11. Coal production by Surface miner

1. Installation of dry fog system for dust suppression at all the CHPs.

2. All the permanent coal transportation roads will be made of rigid concrete pavement and installation of fixed water sprinkler/ atomizer beside the road.

3. Transportation of coal from CHP to railway siding Silo by belt conveyor there by avoiding road transportation.

4. Producing maximum coal (about 90%) by surface miner which is considered to be one of the most eco-friendly equipment. By using surface miner drilling and blasting are completely eliminated. As water spraying is done along with the water injecting system hence there is no chances of dust generation during cutting and loading of coal.

5. Thickness and area of greenbelt will be further increased to prevent propagation of dust from the dust generation sources.

6. Using water atomizer the railway siding and other places to deal and control

transmission of data of the water monitoring as mentioned above.

Rise in ambient temperature and Combating thermal pollution

Occurrences of spontaneous heating/ fire in the mine/coal stocks are negligible which may contribute to rise in Ambient temperature. However the following actions have been taken for dealing with fire/spontaneous heating.

(a) About 80% coal is produced by cutting through surface miners, thereby reducing the cracks & loose coal which ultimately prevent oxygen to enter into the coal seams, thereby reducing fire/spontaneous heating in the coal seam.

(b) Coal stock has been continuously reduced to have the minimum exposure of coal to the air. On 1st April’ 2012 coal stock was 20.69 lakhs te. which is reduced to 11.03 lakhs te. on 31st Oct. 2014.

(c) Firefighting arrangement is in place to deal with fire in the mine if any. A scheme/plan for control & dealing with fire is in place.

It is intended to increase the coal production by surface miner (which is considered as one of the eco-friendly system of mining) to about 90% of total production.

Noise pollution due to drilling and blasting

There is no Noise/ vibration pollution in this Mine. The noise & vibration is negligible in this mine as about 80% coal production comes from surface miner where no drilling, blasting or crushing is required. Hence no vibration is occurred. Further rest about 20% coal production where drilling/ blasting is involved, delay detonators is used for reducing the vibration. The Plants & machineries including HEMM are having in-built noise pollution control measures. The noise level is also measured fortnightly in four monitoring stations around the mine. The monitoring reports show that noise level are always within the prescribe limit.

Ground water depletion

Declining of ground water is temporary phenomenon and is limited in aerial extent around quarry area. After backfilling of the mine pit surrounding ground water level will be restored. Rain water harvesting system is already existing at six locations. Renovation and revitalization of near by nine (9) no. of ponds have been done.

Rain water harvesting system will be constructed and installed in all the residential buildings and other service buildings

Plantation of fruit bearing trees

30% of trees planted in the mine are of fruit bearing varieties. Beside that every year fruit bearing sapling are distributed among the employees of Lingaraj OCP, Lingaraj Area and the local villagers to plant in their resident to make the area green. Total plantation made till date is 329609 nos. Plants are maintained for 5 years at the cost of MCL so that by this time the plants become self-sustaining to survive on their own.

Same will continue.

Employment opportunity for local Youth. Service or pollution grant to be provided to each resident of Talcher within 5 km radius of mine.

Till 01.01.2015 a total number of 1043 persons have been offered permanent employment/cash compensation in lieu of employment/annuity in the project. Detail is given in R&R head.

It is continuous process which is being done on regular basis.

Health and education facilities in the area. Health insurance of Rs. 5 lakhs to be provided to the residence of Talcher within 5 km radius of the mine.

Regular health camp is organized in nearby villages for free check up of the villagers and some medicines are also distributed free of cost. No. of health camps organized is as below: 2012-13 = 04 Health camps 2013-14 = 12 Health camps 2014-15 = 11 Health camps Regarding health insurance this is to mention that the environment surrounding the Lingaraj OCP is kept as good as possible by providing the environment mitigation measures as mentioned earlier in this report. Hence, health problems due to Lingaraj OCP cannot be accepted as mentioned by some people in the meeting. However, treatment facilities in N.S.Central Hospital are provided to the local villagers either at nominal cost (Rs. 2.00 per visit). Construction and maintenance of schools of nearby villages are made under CSR head. Expenditure in this head for three years is Rs. 56.37 lakhs. Besides that, 3 schools with classes up to 12th standard and one Nursing School are run by MCL with 100% sponsorship to increase the education level in the area.

The same practice will be continued. However, a medical college is proposed to be established at Talcher by 100% sponsorship by MCL.

Proper utilization of CSR fund

Proposals pertaining to CSR works are received through Gram Panchayate/ Panchayate Samiti/ Municipality directly or through BDO/Sub-Collector/Collector at different levels i.e. either at Project level/Area kevel or HQ level. All such proposals are put in front of CSR Committee for co-ordination & scrutiny. After no objection from CSR Committee, only agreed works are taken for CSR activities for estimation and tendering process. It is guided by CSR policy of MCL / CIL. Fund is allocated on 2% of the average net profit of the company for the three immediate preceeding financial year or @ Rs. 2 per tonne of the coal produced in the previous year whichever is higher.

The same practice will continue.

Kandhal village panchayat should be considered as adopted village for all benefits.

Maximum benefit is given to the Kandhal Gram Panchayat by Lingaraj OCP. Total work done in Kandhal Gram Panchayat under CSR head is Rs. 12930180 (Rs. One crore twenty nine lakhs thirty thousand one hundred eighty) till August 2014. Besides that maximum employment (more than 90% of total 1043 employment) has been given to the persons from the Kandhal Gram Panchayat. However, provision exists under CSR policy of MCL for adopting nearby villages provided they satisfy certain criteria.

MCL will do its best to improve the existing living conditions in the kandhal village.

Proper rehabilitation arrangement by making villages of displaced people.

As per the R&R policy of Govt. of India, displaced people are provided plots in the resettlement site having all basic infrastructure for colonial living. In the said policy there is also provision for interested displaced families to be settled in an area of their own choice by taking compensation in lieu of plots which is presently Rs. 725000 /- per family and increases with inflation index. Further, MCL is also providing the basic amenities like electricity, water, road and drainage system in the area where more than 20 displaced families are settled on their own choice. In addition to that, infrastructures etc. are constructed where displaced families are settled along with nearby villages.

More amenities will be provided by MCL to improve the living standards of the land oustees residing at R&R colonies.

Land acquisition should be made under LA Act and not under CB Act.

CB Act is enacted by the parliament specifically for acquisition of land by Govt. companies or PSUs where coal exists. This act has a provision for transfer of all rights including mining rights to the user agency at one go, where as in LA act when land is acquired for mining, a mining lease is required to be taken under MC Rules which lingers the process of acquisition and thereby delay the transfer of benefits to the affected people. However, the land under LA Act is also acquired where the land is required for development of infrastructures only.

No additional land is required.

People whose lands have been acquired should be brought under Swarna Yojana Package.

All persons who have been displaced after 15.05.2010 are covered under Swarna Yojana Package as per the conditions stipulated in the said package.

Action is already being done.

2.2 PROJECT PROFILE 2.2.1 TYPE OF THE PROJECT

It is a running opencast project.

2.2.2 JUSTIFICATION FOR EXPANSION OF THE PROJECT

The overall demand of coal on MCL, based on coal linkage SLC (LT) by the

end of XI plan has been assessed to be 158.34 Mt against availability of 138.40 Mt.

Thus there is a gap of 19.94 Mt of coal.

(Fig. in Mt.)

Demand Availability Gap

Talcher coalfield 107.06 90.97 16.09

Ib Valley coalfield 51.28 47.43 3.85

Total : 158.34 138.40 19.94

There is possibility of recommending more additional linkages over and

above the already recommended linkages. The production from the proposed

Lingaraj OC Expn. Project will go towards meeting the gap between demand and

availability. Demand of coal from this coalfield is likely to rise further since more

number of TPS may be linked to this coalfield.

Mining technology Considering the geo-mining conditions, shovel-dumper system of mining has been envisaged. However, blastless mining (e.g. contractual surface miners), where dust generation is minimal and negligible will be adopted in this project.

Existing shovel dumper mining is envisaged to continue for expansion project as the area is affected with multiple faults (33 nos.)

Coal winning, OB removal and transportation

For coal winning and transportation, shovel-dumper system and blast free mining (e.g. contractual (4 no.) surface miners) are used. For OB removal and transportation, shovel-dumper system is deployed (Annexure IV).

Existing shovel dumper system will be followed for the expansion project. Incremental coal production by blast free method using additional surface miner (2 No.). Existing shovel dumper system will be continued. It is envisaged to deploy 100 T and 50 T rear dumpers towards additional requirement to reduce fleet size. Both 50 T and 100 T dumpers are deployed in conjunction with 4.3 hydraulic backhoe. While 9.5 cum. Hydraulic shovel dumper would work with 100 T near dumper.

Pumping and drainage Existing 13.0 Mty

Sufficient number of pumps including special

type of slurry pump provided for dewatering of

mine.

For 16.0 Mty (Peak 20.0 Mty) (i.e. 7.0 Mty

incremental)

In the expansion the area and the maximum

depth of the mine are almost same as that of

approved earlier. Hence, no additional provision

for pumps, pipes and fittings etc.

Power supply Existing 13.0 Mty

Presently the power is being received from Nandira

132/33 kV sub-station of MCL by single circuit over

head line. For Lingaraj OC Expansion project (13.0

Mty), the power has been received by double circuit

overhead lines at 33 kV from above 132 / 33 kV

substation of MCL after necessary strengthening of

existing circuit for feeding to the project sub-station

(Annexure III).

For 16.0 Mty (Peak 20.0 Mty) (i.e. 7.0 Mty

incremental)

For Lingaraj OCP 16 Mty (peak 20 Mty) the same

double circuit overhead line at 33 kV from 132/33 kV

sub-station shall continue.

CHP & despatch arrangement

Existing 13.0 Mty Proposed prodn. 16. 0 Mty (Peak 20 Mty)

� Presently ROM coal is being crushed to (-)200

The proposed system will be consisting of the following sub-systems :

CMPDI


mm size through 6 nos. feeder breaker circuits. Out of the above circuits, 2 No. are located near the quarry mouth and the remaining 4 No. are located at quarry bed.

� After crushing, coal is loaded into 6 sets of 2 x 100 t overhead hoppers.

� Coal from the hopper is then transported by contractor’s trucks and unloaded at the wharf wall siding located near to the proposed MGR bulb of NTPC.

� Further some quantity of coal is transported to jagannath 5 & 6 sidings.

� The existing wharf wall siding has been taken off from the dedicated tracks of the NTPC.

� Coal stored on the wharf wall platform is loaded by payloaders. Trucks from CHP weighed over 40 t capacity road weigh bridges.

� Coal after being loaded into the wagons is again weighed by in – motion rail weigh bridges installed close by. Coal sampling is done manually.

� No coal handling plant (CHP) has been provided for incremental of 3 Mty production as coal cut to (-) 100 is available contractually. Similarly, coal transport is done contractually.

i) Crushing complex (Feeder breaker circuits existing) ii) Secondary crushers

(Proposed )

iii) Belt conveyor system iv) Storage

v) Tramp metal detectors and magnetic separators vi) Rapid loading system

vii) Weighment

viii) Sampling

� Existing mine uses departmental 5 cum electric rope shovel (4 nos.),

3.7 cum (2 no.) electric hydraulic shovel, 4.3 cum electric hydraulic

backhoe(2 nos.) and 2.7 … 2.8 cum hydraulic backhoe(4 nos.) with 50 T

rear dumpers(49 nos.) for OB removal. Coal is extracted by

outsourcing agency by blast free technology (use of surface miner).

Considering presence of:

(i) Multiple coal seams (13 nos.)

(ii) Highly faulted structure (33 faults)

(iii) Step gradient (10o to 15o)

It is proposed to provide hydraulic excavator to offer more flexible

operation. 9.5 cum-hydraulic shovels and rear dumpers 100T are

envisaged towards the requirement of additional equipment. 9.5 cum

hydraulic shovels would be mainly deployed to extract top overburden

alongwith upper thick parting strata viz. partings above seam VII, seam

VIII and seam IX. Coal is proposed to be extracted by outsourcing

using blast free mining.

In this expansion project, additional requirement is assessed over the

above existing HEMM. This requirement is based on the production

schedule prepared, productivity of existing and proposed HEMM. The

details of total and phased requirement for the project with break-up of

existing and additional HEMM are given in the below table.

2.14 STRENGTHENING OF EXISTING TRANSPORTATION ROAD

Due to steep gradient of mine floor faults and present access road it is not

possible to lay the main haul road on mine floor. After decoaling upto seam II Bottom

in northern part it is proposed to extend the existing haul road duly filling the

decoaled area. Lower seams have to be brought to the nearest road level by

interbench ramps. Flank level roads are proposed to connect the various working

benches. Overburden from various benches would be transported along the bench

and connecting ramps to nearest level flank road either to external or internal dump.

Approved project report provided 50T rear dumpers for transportation of both

coal and overburden. In this expansion report, it is envisaged to deploy 100T and 50T

rear dumpers towards additional requirement to reduce the overall fleet size. Both

50T and 100T dumpers are deployed in conjunction with 4.3 hydraulic backhoe, while

9.5cum hydraulic shovels would work with 100T rear dumpers only.

About Rs.977.82 lakhs provision has been kept for making 100T dumpers

haul road to about 2.0 km length. Apart from this an amount of Rs.498.45 lakh for

50T dumpers haul road length of 2.0 km length.

DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT 3.1 PRESENT ENVIRONMENTAL SCENARIO

The present environmental scenario has been described in this chapter in

respect of ambient air quality, water and effluent quality, noise level measurement,

land use/cover pattern, socio-economic scenario, bio-diversity, hydrogeology and

places of religious, historical archaeological importance.

3.2 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY

Baselined data w.r.t ambient air quality had been generated by

M/s.Richardsons & Cruddas (1972) Ltd., Chennai … 78. Pre-monsoon season March

2013 to June 2013. The above data has been given in this chapter with the following

objectives:

� To assess the present air quality in the buffer zone to provide the basis

for study of short-term as well as long-term trends of pollutant

concentration when the mine will reach its full production capacity.

� To provide the baseline data for subsequent development of air

pollution prevention and control programme. The present ambient air

quality assessment deals with the following items:

� Inventory of existing pollution sources

� Present ambient air quality study

3.2.1 INVENTORY OF EXISTING POLLUTION SOURCES

The existing pollution sources along with the pollutants are given belows:

Table-3.1: Inventory of existing pollution sources

Source Major

Pollutants

(A) From existing OCPs/OCMs

Drilling, blasting, transportation, loading and unloading of OB and coal, OB dump formation, OB dump and coal stack surfaces, movement of vehicles, operation of HEMMs besides fire in coal faces and coal stacks

PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOX

CMPDI


Source Major

Pollutants

(B) From existing U/G mines

Exhaust mine air besides loading, unloading and transportation of coal

PM10, PM2.5,

(C) Non-mining activities

Road traffic, Talcher Thermal Power Plant (NTPC) & burning of fuel for domestic purposes

PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOX

The mining and other industrial activities along with non-mining activities like

road traffic, burning of coal for domestic and commercial purposes, etc. are the

potential sources of the ambient air pollution in the area. No specific study has been

conducted to quantify the pollution from non-mining sources.

3.2.2 PRESENT AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STUDY

Present air quality data have been generated as per the guidelines of CPCB

and in line with Point No.21(b) of the Questionnaire (Proforma for Environmental

Appraisal of Mining Projects). Twenty four (24) hourly data have been generated for

each parameter i.e. PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOX at each monitoring station for two

days in a week for four consecutive weeks in a month for three months i.e. March

2013 to May 2013.

� Location of air sampling stations

To assess the ambient air quality, sampling stations were fixed on the basis

of meteorological parameters like predominant wind direction and wind

speeds besides physiography of the area. The locations of air sampling

stations are shown in Plate No.-XA and the details are given in the Table-

3.2.

� Observations

� 24 hourly concentration levels for PM10, SO2 and NOX are within the limits of

the Standards for Coal Mines, September, 2000 [GSR 742 (E)] for the air

quality monitoring station in core zone.

� The average concentration levels (24 hrly.) for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOx for

other stations representing Residential Area are within the limits of the

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) except PM10 at Hensamul.

Although this village in the buffer zone of Lingaraj OCP but it falls in the Core

Zone of Bhubaneswari OCP.

� Observations

Ground Water (Tubewell water and Dugwell water)

Samples (WD1, WD2, WD3, WD4 and WD5 ) have been collected from

ground water sources. The analysis shows that various physical and chemical

parameters are within the permissible limits of Drinking Water Standards (IS:10,500-

1991) except fluoride and magnesium in Hensmul Village tube water i.e 1.2 mg/l and

33 mg/l respectively which is just marginally crossing the permissible limit which may

be due to geo-genic of the rock formation; turbidity in dug well water at kandhal

village is 45 NTU due to mining interference and is temporary phenomenon ; TDS,

alkalinity at Rehrat village to methyl orange and calcium are 502 mg/l, 202 mg/l and

76 mg/l respectively which is just marginally crossing the permissible limit.

CMPDI


Surface Water (Pond water)

Samples, WS1, WS2 and WS3 were collected from pond waters of Hensamul

and Talabera villages respectively. The analysis show that various parameters are

within the limits of IS : 2296-1982 (Surface water, Class "C" : Tolerance limits for

surface waters used for drinking water source with conventional treatment followed

by disinfection).

3.4 Hydrogeology

Detailed hydro-geological investigation was not attempted at Talcher coalfield till

1981. Water level data were collected from exploratory boreholes by NCDC, GSI,

etc. The Central Ground Water Board had carried out pumping test in exploratory

drilling in 1973 at Anantaberini village. However, a detailed hydrogeological study was

carried out by the Hydrogeological Unit of CMPDI, Ranchi for Nandira block during

the period 1981 to 1984 covering eastern part of the Talcher coalfield. Subsequently,

a detailed hydrogeological study had been conducted by the Directorate of Mining &

Geology, Department of Steel and Mines, Govt. of Orissa for Gopalprasad block of

Talcher coalfield in 1990. The abstract of Hydrogeological studies carried out by

CMPDI, Ranchi in Talcher coalfield is given below:

(i) Detailed hydrological studies reveal that Singhara jhor proto-basin and

Bangaru jhor sub-basin are of 5th order streams draining into the Brahmani

river. The drainage density of Singhara jhor and Bangaru jhor basins are 1.75

and 1.52 km/sq.km and their stream frequencies are 2.09 and 1.83 per sq.km

respectively. Both the basins are morphometrically similar.

(ii) The annual total run-off in Singhara jhor is 332.45, 237.97 and 545.19 mm of

which the base flow accounts to 164.80, 90.91 and 167.25 mm in 1983, 1984

and 1985 respectively.

(iii) Ground water in the area occurs under both unconfined and confined

conditions. The weathered mantle, recent alluvium and laterites act as

unconfined aquifer or phreatic aquifer.

(iv) Hydrogeological studies at Talcher coalfield reveals that the following aquifers

are identified in the ascending order from the data of sub-surface geological

CMPDI


and ground water exploration studies of the past. Exploratory data for coal and

ground water have also been analysed and interpretated to understand the

disposition of aquifers.

From the above table, the aquifers in Talcher coalfield have been broadly

classified as shallow and deep aquifer and have been referred as unconfined and

confined respectively representing their mode of occurrence. The division between

confined and unconfined is entirely gradational. The term semi-confined is used for

the intermediate condition.

In the Talcher coalfield, ground water occurs in the porous colluvial material

and weathered mantle as well as in the joints, fissures and fractures. These are met

at shallow depths in the partly weathered rocks and deep seated fresh rocks. Though

shale, coal, mud stones, etc. act as confining horizon when it is sandwiched with

water bearing strata but the very nature of these confining horizon permits

considerable vertical flow. As these confining horizons have very poor hydraulic

conductivity in horizontal directions, these horizons also act as barrier boundaries

when they get juxtaposed with water bearing horizon because of geological

disturbance.

The large pore space in the fine grained sedimentary rocks provide storage for

huge quantities of water. The porosity of fine grained sediments decreases with depth

of deeper depositional environment.

CMPDI


Cemented sandstones and conglomerates have made sedimentary formation

hard and compact which offer very limited scope to be considered as aquifers in

themselves. When these formations are geologically disturbed by faulting, jointing and

fracturing, produces secondary porosity. This secondary porosity when it is saturated

with ground water, forms good aquifer.

As a rule, formations are found to become thinner and fine grained at

increasing distances from the source of sediments. These lateral gradation are of

great significance with respect to the occurrence and movement of ground water.

(v) The depth of water in pre-monsoon period ranges from less than 1.6 m (Jilinda

village) to about 10.70m (Ekadal village) below ground level in western parts

of and from less than 1.10 m (Deulbera village) to about 7.83 m (Kashipur

village) below ground level in the highly populated eastern parts of the

coalfield.

(vi) The depth of water in post-monsoon period ranges from less than 2.9 m

(Jilinda village) to about 11.50m (Kandhabarani village) below ground level in

western parts and from less than 1.60 m (Deulbera village) to about 13.5 m

(Kashipur village) below ground level in the highly populated eastern parts of

the coalfield.

(vii) The annual fluctuation of water levels range in 10 km buffer zone from

approximately 1 to 10 m in the area.

(viii) The water table configuration coincides with the topography of the area. The

altitude of water table in the western parts is 134 m and in the eastern parts is

101 m above mean sea level with an average hydraulic gradient of 0.3

percent.

(ix) The ground water in the area moves in the general direction of north-east from

south-west. There are a few localized ground water troughs and mounds and

the watershed boundaries in general coincide with the ground water divides.

(x) The average hydraulic conductivity of unconfined aquifer for the study area is

2.83 m per day. The discharge ranges from 0.54 to 94.00 cubic meters per

day. The drawdown varies from 0.37 to 3.20 m on an average pumping of 65

minutes. The specific capacity varies from 0.048 to 13.46 cum/hr/m of draw-

down. The specific yield of the area is 4 percent.

CMPDI


(xi) For the confined aquifer, the peizometric head is at 170 m in the western and

80 m above mean sea level in the eastern parts. The piezometric head

fluctuation is around 1.4 meters annually.

(xii) The pumping tests conducted on the well tapping confined aquifers indicate

the transmissivity range of 1 to 20 sq.meters per day and the storativity ranges

from 4.5 x 10-4 to 7.8 x 10-4. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer ranges

from 0.1 to 1.5 meters per day. The discharge varies from 33 to 316 cubic

meters per day with a drawdown of 5 to 30 meters under pumping conditions.

(xiii) The recharge and discharge zones have been demarcated on the basis of

principles of fluid potential distribution. The auto-flow conditions exist

essentially in the discharge zone but the entire discharge zone is not an auto-

flow zone but for topography. The average auto-flow discharge is about 40

cubic meters per day.

(xiv) The evapo-transpiration as calculated was 673.55, 368.64 and 755.43 mm in

1983, 1984 and 1985 respectively. Ground water evapo-transpiration of the

area were estimated as 37.01, 36.18 and 54.29 mm in the ratios of 5.5, 10 and

7 percent to the total evapo-transpiration in 1983, 1984 and 1985 respectively.

Precipitation is the only source of ground water recharge and the values were

estimated as 230.81, 78.1 and 285.74 mm in 1983, 1984 and 1985

respectively.

The ground water temperature of unconfined aquifer varies from 22O to 30OC,

whereas of confined aquifers, it varies between 32O and 48OC.

� Present ground water scenario of 10 km radius of the area

Present ground water scenarios of the area are assessed from the open

dugwells used for domestic water consumption. The selected hydrograph stations in

and around Lingaraj OC Expn. Project are given in Fig.-3.9. The water level in these

wells represent hydraulic head of water table aquifers. The hydraulic heads of all

observed wells are calibrated to reduced level. The hydraulic head of all hydrograph

stations are connected to construct water table contour map. Water table contour

map for Lingaraj OC Expn. Project is given in Fig.-3.9.

It is observed from the Fig.-3.9 that the water table configuration of the area

coincides more or less with surface topography. The altitude of water table in the

western part of the project area is 130 m above MSL, which slopes down to 94m

CMPDI


above MSL in the eastern part of the area and 71 m in the south eastern part of the

area.

The ground water level recorded for the pre-monsoon season from the open

dugwell in the buffer zone of the project area range from 1.0 to 11.7 m bgl whereas

the ground water level in the project area in Deulbera village (core zone) ranges from

1.9 to 10.2 m bgl. Similarly for the post-monsoon season, ground water level

recorded from the open dugwell in in the buffer zone of project area ranges from

1.62 to 10.7 m bgl whereas the ground water level in the project area in Deulbera

village (core zone) ranges from 1.25 to 3.67 m bgl.

It is also observed from the Fig.-3.9 and Fig.-3.10 Based on these contour

maps, there are a few localized ground water troughs and mounds and watershed

boundaries generally coincide with ground water divides. There is a ground water

divide orienting north-west to south-east between Manikamara (Krishnachandrapur)

to Dasanali villages. This groundwater divide acts as drainage divide of the area.

This ground water and drainage divide make a part of ground water movement as

well as a part of surface run-off towards the north-west contributing to Bangaru jhor

and balance flow towards Nandira jhar.

For the purpose of understanding impact of mining activity on groundwater in

the vicinity, a dug well from Deulbera village (core zone) has been selected for year

on year fluctuation study (figure-3.8). Based on the data, it can be inferred that over

the years ground water levels in Deulbera village (core zone) have minutely

decreased and thus mining activity has little influence on the groundwater. However

as observed from ground water levels in dugwell in village Natedi (buffer zone) show

increasing trends in groundwater level (figure 3.11).

N.B. : Previously buffer zone was considered from center of the core zone. Later it changed from the periphery of the mine. So there is change in land use in buffer zone.

MCL has been carrying out massive afforestation in the vacant leasehold

areas as well as the reclaimed land of various mines/projects. This is adding to the

green cover in the area.

3.8 SOIL QUALITY STUDY

Soil quality study for Lingaraj OC Expn. Project (16.0 Mty, 20.0 Mty peak)

(core and buffer zones) was carried out by Richardson & Cruddas (1972) Ltd. on

behalf of MCL in the month of May 2013. Report on primary baeline data on soil

quality is annexed (Annexure-IX).

3.9 INFORMATION ON BIO-DIVERSITY

3.9.1 METHODOLOGY FOR THE STUDY OF FLORA AND FAUNA

CMPDI


Flora and fauna studies were carried out during May 2013 to assess the list of

terrestrial plant and animal species that occurs in the core area and the buffer area from

proposed project site. Separate lists of all plant species of the core and buffer areas

were prepared based on the plant species encountered during the study period. All

observed Flora and Fauna species were counter checked with the list of Odisha state

critically endangered species and endangered species of flora and fauna. All observed

avi-fauna were counter checked with the IUCN Red list updated 2011 which contains

list of 147 threatened birds which include 14 critical, 15 endangered, 54 vulnerable and

64 near threatened species. Aquatic environment study was carried out by observing

any macrophytes grow in and around or floating or emergent condition on the lentic

(stagnant) or lotic (running) water bodies of the buffer zone.

3.9.5 GENERAL REMARK

Elephants are the only migratory mammals in the area coming from distant

places during forest fire. However, it is not a common migratory route for wild

animals.In the project area, forest area was noticed as fragmented patches due to

human habitation pressure in both core and buffer zone. The nature of the forest is

open canopied dry deciduous type. At many places, the forest because of biotic;

interference has been converted to scrubland. Biotic pressure has also affected the

natural wild life fauna of the area. The area as revealed from the survey does not

support any rare and endangered flora and fauna.

The area as revealed from the survey does not support any rare and

endangered flora and fauna.

3.9.6 BROAD PLAN FOR CONSERVATION OF THE FAUNA WHICH USED THE HABITAT OF THE STUDY AREA

The report reveals the presence of few wild animals in core and buffer zones

under different Schedules of the Wild life (Protection) Act 1972. All such animals are

found in other parts of the State. The area does not have any endangered species.

CMPDI


However, for conservation important species present under different Schedules,

broad management strategies have been suggested.

The records of faunal species collected during the survey were based on

both direct and indirect evidences. As per the informal discussions with the local

people, the schedule I and II fauna such as Golden jackel, Canis aureus, Juncle cat,

Felis chaus, and Phyton, Python molurus were not very frequently seen in the Project

area.

No threatened or endangered flora species are located within the core and

buffer zone of the project area.

Faunal Impacts were assessed in regard to the following issues. Habitat Loss

and Wildlife Migration Patterns. No significant habitat loss is anticipated Potential

wildlife crossing zones were not identified by experts of Ecology, Flora and Fauna.

There was no residential birds or wild mammals evidenced by the absence of nests

of birds resting or hiding places of mammals. Observed avi-fauna in the core area

were common birds.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS &

MITIGATION MEASURES 4.1 ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT AND CONTROL MEASURES ON

AIR QUALITY

INTRODUCTION

The impacts of mining and its allied activities have been assessed in respect

of air, water, noise, land resources, socio-economic bio-diversity, etc.

4.1.1 AIR POLLUTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Dust (PM10 and PM2.5) is the major emission from mining activities in coalfield

area. Impact has been predicted for air quality taking PM10 and PM2.5 into

consideration in and around the project area. The impact assessment has been

carried out considering with the following points:

(i) Calculation of rate of generation of PM10 and PM2.5 using empirical

formulae and emission factors for different mining operations developed

by USEPA & Environment Australia:2001

(ii) Air quality impact prediction (AQIP) using Industrial Source Complex

Short Term Model (ISCST3) (Revised), USEPA, Seattle, Washington.

(iii) The AQIP modeling has been carried out for the peak capacity of 20.0

MTY (incremental 8.43 Mty).

4.1.2 CALCULATION OF RATE OF GENERATION OF AIR POLLUTION FROM LINGARAJ OC EXPN PROJECT USING EMPIRICAL EQUATION

Activity-wise emission rates have been estimated using the above mentioned

empirical formulae and emission factors. The formulae have been used to evaluate

the emission rate for the mining activities and locations e.g. drilling, haul road,

transportation road, loading, unloading, and dozing on dumps, etc. Based on the

CMPDI


above study, rate of generation of PM10 from Lingaraj OC Expn Project considering

for the project of 20.0 MTPA capacity has been calculated.

4.2 ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT AND CONTROL MEASURES ON HYDROLOGY & HYDRO-GEOLOGY

The surface water has intricate relationship between precipitation and ground

water. Knowledge of mining impact on ground water is requisite while deciding and

designing to protect surface water bodies. Predicted mining impact on water is

broadly classified as:

4.2.1 QUANTITATIVE IMPACT & CONTROL MEASURES ON WATER

� Proposed changes and impacts on hydrology

The following changes in hydrology have been assessed:

� Siltation and chocking of water courses resulting in scarcity of surface

water and flooding problem in the area.

� Reduction and changes in storm run-off or surface run-off water

courses.

� Declining of ground water level resulting early drying-up of surface

water bodies like ponds, lakes and stream flows.

The following control measures have been assessed for the above said

changes on hydrology:

4.2.1.1 CONTROL MEASURES FOR DISRUPTION OF NATURAL DRAINAGE NETWORK LOCATED IN THE CORE ZONE

� Control measures for disruption of natural drainage net work

located in the core zone No major drainage fall under the premises of Lingaraj OCP and none

will be disrupted due to expansion project. However some tributaries to

Bangaru jhar may be affected as they come in the area of expansion.

The total catchment area of the Bangaru jhar before entering into the

mining area is estimated at 12.50 km2. The general gradient of the

Bangaru jhar is estimated as 1:286 in the proposed expansion project.

The run-off water from the stream will be diverted progressively during

mining operation permission from the flood and irrigation diversion,

Department of Water Resources, Govt. of Odisha is under process for

diversion of Bangaru jhor stream.

CMPDI


4.2.1.2 CONTROL MEASURES TO PROTECT SURFACE WATER BODIES FROM SILTATION AND CHOKING OF WATER COURSES RESULTING IN SCARCITY OF SURFACE WATER AND FLOODING PROBLEM IN THE AREA

The foot drain & catch drain are being made for smooth disposal of storm

water from external overburden dump, which is extremely essential to avoid gully

formation on the dump body and also siltation problem of the nearby natural drains.

These drain collects run-off from dump and direct it to settling tank / sedimentation

pond before discharge to nearby natural water courses. Sedimentation tank is

periodically cleaned to avoid siltation of the drainage.

Drainage arrangement for internal OB dumps collect run-off through foot

drain and divert it to mine sump for pumping. During mining period, the drainage

pattern of the reclaimed area will be such that the run-off will be diverted to final void

of the quarry as a measure for water harvesting. To both external and internal

dumps besides biological reclamation, the grass plantation is being made to prevent

the movement of loose sediments from these dumps. The TSS 100m at upstream

and downstream of the mine discharge is recorded during routine monitoring is given

below:

4.2.1.3 CONTROL MEASURES TO PROTECT SURFACE WATER BODIES FROM REDUCTION AND CHANGES IN STORM RUN-OFF OR SURFACE RUN-OFF WATER COURSES

Garland drain is provided around the excavation boundary to guard against

mine inundation due to rainfall run-off or storm run-off (Plate-VIII). Drains are

provided around coal dumps to collect run-off for diverting into sedimentation pond

before discharge into natural water course. Open masonry drains are provided for

handling the run-off from the built-up area. Mine water generated from mining area

by direct rainfall will be pumped time to time for safe mine operation after meeting the

internal requirement. The mine water in the excavation or quarry area is estimated

for monsoon and lean season as 2.05 and 1.81 Mm3/annum respectively. The mine

water in the excavation or quarry area is the average make-up water due to direct

precipitation and seepage from strata and surrounding, etc. The existing main

pumps pump out water in different stages of excavation based on considering a day

of peak rainfall in monsoon in excess of the capacity of the sump. The pumped mine

water will be discharged to the natural drain during monsoon after treatment to avoid

reduction of storm run-off in stream flow for downstream users.

4.2.1.4 CONTROL MEASURES TO PROTECT DECLINING OF GROUND WATER LEVEL FROM EARLY DRYING UP OF SURFACE WATER BODIES LIKE PONDS, LAKES & STREAM FLOW

There is an intricate relationship between surface water and ground water. In

the monsoon time, till the aquifer attains its original ground water level, the surface

water bodies like stream flow, ponds & lakes recharge the aquifer. As soon as the

ground water recoups and attains its level, the groundwater contributes water to the

surface water bodies. After post-monsoon period, this process is reversed again as

the ground water level gets lowered from the original level. This recharge and

discharge system of the area brings surface water and ground water relationship

complicated. The water balance studies of this area unties the above said intricate

relationship of surface and ground water.

Declining of ground water level due to mining is generally to the limited extent

around excavation or quarry area. The phenomenon of lowering of water level is

temporary. The annual replenishable rainfall recharge balance of 146.47 Mm3/annum

in this area signifies that the rainfall recharge recoups ground water level every year.

CMPDI


Backfilling once reached to its predetermined level seepage from the excavation

zone will considerably be reduced; thereby declining of ground water will also be

reduced around the mine. The effort will be made to store mine make-up water in

different sumps or lower benches of the mine as a measure for rain water harvesting.

Zero discharge concept is being / will be adopted for domestic and industrial effluent

by recycling of the same. The treated excess mine water during monsoon period will

be discharged to nearby natural drain for recharging the ground water in the same

basin of the area.

4.2.2 QUALITATIVE IMPACT ON WATER

Mining and its related activities create water quality problems. These

problems are identified and the likely sources of water pollution from this project

along with the type of pollutants are follows:

(a) Sanitary (domestic) estimated quantity … 2.28 Mld.

(b) Industrial wastewater from workshop -- Suspended solids, oil & grease.

(c) Waste water from mine -- Suspended solids of coal, clay and oil.

(d) Surface run-off passing through coal stockpiles -- Suspended solids

(e) Storm water from leasehold area and built-up area -- Suspended solids.

4.2.2.1 EFFECTIVE WATER POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES ON QUALITY WILL BE TAKEN AT THE PROPOSED LINGARAJ OC EXPN. PROJECT KEEPING THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN VIEW

� Sufficient safeguards during the planning stage to make the project eco-

friendly from water pollution control point of view.

� Recycling of wastewater after appropriate treatment to achieve "zero

discharge" to the extent possible at some sources.

� Conforming to the limits of the Environment (Protection) Amendment

Rules, 2000 (•Schedules-VIŽ, General Standards for discharge of

environmental pollutants, Part-A : Effluents) for quality of the treated

effluent.

4.2.2.2 SANITARY(DOMESTIC) WASTEWATER

This expansion project will generate additional waste water quantity of 128

m3/day. The total water requirement for domestic use is estimated as 2860 m3/day.

The necessary fund of rupees twenty seven lakh and thirteen thousand has been

given for this expansion project. About 80% of this consumption will contribute to

sanitary wastewater which will be treated mainly for total suspended solids (TSS) and

bio-chemical oxygen demand (BOD). Therefore, depending upon the pollution load in

the domestic effluent, a suitable treatment scheme with sedimentation tank for TSS

and aeration facilities for BOD is proposed (Fig.-4.1) and will be commissioned for

the project. Treated water will be utilised for watering the plants. Domestic Effluent

Treatment Plant (DETP) has been provided for the colony as well as for the survice

building.

4.2.2.3 INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER FROM WORKSHOP

This expansion project will generate an additional quantity of 140 m3/day.

The necessary additional fund of rupees twenty one lakh forty four thousand has

been awared for effluent treatment plant. This industrial wastewater treatment plant

consists of pre and post-settling chambers/tanks and oil and grease trap (OGT). The

treated effluent from this plant (Fig.-4.2) is collected in a tank for recycling the same

for industrial use resulting in ‘zero discharge’ . The sludge collected from the settling

chamber is disposed off as landfill in the decoaled area. Oil and grease manually

reclaimed from the trap is stored in drums safely for disposal through auction. Oily

sludge is disposed off in the impervious layer lined pit.

4.2.2.4 WASTE WATER FROM MINE

Mine discharge water is collected in a sump pit located in the mine floor from

where it is pumped out and diverted to mine discharge treatment plant (Fig.-4.1)

(MDTP) which is consisting of oil and grease trap and sedimentation pond(s) with

chemical dozing arrangement to arrest suspended solids and oil and grease. Then,

treated water is used for dust suppression in haul road and CHP besides washing of

dumpers and/or dozers in workshop. The sludge collected from the pond(s) is

utilized as landfill in the decoaled area. The oily sludge from oil and grease trap(s) is

disposed off in the impervious layer lined pit. Oil and grease recovered manually

from the trap(s) will be stored in drums safely for disposal through auction. Effort are

being made to keep the balance make up water in the lower benches of the mine as

a measure for “Rain Water Harvesting” . In unusual situations during monsoon,

mine discharge 13934.42 m3/day will be allowed to go as recharge / run-off in the

same basin of the area.

The surface run-off from the dump bodies is collected in garland drains of

appropriate size provided at the foot. The foot drain will carry water to a

sedimentation pond from where the overflow is directed into natural drain through

controlled discharge outlets. The overflow will be monitored regularly for TSS to

enable corrective actions before water meets the natural water ways.

(b) From coal dumps

Drains are provided around the coal dumps to collect run-off for diverting into

sedimentation ponds before discharge into natural water courses.

4.2.2.6 STORM WATER

The area slopes generally towards north east to east. To prevent inrush of

precipitation run-off from the outside area to the quarry, storm water drains of

suitable dimensions are provided at appropriate locations with outlets to natural water

courses. Settling tanks/ponds are provided in the storm water drains at convenient

locations to take care of suspended solids. Both storm water drains and settling

tanks/ponds are cleaned periodically to avoid choking of drains & malfunctioning of

tanks/ponds.

Open masonry drains of appropriate dimensions with outlets to nearby

natural water courses are provided for handling the run-off from the built-up area.

The above drains are cleaned periodically to avoid choking.

4.2.3 WATER BALANCE

The project falls in the eastern part of Talcher Coalfield. Water balance of the

above project cannot be studied in isolation without considering water balance of the

area as a whole. Here, water balance for the area has been highlighted in addition to

water balance for the project.

CMPDI


4.2.3.1 WATER BALANCE FOR EASTERN PART OF TALCHER COALFIELD

(a) Water balance

Water balance for the area is based on the hydro-geological studies

conducted in the eastern part of Talcher Coalfield by the Hydro-geological Unit of

CMPDI, Ranchi. It is a quantitative statement of the balance between total water

gains and losses during a particular period of time for the area concerned. Water

balance considers all waters, surface and sub-surface, entering or leaving or stored

within a basin. Further, water entering a basin is equated to water leaving a basin,

plus or minus the changes in the basin storage. For water balance study, the

equation used is:

Pa = Ru + ET � �S g Where: Pa = Precipitation, mm

Ru = Stream flow, mm

ET = Evapo-transpiration, mm

�S g = Change in ground water storage, mm

Using the above equation, the annual water balance of Talcher Coalfield

(East) is given below:

Note: (+) Sign indicates surplus in ground water storage (-) Sign indicates deficit in ground water storage

(b) Water table in the area

The depth of water in pre-monsoon period ranges from less than 1.6 m

(Jilinda village) to about 10.70m (Ekadal village) below ground level in western parts

CMPDI


and from less than 1.10 m (Deulbera village) to about 7.83 m (Kashipur village) below

ground level in the highly populated eastern parts of the coalfield.

The depth of water in post-monsoon period ranges from less than 2.9 m

(Jilinda village) to about 11.50m (Kandhabarani village) below ground level in western

parts and from less than 1.60 m (Deulbera village) to about 13.5 m (Kashipur village)

below ground level in the highly populated eastern parts of the coalfield.

Further, the annual fluctuation of water levels range in 10 km buffer zone from

approximately 1 to 7 m in the area

(c) Observations

Considering rainfall, the changes in ground water storage from the above

table and water table of the area, the following observations are made:

� As the average rainfall in the area is 1257 mm, there would be a surplus

in the ground water storage as evident from the annual water balance

given in Table-4.4. So the possibility of drastic fluctuation of water table

is minimum.

� Withdrawal of water from mines in general and opencast mines in

particular has least impact on the ground water storage except in a

drought condition when the annual rainfall comes down to a level of

655.60 mm as it has happened in 1984.

� A number of U/G and opencast OC mines are in operation for past

couple of years and there is no adverse effect in the area till date.

(b) Hydrologic budget for the buffer zone

� Annual groundwater recharge estimate

� Estimation of groundwater recharge through rainfall infiltration (Rarf) (a) Recharge through rainfall in Barakar formations Rg = A x R x Ii Where A = 267.04 km2 R = 1.257 m Ii = 12 % So, Rg = 40.28 Mm3 (b) Recharge through rainfall in consolidated sedimentary formations Rg = A x R x Ii Where A = 112.02 km2 R = 1.257 m Ii = 6 % So Rg = 8.49 Mm3

(c) Recharge through metamorphic rocks Rg = A x R x Ii Where A = 24.41 km2

R = 1.257 m

Ii = 8 %

So Rg = 2.45 Mm3

Total annual recharge through rainfall infiltration (Rarf) [a+b+c] = 51.22 Mm3

CMPDI


� Estimation of groundwater recharge through other sources (Raos) (a) Recharge through water spread area Rg = A x Sws Where A = 5.52 km2 Sws = 0.210 m/annum So Rg = 1.16 Mm3 (b) Recharge through Streams (Ss) Rg = A x Ss Where A = 2.35 km2 Ss = 1.899 m/annum So Rg = 4.46 Mm3 (c) Recharge through river (Sr) Rg = A x Sr Where A = 14.54 km2 Sr = 3.80 m/annum So Rg = 55.25 Mm3 (d) Recharge through mine discharge Rg = Ma x Ii Where Ma: Annual mine discharge from all 10 mines (including Lingaraj OC mine) = 18.49 Mm3 Ii : Infiltration index for mine dewatered discharge = 20% So Rg = 3.70 Mm3 Total annual recharge from other sources (Raos) [a+b+c+d] = 64.57 Mm3 Therefore, total annual recharge in the buffer zone = Rarf+Raos = 115.79 Mm3

� Estimation of mine inflow as mine water (Ramw) Estimated average annual mine inflow = 30.68 Mm3 (direct precipitation + strata seepage) for all 10 mines around the project Therefore, total annual recharge in the buffer zone =Rarf + Raos + Ramw= 146.47 Mm3

Total water discharge (losses) : 49.06 Mm3 $ Source : Forest Research Institute, Madhya Pradesh $$ As per GEC Norms.

� Net groundwater availability for industrial or any other purposes

Net ground water available for industrial or any other purposes = Total annual average ground water recharge - (total water utilization + total net draft from the surrounding area) = 146.47 … 49.06 = 97.41 Mm3

� Groundwater availability for unirrigated and cultivable wasteland

i. Unirrigated area (Cu) : 13,588 ha

ii. Cultivable wasteland (Cw) : 3,274 ha

iii. Total (Cu+Cw) : 16,862 ha

: 20.23 Mm3

v. Out of 20.23 Mm3 of water used for irrigation of unirrigated and cultivable wasteland, 20% is again recharged into the aquifer. Hence, the required net water for application is (0.8 x 20.23)

: 16.18 Mm3

vi. Assuming additional future irrigation of 16,862 ha of hitherto unirrigated (Cu) and cultivable wasteland (Cw), the net discharge from the ground water aquifer will be (=49.06+16.18)

(c) Hydrologic budget for the core zone

� Annual rainfall recharge (Rg) in core zone area Rg = A x R x Ii Where A = 14.10 km2 R = 1.257 m Ii = 12 % So Rg = 2.12 Mm3

� Inventory of groundwater discharge Losses due to sub-surface out-flow and evapo- transpiration @ 10% of Rg = 2.12 x 0.10 = 0.21 Mm3 Estimated mine dewatering as mine seepage = 1.87 Mm3 Total draft = 2.08 Mm3 Balance ground water in the core zone is (=2.12-2.08) = 0.04 Mm3

From the above water balance studies, it is observed from the

hydrogeological set-up of the Lingaraj OCP that the estimated annual averages mine

inflow rate is 1.87 Mm3/annum as strata seepage whereas the recharge for core zone

is 2.12 Mm3. From the above water balance studies, it is estimated that there is

surplus water available per annum from ground water annual recharge after catering

to the future requirement in the buffer zone and core zone, hence there is no impact

of mining is predicted.

suppression in haul road besides washing of dumpers or dozer in workshop or diverted to the

nearby water course. The pumping of mine water during mining in different coal projects in

general and Lingaraj OC Expn. Project, in particular will not adversely affect the ground

water regime in the surrounding area due to availability of sufficient replenishable annual

ground water recharge in the area.

4.2.4 IMPACT OF OPENCAST AND UNDERGROUND COAL MINES ON

GROUND WATER RESOURCE WITH IN THE BUFFER ZONE

Lingaraj OC Expn. project is situated in the south-eastern part of the Talcher

Coalfield (Plate No.I). The topography of the area is gently undulated. The general

slope is towards north. The elevation of the area varies from 85 to 120 m above

MSL. Local drainage is controlled by a small seasonal nullah flowing generally

towards north and discharging into the north-south. The Brahmani river passes at a

distance of roughly 3 km east of the project area.

The mean temperature recorded at IMD, Angul during winter season varies

from 6.7 to 34.9oC (December to February) whereas mean temperature during pre-

monsoon cyclone season ranges from 10.6 to 45.5oC (March to May). Generally,

humidity is highest in the month of August and least in the month of March or April.

The average relative humidity varies from 31 to 88%. The average annual rainfall of

the area as recorded for a period from 1980 to 2012 is about 1257 mm.

The geological exploration of Lingaraj block reveals that the Talchir formation

is not encountered in the block. Khararbari formation is represented of medium to

coarse grained pale, yellowish massive sandstones, loosely cemented by claying

matrix, thin shale bands and coal seams (Seam-I). Almost entire column of Barakar

formation is available in the block. The basal conglomeritic horizon is overlain by a

thick sequence of fine to course grained grayish feldspathic sand stones, gray to dark

gray shales, carbonaceous shales, thick coal seams, etc. Twelve coal seams of the

coalfield one available in these horizons. These coal seams are Seam-II to XIII in

ascending order.

The strike of the bed in Lingaraj block is in east-west direction. It takes NW

swing and finally to NE-SE in eastern part in the southern part of the block. The dip

of the strata varies from 3o to 12o towards north. Structurally the area is traversed by

33 steeply dipping (75o) normal faults traversing the block. The throw of these faults

CMPDI


varies widely from less than 5.0 m to 250m. In general, strike of faults is in along E-

W and NW-SE.

All the 12 seams namely Seam(s) - II (Bot), II, III, IVA, IVB, V, VIA, VIB, VII,

VIII, IX, X, XI, XII and XII are mineable. Mineable reserve in this block is estimated

as 348.81 Mt. The ultimate working depth of the mine is about 273m.

Hydro-geological set-up of area The Hydrogeological Unit of CMPDI has studied hydrogeological set-up of Talcher

coalfield. In this area, the ground water occurs in the porous granular alluvial material and

weathered mantle as well as in the joints, fissures and fractures. These structures make the

porosity of the sediment to decrease with depth due to cemented nature of sandstone and

conglomerates. Ground water in the area occurs under both unconfined and confined

hydraulic conditions. The weathered mantle, recent alluvium act as unconfined aquifer or

phreatic aquifer.

The confined aquifer named in the order of superposition as Karharbari, Basal,

Lower Barakar, Middle Barakar and Upper Barakar aquifers. These aquifers mainly consist of

conglomerates and sandstones, which are interbedded with shales and coal seams as

aquitards and aquicludes.

The determination of aquifer characteristics of unconfined aquifer was carried out

by the pumping tests in dug wells by CMPDI around Lingaraj OC project. It is noted from the

pumping test data that the non-pumping water level ranges from 3.48 to 4.44 m.bgl. The

draw-down varies from 1.18 to 2.55 m and discharge ranges from 28 to 33 m3/day. The

specific capacity ranges from 0.504 to 1.45 m2/hr/m of draw-down. The average hydraulic

conductivity of unconfined aquifer is 2.13 m/day. The specific yield of the aquifer material is

4%.

Aquifer parameters for confining porous media were computed by analyzing the

pumping test data of the exploratory wells of CGWB and CMPDI around Lingaraj OC expn.

project. It is noted from the pumping test data that the piezometric head is 7.4m below

ground level. The transmissivity of the confining aquifer ranges between 1.64 to 20.18

m2/day and the storativity is 0.00078. The discharge varies from 33 to 31 m3/day with a draw-

down of 5 to 19.65 m. The average hydrauilic conductivity of the aquifer is 0.892 m/day.

CMPDI


Water demand & management for the project

Peak water demand for this project has been assessed as 2860 m3/day for potable

and 5730 m3/day for industrial and fire fighting. Potable water is drawn from the Brahmani

river through the Integrated Water Supply Scheme (IWSS) of Talcher Coalfield. Water

demand for industrial and fire fighting is met from the treated mine discharge water.

Mine discharge

Three underground working mines, one abandoned underground mine and six

opencast working mines surround the project. The mining operation has created huge voids

of depressions. These voids or depressions are acting like micro-basins which form as

storehouse of water. This water has to be dewatered from time to time or constantly for safe

mining operation as "mine discharge water". This mine water is the combined water storage

of rainfall run-off and recharge, which is stored either in the working or abandoned mines and

decoaled voids and/or underground goaves. The mine water discharge for both underground

and opencast mines is presently estimated as 18.49 Mm3/annum for the buffer zone of the

project.

Average quantity of final discharge to natural drain is about 13934 m3/day in unusual

situations in rainy season. In general, every effort will be made to totally recycle/reuse the

treated effluents to the extent possible by keeping the make of water in different sumps or

low-lying area.

Water balance study

Water balance study was carried out within the area of 10 km radius from Lingaraj

OC project. The abstract of water balance is given below for impact analysis.

� Hydro-geological budget for buffer zone (including core zone)

(i) Estimation of ground water recharge through rainfall infiltration

Total annual recharge from all sources : 146.47 Mm3

(a) Recharge through formation : 51.22 Mm3 (b) Recharge through other sources : 64.57 Mm3

(c) Recharge as mine inflow (for all 10 mines) : 30.68 Mm3

(ii) Estimation of annual ground water draft : 65.24 Mm3

(a) Present ground water draft : 49.06 Mm3 (b) Future ground water draft : 16.18 Mm3

CMPDI


Estimation of ground water balance : 81.23 Mm3 (Total annual recharge from all sources -- Annual ground water draft)

� Hydrologic budget for core zone Annual rainfall recharge : 2.12 Mm3 Annual estimated ground water draft : 2.08 Mm3

Estimation of ground water balance : 0.04 Mm3 (Annual rainfall recharge -- Annual ground water draft)

From above water balance studies, it is estimated that there is a surplus water

available per annum from ground water recharge after catering to the future requirement in

the buffer zone and core zone.

Impact of mining on hydro-geological regime

Lingaraj OC Expn. Project is surrounded by four underground and five opencast

mines within the area of 10 km radius from the project. This area is sustained by an average

annual rainfall of 1257 mm. The annual rainfall recharge and ground water draft are

estimated as 146.47 Mm3 and 65.07 Mm3 respectively for this area. Considering the hydro-

geological set-up of the area, the ground water or strata seepage for all the mines is

estimated as 18.69 Mm3. The estimated annual mine inflow including this project is 30.68

Mm3. It is observed that the mine water of 18.49 Mm3 is dewatered as the mine discharge

water to the natural drain. This mine inflow water is the mine operation induced or

accelerated additional rainfall recharge besides rainfall recharge (146.47 Mm3) to the area.

This mine inflow water has to be dewatered periodically or constantly for safe mining

operation. Moreover, it is found from the water balance study that the annual replenishable

rainfall recharge comes to about 81.71 Mm3 (Fig.-4.3) after considering mine discharge,

domestic as well as cultivation requirements of the area. The estimated maximum radius of

influence from the available hydrogeological parameters is 795m. The cumulative impact of

mine withdrawal / mine discharge and zone of influence for the area were studied from water

level data from regular monitoring of water level in the open dug well of the core zone (nearer

to the mine) at Deulbera village. The water level data plot is given in Fig.4.4-4.5 Hydrologic

budget of the core zone reveals that the extraction of ground water by mining is less than the

annual rainfall recharge.

CMPDI


Conclusions

The following conclusions are drawn from the above study:

-- Mining operation has created voids or depressions, which are inducing

or accelerating rainfall recharge and run-off in the mining area.

-- After considering mine discharge, domestic as well as cultivation

requirements, the annual replenishable rainfall recharge comes to

about 81.71 Mm3/annum.

-- Maximum effort will be made to recycle or reuse the treated effluents

totally to the extent possible by keeping the make of water in different

sumps or low lying area of the project. In unusual situations during

monsoon, mine discharge water is allowed to go as recharge/ run-off in

the same basin of the area.

-- No adverse impact on water level of open dug well is observed due to

cumulative withdrawal of mine water.

4.3 NOISE QUALITY 4.3.1 NOISE IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The major adverse impacts during pre-mining and mining phases are

generation of obnoxious levels of noise & vibrations which also spread in

neighbouring communities.

The other impacts are occupational health hazards, damage to structures,

disruption in wildlife, etc.

� NOISE PRODUCING SOURCES

The sources of noise will be:

� Drilling operation in coal and OB.

� Blasting for overburden and coal.

� Operation of HEMMs

� Operation of equipment in CHP, workshop, etc.

The noise associated with mining activities may be classified into three types: � Continuous

� Intermittent

� Impulse

� IMPACT OF NOISE

The workmen associated with the operation of HEMMs, etc. will experience a

noise level above stipulated 90 dB (A) [DGMS Circular, No.18 (Tech.) of

1975] for more than 4-4.5 hours per shift. Unless suitable mitigatory

measures are taken, high noise pollution will have impact on the workmen. It

is worthwhile to mention that intermittent and impulse noises are considered

to be less dangerous than continuous noise due to the short exposure

duration except under the situation when the level exceeds 115 dB (A).

CMPDI


4.3.2 NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

The following measures shall be taken:

� Proper designing of plant & machinery by providing in-built mechanisms

like silencers, mufflers and enclosures for noise generating parts and

shock absorbing pads at the foundation of vibrating equipment.

� Routine maintenance of equipment.

� Enclosures for crusher house, etc.

� Rational deployment of noise generating plant and machinery.

� Greenbelts around the quarry, infrastructure sites, service building area

and township besides avenue plantation on both sides of the roads to

maintain noise level at night time within the limit for the inhabited

localities situated at a very close proximity.

� Locating township away from noise centre.

� HEMMs with sound proof cabins.

� Chute linings in CHP.

� Provision of isolation for vibrating equipment (both fixed and mobile)

foundation.

� Personal protective devices to all the persons working in high noise

areas.

� Regular monitoring of noise levels at various points.

4.4 RISKS AND HAZARDS

Risks and hazards arise mainly from blasting and mine occupational activities

and are well established.

4.4.1 IMPACT ON BLASTING VIBRATION

Blasting may affect the mineworkers as well as people residing in the vicinity

of mine and dependent upon the type & quantity of explosives used pit geology,

topography and confinement of the blast.

CMPDI


� Measures for safe blasting

Due attention will be given to the following factors:

(a) All provisions of Coal Mines Regulations will be followed.

(b) Overcharging will be avoided and quantity of explosive will be decided

as per conditions imposed by DGMS.

(c) Stemming material to be used is sand. However, the drill cuttings and

chips of triangular shape can be used as an effective stemming material

with proper packing.

(d) Use of millisecond delay detonators that are initiated by shock tube

initiation system, between rows and between holes in the same row.

(e) Blasting will be done in day time during the shift change over period as

per requirement. However, the frequency of blasting will depend upon

the availability of land (tenancy in particular), DGMS permission for use

of explosive, meteorological condition, geo-mining condition and

method of mining.

(f) Before blasting is done, warning sound is given so that people can

move to safe places.

4.4.2 BLASTING AND VIBRATION CONTROL MEASURES

� Proper conformation to measures for safe blasting as mentioned above,

to avoid damage to any structure or annoyance to the people in the

colony area or neighbouring villages.

� Proper design factor will be taken while constructing various structures

for stability against vibration.

� A blasting danger zone will be kept around the periphery of the quarry.

This zone will be kept free from village habitation and community

infrastructure and thus impact of vibration after blasting on the surface

structures is avoided.

CMPDI


� Controlled blasting will be done near built-up areas and surface

features, as and when required.

� Adoption of present day technology of use of site mixed slurry (SMS)

explosives.

4.5 IMPACT ON SOCIO ECONOMIC PROFILE

The major adverse impact is the displacement and rehabilitation /

resettlement of affected people including change in culture, heritage & related

features. The crime and illicit activities also prop-up due to sudden economic

development of the area.

4.5.1 SOCIAL IMPACT

� POPULATION GROWTH

Skilled manpower required for the project may not be available in the area.

Only semi-skilled and unskilled workers will be available from the local

population. So people will migrate to this segment both from within and

outside the district as well as the state due to creation of new employment

opportunities.

� EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES

A number of educational institutes are already there in the buffer zone and its

neighbourhood. The facilities already provided in the neighbouring projects

will cater to the need of this project. So migration of population will not strain

the local educational facilities already available. Further, the educational

institutes owned by MCL are also accessible to local population.

� HEALTHCARE FACILITIES

The coal company has a number of healthcare centres including a well

equipped Regional Hospital and a specialised “referral” hospital in the

coalfield area. Provision of healthcare facilities have been provided in the

project report. Healthcare facilities have been provided in the neighbouring

projects. The above facilities will cater to the need of employees of this

project. The local people can also avail these healthcare facilities.

CMPDI


� ECONOMIC IMPACT

� Loss of agricultural land � General improvement of economy of the area � Increase in revenue of the state exchequer

� IMPACT ON VILLAGE HABITATION

The project area (including the expansion project) comprising of excavation

zone, infrastructure sites, ext. OB dump area and safety zone for blasting

covers partly and/or fully 7 (seven) inhabited villages namely, Balugaon,

Balugaon-Khamar, Langijoda, Ambamunda, Nakulbaspur, Hensamul and

Madanmohanpur besides some uninhabited villages. These families will be

resettled and rehabilitated socially, culturally and economically along with

other displaced such as major married sons, unmarried daughters of 30

However, the exact number of project affected families will be known after

due enumeration by the Project Authority.

4.5.2 SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTROL MEASURES

� Project affected families will be resettled and rehabilitated socially,

culturally and economically along with other displaced families such as

major married sons, unmarried daughters of 30 years of age,

divorcee/deserted women/widows, physically handicapped and / or

mentally retarded persons irrespective of age and sex, unmarried

brothers/sisters whose parents are not alive, homestead less families

(unobjectionable encroachers) and landless families (unobjectionable

encroachers) as per latest ‘Norms of Govt. of Orissa’ .

� Resettlement colony will be provided with all infrastructure facilities like

roads, dug wells, tube wells, play ground, schools, community center,

dispensary, shopping center, etc.

� Suitable compensation will be offered to the families from whom land

including homestead land will be acquired. In all circumstances

compensation will be paid before actual displacement. All the payments

will be made by account payee cheques.

� Cash grant in lieu of job may be given.

� Vocational training will be provided.

� Interest free financial assistance will be provided where necessary.

� Monetary benefits to physical handicapped and mentally retarded

persons for self-relocation of site elsewhere will be provided.

� Incentive to displaced families for timely vacation of land will be

provided.

� Peripheral developmental activities like education, roads, bridge, water

supply, health, etc. are will be provided. A lump sum amount (in

Rs.lakhs) will be kept annually for peripheral development activities.

CMPDI


� Supply of drinking water in nearby villages during summer season will

be provided.

4.6 IMPACT ON BIO-DIVERSITY

The major adverse impacts due to pre-mining and mining phases are loss of

habitat, biodiversity, flora & fauna, fisheries & other aquatic life, migration of wildlife

and overall disruption of the ecology of the area.

4.6.1 IMPACT ON FLORA

� Forest land in the core zone in the expansion project (particularly in the

excavation area) will be diverted for mining. The forest land for diversion

is 186.311ha.

� The combined impact of operating coal mines and proposed coal

projects may influence the forest land in the buffer zone.

� Due to biotic interference and forest fire, even the reserve forests in the

area are not found to harbor many species of floral population. The

reserve forests are found to be in degraded conditions.

� Both core and buffer zones are found to be free from ecologically

sensitive and biologically rich areas/habitats, such as national parks,

sanctuaries, biosphere reserves and areas rich in genetic resources.

� There are no rare, threatened and endangered plant species in the

buffer zone.

4.6.2 IMPACT ON FAUNA

� The population of fauna, especially mammals, is found to be low. So

there will be no adverse impact on the fauna existing in the project

impact area as they will migrate to the nearby forests.

� The area is not the migratory route for any wild animal.

CMPDI


� There are no rare, threatened and endangered faunal species in the

buffer zone except Rana tigrina and Varanus which is also found in the

other parts of the district and state.

4.6.3 CONTROL MEASURES

4.6.3.1 CONTROL MEASURES TO REDUCE THE IMPACT ON FLORA

� The enhancement of forest area occurs due to measures like biological

reclamation of backfilled area, arboriculture / afforestation,

compensatory afforestation creation of greenbelt and avenue plantation.

� Water body created by the final voids is beneficial to flora as the area is

prone to water scarcity.

� This project will have no detrimental impact on diversity of floral species

within terrestrial and aquatic habitats.

4.6.3.2 CONTROL MEASURES TO REDUCE IMPACT ON FAUNA

� The balance in the regional population will be maintained in natural

course, owing to existing undisturbed forest areas in the vicinity of the

project. The increase in green cover due to implementation of various

measures like biological reclamation of backfilled area, arboriculture /

afforestation adopted by the mine establishment will be an added

bonus, though expected in distant future.

� The mine is a •zero-dischargeŽ one. If required, water is discharged

only after suitable treatment. No adverse impact on downstream aquatic

life of surface water courses is expected.

� The project is not likely to have impact on the faunal species diversity

within the terrestrial and aquatic habitats.

4.7 IMPACT ON LAND USE AND LANDSCAPE

4.7.1 IMPACT ON LAND USE PATTERN

The major direct impacts on existing land use during the pre-mining phase

area the removal of vegetation and resettlement of displaced population. There may

also be landuse changes with respect to agriculture, fisheries, recreation sites,

housing, forestry areas, etc. Land reclamation / restoration of mined out lands may

CMPDI


give rise to enhanced beneficial land use. There will be change in land use for the

expansion project.

There exists major environment impacts due to landscape disruption

particularly visuals (unsightly huge dumps, voids, mine structures, subsidence, mine

fires, etc.). During mining and post-mining phases drastic changes in landscape with

landforms take place. The major associated impacts are soil-erosion, loss of top soil,

change in complete geology, creation of huge dumps & voids, disposal of wastes,

deforestation, etc.

Irrespective of the type of mining used for extracting coal, mining invariably

results in enormous land disturbance … e.g. large scale excavation, removal of top

soil, dumping of solid wastes, cutting of roads, creation of derelict land, etc. Opencast

mining has more potential impact on land than underground mining. With improved

technology, opencast coal mining is being used extensively because of its cost

effectiveness and productivity; though it results in large-scale land disturbance. The

alteration in land use pattern due to infrastructure is not to be considered as true

change as these facilities can be utilized for some other purposes after the mining

operation is over. The alteration in land use pattern due to activities of quarrying and

external dumping of OB materials may be considered as true change in land use

pattern.

4.7.3 CONTROL MEASURES TO RESTORE LAND USE & LANDSCAPE

� Solid waste generated due to coal extraction will be backfilled. There

will be no externally dumping. The external OB dump has already been

technical reclaimed and biological reclaimed.

� During the process, the geometrical shape of the dumps is altered to

make it amenable to effective biological reclamation and also to provide

safety and stability.

� The face slopes of the dump will be maintained at the natural angle of

repose of the material and at overall slope angle of 28o.

� Suitable drainage arrangement for smooth disposal of storm water.

� Appropriate garland drain is to be provided to collect run-off.

� Backfilled area is to be reclaimed bio-logically and technically.

� Topsoil shall be progressively and concurrently utilized during physical/

technical reclamation of backfilled area, thus obviating the necessity of

storage of topsoil separately.

� Arboriculture is to be carried out in the vacant areas.

� Proper afforestation / plantation are to be carried out for greenbelt

development.

CMPDI


4.8 IMPACT ON TRAFFIC MOVEMENT & CONTROL MEASURES

Coal transportation will take place from CHP to rapid loading system (RLS)

through CCT. Both coal transportation road and the siding are located within the

mine lease area. Therefore, effect of traffic movement within the mining lease area is

negligible on residential area.

The following control measures are adopted and shall be continued:

� Plantation on both sides of the roads on the surface.

� Proper maintenance of road to remove ruts and potholes.

� Proper illumination of roads including haul road.

4.8.1 VISUAL/AESTHETIC IMPACTS & CONTROL MEASURES

The following visual impacts are anticipated:

� Due to excavation of coal and OB as well as transportation, the area

may have spots of eyesore, unless proper mitigatory measures are

adopted.

� Water logging may occur due to changes in the drainage pattern of the

area.

� Loss in aesthetic value of the surrounding environment.

The following control measures are adopted and shall be continued:

� Physical and biological reclamation of mined out land to the extent

possible to ameliorate the environment.

� Regular supervision to detect the spots of eyesore and to remove the

same immediately.

4.9 IMPACTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH

Various respirable and water-borne diseases are cause of concern for public

health and safety in mining areas due to high intensity dust nuisance and pollution of

water bodies and contaminated water supply. Health care centers (medical centers)

CMPDI


are usually distantly located and provision of medical facilities by project developers

results in beneficial impact. There is a general cause of concern for safety due to

blasting/ explosions, noise & vibrations, etc.

4.9.1 CONTROL MEASURES ON PUBLIC HEALTH

Better sanitation, medical facilities and other infrastructural facilities, there is

likelihood of the reduction in disease. However, regular medical check up of

employees particular those put on risky and occupational hazards should be done

periodically.

4.9.2 WELFARE MEASURES FOR EMPLOYEES

Necessary infrastructure facilities like parting, rest area, canteen, etc. have

been provided for the welfare of the employees.

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY 5.1 INTRODUCTION

Coal industry in India has expanded enormously over the years in terms of

volume of production and is poised to grow rapidly in future also to meet the over

increasing energy demand.

In order to meet growing energy demand, opening of new coal mines and

expansion of existing mines are being planned.

The mining operation like drilling, blasting, extraction, transportation, crushing

and other associated activities are carried out in opencast mining. Mining operations

may affect the environment & ecology, unless carefully planned and controlled.

There is a need for balance between mining and environmental requirement.

5.2 MINING TECHNOLOGY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL

MANAGEMENT

In mega opencast mining projects, large tracts of agriculture, forest or other

land are required for excavation thus cause depleting of the forest cover and fertile

land and consequently the ecology & environment of the region. There will be air,

water and noise pollution due to various mining activities like excavation,

transportation, coal beneficiation plant, CHP, workshop, etc.

Considering the working of 13 coal seams and structure with multiple faults

(33 nos.), it is envisaged to continue the present shovel-dumper mining system.

Inclined system of working in the eastern part where moderate seam gradient exist

would be continued. However, it would be necessary to switchover to level slicing in

the remaining area because of steep gradient. For the incremental coal, 3.0 Mty is

proposed to be outsourced by blast-free mining.

CMPDI


Considering presence of (i) multiple coal seams [13 nos.], (ii) highly faulted

structure [33 faults], (iii) steep gradient [10o to 15o], it is proposed to provide hydraulic

excavators to offer more flexible operation. 9.5 cum hydraulic shovels and rear

dumpers 100T are envisaged towards the requirement of additional equipment. 9.5

cum hydraulic shovels would be mainly deployed to extract top overburden alongwith

upper thick parting stratas viz. partings above seams VII, seam VIII & seam IX. Coal

is proposed to be extracted by outsourcing using blast free mining.

Ther different alternative technology are described below:

� Dip rise mining

� Deployment of surface miner

� Blasting technology

� In pit crushing and conveying

� Deployment of high capacity HEMM

� Dip Rise Mining

Depending on the Geo-mining condition dip-rise method of working may be

considered wherever applicable for maximization of internal dumps resulting in less

requirement of land for external overburden dumps.

� Deployment of Surface Miner

Blast free technology (Deployment of Surface Miner), which contributes to

eco-friendly mining, has been been proposed for Lingaraj OC Expn. Project. Surface

miner eliminates the dust/noise generating operations like drilling, blasting, crushing

etc.

� Blasting Technology

The controlled blasting technology will allow the opencast working closer to

the nearby habitations and as a result the requirement of the safety zone will also be

reduced along with the overall requirement of land for mining.

CMPDI



Many of the future opencast mines would require excavation and

transportation of large volume of coal & overburden keeping pollution level within

permissible limit. In-pit crushing and conveying system using mobile/ semi-mobile

crushers may have to be considered with suitable dust suppression arrangements as

an alternative to dumper transport.


Higher capacity HEMM are being planned to use in large capacity mines to

reduce equipment density in the mine, which will result less air and noise pollution.

CMPDI

7.1 DISASTER MANAGEMENT (RISK ASSESSMENT & MANAGEMENT)

7.1.1 INTRODUCTION

Keeping in view the three basic principles i.e. prevention, preparedness (both

pro-active and reactive) and mitigation of effect through rescue, recovery, relief and

rehabilitation; a comprehensive blue print for risk assessment and management has

been drawn-up for the project incorporating the following:

� Identification and assessment of risks.

� Recommendation of measures to prevent damage to life and property

against such risks.

The following disasters / accidents may occur during normal operations of the

mine.

� Slope failure

� Dangers due to handling and use of explosives and accidents due to

Rise in ambient temperature and Combating thermal pollution

Rangadhar Nayak Padmacharan

Samal

Occurrences of spontaneous heating/ fire in the mine/coal stocks are negligible which may contribute to rise in Ambient temperature. However the following actions have been taken for dealing with fire/spontaneous heating. (a) About 80% coal is

produced by cutting through surface miners, thereby reducing the cracks & loose coal which ultimately prevent oxygen to enter into the coal seams, thereby reducing fire/spontaneous heating in the coal seam.

(b) Coal stock has been continuously reduced to have the minimum exposure of coal to the air. On 1st April• 2012 coal stock was 20.69 lakhs te. which is reduced to 11.03 lakhs te. on 31st Oct. 2014.

(c) Firefighting arrangement is in place to deal with fire in the mine if any. A scheme/plan for control & dealing with fire is in place.


CMPDI


Noise pollution due to drilling and blasting


There is no Noise/ vibration pollution in this Mine. The noise & vibration is negligible in this mine as about 80% coal production comes from surface miner where no drilling, blasting or crushing is required. Hence no vibration is occurred. Further rest about 20% coal production where drilling/ blasting is involved, delay detonators is used for reducing the vibration. The Plants & machineries including HEMM are having in-built noise pollution control measures. The noise level is also measured fortnightly in four monitoring stations around the mine. The monitoring reports show that noise level are always within the prescribe limit.


Ground water depletion

Purnachandra Sahoo Padmacharan Samal

7.6 RAIN WATER HARVESTING

Rain water is naturally pure water except where it becomes acidic due to

industrial pollution.

The rapid exploitation of ground water as well as surface water due to the

industrial developmental projects, infrastructural development and increase in

population resulted in acute scarcity of fresh water availability in many regions of

India as well as States. Fresh water is very necessary for the living being on this

planet Earth. It has become necessary to conserve this valuable natural resource for

sustainable development. Conservation of this valuable natural resource can be done

by collecting this rain water scientifically and utilizing it either for drinking purpose,

irrigation purpose or ground water recharging purpose. Scientifically and technically

designed system which helps us to collect and utilize the rain water effectively

through various steps and collectively termed as Rain Water Harvesting System.

Ministry of Water Resource and its subordinate offices have taken various

steps to conserve this valuable natural resources through scientifically and technically

watershed management systems.

CMPDI


Different Methods

(i) Roof-top catchment : The roof-top water collected can be made

drinkable after suitable treatment. The excess water that flows can be stored

in underground storage tanks. The water collected from this source is mostly

used for storage purposes to be used later for dust suppression on roads and

fire-fighting.

(ii) Check dams : Check dams can be constructed with locally available

materials. Different types are like Brush wood dam, loose rock dam and

woven wire dam. The main function of the check dam is to impede the soil

and water removed from the watershed. This structure is cheap, but lasts

about 2-5 years.

(iii) Percolation pond: The percolation pond is a multipurpose

conservation structure depending on its location and size. It stores water for

livestock and recharges the groundwater. It is constructed by excavating a

depression, forming a small reservoir or by constructing an embankment in a

natural ravine or gully to form an impounded type of reservoir.

7.7 SLOPE STABILITY

Lingaraj OC expansion project (Phase III) Normative 16.0 Mty (Peak 20.0

Mty) has been carried out by CMPDI (HQs) Ranchi. The abstract of the slope

stability report is given below:

7.7.1 Slope

Any structure either naturally occurred or artificially built when takes the

shape by increasing the height with horizon in reference to plane is called slope.

Slopes of the earth are of two types

1. Natural slopes

2. Artificial slopes

CMPDI


Natural slopes are those that exist in natures and are formed by natural

causes and generally exist in hilly area.

Artificial slopes are created by man such as cutting of sides, construction of

dam, highway embankment, mining benches and OB dumps, etc.

7.7.2 Factors governing the Slope Stability

There are two main aspects of slope failure and they are natural and man

made disturbances. The seismic activities of the earth crust, rain, tornado and

geology come under the naturally occurred disturbance. The blasting, excavation,

dumping are the man made disturbance for slope instability. Following are the main

factors that influence the slope stability.

7.7.2.1 Geo physical parameters

(a) Shear strength parameters:-

This is the basic parameters and holds the key role to control the

stability of the slope but it is most difficult to comprehend it accurately.

The fundamental shear strength equation proposed by French engineer

Coulomb is S=C + � Tan (�).

(b) Bulk density of dump mass:

Bulk density of dump mass determines the weight of waste rock and ply

very important role in calculation of stability of the dump mass

(c) Base of the Dump

Base of the OB dump should be strong enough to bear the load of the

dump otherwise base failure may crop up.

(d) Grain size distribution of the dump material:

It indicates composition of dump material comprising of clay, silt, sand,

gravels and boulders. It influences the permeability, density, shear strength

parameters and other characteristics of the soil materials.

CMPDI


(e) Plastic Limits

Atterberg limits determine the expansive and liquid properties of the

material. In case of expansive soil, shear strength properties drastically

changes when coming in contact with water.

(f) Co-efficient of permeability:

This parameter implies seepage properties of water and facilitate in

computation of seepage force exerting on dump materials

7.7.2.2 Hydro-Geological parameters…

The effect of Hydro-geology in determining stability of dump is as follows:

A. Shear strength parameters of dump materials get affected due to water

saturation during rainy season.

B. Accumulated water at the base gives buoyancy effect on dump

materials as well reduce cohesion and friction of dump and interface

materials.

C. Seepage of water exerts dragging force on the dump materials.

Seepage pressure acts below the pheratic line and in the direction of

flow. It can be calculated by

� knowing the pore water pressure or

� Drawing the pheratic line.

D. Rain water erode slope surface and create large rill and gullies on slope

surface which damage the slope profile and causes slope failure.

7.7.2.3 Geo-mining parameters

A Mine floor inclination

Mine floor inclination reduces the effective angle of repose of overlaid

OB dump such as shear strength of materials.

B Blasting affect create encourage

Blasting generate vibrations in the surrounding region that induces

acceleration imply dynamic forces which affect the stability of slope.

CMPDI


C Profile of the dump

The profile of the dump, i.e height and berm guide the overall slope

angle of the dump. This should be less than angle of repose of the

materials.

D Location of dump

Location of dump site also play crucial role in the stability of the slope.

Base of dump must be strong and away from the quarry edge to avoid

base failure and differential settlement of dump or highwall.

E Surcharge

The surcharge load increases the horizontal & vertical load and

amplifies seismic effects. Thus affect the slope stability.

7.7.2.4 Dynamic forces:

(A) Seismic forces

Earthquake experience by a structure depends on its own dynamic

characteristics and ground motions such that random motion of ground,

vibration intensity, magnitude of the earthquake; depth of focus, distance

from the epicenter and the strata on which the structure stands.

Seismic force/coefficient � h is calculated as per the IS Code by following

two methods and higher value will be taken for slope stability calculation.

a) Seismic Coefficient Method,

b) Response Spectrum method

(B) Blasting Effect

(i) Peak particle Velocity

The types of explosive directly influence ground vibration that and

create PPV in the ground. This PPV affects the stability of slope.

CMPDI


Following is the typical graph of blasting in Opencast mine.

It is found that PPV of less than 50 mm/s would have low probability to

damage the structural of residential buildings.

In the studies it is established that in our case 75% to 80% times blast

frequency comes in the range of 8-25 Hz.

(C) Moving force

Moving force is type of live load that comes from the vehicular

movement including the HEMM. These moving loads create the

dynamic/static load besides the breaking and acceleration jerks. This load

affects the slope stability.

7.7.3 Types of failure:

A slope may have various types of failures which depend upon the type of

materials, dump profile, dump base, etc. In our case, generally following types of

failure occurs:

A. Circular failure …

Circular failure generally occurs in high dump, soil having low shear

strength and base of dump material stronger than dump materials.

CMPDI


B. Circular-cum-planar Failure …

It occurs when the shear strength of interface material between dump

and the mine floor is less than that of dump material and the dump is

standing on steep mine floor.

C. Base failure -

It occurs when the weak strata lies beneath the toe of the dump.

7.7.4 Calculation of FoS

This is a ratio of the stabilizing force to mobilisitation force developed at the

sliding surface. The factor of safety gives relative static state of the studied slope

about its mobilization at a glance.

It has envisaged a factor of safety more than 1.10 in the design of slope

stability is safe if appropriate seismic acceleration is considered and more than 1.20

if seismic acceleration is not considered.

7.7.4.1 SLOPE ANALYSIS

Limit equilibrium method is widely used for slope stability analysis nowadays.

This method takes in to account the physical constraints under which the OB dumps

are generated and effect of both of dynamic and static acceleration. The effects of

tension cracks and varied hydrological conditions towards the stability are also

modeled.

Today large number of different suitable software/tools are available for the

analyzing the slope stability for the dump/ waste rock piles and highwall.

7.7.4.2 Software

One of the leading software for analyzing the stability of the slope is

GALENA, which is used here for analyzing slope stability. It is very powerful and

accurate slope stability software and incorporates the Bishop Simplified, the Spencer-

Wright and the Sharma method of analysis to determine the stability of slope The

Bishop method is used to determine the stability of slope of circular failure surface,

CMPDI


the Spencer-Wright method is applicable for circular and non circular failure surface

and Sharma method is used for problem where non vertical slices are required.

7.7.4.3 Forces

(a) Seepage Pressure

Pore water pressure is determined by taking into account the actual shape of

phreatic line. Below the ground water table, analysis proceeds using the unit

weight of saturated soil � sat and uplift pressure; above the ground water table

the analysis assumes the inputted unit weight of soil � .

(b) Tension Cracks

Tensile cracks that appear on terrain surface are filled with water h, exerts

extra lateral pressure. Since, it is assumed that tensile cracks, if any will be

filled up immediately so affect of it is not taken in computations.

Fh

SLIP CIRCLE

TENSION CRACK

Fig-4.3 A

(c) Ground Acceleration

Horizontal acceleration Kh arises due to earthquake and blasting is calculated

and higher value has been taken for slope stability analysis. Horizontal

acceleration Kh coefficient taken for analysis is 0.016.

(d) Surcharge

Since, it is external dump so it is assumed that there will be no moving or

static surcharge either on the inclined slope or top of the slope. Hence no

surcharge affect is to be considered in the analysis of the slope stability,

(e) Shear Strength of materials

Shear strength of the soil, consisting Cohesion & Angle of repose is judicially

decided after study the result of physical Mechanical properties of Borehole

log, Back Analysis data of same type of mines. Since soil is heterogeneous

CMPDI


materials, so few test of soil can not represent the whole mass dump.

Different soil test report shows the large variation in test results. So, after

giving the sensible thought on various existing report following value of shear

strength parameters have been chosen.

Cohesion … 53 pa, Angle of friction - 250. However detailed analysis of

Physico mechanical properties would be required for making the final report

for slope stability.

7.7.4.4 Method of analysis

More than 80% slope failure is either circular or near circular in nature. So

Modified (or Simplified) Bishop's method is used for slope analysis which is one of

the most suitable methods for circular slope failure. The method satisfies all

conditions of equilibrium, (i.e. horizontal force, vertical force and moment equilibrium

for each slice.

7.7.4.5 Analysis

Analysis has been done with the help of Galena software. Galena works by

creating a model that represent a slope. The basic data component is materials

profile, physical properties of profile, slope surface and tentative failure surface.

Generally circular failure occurs in loose material, so Bishop•s simplified method has

been used for the analysis of dump.

7.7.4.6 INPUT

A) Profile of dump –

External OB dump and highwall are the essential part of the Open Cast

Mining system particularly initial phase of mining operation.

Our intended object for the slope stability analysis is to check the stability of

the proposed external OB dump and highwall. This dump is located at south-eastern

side of quarry having the overall slope angle 240 and height is 225 m and maximum

height of high wall is 225 m and overall angle is 450 C. In first glance, as per vertical

& horizontal ratio of slope it seems to be stable.

7.7.4.8 Conclusions & Recommendations

7.7.4.8.1 Conclusion

1. Height of external cum internal dump is approximately 245m from floor

of seam to top of dump and average slope angle from toe to top is

about 230.

2. Maximum height of high wall is 245 and average slope angle from floor

of seam to surface is 450.

3. Analysis is done for various combination of slip circle between the top of

the dump and the base of dump. Minimum FoS comes to 1.09 which is

just lower then the desire value1.10.

4. Analysis is also done for various combination of slip circle between the

ground surfaces to the base of base of highwall. Minimum FoS comes

to 1.69.

5. Earthquake / blasting affect has been considered in the analysis.

6. Analysis is done for drained conditions. However affect of Pheretic line

has been taken for below the ground level.

7. Slope of given profile of highwall, at present situation is safe in all

conditions.

8. Slope stability of external dump cum internal dump at proposed profile

is susceptible condition so work should be done very carefully near the

CMPDI


toe of dump. Space between toe of dump and any type of activities

should not be less than the height of dump at that place.

7.7.4.8.2 Recommendations

1. Top of the dump should be leveled with the provision of kerb all along the

dump with proper drainage arrangement at top as well as along the

slope which will prevent the formation of deep gully on dump slope.

2. The toe of the dump (bottom of coal rib) should not be eroded or cut at

any

point of time to avoid the failure of slope.

3. Formation of dumping should be done in square or circular shape as far

as possible.

4. Edge of dump should be in straight line or in large smooth curvature as

far as possible. Zig - zag dumping should be avoided as it poses the

some complication in stability of slope.

5. Top surface of OB dump should have transverse and longitudinal slope

of 1:50 spreading outward so as rain water can be evacuated easily (as

shown in the diagram below). Berm of 15 to 20 cm will be provided all

round the top of OB dump. This will prevent the water spillage on

inclined face of dump. Drain on inclined face and catch drain at each

layer should be provided to facilitate the water drainage.

CMPDI


8. Regular monitoring is required for development of tension crack,

Gullies, movement of soil mass, stagnation of water and any other

unusual occurrence.

9. A detailed study on slope stability should be done before starting the

project

7.7.4.9 Limitations

1. Soil is very complex and complicated matter due to availability in infinite

combination of soil mixing.

2. In nature, heterogeneous type of soil is found which has different

properties at different depth and places.

3. Accurate soil properties can not be tested in laboratory because no

theory can simulated the field conditions.

4. OB dump given for study is completely heterogeneous soil contains soft

clay to hard rock of different size varying from less than a millimeter to

more than a meter.

5. It is very difficult to take the soil sample from the deep inside the OB

dump.

6. Few testing of samples can not represent the whole mass of OB dump.

7. Judicious combination of theory and experience can help to arrive at

right conclusion.

8. It is very difficult to assess the accurate pore water pressure and

pheratic line of the dump.

9. All the software and calculation are based on homogeneous soil .

10. All normal failure conditions are checked for determination of FoS but

powerful nature can do something else.

11. In geo-technical engineering field there are many uncertain factors

needs further study. As a result, factor of safety determined may not be

very precise.

12. Only one section of the dump is analyzed for slope stability. However

more detail analysis is required for confirmation of results.

Geographical area of buffer zone around 10 kms radius of the mining area of Lingaraj

OCP is 443.76 km2.

The land use of the buffer zone area of 443.76 Km2 is as follows: Forest area : 186.11 Km2 Total cultivable area : 152.44 Km2

- Irrigated agricultural land : 16.55 Km2 - Un irrigated land : 135.88 Km2

Economic profile Agriculture is the main stay in the occupation of the people living in the area. However, other professions like mining and quarrying have dominant role in the economic scene of the buffer zone.

CMPDI


Land and agriculture Crop land constitutes 28.58% of the total area of the buffer zone

Cultivation is carried out mostly under rain fed conditions. Area under irrigation constitutes 10.86% of the total area in the buffer zone.

Buffer zone is by and large mono-cropped.

Farmers are mostly dependent on kharif paddy.

The occurrence of prominent water bodies around the Lingaraj OCP are as follows:

Sl. No. Water bodies Distance in km 1 Bangaru jhar 2.40 km 2 Brahmani River 3.00 km 3 Nandira jhar 6.25 km 4 Singhada jhar 12.50 km 5 Satyabadi sagar pond Extinct 6 Samal barrage 15.0 km

Impact on riparian system Among above mentioned water bodies, Samal barrage which is located

across the Brahmani river, is irrigating the land. The other drainages are passing

through coal bearing area are not irrigating land. These drainages are acting as

surface run-off drain in the area.

Rengali River Valley Development Project (RRVDP) consists of two parts and

those are (i) Dam and (ii) Barrage. The dam is located at village Rengali in the district

of Dhenkanal, Orissa at Latitude: 21° 17' 0" N. Longitude: 85° 02' 0" N, Toposheet

No. 73/G/3. The catchments area at dam site is 25250 square km. The objectives of

the dam are:

i. Controlling flood in the lower deltaic region covering an area of 2600 Sq.

Km.

ii. Generating 5 x 50 MW of Hydropower.

It is a dam of masonry gravity type with a length of 1040 m at the top and

CMPDI


maximum height of 71 meters at the deepest bed level. There are 24 number of

radial crest gates of size 15.5 meters x 14.8 m to discharge maximum probable

flood of 55,550 cumecs have been routed to 46,960 cumecs. Top level of dam is

128.5 m (Dalua, 1991). Gross capacity of reservoir at full reservoir level is 4400

million cum. Live storage capacity at full reservoir level is 3452 million cum. The

main purpose of the dam is flood control since after joining with a branch of river

Baitarani and forming a net of branches in the delta it creates flood havoc and

becomes the river of sorrow for major part of the Cuttack and Puri delta area.

Rengali dam through which maximum discharge of 55,550 cumecs is probable

during any flood, has been able to reduce to 46,960 cumecs out of it due to

construction of 24 redial crest gates. Maximum water level in the dam is 125.40

metres, full reservoir level is 123.50 metres and dead storage level is 109.7 metres.

It has been able to moderate its flood over an area of 2,500 Sq. Km. Brahmani and

Baitarani delta. Next priority for Rengali Dam is power generation with installed

capacity of 250 MW. Figure1: Index map of Rengali Multipurpose Dam Project

CMPDI


Samal Barrage is part of the Rengali Irrigation Project. Samal barrage is located

34 km down stream of Rengali dam. It intercepts two tributaries of river Brahmani i.e

Tikira and Samakoi, the objective of Samal Barrage is to provide irrigation to about

3.72 lakh hectares of agricultural land in the state of Odisha. The barrage is 560 m

long with provision for road and bridge over it. It has its own provision for reservoir to

store water and to discharge it through its canal. The left main canal irrigate 1.38 lakh

hectares in Dhenkanal, Cuttack, Keonjhar and Balasore districts, similarly the right

main canal irrigate 0.70 lakh hectare in Dhenkanal and Cuttack district.

However, the following changes has been assessed on hydrology and

hydrogeology due to mining and respective corrective measures are in vogue.

- Disruption of natural drainages network located in core zone is re-

aligned to the natural drainage slope. River/stream flow at any point of

time during mining will not be checked.

CMPDI


- Siltation and choking of water courses resulting in scarcity of surface

water and flooding problem in the area is avoided by making foot drain

and catch drain in the overburden dumps. These drain collect run-off

from dump and direct it to settling tank/sedimentation pond before

discharge to nearby natural water courses. Periodically sedimentation

tanks are cleared.

- Reduction in storm run-off and surface run-off is controlled by the

formation of garland drain around excavation area and storm water

drain in infrastructure premises.

- Early drying up of surface water bodies like ponds, lakes and stream

flow by declining of ground water level is generally to the limited extent

around excavation or quarry area. The lowering of water level is

temporary phenomena. Backfilling once reached to its predetermined

level seepages from the excavation zone is considerably reduced,

thereby declining of ground water will also be reduced around the mine.

- The water balance study of the area has been made through rainfall

recharge. The total replenishable annual rainfall recharge in the area

has been assessed as 146.47Mm3. The water demand foreseeable in

the area around 10 km radius of the project for irrigating land, human

population, forest, cattle population, cumulative mine discharge and

industrial demand has been assessed as 34.05 Mm3/annum.

- The total annual rainfall run-off/stream flow in the drainages around 10

km radius of the area for downstream user is 320.80Mm3/annum. The

total available utilizable resource in the area is 112.47Mm3/annum. The

stage of ground water development in the area is 26.33% which is safe

category.

In view of above observations, the riparian system within 10 km radius of

mining area will not be affected.

8.3 IMPROVEMENT IN SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

There would be some obvious changes in various environmental paramterss

due to mining activity, increased economic activities and creation of new employment

CMPDI


opportunity, infrastructural development, better educational and healthcare facilties.

Following are the specific impacts.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC

Overall there will be positive impact in socio-economic area due to increased

economic activities, creation of new employment opportunities, infrastructural

development and better educational and healthcare facilties. The impact in the Core

Zone and Buffer Zone is due to the following :

POPULATION DYNAMICS

Due to direct and indirect employment potential, there is scope of migration

of people into project area and in the peripheral regions, from nearby areas. Mining

activities, acceleration of the economic activities and urbanization along with creation

of new employment opportunities and business may change the population dynamics

of the area.

STANDARD OF LIVING

The people will come in contact with migrated people. This may encourage

higher aspirations among the people of the area. Accelerated economic activities

and urbanization may increase quality of life and standard of living.

HEALTH CARE FACILITIES

MCL will undertake awareness programme and community activities, like

health camps, medical aids, family welfare camps, AIDS awareness programme,

immunization camp, etc.

8.4 EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL

There is a possibility of creation of direct and indirect employment

opportunities due to working of this mine. Overall, this will have positive impact on

socio-economic profile of the area.

CMPDI


MCL will undertake skill development & capacity building programmes like

vocational training, income generation and entrepreneurship development.

8.5 OTHER TANGIBLE BENEFITS

Mahanadi Coalfields Limited is facing increasing demand of power grade

coal because of superior grade, long flame and other consumer friendly

characteristics. Continuing and augmentation of coal production from the mines of

MCL will help to bridge the gap of demand and supply of superior power grade coal

in India. To meet the growing demand of coal, especially in power sector, sponge

iron sector and brick and other small scale sectors, MCL has planned to increase its

production capacity.

The mine will also contribute to the Exchequer of State and Central

Government.

Development of any nation is measured by the consumption of the electric

power (per capita). Huge demand of power is taking place to sustain the economic

growth of the country, since our country is progressing at a growth rate of about 9%

per annum in the recent years. Coal being prime mover of thermal power generating

stations (more than 70% of electrical energy is generated by Thermal Power Stations

by burning the fossil fuel), the demand of coal has also increased very rapidly, forcing

the existing mines to produce more. The availability of electrical power meets the

rising demand of various industries thereby improvement in over all economic growth

of the country.

CMPDI


10.1.9.4 MANAGEMENT OF RECLAIMED LAND

There are several options available for land use pattern of the reclaimed land.

The following factors have been considered for selection of appropriate land use

pattern:

� Pre-mining land use pattern

� Topsoil/sub-soil quality

� Socio-economic parameters of the area

� Availability of technology for land reclamation

� Climatic conditions of the area

� Local flora.

The alternatives available for utilising the reclaimed land are :

Agricultural use

Afforestation

The option for using the reclaimed backfilled area for agricultural

purpose immediately is ruled out due to the following reasons :

� The reclaimed land is very different from its pre-mining conditions. It

cannot sustain crops as the soil has poor fertility status. So the

agriculture may prove uneconomic venture compared to afforestation.

� The development of soil regime for agriculture will take a considerable

time.

� Reclamation is proposed to be done progressively and concurrently with

mining operation. Carrying out agriculture within mining activity area by

releasing reclaimed area in a phase-wise manner, may not be advisable

from safety point of view.

In view of the above, it is suggested to utilise the reclaimed land for

afforestation purpose which will help improve the soil status i.e texture

and nutrient levels, etc.

CMPDI


10.1.9.4 MANAGEMENT OF MINED-OUT VOID 10.1.9.4.1 SOLID WASTE GENERATION OF LINGARAJ OCP

222.23 Mm3 overburden (Solid Waste) will be generated. The life of mine is

21 years (as on 1.4.2010). On 2nd year production target will be achieved. Already

60.11 ha of internal OB dump area has been technically reclaimed. About 20.6ha of

internal dump has been biologically reclaimed. A volume of 8.18Mm3 will be

temporarily dumped externally for first two years of mine operation. Out of 256.03ha

of external OB dump area, about 55.09ha of land has been biologically reclaimed. All

the solid waste will be backfilled from the 1st year of operation in the expansion

project.

OB dumping

During working of these mines void generated in these mines can only be

used for backfilling of its own overburden. Wide road all along the floor of the mine

from surface to quarry bottom has to be maintained for transport of coal, overburden,

machinery and manpower. Proper slopes have to be maintained towards both quarry

and dump edges. Towards dipside sufficient barrier has to be maintained between

dump slope and quarry working face. So during working phase of the mine its void

generation will be slow or it can be said that all the voids available cannot be filled up

completely due to operational and safety reasons.

The schedule of OB dumping considering neighbouring mines is given in the

below table :

Land reclamation

This is carried out in two distrinct stages :

� Technical reclamation

� Biological reclamation

� Technical reclamation

External OB dumping

External OB dump area of 66.09 ha and 65.09 ha has been technically

& biologically reclaimed respectively. A quantity of 8.18 Mm3 of OB will

be dumped externally in the expansion project. The face of slope of

external dump has been maintained at the natural angle of repose and

over all slopes has been kept at an angle 28o. Drainage arrangement

have been provided around external OB dump area to avoid gully

formation. Garland drain with settling tanks have been provided to

collect run off sedimentation ponds in order to avoid silt.

Backfilling and reshaping of internal dump

The total area of quarry excavation for this project is 538.851 ha. Of this

275.85 ha (as on 31.12.2014) has been excavated and the balance

263.001 ha will be excavated. In Lingaraj OC Expn. Project (20.0 Mty

Peak), the overburden (222.23 Mm3) of expansion project will be

removed out of which 214.05 Mm3 overburden will be backfilled.

Major part of the quarry will be backfilled with overburden. The

backfilling will be carried out in a phased manner. Once the backfilling

has reached a certain predetermined reduced level, the plots will be

levelled, graded and cleared of large stone pieces lying on the surface.

The slope of the ground will be made very gentle as far as possible

(preferably less than 2%). The graded and levelled area will be divided

into small sectors and small check bunds will be constructed to retain

moisture and humus in the soil. The outer slope of each bench will be

kept at the natural angle of repose of the spoil material and at overall

slope angle of 28O considering all benches.

CMPDI


Grass carpeting will be done during mining period. All the over burden

above ground level in the internal dump and in the external dump will be

rehandled and levelled in the mined out work.

During post closure period out of total mining lease area of 1410.01 ha,

309.331 ha is available for plantation, 361.86 ha is available for

agriculture, and 246.71 ha is left for water body for water harvesting and

over burden material for future neighbouring nearby mines.

� Biological reclamation

Biological reclamation of mined out area is dealt in para 10.3.

For successful biological reclamation of the reclaimed area, preference

will be given to endemic species and mixed culture. The species will be

selected carefully from the following groups for quick reclamation :

� Nitrogen fixing tree species for fuel wood, timber and fodder

� Fruit bearing tree species

� Tree species with dense foliage for shade

CMPDI


� Flowering and ornamental tree species.

The area likely to be available after technical reclamation at different

time horizon is indicated below:

1. External OB dump (66.09 ha area) has already been technically

reclaimed.

2. Upto end of mine life (i.e. upto 21 years) backfilling will be

continued for an area of 292.141 ha and 186.311 ha will be

available for plantation.

� Quarry and internal dumps

Having backfilled the decoaled area with overburden, internal dumps

will be reclaimed and then revegetated. The remaining void in the

quarry will be developed as water harvesting structure as well as

public utility lagoon which will serve following purposes :

� Source of supply of water for industrial and fire fighting purposes.

� Source of supply of potable water after necessary treatment.

� A place of bathing and washing for the local population.

� Pisciculture.

� For recharging the aquifer in the area.

For such purposes, the pathway to the reservoir is gently graded and

the depth of water is limited.

10.1.9.6 MANAGEMENT OF TOPSOIL

This is an opencast mine. The topsoil from still unbroken area will be scraped

for progressive and concurrent utilisation during technical reclamation of backfilled

area, thus obviating the necessity of storage of topsoil separately.

10.1.9.7 MANAGEMENT / DECOMMISSIONING OF INFRASTRUCTURE

The infrastructure like workshop, office buildings, residential colony, roads

and transmission lines, etc., will be provided for the project. Considering the ground

realities existing during the period just 1 year before mine closure plan for reutilization

in neighbouring mines or decommissioning will be made. If decommissioning of

CMPDI


infrastructure is done, the land occupied by the infrastructure will be restored for

some useful purpose. The cost for decommissioning will be met from the 'Escrow

account' created for mine closure activities.

10.1.9.8 MANAGEMENT OF DISPOSAL OF MINING MACHINERY The salvaging and shifting operation of mining machinery and other

equipment will be planned considering the ground realities existing during the period

1 year advance of final closure of the mine.

10.1.10 ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

10.1.10.1 MANAGEMENT OF HYDROLOGY & HYDROGEOLOGY DURING MINE PERIOD AND POST MINING CLOSURE PERIOD.

� During mining period

� Assessment of hydrology and hydro-geology of the area Investigations have been carried out in and around the area

comprising of core and buffer zones of this project. The matter

has been dealt.

� Estimation of ground water availability of the area Ground water availability of the area comprising of core and

buffer zones of this project has been assessed.

� Water demand, dewatering of the mine and waste water management

The above details have been given in this report. � Impact of the mine on ground water and surface water The impacts have been assessed and given in this report.

� During post-mine closure period

Surface flow pattern of precipitation run-off and mine water has been

discussed in this report.

CMPDI


� Management of recharge areas

It is also observed from the contour maps, there are a few

localized ground water troughs and mounds and watershed boundaries

generally coincide with ground water divides. There is a ground water

divide orienting north-west to south-east between Manikamara

(Krishnachandrapur) to Dasanali villages. This groundwater divide acts

as drainage divide of the area. This ground water and drainage divide

make a part of ground water movement as well as a part of surface run-

off towards the north-west contributing to Bangaru jhara and balance

flow towards Nandira jhar.

Mining operation of this project will create voids or depressions, which

will induce / accelerate rainfall recharge and decrease run-off in the

mining area. Maximum effort will be made to recycle or reuse the

treated mine discharge water totally to the extent possible by keeping

the make of water in different sumps or low lying areas of the mine.

The remaining water will be discharged to the natural drainage for

ground water recharge in the same basin. The final voids of the quarry

will be left as a water reservoir for water harvesting and also recharging

the aquifer in the surrounding area.

For the purpose of understanding impact of mining activity on groundwater in

the vicinity, a dug well from Deulbera village has been selected for year on

year fluctuation study. Based on the data, it can be inferred that over the years

ground water levels in Deulbera village have marginally decreased and thus

mining activity has little influence on the groundwater.

� Acceptable surface and ground water flows

The drainage arrangement for smooth disposal of storm water from OB

dump will be made to avoid gully formation on the dump body and also

siltation problem of the nearby natural drains.

CMPDI


10.1.10.5 DRAINAGE ARRANGEMENT FOR EXTERNAL OB DUMP & FOR INTERNAL DUMP

� Drainage arrangement for OB dumps

�� Catch drain

Catch drain of appropriate size has been provided on all terrace at

the foot of next bench to receive the storm water from upper bench.

� Foot drain / Garland drain

Garland drain have been provided through out OB dump along with

settling tanks. Water discharges to natural courses after the settling

tank.

� Drainage arrangement for internal OB dumps

A part of the quarry will be backfilled with overburden. The backfilling

will be carried out in a phased manner. Once the backfilling has

reached a certain predetermined reduced level, the plots will be levelled

graded and cleared of large stone pieces lying on the surface. The

slope of the ground will be made very gentle as far as possible

(preferably less than 2%). The graded and leveled area will be divided

into small sectors and small check bunds will be constructed to retain

moisture and humus in the soil. The drainage arrangements for

precipitation run-off are as follows:

� During working stage, the run-off will be collected from internal

dump by foot drain for diverting to mine sump for pumping.

� In the post-mining period, the drainage pattern of the reclaimed

area will be such that the run-off will be diverted to final void of the

quarry which will be developed as a water reservoir for water

harvesting and also recharging the aquifer in the surrounding

area.

There is an intricate relationship between surface water and ground

water. In the monsoon period, till the aquifer attains its original ground

water level, surface water bodies like stream, ponds & lakes recharge

CMPDI


the aquifer. As soon as ground water recoups and attains its level, it

contributes again to surface water bodies. After post-monsoon period,

this process is reversed again as ground water level gets lowered from

the original level.

The mine dewatering brings down ground water level in the immediate

vicinity of the mine. Maximum effort will be made to recycle or reuse the

treated mine discharge water totally to the extent possible by keeping

the make up water in different sumps or low lying areas of the project.

In unusual situations during monsoon, mine discharge water will be

allowed to go as recharge/run-off in the same basin of the area.

As such, this area is having an average annual rainfall of 1256.56 mm.

This rainfall replenishes the annual ground water draft every year. This

will enhance the recharge of the aquifer in the area for mitigating the

lowering of ground water level in the area surrounding the mine.

10.1.10.6 RECLAMATION OF DUMP(S) & ADJOINING AREAS.

Biological reclamation have been done for different projects of the adjoining

area. Plantation on OB dump have been carried out in Hingula OCP (14.738 ha),

Balaram OCP (56.283 ha), Bharatpur OCP (124.048 ha), Jagannath OCP (164.260

ha), Lingaraj OCP (20.60 ha) and Balanda OCP (190.498 ha).

10.1.10.7 REHABILITATION & RESETTLEMENT

1134 project affected families from 20 (twenty) inhabited villages namely,

Balugaon, Balugaon-Khamar, Langijoda, Ambamunda, Nakulbaspur, Hensamul and

Madanmohanpur besides some uninhabited villages involving 3472 project affected

persons will be rehabilitated in the rehabilitation colony. All civic amenities in the

rehabilitation colony will be provided

CMPDI


10.1.10.8 MANAGEMENT OF AIR QUALITY

Management of air quality has been dealt in detail in report. After cessation

of mining and its related activities, there will be no effect on ambient air quality due to

this project. As the proper mitigatory measures for air pollution control measures will

be taken in the neighbouring mines, there will be no effect on the ambient air quality

after closure of mine.

10.1.10.9 MANAGEMENT OF WASTES

� NON-TOXIC SOLID WASTE

The solid wastes (222.23 Mm3) generated from the mine during the coal

production are non-hazardous and non-toxic in nature. The above solid wastes will be

disposed by backfilling the mined out area and then revegetating without causing any

siltation problem on surface water bodies.

� TOXIC WASTES

Toxic wastes like used oil, used batteries, oily sludge, besides filter and filter

materials containing oil during maintenance of vehicles will be generated from this

project.

Used oil will be stored in drums safely in store either for disposal through

auction to the authorized reprocessors or for use as lubricant in U/G mines. Used

batteries will be stored safely for auction to the authorized reprocessors. As regards

oily sludge besides filter and filter materials, the same will be disposed off in

impervious layer lined pits without causing environmental hazards.

10.1.11 SOCIAL ASPECTS

10.1.11.1 REDEPLOYMENT OF WORKFORCE

The peak workforce required for mine operations is in the first few years of

the mine when construction activities as well as operational activities achieve their

peak. This workforce slowly goes down with completion of development and when

only the operational work remains. Again, near the end of mine life say, 5 years

advance of closure, the activity of the mine starts getting reduced and therefore,

management will get opportunity to taper the operational manpower. After closure,

CMPDI


skeleton service people will be left for continuing the actual closer operations. The

reduction of manpower will be effected by following options:

� Retraining and redeployment of younger groups upto 40 years of age.

� Transfer of experienced middle aged groups between 40-50 years to

the other projects.

� Implementation of VRS for age group of above 50.

� Retrenchment with suitable compensation after exhausting the above.

10.1.11.2 MANAGEMENT OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES The peripheral village community facilities developed by the Mine Authority

will be left to the Local Body / State Govt. for management.

10.1.11.3 MANAGEMENT OF ASSOCIATION AND CONSULTATION WITH STAKE HOLDERS

The effective implementation of the mine closure plan requires detailed

consultation with stake holders like employee, trade union, mine related business,

state and central govt. agencies, etc. Association and consultation of different stake

holders will make them actively involved, and thus smooth mine closure operation

may be possible.

10.1.12 SAFETY & SECURITY ASPECTS 10.1.12.1 DISASTER MANAGEMENT These aspects have been dealth in this report in detail. 10.1.12.2 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DURING TEMPORARY

DISCONTINUANCE

The guidelines/instructions from DGMS will be followed in case of

discontinuance of mine operation, if any.

10.1.12.3 MANAGEMENT OF FIRE

The measures for management of fire at coal faces in the mine and coal

10.1.13 FINANCIAL ASPECTS AND COST OF MINE CLOSURE The cost of the mine closure of the project will be estimated during the

formulation of project report / mine plan comprising of cost of relamation of mined out

area, cost of air quality protection measure, decommissioning cost of infrastructure,

cost of safety & security, socio-economic cost, cost of organization for executing the

closure activities, cost of post project monitoring for three years, rehabilitation of

mining machinery (disposal of mining machinery), arboriculture and land scaping

including biological reclamation and cost of barbed wire fencing all around working

area. The mine closure cost as mentioned above, for Lingaraj OC Expn.

Project (20.0 Mty) has been be considered Rs.7.90 lakh per ha [as per WPI (Mar,

2013)]. Annual closure cost has been computed considering the total leasehold area

as per guide line. The Money to be leived per hectare of mining lease is to be

deposited every year after commencement of any activity on the land for the mine

after opening an Escrow Account. Mining Company/owner including all Public Sector

Unertakings will deposite the yearly amount in a Schdeluded Bank. The details of the

final mine Closure Plan along with the details of the cost estimate for various mine

closure activites and Escrow Account shall be submitted to the Ministry of Coal for

approval. An amount equal to the annual cost is to be deposited each year

throughout the mine life compounded @ 5% annually. Annual closure cost is to be

computed considering the total leasehold area at the above mentioned rates and

dividing the same by the life of mine. When implementation of the final mine closure

scheme is undertaken by the mine owner starting five years before the scheduled

closure of mining operations, the Coal Controller may permit withdrawals (four years

before final mine closure date) from the Escrow Account propositionate to the

quantum of work carried out, as reimbursement. The withdrawn amount each year

shall not exceed 20% of the total amount deposited in the account.

10.1.14 COST OF MINE CLOSURE (ABANDONMENT COST)

The total mine lease area is 1410.01 ha project.

The total mine closure cost is Rs.19893.89 lakhs including compound

interest. This cost involves barbed wire fencing all around the working area,

dismantling of the structure / demolition and cleaning of sites, rehabilitation of mining

10.2.1 MANAGEMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE

� Industrial Structures

As far as possible, industrial structures will be utilised by the adjacent

projects. However, if these structures are not found fit at the end of mine life, the

same will be dismantled and salvaged. The equipment will be removed and used

somewhere else. Every effort will be made to restore the area to economic utilisation

value as per the mine closure plan.

CMPDI


� Service Buildings and Colony

In association with the appropriate agencies (Central/State/Social Organisation), these buildings will be utilised for some beneficial purposes to be identified for mine closure planning during one year before closure of the mine. The vacant land within the leasehold area will be afforested and made fit for purposeful usage.

10.4 TOP SOIL MANAGEMENT Top soil from broken-up area has been reclaimed in the external backfilled

area. Top soil from unbroken area will be scraped for progressive and concurrent

utilization during technical reclamation of backfilled area, thus obviating the necessity

of storage of top soil separately.

10.5 CONTROL MEASURES TO RESTORE LAND USE & LANDSCAPE � Solid waste which will be generated due to coal extraction will be

dumped internally. The internal dump will be reclaimed both biological

and technical.

� During the process, the geometrical shape of the dumps will be altered

to make it amenable to effective biological reclamation and also to

provide safety and stability.

� The face slope of external dump is to be maintained at the natural angle

of repose of the material and at overall slope angle of 28o.

� The face slope of internal dump also will be maintained at the natural

angle of repose of the material and at overall slope angle of 28o.



� Backfilled area will be reclaimed both bio-logically and technically.




� Arboriculture is and will be carried out in the vacant areas.

� Proper afforestation / plantation is to be carried out for greenbelt

development.

CMPDI


10.6 CONTROL MEASURES FOR TRAFFIC MOVEMENT The following control measures are adopted and shall be continued :

� Frequent water sprinkling on haul roads and coal transportation roads.




10.7 BIOTA CONSERVATION PLAN

� Mine lease area of Lingaraj OC Expn. Project (16.0 Mty) is 1410.01 ha and

buffer zone area is 44376 ha total is 45786.01ha.

� Buffer zone has forest land 3858.0 ha (Dense and open forest).

� Tropical dry deciduous forest is found in both core and buffer zones with

Shorea robusta (Sal) as dominant species. The associates of Sal are

found to be Azadirachta indica (Neem), Madhuca indica (Mahula),

Borassus flabellifer (Palm), etc.

� FLORA CONSERVATION PLAN

� Biological reclamation will be done with endemic species of different

varieties. Similar measures have been taken in other projects of the

area.

� Arboriculture for greenbelt development will be done in this project.

Greenbelt development has also been carried out for other

neighbouring projects of Talcher Coalfield.

� Compensatory afforestation for this project will be carried out. In other

projects of Talcher Coalfield, similar measures have also been taken.

� Avenue plantation will be done for each project in the area.

The above measures will help conserve the flora of the area.

CMPDI


� FAUNA CONSERVATION PLAN

The report reveals the presence of following wild animals in core and buffer

zones under different Schedules of the Wild life (Protection) Act 1972. All

such animals are found in other parts of the State. The area does not have

any endangered species. However, for conservation following species

present under different Schedules, broad management strategies have been

suggested.

All such animals were found to be present both in core and buffer zones. Any

disturbance in core zone due to mining will force these animals to migrate to

the buffer zone. However, to protect all such animals in the buffer zone the

following broad conservation strategies should be adopted.

CMPDI


a) Protection of existing forest patch of buffer zone and more afforestation

of locally available species in buffer zone to create suitable habitat.

b) Plantation of edible fruit bearing trees in buffer zone which will attract

squirrels, bats and rodents.

c) In buffer zone existing water sources including natural water holes

should be renovated to ensure 365 days year water availability for the

animals.

d) Fire protection and prevention measures should be undertaken,

particularly during summer

e) After the completion of mining in the core zone the species which were

available originally and native to the site should be extensively planted

to restore the original habitat.

As survey and interrogation from local public, it was ascertained that the area

does not belong to the migratory corridor of any endangered wild lives.

However, there is very rare and occasional migration of wild animals like

Bear from the distant forest during incidents of forest fire etc. There is no

such specific migratory route, which can delineate in the map. The study area

does not have any specific, typical and endangered plant species.

� CONSERVATION PLAN

The following conservation measures are adopted and will be

continued:

(i) Due to biological reclamation and greenbelt development for this

project and other projects in the area, habitats will be created for

fauna.

(ii) As ultimate voids of the quarry will be developed as water

reservoir and the area is having a number of large ponds, the

ground and avi-fauna will get water for drinking.

(iii) As technically reclaimed areas will be revegetated with endemic

species, the avi-fauna and ground fauna will get food and

shelters.

11.2 JUSTIFICATION FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT

There is shortage in availability of coal to the tune of 18.24 Mt for Talcher

coalfield. Apart from this demand of coal is likely to rise further since more numbers

of TPS may be linked to this coalfield.

(Fig. in Mt.)

Demand Availability Gap Talcher coalfield 107.06 90.97 16.09


Total : 158.34 138.40 19.94

The production from the proposed Lingaraj OCP Expansion (Phase-III) (16.0

Mty) (3.0 Mty incremental) will go towards meeting the gap between demand and

CMPDI


availability. Therefore there will not be any problem in marketing coal from the

proposed expansion project. Coal produced from Lingaraj OCP Expansion

(Phase-III) (13.0 Mty) (3.0 Mty incremental) has been proposed to be linked to

Kaniah STPS/basket linkage.

11.3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

11.3.1 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

Project Report of Lingaraj OCP was initially planned and approved in

February 1991 with target capacity of 5.0 Mty for a capital outlay of Rs.229.84 crore

for Departmental Variant. Coal from Lingaraj OCP was linked to Kaniah STPS as per

approved PR. Coal was proposed to be dispatched to the above STPS through the

merry-go-round (MGR) system.

Project Report for Lingaraj OCP Expansion (10.0 Mty) (5.0 Mty incremental)

was sanctioned in February 2003 by CIL Board for an additional capital of Rs.98.89

crores for coal outsourcing and OB departmental variant.

The existing Lingaraj OCP Expansion (Phase-II) 13.0 Mty (3.0 Mty

incremental) for an additional capital of Rs.2.18 crores was approved in June 2006 by

MCL Board for Coal and OB both outsourcing variant.

The proposed Lingaraj OCP Expansion (Phase-III) (16.0 Mty / 20.0 Mty

Peak) (3.0 Mty / 7.0 Mty incremental) is based on Revised geological report on

exploration of Lingaraj block June 2000. An area of about 28 ha only has been

proposed to be annexed in the southern side of the sanctioned mine boundary (i.e.

within safety zone of Lingaraj OC Expn. (13.0 Mty).

The project report of Lingaraj OC Expn. (16.0 Mty / 20.0 Mty Peak) has been

approved by MCL Board in its 116th meeting on 6/2/2010 at Kolkata.

11.3.3 PROJECT PROFILE

(a) Type of the Project

It is a running opencast project.

(b) Justifcation for Expansion of the Project

The overall demand of coal on MCL, based on coal linkage SLC (LT) by the end of XI

plan has been assessed to be 158.34 Mt against availability of 138.40 Mt. Thus there

is a gap of 19.94 Mt of coal.

(Fig. in Mt.)

Demand Availability Gap

Talcher coalfield 107.06 90.97 16.09


Total : 158.34 138.40 19.94

There is possibility of recommending more additional linkages over and

above the already recommended linkages. The production from the proposed

Lingaraj OC Expn. Project will go towards meeting the gap between demand and

availability. Demand of coal from this coalfield is likely to rise further since more

number of TPS may be linked to this coalfield.

Ministry of coal dt.1st July 2011.

2. The project report of Lingaraj OC Expn. (16.0 Mty / 20.0 Mty

Peak) has been approved by MCL Board in its 116th meeting on

6/2/2010 at Kolkata.

3. Forest clearance has been obtained for 186.311 ha of forest land

for the existing project (Lingaraj OC Expn. 13.0 Mty). No additional

forest land is required for expansion project.

4. The rehabilitation of the existing project will be completed by2014-

2015.

5. No Additional families will be affected due to expansion project i.e.

for 7.0 Mty incremental (Peak 20.0 Mty).

� Mining technology

Considering the geo-mining conditions, shovel-dumper system of mining

has been envisaged. However, blastless mining (e.g. contractual surface

miners), where dust generation is minimal and negligible will be adopted

in this project.

Existing shovel dumper mining is envisaged to continue for expansion

project as the area is affected with multiple faults (33 nos.)

� Coal wining, OB removal and transportation

For coal winning and transportation, shovel-dumper system and

blast free mining (e.g. contractual (4 no.) surface miners) are used.

For OB removal and transportation, shovel-dumper system is

deployed.

Existing shovel dumper system will be followed for the expansion

project. Incremental coal production by blast free method using

additional surface miner (2 No.).

Existing shovel dumper system will be continued. It is envisaged to

deploy 100 T and 50 T rear dumpers towards additional requirement

CMPDI


to reduce fleet size. Both 50 T and 100 T dumpers are deployed in

conjunction with 4.3 hydraulic backhoe. While 9.5 cum. Hydraulic

shovel dumper would work with 100 T near dumper.

� Targeted output

The project will have a production of 20.0 Mty (Peak). � Life of the mine

The life of the mine has been estimated to be 21 years.

� Calendar programme

As per the calendar plan, the targeted capacity will be achieved in the

2nd year of project life.

� Volume of OB removal

The total volume of OB to be removed for this expansion project is

222.23 Mm3(As on 1.4.2010).

An additional 265 manpower will be required for incremental OB

departmental and coal out sourcing variant.

� Pumping & drainage

In the expansion the area and the maximum depth of the mine are

almost same as that of approved earlier. Hence, no additional provision

for pumps, pipes and fittings etc.

� Power supply

Presently power supply is being received from 132/33 kV substation of

MCL at Nandira. Double circuit overhead line has been proposed

under master plan. The same double circuit overhead line at 33 kV from

132/33 kV sub-station shall considered.

Coal Handling & Dispatch Arrangement

� In the existing system ROM coal brought by dumpers / tipping truck and is

unloaded to feeder breaker circuit for crushing to -200 mm crushed coal is

elevated and stored in 2 x 100 t hoppers located near the discharge end of

conveyors.

� Coal thus stored is loaded into tipping trucks for onward transportation

either to the wharf wall siding of NTPC bulb or to Deulbera & Jagannath 5-

6 sidings. Coal stored near wharf wall siding is loaded into wagons by pay

loaders.

� In the proposed system there will be crushing complex, secondary crusher.

Belt conveyor system, storage, tramp metal detectors and magnetic

separators, rapid loading system, weight-ment and sampling.

� ROM coal brought by tipping trucks / dumpers shall be crushed to (-)200

mm size in the existing feeder breaker circuits. The existing conveyors

collecting coal from respective feeder breakers, presently feeding coal into

CMPDI


the 2x100t storage hopper shall be extended and crushed coal will be fed

on to two Nos. of belt conveyors from existing feeder breaker circuits.

� Coal collected from these shall directly be fed to secondary crusher.

� Coal shall be collected by the conveyor underneath the secondary

crushers. The coal shall then be transported through a series of belt

conveyors and tripper conveyor to the main storage bunker. The tripper

conveyor shall distribute coal evenly in the semi ground bunker of 15000t

capacity. However the surface miner coal shall be transported by trucks

directly to the storage bunker and discharged into the bunker.

� Coal shall be reclaimed from underneath the main bunker by plough

feeders and fed on to reclaim conveyors which in turn will discharge the

coal into a Silo (2 Nos.) of 4000 t capacity each. Coal shall be loaded into

the wagons of NTPC rake by swing chutes to facilitate volumetric /

preweigh hopper loading. Wagons are weighed by electronic in-motion rail

weigh-bridges for record and billing purposes. The coal samples collected

by cutter type samplers at pre-determined intervals shall be sent to

laboratory for analysis.

� Surface miner coal shall be transported by trucks directly to storage bunker

and discharged into bunkers.

� Observations Ground Water (Tubewell water and Dugwell water)

The analysis shows that various physical and chemical parameters are within

the permissible limits of Drinking Water Standards (IS:10,500-1991) except fluoride in

Hensmul Village tube water i.e 1.2 mg/l which is just marginally crossing the

permissible limit which may be due to geo-genic of the rock formation; turbidity in dug

well water at kandhal village is 45 NTU due to mining interference and is temporary

phenomenon.

Surface Water (Pond water)

Samples, WS1, WS2 and WS3 were collected from pond waters of Hensamul and

Talabera villages respectively. The analysis show that various parameters are within

the limits of IS : 2296-1982 (Surface water, Class "C" : Tolerance limits for surface

waters used for drinking water source with conventional treatment followed by

disinfection).

(C) HYDROGEOLOGY

1. Detailed hydrological studies reveal that Singhara jhara proto-basin and

Bangaru jhara sub-basin are of 5th order streams draining into the Brahmani

river. The drainage density of Singhara jhara and Bangaru jhara basins are

1.75 and 1.52 km/sq.km and their stream frequencies are 2.09 and 1.83 per

sq.km respectively. Both the basins are morphometrically similar.

2. The annual total run-off in Singhara jhara is 332.45, 237.97 and 545.19 mm of

which the base flow accounts to 164.80, 90.91 and 167.25 mm in 1983, 1984

and 1985 respectively.

CMPDI


3. Ground water in the area occurs under both unconfined and confined

conditions. The weathered mantle, recent alluvium and laterites act as

unconfined aquifer or phreatic aquifer.

4. For the purpose of understanding impact of mining activity on groundwater in

the vicinity, a dug well from Deulbera village (core zone) has been selected for

year on year fluctuation study. Based on the data, it can be inferred that over

the years ground water levels in Deulbera village (core zone) have minutely

decreased and thus mining activity has little influence on the groundwater.

However as observed from ground water levels in dugwell in village Natedi

(buffer zone) show increasing trends in groundwater level.

5. NOISE LEVEL MEASUREMENT

� Noise level measurement during monitoring

The ambient noise level measurement for the project has been carried

out during March to May 2013. The range of noise levels at different

spots as observed during monitoring, is given below :

Noise level measurements from various stations as mentioned above,

are within the limits of the prescribed standards for both day-time and

night-time.

(D) LAND USE/COVER PATTERN

Land use/cover pattern of the buffer zone of the project based on

satellite data interpretation, indicates dense forest of 6.36%, open forest

of 2.34%, plantation (including over OB dumps) of 1.47% and

(B) IMPACT ASSESSMENT ON HYDROLOGY AND HYDRO-GEOLOGY

(i) Impacts

Mining and its related activities create water quality problems. These

problems are identified and the likely sources of water pollution from

this project along with the type of pollutants are follows:

(a) Sanitary (domestic) estimated quantity … 2.28 Mld.

(b) Industrial wastewater from workshop -- Suspended solids, oil & grease.

(c) Waste water from mine -- Suspended solids of coal, clay and oil.

(d) Surface run-off passing through coal stockpiles -- Suspended solids

(e) Storm water from leasehold area and built-up area -- Suspended solids.

CMPDI


(ii) Control measures

� Sufficient safeguards during the planning stage to make the project eco-

friendly from water pollution control point of view.

� Recycling of wastewater after appropriate treatment to achieve "zero

discharge" to the extent possible at some sources.

� Conforming to the limits of the Environment (Protection) Amendment

Rules, 2000 (•Schedules-VIŽ, General Standards for discharge of

environmental pollutants, Part-A : Effluents) for quality of the treated

effluent.

(C) IMPACT OF NOISE QUALITY AND CONTROL MEASURES

(i) Impact on Noise Quality

Ambient noise level of the existing project is being monitored regularly.

Noise levels are within the limits of the prescribed standard except

Talcher Town. So the noise produced from this project will not have

auditory, non-auditory, masking effects, etc. as suitable mitigatory

measures are taken and will be taken.

(ii) Control Measures

The following measures are being taken and will be taken :

� Proper designing of plant & machinery by providing in-built

mechanisms like silencers, mufflers and enclosures for noise

generating parts and shock absorbing pads at the foundation of

vibrating equipment.

� Routine maintenance of equipment.

� Enclosures for crusher house, etc.

� Rational deployment of noise generating plant and machinery.

� Greenbelts around the quarry, infrastructure sites, service building

area and township besides avenue plantation on both sides of the

roads to maintain noise level at night time within the limit for the

inhabited localities situated at a very close proximity.

CMPDI


� Locating township away from noise centre.

� HEMMs with sound proof cabins.

� Chute linings in CHP.

� Personal protective devices to all the persons working in high

noise areas.

� Coal production by deploying the eco-friendly surface miners,

which eliminates the noisy operations like drilling, blasting,

crushing etc.

� Regular monitoring of noise levels at various points.

(D) IMPACT OF BLASTING VIBRATION & CONTROL MEASURES

(ii) Impact on Blasting

Blasting may affect the mineworkers as well as people residing in the vicinity

of mine and dependent upon the type & quantity of explosives used pit

geology, topography and confinement of the blast.


� Proper conformation to measures for safe blasting to avoid

damage to any structure or annoyance to the people in the colony

area or neighbouring villages.

� Proper design factor will be taken while constructing various

structures for stability against vibration.

� A blasting danger zone will be kept around the periphery of the

quarry. This zone will be kept free from village habitation and

community infrastructure and thus impact of vibration after blasting

on the surface structures is avoided.

� Controlled blasting will be done near built-up areas and surface

features, as and when required with permission of DGMS.

� Adoption of present day technology of use of site mixed slurry

(SMS) explosives.

CMPDI


(E) IMPACT ON LAND RESOURCE & CONTROL MEASURES

(i) Impact on Land Resource

The impact of opencast coal mine on land is the change in land use pattern.

The alteration in land use pattern due to infrastructure is not to be

considered as true change as these facilities can be utilized for some other

purposes after the mining operation is over. The alteration in land use

pattern due to activities of quarrying and external dumping of OB materials

may be considered as true change in land use pattern.


� Solid waste generated due to coal extraction will be backfilled.

Internal dump should be biological and technical reclaimed.

� During the process, the geometrical shape of the dumps is altered

to make it amenable to effective biological reclamation and also to

provide safety and stability.

� Suitable drainage arrangement for smooth disposal of storm

water.


� Topsoil shall be progressively and concurrently utilized during

physical/ technical reclamation of backfilled area, thus obviating

the necessity of storage of topsoil separately.


� Proper afforestation / plantation is to be carried out for greenbelt

development.

(F) IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF THE AREA (i) SOCIAL IMPACT

� POPULATION GROWTH

Skilled manpower required for the project may not be available in the area.

Only semi-skilled and unskilled workers will be available from the local

population. So people will migrate to this segment both from within and

outside the district as well as the state due to creation of new employment

opportunities.

� EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES

A number of educational institutes are already there in the buffer zone and its

neighbourhood. The facilities already provided in the neighbouring projects

will cater to the need of this project. So migration of population will not strain

the local educational facilities already available. Further, the educational

institutes owned by MCL are also accessible to local population.

� HEALTHCARE FACILITIES

The coal company has a number of healthcare centres including a well

equipped Regional Hospital and a specialised “referral” hospital in the

CMPDI


coalfield area. Provision of healthcare facilities have been provided in the

project report. Healthcare facilities have been provided in the neighbouring

projects. The above facilities will cater to the need of employees of this

project. The local people can also avail these healthcare facilities.

� ECONOMIC IMPACT

� Loss of agricultural land � General improvement of economy of the area � Increase in revenue of the state exchequer

� IMPACT ON VILLAGE HABITATION

The project area (including the expansion project) comprising of excavation

zone, infrastructure sites, ext. OB dump area and safety zone for blasting

covers partly and/or fully 7 (seven) inhabited villages namely, Balugaon,

Balugaon-Khamar, Langijoda, Ambamunda, Nakulbaspur, Hensamul and

Madanmohanpur besides some uninhabited villages. These families will be

resettled and rehabilitated socially, culturally and economically along with

other displaced such as major married sons, unmarried daughters of 30

years of age, etc., as per latest Norms of Govt. of Orissa, May 2006. Details

(ii) Socio Economic Control Measures

� Project affected families will be resettled and rehabilitated socially,

culturally and economically along with other displaced families such as

major married sons, unmarried daughters of 30 years of age,

divorcee/deserted women/widows, physically handicapped and / or

mentally retarded persons irrespective of age and sex, unmarried

brothers/sisters whose parents are not alive, homestead less families

(unobjectionable encroachers) and landless families (unobjectionable

encroachers) as per latest ‘Norms of Govt. of Orissa’ .

� Resettlement colony will be provided with all infrastructure facilities like

roads, dug wells, tube wells, play ground, schools, community center,

dispensary, shopping center, etc.

� Suitable compensation will be offered to the families from whom land

including homestead land will be acquired. In all circumstances

compensation will be paid before actual displacement. All the

payments will be made by account payee cheques.

� Cash grant in lieu of job may be given.

� Vocational training will be provided.

� Interest free financial assistance will be provided where necessary.

� Monetary benefits to physical handicapped and mentally retarded

persons for self-relocation of site elsewhere will be provided.

� Incentive to displaced families for timely vacation of land will be

provided.

� Peripheral developmental activities like education, roads, bridge, water

supply, health, etc. are will be provided. A lump sum amount (in

Rs.lakhs) will be kept annually for peripheral development activities.

CMPDI


� Supply of drinking water in nearby villages during summer season will

be provided.

(G) IMPACT ON BIO-DIVERSITY AND CONTROL MEASURES

(i) Impact on Flora

� Forest land in the core zone in the expansion project (particularly in the

excavation area) will be diverted for mining. The forest land for

diversion is 186.311 ha.

� The combined impact of operating coal mines and proposed coal

projects may influence the forest land in the buffer zone.

� Due to biotic interference and forest fire, even the reserve forests in the

area are not found to harbor many species of floral population. The

reserve forests are found to be in degraded conditions.

� Both core and buffer zones are found to be free from ecologically

sensitive and biologically rich areas/habitats, such as national parks,

sanctuaries, biosphere reserves and areas rich in genetic resources.

� There are no rare, threatened and endangered plant species in the

buffer zone.

Impact on Fauna

� The population of fauna, especially mammals, is found to be low. So

there will be no adverse impact on the fauna existing in the project

impact area as they will migrate to the nearby forests.

� The area is not the migratory route for any wild animal.

� There are no rare, threatened and endangered faunal species in the

buffer zone except Rana tigrina and Varanus which is also found in the

other parts of the district and state.

CMPDI


(ii) Control Measures to Reduce the Impact on Biodiversity

Control Measures to Reduce the Impact on Flora

� The enhancement of forest area occurs due to measures like

biological reclamation of backfilled area, arboriculture /

afforestation, compensatory afforestation creation of greenbelt and

avenue plantation.

� Water body created by the final voids is beneficial to flora as the

area is prone to water scarcity.

� This project will have no detrimental impact on diversity of floral

species within terrestrial and aquatic habitats.

Control Measures to Reduce Impact on Fauna

� The balance in the regional population will be maintained in

natural course, owing to existing undisturbed forest areas in the

vicinity of the project. The increase in green cover due to

implementation of various measures like biological reclamation of

backfilled area, arboriculture / afforestation adopted by the mine

establishment will be an added bonus, though expected in distant

future.

� The mine is a •zero-dischargeŽ one. If required, water is

discharged only after suitable treatment. No adverse impact on

downstream aquatic life of surface water courses is expected.

� The project is not likely to have impact on the faunal species

diversity within the terrestrial and aquatic habitats.

(H) EFFECTS OF TRAFFIC MOVEMENT AND CONTROL MEASURES

(i) Effects on Traffic Movement

Coal transportation will take place from CHP to rapid loading system

(RLS) through CCT. Both coal transportation road and the siding are

located within the mine lease area. Therefore, effect of traffic

movement within the mining lease area is negligible on residential area.

CMPDI


� Ambient air on the both sides of the road will be affected due to

RPM, SPM, SO2 and NOX.

� Noise nuisance due to movement of HEMMs.

� Creation of ruts and potholes on the surface of the road.

� Road accidents.


The following control measures are adopted and shall be continued :




(L) IMPACT ON LAND USE AND LANDSCAPE

� IMPACT ON LAND USE PATTERN

The major direct impacts on existing land use during the pre-mining phase

area the removal of vegetation and resettlement of displaced population. There may

also be landuse changes with respect to agriculture, fisheries, recreation sites,

housing, forestry areas, etc. Land reclamation / restoration of mined out lands may

give rise to enhanced beneficial land use. There will be change in land use for the

expansion project.

There exists major environment impacts due to landscape disruption

particularly visuals (unsightly huge dumps, voids, mine structures, subsidence, mine

fires, etc.). During mining and post-mining phases drastic changes in landscape with

landforms take place. The major associated impacts are soil-erosion, loss of top soil,

change in complete geology, creation of huge dumps & voids, disposal of wastes,

deforestation, etc.

Irrespective of the type of mining used for extracting coal, mining invariably

results in enormous land disturbance … e.g. large scale excavation, removal of top

soil, dumping of solid wastes, cutting of roads, creation of derelict land, etc. Opencast

mining has more potential impact on land than underground mining. With improved

CMPDI


technology, opencast coal mining is being used extensively because of its cost

effectiveness and productivity; though it results in large-scale land disturbance. The

alteration in land use pattern due to infrastructure is not to be considered as true

change as these facilities can be utilized for some other purposes after the mining

operation is over. The alteration in land use pattern due to activities of quarrying and

external dumping of OB materials may be considered as true change in land use

pattern.

� CONTROL MEASURES TO RESTORE LAND USE & LANDSCAPE

� Solid waste generated due to coal extraction will be backfilled. There

will be no externally dumping. The external OB dump has already been

technical reclaimed and biological reclaimed.

� During the process, the geometrical shape of the dumps is altered to

make it amenable to effective biological reclamation and also to provide

safety and stability.

� The face slopes of the dump will be maintained at the natural angle of

repose of the material and at overall slope angle of 28o.



� Backfilled area is to be reclaimed bio-logically and technically.





� Proper afforestation / plantation are to be carried out for greenbelt

development.

11.3.7 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME

For effective implementation of various environmental control measures and

subsequently monitoring the same, permanent environmental management

organisations are essential at corporate, area and project levels. The various

environmental attributes like air quality, water quality, effluent quality, noise level, etc.

will be monitored as per the following schedules:

For air quality Two days in a month at each station (once in a fortnight).

For water and effluent quality

Once in a month for each station (for drinking water quality), once in a fortnight (for 4 parameters) and once in a year (23 parameters) (for effluent quality)

For ground water level monitoring

4 times in a year (i.e., April/May, August, November & January)

(ii) Cost of mine closure

The mine closure cost has been considered @ Rs 7.90 lakh / ha [as per

WPI (Mar, 2013)] for mine lease area. The total mine closure cost is

estimated Rs. 19893.89 lakhs including compound interest. The Money to be

leived per hectare of mining lease is to be deposited every year after

commencement of any activity on the land for the mine after opening an

Escrow Account. The major expenditure on final mine closure plan will be

incurred during last five years. Up to 20 % of the deposited amount from

Escrow Account can be released every year starting from 4th year before

mine closure date. Balance amount will remain as security. The Coal

Controller•s Organization shall release the fund from the Escrow Account

based on the progress made in closure activites for the mine.

(B) BIOTA CONSERVATION PLAN

� Mine lease area of Lingaraj OC Expn. Project (16.0 Mty) is 1410.01 ha and

buffer zone area is 44376 ha total is 45786.01ha.

� Buffer zone has forest land 3858.0 ha (Dense and open forest).

� Tropical dry deciduous forest is found in both core and buffer zones

with Shorea robusta (Sal) as dominant species. The associates of Sal

are found to be Azadirachta indica (Neem), Madhuca indica (Mahula),

Borassus flabellifer (Palm), etc.

� FLORA CONSERVATION PLAN

� Biological reclamation will be done with endemic species of different

varieties. Similar measures have been taken in other projects of the

area.

� Arboriculture for greenbelt development will be done in this project.

Greenbelt development has also been carried out for other

neighbouring projects of Talcher Coalfield.

� Compensatory afforestation for this project will be carried out. In other

projects of Talcher Coalfield, similar measures have also been taken.

CMPDI


� Avenue plantation will be done for each project in the area.

The above measures will help conserve the flora of the area.

� FAUNA CONSERVATION PLAN

The report reveals the presence of following wild animals in core and buffer

zones under different Schedules of the Wild life (Protection) Act 1972. All

such animals are found in other parts of the State. The area does not have

any endangered species. However, for conservation following species

present under different Schedules, broad management strategies have been

suggested.

CMPDI


All such animals were found to be present both in core and buffer zones. Any

disturbance in core zone due to mining will force these animals to migrate to

the buffer zone. However, to protect all such animals in the buffer zone the

following broad conservation strategies should be adopted.

a) Protection of existing forest patch of buffer zone and more afforestation

of locally available species in buffer zone to create suitable habitat.

b) Plantation of edible fruit bearing trees in buffer zone which will attract

squirrels, bats and rodents.

c) In buffer zone existing water sources including natural water holes

should be renovated to ensure 365 days year water availability for the

animals.

d) Fire protection and prevention measures should be undertaken,

particularly during summer

e) After the completion of mining in the core zone the species which were

available originally and native to the site should be extensively planted

to restore the original habitat.

As survey and interrogation from local public, it was ascertained that the area

does not belong to the migratory corridor of any endangered wild lives.

However, there is very rare and occasional migration of wild animals like

Bear from the distant forest during incidents of forest fire etc. There is no

such specific migratory route, which can delineate in the map. The study area

does not have any specific, typical and endangered plant species.

�� CONSERVATION PLAN

The following conservation measures are adopted and will be

continued:

(i) Due to biological reclamation and greenbelt development for this

project and other projects in the area, habitats will be created for

fauna.

(ii) As ultimate voids of the quarry will be developed as water

reservoir and the area is having a number of large ponds, the

ground and avi-fauna will get water for drinking.

CMPDI


(iii) As technically reclaimed areas will be revegetated with endemic

species, the avi-fauna and ground fauna will get food and

shelters.
