2.0 Introduction of the Project:

Cement is the basic requirement for the development and industrialisation of any

country, especially developed country like India. Madhya Pradesh is endowed with large

reserves of almost all grades of limestone particularly of Cement grade of Limestone,

After proving of limestone in Morena area of M.P. the Abhijeet Cement Limited has got

three mining lease in the Morena area . The details of these leases are given as under:

The company has signed MOU with M.P. State Government for establishing Cement

plant having 2.5 million tons per annum cement production capacity along-with power

plant in District Morena

By detailed exploration done in the area the quality and quantity of limestone available

in the area will suffice the limestone requirement of 2.5 MTPA Cement plant.

There are three mining plan approved by IBM for mining of limestone from three

different mining leases allocated to M/s Abhijeet Cement Limited as a captive limestone

mine to sustain requirement of principal raw material to captive cement plant of the

company.

The mining of limestone proposed in three mining leases simultaneously to sustain

cement plant qualitatively as well as quantitatively keeping in mind the use of low grade

limestone by judicious blending with higher grade limestone so as to attain specified

grade limestone supply to cement plant. The block-wise details of limestone excavation

are given as under the mining plan for planned excavation of limestone is already

approved by Indian bureau of Mines.

2. (I) Identification of Project & Project proponent:

The Limestone is the principle raw material for the cement plant which is to be mined from

this mining leases executed by M/s Abhijeet Cement limited for sustaining limestone

requirement of the plant this mine is captive limestone mines attached to cement plant.

Since cement is a site specific industry and mostly its plant are located close to the

limestone deposits, this limestone deposits have been chosen by the company since in this

area there are no major cement plant and requirement of cement increasing day by day.

Looking to the ever increasing demand of cement and availability of cement grade

limestone attracted M/s Abhijeet cement limited to execute mining leases in this area for

captive consumption of limestone excavated from the mine. (Annexure-I Copy of mining

leases executed with Govt. of M.P.)

2. (II) Brief description of nature of the Project:

The mining of limestone will be done by opencast mechanised mining operation by

applying drill hole drilling and blasting and loading and transportation of the blasted

limestone up to the crusher hopper from all the three mining leases simultaneously so as to

excavate required quantity and quality of limestone. The mining plans for excavation and

development in all the three mining leases have been approved by Indian bureau of mines.

The summary of approved mining plans is described in detail as under:

The area is approachable by the metallic roads and

having all communication facilities. The nearest

railway station is Kailaras, which is connected with

Gwaliar-Sheopur-kalahan by narrow-gauge rail link

of Central Railway passing through the area from


10

northern part.

Topo- sheet No. : The mine leases area falls under following adjoining

Top sheets of Survey of India Nos. 54F/11.

GEOLOGY OF THE AREA

The applied area comprises mostly of hill slope, the hillock being on the southern side and

gradually the slope is dimensioning to the ground level in the northern direction. In the

north of the area, there are a few non-perennial nala running towards north-easterly. The

maximum elevation is 220 m MSL on the southern hilly slope of the lease area and the

ground level which is mainly towards north of the applied area is about 195 m MSL. South of

the lease area hills are comprises of sandstone. On the eastern boundary of the area, there

is a Chambal main canal which is 1km. The applied area is almost south of the village

Badhreta about 500 m distance.

The area is in form of hillocks where limestone outcrops are visible all around and that form

the basis for estimating limestone reserves in and around hillocks.

Regional geology:

The Vindhyans were given the status of a system when it was first recognised by T. Oldham

in 1856. The system derives its name from the great Vindhyan mountains a part of which

form a prominent plateau-like range of sandstone occuring north of the Narmada Valley

particularly in Bundelkhand and Malwa. The land barrier which is believed to have

separated from northern sea and southern sea during the Cuddapah period giving rise to

the Vindhyan Formation in Central India. The Vindhyan basin of Central India occupies

nearly an area of 104000 sq. kms. Spreading over four states viz. Bihar, Madhya Pradesh,

Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. The eastern extension of this great basin is concealed under

the alluvial cover of the river Yamuna and Ganga and the western margin is largely

concealed under the Traps with isolated inliers exposed near Indore. T. Oldham classified

the Vindhyans in two-fold and further subdivided them. Mallet, (l869) gave a

comprehensive geological account of the Vindhyan system and divided further in Lower and


11

Upper Vindhyans. Significant contribution to the geology of the Vindhyan system have been

made by Heron (1922), Vredenberg (1906), Coulson (1907), Auden (1933), Pascoe (1959)

and recently by a number of workers from the Geological Survey of India.

J.B. Auden in his classic memoir on the Vindhyan sediments in the Son valley published in

the year 1933 presented a detailed classification of the Vindhyan System into different

series, stages and sub-Stages, thereby replacing the earlier classification of Mallet (1869). In

an attempt to bring the stratigraphic terminology in conformity with the International users,

some workers have recently proposed Vindhyan ' to be called as a "Super Group". The code

of stratigraphic nomenclature of India has also favored the status of Vindhyan as a Super

Group.

Vredenberg (1906), suggested that the Vindhyan sedimentation have taken place in a

synclinal trough and has been continuous along the axis while there was upheaval and

denudation along the edges. Auden (1903), opines that the Vindhyan sediments represent

alternate sequence of marine and fluvio-deltloic deposits with associated eustatic changes.

Banerjee (1960), considered vindhyans as largely of marine origin with local evidence in

favour of fluvatile and lacustrine conditions. Studies by Das and Kumar (1972 and 1974) in

the eastern and middle part of the Vindhyan basin indicated that the marine shallow water

conditions with intertidal conditions of deposition during the most part of Vindhyan

sedimentation.

The regional Geology :UPPER VINDHYAN SUCCESSION is as under:

Taken as a whole, the structure of the Vindhyan area is that of a basin, the sandstone

forming plateaux. Over the greater part of the area, the beds are nearly horizontal, but

show evidence of disturbance near the north-west and south-west margins.

The presence of current-bedding and ripple marks in the strata is indicative of shallow water

origin; while the red sandstones of Bhanders and Kaimurs indicate semi-arid and continental

conditions.

Geological Setup of the area:

The area is part of Upper Vindhyan Supergroup formations and the rocks of Bhander Series

are well exposed in the area. On the regional scale generalized geological sequence is as

under:

Alluvium--- Clayish, sandy in nature

GanurgarhShales

Dark red (catachu red)and olive green withwhite band of shale,flaggy in nature.

Ganurgarh Shale:

The lowest stage of the Bhander Group is represented by Ganurgarh shale comprises of red

colour (catechu red), well-laminated shale band which is well exposed on the southern side

of the hill along the scarp face with intercalation of green clay band. The shale band dies out

as moves northward.

Bhander Limestone:

Next to Ganurgarh shale, Bhander limestone overlain it in the form of hillock capping with

altitude of about 60 meters height. It comprised mainly of grey colour limestone in the

lower part with the dark grey and compact limestone at the top. Just above the hill capping

on summit a small patch of nodular mottled coneretionary limestone locally known as

‘Gohra Marble’ is well exposed. It is brown, bluish-green, red and yellow in colour (showing

spherulitic structure). Its thickness is various from 0.5 to 1.0 meters. In the areal extension,

the limestone seems to start as grey colour flaggy, with red and green calcareous shale bed

which overlies by dark grey, hard and compact limestone and finally it passes to more

siliceous nature nodular limestone at hill capping. It is clear from field evidence that

siliceous nature increase as goes upward. The Bhander limestone shows much variation in

their nature from bottom level to top level. They are medium to fine-grained, well-bedded

and compact. The colour varies from grayish to light yellowish cream. The total thickness of

these limestone including middle and lower shaly limestone and upper compact grey

limestone reaches up-to 60 meters above Ganurgarh shales.

A very peculiar characteristic feature of Bhander limestone in the area is presence of well-

formed structural dome. The dome structure is very well prominent on the slope of all

dimensions ranging from smallest to largest as goes upward and seems to be associated

with close folding or warping of limestone strata.


14

In dome flank, bed is hard compact, siliceous in nature with high dip in all directions. The

horizontal flaggy grey coloured limestone in the core and from the close inspection of the

dome, it is seen that the domal structure is associated with post depositional activity of

limestone in the form uplift of beds forming dome or humps.

Various sedimentary structures such as ripple marks, cracks, solution cavities, vein filling etc

are present in limestone band on the exposed faces.

Anticipated life of mine

The proposed rate of production will be 1.0 million tonnes of ROM of which the graded

limestone will be 90% i.e. 0.9 million tonnes. Based on all category limestone resources of

the block the life of the mine will be more than 20 years. The probable and prefeasibility

resources will also be converted in to mineable reserves during mining operation detailed

prospecting work.

Giving due consideration to interstitial clay it is expected about 1.0 million tons of rejection

is to be handled during course of life of mine as per approved minable reserves, This rejects

will be used if process parameters permitted other -wise will be suitably dumped at

selected location and all the protection measures will be taken to avoid washout of this

material. Thorough afforestation work will be carried out over these dumps.

Salient features of Mining Method

Being the principle raw material for cement plant the limestone mine is located in the

vicinity of cement plant.

Mining Method: Opencast Mechanised means of mining method is going to be adopted for

excavation of limestone.

Drilling: Drilling operation for making blast hole will be done with the help of 150 mm

diameter drill machine.


17

Blasting operation: Blasting will be performed with the help of slurry/ANFO combination

.Blasting operation will be performed with utmost safety and use of latest technology like

use of redet, in-hole initiation system so as to kept flying fragment and fly rock to the bare

minimum.

Loading & Transportation operations: The blasted limestone will be loaded in the dumper

with the help of Shovel of appropriate size in combination with the dumper.

Crushing of limestone: The crushing of blasted limestone for size reduction will be done at

impact type crusher. Transportation of crushed limestone to cement plant: The crushed

limestone will be transported to plant with the help of belt conveyor of appropriate size.

All the three blocks are having undulating topography wherein the top and slope of the hill

is having cement grade limestone, the mining benches varies from 4 to 10 meter will be

maintained depending upon the topography of the particular block.

Waste Rock Handling and its dumping: The waste rock mostly is argillaceous limestone and

purple shale which will be handled and dumped as per proposals of approved mining plan.

The dump has been proposed away from any source of water so as to avoid water

contamination.

Sub-grade mineral handling and its dumping: The mining have been proposed in such a way

that almost entire limestone of low-grade nature will be utilised by blending however

temporary stockpile of sub grade mineral will be made if required away from waste dump to

avoid mixing.

Top soil handling and dumping: There are very little top soil cover is there in mining area

which will be separately dumped so as to utilise it for plantation and reclamation activity.

Mine haulage road: The mining faces of all the three blocks have been proposed to be

connected to crusher dumping location by smooth mine haul road for handling and

transportation of mineral.

Drainage arrangement: Since mining is to perform mostly at hill top and slope the garland

drainage arrangement will be made and at the bottom of the drain siltation tank will be

made for proper de siltation of mine water.

Monitoring of environmental parameters and there control measures: monitoring and

control measure for all the environmental parameter is described in detail in the mining

plan. And it has been stated that utmost care will be taken to kept pollution level bare

minimum by adopting innovative techniques being used in the mining.


18

Progressive mine closure plan and Conceptual mine plan:

As stated above that limestone deposition is at the top and slope of the various hillocks of

mining leases in order to mine limestone a benching pattern is going to be formed after

exhaust of complete limestone from the benches the same will be rehabilitate by massive

afforestation. Similarly all the environmental parameters will be monitored and kept under

control as per MOEF and IBM norms thought the mine life.

Mined out land & its rehabilitation:

The mining lease area is in form of hill and the limestone is to be mined from the top and

slope of the hill, the mining operation will be carried out in systematic and scientific manner

by developing benches of limestone at slope and top of the hill hence at the time of closure

when hole limestone will be exhausted the mine area becomes flat and that will be topped

with first by mineral rejects and later by top soil and then afforestation will be carried out as

a rehabilitation measures , Since at present the hills or devoid of any vegetation when

plantation will be carried out the environment of the area will be improved than existing.

The lease wise status of area broken and rehabilitation at the end of mine life is given as

under

At the exhaust of the reserves of limestone whole area is likely to become flat land sincemining operation are limited to above ground level only.

2. (III) Need of the Project and its importance to the country and or region:

The important factor for setting up captive limestone mine in this area is availability of

Cement grade limestone to sustain qualitatively and quantitatively requirement for 2.20

MTPA cement plant proposed to be commissioned by the company. This area has been

chosen largely because of availability of limestone and there is no cement industry available

in this area to mitigate cement requirement of the area. This endeavour of the company will

definitely improve the socioeconomics of the region and the country as whole more ever it

is going to be generating considerable revenue for the State Government as royalty, Surface

rent and other applicable duties to the operative mines.


19

2. (IV) Demand Supply Gap:

All the excavated limestone will be consumed for cement manufacturing by its cement plant

and the limestone resources are going to be fulfilled the limestone requirement for more

than thirty years. In order to cope up with any supply problem a stockpile of crushed

limestone will be maintained at Plant location.

2. (V) Imports Vs Indigenous Production:

The Proposed limestone excavated from the all the three mining leases will be consumed

for cement manufacturing in India only.

2. (VI) Export Possibilities:

Nil

2. (VII) Domestic Export Market:

The Proposed limestone excavated from the all the three mining leases will be consumed

for cement manufacturing in India and shall be for domestic market only.

3(III) Details of alternative sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site

particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted:

The mineral based industries are site specific industry and it can be put where ever mineral

deposit is available however looking to the lean infrastructure development in this area

company proposed to put a cement plant based on the limestone deposit available as

regard to environmental aspect is concern all the mitigated measures will be taken up so as

to control the pollution by mining activity bare minimum this aspect of EMS have been

described in detail in the earlier Para’s.

3(IV) Size or Magnitude of the operation:

This is a project of mining of limestone from mining leases for captive consumption at

cement plant and hence it is medium magnitude plant where environmental parameters will

be monitored and kept under control by effective Environment management system, the

annual production despatch of limestone is about 1.0 million tons per annum.

3(V) Project Description with process details:

The Limestone will be mined by opencast mechanised mining method in which drill machine

will be used for blast hole drill than this blast hole will be blasted with the help of

combination of slurry explosive and ANFO( Ammonium with nitrate fuel oil ). The blasted

limestone than will be loaded in to Dumper with the help of shovel, the dumper than

transport the blasted limestone to crusher hopper for size reduction this crushed limestone

will be than transported to cement plant for further processing .

3(VI) Raw material required along with estimated quantity likely source, marketing area of

final product, mode of transport of raw material and finished product:

This is mining project in which the mining leases are going to supply the requisite limestone

to the cement plant. The finished product that is crushed limestone is going to be

transported with the help of conveyor belt to cement plant. As described in the earlier

Para’s about 35 million tons of proved category reserves is already available in the area this

will be further enhance when by proposed exploration activity the inferred limestone

reserves will be converted in to proved reserves there by substantial increase will be there

in mine life.

3(VII) Resource optimisation /Recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any should

be briefly outlined:

The minerals are non renewable resources and its optimised use by judicious blending has

been given utmost importance while mine planning in all the three deposit. It was envisaged

that all the low grade limestone resources will be consumed by proper blending techniques

this will leads to enhancement in mine life.


26

3(VII) Availability of water its resources, Energy /Power requirement and sources should

be given:

In limestone mine generally water is required for spraying water on mine haul roads, during

wet drilling operation and for domestic consumption the requirement of water is about 50

cubic meters per day that will be met from nearby surface water resources that is Kunwari

River. In the due course of time when mining operation will be extended below ground level

the pit will work as rain water harvesting pond thereby increase in ground water potential

of the area is also expected.

Power requirement will be met by the captive power plant going to be commissioned along

with the Cement plant.

3(IX) Quantity of wastes to be generated (Liquid and solid) and scheme for their

Management/Disposal:

The quantity of waste rock/topsoil generated during period of approved mining plan will be

systematically dumped at location proposed in the approved mine plan the top soil will be

temporarily stocked at designated location for used during rehabilitation of spoil dumps

after topping up of top soil on spoil dumps thorough afforestation will be carried out so as

to minimise the impact on spoil dump covered land.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN:

(i) Already degrade land due

to quarrying / pitting,

dumping, road Processing

plant, work shop,

township etc.

The area applied under ML is Govt. revenue land is

having cement grade limestone (+44% CaO) and will

be worked by open-cast mechanized mining method

with machineries for drilling, dozing and haulage.

There will be degradation of land by mining limestone

in the limestone bearing area and there will be

formation of pit only in western part of the lease area,

which can be used as water tank for fisheries

(ii). Water regime There are a few developed nala in the lease area,

flowing northerly and north-easterly due to the slope

of the hillocks.

The overall rainfall in a year is between 1200-1400

mm. At present there is no water regime of any

importance in the area. As we propose to increase the

development and production activity in the mines we

proposed to have hydrological study by reputed

agency to ascertain any adverse impact of mining

from increased production and development.

(iii) Flora and Fauna There is no flora and fauna of significant importance.

(iv) Quality of air, ambient

noise level and water.

Air quality monitoring will be carried out by any

Environment consultant and submitted with final

submission of the Mining plan for 186.79 Ha in

Sehadpur-Itoura area. The same will hold good for this

area also being a continuation along the hill slope. The

upwind, down wind and foot of the hill SPM, NO2, and

SO2 are within permissible limits, Being a waste land

area the noise level is very much within limits. During

the submission and approval of mining plan for 186.79

Ha, water analysis data in detail will be conducted by

any Environment consultant for surface water, ground

water and spring water – all parameters ore within

limits. Air monitoring survey is being carried out at the

established station on season wise and all existing

dust control measures will be in practice i.e. wet

drilling, water spraying on haul roads, water spray on

blasted stone and plantation of trees along haul roads

etc. Air quality is well within prescribed limits this will


28

continue for the next five years also.

(v) Climatic condition Climate of this area is tropical. During summer the

temperature rises to 45ºC, while winter temperature

falls down to 4ºC (40ºF), Nights are generally cool and

pleasant. The rain fall is confined to the rainy season

from July to September and annual rain fall is 1300

mm to 1500 mm averaging about 60 rainy days.

Impact assessment and proposed mitigation measures

(1) Air Quality Due to emission of noxious gases: - various activities

during mining operation like blasting, drilling,

transportation will generate some amount of noxious

gases. Air monitoring survey is being carried out at the

established station on season wise and all existing dust

control measures will be in practice i.e. wet drilling, water

spraying on haul roads, water spray on blasted stone and

plantation of trees along haul roads etc. Air quality is well

within prescribed limits this will continue for the next five

years also

(2) Water Quality Due to formation of dust: -The area has no perennial nala,

hence there will be no impact on water regime due to

mining operation. However some amount of dust will be

added to the atmosphere due to movement of

trucks/tippers, blasting, loading and unloading of

materials to be produced during mining.

(3) Noise levels This is likely to increase due to movement of machineries,

drilling, transport, etc. we will maintain the noise levels

within limits. Periodical maintenance of equipment will be

carried out. Moreover, the green belt that would be

progressive along lease boundary, dumping yards,

haulage roads will help in restricting noise level. Noise

due to blasting is controlled by using NONEL. There will be

no impact of noise due to increase in production.

(4) Vibration level (due to

blasting)

The blasting will be done in one bench of 5 to10 meter

thickness and will be about 5 meter above the ground.

Hence vibration will not cause any damage to surrounding

area (the ground level being 200m MSL) due to the

precautionary measures at the time of blasting shall be

carried out by using NONEL detonators, which controls air

blast and ground vibration effectively. Ground Vibration


30

monitoring will be done regularly.

(5) Water regime Due to slice mining method there will be no

accumulations of the water at working area, since no pit

formation will take place. In the extreme west of

Badhreta area there is possibility of forming some pits

which can be utilized as water pond for cultivation of

fisheries. At present there is no water regime of any

importance in the area. As we propose to increase the

development and production activity in the mines we

proposed to have hydrological study by reputed agency to

ascertain any adverse impact of mining from increased

production and development.

(6) Socio-Economics There will be no adverse impact on socio economics and

demography. On the other hand mining activities will give

the employment to about 100 -150 persons.

(7)Historical-monuments None

Temporary storage and utilization of top-soil :- Wherever topsoil is encountered will be

removed and transported to the 7.5 meter of non mining zone in defined place for future

plantation. The mining will be by mechanized method the slope and removing all the

limestone available in that bench and similarly continue in subsequent lower benches;

hence question of formation of pit does not arise. However in the extreme west of the lease

hold there is a chance of formation of few pits and the same will be used for fishery culture

after creation of ponds. The target area is mostly covered with soil (infertile). The topsoil is

very limited in quantity and waste material consists of shale.

Measures to control erosion /sedimentation of waster courses, treatment and disposal of

water from mine, measures for mining adverse effects on water regime.

As the mining in the area would mostly be confined to hill slope, surface runoff water

accumulated in the quarry is expected to be remote. The ground water-table lies about 10

m below the ground surface level. This is ascertained by the nearly wells in the inhabitated

area. Hence, there will be no adverse effect on ground water regime. Since there will be no

treatment plant for beneficiation of ore, disposal of water from mine will be nil.


31

Plantation of grass type species along the dump slopes will be done for further control of

erosion.

Protective measures for ground vibration / air blast caused by blasting.

Provision of delay detonators for blasting and proposed plantation scheme will help to keep

the noise level within 90 dB and also help in reducing vibration level. Blasting shall be

carried out by using NONEL detonators, which controls air blast and ground vibration

effectively. Ground Vibration monitoring will be done regularly.

Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of human settlement

likely to be disturbed due to mining activity.

Socio-economic benefits arising out of mining: Mining activities will generate suitable

employment of about 50 local village people, thereby increasing their socio-economic

conditions. They may also be imparted need base technical education to get suitable

employment under skilled category also.

Monitoring schedules for different environmental components after the commencement

of mining and other related activities. (for ‘A’ category mines only)

The monitoring of various environmental parameters will be carried out as per norms of

MOEF and IBM as per required schedule after commencement of mining operation in

mining lease areas.

4(V) Existing Infrastructure:

The proposed site is well connected with basic infrastructure viz Roads, Power, Schools,

Hospitals etc. Hence no special infrastructure facilities required for setting up of mines in

this area as the existing facilities cater the need of mining project.

The Abhijeet Cement Limited has proposed to have its own town ship adjacent to the

cement plant wherein mine employees will also be accommodated this will be done after

commissioning of plant, the colony shall have all infrastructure facilities viz School, Hospital,

Recreation Club, Temple etc.

4(VI) Soil classification:

Soil in Madhya Pradesh can be classified into two major groups, fertile black soil is found in

Malwa plateau, the Narmada valley, and parts of Satpura range. Less fertile red to yellow

soils are available over much of eastern MP. The area of mining project is having infertile

limy soil topped at hillock of limestone deposition.

4(VII) Climate data from secondary sources:

The climate in M.P. is governed by monsoon weather pattern. The distinct seasons are

summer (March through May), winter (November through February), and the intervening

rainy months of the south west monsoon (June through September).The summer is hot dry

and windy in which temperature goes as high as 470 C during day and up to 250 C in night,

Winters are usually pleasant and dry with temperature goes as low as o40 C during night and

up to 300 C in Day. The average rainfall of this area is around 750 mm that is about 30 inches

in a year.

4(VIII) Social infrastructure available:

Education: - The site is well connected in respect to education the Tahsil head quarter

Kailaras have collages and schools for student, the district head quarter Morena is having

collages of almost all discipline, where as primary education facilities in the villages nearby

mining area

Hospital:-There is primary health centre and 60 sub primary health centres are available at

Kailaras Tahsil.

Transport:-The transport facilities in the Tahsil are well developed and wide spread. The

state and national highway links most of the area of region.

Communication:-Communication facilities go a long way in information collection and its

dissemination in an effective and speedy manner. In the modern society, the roll of the

facilities in the socio-economic development of the society is very well recognized.

Communication facility helps in the flow of information from one place to another in

shortest time, thus helping administration and corporate managers to take crucial decisions


34

relating to daily functioning of administration and business dealing in shortest possible time.

The importance of developed communication network for the common men judged from

the fact that its availability in rural areas. All communication facilities like Phone, Mobile

network, fax are available in the nearby villages and at Tahsil headquarter.

5.0 PLANNING BRIEF

5.1 Planning Concept:

Successful implementation of the project is depend on proper planning of simultaneous and

project. Delay in implementation results in cost over-runs as well as loss of opportunity with

respect to this mining based project all the aspect of sustainable mine development in taken

care of from the mining planning stage. This is mining project attached to integrated cement

plant in the planning aspect following points have been considered:

To get prospecting licences from statutory authorities.

To prepare prospecting scheme for the mine PL area

To do prospecting operation as per prospecting scheme

To interpret the prospecting data

To establish resources for mining planning

To prepare the mining plan as per production requirement and get it approved by

respective statutory authority.

To apply for mining lease along with approved mining plan

To execute the mining lease with respective authority

All this activity have been completed in all the three mining leases by the project proponent

by providing requisite fund required to complete these activities in time bound manner.

On the same line the financing pattern for the start of mining activity for excavation of

required Limestone from captive mines will be covered under implementation schedule of

the plant since it is a captive mine to integrated cement plant and the same will be followed

meticulously.

5.2 Population Projection:

Population of Tahsil is approximately 30,000. The villages Badhreta, Itoura, Mahewa,

Saipura, Bhilampur, and Sehadpur are about 15000.


35

5.3 Land use planning Green belt breakup:

Most of the areas of the mining leases are mineralised, however The green belt

development in and around mining leases will be done as per approved mining plan for

successful implementation of proposals of mining plan with respect to plantation and green

belt development will be done by providing experienced horticulturist along with integrated

cement plant plantation and green belt development activity. The plantation will also cover

the spoil dump area as rehabilitation measures. Similarly the mined out land will also be

thoroughly afforested as and when mature for the rehabilitation.

5.4 Infrastructure Demand:

ACL proposed to have its own town ship adjacent to the cement plant and mines area to

cater the accommodation for the operation and maintenance officials and workers of the

plant and mines. The company shall have all infrastructure facilities viz School, Hospital,

recreation club etc as per the requirement of the project.


37

6.6 Drinking water management:

ACL will test the water for portability of drinking water for drinking purposes .The

appropriate treatment systems for equipment usage and drinking treatment systems shall

be installed. The source of water will be the mine area water and Kunwari river water.

6.7 Sewerage Systems:

There will be no separate town ship for the mines however the Sewerage treatment plant

have been proposed at plant for effluent treatment and the treated water will be utilised for

industrial purpose.

6.8 Industrial waste management:

Except the used waste oil, grease, Battery and cotton waste no other industrial waste is

going to be generated by mining activity. These wastes will be handled and disposed

systematically.

6.9 Solid waste management:

The solid waste going to be generated by mining activities are overburden which will be

suitably dumped at designated location as per approved mining plan and thorough

afforestation will be done over it after solidification so as to avoid washouts during rains.

6.9 Power requirement & Supply:

The proposed plant along with mines requires around 50 MW the same shall be sourced

from taking from MPSEB 132/220 KVA lines which is passing near to the site. However the

CPP will support in case of power failure from the grid.

7.0 Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R) Plan:

Although no village is going to be resettled due to mining activity as all the villages are much

away from the blasting danger zone and core zone of mines however the industrial

development in the area will definitely going to enhance the living slandered and

educational status of these villages as number activities under CSR will be taken up by ACL

Foundation.

8.0 Project Schedule and cost estimates:

The limestone mining project is basically a project attached with integrated cement plant

and mine activity will start in accordance with plant commissioning as mining plan is already

prepared and mining lease has already been executed and environmental clearance activity

with respect to mine development is under progress.

9.0 Analysis of Proposal (Final Recommendations)

The Proposed captive limestone mine has certain level of marginal impacts on the local

environment but by adopting adequate pollution control measures and use of latest

technology in field of mining these impact will be kept bare minimum. More over

development of this project including cement plant there are certain positive impact will be

there on the nearby village population in terms of infrastructure development like

educational, Transport, Communication, Health and these are much more than negligible

impact since number of promotional activities in CSR will be taken up by Abhijeet

foundation for these areas villagers. Hence with effective implementation of the EMP during

mining operation this mining project proceed without any significant negative impact on the

environment and population as a whole.
