EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Government of India, Ministry of Mines has allotted Khapa-Padriwar Block (7.088

Ha.) for mining of Manganese to M/s Modern Minerals Industries, Nagpur. It is proposed

to establish an opencast mine for the production of Manganese with capacity 50000 TPA.

The surrounding areas are mildly undulating with dolomite working mines. The Khapa

Padriwar area show the contour from 370 m to 334 m i.e., a high hill relief of 35-36 m i.e.

the highest contour is 370 m & lowest contour is 334 m. The hill is running in E & W

direction.

M/s Modern Minerals Industries the project proponent is an ownership firm having

registered office in Nagpur District.

The area identified 7.088 Ha. of the lease to the proponent near village Khapa-Padriwar,

Tahsil Sausar, District Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh.

The proposed area is protected forest land and an application for the diversion of the

forest land has been submitted to the Forest Department. The interstate boundary

between Maharashtra - Madhya Pradesh is adjoining from the proposed Mine Area. The

project is therefore categorized as Category “A” project as per EIA Notification 2006.

The proponent envisages developing mining activities based on the available reserves of

ore in Central India. The proponent is committed to operate systematic and scientific

mining operations making optimum utilization of the resources. The mining activities

shall be carried out as per the mandatory laws and regulation prevailing.

The total Mining Lease Area proposed is 7.088 Ha located in forest land Khasra No. 40 &

Forest Compartment No. 1588 of Forest division Chhindwara Kanhan Range in Taluka

Sausar, Dist-Chhindwara M.P. It is proposed to extract manganese with the annual

production capacity of 50,000 tonnes/annum.

The proposed method of mining is Opencast Semi-Mechanized mine with drilling and

blasting. Drilling shall be carried out by compressed air operated jack hammer and

blasting shall be done. There will not be any deployment of heavy machines in the area

for mining operation as the mining will be in small scale.

There is no drainage passing from the lease area and thus no diversion of the drainages is

required.

The mine is located at higher elevation and as such the water table is far below the likely

working depth of the mine pits. There is no problem of any ground water to interception

during mining. It will be only rain water accumulated during monsoon. These quantities

of water will be removed by pumping.

The geological reserves established in the proposed Mining Lease Area is 1,34,358 tonnes

and the extractable reserves of manganese are 1,14,000 tonnes.

It is proposed to undertake extensive exploration within the mining lease during the

course of mining. Reserves of economic value are likely to be improved during this

exploration.

Quality of mineral - Mn - 32.90%, Fe -12.20%, SiO2 - 20.61%, P- 0.226%.

It is proposed to utilize overburden and mine waste by back filling/ leveling to help in

haul road construction, restoration and rehabilitation of the terrain without affecting the

drainage and water regimes in the initial phase. However, after this development the

waste material will be stored within the mining lease area..

The dumps will have systematic slope and arrangement for arresting surface runoff like

garland drains, catch drain etc. The water collected during monsoon season from garland

drains will be used for dust suppression & plantation after settlement.

The extracted mineral shall be transported by trucks to the desired destination of the

client.

The idea of the geological formations can be had from old Pits in the area. It is being

covered with the mica schists (weathered form) the Gondite rock exposed on top of hill.

Sub-tropical climatic condition prevails in the area. Maximum temperature recorded

during summer is 480C and the minimum temperature recorded during winter is 120C.

The region receives a average rainfall of around 1139 mm with an annual variation of

100 mm although wider variation have also been noticed in the past. About 80% - 85%

of rainfall precipitates from June to September.

The study area consisting of 7.088 Ha mining lease as core zone and 10 Km radius

around core zone is identified as buffer zone. The entire study area is covered under

two districts Chhindwara & Nagpur of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra state

respectively.

There is no proposal for benefication ore except dressing of the ROM by manual means

to separate the ore from siliceous material. During this dressing 80% of recovery of

saleable ore is envisaged. The balance 20% rejects / subgrade will be stored at reject

storage yard within mining lease area

The small scale mining operations will not have any major effect on the socio-economics

of the area. It will provide employment to the local people and will help in uplifting their

living standards.

The method of mining is semi-mechanized nature. There will not be any deployment of

heavy machines in the area for carrying out mining operation which will create noise

pollution, air pollution or any other operational hazards due to presence of machines.

Precaution is required to be observed during drilling with jack hammers against dust or

during blasting to be in the safe distance. Apart from these no other factor are envisage

during future mining operation.

The Environment Impact Assessment and Environment Management Plan for the

proposed project shall be prepared as per the guidelines provided in the EIA

Notification 2006.

The power requirement will be met from MPSEB grid. The water requirement of the

project required for dust suppression, plantation and drinking to the tune of 15 m3/day

shall be met from the ground water. Necessary permission for the same shall be

obtained from competent authority.

There is no National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary, archeological site, historical places

located within 10 Km from the proposed mine.

The total project cost for the Khapa-Padriwar Manganese Mining Project has been

estimated at Rs. 4.0 crores.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

1.1 For Water Environment

There is no water regime near to this mine. The water regime is Kanhan River which is

far away to have any impact. Surface water is in the form of seasonal rain fall. It takes

normal course and flows out of the area along natural slope. No impact on surface or

ground water is expected as no chemical processing is involved.

1.2 For Air Environment

The proposed mining operations are mechanized and shall be done through deployment

of mining machineries. The dust from the haul roads and drilling is expected to pollute

the air to some extent. However, considering the production and nature of proposed

mining operations particulate matter level will not be more than the permissible limit.

However, on the haulage road water will be sprinkled to minimize the raising of dust in

the area.

Further, for minimizing dust generation during drilling & blasting and loading following

measures are proposed:

Wet drilling of blast holes

The drillers will be given protective appliances to be used during drilling

operations.

1.3 For Noise Environment :

Noise Level is likely to increase due to movement of machineries, drilling, etc. The

measures will be taken to maintain the noise levels within limits. Periodical

maintenance of equipment will be carried out. Moreover, the building of green belt that

would be continued along lease boundary, dumping yards, haulage roads will help in

restricting noise level. Noise due to blasting is controlled by using NONEL.

1.4 For reducing ground vibrations :

Ground vibrations caused by blasting will be monitored in order to know their degree

and to build safe guards. The ground vibrations would be mainly at the point of blasting

and further away the vibrations will decrease and becomes imperceptible.

To reduce the ground vibrations multi-row blasting will be adopted and charge per

delay to be kept within limit. Blasting shall be carried out by using NONEL

detonators, which controls air blast and ground vibration effectively.


B

lasting will be done preferably in the afternoon. This will minimize vibration due

to blasting and check noise pollution. Ground Vibration monitoring will be done

regularly.

1.5 Stabilization of Overburden Dumps :

The stabilizations of dumps will be undertaken by means of terracing of dumps

wherever necessary.

The dumps will be pitched from the slope side to a suitable height. Further,

suitable vegetation / grass shall be planted on the dumps for making it

biologically stable.

1.6 For Socio -Economic Environment

The proposed mining activity is expected to have a positive impact on the socio-

economic profile of the area. The local people shall get opportunities of

employment in the unskilled semi skilled category. The overall standard of living

in the area is expected to improve due to coming Khapa padriwar Manganese

Mining Project.
