Addendum EIA & EMP of Expansion of NORTH URIMARI OCP
(Proposed Coal Production Capacity 4.20 MTPA)
1.0 Introduction
North Urimari OCP is situated in the north part of South Karanpura Coalfield of Central
Coalfields Limited at Hazaribagh district of Jharkhand State. The block owes its name
to the adjacent Urimari village in district Hazaribagh of state Jharkhand and is situated
at the Northern bank of Damodar River with its northern boundary demarcated by the
faulted metamorphic contact along the Aswa hills. The Urimari Block was explored by
MECL in search of superior/intermediate grade coal and the block occupies an area of
about 6.5 km. The block is bounded between the latitude 23041’04” N to 23042’52” N
and longitude 85016’06” E to 85019’36” E respectively. It forms part of topo-sheet 73
E/6. Refer Plate I & II for Location Plan and, core and buffer zone on Toposheet
respectively.
The block based on exploration have been structurally divided into two sectors-
northern sector falling in the up thrown side of southerly dipping Fault F8 (throw 120-
200m) has been designated as Sector I while the down thrown side of Fault F8 (south
eastern part) up to surface trace of Fault F3 in the west has been designated as Sector
II. 24 no. of seams/splits from Hathidhari to Argada D have been encountered and
proved in the block. Sector I having seam Argada D to Hathidhari seams possesses
very good opencast potentiality. Opencast potentiality of sector II is very limited due
to the fact that major Argada group of seams (Argada Top to Argada B) are
extensively affected by mica-peridotite intrusion in over bulk of the area in sector II.
North Urimari OCP (3.0 MTY) was planned to exploit Hathidhari to Argada B seams in
sector-I of Urimari Block. Based on the geological report prepared by MECL on 83
boreholes drilled in Urimari block, a Project Report (PR) for North Urimari OCP (3.0
MTY) was prepared in Dec.1989 with initial capital investment of Rs. 233.12 Crs.
The same project Report was re-cast considering geological report on Urimari Block
prepared by MECL in 1994. The capacity of the project was 3.0 MTY of grade ’G8’ non-
coking coal. The opencast project was divided in two quarries by Potanga nallah
flowing across the project. CCL Board approved the report on 31/12/2007 with
outsourcing of both coal and OB.
1.1 Purpose of the report
The Project obtained Environmental Clearance vide letter no J-11015/307/2005-IA.
II(M) dt: 08.02.2006 for coal production capacity of 3.00 MTPA. Enclosed as

Steep Gradient, 100 to 200 of the coal seams inclination in the quarry area between
CS 1-1’ to 4-4’ and between cross-sections 6-6’ to 9-9’.
Multiple small strike length along quarry floor in the quarriable area between cross-
sections 9-9’ to 11-11’ due to presence of fault F3F3, F4F4 & F5F5.
Presence of thick seams viz. Argada (A+B) and Argada (M+B) shovel dumper mining
system for both coal and OB in east quarry and, surface miner for coal in west
quarry.
2.2 Drilling and Blasting
Following measures are being taken while drilling and blasting operations in the quarry:
a) Drilling and Blasting in quarry is being done in accordance with the provisions of
Mines Safety Act, rules and regulations.
b) Adequate safety measures are being taken during blasting operation in the quarry so
that men / machine are not affected.
c) Blasting pattern and area to be blasted are carefully evolved for best results and the
blasted coal should be loaded as early as possible.
d) Controlled or muffled blasting is being practiced near the important surface
infrastructures and also within 100m of the vacant land. Besides this, necessary
safety precautions should be clearly laid down and implemented whenever, any
important surface features like public roads, rail, civil infrastructures / buildings etc.
fall within radius of the blasting zone.
2.3 Mine Boundary
a. Northern Boundary
The northern floor boundary is fixed along incrop of Argada (A+B) seam and fault F1-
F1, a major fault separating barakars and metamorphics.
b. Southern Boundary
Southern floor boundary is fixed along fault F8-F8
c. Eastern Boundary
Eastern Floor Boundary is fixed along the incrop of seam Argada’B’
d. Western Boundary
Western surface boundary is fixed at a distance of about 60m from the Tillaiya Nallah.
Tillaiya Nallah separates Aswa north block existing in the west of proposed quarry.
Hence a safe barrier of 60m has been left from the Nallah while formulating the
proposed project report.

4.0 Detail of Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
4.1 Air Pollution Control
The proposal is for enhancement of coal production from 3 MTPA to 4.20 MTPA within the
same project area. Several mining and allied activities like increased rate of coal and OB
extraction, transportation of coal etc. may contribute to additional pollution levels in core
and buffer zone. Therefore, this study has been focused on identifying the sources of air
pollution, quantification and prediction of air quality changes in core and buffer zone using
air quality modelling due to proposed mining activity.
Sources of air pollution
The main sources of air pollution are identified as-
1) Drilling & blasting in coal & OB benches.
2) Loading & unloading of Coal & OB.
3) Coal & OB transportation inside the mine.
4) Coal crushing & transportation from mine to washery.
5) Wind erosion from coal stockyard & OB Dump.
Micrometeorological Data
The micrometeorological data generated during the Pre-Monsoon period has been considered for Air quality impact prediction. The representative meteorological data for the study period is as given below.

Emission Factors
A S&T study titled, “Development of emission factors for various mining machineries &
operations in opencast coal mines (EE-27)” was carried out by CMPDI(HQ) during 2002 to
2008. During this study, emission factors for Suspended Particulate Matter (PM ≤ 100 μm)
were developed for Drilling, Loading of coal and OB by Shovel, Unloading of OB, Transportation
on haul roads and Coal sizing. The emission factors data for PM -10 and PM -2.5 have been
estimated on the basis of particle size distribution study. SPM Emission Factors & control factors

Air Quality Model
AERMOD version 9.4.0 has been used to predict the impact on the ambient air quality of the
core and buffer zone of the study area due to mining operations with 1.20 MTPA
incremental capacity. The dust emission levels from mining operations are based on USEPA
publications and an S&T study titled, “Development of emission factors for various mining
machineries & operations in opencast coal mines (EE-27)”, which was carried out by
CMPDI(HQ) during 2002 to 2008 and USEPA AP 42.
Six receptors (2 Core and 4 Buffer) have been identified primarily based on the wind
direction and proximity to the source.

IFurther, Green belt all along the remaining transportation road will
be developed.
Total six no. of water tankers have been deployed to water sprinkling
for dust suppression on haul road, faces and dumping area.
Fugitive emission is reduced considerably as coal extraction is done
by surface miner. Wet drill is undertaken.
The density of plantations under taken is 2500 plants per ha. So far
3.90 Ha of area has already been planted in the nearby areas.
Species of plants are sisam, gambhar, Bakain, Mahua,Bambu,
Karange, Sal, Kathal, Mango etc. However after post mining stage
afforestation shall be done on backfilled areas, ext. OB dump etc.
Vehicular emission is under control and regularly monitored. No
vehicles are used for transportation of the mineral without cover of
tarpaulins and vehicles are optimally loaded.
Dust masks have been issued to exposed workmen. Occupational

oil & grease traps for workshop has been provided.
Rain Water
Harvesting
No ground water (bore well) is used for mining operations. Around 1580
m3/day of mine discharge is being stored in the mine voids for the purpose of
ground water recharge. The proposal for Rooftop Rainwater harvesting on
project office building is in process. It will be installed in the next financial year.
The estimate for Rs 7,52,757.99 is prepared and the work will be completed by
the next financial year. Roof area of project office is 42 m x 10.30 m. top rain
water of roof area comes through small sizes of 11 nos of PVC pipes of 110 mm
size laying.
4.3 Noise Level Management
The mining operation may cause noise nuisance if adequate precautions are not taken to
keep the noise level within limits. Environment standards for coal mines stipulates that
noise level in operational/ working zone shall not exceed 85 dB(A) Leq. The following
measures therefore, have been envisaged to reduce the noise level to protect the workers
from noise hazard and to adhere to the Environmental standards in respect of noise.
a. Use of equipment with arrangement for absorbing the operational noise.
b. Foundations of vibrating equipment to be designed with isolators to prevent vibration
so that the noise level does not exceed 85 dB(A) Leq.
c. Control blasting is under taken under supervision of the blasting officer, proper blast
design is prepared to control ground vibration and arrest fly rocks and boulders.
Blasting is done with the use of SHOCK TUBES.
d. Adequate measures have been taken, noise levels are regularly monitored and kept
below 85 dBA within work environment. Ear plugs / muffs are provided to mine
workers for regular use. Use of insulated cabins for operators.
e. Plantation of trees around the plant area.
f. Routine maintenance of HEMM with prompt replacement of worn-out parts.

post-monsoon (November) and
winter (January) and the data thus
collected may be sent regularly to
MOEF, Central Ground Water
Authority and Regional Director
Central Ground Water Board.
North Urimari OCP.
Action is being taken to install piezometre at such
location to monitor ground water level and quality.
To monitor the impact of mining on local ground water
regime, three location has been identified for construction
of four nos. piezometers (Pz-1 to Pz-4) tapping Shallow,
Deeper and confined aquifers around the mine periphery
of North Urimari OCP, Barka-Sayal Area, SKCF.
Piezometer number Pz-1 and 2 is tapping combined
aquifer (respective Depth up to 98.0 m 139.0 m),
Piezometer Pz-3 is tapping shallow aquifer (Depth up to
27.0 m) and Piezometer Pz-4 is tapping deeper aquifer
(Depth up to 90.0 m). The proposed locations of
piezometers are based on following factors:
1) Same aquifer should be tapped in the Piezometer
which is contributing mine inflow and aquifers
were identified on the basis of litho logs of
Exploratory Boreholes.
2) Location should be adjacent to the mine and also
near to local village to observe the actual impact
of mining on Groundwater.
Ground water report is being submitted with help of
network of dug well in and around the project area.
12) Permission from the competent
authority should be obtained for
drawl of water from the river.
At present no Water is being withdrawn from river for use at
North Urimari OCP.
13) The project proponent should
carry out ground water modelling
studies in the area simulating
transient conditions to predict the
impact of mining on ground water
regime in and around area on a
long term basis and the data thus
collected may be sent regularly to

4.6 Mine Closure of North Urimari OCP
Details of Escrow Fund for Mine Closure
As per MOC guidelines, a corpus escrow account @ Rs. 6.0 lakhs per Ha of the property
leasehold shall be opened with the coal controller organization to meet the expenses of
final mine closure. Thus the total expenditure on this front may be calculated in following
manner:
Basis of Calculation
The total mine lease area is 523.06 Ha, so the corpus based on August, 2009 rate is Rs.
3138.36 Lakh @ Rs. 6.0 Lakh/Ha of lease area. The wholesale price index in August,
2009 and April, 2018 is 129.60 and 182.32 (including base year conversion factor of
1.561) respectively. So the current value of corpus is Rs 3138.36 x 182.32/129.60 Lakh,
which comes to Rs. 4415.01 lakh. The amount already deposited in the escrow account
including interest is 1165.95 lakhs. Therefore, net amount to be deposited is 3249.06
lakhs. Since this is an operating/existing mine, this corpus is to be divided by balance life
of mine. The balance life of the mine is 22 years. So, by dividing by 22 years, the annual
corpus comes to Rs. 147.68 Lakh.

As per above an amount will be deposited every year up to the last year of mine life. The
amount calculated by the above formula shall be deposited every year by CCL in the
Escrow amount opened with the Coal Controller organization in a scheduled Bank. An
agreement, outlining detailed terms and conditions of operating the said Escrow Account
shall be executed amongst CCL, the Coal Controller and the commercial Bank.
However the additional amount beyond the escrow account, if any estimated later on, will
be provided by the mine operator after estimating the final mine closure cost five years
prior to mine closure (as per the mine closure guideline).

4.7 Socio-Economic Issues:
The project has given a boost to the economy of the area by providing primary and
secondary employment to local people. The infra-structural facilities provided by the project
are benefitting local villagers also. The mine closure activity is likely to significantly reduce
the impact of industrial activity on the land apart from increasing the green cover and
surface water availability. The standard of living of the local inhabitants has improved
significantly due to indirect employment and service opportunities.
Resettlement & Rehabilitation of PAPs
A total of eleven tolas are in vicinity of the projects. A detailed R&R plan for 545 PAFs from
the 11 nos of tolas including 462 nos of tribals to be displaced from the project area has
been prepared and implemented in process.
Out of 545 PAFs, 63 families have already been rehabilitated and the status is as given
below.

2. Compensation to the affected PAPs
The project proponent has taken the following mitigative measures to minimize impact due to possible water and air pollution:
1. Air and Water Pollution:
• Water Sprinkling is being done by mobile sprinklers on transportation road/
haul roads
• Static Sprinkler has been installed in the railway siding
• Plantation has been done over 9.9 Ha
• All drills are equipped with wet drilling arrangement.
• Collection of Mine water in sump.
• Monitoring of environmental parameters every fortnight
• Allocation of capital fund of Rs.917.46 Lakhs in PR for anti-pollution measures
in mines and township
• Covered transportation of coal by trucks
2. Land Compensation, Employment to PAFs & R&R
Providing land compensation and Employment to PAFs is a continuous process. As per existing CIL R&R Policy, 2012 CCL has to provide one employment for every two acres of land along with some other benefits as defined under R&R policy. The project has given a boost to the economy of the area by providing primary and secondary employment to local people. The infra-structural facilities provided by the project are benefitting local villagers also. A total of eleven tolas are in vicinity of the projects. A detailed R&R plan for 545 PAFs from the 11 nos of tolas to be displaced from the project area has been prepared and implementation is in process. Out of 545 PAFs, 63 families have already been rehabilitated and the status is as given below.
