as aquiclude and restricts the connection
between the phreatic aquifer and the lower confining aquifers. The aquifer lying in
the immediate vicinity of mine workings only largely drained.

3.3.4.1 Mine water inflow rate:
Total 14,092 9 675

With the conventional methodology, as per RPR, the peak mine water inflow into
Nawapara UG was predicted as 18,394 cum/day. However, during development,
usually the inflow would be smaller. But with the presence of loose pockets in the
overlying aquifer units, the inflow became highly unpredictable and mostly a
localized phenomenon. To discharge the above inflow in a stipulated time period,
suitable sumps with desired pumping capacity of 284 lps has been provided. At
present the mine is under early stage of mine development.
The mine water has been discharged onto local drainage or agriculture fields, only
after passing through the sumps and sedimentation tanks. Thus, no quality
degradation is anticipated. The mine discharge will also be utilized to meet the
mine’s domestic/industrial and dust suppression needs.
3.3.4.2 Disposal of Mine water:
With the presence of rich aquifer system and groundwater recharge potential, the
mine water discharge of Nawapara UG, compared with the other nearby mines is
very high and is considered as a watery mine. To meet the safety of the mine and
create good working conditions, it is necessary to discharge the mine water
collection onto surface.
To collect the mine water, underground sumps of desired capacity, at selected
locations, have been provided. To discharge the water on to surface, these sumps
with adequate number of pumps with desired head are installed. To discharge mine
water collection from working face (i.e. at 0, 1 and 2 Dips and 4 Level) to the
above sumps, three pumps, @23 lps and 30m head, are operating. The details of
Thus, the total holding capacity of these sumps is about 14,092 m3 (i.e. 3.10
million gallons) and the sumps are interconnected. These sumps also behave as
primary settling tanks for the mine water. Thereby, the suspended solids, the
major contaminant added to the mine water inflow, would settle and often clean
water will be discharged onto surface. Of these, 4 pumps from -3L/-8R sump and
0L/0 Dip sump discharge mine water to surface either through incline-1 mouth or
through surface borehole connected at -2R/-3L. The capacity of these sump pumps
is 1000 gpm each.
As informed by the mine’s manager, during non-monsoon period these pumps
operate for about 14 Hrs/day. During monsoon period, these pumps operate for
about 18 Hrs/day. The efficiency of these pumps is considered as about 60%.
Thus, an average 10,024 cum/day (i.e. 3.66 M.Cum/yr) mine water is discharged
on to surface. On surface, after passing through the settling tanks, the mine water
has been discharged onto local land/drainage. Hence, no quality degradation of
mine water is anticipated. Of this about 70 cum/day has been utilized for mine’s
industrial and dust suppression use. The balance has been gainfully utilized by the
local public for irrigation use.

respectively. Thus, the balance available annual ground water resource in the study

(a) Impact on Topography & Drainage: Subsidence due to total extraction
of coal causes changes in topography and drainage by developing micro basins,
subsidence fractures, ridges, pot holes etc. This alters the drainage of the area in
micro level. As such no nala is draining through the mine area. Only a pond is
located in the mine area. Care shall be taken, to leave enough pillars in
underground as barriers, to avoid any damage to surface topography or water
bodies. In deeper underground mines, the subsidence is barely noticeable on the
surface.

However, in down dip and east, with the presence of younger seams and recharge
from mine water, the zone of influence will be negligible to small. The water
levels in villages, located beyond probable impact zone, maintain normal
fluctuations. With very high bore wells’ density, most of the dug wells in these
villages are getting dry. With continuous mine discharge for irrigation use, the
agricultural fields located towards east are getting benefited and the return flow is
helping in restoration of disturbed water levels. So also, the project authorities
have created sufficient resource potential to the local community in the affected
area.
 The construction of surface tanks and desiltation/deepening of existing ponds
in the local villages would enhance the water availability in the nearby villages.
Utilization of mine water for irrigation use will also enhance the ground water
recharge potential through artificial recharge in the area. Thereby, in post-
mining condition, the recharge and source potential in core zone will be much
higher than the existing.
 Hand pumps/dug wells have been provided in the nearby problematic villages
under the community development.

d. Impact on Groundwater Quality: The groundwater chemistry indicates that

the groundwater in the area is potable and does not contain any toxic elements.
The underground mining activity does not induce any unwanted chemicals or
elements into the groundwater affecting the water chemistry except. With the
movement of mine equipment, the only serious observed contamination is Total
Suspended Solids (TSS). With the provision of sufficient sump capacity, which act
as primary settling tanks, the quality is improved significantly.
To reduce TSS further, the mine water would be discharged only after passing through the
sedimentation tanks constructed on surface. The quality of mine discharge, surface waters
and drinking water in the area has been regularly monitored by reputed organization and
found to be within the permissible limits of stipulated standards. The analysis reports are
3.3.9 Future strategy:
 To assess the impact on local water levels, in time and space, a monitoring net
work of dug wells will be established and the groundwater levels will be
monitored periodically.
 For observing the impact on deeper aquifers close to the mine area, shallow
and deeper piezometers are constructed close to the mine. The water levels in
these piezometers shall also be monitored. The locations of these piezometers
were selected in consultation with Central Ground Water Board, Raipur.

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The existing Nawapara U/G Mine is located in toposheet of GSI 64M / III
, 64M / IV and bounded by latitude 23 20’ 00”,23 14’53”N and longitude
83 04’23”& 83 05 53” The area falls in Surguja district of Chattisgarh
State.It is in Sendurpara Geological Block of Bisrampur Coalfields of
Bhatgaon area of South Eastern Coalfields Limited. Its Revenue
Development Block or Tehsil is Surajpurr. The address of the Projects is
P.O. Nawapara, Bhatgaon area, District- Sarguja (C.G).Refer to Location
Plan, Fig -1.

The nearest rail head is Bishrampur of SEC Railway and is located about
25 km from the project.
FIXED SPRINKLER ON COAL LOADING POINT SITE Ambikapur - Varanasi state highway is 500eters from the Nawapara
project. Ambikapur is about 35 km east of the project.

The nearest meteorological observatory is at Ambikapur. The climate of

this area is sub-tropical one with three main seasons. Season during
April to June is the summer with temperature rising to maximum 44 oC in
the month of May. July to September is the monsoon season with an
average rainfall of 1456 mm. Winter is short and temperature during this
season dips to 1.8oC in the month of December. Relative humidity during
winter ranges from 24 % to 78 %.

1.01 GEOLOGY
Within the workable part of the area only 3 seams viz., Dhejagir(Top),
Local 2 and Pasang attain workable thckness (>0.9 m) in a sizeable area
of the geologicalBlock. Due to poor grade of Dhejagir (Top) and patchy
deposition of L-2 seam, only Pasang seam is considered for mining in this
project.

1.02 FAULT AND THROW

Fault & throw of pasang seam is 2m to 40m and the strike of the fault
envisaged is N10W-S 10E in the northern part and swerves to
N10 E-S 10 W in the southern part with local undulations

HYDROGEOLOGY COMPOSITION OF FLORA AND FAUNA.

Year-wise static water levels, as inferred from the ground water level
study of last 17 years (1991 – 2008) at Hydrograph Stations during pre
and post-monsoon as recorded by Ground Water Survey Unit, Irrigation
Department, 7.34 m (pre-monsoon average). and 4.07m (post-monsoon
average). The average fluctuation in GWL observed from the data of
permanent observation wells is about 4.72 m.
Rainfall is the principal source of recharge. The calculation of the
ground water recharge has been done based on the GEC norms for
rainfall infiltration index as 11.5% and for water level fluctuation method
assuming specified yield as 8% for hard rocks. Based on the rainfall
infiltration method the recharge works out to 60.15 M.cu.m. Discharge of
the area works out to 16.55 M.cu.m. From this it is seen that the surplus
water available in the area is 22.74 M.cu.m.
In the study area, the forest cover is 4152 ha, which is only 10.84 %.The
flora and fauna presented is based on the field survey and discussions
held with the local forest officials up to grass root level regarding
availability of flora and fauna in buffer zone of the proposed project.
II. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & MITIGATION
MEASURES
SOCIO ECONOMIC IMPACT
The project will have on the whole a positive impact on socio-economic
profile of the area due to increase in employment opportunities, trade
and business, community development, improved communication link
etc.

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY IMPACT ON LAND USE

IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT
Air environment:- Air quality in respect of SPM, RPM, SO2 & NOx within
and around the project area are found to be within the prescribed limits
of MOEF. These parameters may increase their values if proper mitigative
measures are not taken care of may cause pulmonary infections like
neumoconiosis , silicosis etc, irritation of eyes , poor visibility etc.
Water environment : - Untreated mine water , Workshop & Domestic
effluent water could cause pollution to surface & ground water courses
with excess of Suspended solids , Oil & Grease , COD and BOD,
Dissolved solids , Sulphates , Chlorides , Bacterial contamination leading
to serious problems to acquatic life & human health hazard.
Lowering of ground water table are the likely impacts on surface &
ground water courses leading to water scarcity in the area..
Noise environment :- The impact of continued exposure of higher noise
levels on humans and fauna are as follows:
* Annoyance and irritation
* Mental and Physical fatigue
* Interference in normal activities.
* Health hazards resulting from impaired hearing
* In extreme cases, cardio-vascular diseases etc.
* Task interference.
* Interference with communication i.e masking.
* Hypertension and higher blood cholesterol.
FLORA & FAUNA :- There are following identified impacts on flora &
fauna
There will not be any adverse effect on the existing habitat due to
underground mining operations at greater depth. . However, some
indirect impact due to developmental activity and population growth is
expected which will be controlled by adopting strict protective measures
by area authorities.
HYDROGEOLOGICAL ASPECT : - As mentioned earlier, because of the
low permeability of aquifers, the impact of mining on local water regime
will be marginal and the radius of influence will be limited to a small
distance. So also, due to stratification, the individual permeable beds
develop individual drawdown cones and the impact is usually limited to
few hundred meters.
PHD-6
Public Hearing Document for Nawapara-UGP
IV ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
The implementation and monitoring of pollution control measures and for
overall environmental management, environmental cell at the area and
Corporate level will take all necessary care. It will look after the following
aspects of environmental management.
* Generation of environmental data bank.
* Evolving micro environmental management plan for the project in
collaboration with other agencies and consultants.
* Monitoring project implementation along with environmental
control measures.
* Co-ordinate with other project activities to ensure timely
implementation of the project.
* Co-ordination with Ministry of Environment & Forest, Central/State
Pollution Control Board for prevention and control of water and air
pollution.
V ADDITIONAL STUDIES
PUBLIC CONSULTATION
To ascertain the concern of local affected and others who have a
plausible stake in environmental impacts of the project / activity public
consultation will be done at project site or close proximity for local
affected persons.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Assessment of risk and its management is essential to guard against and
mitigate the consequences of major accidents. The term, " major accident"
means an unexpected and sudden occurrence of event from abnormal
developments in course of one's industrial activity leading to a serious
danger to public or environment, whether immediate or delayed, inside or
outside the installation involving one or more hazardous substances.
VI PROJECT BENEFITS
IMPROVEMENT IN THE SOCIAL INTRASTRUCTURES:
a) Literacy Drive :
An action plan for achieving 100% literacy among workers in the SECL,
was launched in the year 1992. Under the same scheme, workers of
Kalyani and Shivani UG project will be covered to achieve 100% literacy

b) Secondary Employment opportunities within the limit prescribed by MOEF/CPCB standard.

There will be spontaneous economic stimulus in the area with the
commencement of the mine. Traders and private enterprises will grow in
the area with this economic growth. Besides, the State exchequer will
derive financial revenues through levy of royalty, sales tax etc. and
Central Government will also be benefited by way of Central Sales Tax,
Income Tax, Cess‘s etc.
However, 3.0 lakh gallon capacity mine sump to arrest suspended solids
from mine water has already been provided. For sewage treatment,
provision has been also been made by provided settling tank of 6.5 lakh
gallon capacity. It is expected that final discharge if any will comply the
statutory limits.

VII ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

COMPENSATION
Important surface features within core zone will not be affected since, no
depillaring operation will be undertaken, and developed pillars will be left
standing after isolating them. Crop compensation would be paid during
the period when depillaring of panels damage tenancy land at surface
due to subsidence.
RECLAMATION
Subsided land and cracks would be filled with soil to maintain the
original topography of the area.
AIR QUALITY CONTRON MEASURES
Considering anticipated effect on air quality due to mining operations,
following control measures have been Envisaged for the project.
CONTROL MEASURE FOR NOISE LEVEL
Green belt development and other control measures are recommended
to keep the noise levels within permissible limits.
To minimise anticipated noise pollution, following control measures are
envisaged.
 Provision of earplugs, earmuffs as and when required.
 Routine maintenance of equipment.
 Location of colony at sufficient distance from mine.
 Green belt around colony and industrial complex.
FLORA & FAUNA
There will not be any adverse effect on the existing habitat due to
underground mining operations at greater depth. However, some indirect
impact due to developmental activity and population growth is expected
which will be controlled by adopting strict protective measures by area
authorities
