1.0 Background

1.1 Land is the most important natural resource which embodies soil, water, flora, fauna and

total ecosystem. All human activities are based on the land which is the most scarce

natural resource in our country. Mining is a site specific industry and it could not be shifted

anywhere else from the location where mineral occurs. It is a fact that surface mining

activities do effect the land environment due to ground breaking. Therefore, there is an

urgent need to reclaim and restore the mined out land for its productive use for sustainable

development of mining. This will not only mitigate environmental degradation, but would

also help in creating a more congenial environment for land acquisition by coal companies

in future.

1.2 Keeping above in view, Coal India Ltd. (CIL) issued a work order vide letter no.

CIL/WBP/Env/2009/2428 dated 29.12.2009 to Central Mine Planning & Design Institute

(CMPDI), Ranchi, for monitoring land reclamation. status of all the opencast coal mines

having production of more than 5 million m3 per annum (coal + OB) taken together per

annum) based on remote sensing satellite data, regularly on annual basis for sustainable

development of mining. Further, another work order vide letter no.

CIL/WBP/ENV./2011/3687dated23/08/11 was issued by CIL for monitoring of less than 5

million m3 per annum capacity (Coal +OB) projects from the year 2011 at interval of three

years. The result of land reclamation status of all such mines to be put on the website of

CIL, (www.coalindia.in), CMPDI (www.cmpdi.co.in) and the concerned coal companies in

public domain. Detail report to be submitted to Coal India and respective subsidiaries.

1.3 Land reclamation monitoring of all opencast coal mining projects would also comply the

statutory requirements of Ministry of Environment & Forest (MoEF).Such monitoring would not

only facilitate in taking timely mitigation measures against environmental degradation but would

also enable coal companies to utilize the reclaimed land for larger socio-economic benefits in a

planned way.

1.4 Present report is embodying the finding of the study based on satellite data of the year 2011

carried out for fourteen OC projects producing less than 5million cu.m. (coal+OB) of Western

Coalfield Ltd.

2.0 Objective Objective of the land reclamation/restoration monitoring is to assess the area of backfilled,

plantation, OB dumps, social forestry, active mining area, settlements and water bodies,

distribution of wasteland, agricultural land and forest land in the leasehold area of the

project. This is an important step taken up for assessing the progressive status of mined

land reclamation and for taking up remedial measures, if any, required for environmental

protection.

3.0 Methodology

There are number of steps involved between raw satellite data procurement and

preparation of final map. National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) Hyderabad, being the

nodal agency for satellite data supply in India, provides only raw digital satellite data, which

needs further digital image processing for extracting the information and map preparation

before uploading the same in the website. Methodology for land reclamation monitoring is

given in given in Fig 2. Following steps are involved in land reclamation /restoration

monitoring

Page 11: 4.0 Land Reclamation Status in Western Coalfield Limited

CMPDI

Job No 564408028/(WCL) 3

3.1 Data Procurement: After browsing the data quality and date of pass on internet, supply

order for data is placed to NRSC. Secondary data like leasehold boundary, topo sheets are

procured for creation of vector database.

3.2 Satellite Data Processing: Satellite data are processed using PCI GEOMATICA /

ERDAS IMAGINE digital image processing s/w. Methodology involves the following major

steps.

Rectification & Geo-referencing:Inaccuracies in digital imagery may occur due to

systematic errors’ attributed to earth curvature and rotation as well as ‘non-

systematic errors’ attributed to satellite receiving station itself. Raw digital images

contain geometric distortions, which make them unusable as maps. Therefore,

Page 12: 4.0 Land Reclamation Status in Western Coalfield Limited

CMPDI

Job No 564408028/(WCL) 4

geo- referencing is required for correction of image data using ground control

points (GCP) to make it compatible to SoI topo sheet.

• Image enhancement:

To improve the interpretability of the raw data, image enhancement is necessary.

Local operations modify the value of each pixel based on brightness value of

neighbouring pixels using PCI Geomatica / ERDAS IMAGINE 9.3 s/w. and enhance

the image quality for interpretation.

• Training set selection

Training set requires to be selected, so that software can classify the image data

accurately. The image data are analysed based on the interpretation keys. These

keys are evolved from certain fundamental image-elements such as tone/colour,

size, shape, texture, pattern, location, association and shadow. Based on the image-

elements and other geo-technical elements like land form, drainage pattern and

physiography; training sets were selected/identified for each land use/cover class.

Field survey was carried out by taking selective traverses in order to collect the

ground information (or reference data) so that training sets are selected accurately in

the image. This was intended to serve as an aid for classification.

• Classification and Accuracy Assessment

Image classification is carried out using the maximum l ikelihood algorithm.The classification proceeds through the following steps: (a )calculation ofstatistics [i.e. signature generation] for the identified training areas, and(b) the decision boundary of maximum probability based on the mean vector, variance, covariance and correlation matrix of the pixels. After evaluating the statistical parameters of the training sets, reliability test of training sets is conducted by measuring the statistical separation between the classes that resulted from computing divergence matrix. The overall accuracy of the classification was finally assessed with reference to ground truth data.

• Area calculation

The area of each land use class in the leasehold is determined using PCI Geomatica

v10.1 / ERDAS IMAGINE v. 9.3 software.

• Overlay of Vector data base

Vector data base created based on secondary data. Vector layer like drainage,

railway line, leasehold boundary, forest boundary etc. are superimposed on the

image as vector layer in the Arc GIS database.

• Pre-field map preparation

Pre-field map is prepared for validation of the classification result

3.3 Ground Truthing:

Selective ground verification of the land use classes are carried out in the field and

necessary corrections if required, are incorporated before map finalization.

3.4 Land reclamation database on GIS:

Land reclamation database is created on GIS platform to identify the temporal changes identified from satellite data of different cut-off dates for these proj
