7.2 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
All types of industries face certain types of hazards which can disrupt normal activities abruptly. Similar
stone mining also have risks which need to be addressed for which a disaster management plan has been
formulated with an aim of taking precautionary
disaster which limits the damage to minimum. In the sections below, the identification of various hazards,
probable risks during the operational phase of the mining, maximum credible accident analy
consequences analysis are addressed either qualitatively or quantitatively.
Risk assessments will help mine operators to identify high, medium and low risk levels. This is a
requirement of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000. Risk assessmen
risks and provide information on the need to safely control the risks. In this way, mine owners and
operators will be able to implement safety improvements. The following natural/industrial problem may
be encountered during the mining operation.
• Inundation: Filling of the mine pit due to excessive rains
• Handling of overburden and heavy machinery,
• Storage of diesel,
• Slope failures at the mine faces or stacks

for the existing mines. Determining the factor of safety, the slopes should be monitored at regular
intervals to check for any possible failure.
7.3.3 Risk due to Handling of Overburden and Heavy Machinery
During the mining, most of the activities are done by the vehicles and the heavy machinery for mining
and handing of the mineral. During extraction of china clay from mining areas soil, grit, kankar etc will
also be removed in form of waste materials. The excavated soil, grit, kankar etc
backfilling of the pits. Therefore there is no risk associated with failure of waste dumps. Heavy machinery
also cause for accidents due to mechanical failure.
7.3.4 Risks of Accidents due to Trucks and Dumpers
Identifying the hazards that come along with the presence of vehicles at the workplace (
operations, loading) can cause harm if not properly handled. Among some of the factors that may make
vehicle accidents more likely are:
• Rough access roads
• Time pressure
• Inadequate brakes (Possibly from lack of maintenance)

procedures for handling emergencies likely to ari
for the TCL on the basis of the Risk Assessment and related findings covered in the report.
7.4.1 Disaster Management Plan: Structure
The Disaster Management Plan (DMP) is supposed to be a dynamic, changing, document focusing on
continual advantage of doing this is to have a system that is in synchronicity with commonly used SHE
systems such as ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
7.4.2 Policy
The Safety Health and Environmental (SHE) policy is existing & accessible to all at site and to other
stakeholders. The policy has been framed considering legislative compliance, stakeholder involvement,

Emergency Prevention
Some of the ways of preventing emergencies are as follows:
• Preparation of a Preventive Maintenance Schedule Programme and also covering maintenance
schedules for all critical equipments and instruments as per recommendations of the
manufacturers user manuals,
• Importantly, it is of great importance to collect and
incidents and accidents at the site, as well as for recording near
averted. This information gives an indication of how likely or unlikely it is for the site to face
actual emergency and what shall be further action to prevent them from occurring.
• Establishment of an ongoing training and evaluation programme, incorporating the development
of capabilities amongst employees about potential emergencies and ways and means of
identifying and averting the same. Most emergencies do not occur without some incident or an
abnormal situation. So there is always sometime of few seconds to few minutes to arrest an
incident of abnormal situation from turning in to an emergency. This is the role of th

7.10.1 Impacts of Air Pollution & Its Mitigation Measures
Surface mining, including opencast mining has always been a source of dust generation. The various
pollutants like SPM, SO2 & NO2 are not expected to have considerable variation from the existing levels
within study area which are generally below the limits specified by CPCB. The pollutant levels within lease
area will not rise considerably and are expected to confirm to the per
measures.
In this mining project the only source of emission is excavation, transportation, loading, hauling operation
and handling of mineral viz. China Clay
The likely sources of air pollution with respect to
• Operation of diesel based equipment like excavator, loader truck tractors
• Transportation of mineral
• Hauling & spillage of waste during loading & unloading handling.
• Air pollution from unpaved roads & surface.
7.10.1.1 Air Pollution Modeling Impact assessment is an important part of Environmental Impact Assessment Study. There are various
techniques available to predict the impacts. Mathematical modeling is an established and accepted technique
to predict the impacts. The open cast mines are potential sources of air pollution.

(D) Conclusion � From the results of ISCST3 and CALINE4 models, it is concluded that the maximum cumulative
concentrations of PM10 both due to mining activities and transportation are expected to be within
the prescribed standards for PM10. It is to be noted that the predi
mining activities and transportation are insignificant.
� The maximum impact of incremental concentration of PM10 due to loading activity at mine site
is confined to limited distance (300m) only. Beyond 300m distance the concen
due to mining activities is expected to be lower due to settlement of PM10 particles over short
distances. The same is confirmed by the low predicted concentration levels of PM10 at ambient
air quality stations (Figure 7.6 and Table 7.10).
� The incremental concentration due to transportation is limited to the length of unpaved haul road
from the mining lease area until nearest paved roads.
� The concentration of CO due to vehicle exhaust is negligible due to small number of vehicles
plying on haul road. The concentrations of SOx and NOx generated from mining area are
expected to be low due to absence of any major source.
� The predicted concentrations are due to proposed china clay mine only and higher pollutant
concentrations may be observed in t
anthropogenic activities, data for which is not available.
� The overall impact on air quality due to proposed mining project is expected to be low extending
to close vicinity of mining lease area
7.10.1.2 Mitigation Measures
The proposed mining operations are not anticipated to raise the concentration of the pollutants beyond
prescribed limits. However, the following measures are suggested mitigate any
pollutants -
� Plantation of trees along haul roads to help to reduce the impact of dust in the nearby villages;
� Planning transportation routes of mined material so as to reach the nearest paved roads by shortest
route. (minimize transportation over unpaved road);
