INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.0 Introduction of the Project / Background information
i. Identification of project and project proponent. In case of miningproject, a copy of mining lease / letter of intent should be given.
Bhadra Iron Ore Mine, ML No. 2365, located in Ittanahalli village, SandurTaluka, Ballari District, over an extent of 130.53 Ha area of Forest Land ofDonimalai range is an iron ore mining lease area proposed to be granted toJSW Steel Limited as per the Letter of Intent of Govt. of Karnataka after e-auction (Annexure-I).
Pursuant to the Hon’ble Supreme Court(SC) order dated 29th July 2011 and26th August 2011, the mining operations and transportation of the iron orefrom mining leases in the districts of Ballari, Tumkur and Chitradurga hadbeen suspended except, in the case of two mining leases M/s NMDC namely,ML no. 1111 and ML no. 2396. Central Empowered Committee (CEC) wasconstituted by SC, in order to unravel the violations carried out by miningcompanies in Karnataka. As per the CEC’s joint team survey, ML No. 2365,previously held by M/s Tungabhadra Minerals Pvt. Ltd. has a totalencroachment area of 83.19 Ha (entirely under others category). Based ontheir findings, the lease has been categorized under “C” category.
Further, the Hon’ble Supreme Court by its orders dated 5th August 2011and 26th August 2011 had directed the Government of Karnataka to submitthe Reclamation and Rehabilitation Plan(s) for the districts of Ballari,Tumkur and Chitradurga within three months. Subsequently, theGovernment of Karnataka vide letter dated 29th September, 2011 hasassigned the work of preparation of R & R Plan to the Indian Council forForest Research and Education (ICFRE).
As per letter No.61/CEC/SC/2012-Pt II dated 20-08-2015; the CEC of theview that before finalizing the R & R plans of any of the Category ‘C’ miningleases, it may be appropriate that the details of mineral reserves to beavailable based on the exploration data undertaken by the State Govt.Accordingly the Govt. of Karnataka has provided the exploration work toM/s. Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited (MECL), a Government ofIndia Enterprise, Nagpur, to assess the mineral reserves in all “C” categorymines in Ballari, Chitradurga and Tumkur Districts of Karnataka State.
M/s. MECL has conducted Exploration in the Mining Lease area of BhadraIron Ore Mine, ML No. 2365, by Geological mapping, core drilling and RCdrilling etc. The reserves have been estimated by MECL. Total mineablereserves of 27.50 Million tonnes have been estimated based on theexploration data.
Hon’ble Supreme Court had directed Government of Karnataka to commencethe auction of and / or Pig Iron and/or Steel and/or Pellets will be eligible totake part in the auction. The end users will include Public SectorUndertakings.
The Department of Mines & Geology, in its LOI dated 26.10.2016, haddirected M/s JSW Steel Limited to obtain all consents, approvals, permits,no objections and the like as may be required under applicable law beforesigning the MDPA. The Hon’ble Supreme court vide its judgment dated30.07.2015 ordered to transfer the existing statutory clearances of previouslessees in favor of new lessees, who have obtained the blocks in the auction.Accordingly, the Environmental clearance (Annexure II) of previous lessee(1.25 MTPA) has been transferred. The R & R Plan prepared by ICFRE andalso duly concurred by Central Empowered Committee. Monitoringcommittee has also issued a letter vide letter No.MC/R&R/CCA/2016-17/97/73V (Annexure III) dated 29th May 2017, prescribing the annualproduction limit of 1.25 MT of iron ore, however, the mining plan isapproved for 1.5 MTPA and would be seeking the fresh environmentclearance in this behalf.
Project proponent
The JSW Group’s foray into steel manufacturing began in 1982, when it setup the Jindal Iron and Steel Company with its first steel plant at Vasindnear Mumbai. The next two decades saw significant expansion and severalacquisitions, following the merger of Jindal Iron and Steel Co (JISCO) andJindal Vijayanagar Steel Ltd (JVSL) in 2005. Today JSW Steel has plants insix locations in India — Vijayanagar in Karnataka, Salem in Tamil Nadu,and Tarapur, Vasind, Kalmeshwar and Dolvi in Maharashtra.
Our global operations include a plate and pipe mill in the US. In order tosecuritise resources, the company has acquired mining assets in Chile, USAand Mozambique.
ii. Brief description of nature of the project
Bhadra Iron Ore Mine is spread over an extent of 130.53 Ha area of ForestLand of Donimalai range, in Ittanahalli village, Sandur Taluka, BallariDistrict. LOI was granted on 26/10/2016 and expiry is 50 years as perMMDR (Amendment) Act-2015
It is proposed to increase Iron Ore production from 1.25 to 1.5 MTPA fromsubject mine
Fully mechanized open cast method of mining by drilling and blasting andby deploying HEMM equipments like hydraulic drills and excavators, wheelloaders, dumpers, will be undertaken. To make optimum exploitation of themineral deposit, the mine will be developed by making benches with a heightof 8m and width of 15m will be maintained with keeping the necessary berm
width. The bench slope angle will be maintained at 700-800 with an overallpit slope angle of 450. The working of benches will be commenced fromtop and extended to bottom benches while the direction of advancement willbe towards western as well as eastern side of the proposed working area.The ROM excavated is proposed to be processed in the crushing andscreening plants to obtain the lump and fine ore as product mix
iii. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.
To ensure raw material self-sufficiency, JSW Steel Limited, having itsintegrated steel plant with an installed capacity of 18 Million Tons (i,e 12Million Tons at Vijayanagar, Karnataka, 5 Million Tons at Dolvi,Maharashtra & 1 Million Ton at Salem, Tamilnadu), has participated inaforesaid auction. JSW Steel Limited had been awarded this mining blockvide LOI no. DMG/MLS/CCA/12/2621/2016-17 (Annexure-I). So far JSWsteel does not possess any mining lease or prospecting licenses neither inthe state of Karnataka nor in the other part of the country.
Importance to the country
Steel is traditionally considered the backbone of national economicdevelopment. It is a major input into sectors which support economic growthsuch as infrastructure, machinery, power and railways, as well as beingimportant for fast growing sectors, in particular automobiles and consumerdurables.
India is the fourth (4th) largest steel producer in the world, presentlyproducing about 90 Million Tonnes of saleable finished steel products in theratio of about 40-60% in the category of Flat Products and Long Products.
Per capita consumption of steel in India is only about 60 Kg as compared toa world average of 217 Kg and China’s 510 Kg. Being a developing country,the consumption in the country shall increase every year creating a gooddemand over the coming years.
The country’s steel production and consumption is likely to remain higher in2017-18 from 89.79 MT of crude steel during 2015-16 backed by anincrease in infrastructure allocation in the budget.
In 2017-18, steel production is expected to remain higher. This will bebacked by an expected revival in consumption. An increase in infrastructureallocation by the government in the Union Budget 2017-18 is expected todrive the pace of construction and infrastructure in the country.
Steel production in the world is dominated by China followed by Japan.During 2015-16, crude steel output of China stood at 789.04 MT and forJapan it stood at 104.23 MT. In 2016-17, production of these steelproducing countries (excluding India) remained subdued even during April-
December 2016 on a y-o-y basis. While crude steel output in China, Japanand Russia grew by mere 0.5-3%, output in US remained flat and that inSouth Korea declined by 1.3%.
In contrast, crude steel production in India rose by 8.8% to 72.35 MT duringthis period. This was on account of higher output by the major Indian steelcompanies. The imposition of Minimum Import Price (MIP) encouraged theproducers to increase their output.
Post-demonetisation, steel consumption is expected to remain underpressure in the coming few months to a certain extent. This is because it islikely that the demand for steel from the user industries like construction,real estate will take some time to strengthen. However, government pushtowards infrastructure will compensate for this reduction in demand, itadded.Source : Live Mint E paper
iv. Demand– supply Gap
The National Steel Policy 2017, released by the government, also aims toincrease steel production. Thus, both production and consumption of steelis expected to remain buoyant in future. The country has gained theposition of third largest crude steel producer in the world and is largelyfocusing on increasing production. However, focus at the same time shouldbe on increasing consumption of steel and reducing the dependence oncheap imports.
v. Imports Vs Indigenous production.
Since this is a captive mine to JSW Steel Limited, entire production will beutilized for the JSW Steel Plant.
vi. Export possibility
At present, the material produced is proposed to be transported to M/s JSWSteel Plant for its own captive use. Hence no export possibility exists.
vii. Domestic / export markets
The Iron Ore produced from the subject mine will be used for captiveconsumption in the steel plants of JSW.
viii. Employment generation (direct and indirect) due to the project.
Vice president, Mines (JSW Steel Limited) heads the central mineorganization followed by senior mining professionals (GM, DGM) and MinesManager holding 1st class Certificate of competency. This mine will provideemployment to 264 people and proposes to generate indirect employment to
around 300 people. Most of the work force employed by the lessee are formine supervision.

CHAPTER – 6PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE
6.0 Proposed infrastructure
i. Industrial area (processing area)
Fully mechanized open cast method of mining by drilling and blasting andby deploying HEMM equipments like hydraulic drills and excavators, wheelloaders, dumpers, will be undertaken. To make optimum exploitation of themineral deposit, the mine will be developed by making benches with aheight of 8m and width of 15m will be maintained with keeping thenecessary berm width. The bench slope angle will be maintained at 700-800
with an overall pit slope angle of 450. The working of benches will becommenced from top and extended to bottom benches while the directionof advancement will be towards western as well as eastern side of theproposed working area. The ROM excavated is proposed to be processed inthe crushing and screening plants to obtain the lump and fine ore asproduct mix.
In order to achieve the targeted production, the different mining activities inthis mine will be done in daylight hours
Extent of Mechanization
As proposed above, fully mechanized method of working will be adopted forthis mine. For the plan period, production of Iron ore of 1.5 MTPA has beenplanned. This envisages handling of 6.09 million tonnes (maximum duringthe plan period) of waste per year.
In order to achieve the targeted production, the different mining activitieswill be planned during the daylight hours (from 6 AM to 6 PM). The effectiveworking hours will be nine and that is used to calculate the fleet of miningmachineries. The recovery of ore involves removal of over–burden/sideburden removal and processing of ROM. By adopting, a combination ofDrilling, Excavation, Hauling, Crushing & Screening, Loading andTransporting machinery will be used. Further ancillary machinery like watersprinklers, road graders, dozers, weighing machine etc., will also bedeployed.
R&R Measures for Area proposed
(1) Measures for the management of OB dumps (DumpManagement Plan)
In order to stabilize waste dumps, toe wall at its toe and catch water drains(garland drains) and silt arresting structures should be constructed as perdesign. The height of the dumps and their terraces would be strictly
maintained as per the design permitted for the purpose in the statutoryclearances such as E.C., Mining Plan, Scheme of Mining, etc. Freshdumping of waste would be carried out by adopting retreating methodstarting from bottom and reaching up to the top by creating terraces atevery 10 m height with a top width of 6-8 m. Berms would be provided atthe toe of each terrace to avoid water flow over the dump slopes. Wherevernecessary, garland drains should be provided and connected to the verticaldrains and finally to the check dams followed by Silt Settling Tanks (SSTs)to control run-off from the slopes. Haul road and mine approach road wouldalso be provided with stone pitched drains. Inactive dumps would bevegetated with suitable plantation immediately after the terraces are made.All the plantation activities would preferably be taken up during monsoonseasons to enjoy the benefit of rainwater for the same. Geo-textile/coir matmay be opted for the dumps which are having adverse conditions like steepslopes, poor soil fertility and instability and lack of moisture content. Thiswill also enable to achieve good growth of vegetation cover over the dumpslopes. Enriched plantation may also be adopted on top flat area andsloping area depending upon the condition.
i) Existing Waste/ Over Burden Dumps
There are three OB dumps i.e. ROM-1, ROM-2 and inactive dump (ID)mixed with waste OB material ROM boulders, located within the ML area.ROM-1 is on eastern side and ROM-2 is on western side of the ML area. Thedump height varies from 5 to 10 m and slope angle is 45 to 50 degrees. Thedumps are partially covered with natural vegetation of Chromolaenaodorata, Lantana camara, Tecoma stans, Calotropis gigantea and otherherbs. ID is a very small dump lying within the pit and need to be re-handled during mining operation. The waste dumps should be rehabilitatedby adopting suitable measures. However, a toe wall and garland for ROM-1has been proposed to protect its further erosion to outside the lease area.
ii) Engineering measures for waste dumps (as per R&Rplan prepared by ICFRE)
Toe Wall: It is proposed at the toe of the dump to protect the material fromerosion. Also, it is provided with weep holes at 1x1m grid points on its bodyto facilitate seepage of water. The RR stone masonry cement sand mortartoe wall of a height of 3.0 m are proposed for the waste dumps in the leasearea, while, RR dry toe wall of a height of 2.0 m is proposed. Altogether, 8TWs are proposed for the management of waste dumps in the ML area(Design-1).Garland Drains (Catch Water Drains): The GDs are proposed 1-2 m belowthe toe wall to collect the discharging runoff water at the toe of dump andto carry it safely to SST tanks followed by natural water courses. It shouldhave 2.0 m top width, 1.0 m bottom width and 1.0 m depth. A total numberof 8 GDs are proposed for the management of waste dumps in the ML area(Design-2).
Geo-textile/ Coir mat: As the encroached waste dumps EID-3 and ID-4are too large and are located on a
steeply sloping terrain, there is an ample chance of further deteriorationof the dump. Therefore, it is proposed to protect the dump (IDs/EIDs)slopes from erosion/runoff by employing geo-textile/coir matting in anapproximately 5.0 Ha area after terracing their slope to approximate height(10m) and width (6-8m).
(2) Surface Water Management Plan
Naturally, no rain water accumulates in the lease area. The rain water flowsfrom hill slopes usually does not accumulate till it reaches the lower valleys.Hence, the drainage pattern is sub- dendritic in nature and is typical of thehilly areas of this region.
There are 12 nalas existing in and around the ML area. 2 nalas are runningon northern side of lease area Block-1 and blocked by OB Dump, anothernala originating from N-E side of lease area, 2 nallas originating from S-Ecorner of lease area and all are joined together at northern side of lease areaemptying into narihalla stream. Another 3 nallas are originating fromwestern cliff of the lease area joining and flowing towards north emptyinginto Narihalla stream and finally into Daroji tank. From ML area of Block-II,3 nallas are originating towards and north-east and are emptying into atank near Marutla Village. The nallas from western side of ML area Block-IIflowing towards north and joining downstream of Narihalla stream andfinally emptying into Daroji tank.
The proposed engineering measures for the surface water management of theML area are given in Table – 2.
Check Dams:i.) Loose Boulder Check Dam (LBCD): The LBCDs are Random Rubble Dry
Stone. Masonry in nature and are usually proposed for gullies having awidth of about 5-10 m and bed slope of less than 10%. A total numberof 200 LBCDs are proposed for the nalas.
ii.) Gabion (Wire crate) Check Dam (GCD): This structure is usually proposedfor gullies having a bed slope of more than 10% and a high dischargerate. Gabion check dams are very useful in the areas where sedimentload is very high and are very cost effective for the reclamation of mineareas and waste lands. Altogether, 16 GCDs are proposed for the nalasin the ML area.

iv.) Brush Wood Check Dam (BWCD): A total number of 500 BWCDs areproposed. These structures are to be implemented at the conceptualstage in the ML area
v.) Log Wood Check Dam (LWCD): A total number of 280 LWCDs areproposed. These structures are to be implemented at the conceptualstage in the ML area.
Water harvesting structures:
i) Rain Water Harvesting Pit (RWHP): The function of the RWHPis to recharge ground water by harvesting runoff along the nalas. Atotal number of 5 RWHPs are proposed for the nalas in the leasearea.
ii) Silt Settling Tank (SST): The function of SST is to protect therunoff of the mine from carrying silted water outside the ML area asit enables settling of silt in the runoff water. 3 SSTs is proposed inthe nala to which connect the runoff from the proposed temporarydump (TD-1) at the plan period.
iii) Silt Trap(ST): This is useful to prevent silt and sediment fromentering into area from outside ML area through surface water run-off. One ST of a dimension of 10x5x2 is proposed for nala N3 in thearea.
AFFORESTATION
After excluding the area finally classified under green belt and road(7.38+1.50=8.88 ha), the area to be afforested in ML-2365 at the conceptualstage of the mine has been worked out to be 121.65 ha (i.e., 130.53– 8.88).The afforestation covering 1000 trees and 2500 shrubs per ha, inclusive ofmaintenance for five years has been worked out as per the norms of StateForest Department, Karnataka.
Work of afforestation will be carried out in close coordination with the StateForest Department, Karnataka, utilizing local people and the periodicalmonitoring will also be carried out, in co-ordination with state agencies.
Afforestation shall be made through:
Propagules (seeds, tubers, corms, bulbs, rhizomes and roots) storedin the topsoil; and sowing seed;
Planting nursery-raised seedlings By seed dibbling
Silt accumulated in silt settling tanks/check dams etc. can beremoved and could be used after mixing with FYM and sand in theratio 2:1:1. This mixture could be used for plantation.
ii. Residential area (non-processing area)
