CHAPTER – 1

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT & LOCATION

1.1. GERERAL

The Karo OCP comes under Bokaro and Kargali area of Central Coalfields Ltd. It is

situated in the Bokaro District of JHARKHAND state. The opencast mine is designed for a

rated capacity of 3.5. million te. of Coal/annum and present production of coal is 0.768 MT

in the year 2013-14. The total mineable reserve of opencast mine has been estimate 67.00

MT with corresponding OB volume of 55.00 M m3. This gives average stripping ratio of

0.84. Estimated life of the opencast mine is 36 years. The project area has a rugged

topography with elevation varying from 243.8 m to 335.29 m. The slope of the ground is

general southerly. A major Nala, Karo Nala flow on the eastern side of the project and

drains into Damodar river. There are a number of small rivulets / drains just within the

project area. The drains either meet Karo Nala or Damodar river. All the ten coal seams

have been found to be suitable for opencast mining. Present production of coal during

2013-14 is 0.768 million te. External and internal overburden dumps exists in the mine.

Most of the OB dumping was external. Since the mine is advancing backfilling of OB is

being done as per the progress of the phase. Volume of total OB to be generated during life

span of mine is 55.00 million m3. Slope of the OB dumps conforms to natural angle of

repose. OB generated during 2013-14 is 0.39 million m3. Working collieries surrounding this

project are Kargali, Karo Seam inline, Amlo. Coal mining is the prime industry in this region.

These developments have influenced various environmental attributes, e.g. air and water

quality, noise level, socio-economic profile, land used pattern etc.

PART – G

IMPACT OF POLLUTION ABATEMENT MEASURES ON CONSERVATION OF NATIONAL RESOURCE AND CONSEQUENTLY ON COST OF PRODUCTION

In order to carry out mining operation in an eco-friendly manner the following pollution control measures have been adopted and proposed for continuance :

1.0. Air Pollution Control Measures :

i. Regular sprinkling of water on haul road and other road to prevent the dust from becoming airborne.

ii. Blasting operations are carried out during congenial weather condition e.g. avoiding temperature inversion preferably the wind velocity is high.

iii. Dust suppression system at all transfer points. iv. Vegetation of Overburden dumps immediately after its discontinuance. v. Plantation in all available open spaces in lease hold around the mine pit along roads

and nearby colony.

2.0. Water Pollution Control Measures :

i. There is a central water sump in the mine. This act as sedimentation lagoon for mine water. Sump water is being utilized for water spraying on haul roads for dust suppression and for washing of HEMM in workshop. Excess fresh water from lagoon is being discharged out of mine in a pond.

ii. In workshop there is an E.T.P. Fresh water coming out from E.T.P. after use in workshop is discharged into the pond.

8

3.0. Noise Pollution Control : It has been observed that most of the high level noise generated in the project area where equipment originated. Moreover, the problem of noise pollution is confined to quarry areas where HEMM, particularly drill, shovel and dumper operate. The following control measures are followed and proposed.

i. HEMMs are provided with sound proof cabin so that operators are not subjected to high noise levels.

ii. Ear muffs are to be provided to each worker exposed to high noise levels. iii. Efforts are being made to produce least noise levels.

4.0. Measures for Reclamation of Land :

The only solid waste produced in the mining process at Karo – I Project is the over-burden. At present O.B. is being dumped internally for reclamation of land. Slope of the O.B. dumps conform to natural angle of repose.

PART – H

ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL

PROTECTION INCLUDING ABATEMENT OF POLLUTION

The following are the additional investment proposal for Environmental protection.

(i) All residential quarters of the employees for the project has been provided with septic latrines and effluents are disposed off in soak pits. The capital investment for this purpose has not been assessed separately.

(ii) The Environment Monitoring of the project are continued by C.M.P.D.I.L. quarterly as per guidelines of MOEF.

(iii) Environment statement report will be prepared for each financial year ending 31st March.

(iv) The air and water consent are taken regularly from Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board, Ranchi every year.
