use for lubrication of equipment, so that nothing

falls on ground to contaminate soil. Equipment is

being/will be kept well maintained to keep them

leakage free. The used oil sold to authorize

vendors.

7.2 From discharge of sewage or other

effluents to water or the land

7.3 By deposition of pollutants emitted

to air into the land or into water

Yes Dust is generated by movement of

dumpers/dozers, drilling operations, blasting

operations, excavation, loading and unloading,

crushing and screening operations. There is likely

hood of increase of SPM & RPM concentration

(which may affect surrounding land or water).

Impact referred above is localized, transitory in

nature, and hence their effect on environment is

insignificant.

7.4 From any other sources No Not envisaged

7.5 Is there a risk of long term build up

of pollutants in the environment

from these sources?

No Impact on air quality is localized, transitory in

nature. Small quantity of heat generated by diesel

engine is dissipated to the atmosphere.

No likely impact on surface water is envisaged.

It is proposed to cover matured dumps with

plantation. Also garland drain and silt check pits

around dumps would be developed to stop long-

term adverse effect to surrounding environment.

• Extractive industries

• Supply industries

• Other

Yes The establishment of Mines, Cement plant, township

and related infrastructure facilities has led to socio-

economic development of the area.

Educational and medical facilities have been set up

and infrastructure facilities have improved.

Direct & indirect employment opportunities will

improve the living standards of the local population.

9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which

could have an impact on the

environment

Yes The area will benefit from the development activities

associated with the project. The cessation of mining

shall leave pits which shall be backfilled to the extent

possible. The balance pits will be converted to

reservoirs. Plantation & greenbelt development will

be done which will improve the green cover of the

area.

9.3 Set a precedent for later

developments

Yes A better after use scenario which is likely to increase

aesthetic beauty of area in addition to benefit of

better water regime & greenery would set a

precedence for subsequent entrepreneurs who

venture such projects.

9.4 Have cumulative effects due to

proximity to other existing or

No No cumulative effect is envisaged.

(IV) Proposed Terms of Reference for EIA studies:

This proposal is for amendment with respect to ultimate working depth & life of mine in

existing Environmental Clearance granted by MoEF & CC, New Delhi, for the project vide letter

no. .J-11015/622/2007-IA.II (M) dated 26.08.2008, as the reassessment of the deposit has lead to

increase in limestone reserves and subsequent increase in the ultimate working depth & life of

mine.
