17. Trenches / garland drains shall be constructed at foot of dumps and coco filters installed at
regular intervals to arrest silt from being carried to water bodies. Adequate number of
Check Dams and Gully Plugs shall be constructed across seasonal/perennial nallahs, if any
flowing through the ML area and silts arrested. De silting at regular intervals shall be carried
out.
18. Garland drain of appropriate size, gradient and length shall be constructed for both mine pit
and for waste dump and sump capacity shall be designed keeping 50% safety margin over
and above peak sudden rainfall (based on 50 years data) and maximum discharge in the area
adjoining the mine site. Sump capacity shall also provide adequate retention period to allow
proper settling of silt material. Sedimentation pits shall be constructed at the corners of the
garland drains and de silted at regular intervals.
19. Ground and surface water, if any in and near the core zone (within 5.0 km of the lease) shall
be regularly monitored for contamination and depletion due to mining activity and records
maintained. The monitoring data shall be submitted to the Regional Office, MoEF, GoI,
Lucknow and U.P.Pollution Control Board regularly. Further, monitoring points shall be
located between the mine and drainage in the direction of flow of ground water shall be set up
and records maintained.
20. Fugitive dust generation shall be controlled. Fugitive dust emission shall be regularly monitored
at locations of nearest human habitation (including schools and other public amenities
located nearest to sources of dust generation as applicable) and records submitted to the
Regional Office, MoEF, GoI, Lucknow and U.P.Pollution Control Board regularly.
21. Baseline data for ambient air quality shall be generated and maintained and RSPM level in
ambient air in the nearby human habitation (villages) shall also be monitored along with
other parameters.
22. Transportation of minerals shall be done by covering the trucks with tarpaulin or other suitable
mechanism so that no spillage of mineral/dust takes place.
23. Occupational health and safety measures for the workers including identification of work
related health hazards, training on malaria eradication, HIV, and health effects on exposure to
mineral dust etc. shall be carried out. Periodic monitoring for exposure to respirable mineral
dust on the workers shall be conducted and records maintained including health records of the
workers. Awareness programme for workers on impact of mining on their health and
precautionary measures like use of personal equipments etc. shall be carried out periodically.
Review of impact of various health measures shall be conducted followed by follow up action
wherever required.
24. The project proponent will ensure for providing employment to local people as per requirement,
necessary protection measures around the mine pit and waste dump and garland drain around
the mine pit and waste dump.
25. Top soil / solid waste shall be stacked properly with proper slope and adequate safeguards and
shall be utilized for backfilling (wherever applicable) for reclamation and rehabilitation of
mined out area. Top soil shall be separately stacked for utilization later for reclamation and
shall not be stacked along with over burden.
26. Over burden (OB) shall be stacked at earmarked dump site(s) only and shall not be kept active
for long period. The maximum height of the dump shall not exceed 20 m, each stage shall
preferably be of maximum 10 m and overall slope of the dump shall not exceed 35o. The OB
dump shall be backfilled. The OB dumps shall be scientifically vegetated with suitable native
species to prevent erosion and surface run off.

27. Monitoring and management of rehabilitated areas shall continue until the vegetation becomes
self sustaining. Compliance status shall be submitted to the Regional Office, Ministry of
Environment & Forests, GoI, Lucknow and U.P.Pollution Control Board on six monthly basis.
28. Slope of the mining bench and ultimate pit limit shall be as per the mining scheme approved by
Indian Bureau of Mines.
29. Permission for abstraction of ground water shall be taken from Central Ground Water Board.
Regular monitoring of ground and surface water sources for level and quality shall be carried
out by establishing a network of existing wells and constructing new piezometers
during the mining operation. The monitoring shall be carried out four times in a year i.e.
premonsoon (AprilMay), monsoon (August), postmonsoon (November) and winter (January)
and the data thus collected shall be regularly sent to MoEF, Central Ground Water Authority
and Regional Director, Central Ground Water Board.
30. The waste water from the mine shall be treated to conform to the prescribed standards
before discharging in to the natural stream. The discharged water from the Tailing Dam, if
any shall be regularly monitored and report submitted to the Regional Office, Ministry of
Environment & Forests, GoI, Lucknow, Central Pollution Control Board and the State Pollution
Control Board.
31. Hydro geological study of the area shall be reviewed by the project proponent annually.
In case adverse effect on ground water quality and quantity is observed mining shall be
stopped and resumed only after mitigating steps to contain any adverse impact on ground
water is implemented.
32. Vehicular emissions shall be kept under control and regularly monitored. Vehicles used for
transportation of minerals and others shall have valid permissions as prescribed under
Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989 and its amendments. The vehicles transporting
