INTRODUCTION
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter– I: Introduction
2/I
The mining industry is a major force in a nation’s economy, occupying a
primary position at the start of the resource supply chain. To date, it
appears that the main constraints to sustainability in the mining sector
derive from the ever-increasing demand for mined resources, the
consumption of resources and the increasing pollution generated by the
extraction process. Therefore a sustainable development of the area
involving extraction of mineral wealth vis-à-vis protection of environment
is the ultimate solution for betterment of Mankind and Earth.
1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT
Environment Impact Assessment is a decision-making tool, which guides the
decision makers in taking appropriate decisions for proposed projects. It
aims predicting environmental impacts at an early stage of project planning
and design, find ways and means to reduce adverse impacts, shape projects
to suit the local environment and present the predictions and options to
decision makers. The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change,
Govt. of India, made Environmental Clearance (EC) for certain development
projects mandatory through its notification of 27/01/1994 under the
Environment Protection Act, 1986. Keeping in view of the experience gained
in environmental clearance process over a period of one decade, the MoEF &
CC came out with Environment Impact Notification, SO 1533(E), and
dt.14/09/2006. It has been made mandatory to obtain environmental
clearance for different kinds of developmental projects such as green field,
expansion, modernization or renovation of existing projects. The conditions
are applicable as per the MoEF&CC guidelines and EIA notifications issued
and amended time to time.
1.1 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The present Environmental Impact Assessment report is prepared to comply
with the Terms of Reference (TOR) received from EAC MoEF & CC, GOI
under EIA notification of the MoEF dated 14th September, 2006 as
amended and also the EIA Technical Manual for Mining of Minerals (Feb,
2010) of MoEF, Govt.of India, for seeking environmental clearance for

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter –II: Project Description
2/II
2.0 TYPE OF PROJECT
The project is proposed for the excavation of Boulder, Gravel and Sand
from the dry portion of bed of River Yamuna. It is an opencast semi-
mechanized mining project to excavate minerals in their existing form.
2.1 NEED FOR THE PROJECT
River channels and their floodplains are important sources of
construction grade aggregate materials like sand and gravel. The
durability of river-borne coarser clastics and their sorting by fluvial action
make them best suitable raw materials / ingredients for building
constructions (Kondolf et al., 2002). The market demand of river sand is
high throughout the country.
The project lies on dry portion of river bed of Yamuna. Sand bars have
been formed at various places hindering the flow of water and excess
deposition had changed the shape of the river bed. Because of this,
during monsoon season, the water may rise above the high flood level
causing heavy and devastating floods. Such disasters may damage large
tracts of land lying on both the banks of the river especially the
agricultural lands. Hence, it is necessary to remove the materials so that
the river gets channelized.
Apart from this the project will also serve the following:
• Generate various employment opportunities especially to the local
people hosting the mining project.
• Economic development of the state by contributing to state exchequer.
TOPOGRAPHY & GEOLOGY
Topography
Yamuna Nagar district of Haryana located in north-eastern part of
Haryana State. The district is bounded, in north by Himachal Pradesh, in
the east by Uttar Pradesh, in west by Ambala district, in south by Karnal
and Kurukshetra districts. Total geographical area of the district is 1756
sq.km and comprises 4% of total area of State.
The district is mainly drained by the rivers Yamuna, Markanda and its
tributaries. Markanda is tributary of river Ghaggar and drains major part
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter –II: Project Description
3/II
of the district. The high land between Markanda River and small rivulets
of River Yamuna acts as basin boundary between west flowing rivers of
Indus system and east flowing Rivers of Ganga basin. River Yamuna
drains eastern part of the district and acts as boundary between Haryana
and Uttar Pradesh State.
Yamuna Nagar district is bestowed with rich water resources, both
surface as well as ground water resources. The ground water is major
sources of irrigation in the district. Nearly 40% of area is irrigated by
canal water. Distributaries in the district are 21.45 km long. Two major
canals passing through the district are Western Yamuna Canal and
augmentation canal. Length of unlined WJC is 63.64km whereas
augmentation canal is 22.54 km long. Net irrigated area is 1130km2
whereas, gross irrigated area 1860km2
Systematic hydro geological surveys in the district was carried out by
Geological Survey of India during 1956-61.Re-Appraisal Hydro Geological
Surveys in the district were carried out by Central Ground Water Board,
during 1975-77,1981- 82 and 1988-89.Detailed hydro geological and
water balance studies were carried out under Ghaggar and Upper
Yamuna Projects. Ground water exploration has been carried out in
various phases and so far 5 exploratory wells, 15 slim holes and 15
piezometers have been constructed in the district.
. Percentage of gross area irrigated
to total cropped area is 91.6%.

Geology
Yamuna Nagar District falls in geological domain in the Shivalik hills
which are confined to the northern part of Haryana. Yamuna Nagar
District has subtropical continental monsoon climate that is
characterised by seasonal rhythm, hot summers, cool winter, unreliable
rainfalls and great variation in temperature. In winters frost sometime
occurs during December and January. Yamuna Nagar District
experiences extreme climate conditions. May and June are the hottest
months while December and January are the coldest. Maximum

temperature on average goes as high as 44 degree Celsius in the summer
season. Temperature starts rising steadily from February onwards till the
onset of monsoon. The average annual rainfall of the district comes out to
be:
Normal Annual Rainfall 1107 mm
Normal monsoon Rainfall 898 mm
The important rivers of the district are Yamuna River, Sarasvati,
Chautang, Rakshi Rivers, etc. Yamuna River enters the district from its
northeastern corner through a narrow corridor in the Shivalik. It is a
perennial river. Generally, the slope of Yamuna Nagar District is from
north-east to south-west, in which direction most of rivers flow down. The
soils in the district are mainly loamy in nature. The underground water in
the district is suitable for domestic and irrigation purposes. The district
has favorable climate for the growth of rich vegetation due to reasonably
good rainfall and elevation. Tropical dry deciduous forests and sub-
tropical forests are found here. Yamuna Nagar District of Haryana
receives second highest rainfall after Panchkula District.

Geomorphology
The district is divided into five Physiographic units;
Siwaliks
Dissected Rolling Plains
Interfluvial Plains
Active and Recent Flood Plains
Relict Plains
Siwaliks hills - Siwalik hill ranges occupy the northern fringe of Yamuna
Nagar district and attain the height up to 950m AMSL. The hills are about
500m high with respect to the adjacent alluvial plains. These are
characterized by the broad tableland topography that has been carved
into quite sharp slopes by numerous ephemeral streams come down to
the outer slopes of the Siwaliks and spread much of gravels boulders,
pebbles in the beds of these streams.
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter –II: Project Description
5/II
Kandi Belt - A dissected rolling plain in the northern parts of district is a
transitional tract between Siwaliks hills and alluvial plains. It is about 25
km wide and elevation varies between 250 and 375m AMSL.
Interfluvial plains - This tract is part of higher ground between Ghaggar
and Chautang and includes high mounds and valleys. In general, the
slope is from northeast to southwest.

CLIMATE, RAINFALL & SOIL:
The climate of Yamuna Nagar district can be classified as subtropical
monsoon, mild &dry winter, hot summer and sub-humid which is mainly
dry with hot summer and cold winter except during monsoon season
when moist air of oceanic origin penetrates into the district. There are
four seasons in a year. The hot weather season starts from mid March to
last week of the June followed by the southwest monsoon which lasts up
to September. The transition period from September to November forms
the post monsoon season. The winter season starts late in November and
remains up to first week of March.

Soils
The soils in the district are mainly silty loam (Khadar), loam (Bhangar and
Nardak), and light loam (Seoti). The soils as classified by the national
bureau of soil survey and land use planning (icar), Nagpur, the district
has mainly udalfs, aquents-fluvents and ochrepts-orthents types of soils.
2.2 SURFACE DRAINAGE PATTERN
Drainage
The important rivers/ streams of the district are Yamuna, Sarasvati,
Chautang, Rakshi, Somb, Boli, etc.
Yamuna river after rising from the snow-clad peaks of the middle
himalayas at yamnotri, enters the district from its northeastern corner
through a narrow corridor in the Siwaliks. It is a perennial river. bolinadi
joins the sombnadi near dadupur and then the combined somb and
bolinadis join the Yamuna River at meharmajra. The rakshi stream takes
its birth in the rolling foot hill plain while the Chautang and Sarasvati
rivers originate in the lower hills. Generally, the slope of the district is
from north-east to south- west, in which direction most of rivers/nadis/
rainfed torrents flow down.

Catchment of River Yamuna:
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter –II: Project Description
7/II
The total catchment basin of the Yamuna River is 3,66,223 km2
(catchment area in various states = 3,45,848 km2; Yamuna river area =
20,375 km2
The surface drainage pattern map is attached as Map No. 2.
), which is 42.5% of the Ganga basin and 10.7% of the total
geographical landmass of the country. Of the total drainage area of the
Yamuna basin, 70.9% area drains through the tributaries of Yamuna, and
the balance area (i.e. 29.1%) are either directly drains or is occupied by
smaller streams. Of its total run of 1376 km, it passes through
Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
Drainage Basin area of River Yamuna at Haryana (square KM/square
mile) with % of Drainage Basin is 21265/8214(6.5%).

Yamuna and acts as water divide between the ancient River Saraswati
and Yamuna. The Riverine action deposited several meter thick sand
layers in the riverbed. Slow shifting of river Yamuna towards east left
behind several meter deep sand deposits, which was subsequently
covered by alluvium consisting sand, silt and clay to form topsoil. The
Yamuna basin (Figure given below) measuring around 1700 sq km is
estimated to have 300 billion cu m sand deposits lying below agricultural
land.

The description of Sand found in the lease area as minor mineral is
as under:
The thickness of sand varies from 310 m in river bed whereas the
thickness in the agriculture fields is more than 20m.
Sediments of various sizes and in mixed form are predominantly
deposited in the river bed and there is no perfect classification between
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter –II: Project Description

sediments. These may be called as coarse sand, medium sand and fine
sand.
The term sand is used to denote an aggregate of mineral or rock grains
greater than 1/16mm and less than 2 mm in diameter.
2.3 MINING
Mining will be done as per the guidelines of Haryana Minor Mineral
Concession Rules, 2012.
• This is an open-cast mining project. The operation will be semi-
mechanized with use of excavators/JCBs etc. The sand will be
collected in its existing form.
• Sand Mining will be carried out only upto a depth of 3 m bgl or above
ground water level (whichever comes first),
• No drilling /blasting are required as the material is loose in nature.
• Mining will be done only during the day time and completely stopped
during the monsoon season.
• Mining will not be done inside stream till it is allowed as per rules.
Mineable reserves and anticipated life of the mine
It is presumed that the mineral will be replenished every year during the
rainy season. New mineral will be added every year in the river bed. As
lease has been granted for 10 years, mining will be done for the allotted
time, till the mineral replenished continues.
PRODUCTION (EXTRACTABLE QUANTUM)
The mineable area has been considered with an ultimate depth of 3 meter
from the surface for calculation of the reserve. For the tonnage estimation
the reserve quantity is multiplied with the bulk density of 2 tonnes per
cum.
Reserve:
As per the above calculation, it has been estimated that the reserve is
20,64,000 tonnes.
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter –II: Project Description
10/II
However considering the factors such as geological disturbances, volume
that cannot be mined due to flow of water and also considering the safety
factor, approximately 10,15,400 tonnes has been considered as
production or the extractable quantity from the mineable area for grant of
Environmental Clearance from an estimated reserve of 20,64,000 tonnes
of minerals deposit in it. The minerals excavated from the river bed
material will be replenished gradually during the monsoon season every
year.
Production (Extractable Quantum):
The extractable quantum in the first year would be limited to 10,15,400
tonnes. The extractable amount for the further years may vary depending
on amount/rate of actual replenishment which is to be monitored by
expert agencies every year limited to 10,15,400 tonnes/year.
Lease has been allotted for a period of 10 years in one single block named
Tajewala. Lease area consist of 48.97 ha area.
Mining Process:
• Mining will be done in entire lease area leaving safety distance form
bank and stream for river bed.
• Mining will be done upto a maximum depth of 3 m in layers of 1 m
each starting from the downstream end, which will avoid ponding
effect.
• Mining will be confined within central 3/4th width of the river. This
will prevent collapse of bank and erosion.
• It will be done leaving a safety zone of total of 1/4th of the width of
the river from the banks for bank protection. Excavated area will be
replenished naturally due to sediment inflow from the catchment
area.

i. Particulate Matter (PM):-
The CPCB method and IS 5182 (Part-XXIII) adopt a very similar approach
to particulate sampling. There are some differences in the expressions
used, but they are generally of no practical significance. It is
recommended that CPCB method is adapted.
ii. Equipment Calibration:
For accurate testing of emission sources, the components of the sampling
train is calibrated by outsource and supplier (Master Calibrator)
standards and solutions are used, calibrated under certified reference
material. The Ambient air quality monitoring locations are marked in Map
No. 4.
The ambient air quality data were collected to find the existing GLC. The
data is given in Table No. 3.1 (iv).

The chlorides and Sulphates were found to be in the range of 15-28 mg/l and 9-
16 mg/l respectively.
Bacteriological examination of surface water samples revealed the presence of
total coliform in range of 270 MPN/100 ml to 900 MPN/100 ml against the limit
of 5000 MPN/100 ml.
Based on the results it is evident that most of the parameters of the samples
comply with ‘Category C’ standards of CPCB, indicating drinking water source
after conventional treatment and disinfection.

Results Noise monitoring reveals that the minimum & maximum noise levels at day
time were recorded as 48.5 dB(A) at NQ2 & 51.8 dB(A) at NQ-4 respectively.
The maximum & minimum noise levels at night time were found to be 40.2
dB(A) at NQ4 & 39.5 dB(A) at NQ1 respectively.
There are several sources in the 10 km radius of study area, which contributes
to the local noise level of the area. On the commencement of the project, the
sound from traffic activities will add to the ambient noise level of the area. This
will be kept under check by taking proper suggestive measures.
3.1.6 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
Biological diversity comprises the variability of species, genus and ecosystems
and is very crucial for maintaining the basic processes on which the life
depends. Broadly it can be divided in to two types i.e. the floral diversity and
faunal diversity. Conservation of the biodiversity is essential for the sustainable
development as it not only provides the food, fodder and medicine but also
contribute in improvement of essential environmental attributes like air, water,
soil, etc.
Before starting any Environmental Impact Assessment study, it is necessary to
identify the baseline of relevant environmental parameters which are likely to
be affected as a result of operation of the proposed project. A similar approach
has been adopted for conducting the study on Biological Environment for this
Project. Both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems have been studied to
understand the biological environment.
Study Area:
The study area is the core zone of mine lease area and 10km radial area
around the mine lease boundary. The mine lease to mine boulder, gravel and
sand is located in dry riverbed of Yamuna River near village Tajewala, Dist:
Yamuna Nagar, Haryana.
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter– III: Description of Environment
Physical Environment of Yamuna Nagar District:
Yamunanagar district came into existence on 1st November, 1989. Its area is
1756 km2. Before being named Yamunanagar it was known as Abdullapur.
Large part of the district lies under the Shiwalik foothills. It is an important
industrial town having metal, utensil and plywood industries. Large industries
like ShriGopal Paper Mills and Saraswati Sugar Mills (biggest Sugar mill in
Asia) are also located here.
Yamuna Nagar district is bounded by the state of Himachal Pradesh in the
north, by the state of Uttar Pradesh in the east and south east by the districts
of Yamuna Nagar and Kurukshetra in the south west and by Ambala district in
the west.
Vegetation of the Study area
The district has favorable climate for the growth of rich vegetation due to
reasonably good rainfall and elevation. Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo), kikar
(Acacia nilotica), Aam (Mangifera indica), Jamun (Syzygium cumini), pipal (Ficus
religiosa), Bodh (Ficus benghalensis) Neem (Azadirachta indica), etc. are the
important tree species grown in the area. Safeda (Eucalyptus hybrida) has been
introduced since 1963 in forest areas as well as on private land and popular is
also grown on private land and also along the road routes. The natural
vegetation is mainly of forest growth and its degradation stages. Tropical dry
deciduous forests and sub-tropical forests are found here.
Kalesar National Park is situated about 2.5 kilometer north of the
proposed project site.
Kalesar National Park
Kalesar National Park is situated in the foot hills of Shiwalik ranges of mighty
Himalays. On map it is located between 30018 to 30027 North latitude & 770 25
to 770 35 East longitude. It falls under Yamunanagar district of Haryana and
sharing boundary with three states viz., Himachal Pradesh & Uttranchal& U.P.
The Yamuna river form the Eastern boundary with Uttar Pradesh, the main
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter– III: Description of Environment
Shiwalik ridge separates state boundary among Haryana, Himachal Pradesh &
Uttaranchal in the north.
Kalesar National Park is named after the Kalesar (shiva) temple located in
protected area. The whole area is full of bio-diversity having dens Sal forest,
Khair forest and patches of grass lands, which supports variety of plants and
animal species.
The park was declared as National Park on 8thDecember 2003 having an area
of 11570 acres. Just adjacent to the National Park is Kalesar Wildlife
Sanctuary and it was notified on 13thDecember 1996, having an area of 13209
acres.
Boundaries
The entire National Park & Sanctuary area is duly notified and demarcated on
the ground with the help of pillars and natural boundaries like rivers and
torrents. To the north of National Park Simbalwada Wildlife Sanctuary
(Himachal Pradesh) is there separated by ridge line and marked by pillars. To
the East Yamuna river makes boundary of park with Uttar Pradesh. To the
south agriculture lands of village’s viz., Tajewala, Araynwala, Naggal, Tiberian,
Khizri, Baghpat, Khillanwala, Kansli, Darpur, Chicken, Jatanwal and Kot are
situated. The western side is bounded by the crop fields of villages Faqirmajra
and Ibrahimpur.
Animals in National Park
Corresponding to the considerable diversity of habitat types, the wild animals
of Kalesar protected area show a good variety of species. Although numbers are
rather low at present, due to the full protection provided by park authorities,
the population will increase to the full carrying capacity of the area within few
years.Among herbivores Sambhar is common, especially in the more densely
forested areas on gentle slopes, groups of 2 to 4 are often seen. Chital is
another common herbivore found in open grassy patches and fire lines.
Barking deer is found especially in forest areas with ample ground cover. The
Goral is found in the park occupying a specialized niche on the relatively bare
rocky slope at the top of Shiwalik ridges.
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter– III: Description of Environment
Antelopes are represented by the Nilgai or Blue bull which occurs in the more
open areas bordering Yamuna plain. Wild boar is also fairly common in the
park and it also raids on crops. Elephant is an occupational visitor from Rajaji
National Park. Elephants use to stay at Kalesar Protected Area for few weeks
and used to go back to Rajaji National Park.
The Rhesus macaque is most common monkey in the park and most of these
were released in the park area from outside. Presently, there number is too
high for these monkeys also feeds on eggs of Red Jungle fowl, so there is a
apprehension that there is a decrease in Red Jungle Fowl number. Most of the
time these monkeys attack on villages and also go for crap raids. Among the
carnivores in Kalesar Protected Area leopard take pride place. There are about
10-12 leopard in the entire Protected Area. The tiger is also an occasional
visitor from Rajaji national park. It stays for few days and goes back. If there is
increase in prey base it can permanently stay in the park.
Forests cover in Yamuna Nagar District: (Area in km2):
The forest cover in Yamuna Nagar districts very less, out of total area 1768
km2, total forest area is 194 km2(10.97) which comprises 21 km2 very dense
forest, 86 km2 moderately dense forest, 87km2 open forest (Source: India state of forest report, 2011) Study period and methodology
Detailed survey was conducted to evaluate floral and faunal composition of the
study area. Primary data on floral and faunal composition was recorded during
site visit and secondary data was collected from the Forest department and
published relevant literature. Inventory of flora and fauna has been prepared
on the basis of collected data.

Flora of the Core zone
The core zone comprises of Yamuna river bed, where mining operation is
proposed. This area consists of riparian vegetation in which aquatic and
marshland plants are the main component. Most among them are weeds. No
ecologically sensitive plant species has been reported from this area. Riparian
vegetation is found along the river side. In stagnant water growth of
hydrophytes likes Hydrolea zeylanica, Ipomoea carnea, Ludwigia adscendens,
Sagittaria sagittifolia, Spilanthes paniculata, Typha latifolia, etc. can be
commonly observed.

Forest Types of Yamuna Nagar
The area has varied topography ranging from plains to hills. The alluvial and
fertile Indo-Gangetic plains dominate the topography of the area. Siwalik Hills
and Himachal Pradesh is situated in the north of the district. Haryana, which
receives little rainfall and is drought prone, has only one significant perennial
river i.e. Yamuna, which forms Haryana's eastern boundary and which feeds
an extensive irrigation network. The Ghaggar is one of several seasonal rivers
flowing south from the Siwalik Hills. The area has tropical dry deciduous
forest There are mainly two types of forest found within 10 kilometer buffer of
the proposed project area, i) Northern Dry Mixed Deciduous Forest (5B/C2)
and ii) Dry Deciduous Scrub (5/DS1).
Northern Dry Mixed Deciduous Forest (5B/C2): This type occurs on the
upper dry slopes along the Siwaliks and their extensions. The upper canopy is
usually light, open and irregular. The trees having relatively short bole and
poor form and a height rarely over 10 meters. The canopy is formed entirely of
deciduous trees. Major species are Cassia fistula, Diospyros tomentosa, Acacia
catechu, Anogeissus latifolia, Bombax ceiba, Albizialebbeck, Albizia procera,
Acacia nilotica, Acacia modesta, Bauhinia variegata, Syzygium cumini,
Mangifera indica, Ehretia laevis, Phoenix spp., Morus alba,Morus australia,
Terminalia tomentosa, Boswellia serrata, Aegle marmelos, Bauhinia racemosa,
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter– III: Description of Environment
Bauhinia purpurea, Erythrina suberosa, Ficus glomerata, Grewia elastica,
Mallotus philippensis and Shorea robusta (rarely).
Dry Deciduous Scrub (5/DS1): This type is located adjacent to the habitation
in the Siwalik foot hills. This represents a degradation stage of the tropical dry
deciduous forest and has been brought into existence by adverse biotic factor
like excessive grazing, lopping, felling and fires. In spite of sufficient rains,
moisture retention is very poor and the type has now become a stable edaphic
climax. The crop is open with less tree cover. The main tree species found are
Diospyros tomentosa, Acacia leucophloea, Butea monosperma, Premnabarbata,
Cassia fistula, Anogeissus latifolia and Lannea grandis. The undergrowth is
mainly Carissa opaca, Woodfordia fruticosa, Nyctanthes arbortristis and
Flacourtia indica.
Buffer zone of this project site is mainly agriculture, agricultural fallow land
and Kalesar National Park. The flora of buffer zone comprises of plants growing
on the edges of agricultural land, village woodlots and trees planted along the
roads. Many tree species are planted in the area because of their usefulness,
economic and aesthetic values. The tree species observed in the area are, Sal
(Shorea robusta),Jamun (Syzygium cumini), Bail (Aegle marmelos), Bakain
(Melia azedarach), Bargad (Ficus bengalensis), Neem (Azadirachta indica),
Popular (Populas deltoides), Safeda (Eucalyptus sp), Sisam (Dalbergia
sissoo),Bhimal (Grewia optiva) etc.
In agricultural waste land and along the road side, growth of weeds like
Argemone mexicana, Cannabis sativa, Cenchrus ciliaris, Heteropogon contortus,
Lantana camara, Parthenium hysterosphorus, etc. are very common. These
weeds are affecting the agricultural productivity of the region due to fast
growth, short life cycle and enormous production of seeds.
Waste land:
Most of the areas nearby the Core zone are waste land. Commonly seen plant
species in such areas are Cannabis sativa, Lantana camara, Ipomea carnea,
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Chapter– III: Description of Environment
Calotropis procera, Cassia tora, Parthenium hysterophorus, Ziziphus mauritiana,
Heteropogon contortus, Argemone mexicana, etc. These weeds are affecting the
agricultural productivity of the region due to fast growth, short life cycle and
enormous production of seeds.
Vegetation in and around human settlement:
Vegetation pattern in villages and surrounding areas are slightly different from
the rest of the areas. The common species grown near villages are mostly edible
or useful plants such as Mangifera indica, Syzygium cumini, Azadirachta indica,
Albizia lebbeck, Delonix regia, Tamarindus indica, etc.

WILD LIFE AND AVIFAUNA OF THE STUDY AREA:
The major part of the study area lies under agriculture field, forest and human
settlements in the South West, West to North east part of the study area while
the North and the North west to North east part are covered with forest and
Kalesar National Park. River Yamuna borders the habitat area of wild life from
the east (vide Land use map) which restrict the wildlife habitat significantly.
Kalesar National Park situated at 2.5 km in North direction of the site supports
various animal species.
FAUNA:
Mammals: Core zone of the area is devoid of wild mammals, but many
domesticated mammal species are reported from buffer zone during the field
survey. Common grazing animals like buffalo, cow, goat etc. can be noticed in
open grass fields. Small mammals like Indian palm squirrel (Funambulus

CHAPTER-IV
ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT AND MITIGATION MEASURES
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP-CHAPTER–IV Anticipated Environmental Impact
and Mitigation Measure
2/IV
4.0 GENERAL
All industrial and/or development projects are likely to have an impact on the
natural set up of the environment. This impact may be beneficial or adverse,
depending on the improvement or the deterioration it brings, about change in
the status of air, water, land, ecology, natural systems, socio-cultural life styles
and economics of the population. Depending on the nature of activities and
baseline environment status, the impacts are assessed for their importance. On
the basis of the impact analysis, the mitigating action and future monitoring
requirement are paid attention to in the Environmental Management Plan for
countering or minimizing the impacts.
Keeping in mind, the environmental baseline scenario as detailed in Section III
and the proposed mining activity described in Section II, it is attempted to
assess the likely impact and its extent on various environmental parameters
and likely mitigation measures to be adopted.
4.1 LAND ENVIRONMENT
The extraction of materials is proposed from the dry riverbed. Mining below the
existing streambed and alteration of channel-bed form and shape may lead to
several impacts such as erosion of channel bed and banks, increase in channel
slope, and change in channel morphology if, the operations are not carried out
systematically. The mining and allied activities involved in river bed mining and
result in creation of temporary haul roads and formation of mined pits inside
and outside the river, etc. affecting the land use pattern.
Anticipated Impacts:
• Undercutting and collapse of river banks.
• Excessive and unscientific riverbed material mining is a threat to bridges,
dams and nearby structures.
• River bank cutting and erosion.
• Upstream erosion as a result of an increase in channel slope and changes in
flow velocity.
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP-CHAPTER–IV Anticipated Environmental Impact
and Mitigation Measure
3/IV
• Downstream erosion due to increased carrying capacity of the stream.
Mitigation measures:
• Mine lease area has been proposed leaving a safety distance of 1/4th of the
width of the river from the bank inwards which will protect the banks.
• In this activity, the work is proposed to be done in a semi mechanized way
which will avoid adverse effects associated with heavy machinery and their
functioning.
• The mining is planned in non monsoon seasons only so that the excavated area
will be replenished naturally during the subsequent rainy season.
• Restoration of bank will be ensured at the end of mine closure every year.
• Grasses and bushes which have fibrous roots at the first instance are proposed
to grown along the banks which enhances the binding properties of the soil.
Hence, protecting the banks. The systematic and scientific removal of minerals
will not cause bed degradation.
4.2 WATER ENVIRONMENT
Mining has a direct impact on the physico-chemical habitat characteristics.
These characteristics include in stream roughness elements, depth, velocity,
turbidity, sediment transport and stream discharge. Altering these habitat
characteristics can have deleterious impacts on both in-stream biota and
associated riparian habitat.
The detrimental effects, if any, to biota resulting from bed material in case of
river bed mining are caused by following:
i. alteration of flow patterns resulting from modification of the river bed
ii. an excess of suspended sediment
iii. Damage to riparian vegetation and in-stream habitat
The disturbance activities can also disrupt the ecological diversity in many
ways.
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP-CHAPTER–IV Anticipated Environmental Impact
and Mitigation Measure
4/IV
Mitigation measures
Project activity will be carried out in the non-monsoon season. Hence, none of
the project activities affect the water environment directly. In the project, it is
not proposed to divert or truncate any stream in case of river bed mining. No
proposal is envisaged for pumping of water either from the river or tapping the
ground water.
The deposit will be worked from the top surface up to a maximum depth of 3m
below ground level or above the ground water table whichever comes first.
Hence mining will not affect the ground water regime as well.
4.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT
Anticipated Impacts:
Emission of fugitive dust is envisaged due to:
i. Mining Activities includes excavation and lifting of minerals. The whole
process will be done in a semi-mechanized manner. Therefore the dust
generated is likely to be insignificant as compared to mining processes
involving drilling, blasting, mechanized loading etc.
ii. Transportation of minerals will be done by road using trucks. Fugitive dust
emission is expected from the transportation of trucks on the haul roads.
Evaluation of fugitive dust emission has been done by using line source
model as given below:
Air Modeling
A detailed study on emission sources and quantification of pollutant
concentration by means of dispersion modeling is required to access the
environmental impact of a mine. On the basis of the predicted increments to air
pollutant concentrations, an effective mitigation and environmental plan can be
devised for sensitive areas. In case of river bed sand, stone & bajri mining, as
there is no blasting and drilling activities, the impacts may only be caused by
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP-CHAPTER–IV Anticipated Environmental Impact
and Mitigation Measure
5/IV
material handling and transportation activities. The material is mostly wet, and
therefore effect is minimal.
FUGITIVE DUST- MODELING
Air quality modeling was done using line source model as published by USEPA
“Emission Factor Documentation for AP-42”, in section 13.2.2, for
transportation though unpaved roads. Emission factors to be used in Line
source dispersion equation is adopted from formula as given below:
E=k * (s/12)a * (W/3)b /(M/0.2c
Constant
) …………………………(1)
Where
E = Emission Rate (lb/VMT)
s = Surface material Silt Content (%) = 10%
W=Mean Vehicle Weight (tonnes) = 25 tonnes
M= Surface material moisture content (%) = 2.5%
K, a, b & c are empirical constants with values given as below:
PM10 k 2.6 a 0.8 b 0.4 c 0.3
Thus for vehicles of 25 tonners, the Emission Rate using equation (1) is:
E = 1.29516 lb/VMT
This gives E = 0.001725 g/s/m
Concentration of the fugitive dust was calculated using the formula given in
“Workbook of Dispersion Modeling” by Turner. The Concentration of the
fugitive Dust is given below:

E = Emission Rate = 0.001725 g/s/m
υ = Wind Speed = 5.0 m/s
h = 0 m
Modeling was done for an infinite line source assuming unpaved road. For
conservative calculation wind was assumed to blow at a velocity of 5 m/s
perpendicular to the road. The results for 24 hourly concentration values are
given in the Fig.:
It is observed that the ground level concentration (GLC) decreases from 22.76
µg/m3 at 25 m to 2.14 µg/m3 at 500 m from the centre line of the road. These
values have been predicted for a dry unpaved road in an uncontrolled scenario.

• Water sprinkling will be done on the haul roads twice in a day. This will
reduce dust emission further by 74% (Ref. Haul road dust control by WR REED & JA
Organiscak).
in a controlled scenario i.e. through water sprinkling.
Mitigation measures
The only source of dust or air pollution is road transport network of the trucks.
The mitigation measures like the following will be resorted:
• Speed limits will be enforced to reduce airborne fugitive dust from vehicular
traffic.
• Spillage from the trucks will be prevented by covering tarpaulin over the
trucks.
• Deploying PUC certified vehicles to reduce their emissions.
• Proper tuning of vehicles to keep the gas emissions under check.
• Monitoring to ensure compliance with emission limits would be carried out
during operation.
4.4 NOISE
As mining activity is Semi Mechanized in nature. The anticipated impact is due
to the operation of machinery and also due to movement of vehicles deployed
for transportation of minerals.
Anticipated Impacts:
• Mental disturbance, stress & impaired hearing.
• Proper maintenance, oiling and greasing of machines at regular intervals
will be done to reduce the generation of noise.
• Decrease in speech reception & communication.
• Distraction and diminished concentration affecting job performance
efficiency

• Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) like earmuffs/earplugs will be
provided to all operators and employees working near mining machineries or
at higher noise zone.
The noise level in the working environment are compared with the standards
prescribed by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA-USA)
which has been adopted and enforced by the Govt. of India through model
rules framed under Factories Act, 1980 and CPCB 2000 norms. The summary
of the permissible exposures in cases of continuous noise as per above rules is

YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP-CHAPTER–IV Anticipated Environmental Impact
and Mitigation Measure
9/IV
a. Mitigation measures
The following measures have been envisaged to reduce the impact from the
transportation of minerals:
i. The vehicles will be maintained in good running condition so that noise
will be reduced to minimum possible level.
ii. In addition, truck drivers will be instructed to make minimum use of
horns in the village area and sensitive zones.
iii. Awareness will be imparted to the workers about the permissible noise
levels & maximum exposure to those levels
4.5 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
Mining which leads to the removal of channel substrate, re-suspension of
streambed sediment and stockpiling on the streambed, will have ecological
impacts. These impacts may have an effect on the direct loss of stream reserve
habitat, disturbances of species attached to streambed deposits, reduced light
penetration, reduced primary production, and reduced feeding opportunities.
The area around the mine lease area is mostly river bed and its paleochannels,
no agriculture activity is going on at-least within 1km from the mine site.
Therefore no significant impact on the agriculture around the project site is
expected.
Sand mining generates additional traffic, which negatively impairs the
environment.
Anticipated Impacts:
• Excessive and unscientific riverbed sand mining results in the destruction
of aquatic and riparian habitat through large changes in the channel
morphology.
• Access roads crossing the riparian areas will have impact on the species
disturbing the ecosystem.
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP-CHAPTER–IV Anticipated Environmental Impact
and Mitigation Measure
10/IV
• Mining may drive away the wild life from their habitat, and significantly
affect wildlife and nearby residents.
• Diminution of the quality and quantity of habitat essential for aquatic and
riparian species.
• Reduction in the yield of agriculture due to deposition of dust on the leaves,
etc. of the crops.
• Fragmentation of wildlife habitat and blocking of migratory paths/corridors.
Isolation may lead to local decline of species, or genetic.
• Mining on the streambed, braided flow or subsurface inter-sand flow may
hinder the movement of fishes between pools.
Mitigation measures
As the proposed mining will be carried out in a scientific manner, not much
significant impact is anticipated, however, the following mitigation measures
will be taken to further minimize it:
1. No mining will be carried out during the monsoon season to minimize
impact on aquatic life which is mainly breeding season for many of the
species.
2. As the mining site has no vegetation, no clearance of vegetation will be done.
3. Prior to closure of mining operations / during the rainy season the eroded
bank will be restored / reclaimed to minimize negative impacts on aquatic
habitats.
4. Haul roads will be sprinkled with water which would reduce the dust
emission, thus avoiding damage to the crops.
5. Mining will be carried out on the dry part of the lease area to avoid
disturbance to the aquatic habitat and movement of fish species.
6. No discard of food, polythene waste etc will be allowed in the lease area
which would distract/attract the wildlife.
7. No night time mining will be allowed which may catch the attention of wild
life due to sound and light.

8. Workers will be made aware of the importance o the wildlife and signage will
be displayed at the sensitive areas to caution the workers & other passerby.
9. Access roads will not encroach into the riparian zones and if any riparian
vegetation cleared off for the mining activity will be restored at the end of
closure of mine.
4.6 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
Traffic analysis is carried out by understanding the existing carrying capacity
of the roads near to the project site and the connecting main roads in the area.
Depending on the tonnes extracted, the number of trucks that will be added to
the present scenario will be compared to the carrying capacity.

Results
As to prevent the huge traffic on a single highway i.e. NH-73A, the
transportation route have been diverted to another road as well named as
Khizrabad Road, to minimize the effect.
From the traffic study it is observed that the level of services will go down just
from “B” from “A” i.e. excellent to very good due to additional traffic load for
National Highway.
Therefore, the additional load on the carrying capacity of the concerned roads
is not likely to have any adverse affect. However for smooth movement of traffic
management has been proposed as given below.
Traffic Management:
1. Roads will be repaired regularly and maintained in good conditions.
2. A supervisor will be appointed to regulate the traffic movement near the site.
3. Speed breakers will be constructed accident prone areas to calm the traffic
and its speed.
4. Signage will be erected at the sensitive & precarious places to caution or
provide information to road users.
5. Speed limit will be enforced.
6. Pass ways will be made to ensure easy movement of trucks on the narrow
roads.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
PROGRAMME
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –V: Environmental Monitoring Programme
2/V
5.0 INTRODUCTION
Regular monitoring of the various environmental parameters is necessary to
evaluate the effectiveness of the management programme so that the
necessary corrective measures can be taken in case there are some
drawbacks in the proposed programme. Since environmental quality
parameters at work zone and surrounding areas are important for
maintaining sound operating practices of the project in conformity with
environmental regulations, the post project monitoring work forms part of
Environmental Monitoring Program.
Environmental Monitoring Program will be implemented once the project
activity commences. Environmental monitoring program includes (i)
environmental surveillance, (ii) analysis & interpretation of data, (iii)
preparation of reports to support environmental management system and (iv)
organizational set up responsible for the implementation of the programme.
5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING PROCEDURE
Monitoring shall confirm that commitments are being met. This may take the
form of direct measurement and recording of quantitative information, such
as amounts and concentrations of discharges and wastes, for measurement
against corporate or statutory standards, consent limits or targets. It may
also require measurement of ambient environmental quality in the vicinity of
a site using ecological/biological, physical and chemical indicators.
Monitoring may include socio-economic interaction, through local liaison
activities or even assessment of complaints.
The preventive approach to environment management may also require
monitoring of process inputs, for example, type and method used, resource
consumption, equipment and pollution control performance etc.
The key aims of environment monitoring are:
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –V: Environmental Monitoring Programme
3/V
1. To ensure that results/conditions are as forecast during the planning
stage, and where they are not, to pinpoint the cause and implement
action to remedy the situation.
2. To verify the evaluations made during the planning process, in particular
with risk and impact assessments and standard & target setting and to
measure operational and process efficiency.
3. Monitoring will also be required to meet compliance with statutory and
corporate requirements.
4. Finally, monitoring results provide the basis for auditing i.e. to identify
unexpected changes.
5.2 MONITORING METHODOLOGIES AND PARAMETERS Air Quality Monitoring
Air Quality monitoring is essential for evaluation of the effectiveness of abatement programmes and to develop appropriate control measures. Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2
Parameters
) will be monitored at the workplace i.e. core zone. The methodology proposed for is shown below:

Water Quality monitoring
Water quality monitoring involves periodical assessment of quality of surface
water and the ground water near the mining project.
• Surface water samples will be analyzed for all the parameters as per
EPA, 1986
• Ground water samples will be analyzed for all the parameters as per
IS-10500.
Soil Quality monitoring The soil quality monitoring is carried out to assess the soil characteristic.
The soil quality will be analyzed as per CPCB norms.
Noise Level Monitoring
Noise level monitoring will be done for achieving the following objectives:
a) To compare sound levels with the values specified in noise regulations
b) To determine the need and extent of noise control of various noise
generating sources
Noise level monitoring will be done at the work zone to assess the
occupational noise exposure levels. Noise levels will also be monitored at the
noise generating sources like mineral handling arrangements, vehicle
movements and also at the nearest village for studying the impact due to
higher noise levels for taking necessary control measures at the source.
Socio-economic Survey
Socio economic condition will be monitored to assess the demographic
particulars of the area including the impacts on the social & economical
condition on the residents nearby.
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –V: Environmental Monitoring Programme

Plantation monitoring programme
Plantation monitoring will be done to ensure survival & growth rate of
plantations.
5.3 MONITORING SCHEDULE
The schedule has been shown below for the parameters proposed for
monitoring.
S.No. Description of Parameters Schedule of Monitoring
1 Air Quality
24 hourly samples twice a week in each season except monsoon
2 Water Quality (Surface & Groundwater)

5 Socio-economic Condition Once in 3 years
6 Plantation monitoring Once in a season
5.4 MONITORING SCHEDULE - IMPLEMENTATION
An implementation programme has been prepared as it serves no purpose if
it is not implemented in letter and spirit.
The major attributes of environment are not confined to the mining site
alone. Implementation of proposed control measures and monitoring
programme has an implication on the surrounding area as well as for the
region. Therefore, mine management should strengthen the existing control
measures as elaborated earlier in this report and monitor the efficacy of the
control measures implemented within the mining area relating to the
following specific areas:
YNR Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –V: Environmental Monitoring Programme
6/V
a) Collection of air and water samples at strategic locations with frequency
suggested and by analyzing thereof. If the parameters exceed the
permissible tolerance limits, corrective regulation measure will be taken.
b) Collection of soil samples at strategic locations once every two years and
analysis thereof with regard to deleterious constituents, if any.
c) Measurement of water level fluctuations in the nearby ponds, dug wells
and bore wells and to assess if mining has got any impact on it or not.
d) Measurement of noise levels at mine site, stationary and mobile sources,
and adjacent villages will be done twice a year for first two years and
thereafter once a year.
e) Post plantation, the area will be regularly monitored in every season for
evaluation of success rate. For selection of plant species local people
should also be involved.
An Environmental Management Cell (EMC) is envisaged which will be
responsible for monitoring EMP and its implementation. EMC members
should meet periodically to assess the progress and analyze the data
collected during the month.
5.5 REPORTING SCHEDULES OF THE MONITORING DATA
It is proposed that voluntary reporting of environmental performance with
reference to the EMP should be undertaken. The environmental monitoring
cell shall co-ordinate all monitoring programmes at site to furnish the data
to the State regulatory agencies regularly in respect of the stipulated prior
environmental clearance terms and conditions.
The proponent shall prominently advertise in the newspapers indicating that
the project has been accorded environmental clearance and also the details
of website where it is displayed.

6.1 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT
METHODOLOGY
RISK is to expose someone or something to danger, harm or loss. The
different steps of risk assessment procedure are as given below:
Step I: Hazard Identification
The purpose of hazard identification is to identify and develop a list of
hazards for each job in the organization that are reasonably likely to expose
people to injury, illness or disease if not effectively controlled. Workers can
then be informed of these hazards and controls put in place to protect
workers prior to them being exposed to the actual hazard.
Step II: Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is the process used to determine the likelihood that people
exposed to injury, illness or disease in the workplace arising from any
situation identified during the hazard identification process prior to
consideration or implementation of control measures.
Risk occurs when a person is exposed to a hazard. Risk is the likelihood
that exposure to a hazard will lead to injury or health issues. It is a
measure of probability and potential severity of harm or loss.
Step III: Risk Control
Risk control is the process used to identify, develop, implement and
continually review all practicable measures for eliminating or reducing
the likelihood of an injury, illness or diseases in the workplace.
Step IV: Implementation of risk controls
All hazards that have been assessed should be dealt in order of priority in
YNR Unit –1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –VI: Additional Studies
5/VI
one or more of the following hierarchy of controls
The most effective methods of control are:
i. Elimination of hazards
ii. Substitute something safer
iii. Use engineering/design controls
iv. Use administrative controls such as safe work procedures
v. Protect the workers i.e. by ensuring competence through supervision and
training, etc.
Each measure must have a designated person assigned for the
implementation of controls. This ensures that all required safety measures
will be completed.
Step V: Monitor and Review
Hazard identification, risk assessment and control are an on-going
process. Therefore regularly review the effectiveness of your hazard
assessment and control measures. Make sure that you undertake a
hazard and risk assessment when there is change to the workplace
including when work systems, tools, machinery or equipment changes.
Provide additional supervision when the new employees with reduced skill
levels or knowledge are introduced to the workplace.
A) RISK ANALYSIS
The risk assessment portion of the process involves three levels of site
evaluation:
a) Initial Site Evaluation,
b) Detailed Site Evaluation,
c) Priority Site Investigations and Recommendations.
The risk assessment criteria used for all levels of site evaluation take into
account two basic factors:
• The existing site conditions
• The level of the travelling public's exposure to those conditions.
The Initial Site Evaluation and Detailed Site Evaluation both apply
weighted criteria to the existing information and information obtained from
one site visit. The Initial Site Evaluation subdivides the initial inventory
YNR Unit –1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –VI: Additional Studies
6/VI
listing of sites into 5 risk assessment site groups. The Detailed Site
Evaluation risk assessment is then performed on each of the three highest
risk site groups in order of the group priority level of risk. The result of
the Detailed Site Evaluation process is a prioritized listing of the sites
within each of the three highest risk site groups.
Risk analysis is done for:
• Forecasting any unwanted situation
• Estimating damage potential of such situation
• Decision making to control such situation
• Evaluating effectiveness of control measures

6.2 RISK ASSESSMENT
YNR Unit –1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –VI: Additional Studies
8/VI
There are various factors, which can create unsafe working
conditions/hazards in mining of minor minerals from river bed.
The key risk (hazard x probability) event rating
The Risk rating of such hazards is as follows:
associated with sand bed
mining and to assess its consequences of such events occurring and the
likelihood based on above Table-2 are as:-
6.2.1 INUNDATION/FLOODING
The risk rating assigned to this activity is assigned as ‘4’ i.e., it is possible
and will have catastrophic with major consequences, if work started
without assessment of the river bed condition especially during monsoon
season. Inundation or flooding is expected and beneficial for these mines
as during this time only the mineral reserve gets replenished.
Measures to prevent consequences of Inundation/Flooding
Inundation of flooding is expected and beneficial for these mines as
during this time only the mineral reserve gets replenished.
1. During monsoon months and heavy rains the mining operations are
ceased.
2. There shall be mechanism/warning system of heavy rains and
discharges from the upstream dams at the site by interlinking it with
information received from District Authorities.
6.2.2 Quick Sand Condition
The risk rating assigned to this activity is assigned as ‘12’ i.e., it is an
unlikely event with major consequences as frequency of this risk is less
likely to occur.
Two things may create the conditions to form quicksand. Underground
water may seep-up and saturate the sand, thereby reducing the friction
between the sand grains and giving the sand a liquid nature. Or, sand or
another soil may be sifted by the force of an earthquake so that friction is
lessened and the earth becomes unsteady.
YNR Unit –1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –VI: Additional Studies
9/VI
This creates danger condition to the trucks plying near the river bed and
banks for transportation of minerals.
Measures to Prevent Quick Sand Condition
1. The only way to avoid quick sand condition is by avoiding mineral
lifting below water table.
2. Mining will be done in layers rather than going for maximum depth at
one time.
6.2.3 ACCIDENT DUE TO VEHICULAR MOVEMENT
The risk rating assigned to this activity is assigned as ‘13’ i.e., it is
possible event with moderate consequences as frequency of this operation
is more but the predicted/assumed intensity is less like minor cuts,
bodily injury. The possibilities of road accidents are due to reckless or
untrained driver or overloading of trucks or in case pathway is not
compacted suitably, etc.
Measures to Prevent Accidents during Transportation
1. All transportation within the main working should be carried out
directly under the supervision and control of the management.
2. The Vehicles will be maintained/ repaired and checked thoroughly by
the competent person.
3. A statutory provision of constant education, training etc. will go a
long way in reducing the incidents of such accidents.
4. Overloading will not be permitted and will be covered with tarpaulin.
5. The maximum permissible speed limit will be ensured.
6. The truck drivers will have valid driving license.
6.2.4 DROWNING
The risk rating assigned to this activity is assigned as ‘16’ i.e., it is a rare
accident but will have major consequences, if occurred. This may occur
due to flash floods etc due to which the workers at the site may get
seriously injured or drowned.
YNR Unit –1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –VI: Additional Studies
10/VI
Measure to Prevent Drowning
1. The mining will be done under strict supervision and only in the dry
part of the river.
2. Mining will be completely stopped in monsoon season to avoid such
accidents.
3. Deep water areas will be identified and ‘No Go Zones’ will be clearly
marked and made aware to the mine workers.
6.2.5 ACCIDENT DURING MATERIAL HANDLING & LOADING
The risk rating assigned to this activity is assigned as ‘18’ i.e. it is possible
event with minor consequences”, as frequency of this operation is more
but the predicted/assumed intensity is less like minor cuts, abrasion, etc.
may be due to river bank collapse, over thrown boulders/pebbles, injuries
due to carelessness use of hand tools, etc.
Measures to Prevent Accidents during material handling & loading
1. The truck should be brought to a lower level so that the loading
operation suits to the ergonomic condition of the workers.
2. The loading should be done from one side of the truck only to avoid
over throw of materials.
3. The workers should be provided with gloves and safety shoes during
loading.
All the activities will be done under strict supervision/control to avoid
anticipated accidents so that the risk is reduced to a level considered As
Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) conditions which are
DISASTERS & ITS MANAGEMENT
6.3.1 Anticipated Disasters
1. Floods: The area is not prone to floods. However care will be taken
to protect the bank and avoid flooding.
Precautionary measures will be taken to avoid the effects on the
workers at the site if the disaster occurs.
YNR Unit –1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –VI: Additional Studies
11/VI
2. Earth Quake: The lease area falls in seismic zone IV which is prone
to earthquakes. However there are no built in structures, which
could get affected by earthquake.
6.3.2 Disaster Management
This should deal with action plan for high risk accidents subsidence,
flood, inundation in underground mines, fire, seismic activities, tailing
dam failures etc. and emergency plan proposed for quick evacuation,
ameliorative measures to be taken etc. The capability of lessee to meet
such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local
authorities should be described.
The shallow depth of activities in river bed mining will not involve any
high risk accident due to side falls/collapse.
The complete mining operation will be carried out under the
Management and control of experienced and qualified Mines Manager

12/VI
having Certificate of Competency to manage the mines granted by
DGMS.
All the provisions of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules
1955, RMMCR 1986 and other laws applicable to mine will strictly be
complied with.
During heavy rainfall the mining activities will be closed.
All persons in supervisory capacity will be provided with proper
communication facilities.
Workers will be provided with FIRST AID facility which will always
kept at the site.
A person will be deputed to be in continuous touch with District/local
authority level office, for the timely dissemination of message like
releasing of water from dam (Hatnikund Barrage), heavy rainfall etc.
as received from IMD and take precautionary action to prevent any
consequential disaster.
“Disaster Warning System” as developed will be strictly implemented.
Identification of nearby hospitals with route & contact number for
emergency assistance.
Evacuation plan for the workers at site including contract labours will
be developed in nearby shelters.
“Emergency Helpline Number” will be displayed at all levels.
6.4 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE PROJECT & SAFETY
MEASURES
Impact on Demographic Composition
The proposed project will hardly make any difference in the demographic
composition of the study area as the additional employment it envisages
to create will be met locally to the maximum extent. Hence, the chances of
in-migration of people from outside the study area are remote.
Accordingly, there will be no variation in the total population of the study
area including that of sex ratio, when the mine starts operating.
YNR Unit –1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –VI: Additional Studies
13/VI
Employment Opportunities
The proposed Project will provide employment to the local people. It has
estimated that 65 people will get direct employment in this mining project.
It is a positive impact of the project since it is providing employment
opportunities to the local people.
Increased Supply of Sand in the Market
With the commencement of the proposed mining project the supply of
sand will increase and the gap between demand & supply will decrease to
some extent, if not fully.
Impact on Agriculture
There will be no negative impact on agriculture as no cultivation is taking
place on the proposed mining area. Since, scientific mining will be
adopted in the proposed mining project the area will be free from annual
floods, which destroy standing crops and land & property. This is a
positive impact of the proposed mining project.
Impact on Industrial Activities
Owing to the mining activities, the study area may witness industrial
uprising in the area. It is expected that few crushing unit will come up in
the area to convert the boulders into smaller particles viz. Bajri and sand.
Also expected are few glass manufacturing and tyre retreading units in
the neighborhoods.
Impact on Road Development
Movement of tractors-trolleys and other vehicles to and fro the mining site
is expected to increase substantially, when mining will start. The existing
roads connecting the quarry with the national and state highways are
mostly narrow mud roads. There will be mud slide and traffic bottle neck
if these roads are not widened and their conditions are not improved.
Hence, there is good scope for road development in the mining area.
Further, there are risks of accidents during loading of extracted minerals
YNR Unit –1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –VI: Additional Studies
14/VI
into tractors-trolleys and transportation to markets for sells. However,
accidents can be avoided by taking due care and precautions.
Income to Government
The proposed mining activity will benefit the State in the form of royalty,
dead rent, fees and earnings from taxes.
Impact on Law & Order
As most of the workers to be employed in the proposed mining project are
local residents no law & order problem is envisaged. It is expected that
the workers will attend to their duties from their residence and return to
their homes after the day’s work. There would have been law & order
problem if the workers were migrants and lived in shanties closed to the
mining area. However, to meet any untoward incident one police post may
be set up closed to the mining site.
Impact on Health
There are no chances of occurring diseases, due to manual mining of
sand. However, sand-using activities such as sand blasting require
precautions since it create respiratory problems among mine workers.
Excessive inhalation of sand is a serious health concern. To avoid
respiratory problem from sand necessary protection should be taken.
Few safety measures are outlined below:
a) Safe Working Environment: The project proponent shall ensure
health and safety of all the employees at work. Efforts will be made to
provide and maintain a safe work environment and ensure that the
machinery and equipment in use is safe for employees. Further, it will
be ensured that working arrangements are not hazardous to
employees.
b) Provision of First Aid: The first aid treatment reflects the hazards
associated with the mining activities. The first-aiders will be well
trained in handling patients working in the above Mining Project.
YNR Unit –1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –VI: Additional Studies
15/VI
c) Regular Health Examination: For all mine workers regular health
examination will be made compulsory. It will cover treatment of serious
diseases also.
d) No work for Temporal Disabilities: The workers having temporary
disability will be asked to stop doing the job till he/she recovers from
disabilities.
e) Health Education: Adequate health education and information related
to the job will be provided to the workers.
f) Tie-up with the Nearest Hospital for Medical Assistance: To meet
the medical needs of the mine workers tie-up with nearest hospitals
will be made. Efforts will be made to reserve few beds in the above
hospitals for the workers of the mining project. This will ensure timely
medical aid to the affected persons.
g) Supply of Mask and Gloves: The workers in the Project are subject to
respiratory diseases. For protection from dust it will be made
compulsory for all workers to wear masks and gloves, while working in
the mine.
h) Administration of Anti-venom Injections: Provision of Anti-venom
therapy will be made available for administration to the workers in
case of snake, spider and insect bites, while working in the mine.
i) Special Telephone Number: A special telephone number will be made
available to the workers in case of emergency so that they can dial the
same for–medical assistances.
j) Special Group Insurance Scheme: All the mine workers will be
covered under a Group Insurance Scheme of LIC or any other
Insurance company.
CONCLUSION
The commissioning of the Project will provide employment to local people
who are in search of the same. It is expected that prospective
entrepreneurs will venture to set up industrial units in the vicinity in the
near future making the area a mixed society, dependent on industry,
YNR Unit –1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP CHAPTER –VI: Additional Studies
16/VI
trade and business. With the implementation of the project the
occupational pattern of the people in the area will change making more
people engaged in mining, industrial and business activities rather in
agriculture. Thus there will be a gradual shifting of population from
agriculture to mining and industry. The study area is still lacking in
health and educational facilities. It is expected that same will improve to a
great extent with opening of the project and associated industrial &
business activities.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
PLAN
Yamuna Nagar Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Section - VIII EMP
2/VIII
8.0 INTRODUCTION
To mitigate the adverse impact which is likely to be caused due to the mining
operation and overall scientific development of local habitat, Environmental
Management Plan (EMP) has been formulated and integrated with the mine
planning. The details of the anticipated impacts and mitigative measures
have been discussed in Section IV of this report, based on the results of
present environmental conditions and environmental impact assessment.
The EMP has therefore been made considering implementation and
monitoring of environmental protection measures during and after mining
operations.
The mitigation measures which reduce the impact have already been
identified earlier in this report in section IV. To minimize the adverse impact,
certain additional EMP measures are enumerated below for implementation.
8.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CELL (EMC)
It is imperative to establish an effective organization to implement, maintain,
monitor and control the environmental management system. A separate
Environmental Management Cell (EMC) will be formed to look after the
environment related matter of the mine. The structure of EMC is as follows:
Mines Manager
Manager (Environment)
Lab Incharge Environmental Engineer
Yamuna Nagar Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Section - VIII EMP
3/VIII
The EMC will perform the following activities:
• EMC will oversee that environmental control measures are implemented
as per the plan.
• EMC will ensure ambient Field monitoring like air monitoring,
meteorological monitoring and noise monitoring in coordination with
outside agencies.
• Coordinating the environment related activities within the organization as well as with outside agencies.
• Reporting the status report to the statutory authorities.
• Systematically document and record keeping w.r.t. environmental issues.
• Plantation and their maintenance
• Collection statistics of health of workers and population of surrounding villages.
• Environmental compliance to the regulatory authorities.
• Communication with the concerned department on the environmental issue.
• Monitoring the progress of implementation of environmental management programme.
8.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) AND
IMPLEMEMNTATION
Environmental Management Plan involves functions that determines the
objectives, adoption of appropriate mitigation measures, protection of
ecosystems, enhancement of the quality of life for those affected, and
minimization of environmental costs (Barrow, 1999).
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been formulated with an
objective to mitigate the adverse impacts of any proposed project. This
Yamuna Nagar Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Section - VIII EMP
4/VIII
includes an environmental policy on protection of environment and public
safety.
• Extraction will be done from the dry portion of river bed leaving
safety zone or barrier zone from shore of total of 1/4th of the width
of the river from the banks for bank as well as 50m from water line
of stream still flowing in dry season.
• Mining will be done in scientific and systematic manner.
• Mining will be confined within central 3/4th width of the river. This will
prevent collapse of bank and erosion.
1. The maximum working depth will remain above ground water table of the area:
Excavation above the water table will be done i.e. up to a maximum depth of
3m (or above ground water table, whichever comes first) from the surface
which will provide a depression that would get filled in with sediments
gradually in the monsoons.
2. Provide health facilities to the workers & surrounding people in
the impact area to reduce the health impacts: • Provision of dust filters / mask to workers working at dust prone and
affected areas.
• Conducting periodical medical checkup of all workers for occupation
related health problems.
• Awareness program for workers to make them aware of way of working
and various precautions to be taken while at work.
3. Ensuring wildlife protection & arranging awareness campaigns for
the same.
• No wildlife will be disturbed or chased away
Yamuna Nagar Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Section - VIII EMP
5/VIII
• To avoid disturbance to the movement of the wild animals through the
transport route near the project area, sign boards will be placed detailing
the dangers caused and the sensitive locations.
4. Minimize activities that release fine sediment to the river:
No washing, crushing, screening, stockpiling, or plant operations will be
done at or near the streams. These and similar activities have the potential
to release fine sediments into the stream, making aquatic habitat conditions
harmful to local aquatic species.
5. Check on traffic load due to transportation & maintenance of
evacuation route:
• To the extent possible, evacuation route will not be through residential
areas so as to reduce the effect of dust emission and noise pollution from
vehicular movement.
• Alternate evacuation route by using the existing roads will be proposed to
avoid traffic congestion and further acquisition of land from farmers.
• A Monitoring Committee including Local Panchayat member may be
established to control traffic on evacuation route.
6. Effective mitigation measures will be adopted to minimize
disturbance during transportation & handling of minerals:
• The haul road will be kept wide, leveled, compacted and water will be
sprayed regularly to suppress fugitive dust.
• Evacuation routes will be repaired & maintained regularly.
• Utmost care will be taken to prevent spillage of minerals from the trucks
by checking overloading and covering it by tarpaulin sheets
• It will be ensured that all transportation vehicles will carry a valid PUC
certificate.
Yamuna Nagar Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Section - VIII EMP
6/VIII
7. Establishment of reclamation program with plantation of
local/native & fast growing species:
• Plantation will be done along the road sides / near civic amenities in
consultation with the local authority/ Govt. bodies.
• It has also been proposed to plant along the river banks with plant
species which will hold the soil and check on erosion of the banks in
consultation with the local authority/ Govt. bodies.
• For plantation purpose, native/local plant species are proposed.
8. Establishment of restoration plan during the closure of mine at the
onset of monsoon season:
• Restoration of banks will be done.
• Ramps & temporary rest shelters will be removed prior to the closure of
mine.
• Restructuring/reconstruction of the natural bunds if damaged.
• Maintenance of flood embankments and spurs which will prevent erosion
of banks during monsoon.
9. Establishment of effective Disaster Management Plan to take
timely precautionary measures to avoid effects of impending
disasters:
Though mining will not be done during monsoon season for the proposed
project, yet disaster may be caused due to floods, earth quake etc.
• A person will be deputed to be in continuous touch with District/local
authority level office, for the timely dissemination of message like
releasing of water from dam (Hathnikund Barrage), heavy rainfall etc. as
received from IMD and take precautionary action to prevent any
consequential disaster.
• All the provision of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules 1955,
RMMCR 1986 and other laws applicable to mine will strictly be complied
with.
Yamuna Nagar Unit – 1 Boulder, Gravel and Sand Mine EIA/EMP Section - VIII EMP
7/VIII
• “Disaster Warning System” will be developed in consultation with the
local authority/ Govt. bodies and will be strictly implemented.
• Identification of nearby hospitals with route & contact number for
emergency assistance.
• Evacuation plan for the workers at site including contract labours will be
developed in nearby shelters.
• “Emergency Helpline Number” will be displayed at all levels.
10. Establishment of effective Monitoring Program monitored by
Environment Management Cell:
A monitoring program will be provided illustrating any impacts to river
stability, riparian vegetation, ground & surface water, air, noise, soil quality
and post project sedimentation studies by expert bodies. Monitoring
schedule and budget allocation has been detailed Section-V.
The monitoring program will also assess & scrutinize the EMP proposed & its
implementation by the Environmental Management Cell (EMC).
Other precautionary measures like no cooking, no uprooting or chopping of
plants/trees, no throwing of wastes into the stream will also be checked
upon by the EMC.
8.4 BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION
Annual budget for EMC is very essential for successful implementation of
EMP. The fund allocated will not be diverted for any other purposes and the
top management will be responsible for this.
The following provisions are to be taken for improving, controlling and
monitoring of environmental protection measures:

Production (Extractable Quantum):
However considering the factors such as geological disturbances, volume that
cannot be mined due to flow of water and also considering the safety factor,
approximately 10,15,400 tonnes/annum has been considered to as production
or the extractable quantity from the mineable area for grant of Environmental
clearance. The minerals excavated from the river bed material will be
replenished gradually during the monsoon season every year.
Water Supply
Water will be provided to workers for drinking & domestic purpose. Water will
also be required for dust suppression. A total of 4.00 KLD water will be
required for the proposed project.
Temporary Rest Shelter:
Temporary rest shelters will be provided for the workers near to the sites for
rest. In addition, one small First aid room at each sub block with first aid kit
and sufficient stock of material/medicines needed for first aid will be provided
as per requirements. Sanitation facility i.e. septic tank or community toilet

BASE LINE DATA
Attribute Baseline status Ambient Air Quality
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring reveals that the minimum & maximum concentrations of PM10 amongst all the 6 AQ monitoring stations were found to be 68.5 µg / m3 at AQ6 and 89.4 µg/m3 at AQ5, respectively. The prescribed CPCB limit of 100µg/m3 for industrial, residential, rural and other areas has never surpassed at any station. As far as the gaseous pollutants SO2 and NO2 are concerned, the prescribed CPCB limit of 80µg/m3 for industrial, residential, rural and other areas has never surpassed at any station.
Noise Levels
The results of the monitoring program indicated that both the daytime and night time levels of noise were well within the prescribed limits of NAAQS, at all the four locations monitored.
Water Quality
The ground water from all sources remains suitable for drinking purposes as all the constituents are within the limits prescribed by drinking water standards promulgated by IS: 10500.
From surface water analysis results it is evident that most of the parameters of the samples comply with ‘Category C’ standards of CPCB, indicating drinking water source after conventional treatment and disinfection.
Soil Quality
Samples collected from identified locations indicate the soil is sandy clay loam type and the pH value ranging from 7.68 to 8.12 which shows that the soil is slightly alkaline in nature.
Ecology and Biodiversity
Kalesar Wildlife Sanctuary at a distance of 2.5 km in North Direction. There are few reserved and protected forests in the study area.

Detailed Disaster Management Plan
STATE PROFILE
1.1 General Haryana is a State in the northwest of India and was carved out of the Indian State of Punjab on
1st November 1966. With capital at Chandigarh which is administered as a Union Territory, this
north Indian land locked state is located between 27º 39' and 30º 35’N latitude and between
74º27' and 77º36' E longitude with just 1.37% of the total geographical area and less than 2% of
India’s population. Almost 1/3 of the total area of the state falls in the National Capital Region.
Haryana is an agrarian state whereas 85% of its area is under cultivation, engaging about 78% of
its population in agriculture. Haryana has carved a place of distinction for itself during the past
three decades, whether it is agriculture or industry, canal irrigation or rural electrification.
Haryana is among the most prosperous states in India, having one of the highest per capita
incomes in the country.
1.2 Administration The State is divided into four divisions for administrative purposes- Ambala, Rohtak, Gurgaon
and Hissar.Within these four divisions there are 21 districts viz. Ambala, Kurukshetra,
Panchkula, Yamuna Nagar, Faridabad, Palwal, Gurgaon, Mahendragarh, Mewat, Rewari,
Bhiwani, Fatehabad, Hisar, Kaithal, Sirsa, Jhajjar, Karnal, Panipat, Rohtak, Sonipat and Jind.
1.3 Geography Haryana has four main geographical features.
• Shivalik Hills to the north east
• Ghaggar Yamuna Plain forming the largest part of the state
• Semi- desert sandy plain in the south west
• Aravalli hills in the south.

1.4 Socio - Economic indices – Haryana
1.5 Physiographic Characteristics
Haryana as a whole is a plain area except some hills of Shivalik system in the northern and
Aravalli system in the southern parts of the state. For regional divisions, Haryana plain is a part
of the great plain namely Indo Gangetic plain which was formed by the deposition of Alluvium
brought by the Himalaya & Rivers. In this region i.e. Haryana plain three sub divisions have
been delineated.
The eastern Haryana plain Consisting the districts of Panchkula, Ambala, Yamuna Nagar,
Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Karnal, Panipat , Sonipat, Rohtak, Jhajjar & Jind is bordered by low hills
of shiwalik system & Himachal Pradesh in the northeast, Punjab in the west, by the Southern
Haryana plain in the south by western Haryana plain in the west and by Uttar Pradesh across the
Yamuna river and Delhi U.T. in the east. Shivalik tract consists of a broad tabled land, which is
composed of silt, sand, clay and conglomerates ranging in age from the middle Eocene to lower
Pleistocene. The slope is generally from north east to south west in which direction most of the
rivers flow. A large number of rain fed torrents flow down the outer slopes of the Shivalik and
spread much gravels and rebbles in their beds of these rivers and streams, the Yamuna, the
Ghaggar, the Markanda, the Chautang and the Shivalik are the important ones. The region is
Yamunanagar Unit-II Sand Mining Project Disaster Management Plan
divided of any perennial eastern part of the region. The rivers Ghaggar, Markanda, Saraswati and
Yamuna have their flood plains commonly known as khaddar or Bet areas. The soils of these
flood plains are river borne sand, silt.
The Western Haryana Plain makes its limits with Punjab in north, Rajasthan in the west and
southwest, southern Haryana plain in the south and the eastern Haryana plain in the east. It
covers the districts of Sirsa, Fatehabad, Hisar and Bhiwani. The region is different from eastern
Haryana plain & southern Haryana plain because of the presence of number of sand dunes of
varying heights & magnitudes wind erosion is active and water table in deep. The region is also
geographically known as “ Bhiwani Bagar ”. Only Ghaggar River drains the northern part of the
region and its flood plain bifurcate the Sirsa district. The region is important & cotton, grains &
oil seeds.
The Southern Haryana Plain comprising the districts of Mahendergarh, Rewari, Gurgaon and
Faridabad. Delhi is bounded by U.P. in east, by Rajasthan in the south and west and by western
Harayana Plain & eastern Harayana Plain in the north. It differs from the western Haryana Plain
because of the presence of Aravalli off shoots and its slopes towards the north in its western parts
and undulating character of the surface. The region also has dunes of varying size with Aravalli
offshoots in Mahendergarh & Rewari. While in Gurgaon or Faridabad, Aravalli off shoots are
responsible for undulation in the region. Number of small rainy seasonal rivulets carries the
water in Rajasthan in to southern Haryana. They represent the inland drainage. In view of the
small volume of water carried by them, they lack in potentialities for utilization on an extensive
scale. Sahibi valley project over Sahibi River is coming up. Here the litho logical diversity in
alluvial monotony has a strong bearing upon the distributional pattern of land use, cropping
pattern and crop production the undulating sandy plain of the southern Haryana is a scene of
dramatic development which will bring prosperity in the region.

Haryana at a Glance
2. DISASTER RISK PROFILE
Haryana State is vulnerable to a multitude of disasters and is categorized as a multi hazard
prone state. The state experiences various kinds of disasters of recurrent nature which result in
loss of life, livelihood and property (public and private), and disruption of economic activity,
besides causing immense misery and hardship to the affected population. Haryana is vulnerable
to Earthquake, Industrial & Chemical Disaster, Floods, Drought, Accidents, Fire, Health related
Disaster, Hailstorm, Bio Terrorism etc.
2.1 Earthquakes
Haryana falls in the seismic zone IV, III, & II and therefore, the region is vulnerable to
earthquakes. Although, in recent past, no major earthquakes have occurred in Haryana, yet
tremors have been felt whenever there is an earthquake in the Himalayan foot-hills.
Yamunanagar Unit-II Sand Mining Project Disaster Management Plan
The feet remains that the region is not free from potential affecting the region are:-1.The hidden
Moradabad fault
2.The Sohna fault
3.Junction of Aravali and Alluvium near Delhi
4.Mathura fault
5.Delhi Haridwar fault
Earthquakes have occurred during 1820-1988 with their epicenter between latitude 26.00 to
33.00 North and longitude 73.00 to 79.00 East within which the state of Haryana falls are around
125 of magnitude varying between 4.0 – 8 .0 on Richer Scale. In the last decade, towns of
Faridabad and Gurgaon being in proximity of Delhi have grown in the major residential-
industrial towns whereas the town of Panchkula has emerged as a major residential city of the
state. And all of them lie in earthquake zone IV. As a result of this, an unplanned development
which is not corrected and mainstreamed by means of preparedness /prevention/mitigation
measures will pose a greater challenge if an event occurs. The combination of moderate to high
hazard, high vulnerability and high exposure results in high level of disaster risk. It is understood
that a majority of inhabitants in Haryana and sectoral agencies involved in mainstream
development are not aware of the existing studies, hazards, risk and vulnerability and therefore
are not in a position to undertake suitable measures for preparedness and mitigation. In
additionthere is a lack of sharing of information amongst stakeholders and at times the existing
maps are not available for public use.
Yamunanagar Unit-II Sand Mining Project Disaster Management Plan
2.2 Floods
Floods have been a recurrent phenomenon in Haryana from time immemorial. Many part of the
state of Haryana are prone to flooding. The devastating floods hit Haryana many times. In 1977,
1978, 1980, 1983, 1988, 1993 and 1995, 1996 floods occurred in Haryana. Floods have been
causing extensive damage not only to standing crops but also loss of lives and cattle. The floods
in Haryana can occur because of some natural reasons such as its physiographic situation which
makes a depressional saucer shape zone around the Delhi-Rohtak-Hisar-Sirsa axis and it has a
poor natural drainage system and sometimes the heavy precipitation becomes a major
Yamunanagar Unit-II Sand Mining Project Disaster Management Plan
contributing factor in causing flood as such in case of Rohtak flood, 1995. The state receives an
average rainfall of about 650 mm. The average annual rainfall varies from less than 300mm in
the western and south western parts of Sirsa, Hisar and Bhiwani districts along the Rajasthan
border to over 1100mm in the north-eastern Shivalik hilly tracts of Panchkula and Yamunanagar
districts along Himachal Pradesh border The problem of floods is further accentuated by the
existence of human-made barriers like the networks of roads and canals, which obstruct the
natural flow of water and sometimes Drainage systems back up because they cannot cope up
with the volume of water or are blocked by rubbish and garbage. On the other hand
indiscriminate use of water for irrigation and deve lopment of low-lying areas and depressions
has also created problem of drainage congestion and water logging which create a havoc of
flooding. According to assessment of Rashtriya Barh Ayog and as reported by states to the 11th plan
working group, flood prone area in Haryana is 23.50 lakh hectares. In flood manual of
Haryana, there are 102 vulnerable points in Haryana which need special attention during
monsoon.
Yamunanagar Unit-II Sand Mining Project Disaster Management Plan
2.3 Drought
Where some parts of Haryana state is prone to flood, its some parts have been prone to drought
also. According to the October 1994 guidelines, 9 Blocks of Districts Mahendergarh and Rewari
and 28 Blocks of another 4 districts ( Bhiwani, Rohtak, Hisar and Sirsa) all falling on the western
and south-western side, and in all constituting about 1/3 of the state, fall in the DDAP/DDP
region. The reason behind this is that topography of the state is such that the districts of
Gurgaon, Mahendergarh, Rewari and part of Bhiwani and Jhajjar cannot be brought under
gravity canal commands. To overcome this difficulty, lift canal system with a total length of
1665 km, has been developed. The drought affected South-Western parts of the state occupied
sand dunes and Aravalli hills and not suitable for gravity flow irrigation, are provided with lift
irrigation system namely the Jui, Indira Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Birendra Narayan
Chakarvarti, Sahlawas and Jhajjar lift canals. There are four irrigation systems in the state,
namely Western Yamuna Canal, Bhakra Canal, Agra Canal and Ghaggar Canal. The Western
Yamuna Canal and Bhakra Canal system irrigate the major part of the state.
2.4 Hailstorms are also common phenomena in Haryana.
2.5 Winds The state experiences gusty winds, dust storms and thunderstorms during March to June. The
wind velocity recorded at Ambala and Hisar shows that from October to September, it is higher
(6.7 to 10.6 km/h) around Hisar than around Ambala (6.1 to 7.1 km/hr) but during post-monsoon
and winter.
Out of total geographical area of 44.23 lakh hectares in the state, about 50% area is severely
affected with the problems of erosion, alkalinity, salinity and water logging.
Soil erosion occurs mainly due to water and wind. The soil erosion through water occurs mainly
in the areas falling in Shivalik foothills and in Aravalli ranges. It is estimated that about 5.50
lakh hectare area is affected with this problem. About 12 lakh hectare area is affected with wind
erosion which occurs mainly in sandy and dry belt areas of the state. An area of 2.32 lakh
hectares is affected with the problem of alkalinity and 2.55 lakh hectares with salinity and water
Yamunanagar Unit-II Sand Mining Project Disaster Management Plan
logging.
2.6 Other forms of Disasters High pollution levels, Contamination of ground water and surface water, and heavy metals and
pesticide contamination of soil etc. are emerging classes of man-made and environmental
hazards. About 3766 sq km area in Haryana is underlain by saline groundwater. Hisar,
Kaithal, Gurgaon have been identified as endemic to flurosis due to abundance in natural
occurring fluoride bearing minerals.
Haryana has also a history of industrial and road/rail/air accidents such as Air Accident
(Charkhi-Dadri 1995), Rail Accident at Ballabgarh, Dabwali Fire (1995), Sonipat Fire (1998),
Yamunanagar Unit-II Sand Mining Project Disaster Management Plan
and recent Bomb explosion caused fire in Samjhota Express 2007. In addition to this the threat of
Global Warming and its resultant climatic variations such as inter seasonal variations in
rainfall; environmental issues and effect on wheat and rice production increase the vulnerability
of the state. Issues related to rapid urbanization and waste disposal are assuming a gigantic
proportion. 3. INSTITUTIONAL SETUP
3.1 Haryana State Disaster Management Authority and District Disaster
Management Authorities
Haryana State Disaster Management Authority and District Disaster Management Authorities
have been constituted on 9-10-2007 as per provisions of Disaster Management Act, 2005. As per
provisions of this Act Executive Committee has been constituted. Regular meetings of SEC are
being held for approval of issues related to DM and monitoring of the decisions. The state has
notified DM Rules in August 2010. The State Advisory Committee has been constituted and first
meeting of the Committee is proposed. State and District Crisis Group has been formed and first
meeting of the State Crisis Group was held on 15 th November, 2011. At the district level,
District Crisis Group meets at regular intervals.
3.2 Emergency Operation Centre
In Faridabad, first Emergency Operation Centre of the State has been inaugurated. The
foundation stone of Multi Purpose Hall which have Emergency Operation Centre, Control
Room& Training/conference hall, Civil Defence store room, has been laid down by Dr. Rakesh
Gupta, Deputy Commissioner, and Faridabad on 7th May, 2012. The initiative was a result of a
collaborative approach. Civil Defence, revenue Department, Fire Department, District
Information Office will play a significant role in its establishment. It has staff includes Chief

3.3 Centres for Disaster Management
Centre for Disaster Management was established at the Haryana Institute of Public
Administration (HIPA) as its integral part on 1st July 1994 under the Central Sectoral scheme of
the Natural Disaster Management Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India.
The aim of the Centre is to promote prevention, mitigation, and preparedness, Emergency
Response and recovery among the state officials and other stakeholders in the field of Disaster
Management.
Disaster Management Plan for the proposed project
This should deal with action plan for high risk accidents subsidence, flood, inundation in
underground mines, fire, seismic activities, tailing dam failures etc. and emergency plan
proposed for quick evacuation, ameliorative measures to be taken etc. The capability of lessee to
meet such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local authorities should be
described.
The shallow depth of activities in river bed mining will not involve any high risk
accident due to side falls/collapse.
The complete mining operation will be carried out under the Management and control
of experienced and qualified Mines Manager having Certificate of Competency to manage
the mines granted by DGMS.
All the provisions of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules 1955, RMMCR
1986 and other laws applicable to mine will strictly be complied with.
During heavy rainfall the mining activities will be closed.
All persons in supervisory capacity will be provided with proper communication
facilities.
Workers will be provided with FIRST AID facility which will always kept at the site.

3.2.2 LOCAL GEOLOGY
The Latitudes and Longitudes of mine lease area are 300 17'32.32''N to 300 16'58.50''N and
77°33'8.40"E to 77·32'49.93"E respectively on toposheet number 53F/l1.
The litho units encountered in the riverbed and surrounding areas belongs to the Shivalik
super groups. The sediments are river borne and has deposited in the riverbed and the
flood plains.
The different formation s of the area belong to Sh ivalik Super group and are a mixture of
boulders, pebbles, sand, silt and cl ay. The following sequences have bee n observed in the
area.
Soil / Alluvium
Sand
Gravel
Boulder
There is no clear demarcation between the litho un its. They have been deposit in a mixed form.
The Litho- units exposed around the riverbed belong to Shivalik Super- Group. The mineral
Bou lders, Gravel and sa nd have formed by weathering of rocks and then deposition on the flood
plains of the rivers originated from the Shivaliks. These have been washed by rainwater during
rainy season and deposited in river bed in the form of boulders, gravels and sand of different sizes

Sand is an essential minor mineral used extensively across the country as a useful construction constituent
and va riety of other uses in sports, agricu lture, glass making (a form of sand with high si lica content) etc. It
is common knowledge that mineral s are non-renewable but this form of mineral naturally gets replenished
from time to time in a given river syst em and is very much interrelated to the hydrological cycle in a river
basin.
The Rivers originating from the Himalayas bring with them lots of aggregate materials whereas as they
move downstream, only finer elements / minerals like sand are found in abundance. River Yamuna near
Dakpathar barrage leaves Uttarakhand and enters Himachal Pradesh.
The YAMUNA RIVER is the biggest t ributary of the river Ganga in No
glacier at an elevation of 6387 mtrs on South western sides of Ban
ranges. The overa ll span of the Yamuna river is 1376 Kms (855

have grea ter influence on sediment yield than either mean annual runoff or drainage area. Nevertheless,
these equations provide a first approximation to be of sediment yield for watershed planning purposes.
Calculation of Sediment Yield for bou lder, gravel &Sand Mine of Yamunanagar Unit-l
Yamuna nagar Unit-1 comprises of one mining quarries
The total production proposed is 10.154 Lakh MT
• Area under riverbed: 48.97
• Drainage ba sin area of river Yamuna and is tributaries in Haryana : 8214 square miles
• Normal Annual Rainfall of Yamunanagar district (1978 to 2005) :1076mm or 42.36 inch
With above inputs, the calculation of the sediment yield by the Dandy and Bolton formula is illustrated
below:
Sample S.No. Q {in inches} A (in square mile) 5 5 = 1965 e-0.055Q[1.43 - O.26Iog(A)) I 1 3.5 150 1400.823
Set 2 27.4 8214 179.4756
With above formula the value of S; 76.40 T/mile square/annum
Therefore th e Total Sedimen t Yield for drainage basin of 8214 square mile wi ll be; 8214 x 76.40; 6.27 lac T
per annum.
Dandy & Boltan formula also says that actual sediments yield from ind ividual drainage basins may vary 10-
fold or even 100 fold from computed yie lds. Since itinerary of river Yamuna indicates that its basis
comprises of sediment rocks with good average rainfall therefore there are fair chances of yield of
sed iments to be 50 fold of computed results hence Actua l Sed iment Yield will be : 627000 T x 50 fo ld ;
3,13,50,000 T / Annum
inary
25
sediment yields normally would be low for highly erosive area and high for well stabilized drainage basins
with high plant density. Factors which have direct bearing on sediments yield & limitations of Dandy &
Bolton equation.
Sed iment yield of a sediment basin has direct impact of local terrain, climate, vegetation, soi ls, agricultural
practices & land use pattern of catchment area of the sediment basin afo resa id factors varies from basin to
basin therefore, Dandy & Bolton has category stated that use of the equation to predict sediment yield for
a specific location would be unwise because of the wide variability caused by loca l factors not considered in
the equation development. Actual sediment yield form individual drainage basins may vary lO-fold or even
lOO-fold from computed yields.
3.2.7 Grade & Use of ( Boulder, gravel & sand)
Boulder, gravel & sa nd is made of quartz or quartzite/its microcrystalline cousin chalcedony,
because that common mineral is resistant to weathering. Boulder, gravel & sands contain quartz,
feldspar grains, tiny bits of rock (Iithics), or dark minerals like ilmenite and magnetite.
The size of the sediments is variable . The grains whether small or large are rounded in shape.
Sand, bould er and gravel are mainly grey, brown in color,coarse to fin e grained. The present
deposits are of good quality and can be used for building industries . There is no other use of this
material.

e) Metalled roads pass t hrough the lease area. A safety zone of 50 m on each side of roads is
earmarked. In this zone no activities wi ll be conducted.
f) A barrier of 7.5 m width will be left from the lease boundary, if falling in the river bed.
g) Rive r is not having any water fl ow during post monsoon period and sa nd bed remains dry.
h) Mineral reserves are ca lcu lated up to 3 m depth from river bed surface Rl.
All reserves are proved reserves . Details are given as below.
Methods of est imation of reserves :-
For estimating the reserve of mineral deposits i.e . Boulder, Gravel and Sa nd the fo llowing
Parameters are considered
Sediments of various sizes are in mixed form and predom inantly deposited in the river bed and
outside the river bed . There is no perfect classification between boulders, cobbles, pebbles and
sa nd . They are deposited in a mixed state. The cla ssifica t ion is done by grab mining and the
sediments are passed through different sieves in the screening plants.
The reserves are calculated on the basis of established width, thickness and strike
length/influence of the mineralized formation in the area. The area is further subdivided in to sub
blocks to ensure the syst ematic & scientific mining of the area.
1. The entire reserves of Boulder, Gravel and Sand up to the depth of 3.0 m are ca lculated.
2. The bulk density of boulder, gravel and Sand is considered 2.00
3. The reserves of Boulder, Gravel and Sand ca lculated by vo lumetric method and are
summarized be low:

MEASURES FOR PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT IN AND AROUND MINING LEASE AREA
Dry bed mining wil l on ly be ca rri ed out.
Mining activiti es will be confined to 3.0 m depth from surface level of river bed.
All link road s from th e mining area to th e tar road will be properly sprayed with water for dust
suppression.
• Greenbelt and plantation on road side and rive r banks w ill help in dust suppression and w ill also
reduce noi se level.
• Plantation w ill improve ecology and aesthetic beauty of the area
• Measures will be taken to prevent th e workings from extending in safety zones, cutting the banks
and exceeding 3.0 m depth limit from th e river bed surface.

2.1.2 LOCAL GEOLOGY
The litho unitsencountered in the ri ve rbed and surround ing areas belongs to the Shivalik super
groups. The sed iments are river borne and has deposited in the riverbed and the flood plains.
The different formations of the area belong to Shivalik Super group and are a mixture of boulders,
pebb les, sand, silt and clay. The fo llowing sequences have been observed in the area.
Soil/Alluvium
Sand
Gravel
Boulder
There is no clear demarcation between the lit ho un its. They have been deposit in a mixed
form . The Litho- units exposed around the riverbed belong to Shivalik Super- Group. The mineral
Bou lders, Gravel and sand have formed by weathering of rocks and than deposition on the f lood
plains of the rivers originated from the Shivaliks. These have been washed by rainwater during
rainy season and deposited in river bed in the form of boulders, gravels and sand of different sizes
and shapes. These minerals are sorted by screening. Th e max depth of the minerals is not known.
Soil/ alluvium va rying in thickness from 2-4m constitute the top horizons in the area su itable for
agricu lture. Yamuna River meanders through the area exposing the alluvium and soil at the banks.
Boulder, gravel & sand is found in the ri ve r bed. Thickness of Boulder, gravel & sand is more than
lOmeters. This bed is presently dry and water flows only during the rainy season The Sand

4.2 Water quality management
The only river Yamuna flows in the north-western part of the district which originates in
Himayayas and drain the district. The genera l slope of the land surface is From NE to SW.
The genera l phygiograpy of the Lease area is gently slop ing from N E to SW side
indicating the flow direction of river.
There is no flow of water in the river bed in post monsoon period.Area is having 1076 mm
rainfall in a year. During rainy season, catchment water flows in the river. During dry
period the Bould er, gravel & sand is excavated which gets replenished to some extent
during this period. No mining activities wi ll be carried out during rainy season when there
is water flowing in the working area.
There will be no intersection of water table as working will be carried out upto 3.0 m depth
only from surface of river bed while the water level is 10 m below the surface of river bed .
4.3 Air Quality Management:
The proposed mining method is not likely to produce much of dust and fugitive emissions to cause
damage to ambient air quality of the area .Workers will be provided with person nel protective
equipment like facemask, ea r plug/ muffs.
For air pollution management of mine, greenbelt will be ai r
