2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Background: There is a need to enhance power generation in the country from the present level of 148,000 MW to 380,000 MW by the year 2030 to achieve an economic growth rate of 8% to 9%. The major share of growth in power generation is through thermal i.e., coal based. Hence country’s coal requirement will have to be enhanced to 1300 MT. To compensate the decrease in production from the closing mines and to meet the demand of coal in this region, the project proponent, Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), a Government Company is planning to open new mines in the new blocks. In this context, Kalyani Khani 6 Incline mine is proposed in Mandamarri Area of SCCL. Kalyani Khani - 6 Incline mine is covered in Mandamarri Shaft Block of Somagudem-Indaram Coal Belt. Mandamarri Shaft Block consists of 5 sectors namely Sector A, B, C, D & E. The present proposal is carved out of Sector D&E of Mandamarri Shaft Block (MMSB). This is an underground Coal mining project proposed for mechanized method of Bord and Pillar mining with Continuous Miner technology The rated capacity of the project is arrived at by taking average output over the life of the mine, which is around 8.00 LTPA (Peak capacity of 12.30 LTPA). The total life of the project is 19 years including the period of accessing the coal deposit.

I. Identification of the project and project proponent. The Kalyani Khani - 6 Incline is a new Underground Coal mining project and carved out of Mandamarri Shaft Block in Mandamarri Revenue Village of Mancherial district of Telangana in Godavari Valley Coal Field.

II. Brief description of nature of the project and present proposal As per EIA Notification, 2006 vide number S.O 1533(E) dated 14.09.2006 and its subsequent amendments issued under Environment (Protection) Act,1986,prior Environment Clearance (EC) is to be obtained from MOEF & CC by making an application in Form-I along with Pre Feasibility Report. In this context to obtain fresh Environmental clearance, this pre-feasibility report is prepared as per the guidelines issued by MoEF&CC vide no J- 11013/41/2006-IA.II(I) dated 30.12.2010 and the brief description of nature of the project is given below

The Kalyani Khani - 6 Incline mine is new underground coal mine belonging to the Singareni Collieries Company Ltd; a major coal producing company in South India. The project is aimed at extracting coal from underground through an inclined tunnel by adopting mechanized method of Bord and Pillar mining with Continuous Miner technology. The total geological reserves estimated in the Kalyani Khani-6 Incline mine are 59.196 MT in four seams up to a depth of 600m. The present proposal is to extract No.1A and No.1 seam deploying continuous miner technology. No. III seam, IVT seam and IVB seams are considered as Non-Workable seams as the thickness of these seams are too low. The geological reserves and extractable reserves of the two workable seams are 41.36 MT and 15.65 MT respectively. It is proposed to extract coal with Continuous Miner Technology. The rated capacity of the project is arrived at by taking average output over the life of the mine, which is around 8.00 LTPA (Peak capacity of 12.30 LTPA). The total life of the project is 19 years including the period of accessing the coal deposit.

The Boundaries of the Mine are as follows: North : Sector -C block of MMSB South : 700 m up throw fault



East : KK-5 Incline Mine West (Dip side) : Sravanapalli block at a distance of 2.0 Km

III. Need for the project and its importance to the region and country Coal is the most important and abundant fossil fuel in India. It accounts for 56.42% (Source: Ministry of Power, GoI) of the country's energy need. The country's industrial heritage was built upon indigenous coal. The per capita energy consumption in India rose from 30.1 KWH during 1st Five Year Plan (1951-56) to 813.33 KWH during the 2010-11 and estimated to 1000 kWh during the terminal year of 11th Five Year Plan (2011-12). Considering the limited reserve potentiality of petroleum & natural gas, eco-conservation restriction on Hydel project and geo-political perception of nuclear power, coal will continue to occupy centre-stage of India’s energy scenario. The generation capacity of Coal and Lignite based Thermal Power Plants in India raised from 1004 MW during the year 1950 to 93918 MW during the year 2011 (Source: Ministry of Power, GoI). The coal reserves of India up to a depth of 1200 m have been estimated by the Geological Survey of India at 285.67 billion tones as on 1.4.2011 (Source: MoC, GoI). Coal production is insufficient to cope up with growing demand for electricity and industrial energy. During the terminal year of 11th Five year Plan i.e. 2011-12, the actual domestic coal production was only 539.79 MT against the demand of 696.03 MT and the gap of 156.24 MT was imported from the Australia, Indonesia, South Africa and other countries. As per the working group of Ministry of Coal, Government of India, a supply gap of about 265.50 million tones is forecasted by the terminal year of 12th Five Year Plan i.e. 2016-17. Even the increase in production is considered in optimistic scenario the gap of 185.50 MT will still be left by TY of 12th FY Plan (Source: Working Group of Ministry of Coal, GoI).

Demand - Supply Gap: The below table reveals that total availability of coal from the existing projects, projects under implementation and approved projects is inadequate to meet the total demand and a substantial gap remains unfulfilled. Hence, opening of new mines in the adjoining / superjacent areas / seams for higher production is justified to mitigate the demand - supply gap.

(Units in Million Tonnes) Sl.No Year 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19

1 Demand 71.59 77.55 93.05

2 Production 66.06 68.40 72.00

3 Gap -5.53 -9.15 -21.05

The Singareni Collieries Company Limited is only coal producing company catering the needs of energy requirements in South India. A supply gap of 16.50 million tones is projected by the terminal year of 12th Five Year Plan, i.e. 2016-17 (Working Group of MoC). Hence, SCCL is taking following steps to increase the coal production:



Reconstruction of existing mines for optimizing production with the introduction of intermediate and high technology.

Opening of new mines in the adjoining / superjacent areas / seams for higher production.

Adopting opencast working wherever possible for high rate of production. Reconstruction of shallow underground workings for extraction of remnant

coal reserves by opencast method.

In this context, Kalyani Khani 6 Incline mine with mine take area of 421.61 Ha is proposed in Mandamarri Area of SCCL. Kalyani Khani - 6 Incline mine is covered in Mandamarri Shaft Block of Somagudem-Indaram Coal Belt. The rated capacity of the project is arrived at by taking average output over the life of the mine, which is around 8.00 LTPA (Peak capacity of 12.30 LTPA) with Continuous Miner technology. The total life of the project is 19 years including the period of accessing the coal deposit. Opening of this new mine is justified to mitigate the demand - supply gap of country.

IV. Imports vs Indigenous production

Certain quantity of coal is being imported to mitigate demand-supply gap in the country. In order to reduce the imports, the various possibilities have been explored to enhance the production indigenously and as a part of capacity enhancing, the present proposal has been made.

V. Export Possibility:

There is no possibility of export of coal from this mine as the project may be linked to power plants of TSGENCO, NTPC, STPP (Singareni Thermal Power Plant) and also there is sufficient demand for industries located in Telangana and elsewhere in India.

VI. Domestic / export markets

The coal produced from this project will be fed to the major domestic customers namely Power sector, Cement industries, fertilizers, brick industries etc.

VII. Employment generation(Direct and Indirect) due to the project:

The present proposal is to produce coal from this new underground coal project .The manpower required to operate this mine would be arranged from the closing of mines and excess manpower from other mines. However, indirect employment opportunities due to coal transportation, material supply, out sourcing operations will be increased to local people.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: i. Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any.

This project is independent and is neither interlinked nor interdependent on any other project.

iii. Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into

The location of the coal seams beneath the ground becomes the basis of selecting the site of the mines, hence no alternate sites are considered, thus there is no scope of selecting alternate sites.



iv. Size or magnitude of operation

The project is categorized as “A” as per the provisions of EIA Notification, 2006 SO 1533 dated 14th September 2006 and its subsequent amendments. The Kalyani Khani - 6 Incline is new underground coal mine with a mine take area of 421.61 Ha. The proposed coal production from this project will be 0.8 MTPA normative and 1.23 MTPA peak The main mode of entries is by pair of inclines. One incline serves as man way incline and other as haulage incline and serves as main intake airways.

v. Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given)

The project is a coal producing unit referred to as a Coal mine. The coal produced in underground is brought to the surface and dispatched to the linked / identified customers.

The present proposal is for new underground project and the development activities and the method of work of new underground coal mine comprises of -

Construction of infrastructure like office buildings, pit store shed etc. Clearing of the land Making approaches to the coal seams Mine development by Continuous Miners and Shuttle Cars Face supporting Transportation of coal by series of belts to surface Transportation of coal from pre-weigh bins to customers. Underground water is pumped out by installing pumps in stages. All the mining operations are carried out under the statutory Supervision of

Mining / Mechanical / Electrical supervisors as per the Mines Act, 1952.

A schematic diagram / flow chart showing the project components is given below.



vi. Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final product, mode of transport of raw material and finished product

The prime function of the coal mining industry is to extract the coal, which is found naturally beneath the earth surface. The coal so extracted is sold as it is or some times after crushing, screening, and washing to the consumers. No raw material is being consumed in coal extraction.

Marketing area of final product:

The washery is being planned with throughput coal of combined grade of No.1A and No.1 seams which vary from G13 to G14 (including stone cut by CM and clay layers of coal seams) and to have an output of G9 with GCV of 4750 K.Cal/Kg. The washed coal will be supplied to Power Plants, Cements, Papers etc. and other industries as per the approved linkage.

Mode of Transportation of Finished Product (Coal):

Mandamarri area is one of the well developed areas of Singareni Collieries Company Ltd. Average G13 grade of coal will be produced from this mine and the coal produced from the mine will be fed to the Coal washery which is located near RK-1A mine at a distance of about 4.3 Km by trucks. After washing, it will either be transported to Ramakrishnapur CHP (RKPCHP) which is at distance of 2.7 Km from coal washery or will be delivered to the private customers from washery dispatch



point. The washed coal will be supplied to the various other consumers like Powerhouses (TSGENCO, NTPC, STPP), Cement, Textiles, Paper, Railways, and other industries as per the approved linkage.

Resource optimization / recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined.

Resources like explosives, hydraulic oils, machinery, land, power and water are fully optimized to minimize unnecessary losses during the process of extraction of coal and supply of coal to the customers.

As the coal mining process does not involve any chemical process, the excess pumping of water will be useful for domestic purpose, drinking and irrigation to nearby fields. The effluents from workshop and township will be treated in ETPs and STPs respectively and waste water will be utilized for watering plantations, parks, lawns, gardens and for spraying arrangement for dust control, etc.

Excess water let out from the mine will be treated in settling tanks / slow sand filters before discharged and used for agriculture purpose. The surplus water is being let out for irrigation of surrounding fields.

vii. Availability of water, its source, Energy / Power requirement and source

Water:

The water required for the project will be met from the water pumped out from the mine workings. In the process of mining, water will be accumulated in the dip most places of the mine due to natural seepage. The water so accumulated will be collected in sumps at different places in the mine and pumped out to the surface with suitable capacity pumps. The pumped out water will be filtered on the surface and used for drinking and other mining operations on the pit head as well as supplied to the colonies.

The estimated water to be pumped out from the mine is about 7290 KLD. The water requirement of project is as follows:

Drinking water & Water spraying for mine :1500 KLD Drinking water to the colonies :2000 KLD Greenbelt development :500 KLD Let out :3290 KLD

Power: The source of power for the project will be from 132 KV Mandamarri sub-station, which is about 7 Km away from the project. Mandamarri sub-station is having sufficient spare capacity and no additional capital has been provided for strengthening the sub-station. 33 KV overhead transmission line originating from MM sub-station is feeding to KK-5 Inc., the neighboring mine. It is proposed to extend the transmission line up to this Project. The Power requirement for this project will be 10.841 MVA. Power received at surface sub-station will be stepped down to 3.3 KV for distribution and utilization.



Therefore, the incoming power supply for this Project will be as follows:

a. Source of power supply: Nearest MM 132/33 KV Sub-station through KK-5 incline.

b. Receiving voltage : 33 KV OHT Line c. Metering equipment : Incoming of 33 KV/3.3KV Proposed

Substation

viii. Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid/solid) and scheme for their disposal

In underground mine, wastes generated during the mining is very less compared to that of opencast mining. The solid waste generated will be generally the stone bands / dirt bands / shale produced during mining activity. The debris so produced will be used for underground track ballasting, leveling of the uneven floors and strengthening of surface bank head. The other wastes will include decayed timber in small proportions. The liquid wastes like used oils, grease etc; will be stored in separate tins / drums and sent to surface at regular intervals for disposing as per Hazardous Waste Management Rules. The water pumped out of the mine is treated in filter bed and reused for drinking purpose and other utilities.

(ii) Residential area (Non processing area) The Kalyani Khani - 6 Incline mine is located near well-communicated Mandamarri Township. In Mandamarri area there are well developed colonies. The percentage satisfaction provided for different categories of employees in Mandamarri area is 75%. As such no residential buildings are required for this project. (iii)Green belt Plantation will be carried out as a part of Green belt development at areas along the roads, around the CHP, MMV house, mine colony interface to dampen the noise, all over surface in the mine take area, along ML boundary and also in township outside lease area. (iv)Social Infrastructure Social Infrastructure available in the Mandamarri Area will cater the needs of the employees working in the mine and no further social infrastructure is proposed. Further there is an Area Hospital to cater the hospitalization needs of workmen. Company has extended the hospitalization facility at free of cost for the white card holders and also at nominal cost for the population residing in and around the project area. Community Hall and School is available for the company employees as well as the local population constructed and operated by the company at nominal rates.

(v) Connectivity(Traffic and transportation road/ Rail/Metro/ Water ways etc) Kalyani Khani - 6 Incline mine is situated in Mancherial District of Telangana and at a distance of 170 KM by road from District head quarters Mancherial and is 250 KM by road from state capital Hyderabad. Mandamarri Railway Station on the Kazipet - Balharshah rail line of the South Central Railway is the nearest rail head, about 4 Kms Southwest of the block. Marketing, Postal, Banking, Workshop, Transport, Hospital and other facilities are available at Mandamarri Township.

(vi)Drinking water management (Source and Supply of water)

The water required for the project will be met from the water pumped out from the mine workings. In the process of mining, water will be accumulated in the dip most places of the mine due to natural seepage. The water so accumulated will be collected in sumps at different places in the mine and pumped out to the surface with suitable capacity pumps. The pumped out water will be filtered on the surface and used for drinking and other mining operations on the pit head as well as supplied to the colonies.



The estimated water to be pumped out from the mine is about 7290 KLD. The water requirement of project is as follows:

i. Drinking water & Water spraying for mine :1500 KLD ii. Drinking water to the colonies :2000 KLD iii. Greenbelt development :500 KLD iv. Let out :3290 KLD

(vii) Sewerage system

The sewerage system has already been established in the township and the sewerage of the colony is being treated in STP and is let out for plantation. The sewage water from mine will be treated in septic tank followed by soak pits.

(viii) Industrial waste management

Disposal of effluents:

As the coal mining does not involve any chemical process, the mine discharge may contain coal fines, which will be let out into natural streams after removal of suspended solids. The other source of concern would be the domestic and service building effluents. The domestic effluent is being treated in septic tank followed by soak pits and effluents from workshops will be treated in Effluent Treatment Plant.

Disposal of Solid Waste:

The solid waste generated from the proposed project

a) While shaft sinking in the sub- soil for mine entries and b) While driving tunnels in hard rock and bottom stone blasting for leveling

purpose etc. The maximum depth of the workings will be around 565 m from surface. The shaft sinking and tunneling involves excavation of soil & stone by drilling and blasting. The solid waste produced during drivage of tunnels and shaft sinking will used for preparation of bank head at surface and debris so produced from inter-seam drifts will be utilized for underground track ballasting, leveling of the uneven floors and strengthening of surface bank head. Further, the rejects from mine will be used for laying road, filling cracks developed due to subsidence and pitching of embankments etc. In the coal extraction process, coal-containing impurities such as shale or sometimes sandstone will be transported to the coal handling plant. Here, the shale and sand stone will be picked out manually. This solid waste will be in the form of lumps. The solid waste disposal sites are identified in the low-lying areas and subsidence areas of SCCL. Hence, no appreciable impact is anticipated due to disposal of solid wastes.

(ix)Solid waste management The coal produced from the mine is not washed or treated at mine but produced coal will be washed at coal washery established nearby RK-1A Mine. The waste produced



from washery will be dumped at RKOCP which is at a distance of 3.5 Km from washery. The solid waste from the townships will be collected from the collection bins and tricycles provided by SCCL. The domestic solid waste collected will be transported to the disposal sites of SCCL. The solid waste disposal sites are identified in the low-lying areas and subsidence areas of SCCL. Hence, no appreciable impact is anticipated due to disposal of solid wastes.

(x) Power requirement & supply/source The source of power for the project will be from 132 KV Mandamarri sub-station, which is about 7 Km away from the project. Mandamarri sub-station is having sufficient spare capacity and no additional capital has been provided for strengthening the sub-station. 33 KV overhead transmission line originating from MM sub-station is feeding to KK-5 Inc., the neighboring mine. It is proposed to extend the transmission line up to this Project. The Power requirement for this project will be 10.841 MVA. Power received at surface sub-station will be stepped down to 3.3 KV for distribution and utilization. Therefore, the incoming power supply for this Project will be as follows:

a. Source of power supply: Nearest MM 132/33 KV Sub-station through KK-5 incline.

b. Receiving voltage : 33 KV OHT Line c. Metering equipment : Incoming of 33 KV/3.3KV Proposed

Substation

7. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN

There are no villages in the mine take are and hence no need of rehabilitation and resettlement.

8. PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES I. Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion(Time

schedule for the project to be given) The geological reserves and extractable reserves of the two workable seams (No.1A, No.1 Seams) are 41.36 MT and 15.65 MT respectively. It is proposed to extract coal with Continuous Miner Technology. The rated capacity of the project is arrived at by taking average output over the life of the mine, which is around 8.00 LTPA (Peak capacity of 12.30 LTPA). The total life of the project is 19 years including the period of accessing the coal deposit. Unlike manufacturing industry, the production from mining is subjected to variance over the calendar programme but not exceeding the peak production of 1.23 MTPA. The projection plans of the project are enclosed as plate No: 7&8.

The production scheduling for the life of the mine (19 years) is furnished in table-8.1.
