Goma River is a seasonal river.

The district Panchmahals is a part of Eastern Hilly Region and is sub-divided into two sub-microregions namely, Mahi plain and Forested and scrub zone on the basis of topography, climate,geology, soils and natural vegetation.

Mahi plain :The region covers the western part of the district and includes Lunawada, Santrampur, Godhra,Kalol, Shehera and Halol talukas. It is enclosed by Forested and scrub zone from north and eastwhile Kheda and Vadodara districts surround it from south and west. The general slope of theregion is from south and the general elevation is 100 metres above M.S.L. The region receivessufficient rainfall in the rainy season and supports a healthy growth of trees. Summers are hot anddry. Geologically, the rocks found in this region are alluvium, blown sand, etc., Deccan trap,Erinpurru Granite, Gneiss Aravalli and associated rocks. The soils of this region are medium black inthe north and grey blown in the south.

Forested and scrub zone:The region spreads over Halol, Godhra, Shehera, Lunawada, Santrampur and Jambughodatalukas of the district. It makes its boundaries with Rajasthan state in the north and north-east.Dohad Upland in the east, Vadodara district in the south and Mahi plain in the west.Topographically, this region is relatively higher in elevation than Mahi plain. The general elevationof this region is 150 metres above M.S.L. During monsoon season it receives good amount ofrainfall while summers are generally hot and dry. The higher areas of this region are covered withforests. Geologically this region consists mainly of Aravally with associated rocks and DeccanTraps formations.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN AND C.S.R. ACTIVITES

27

Measures proposed for protection ofenvironmental attributes like riverbed,riparian vegetation, water, air , humanhealth etc.

The precaution will be taken for nature of riverbed and ensure that it would not be disturbeddue to mining. No riverbed vegetation hasbeen found in the lease area. The depth of themining will be restricted to 3 m or water level,whichever is less. Domestic wastewater ifgenerated will be disposed off through soakpit/septic tank. Approach road & lease area willbe water sprinkled regularly. Speed of vehicleentering in to the lease is will be restricted up to20 km/hr. Overloaded vehicles will be coveredwith tarpaulin.

28Details on transportation route &measures proposed for control offugitive emission during transportation

The project site is connecting State Highway SH-150 to the mine site approximately 0.95 km,road distance.

Mitigation:• Water is sprayed periodically to wet the road.• Ensure that the loader bucket is close to thetruck to minimize drop height while loading.• Plantation of trees along the roads to helpreduce the impact of dust in the nearbyvillages.• PUC certified heavy vehicles will be used for
