CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION


2/I

The mining industry is a major force in a nation’s economy, occupying a

primary position at the start of the resource supply chain. To date, it

appears that the main constraints to sustainability in the mining sector

derive from the ever-increasing demand for mined resources, the

consumption of resources and the increasing pollution generated by the

extraction process. Therefore a sustainable development of the area

involving extraction of mineral wealth vis-à-vis protection of environment

is the ultimate solution for betterment of Mankind and Earth.

1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

Environment Impact Assessment is a decision-making tool, which guides the

decision makers in taking appropriate decisions for proposed projects. It

aims predicting environmental impacts at an early stage of project planning

and design, find ways and means to reduce adverse impacts, shape projects

to suit the local environment and present the predictions and options to

decision makers. The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change,

Govt. of India, made Environmental Clearance (EC) for certain development

projects mandatory through its notification of 27/01/1994 under the

Environment Protection Act, 1986. Keeping in view of the experience gained

in environmental clearance process over a period of one decade, the MoEF &

CC came out with Environment Impact Notification, SO 1533(E), and

dt.14/09/2006. It has been made mandatory to obtain environmental

clearance for different kinds of developmental projects such as green field,

expansion, modernization or renovation of existing projects. The conditions

are applicable as per the MoEF&CC guidelines and EIA notifications issued

and amended time to time.

1.1 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

The present Environmental Impact Assessment report is prepared to comply

with the Terms of Reference (TOR) received from EAC MoEF & CC, GOI

under EIA notification of the MoEF dated 14th September, 2006 as

amended and also the EIA Technical Manual for Mining of Minerals (Feb,

2010) of MoEF, Govt.of India, for seeking environmental clearance for

CHAPTER-II

PROJECT DESCRIPTION


2/II

2.0 TYPE OF PROJECT

The project is proposed for the excavation of Boulder, Gravel and Sand

from the dry portion of bed of River Yamuna. It is an opencast semi-

mechanized mining project to excavate minerals in their existing form.

2.1 NEED FOR THE PROJECT

River channels and their floodplains are important sources of

construction grade aggregate materials like sand and gravel. The

durability of river-borne coarser clastics and their sorting by fluvial action

make them best suitable raw materials / ingredients for building

constructions (Kondolf et al., 2002). The market demand of river sand is

high throughout the country.

The project lies on dry portion of river bed of Yamuna. Sand bars have

been formed at various places hindering the flow of water and excess

deposition had changed the shape of the river bed. Because of this,

during monsoon season, the water may rise above the high flood level

causing heavy and devastating floods. Such disasters may damage large

tracts of land lying on both the banks of the river especially the

agricultural lands. Hence, it is necessary to remove the materials so that

the river gets channelized.

Apart from this the project will also serve the following:

• Generate various employment opportunities especially to the local

people hosting the mining project.

• Economic development of the state by contributing to state exchequer.

TOPOGRAPHY & GEOLOGY

Topography

Yamuna Nagar district of Haryana located in north-eastern part of

Haryana State. The district is bounded, in north by Himachal Pradesh, in

the east by Uttar Pradesh, in west by Ambala district, in south by Karnal

and Kurukshetra districts. Total geographical area of the district is 1756

sq.km and comprises 4% of total area of State.

The district is mainly drained by the rivers Yamuna, Markanda and its

tributaries. Markanda is tributary of river Ghaggar and drains major part


3/II

of the district. The high land between Markanda River and small rivulets

of River Yamuna acts as basin boundary between west flowing rivers of

Indus system and east flowing Rivers of Ganga basin. River Yamuna

drains eastern part of the district and acts as boundary between Haryana

and Uttar Pradesh State.

Yamuna Nagar district is bestowed with rich water resources, both

surface as well as ground water resources. The ground water is major

sources of irrigation in the district. Nearly 40% of area is irrigated by

canal water. Distributaries in the district are 21.45 km long. Two major

canals passing through the district are Western Yamuna Canal and

augmentation canal. Length of unlined WJC is 63.64km whereas

augmentation canal is 22.54 km long. Net irrigated area is 1130km2

whereas, gross irrigated area 1860km2

Systematic hydro geological surveys in the district was carried out by

Geological Survey of India during 1956-61.Re-Appraisal Hydro Geological

Surveys in the district were carried out by Central Ground Water Board,

during 1975-77,1981- 82 and 1988-89.Detailed hydro geological and

water balance studies were carried out under Ghaggar and Upper

Yamuna Projects. Ground water exploration has been carried out in

various phases and so far 5 exploratory wells, 15 slim holes and 15

piezometers have been constructed in the district.

. Percentage of gross area irrigated

to total cropped area is 91.6%.

Geology

Yamuna Nagar District falls in geological domain in the Shivalik hills

which are confined to the northern part of Haryana. Yamuna Nagar

District has subtropical continental monsoon climate that is

characterised by seasonal rhythm, hot summers, cool winter, unreliable

rainfalls and great variation in temperature. In winters frost sometime

occurs during December and January. Yamuna Nagar District

experiences extreme climate conditions. May and June are the hottest

months while December and January are the coldest. Maximum

4/II

temperature on average goes as high as 44 degree Celsius in the summer

season. Temperature starts rising steadily from February onwards till the

onset of monsoon. The average annual rainfall of the district comes out to

be:

Normal Annual Rainfall 1107 mm

Normal monsoon Rainfall 898 mm

The important rivers of the district are Yamuna River, Sarasvati,

Chautang, Rakshi Rivers, etc. Yamuna River enters the district from its

northeastern corner through a narrow corridor in the Shivalik. It is a

perennial river. Generally, the slope of Yamuna Nagar District is from

north-east to south-west, in which direction most of rivers flow down. The

soils in the district are mainly loamy in nature. The underground water in

the district is suitable for domestic and irrigation purposes. The district

has favorable climate for the growth of rich vegetation due to reasonably

good rainfall and elevation. Tropical dry deciduous forests and sub-

tropical forests are found here. Yamuna Nagar District of Haryana

receives second highest rainfall after Panchkula District.

Geomorphology

The district is divided into five Physiographic units;

Siwaliks

Dissected Rolling Plains

Interfluvial Plains

Active and Recent Flood Plains

Relict Plains

Siwaliks hills - Siwalik hill ranges occupy the northern fringe of Yamuna

Nagar district and attain the height up to 950m AMSL. The hills are about

500m high with respect to the adjacent alluvial plains. These are

characterized by the broad tableland topography that has been carved

into quite sharp slopes by numerous ephemeral streams come down to

the outer slopes of the Siwaliks and spread much of gravels boulders,

pebbles in the beds of these streams.

http://www.indianetzone.com/2/yamuna_river.htm�


5/II

Kandi Belt - A dissected rolling plain in the northern parts of district is a

transitional tract between Siwaliks hills and alluvial plains. It is about 25

km wide and elevation varies between 250 and 375m AMSL.

Interfluvial plains - This tract is part of higher ground between Ghaggar

and Chautang and includes high mounds and valleys. In general, the

slope is from northeast to southwest.

(SOURCE: http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/HariyanaYamuna Nagar.pdf )

CLIMATE, RAINFALL & SOIL:

The climate of Yamuna Nagar district can be classified as subtropical

monsoon, mild &dry winter, hot summer and sub-humid which is mainly

dry with hot summer and cold winter except during monsoon season

when moist air of oceanic origin penetrates into the district. There are

four seasons in a year. The hot weather season starts from mid March to

last week of the June followed by the southwest monsoon which lasts up

to September. The transition period from September to November forms

the post monsoon season. The winter season starts late in November and

remains up to first week of March.

(SOURCE: http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/HariyanaYamuna Nagar.pdf)

Rainfall

The normal annual rainfall of the district is 1107 mm, which is unevenly

distributed over the area in 43 days. The south west monsoon sets in

from last week of June and withdraws in end of September, contributed

about 81% of annual Rainfall. July and August are the wettest months.

Rest 19% rainfall is received during Non-monsoon period in the wake of

western disturbances and thunderstorms.

6/II

Soils

The soils in the district are mainly silty loam (Khadar), loam (Bhangar and

Nardak), and light loam (Seoti). The soils as classified by the national

bureau of soil survey and land use planning (icar), Nagpur, the district

has mainly udalfs, aquents-fluvents and ochrepts-orthents types of soils.

2.2 SURFACE DRAINAGE PATTERN

Drainage

The important rivers/ streams of the district are Yamuna, Sarasvati,

Chautang, Rakshi, Somb, Boli, etc.

Yamuna river after rising from the snow-clad peaks of the middle

himalayas at yamnotri, enters the district from its northeastern corner

through a narrow corridor in the Siwaliks. It is a perennial river. bolinadi

joins the sombnadi near dadupur and then the combined somb and

bolinadis join the Yamuna River at meharmajra. The rakshi stream takes

its birth in the rolling foot hill plain while the Chautang and Sarasvati

rivers originate in the lower hills. Generally, the slope of the district is

from north-east to southwest, in which direction most of rivers/nadis/

rainfed torrents flow down.

Catchment of River Yamuna:

http://www.researchgate.net/...Drainage.../9c96051f8a144d0a24.pdf�


7/II

The total catchment basin of the Yamuna River is 3,66,223 km2

(catchment area in various states = 3,45,848 km2; Yamuna river area =

20,375 km2

The surface drainage pattern map is attached as Map No. 2.

), which is 42.5% of the Ganga basin and 10.7% of the total

geographical landmass of the country. Of the total drainage area of the

Yamuna basin, 70.9% area drains through the tributaries of Yamuna, and

the balance area (i.e. 29.1%) are either directly drains or is occupied by

smaller streams. Of its total run of 1376 km, it passes through

Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

Drainage Basin area of River Yamuna at Haryana (square KM/square

mile) with % of Drainage Basin is 21265/8214(6.5%).

The catchment area of entire Yamuna River along with the drainage

pattern is shown below:

Fig: Catchment Area & drainage network of Yamuna River

SOURCE OF SAND IN YAMUNA BASIN

Yamuna basin is bordered by river Yamuna from Yamunanagar to Delhi

and National Highway No. 1 from Nilokheri to Delhi. Between Nilokheri

and Delhi the National Highway No. 1 is aligned on the levee of River


8/II

Yamuna and acts as water divide between the ancient River Saraswati

and Yamuna. The Riverine action deposited several meter thick sand

layers in the riverbed. Slow shifting of river Yamuna towards east left

behind several meter deep sand deposits, which was subsequently

covered by alluvium consisting sand, silt and clay to form topsoil. The

Yamuna basin (Figure given below) measuring around 1700 sq km is

estimated to have 300 billion cu m sand deposits lying below agricultural

land.

Fig: Sand deposits in Yamuna Basin

(Source: ICAR-Sand/Technical Bulletin 5/2007)

The description of Sand found in the lease area as minor mineral is

as under:

The thickness of sand varies from 310 m in river bed whereas the

thickness in the agriculture fields is more than 20m.

Sediments of various sizes and in mixed form are predominantly

deposited in the river bed and there is no perfect classification between


9/II

sediments. These may be called as coarse sand, medium sand and fine

sand.

The term sand is used to denote an aggregate of mineral or rock grains

greater than 1/16mm and less than 2 mm in diameter.

2.3 MINING

Mining will be done as per the guidelines of Haryana Minor Mineral

Concession Rules, 2012.

• This is an open-cast mining project. The operation will be semi-

mechanized with use of excavators/JCBs etc. The sand will be

collected in its existing form.

• Sand Mining will be carried out only upto a depth of 3 m bgl or above

ground water level (whichever comes first),

• No drilling /blasting are required as the material is loose in nature.

• Mining will be done only during the day time and completely stopped

during the monsoon season.

• Mining will not be done inside stream till it is allowed as per rules.

Mineable reserves and anticipated life of the mine

It is presumed that the mineral will be replenished every year during the

rainy season. New mineral will be added every year in the river bed. As

lease has been granted for 10 years, mining will be done for the allotted

time, till the mineral replenished continues.

PRODUCTION (EXTRACTABLE QUANTUM)

The mineable area has been considered with an ultimate depth of 3 meter

from the surface for calculation of the reserve. For the tonnage estimation

the reserve quantity is multiplied with the bulk density of 2 tonnes per

cum.

Reserve:

As per the above calculation, it has been estimated that the reserve is

20,64,000 tonnes.


10/II

However considering the factors such as geological disturbances, volume

that cannot be mined due to flow of water and also considering the safety

factor, approximately 10,15,400 tonnes has been considered as

production or the extractable quantity from the mineable area for grant of

Environmental Clearance from an estimated reserve of 20,64,000 tonnes

of minerals deposit in it. The minerals excavated from the river bed

material will be replenished gradually during the monsoon season every

year.

Production (Extractable Quantum):

The extractable quantum in the first year would be limited to 10,15,400

tonnes. The extractable amount for the further years may vary depending

on amount/rate of actual replenishment which is to be monitored by

expert agencies every year limited to 10,15,400 tonnes/year.

Lease has been allotted for a period of 10 years in one single block named

Tajewala. Lease area consist of 48.97 ha area.

Mining Process:

• Mining will be done in entire lease area leaving safety distance form

bank and stream for river bed.

• Mining will be done upto a maximum depth of 3 m in layers of 1 m

each starting from the downstream end, which will avoid ponding

effect.

• Mining will be confined within central 3/4th width of the river. This

will prevent collapse of bank and erosion.

• It will be done leaving a safety zone of total of 1/4th of the width of

the river from the banks for bank protection. Excavated area will be

replenished naturally due to sediment inflow from the catchment

area.

The schematic diagram showing the mining process is given below:

Results Noise monitoring reveals that the minimum & maximum noise levels at day

time were recorded as 48.5 dB(A) at NQ2 & 51.8 dB(A) at NQ-4 respectively.

The maximum & minimum noise levels at night time were found to be 40.2

dB(A) at NQ4 & 39.5 dB(A) at NQ1 respectively.

There are several sources in the 10 km radius of study area, which contributes

to the local noise level of the area. On the commencement of the project, the

sound from traffic activities will add to the ambient noise level of the area. This

will be kept under check by taking proper suggestive measures.

3.1.6 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Biological diversity comprises the variability of species, genus and ecosystems

and is very crucial for maintaining the basic processes on which the life

depends. Broadly it can be divided in to two types i.e. the floral diversity and

faunal diversity. Conservation of the biodiversity is essential for the sustainable

development as it not only provides the food, fodder and medicine but also

contribute in improvement of essential environmental attributes like air, water,

soil, etc.

Before starting any Environmental Impact Assessment study, it is necessary to

identify the baseline of relevant environmental parameters which are likely to

be affected as a result of operation of the proposed project. A similar approach

has been adopted for conducting the study on Biological Environment for this

Project. Both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems have been studied to

understand the biological environment.

Study Area:

The study area is the core zone of mine lease area and 10km radial area

around the mine lease boundary. The mine lease to mine boulder, gravel and

sand is located in dry riverbed of Yamuna River near village Tajewala, Dist:

Yamuna Nagar, Haryana.


Physical Environment of Yamuna Nagar District:

Yamunanagar district came into existence on 1st November, 1989. Its area is

1756 km2. Before being named Yamunanagar it was known as Abdullapur.

Large part of the district lies under the Shiwalik foothills. It is an important

industrial town having metal, utensil and plywood industries. Large industries

like ShriGopal Paper Mills and Saraswati Sugar Mills (biggest Sugar mill in

Asia) are also located here.

Yamuna Nagar district is bounded by the state of Himachal Pradesh in the

north, by the state of Uttar Pradesh in the east and south east by the districts

of Yamuna Nagar and Kurukshetra in the south west and by Ambala district in

the west.

Vegetation of the Study area

The district has favorable climate for the growth of rich vegetation due to

reasonably good rainfall and elevation. Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo), kikar

(Acacia nilotica), Aam (Mangifera indica), Jamun (Syzygium cumini), pipal (Ficus

religiosa), Bodh (Ficus benghalensis) Neem (Azadirachta indica), etc. are the

important tree species grown in the area. Safeda (Eucalyptus hybrida) has been

introduced since 1963 in forest areas as well as on private land and popular is

also grown on private land and also along the road routes. The natural

vegetation is mainly of forest growth and its degradation stages. Tropical dry

deciduous forests and sub-tropical forests are found here.

Kalesar National Park is situated about 2.5 kilometer north of the

proposed project site.

Kalesar National Park

Kalesar National Park is situated in the foot hills of Shiwalik ranges of mighty

Himalays. On map it is located between 30018 to 30027 North latitude & 770 25

to 770 35 East longitude. It falls under Yamunanagar district of Haryana and

sharing boundary with three states viz., Himachal Pradesh & Uttranchal& U.P.

The Yamuna river form the Eastern boundary with Uttar Pradesh, the main


Shiwalik ridge separates state boundary among Haryana, Himachal Pradesh &

Uttaranchal in the north.

Kalesar National Park is named after the Kalesar (shiva) temple located in

protected area. The whole area is full of bio-diversity having dens Sal forest,

Khair forest and patches of grass lands, which supports variety of plants and

animal species.

The park was declared as National Park on 8thDecember 2003 having an area

of 11570 acres. Just adjacent to the National Park is Kalesar Wildlife

Sanctuary and it was notified on 13thDecember 1996, having an area of 13209

acres.

Boundaries

The entire National Park & Sanctuary area is duly notified and demarcated on

the ground with the help of pillars and natural boundaries like rivers and

torrents. To the north of National Park Simbalwada Wildlife Sanctuary

(Himachal Pradesh) is there separated by ridge line and marked by pillars. To

the East Yamuna river makes boundary of park with Uttar Pradesh. To the

south agriculture lands of village’s viz., Tajewala, Araynwala, Naggal, Tiberian,

Khizri, Baghpat, Khillanwala, Kansli, Darpur, Chicken, Jatanwal and Kot are

situated. The western side is bounded by the crop fields of villages Faqirmajra

and Ibrahimpur.

Animals in National Park

Corresponding to the considerable diversity of habitat types, the wild animals

of Kalesar protected area show a good variety of species. Although numbers are

rather low at present, due to the full protection provided by park authorities,

the population will increase to the full carrying capacity of the area within few

years.Among herbivores Sambhar is common, especially in the more densely

forested areas on gentle slopes, groups of 2 to 4 are often seen. Chital is

another common herbivore found in open grassy patches and fire lines.

Barking deer is found especially in forest areas with ample ground cover. The

Goral is found in the park occupying a specialized niche on the relatively bare

rocky slope at the top of Shiwalik ridges.


Antelopes are represented by the Nilgai or Blue bull which occurs in the more

open areas bordering Yamuna plain. Wild boar is also fairly common in the

park and it also raids on crops. Elephant is an occupational visitor from Rajaji

National Park. Elephants use to stay at Kalesar Protected Area for few weeks

and used to go back to Rajaji National Park.

The Rhesus macaque is most common monkey in the park and most of these

were released in the park area from outside. Presently, there number is too

high for these monkeys also feeds on eggs of Red Jungle fowl, so there is a

apprehension that there is a decrease in Red Jungle Fowl number. Most of the

time these monkeys attack on villages and also go for crap raids. Among the

carnivores in Kalesar Protected Area leopard take pride place. There are about

10-12 leopard in the entire Protected Area. The tiger is also an occasional

visitor from Rajaji national park. It stays for few days and goes back. If there is

increase in prey base it can permanently stay in the park.

Forests cover in Yamuna Nagar District: (Area in km2):

The forest cover in Yamuna Nagar districts very less, out of total area 1768

km2, total forest area is 194 km2(10.97) which comprises 21 km2 very dense

forest, 86 km2 moderately dense forest, 87km2 open forest (Source: India state of forest report, 2011) Study period and methodology

Flora of the Core zone

The core zone comprises of Yamuna river bed, where mining operation is

proposed. This area consists of riparian vegetation in which aquatic and

marshland plants are the main component. Most among them are weeds. No

ecologically sensitive plant species has been reported from this area. Riparian

vegetation is found along the river side. In stagnant water growth of

hydrophytes likes Hydrolea zeylanica, Ipomoea carnea, Ludwigia adscendens,

Sagittaria sagittifolia, Spilanthes paniculata, Typha latifolia, etc. can be

commonly observed.

Flora of the Buffer zone: Kalesar national park is situated to the Northof the

proposed project site. There are few reserve forests (RF) and five protected

forests (PF) present in the in the ten kilometer buffer zone of this project site

Forest Types of Yamuna Nagar

The area has varied topography ranging from plains to hills. The alluvial and

fertile Indo-Gangetic plains dominate the topography of the area. Siwalik Hills

and Himachal Pradesh is situated in the north of the district. Haryana, which

receives little rainfall and is drought prone, has only one significant perennial

river i.e. Yamuna, which forms Haryana's eastern boundary and which feeds

an extensive irrigation network. The Ghaggar is one of several seasonal rivers

flowing south from the Siwalik Hills. The area has tropical dry deciduous

forest There are mainly two types of forest found within 10 kilometer buffer of

the proposed project area, i) Northern Dry Mixed Deciduous Forest (5B/C2)

and ii) Dry Deciduous Scrub (5/DS1).

Northern Dry Mixed Deciduous Forest (5B/C2): This type occurs on the

upper dry slopes along the Siwaliks and their extensions. The upper canopy is

usually light, open and irregular. The trees having relatively short bole and

poor form and a height rarely over 10 meters. The canopy is formed entirely of

deciduous trees. Major species are Cassia fistula, Diospyros tomentosa, Acacia

catechu, Anogeissus latifolia, Bombax ceiba, Albizialebbeck, Albizia procera,

Acacia nilotica, Acacia modesta, Bauhinia variegata, Syzygium cumini,

Mangifera indica, Ehretia laevis, Phoenix spp., Morus alba,Morus australia,

Terminalia tomentosa, Boswellia serrata, Aegle marmelos, Bauhinia racemosa,


Bauhinia purpurea, Erythrina suberosa, Ficus glomerata, Grewia elastica,

Mallotus philippensis and Shorea robusta (rarely).

Dry Deciduous Scrub (5/DS1): This type is located adjacent to the habitation

in the Siwalik foot hills. This represents a degradation stage of the tropical dry

deciduous forest and has been brought into existence by adverse biotic factor

like excessive grazing, lopping, felling and fires. In spite of sufficient rains,

moisture retention is very poor and the type has now become a stable edaphic

climax. The crop is open with less tree cover. The main tree species found are

Diospyros tomentosa, Acacia leucophloea, Butea monosperma, Premnabarbata,

Cassia fistula, Anogeissus latifolia and Lannea grandis. The undergrowth is

mainly Carissa opaca, Woodfordia fruticosa, Nyctanthes arbortristis and

Flacourtia indica.

Buffer zone of this project site is mainly agriculture, agricultural fallow land

and Kalesar National Park. The flora of buffer zone comprises of plants growing

on the edges of agricultural land, village woodlots and trees planted along the

roads. Many tree species are planted in the area because of their usefulness,

economic and aesthetic values. The tree species observed in the area are, Sal

(Shorea robusta),Jamun (Syzygium cumini), Bail (Aegle marmelos), Bakain

(Melia azedarach), Bargad (Ficus bengalensis), Neem (Azadirachta indica),

Popular (Populas deltoides), Safeda (Eucalyptus sp), Sisam (Dalbergia

sissoo),Bhimal (Grewia optiva) etc.

In agricultural waste land and along the road side, growth of weeds like

Argemone mexicana, Cannabis sativa, Cenchrus ciliaris, Heteropogon contortus,

Lantana camara, Parthenium hysterosphorus, etc. are very common. These

weeds are affecting the agricultural productivity of the region due to fast

growth, short life cycle and enormous production of seeds.

Waste land:

Most of the areas nearby the Core zone are waste land. Commonly seen plant

species in such areas are Cannabis sativa, Lantana camara, Ipomea carnea,


Calotropis procera, Cassia tora, Parthenium hysterophorus, Ziziphus mauritiana,

Heteropogon contortus, Argemone mexicana, etc. These weeds are affecting the

agricultural productivity of the region due to fast growth, short life cycle and

enormous production of seeds.

Vegetation in and around human settlement:

Vegetation pattern in villages and surrounding areas are slightly different from

the rest of the areas. The common species grown near villages are mostly edible

or useful plants such as Mangifera indica, Syzygium cumini, Azadirachta indica,

Albizia lebbeck, Delonix regia, Tamarindus indica, etc.

WILD LIFE AND AVIFAUNA OF THE STUDY AREA:

The major part of the study area lies under agriculture field, forest and human

settlements in the South West, West to North east part of the study area while

the North and the North west to North east part are covered with forest and

Kalesar National Park. River Yamuna borders the habitat area of wild life from

the east (vide Land use map) which restrict the wildlife habitat significantly.

Kalesar National Park situated at 2.5 km in North direction of the site supports

various animal species.

FAUNA:

Mammals: Core zone of the area is devoid of wild mammals, but many

domesticated mammal species are reported from buffer zone during the field

survey. Common grazing animals like buffalo, cow, goat etc. can be noticed in

open grass fields. Small mammals like Indian palm squirrel (Funambulus


palmarum) and field mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) are noticed in vicinity of

village. Inquiry from village people regarding wild animals reveals that Rhesus

macaque (Macaca mulatta), Indian hare (Lepus nigricollis), fruits bat (Pteropus

conspicillatus), etc. are often seen in the area. Buffer zone includes Kalesar

National park and Sanctuary supports good biodiversity and some rare and

endangered wildlife species.

Avifauna: Water birds like White throated Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis),

Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis), Red Wattled Lapwing, Indian Cormorant, etc. are

noticed. House crow (Corvus splendens), House sparrow (Passer domesticus),

Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis), Red-rumped Swallow (Cecropis daurica),

and Indian Cormorant (Phalacrocorax fuscicollis) are of common occurrence.

Reptiles: The reptilians species commonly reported are Agama (Laudakia

tuberculata) in settlement area, Garden lizard (Calotes versicolor) and Eutropis

macularia along shady places in agricultural field or where growth of bushes is

noticed. Among non-poisonous snakes rat snakes (Ptyas mucosus) are

commonly noticed in field, followed by poisonous snakes like Indian Cobra

(Naja naja) and Banded krait (Bungarus multicinctus) are reported to be seen by

farmers.

Amphibian: Amphibians are commonly found at the places along the margin of

aquatic and terrestrial systems. Due to presence of water bodies like river,

nalas, etc. the study area is providing shelter to many amphibian species.

The socio economic and its baseline data has been collected to comprehend

socio-economic status of the people living in the study area and also to assess

the impact of the project on it.

METHODOLOGY

For Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of the proposed Project, GRC India

recourse to systematic analysis of various Socio-Economic characteristics, both

in terms of quality and quantity. Accordingly, both qualitative and quantitative

data was collected from secondary sources. For collection of secondary data

GRC approached the Census Authority in the state for published

data/information, visited state and district portal and referred to

administrative records of the state and district administration. Codes were

extensively used during collection of qualitative data. They were decoded after

data processing to facilitate data analysis and report writing.

CHAPTER-IV

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL

IMPACT AND MITIGATION MEASURES



2/IV

4.0 GENERAL

All industrial and/or development projects are likely to have an impact on the

natural set up of the environment. This impact may be beneficial or adverse,

depending on the improvement or the deterioration it brings, about change in

the status of air, water, land, ecology, natural systems, socio-cultural life styles

and economics of the population. Depending on the nature of activities and

baseline environment status, the impacts are assessed for their importance. On

the basis of the impact analysis, the mitigating action and future monitoring

requirement are paid attention to in the Environmental Management Plan for

countering or minimizing the impacts.

Keeping in mind, the environmental baseline scenario as detailed in Section III

and the proposed mining activity described in Section II, it is attempted to

assess the likely impact and its extent on various environmental parameters

and likely mitigation measures to be adopted.

4.1 LAND ENVIRONMENT

The extraction of materials is proposed from the dry riverbed. Mining below the

existing streambed and alteration of channel-bed form and shape may lead to

several impacts such as erosion of channel bed and banks, increase in channel

slope, and change in channel morphology if, the operations are not carried out

systematically. The mining and allied activities involved in river bed mining and

result in creation of temporary haul roads and formation of mined pits inside

and outside the river, etc. affecting the land use pattern.

Anticipated Impacts:

• Undercutting and collapse of river banks.

• Excessive and unscientific riverbed material mining is a threat to bridges,

dams and nearby structures.

• River bank cutting and erosion.

• Upstream erosion as a result of an increase in channel slope and changes in

flow velocity.



3/IV

• Downstream erosion due to increased carrying capacity of the stream.

Mitigation measures:

• Mine lease area has been proposed leaving a safety distance of 1/4th of the

width of the river from the bank inwards which will protect the banks.

• In this activity, the work is proposed to be done in a semi mechanized way

which will avoid adverse effects associated with heavy machinery and their

functioning.

• The mining is planned in non monsoon seasons only so that the excavated area

will be replenished naturally during the subsequent rainy season.

• Restoration of bank will be ensured at the end of mine closure every year.

• Grasses and bushes which have fibrous roots at the first instance are proposed

to grown along the banks which enhances the binding properties of the soil.

Hence, protecting the banks. The systematic and scientific removal of minerals

will not cause bed degradation.

4.2 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Mining has a direct impact on the physico-chemical habitat characteristics.

These characteristics include in stream roughness elements, depth, velocity,

turbidity, sediment transport and stream discharge. Altering these habitat

characteristics can have deleterious impacts on both in-stream biota and

associated riparian habitat.

The detrimental effects, if any, to biota resulting from bed material in case of

river bed mining are caused by following:

i. alteration of flow patterns resulting from modification of the river bed

ii. an excess of suspended sediment

iii. Damage to riparian vegetation and in-stream habitat

The disturbance activities can also disrupt the ecological diversity in many

ways.



4/IV

Mitigation measures

Project activity will be carried out in the non-monsoon season. Hence, none of

the project activities affect the water environment directly. In the project, it is

not proposed to divert or truncate any stream in case of river bed mining. No

proposal is envisaged for pumping of water either from the river or tapping the

ground water.

The deposit will be worked from the top surface up to a maximum depth of 3m

below ground level or above the ground water table whichever comes first.

Hence mining will not affect the ground water regime as well.

4.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT


Emission of fugitive dust is envisaged due to:

i. Mining Activities includes excavation and lifting of minerals. The whole

process will be done in a semi-mechanized manner. Therefore the dust

generated is likely to be insignificant as compared to mining processes

involving drilling, blasting, mechanized loading etc.

ii. Transportation of minerals will be done by road using trucks. Fugitive dust

emission is expected from the transportation of trucks on the haul roads.

Evaluation of fugitive dust emission has been done by using line source

model as given below:

Air Modeling

A detailed study on emission sources and quantification of pollutant

concentration by means of dispersion modeling is required to access the

environmental impact of a mine. On the basis of the predicted increments to air

pollutant concentrations, an effective mitigation and environmental plan can be

devised for sensitive areas. In case of river bed sand, stone & bajri mining, as

there is no blasting and drilling activities, the impacts may only be caused by



5/IV

material handling and transportation activities. The material is mostly wet, and

therefore effect is minimal.

FUGITIVE DUST- MODELING

Air quality modeling was done using line source model as published by USEPA

“Emission Factor Documentation for AP-42”, in section 13.2.2, for

transportation though unpaved roads. Emission factors to be used in Line

source dispersion equation is adopted from formula as given below:

E=k * (s/12)a * (W/3)b /(M/0.2c

Constant

) …………………………(1)

Where

E = Emission Rate (lb/VMT)

s = Surface material Silt Content (%) = 10%

W=Mean Vehicle Weight (tonnes) = 25 tonnes

M= Surface material moisture content (%) = 2.5%

K, a, b & c are empirical constants with values given as below:

PM10 k 2.6 a 0.8 b 0.4 c 0.3

Thus for vehicles of 25 tonners, the Emission Rate using equation (1) is:

E = 1.29516 lb/VMT

This gives E = 0.001725 g/s/m

Concentration of the fugitive dust was calculated using the formula given in

“Workbook of Dispersion Modeling” by Turner. The Concentration of the

fugitive Dust is given below:

• Water sprinkling will be done on the haul roads twice in a day. This will

reduce dust emission further by 74% (Ref. Haul road dust control by WR REED & JA

Organiscak).

in a controlled scenario i.e. through water sprinkling.

Mitigation measures

The only source of dust or air pollution is road transport network of the trucks.

The mitigation measures like the following will be resorted:

• Speed limits will be enforced to reduce airborne fugitive dust from vehicular

traffic.

• Spillage from the trucks will be prevented by covering tarpaulin over the

trucks.

• Deploying PUC certified vehicles to reduce their emissions.

• Proper tuning of vehicles to keep the gas emissions under check.

• Monitoring to ensure compliance with emission limits would be carried out

during operation.

4.4 NOISE

As mining activity is Semi Mechanized in nature. The anticipated impact is due

to the operation of machinery and also due to movement of vehicles deployed

for transportation of minerals.


• Mental disturbance, stress & impaired hearing.

• Proper maintenance, oiling and greasing of machines at regular intervals

will be done to reduce the generation of noise.

• Decrease in speech reception & communication.

• Distraction and diminished concentration affecting job performance

efficiency



8/IV

• Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) like earmuffs/earplugs will be

provided to all operators and employees working near mining machineries or

at higher noise zone.

The noise level in the working environment are compared with the standards

prescribed by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA-USA)

which has been adopted and enforced by the Govt. of India through model

rules framed under Factories Act, 1980 and CPCB 2000 norms. The summary

of the permissible exposures in cases of continuous noise as per above rules is

given below:

Noise at lower levels (sound pressure) is quite acceptable and does not have

any bad effect on human beings, but when it is abnormally high- it incurs

some maleficent effects.



9/IV

a. Mitigation measures

The following measures have been envisaged to reduce the impact from the

transportation of minerals:

i. The vehicles will be maintained in good running condition so that noise

will be reduced to minimum possible level.

ii. In addition, truck drivers will be instructed to make minimum use of

horns in the village area and sensitive zones.

iii. Awareness will be imparted to the workers about the permissible noise

levels & maximum exposure to those levels

4.5 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Mining which leads to the removal of channel substrate, re-suspension of

streambed sediment and stockpiling on the streambed, will have ecological

impacts. These impacts may have an effect on the direct loss of stream reserve

habitat, disturbances of species attached to streambed deposits, reduced light

penetration, reduced primary production, and reduced feeding opportunities.

The area around the mine lease area is mostly river bed and its paleochannels,

no agriculture activity is going on at-least within 1km from the mine site.

Therefore no significant impact on the agriculture around the project site is

expected.

Sand mining generates additional traffic, which negatively impairs the

environment.


• Excessive and unscientific riverbed sand mining results in the destruction

of aquatic and riparian habitat through large changes in the channel

morphology.

• Access roads crossing the riparian areas will have impact on the species

disturbing the ecosystem.



10/IV

• Mining may drive away the wild life from their habitat, and significantly

affect wildlife and nearby residents.

• Diminution of the quality and quantity of habitat essential for aquatic and

riparian species.

• Reduction in the yield of agriculture due to deposition of dust on the leaves,

etc. of the crops.

• Fragmentation of wildlife habitat and blocking of migratory paths/corridors.

Isolation may lead to local decline of species, or genetic.

• Mining on the streambed, braided flow or subsurface inter-sand flow may

hinder the movement of fishes between pools.

Mitigation measures

As the proposed mining will be carried out in a scientific manner, not much

significant impact is anticipated, however, the following mitigation measures

will be taken to further minimize it:

1. No mining will be carried out during the monsoon season to minimize

impact on aquatic life which is mainly breeding season for many of the

species.

2. As the mining site has no vegetation, no clearance of vegetation will be done.

3. Prior to closure of mining operations / during the rainy season the eroded

bank will be restored / reclaimed to minimize negative impacts on aquatic

habitats.

4. Haul roads will be sprinkled with water which would reduce the dust

emission, thus avoiding damage to the crops.

5. Mining will be carried out on the dry part of the lease area to avoid

disturbance to the aquatic habitat and movement of fish species.

6. No discard of food, polythene waste etc will be allowed in the lease area

which would distract/attract the wildlife.

7. No night time mining will be allowed which may catch the attention of wild

life due to sound and light.



11/IV

8. Workers will be made aware of the importance o the wildlife and signage will

be displayed at the sensitive areas to caution the workers & other passerby.

9. Access roads will not encroach into the riparian zones and if any riparian

vegetation cleared off for the mining activity will be restored at the end of

closure of mine.

4.6 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS

Traffic analysis is carried out by understanding the existing carrying capacity

of the roads near to the project site and the connecting main roads in the area.

Depending on the tonnes extracted, the number of trucks that will be added to

the present scenario will be compared to the carrying capacity.

Results

As to prevent the huge traffic on a single highway i.e. NH-73A, the

transportation route have been diverted to another road as well named as

Khizrabad Road, to minimize the effect.

From the traffic study it is observed that the level of services will go down just

from “B” from “A” i.e. excellent to very good due to additional traffic load for

National Highway.

Therefore, the additional load on the carrying capacity of the concerned roads

is not likely to have any adverse affect. However for smooth movement of traffic

management has been proposed as given below.

Traffic Management:

1. Roads will be repaired regularly and maintained in good conditions.

2. A supervisor will be appointed to regulate the traffic movement near the site.

3. Speed breakers will be constructed accident prone areas to calm the traffic

and its speed.

4. Signage will be erected at the sensitive & precarious places to caution or

provide information to road users.

5. Speed limit will be enforced.

6. Pass ways will be made to ensure easy movement of trucks on the narrow

roads.

CHAPTER-V

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

PROGRAMME


2/V

5.0 INTRODUCTION

Regular monitoring of the various environmental parameters is necessary to

evaluate the effectiveness of the management programme so that the

necessary corrective measures can be taken in case there are some

drawbacks in the proposed programme. Since environmental quality

parameters at work zone and surrounding areas are important for

maintaining sound operating practices of the project in conformity with

environmental regulations, the post project monitoring work forms part of

Environmental Monitoring Program.

Environmental Monitoring Program will be implemented once the project

activity commences. Environmental monitoring program includes (i)

environmental surveillance, (ii) analysis & interpretation of data, (iii)

preparation of reports to support environmental management system and (iv)

organizational set up responsible for the implementation of the programme.

5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING PROCEDURE

Monitoring shall confirm that commitments are being met. This may take the

form of direct measurement and recording of quantitative information, such

as amounts and concentrations of discharges and wastes, for measurement

against corporate or statutory standards, consent limits or targets. It may

also require measurement of ambient environmental quality in the vicinity of

a site using ecological/biological, physical and chemical indicators.

Monitoring may include socio-economic interaction, through local liaison

activities or even assessment of complaints.

The preventive approach to environment management may also require

monitoring of process inputs, for example, type and method used, resource

consumption, equipment and pollution control performance etc.

The key aims of environment monitoring are:


3/V

1. To ensure that results/conditions are as forecast during the planning

stage, and where they are not, to pinpoint the cause and implement

action to remedy the situation.

2. To verify the evaluations made during the planning process, in particular

with risk and impact assessments and standard & target setting and to

measure operational and process efficiency.

3. Monitoring will also be required to meet compliance with statutory and

corporate requirements.

4. Finally, monitoring results provide the basis for auditing i.e. to identify

unexpected changes.

5.2 MONITORING METHODOLOGIES AND PARAMETERS Air Quality Monitoring

Air Quality monitoring is essential for evaluation of the effectiveness of abatement programmes and to develop appropriate control measures. Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2

Parameters

) will be monitored at the workplace i.e. core zone. The methodology proposed for is shown below:

4/V

Water Quality monitoring

Water quality monitoring involves periodical assessment of quality of surface

water and the ground water near the mining project.

• Surface water samples will be analyzed for all the parameters as per

EPA, 1986

• Ground water samples will be analyzed for all the parameters as per

IS-10500.

Soil Quality monitoring The soil quality monitoring is carried out to assess the soil characteristic.

The soil quality will be analyzed as per CPCB norms.

Noise Level Monitoring

Noise level monitoring will be done for achieving the following objectives:

a) To compare sound levels with the values specified in noise regulations

b) To determine the need and extent of noise control of various noise

generating sources

Noise level monitoring will be done at the work zone to assess the

occupational noise exposure levels. Noise levels will also be monitored at the

noise generating sources like mineral handling arrangements, vehicle

movements and also at the nearest village for studying the impact due to

higher noise levels for taking necessary control measures at the source.

Socio-economic Survey

Socio economic condition will be monitored to assess the demographic

particulars of the area including the impacts on the social & economical

condition on the residents nearby.


5/V

Plantation monitoring programme

Plantation monitoring will be done to ensure survival & growth rate of

plantations.

5.3 MONITORING SCHEDULE

The schedule has been shown below for the parameters proposed for

monitoring.

S.No. Description of Parameters Schedule of Monitoring

1 Air Quality

24 hourly samples twice a week in each season except monsoon

2 Water Quality (Surface & Groundwater)

Once a season for 4 seasons in a year

3 Soil Quality Once in a year in project area

4 Noise Level Twice a year for first two years & then once a year

5 Socio-economic Condition Once in 3 years

6 Plantation monitoring Once in a season

5.4 MONITORING SCHEDULE - IMPLEMENTATION

An implementation programme has been prepared as it serves no purpose if

it is not implemented in letter and spirit.

The major attributes of environment are not confined to the mining site

alone. Implementation of proposed control measures and monitoring

programme has an implication on the surrounding area as well as for the

region. Therefore, mine management should strengthen the existing control

measures as elaborated earlier in this report and monitor the efficacy of the

control measures implemented within the mining area relating to the

following specific areas:


6/V

a) Collection of air and water samples at strategic locations with frequency

suggested and by analyzing thereof. If the parameters exceed the

permissible tolerance limits, corrective regulation measure will be taken.

b) Collection of soil samples at strategic locations once every two years and

analysis thereof with regard to deleterious constituents, if any.

c) Measurement of water level fluctuations in the nearby ponds, dug wells

and bore wells and to assess if mining has got any impact on it or not.

d) Measurement of noise levels at mine site, stationary and mobile sources,

and adjacent villages will be done twice a year for first two years and

thereafter once a year.

e) Post plantation, the area will be regularly monitored in every season for

evaluation of success rate. For selection of plant species local people

should also be involved.

An Environmental Management Cell (EMC) is envisaged which will be

responsible for monitoring EMP and its implementation. EMC members

should meet periodically to assess the progress and analyze the data

collected during the month.

5.5 REPORTING SCHEDULES OF THE MONITORING DATA

It is proposed that voluntary reporting of environmental performance with

reference to the EMP should be undertaken. The environmental monitoring

cell shall co-ordinate all monitoring programmes at site to furnish the data

to the State regulatory agencies regularly in respect of the stipulated prior

environmental clearance terms and conditions.

The proponent shall prominently advertise in the newspapers indicating that

the project has been accorded environmental clearance and also the details

of website where it is displayed.

6.0 PUBLIC CONSULTATION

The public consultation for this project was held on 3-02-2015. The Public

hearing Notice is shown below.

The records of the proceedings are attached at Annexure X (A) and the

action plan along with budget allocation is attached as Annexure X (B).

4/VI

6.1 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT

METHODOLOGY

RISK is to expose someone or something to danger, harm or loss. The

different steps of risk assessment procedure are as given below:

Step I: Hazard Identification

The purpose of hazard identification is to identify and develop a list of

hazards for each job in the organization that are reasonably likely to expose

people to injury, illness or disease if not effectively controlled. Workers can

then be informed of these hazards and controls put in place to protect

workers prior to them being exposed to the actual hazard.

Step II: Risk Assessment

Risk assessment is the process used to determine the likelihood that people

exposed to injury, illness or disease in the workplace arising from any

situation identified during the hazard identification process prior to

consideration or implementation of control measures.

Risk occurs when a person is exposed to a hazard. Risk is the likelihood

that exposure to a hazard will lead to injury or health issues. It is a

measure of probability and potential severity of harm or loss.

Step III: Risk Control

Risk control is the process used to identify, develop, implement and

continually review all practicable measures for eliminating or reducing

the likelihood of an injury, illness or diseases in the workplace.

Step IV: Implementation of risk controls

All hazards that have been assessed should be dealt in order of priority in


5/VI

one or more of the following hierarchy of controls

The most effective methods of control are:

i. Elimination of hazards

ii. Substitute something safer

iii. Use engineering/design controls

iv. Use administrative controls such as safe work procedures

v. Protect the workers i.e. by ensuring competence through supervision and

training, etc.

Each measure must have a designated person assigned for the

implementation of controls. This ensures that all required safety measures

will be completed.

Step V: Monitor and Review

Hazard identification, risk assessment and control are an on-going

process. Therefore regularly review the effectiveness of your hazard

assessment and control measures. Make sure that you undertake a

hazard and risk assessment when there is change to the workplace

including when work systems, tools, machinery or equipment changes.

Provide additional supervision when the new employees with reduced skill

levels or knowledge are introduced to the workplace.

A) RISK ANALYSIS

The risk assessment portion of the process involves three levels of site

evaluation:

a) Initial Site Evaluation,

b) Detailed Site Evaluation,

c) Priority Site Investigations and Recommendations.

The risk assessment criteria used for all levels of site evaluation take into

account two basic factors:

• The existing site conditions

• The level of the travelling public's exposure to those conditions.

The Initial Site Evaluation and Detailed Site Evaluation both apply

weighted criteria to the existing information and information obtained from

one site visit. The Initial Site Evaluation subdivides the initial inventory


6/VI

listing of sites into 5 risk assessment site groups. The Detailed Site

Evaluation risk assessment is then performed on each of the three highest

risk site groups in order of the group priority level of risk. The result of

the Detailed Site Evaluation process is a prioritized listing of the sites

within each of the three highest risk site groups.

Risk analysis is done for:

• Forecasting any unwanted situation

• Estimating damage potential of such situation

• Decision making to control such situation

• Evaluating effectiveness of control measures

6.2 RISK ASSESSMENT


8/VI

There are various factors, which can create unsafe working

conditions/hazards in mining of minor minerals from river bed.

The key risk (hazard x probability) event rating

The Risk rating of such hazards is as follows:

associated with sand bed

mining and to assess its consequences of such events occurring and the

likelihood based on above Table-2 are as:-

6.2.1 INUNDATION/FLOODING

The risk rating assigned to this activity is assigned as ‘4’ i.e., it is possible

and will have catastrophic with major consequences, if work started

without assessment of the river bed condition especially during monsoon

season. Inundation or flooding is expected and beneficial for these mines

as during this time only the mineral reserve gets replenished.

Measures to prevent consequences of Inundation/Flooding

Inundation of flooding is expected and beneficial for these mines as

during this time only the mineral reserve gets replenished.

1. During monsoon months and heavy rains the mining operations are

ceased.

2. There shall be mechanism/warning system of heavy rains and

discharges from the upstream dams at the site by interlinking it with

information received from District Authorities.

6.2.2 Quick Sand Condition

The risk rating assigned to this activity is assigned as ‘12’ i.e., it is an

unlikely event with major consequences as frequency of this risk is less

likely to occur.

Two things may create the conditions to form quicksand. Underground

water may seep-up and saturate the sand, thereby reducing the friction

between the sand grains and giving the sand a liquid nature. Or, sand or

another soil may be sifted by the force of an earthquake so that friction is

lessened and the earth becomes unsteady.


9/VI

This creates danger condition to the trucks plying near the river bed and

banks for transportation of minerals.

Measures to Prevent Quick Sand Condition

1. The only way to avoid quick sand condition is by avoiding mineral

lifting below water table.

2. Mining will be done in layers rather than going for maximum depth at

one time.

6.2.3 ACCIDENT DUE TO VEHICULAR MOVEMENT

The risk rating assigned to this activity is assigned as ‘13’ i.e., it is

possible event with moderate consequences as frequency of this operation

is more but the predicted/assumed intensity is less like minor cuts,

bodily injury. The possibilities of road accidents are due to reckless or

untrained driver or overloading of trucks or in case pathway is not

compacted suitably, etc.

Measures to Prevent Accidents during Transportation

1. All transportation within the main working should be carried out

directly under the supervision and control of the management.

2. The Vehicles will be maintained/ repaired and checked thoroughly by

the competent person.

3. A statutory provision of constant education, training etc. will go a

long way in reducing the incidents of such accidents.

4. Overloading will not be permitted and will be covered with tarpaulin.

5. The maximum permissible speed limit will be ensured.

6. The truck drivers will have valid driving license.

6.2.4 DROWNING

The risk rating assigned to this activity is assigned as ‘16’ i.e., it is a rare

accident but will have major consequences, if occurred. This may occur

due to flash floods etc due to which the workers at the site may get

seriously injured or drowned.


10/VI

Measure to Prevent Drowning

1. The mining will be done under strict supervision and only in the dry

part of the river.

2. Mining will be completely stopped in monsoon season to avoid such

accidents.

3. Deep water areas will be identified and ‘No Go Zones’ will be clearly

marked and made aware to the mine workers.

6.2.5 ACCIDENT DURING MATERIAL HANDLING & LOADING

The risk rating assigned to this activity is assigned as ‘18’ i.e. it is possible

event with minor consequences”, as frequency of this operation is more

but the predicted/assumed intensity is less like minor cuts, abrasion, etc.

may be due to river bank collapse, over thrown boulders/pebbles, injuries

due to carelessness use of hand tools, etc.

Measures to Prevent Accidents during material handling & loading

1. The truck should be brought to a lower level so that the loading

operation suits to the ergonomic condition of the workers.

2. The loading should be done from one side of the truck only to avoid

over throw of materials.

3. The workers should be provided with gloves and safety shoes during

loading.

All the activities will be done under strict supervision/control to avoid

anticipated accidents so that the risk is reduced to a level considered As

Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) conditions which are

DISASTERS & ITS MANAGEMENT

6.3.1 Anticipated Disasters

1. Floods: The area is not prone to floods. However care will be taken

to protect the bank and avoid flooding.

Precautionary measures will be taken to avoid the effects on the

workers at the site if the disaster occurs.


11/VI

2. Earth Quake: The lease area falls in seismic zone IV which is prone

to earthquakes. However there are no built in structures, which

could get affected by earthquake.

6.3.2 Disaster Management

This should deal with action plan for high risk accidents subsidence,

flood, inundation in underground mines, fire, seismic activities, tailing

dam failures etc. and emergency plan proposed for quick evacuation,

ameliorative measures to be taken etc. The capability of lessee to meet

such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local

authorities should be described.

The shallow depth of activities in river bed mining will not involve any

high risk accident due to side falls/collapse.

The complete mining operation will be carried out under the

Management and control of experienced and qualified Mines Manager


12/VI

having Certificate of Competency to manage the mines granted by

DGMS.

All the provisions of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules

1955, RMMCR 1986 and other laws applicable to mine will strictly be

complied with.

During heavy rainfall the mining activities will be closed.

All persons in supervisory capacity will be provided with proper

communication facilities.

Workers will be provided with FIRST AID facility which will always

kept at the site.

A person will be deputed to be in continuous touch with District/local

authority level office, for the timely dissemination of message like

releasing of water from dam (Hatnikund Barrage), heavy rainfall etc.

as received from IMD and take precautionary action to prevent any

consequential disaster.

“Disaster Warning System” as developed will be strictly implemented.

Identification of nearby hospitals with route & contact number for

emergency assistance.

Evacuation plan for the workers at site including contract labours will

be developed in nearby shelters.

“Emergency Helpline Number” will be displayed at all levels.

6.4 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE PROJECT & SAFETY

MEASURES

Impact on Demographic Composition

The proposed project will hardly make any difference in the demographic

composition of the study area as the additional employment it envisages

to create will be met locally to the maximum extent. Hence, the chances of

in-migration of people from outside the study area are remote.

Accordingly, there will be no variation in the total population of the study

area including that of sex ratio, when the mine starts operating.


13/VI

Employment Opportunities

The proposed Project will provide employment to the local people. It has

estimated that 65 people will get direct employment in this mining project.

It is a positive impact of the project since it is providing employment

opportunities to the local people.

Increased Supply of Sand in the Market

With the commencement of the proposed mining project the supply of

sand will increase and the gap between demand & supply will decrease to

some extent, if not fully.

Impact on Agriculture

There will be no negative impact on agriculture as no cultivation is taking

place on the proposed mining area. Since, scientific mining will be

adopted in the proposed mining project the area will be free from annual

floods, which destroy standing crops and land & property. This is a

positive impact of the proposed mining project.

Impact on Industrial Activities

Owing to the mining activities, the study area may witness industrial

uprising in the area. It is expected that few crushing unit will come up in

the area to convert the boulders into smaller particles viz. Bajri and sand.

Also expected are few glass manufacturing and tyre retreading units in

the neighborhoods.

Impact on Road Development

Movement of tractors-trolleys and other vehicles to and fro the mining site

is expected to increase substantially, when mining will start. The existing

roads connecting the quarry with the national and state highways are

mostly narrow mud roads. There will be mud slide and traffic bottle neck

if these roads are not widened and their conditions are not improved.

Hence, there is good scope for road development in the mining area.

Further, there are risks of accidents during loading of extracted minerals


14/VI

into tractors-trolleys and transportation to markets for sells. However,

accidents can be avoided by taking due care and precautions.

Income to Government

The proposed mining activity will benefit the State in the form of royalty,

dead rent, fees and earnings from taxes.

Impact on Law & Order

As most of the workers to be employed in the proposed mining project are

local residents no law & order problem is envisaged. It is expected that

the workers will attend to their duties from their residence and return to

their homes after the day’s work. There would have been law & order

problem if the workers were migrants and lived in shanties closed to the

mining area. However, to meet any untoward incident one police post may

be set up closed to the mining site.

Impact on Health

There are no chances of occurring diseases, due to manual mining of

sand. However, sand-using activities such as sand blasting require

precautions since it create respiratory problems among mine workers.

Excessive inhalation of sand is a serious health concern. To avoid

respiratory problem from sand necessary protection should be taken.

Few safety measures are outlined below:

a) Safe Working Environment: The project proponent shall ensure

health and safety of all the employees at work. Efforts will be made to

provide and maintain a safe work environment and ensure that the

16/VI

trade and business. With the implementation of the project the

occupational pattern of the people in the area will change making more

people engaged in mining, industrial and business activities rather in

agriculture. Thus there will be a gradual shifting of population from

agriculture to mining and industry. The study area is still lacking in

health and educational facilities. It is expected that same will improve to a

great extent with opening of the project and associated industrial &

business activities.

CHAPTER-VIII

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

PLAN


2/VIII

8.0 INTRODUCTION

To mitigate the adverse impact which is likely to be caused due to the mining

operation and overall scientific development of local habitat, Environmental

Management Plan (EMP) has been formulated and integrated with the mine

planning. The details of the anticipated impacts and mitigative measures

have been discussed in Section IV of this report, based on the results of

present environmental conditions and environmental impact assessment.

The EMP has therefore been made considering implementation and

monitoring of environmental protection measures during and after mining

operations.

The mitigation measures which reduce the impact have already been

identified earlier in this report in section IV. To minimize the adverse impact,

certain additional EMP measures are enumerated below for implementation.

8.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CELL (EMC)

It is imperative to establish an effective organization to implement, maintain,

monitor and control the environmental management system. A separate

Environmental Management Cell (EMC) will be formed to look after the

environment related matter of the mine. The structure of EMC is as follows:

Mines Manager

Manager (Environment)

Lab Incharge Environmental Engineer


3/VIII

The EMC will perform the following activities:

• EMC will oversee that environmental control measures are implemented

as per the plan.

• EMC will ensure ambient Field monitoring like air monitoring,

meteorological monitoring and noise monitoring in coordination with

outside agencies.

• Coordinating the environment related activities within the organization as well as with outside agencies.

• Reporting the status report to the statutory authorities.

• Systematically document and record keeping w.r.t. environmental issues.

• Plantation and their maintenance

• Collection statistics of health of workers and population of surrounding villages.

• Environmental compliance to the regulatory authorities.

• Communication with the concerned department on the environmental issue.

• Monitoring the progress of implementation of environmental management programme.

8.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) AND

IMPLEMEMNTATION

Environmental Management Plan involves functions that determines the

objectives, adoption of appropriate mitigation measures, protection of

ecosystems, enhancement of the quality of life for those affected, and

minimization of environmental costs (Barrow, 1999).

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been formulated with an

objective to mitigate the adverse impacts of any proposed project. This


4/VIII

includes an environmental policy on protection of environment and public

safety.

• Extraction will be done from the dry portion of river bed leaving

safety zone or barrier zone from shore of total of 1/4th of the width

of the river from the banks for bank as well as 50m from water line

of stream still flowing in dry season.

• Mining will be done in scientific and systematic manner.

• Mining will be confined within central 3/4th width of the river. This will

prevent collapse of bank and erosion.

1. The maximum working depth will remain above ground water table of the area:

Excavation above the water table will be done i.e. up to a maximum depth of

3m (or above ground water table, whichever comes first) from the surface

which will provide a depression that would get filled in with sediments

gradually in the monsoons.

2. Provide health facilities to the workers & surrounding people in

the impact area to reduce the health impacts: • Provision of dust filters / mask to workers working at dust prone and

affected areas.

• Conducting periodical medical checkup of all workers for occupation

related health problems.

• Awareness program for workers to make them aware of way of working

and various precautions to be taken while at work.

3. Ensuring wildlife protection & arranging awareness campaigns for

the same.

• No wildlife will be disturbed or chased away


5/VIII

• To avoid disturbance to the movement of the wild animals through the

transport route near the project area, sign boards will be placed detailing

the dangers caused and the sensitive locations.

4. Minimize activities that release fine sediment to the river:

No washing, crushing, screening, stockpiling, or plant operations will be

done at or near the streams. These and similar activities have the potential

to release fine sediments into the stream, making aquatic habitat conditions

harmful to local aquatic species.

5. Check on traffic load due to transportation & maintenance of

evacuation route:

• To the extent possible, evacuation route will not be through residential

areas so as to reduce the effect of dust emission and noise pollution from

vehicular movement.

• Alternate evacuation route by using the existing roads will be proposed to

avoid traffic congestion and further acquisition of land from farmers.

• A Monitoring Committee including Local Panchayat member may be

established to control traffic on evacuation route.

6. Effective mitigation measures will be adopted to minimize

disturbance during transportation & handling of minerals:

• The haul road will be kept wide, leveled, compacted and water will be

sprayed regularly to suppress fugitive dust.

• Evacuation routes will be repaired & maintained regularly.

• Utmost care will be taken to prevent spillage of minerals from the trucks

by checking overloading and covering it by tarpaulin sheets

• It will be ensured that all transportation vehicles will carry a valid PUC

certificate.


6/VIII

7. Establishment of reclamation program with plantation of

local/native & fast growing species:

• Plantation will be done along the road sides / near civic amenities in

consultation with the local authority/ Govt. bodies.

• It has also been proposed to plant along the river banks with plant

species which will hold the soil and check on erosion of the banks in

consultation with the local authority/ Govt. bodies.

• For plantation purpose, native/local plant species are proposed.

8. Establishment of restoration plan during the closure of mine at the

onset of monsoon season:

• Restoration of banks will be done.

• Ramps & temporary rest shelters will be removed prior to the closure of

mine.

• Restructuring/reconstruction of the natural bunds if damaged.

• Maintenance of flood embankments and spurs which will prevent erosion

of banks during monsoon.

9. Establishment of effective Disaster Management Plan to take

timely precautionary measures to avoid effects of impending

disasters:

Though mining will not be done during monsoon season for the proposed

project, yet disaster may be caused due to floods, earth quake etc.

• A person will be deputed to be in continuous touch with District/local

authority level office, for the timely dissemination of message like

releasing of water from dam (Hathnikund Barrage), heavy rainfall etc. as

received from IMD and take precautionary action to prevent any

consequential disaster.

• All the provision of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules 1955,

RMMCR 1986 and other laws applicable to mine will strictly be complied

with.


7/VIII

• “Disaster Warning System” will be developed in consultation with the

local authority/ Govt. bodies and will be strictly implemented.

• Identification of nearby hospitals with route & contact number for

emergency assistance.

• Evacuation plan for the workers at site including contract labours will be

developed in nearby shelters.

• “Emergency Helpline Number” will be displayed at all levels.

10. Establishment of effective Monitoring Program monitored by

Environment Management Cell:

A monitoring program will be provided illustrating any impacts to river

stability, riparian vegetation, ground & surface water, air, noise, soil quality

and post project sedimentation studies by expert bodies. Monitoring

schedule and budget allocation has been detailed Section-V.

The monitoring program will also assess & scrutinize the EMP proposed & its

implementation by the Environmental Management Cell (EMC).

Other precautionary measures like no cooking, no uprooting or chopping of

plants/trees, no throwing of wastes into the stream will also be checked

upon by the EMC.

8.4 BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION

Annual budget for EMC is very essential for successful implementation of

EMP. The fund allocated will not be diverted for any other purposes and the

top management will be responsible for this.

The following provisions are to be taken for improving, controlling and

monitoring of environmental protection measures:

questions/suggestions/objections if any.

The following questions were raised:-

1. Name: Employee, AVJ Infrastructure

Qucs: He said that AVJ Infrastructure has applied for NOC to the XEN of Irrigation

Department and they have objected in written that here mining is not allowed as it is very

dangerous in these areas. The contents of the letter is given as under:-

"AS requested by you the NOC for mining in Khasra No. 147, 148 and 149 cannot be granted

because these No. falls from Hathnikund Barrage to downstream Tajewala in front of Rest

House and RLDSE. Due to mining at these places there is dangers to HKB structure, Tajewala structure and entire RLDSE"

.. u

Reply: Dr. 5.S. Saini, Additional Deputy Commissioner, Yamuna nagar replied that this

objection is misquoted and Irrigation Department has withdrawn the ir objection through a

letter and Irrigation department has asked their higher authorities for their comments on

this. The comments will come in sometime and jf there are no negative comment than the

clearance will be approved. The contents of the letter is given as under:-

"The letter issued vide this office letter No. 5213·14/117-M dated 19.12.2014 for permission

of mining in Khasra No. 147, 148 & 149 is hereby withdrawn as necessary advice is being

taken from the higher authority in this respect"

2. Name: Smt. Fatma, Village: Tajewala. E)( Sarpanch

Ques: She endorsed the mining, and said that it should be started but should be done in a

scientific ways. She said that mining will help in preventing floods in these areas. She

requested for not allowing overloading of the trucks .

Reply: Dr. 5,5. Saini, Additional Deputy Commissioner, Yamunanagar said that overloading

will not be allowed and the mining will be done in the scientific ways only. He directed the

Project Proponent to follow this strictly, and asked the Mining, Pollution And Irrigation

Departments to ensure that the mining wilt be done in scientific way only.

3. Name: Sh. Gulab Singh, Village: Mumidi

Ques: He said that the Mining should not be on the Khasra Numbers which are near to the

Hathnikund Barrage and should be done only in the lower khasra numbers,those are away

from the Barrage. He said that the illegal mining is going on upper Khasra Numbers near to

the barrage.

Reply: Dr. 5.5. Saini, Additional Deputy Commissioner, Yamunanagar replied that the

mining will be done on the lower Khasra Numbers only as it is not allowed in upper Khasra

Numbers i.e. nearer to the Barrage. On illegal mining he said that it will not be allowed in

Haryana and the illegal mining that is happening is going on the Uttar Pradesh side.

4. Name: Sh. Pawan Malik, Village: Mumidi

Ques: He said that the dust partictes will be generated during mining activities and also due

to running of loaded trucks and it will spread in the environment and wilt settle on the

agricultural crops in the field due to which productivity and quality of crops wilt decrease. So

they should get compensation of this.

Reply: Sh. P.K Sharma, Regional officer, Yamunanagar region replied that the dust partictes

will not get spread in the environment due to mining activities as regular water sprinklers

will work and thus all the dust particles will be settled down. He asked the public to

approach the Pollution Control Board if they will have any complaints about the dust in

future and directed the Project Proponent to check this problem and asked them to do

mining in the scienlific way.

Detailed Disaster Management Plan

STATE PROFILE

1.1 General Haryana is a State in the northwest of India and was carved out of the Indian State of Punjab on

1st November 1966. With capital at Chandigarh which is administered as a Union Territory, this

north Indian land locked state is located between 27º 39' and 30º 35’N latitude and between

74º27' and 77º36' E longitude with just 1.37% of the total geographical area and less than 2% of

India’s population. Almost 1/3 of the total area of the state falls in the National Capital Region.

Haryana is an agrarian state whereas 85% of its area is under cultivation, engaging about 78% of

its population in agriculture. Haryana has carved a place of distinction for itself during the past

three decades, whether it is agriculture or industry, canal irrigation or rural electrification.

Haryana is among the most prosperous states in India, having one of the highest per capita

incomes in the country.

1.2 Administration The State is divided into four divisions for administrative purposes- Ambala, Rohtak, Gurgaon

and Hissar.Within these four divisions there are 21 districts viz. Ambala, Kurukshetra,

Panchkula, Yamuna Nagar, Faridabad, Palwal, Gurgaon, Mahendragarh, Mewat, Rewari,

Bhiwani, Fatehabad, Hisar, Kaithal, Sirsa, Jhajjar, Karnal, Panipat, Rohtak, Sonipat and Jind.

1.3 Geography Haryana has four main geographical features.

• Shivalik Hills to the north east

• Ghaggar Yamuna Plain forming the largest part of the state

• Semi- desert sandy plain in the south west

• Aravalli hills in the south.


1.4 Socio - Economic indices – Haryana

1.5 Physiographic Characteristics

Haryana as a whole is a plain area except some hills of Shivalik system in the northern and

Aravalli system in the southern parts of the state. For regional divisions, Haryana plain is a part

of the great plain namely Indo Gangetic plain which was formed by the deposition of Alluvium

brought by the Himalaya & Rivers. In this region i.e. Haryana plain three sub divisions have

been delineated.

The eastern Haryana plain Consisting the districts of Panchkula, Ambala, Yamuna Nagar,

Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Karnal, Panipat , Sonipat, Rohtak, Jhajjar & Jind is bordered by low hills

of shiwalik system & Himachal Pradesh in the northeast, Punjab in the west, by the Southern

Haryana plain in the south by western Haryana plain in the west and by Uttar Pradesh across the

Yamuna river and Delhi U.T. in the east. Shivalik tract consists of a broad tabled land, which is

composed of silt, sand, clay and conglomerates ranging in age from the middle Eocene to lower

Pleistocene. The slope is generally from north east to south west in which direction most of the

rivers flow. A large number of rain fed torrents flow down the outer slopes of the Shivalik and

spread much gravels and rebbles in their beds of these rivers and streams, the Yamuna, the

Ghaggar, the Markanda, the Chautang and the Shivalik are the important ones. The region is


divided of any perennial eastern part of the region. The rivers Ghaggar, Markanda, Saraswati and

Yamuna have their flood plains commonly known as khaddar or Bet areas. The soils of these

flood plains are river borne sand, silt.

The Western Haryana Plain makes its limits with Punjab in north, Rajasthan in the west and

southwest, southern Haryana plain in the south and the eastern Haryana plain in the east. It

covers the districts of Sirsa, Fatehabad, Hisar and Bhiwani. The region is different from eastern

Haryana plain & southern Haryana plain because of the presence of number of sand dunes of

varying heights & magnitudes wind erosion is active and water table in deep. The region is also

geographically known as “ Bhiwani Bagar ”. Only Ghaggar River drains the northern part of the

region and its flood plain bifurcate the Sirsa district. The region is important & cotton, grains &

oil seeds.

The Southern Haryana Plain comprising the districts of Mahendergarh, Rewari, Gurgaon and

Faridabad. Delhi is bounded by U.P. in east, by Rajasthan in the south and west and by western

Harayana Plain & eastern Harayana Plain in the north. It differs from the western Haryana Plain

because of the presence of Aravalli off shoots and its slopes towards the north in its western parts

and undulating character of the surface. The region also has dunes of varying size with Aravalli

offshoots in Mahendergarh & Rewari. While in Gurgaon or Faridabad, Aravalli off shoots are

responsible for undulation in the region. Number of small rainy seasonal rivulets carries the

water in Rajasthan in to southern Haryana. They represent the inland drainage. In view of the

small volume of water carried by them, they lack in potentialities for utilization on an extensive

scale. Sahibi valley project over Sahibi River is coming up. Here the litho logical diversity in

alluvial monotony has a strong bearing upon the distributional pattern of land use, cropping

pattern and crop production the undulating sandy plain of the southern Haryana is a scene of

dramatic development which will bring prosperity in the region.


Haryana at a Glance

2. DISASTER RISK PROFILE

Haryana State is vulnerable to a multitude of disasters and is categorized as a multi hazard

prone state. The state experiences various kinds of disasters of recurrent nature which result in

loss of life, livelihood and property (public and private), and disruption of economic activity,

besides causing immense misery and hardship to the affected population. Haryana is vulnerable

to Earthquake, Industrial & Chemical Disaster, Floods, Drought, Accidents, Fire, Health related

Disaster, Hailstorm, Bio Terrorism etc.

2.1 Earthquakes

Haryana falls in the seismic zone IV, III, & II and therefore, the region is vulnerable to

earthquakes. Although, in recent past, no major earthquakes have occurred in Haryana, yet

tremors have been felt whenever there is an earthquake in the Himalayan foot-hills.


The feet remains that the region is not free from potential affecting the region are:-1.The hidden

Moradabad fault

2.The Sohna fault

3.Junction of Aravali and Alluvium near Delhi

4.Mathura fault

5.Delhi Haridwar fault

Earthquakes have occurred during 1820-1988 with their epicenter between latitude 26.00 to

33.00 North and longitude 73.00 to 79.00 East within which the state of Haryana falls are around

125 of magnitude varying between 4.0 – 8 .0 on Richer Scale. In the last decade, towns of

Faridabad and Gurgaon being in proximity of Delhi have grown in the major residential-

industrial towns whereas the town of Panchkula has emerged as a major residential city of the

state. And all of them lie in earthquake zone IV. As a result of this, an unplanned development

which is not corrected and mainstreamed by means of preparedness /prevention/mitigation

measures will pose a greater challenge if an event occurs. The combination of moderate to high

hazard, high vulnerability and high exposure results in high level of disaster risk. It is understood

that a majority of inhabitants in Haryana and sectoral agencies involved in mainstream

development are not aware of the existing studies, hazards, risk and vulnerability and therefore

are not in a position to undertake suitable measures for preparedness and mitigation. In

additionthere is a lack of sharing of information amongst stakeholders and at times the existing

maps are not available for public use.


2.2 Floods

Floods have been a recurrent phenomenon in Haryana from time immemorial. Many part of the

state of Haryana are prone to flooding. The devastating floods hit Haryana many times. In 1977,

1978, 1980, 1983, 1988, 1993 and 1995, 1996 floods occurred in Haryana. Floods have been

causing extensive damage not only to standing crops but also loss of lives and cattle. The floods

in Haryana can occur because of some natural reasons such as its physiographic situation which

makes a depressional saucer shape zone around the Delhi-Rohtak-Hisar-Sirsa axis and it has a

poor natural drainage system and sometimes the heavy precipitation becomes a major


contributing factor in causing flood as such in case of Rohtak flood, 1995. The state receives an

average rainfall of about 650 mm. The average annual rainfall varies from less than 300mm in

the western and south western parts of Sirsa, Hisar and Bhiwani districts along the Rajasthan

border to over 1100mm in the north-eastern Shivalik hilly tracts of Panchkula and Yamunanagar

districts along Himachal Pradesh border The problem of floods is further accentuated by the

existence of human-made barriers like the networks of roads and canals, which obstruct the

natural flow of water and sometimes Drainage systems back up because they cannot cope up

with the volume of water or are blocked by rubbish and garbage. On the other hand

indiscriminate use of water for irrigation and deve lopment of low-lying areas and depressions

has also created problem of drainage congestion and water logging which create a havoc of

flooding. According to assessment of Rashtriya Barh Ayog and as reported by states to the 11th plan

working group, flood prone area in Haryana is 23.50 lakh hectares. In flood manual of

Haryana, there are 102 vulnerable points in Haryana which need special attention during

monsoon.


2.3 Drought

Where some parts of Haryana state is prone to flood, its some parts have been prone to drought

also. According to the October 1994 guidelines, 9 Blocks of Districts Mahendergarh and Rewari

and 28 Blocks of another 4 districts ( Bhiwani, Rohtak, Hisar and Sirsa) all falling on the western

and south-western side, and in all constituting about 1/3 of the state, fall in the DDAP/DDP

region. The reason behind this is that topography of the state is such that the districts of

Gurgaon, Mahendergarh, Rewari and part of Bhiwani and Jhajjar cannot be brought under

gravity canal commands. To overcome this difficulty, lift canal system with a total length of

1665 km, has been developed. The drought affected South-Western parts of the state occupied

sand dunes and Aravalli hills and not suitable for gravity flow irrigation, are provided with lift

irrigation system namely the Jui, Indira Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Birendra Narayan

Chakarvarti, Sahlawas and Jhajjar lift canals. There are four irrigation systems in the state,

namely Western Yamuna Canal, Bhakra Canal, Agra Canal and Ghaggar Canal. The Western

Yamuna Canal and Bhakra Canal system irrigate the major part of the state.

2.4 Hailstorms are also common phenomena in Haryana.

2.5 Winds The state experiences gusty winds, dust storms and thunderstorms during March to June. The

wind velocity recorded at Ambala and Hisar shows that from October to September, it is higher

(6.7 to 10.6 km/h) around Hisar than around Ambala (6.1 to 7.1 km/hr) but during post-monsoon

and winter.

Out of total geographical area of 44.23 lakh hectares in the state, about 50% area is severely

affected with the problems of erosion, alkalinity, salinity and water logging.

Soil erosion occurs mainly due to water and wind. The soil erosion through water occurs mainly

in the areas falling in Shivalik foothills and in Aravalli ranges. It is estimated that about 5.50

lakh hectare area is affected with this problem. About 12 lakh hectare area is affected with wind

erosion which occurs mainly in sandy and dry belt areas of the state. An area of 2.32 lakh

hectares is affected with the problem of alkalinity and 2.55 lakh hectares with salinity and water


logging.

2.6 Other forms of Disasters High pollution levels, Contamination of ground water and surface water, and heavy metals and

pesticide contamination of soil etc. are emerging classes of man-made and environmental

hazards. About 3766 sq km area in Haryana is underlain by saline groundwater. Hisar,

Kaithal, Gurgaon have been identified as endemic to flurosis due to abundance in natural

occurring fluoride bearing minerals.

Haryana has also a history of industrial and road/rail/air accidents such as Air Accident

(Charkhi-Dadri 1995), Rail Accident at Ballabgarh, Dabwali Fire (1995), Sonipat Fire (1998),


and recent Bomb explosion caused fire in Samjhota Express 2007. In addition to this the threat of

Global Warming and its resultant climatic variations such as inter seasonal variations in

rainfall; environmental issues and effect on wheat and rice production increase the vulnerability

of the state. Issues related to rapid urbanization and waste disposal are assuming a gigantic

proportion. 3. INSTITUTIONAL SETUP

3.1 Haryana State Disaster Management Authority and District Disaster

Management Authorities

Haryana State Disaster Management Authority and District Disaster Management Authorities

have been constituted on 9-10-2007 as per provisions of Disaster Management Act, 2005. As per

provisions of this Act Executive Committee has been constituted. Regular meetings of SEC are

being held for approval of issues related to DM and monitoring of the decisions. The state has

notified DM Rules in August 2010. The State Advisory Committee has been constituted and first

meeting of the Committee is proposed. State and District Crisis Group has been formed and first

meeting of the State Crisis Group was held on 15 th November, 2011. At the district level,

District Crisis Group meets at regular intervals.

3.2 Emergency Operation Centre

In Faridabad, first Emergency Operation Centre of the State has been inaugurated. The

foundation stone of Multi Purpose Hall which have Emergency Operation Centre, Control

Room& Training/conference hall, Civil Defence store room, has been laid down by Dr. Rakesh

Gupta, Deputy Commissioner, and Faridabad on 7th May, 2012. The initiative was a result of a

collaborative approach. Civil Defence, revenue Department, Fire Department, District

Information Office will play a significant role in its establishment. It has staff includes Chief

Controller (Fire Deptt), Tech. Assistant (DIO), Operator (Fire Deptt), Store keeper (Civil

Defence) and other Clerical staff. Besides this, the District will make effort to establish DDMA

Website, 08 specialized search and rescue teams, a robust alarm system for a close to zero

response time and release of District Disaster Management Plan, Flood Management Plan and

the EOC Manual.


3.3 Centres for Disaster Management

Centre for Disaster Management was established at the Haryana Institute of Public

Administration (HIPA) as its integral part on 1st July 1994 under the Central Sectoral scheme of

the Natural Disaster Management Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India.

The aim of the Centre is to promote prevention, mitigation, and preparedness, Emergency

Response and recovery among the state officials and other stakeholders in the field of Disaster

Management.

Disaster Management Plan for the proposed project

This should deal with action plan for high risk accidents subsidence, flood, inundation in

underground mines, fire, seismic activities, tailing dam failures etc. and emergency plan

proposed for quick evacuation, ameliorative measures to be taken etc. The capability of lessee to

meet such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local authorities should be

described.

The shallow depth of activities in river bed mining will not involve any high risk

accident due to side falls/collapse.

The complete mining operation will be carried out under the Management and control

of experienced and qualified Mines Manager having Certificate of Competency to manage

the mines granted by DGMS.

All the provisions of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules 1955, RMMCR

1986 and other laws applicable to mine will strictly be complied with.

During heavy rainfall the mining activities will be closed.

All persons in supervisory capacity will be provided with proper communication

facilities.

Workers will be provided with FIRST AID facility which will always kept at the site.

A person will be deputed to be in continuous touch with District/local authority level

3.2.2 LOCAL GEOLOGY

The Latitudes and Longitudes of mine lease area are 300 17'32.32''N to 300 16'58.50''N and

77°33'8.40"E to 77·32'49.93"E respectively on toposheet number 53F/l1.

The litho units encountered in the riverbed and surrounding areas belongs to the Shivalik

super groups. The sediments are river borne and has deposited in the riverbed and the

flood plains.

The different formation s of the area belong to Sh ivalik Super group and are a mixture of

boulders, pebbles, sand, silt and cl ay. The following sequences have bee n observed in the

area.

Soil / Alluvium

Sand

Gravel

Boulder

There is no clear demarcation between the litho un its. They have been deposit in a mixed form.

The Litho- units exposed around the riverbed belong to Shivalik Super- Group. The mineral

Sand is an essential minor mineral used extensively across the country as a useful construction constituent

and va riety of other uses in sports, agricu lture, glass making (a form of sand with high si lica content) etc. It

is common knowledge that mineral s are non-renewable but this form of mineral naturally gets replenished

from time to time in a given river syst em and is very much interrelated to the hydrological cycle in a river

basin.

The Rivers originating from the Himalayas bring with them lots of aggregate materials whereas as they

move downstream, only finer elements / minerals like sand are found in abundance. River Yamuna near

Dakpathar barrage leaves Uttarakhand and enters Himachal Pradesh.

The YAMUNA RIVER is the biggest t ributary of the river Ganga in No

glacier at an elevation of 6387 mtrs on South western sides of Ban

ranges. The overa ll span of the Yamuna river is 1376 Kms (855

have grea ter influence on sediment yield than either mean annual runoff or drainage area. Nevertheless,

these equations provide a first approximation to be of sediment yield for watershed planning purposes.

Calculation of Sediment Yield for bou lder, gravel &Sand Mine of Yamunanagar Unit-l

Yamuna nagar Unit-1 comprises of one mining quarries

The total production proposed is 10.154 Lakh MT

• Area under riverbed: 48.97

• Drainage ba sin area of river Yamuna and is tributaries in Haryana : 8214 square miles

• Normal Annual Rainfall of Yamunanagar district (1978 to 2005) :1076mm or 42.36 inch

With above inputs, the calculation of the sediment yield by the Dandy and Bolton formula is illustrated

below:

Sample S.No. Q {in inches} A (in square mile) 5 5 = 1965 e-0.055Q[1.43 - O.26Iog(A)) I 1 3.5 150 1400.823

Set 2 27.4 8214 179.4756

With above formula the value of S; 76.40 T/mile square/annum

Therefore th e Total Sedimen t Yield for drainage basin of 8214 square mile wi ll be; 8214 x 76.40; 6.27 lac T

per annum.

Dandy & Boltan formula also says that actual sediments yield from ind ividual drainage basins may vary 10-

fold or even 100 fold from computed yie lds. Since itinerary of river Yamuna indicates that its basis

comprises of sediment rocks with good average rainfall therefore there are fair chances of yield of

sed iments to be 50 fold of computed results hence Actua l Sed iment Yield will be : 627000 T x 50 fo ld ;

3,13,50,000 T / Annum

inary

25

sediment yields normally would be low for highly erosive area and high for well stabilized drainage basins

with high plant density. Factors which have direct bearing on sediments yield & limitations of Dandy &

Bolton equation.

Sed iment yield of a sediment basin has direct impact of local terrain, climate, vegetation, soi ls, agricultural

practices & land use pattern of catchment area of the sediment basin afo resa id factors varies from basin to

basin therefore, Dandy & Bolton has category stated that use of the equation to predict sediment yield for

a specific location would be unwise because of the wide variability caused by loca l factors not considered in

the equation development. Actual sediment yield form individual drainage basins may vary lO-fold or even

lOO-fold from computed yields.

3.2.7 Grade & Use of ( Boulder, gravel & sand)

Boulder, gravel & sa nd is made of quartz or quartzite/its microcrystalline cousin chalcedony,

because that common mineral is resistant to weathering. Boulder, gravel & sands contain quartz,

feldspar grains, tiny bits of rock (Iithics), or dark minerals like ilmenite and magnetite.

The size of the sediments is variable . The grains whether small or large are rounded in shape.

Sand, bould er and gravel are mainly grey, brown in color,coarse to fin e grained. The present

deposits are of good quality and can be used for building industries . There is no other use of this

material.

e) Metalled roads pass t hrough the lease area. A safety zone of 50 m on each side of roads is

earmarked. In this zone no activities wi ll be conducted.

f) A barrier of 7.5 m width will be left from the lease boundary, if falling in the river bed.

g) Rive r is not having any water fl ow during post monsoon period and sa nd bed remains dry.

h) Mineral reserves are ca lcu lated up to 3 m depth from river bed surface Rl.

All reserves are proved reserves . Details are given as below.

Methods of est imation of reserves :-

For estimating the reserve of mineral deposits i.e . Boulder, Gravel and Sa nd the fo llowing

Parameters are considered

Sediments of various sizes are in mixed form and predom inantly deposited in the river bed and

outside the river bed . There is no perfect classification between boulders, cobbles, pebbles and

sa nd . They are deposited in a mixed state. The cla ssifica t ion is done by grab mining and the

sediments are passed through different sieves in the screening plants.

The reserves are calculated on the basis of established width, thickness and strike

length/influence of the mineralized formation in the area. The area is further subdivided in to sub

blocks to ensure the syst ematic & scientific mining of the area.

1. The entire reserves of Boulder, Gravel and Sand up to the depth of 3.0 m are ca lculated.

2. The bulk density of boulder, gravel and Sand is considered 2.00

3. The reserves of Boulder, Gravel and Sand ca lculated by vo lumetric method and are

MEASURES FOR PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT IN AND AROUND MINING LEASE AREA

Dry bed mining wil l on ly be ca rri ed out.

Mining activiti es will be confined to 3.0 m depth from surface level of river bed.

All link road s from th e mining area to th e tar road will be properly sprayed with water for dust

suppression.

• Greenbelt and plantation on road side and rive r banks w ill help in dust suppression and w ill also

reduce noi se level.

• Plantation w ill improve ecology and aesthetic beauty of the area

• Measures will be taken to prevent th e workings from extending in safety zones, cutting the banks

and exceeding 3.0 m depth limit from th e river bed surface.

Controlling of NO. level

The source of NO. is due to vehicular emission. This can be controlled by proper maintenance and

se rvicing of vehicles. Only P.U.C. certificated vehicles wi ll be permitted

Noise Pollution

There is no drilling and blasting for mineral extraction . Noise pollution due to transportation will

not cause any problem to the inhabitants of this area because t here is no human settlement in

close proximity to the link roads in lease area.Effective steps w ill be taken to keep the noise level

well below the DGMS prescribed limit of 85 dBA.

schedule given earlier. These blocks will be working as se lf susta ined units with all faciliti es like site

office, rest shelter, first aid and drinking water etc. All these blocks will be connected suitably with

communication system.

Light weight excavators will be deployed for extraction. Mineral will be removed in 3.0 m layer on ly

forming one bench. This is as per the digging depth of the equipments. Mineral will be loaded in

tru cks of 25 tons capacity. Trucks and eq uipments will be on hire basis. There wi ll be no OB or

waste generation as the sand is exposed in the river bed.

Bench wi ll advance parallel to the banks of the river. Height of bench will be 3.0 m. Width of the

bench will be around 20.0 m. Workings w ill be restricted within the lease areal khasra as per the

description report given by Mining Department. Mining act ivities wi ll be carried out in a manner so

that the re is no obstruction to the movement of water flow, if any, during rainy season. The bench

will be in the form of slices/ strips parallel to the banks of the river. Roads in the lease area for the

movement of loaded trippers/ trucks wi ll not have slopes more than 1 in 20.However, movement

of trucks after mineral loading will be toward s both sides through approach roads connecting to tar

2.1.2 LOCAL GEOLOGY

The litho unitsencountered in the ri ve rbed and surround ing areas belongs to the Shivalik super

groups. The sed iments are river borne and has deposited in the riverbed and the flood plains.

The different formations of the area belong to Shivalik Super group and are a mixture of boulders,

pebb les, sand, silt and clay. The fo llowing sequences have been observed in the area.

Soil/Alluvium

Sand

Gravel

Boulder

There is no clear demarcation between the lit ho un its. They have been deposit in a mixed

form . The Litho- units exposed around the riverbed belong to Shivalik Super- Group. The mineral

Bou lders, Gravel and sand have formed by weathering of rocks and than deposition on the f lood

plains of the rivers originated from the Shivaliks. These have been washed by rainwater during

rainy season and deposited in river bed in the form of boulders, gravels and sand of different sizes

and shapes. These minerals are sorted by screening. Th e max depth of the minerals is not known.

Soil/ alluvium va rying in thickness from 2-4m constitute the top horizons in the area su itable for

agricu lture. Yamuna River meanders through the area exposing the alluvium and soil at the banks.

Boulder, gravel & sand is found in the ri ve r bed. Thickness of Boulder, gravel & sand is more than

lOmeters. This bed is presently dry and water flows only during the rainy season The Sand

For estimating the reserve of Sand the following

Parameters are considered as follows:

4. The reserves are calculated on the basis of established Width, thickness and strike

length/influence of the mineralized fo rm ation in the area .

5. The entire reserves of Sand up to the depth of 3.0 m are ca lculated.

6. The bulk density of Boulder, Gravel and Sand is considered 2.0

7. The reserves of Sand calculated by volumetric method and are summarized here below:

2.3 Mining Method

Mining meth od to be fo llowed is described in chapter of mining at 7.1 in mi ning plan.

2.4 Mineral Beneficiation

No minera l beneficiation is envisaged.

3.0 Review of implementation of mining plan including five years progressive closure plan up

to the fina l closure p lan

Mining Plan and Progressive mine closure plan are being submitted for the first time. It wi ll be

reviewed after five years and review of implementation w ill be given with next mining scheme.

4.2 Water quality management

The only river Yamuna flows in the north-western part of the district which originates in

Himayayas and drain the district. The genera l slope of the land surface is From NE to SW.

The genera l phygiograpy of the Lease area is gently slop ing from N E to SW side

indicating the flow direction of river.

There is no flow of water in the river bed in post monsoon period.Area is having 1076 mm

rainfall in a year. During rainy season, catchment water flows in the river. During dry

period the Bould er, gravel & sand is excavated which gets replenished to some extent

during this period. No mining activities wi ll be carried out during rainy season when there

is water flowing in the working area.

There will be no intersection of water table as working will be carried out upto 3.0 m depth

only from surface of river bed while the water level is 10 m below the surface of river bed .

4.3 Air Quality Management:

The proposed mining method is not likely to produce much of dust and fugitive emissions to cause

damage to ambient air quality of the area .Workers will be provided with person nel protective

equipment like facemask, ea r plug/ muffs.

For air pollution management of mine, greenbelt will be ai r

pollution.
