During SEAC meeting held on 01/06/2016,Project proponent represented that application for EC is made on 10/05/2016.Project proponent has submitted approved mining plan. He informed the committee that mining will be a shallow and not obstructing surface run off and there will be no diversion of surface run off. There will be no creation of waste dump in present mining. Stone after lavigation will be back filled in mined out pits and levelled. Chalk will be excavated manually by pick axes and JCB excavators. As there is negligible soil cover, soil contamination will not be there. The overburden i.e. topsoil, generated will be used to back fill mined out pit. The open voids will be properly barricaded to prevent casualty. Waste will be temporary stored near to levigation site and after completion of operation, the reject or waste will be dumped into mined out area. All the trucks will be covered to prevent fugitive emission. Regular water sprinkling on haulage roads will be carried out during transportation of material by water sprinklers. Water requirement of 10.0 KLD for the proposed project activity will be met by water tankers supply from nearby village source. Tube well outside the lease area will provide the water for drinking purposes. Accumulated rainwater in mined out pits will be used for sprinkling on haul roads for dust suppression and mineral levigation. There will be no intersection of ground water table as mining depth is maintained above water table. The fencing will be provided surrounding to the mined out pits to prevent casualty. The above proposal was categorized as B2 as per the amended EIA Notification

2016.After presentation, committee asked Project proponent to submit the details

regarding formation of cluster of homogenous mineral. During meeting, committee

noted that the lease is issued to PP on 21/05/1993 and hence vide amendment in

Mining plan including progressive mining closure plan approved by IMB is submitted by the PP. There are no other homogenous minerals mines within 500 meter radius from the lease boundary hence no possibility of formation of cluster.A garland drain and earthen bunds will be provided to avoid any inflow of surface water into the mine pit or runoff from mine.Jack hammer will be adopted to avoid drilling & blasting. Dust will be generated from transportation and sizing which will be minimized by taking preventive measures by sprinkling of water at mining area & mine road. Dust masks will be provided to all workers for precaution. Limestone in the lease area is exposed to surface without any soil and overburden cover. Hence waste generation will be nil in the mine area. However, the undersized which is generated during mining stored on pit bottom and will be taken out before end of mining.Mined out pit will be used as water reservoirs after closure of mine and having proper fencing, security arrangement & stabilized bund. There is no O/B or waste material available in the lease. Therefore, backfilling of pit is not possible. The mined out area will be developed as water collection pond to store rain water and covered by wire fencing. The area is devoid of sufficient quantum of overburden to reclaim the mined out voids. Therefore, backfilling of pit is not possible. The mined out area will be developed as water collection pond to store rain water. A protecting barbed fencing will be provided to prevent entry of men & animals. Water consumption will be 2 KLPD ( Domestic: 500 litre/day, Green belt: 1000 litre/day, Dust suppression: 500 litre/day)and will be brought through tankers. Used pit will be used as water reservoirs after closure of mine and having proper fencing. Proposed mining will not intersect the water table.PP informed that medical examination is undertaken every six months for every workers. Around 0.20 Lakhs recurring cost/annum earmarked for environment pollution control measures mainly for greenbelt development & occupational health.PP informed that there is no litigation pending against the proposed mining lease.Company will develop reporting systems of non-compliances/ violations of environmental norms to the Lessee.

After presentation, committee noted that copy of renewed lease/lease renewal status from department of Industries and Mine. Government of Gujarat is not submitted which was sought earlier. A discrepancy for national highway and state highway is also observed as both the highways are mentioned as Somnath-Una highway located at 300 meter from the proposed lease. Committee also asked PP to submit month-wise details of production for the year 2016. An undertaking regarding blasting is also sought by the committee. After deliberation, committee asked PP to submit aforementioned details within 30 days so as to consider the above proposal in one of the upcoming SEAC meeting expeditiously.

PP informed that lease area is considered as gently sloping so it is not an erosion

prone area.There is no permanent overburden/ reject dumps in the lease area. This

is a limestone mine and there is no contaminated runoff from the mine terrain. There

are no surface water bodies also in the vicinity of the lease area and hence the

proposed mining will not affect surface water bodies.

Noise at the mine is due to mechanized mining operations and truck

transportation activities. The noise generated by the mining activity dissipates within

the mine. There is no regular blasting and also the villages are located far off from

the mine workings. Hence the impact of blasting on the surrounding villages will be

minimal.

Use of Personal Protection Equipments (PPE) like dust masks, ear plugs etc. will be

provided to the mine workers. Rock breaker will be used for breaking over size

boulders in order to reduce dust and noise generation, which otherwise would be

generated due to secondary blasting.

Regular water sprinkling on haul roads & loading points will be carried out.

Development of green belt/plantation around the lease boundary, roads, dumps will

be made. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring is proposed to be conducted on regularly

basis to assess the quality of ambient air. All the haul roads will be kept properly

graded and maintained with sufficient width. The vehicles deployed for material

transportation will be spillage proof to avoid or minimize the spillage of the

material during transportation. In any case, the transportation links are to be

inspected at least twice daily to clear accidental spillage, if any.For the proposed

mining scheme, it is suggested that the waste generated during scheme period will

be stacked at pit floor, no overburden is generated during mine scheme period, no

external dumps will be developed due to mining, and hence the problem of disposal

of waste will not be there. Mined out pit cannot be backfilled to original ground level

therefore mined out land will be used as a water reservoir. An area of 3.9762 ha of

mined out area will be converted into water reservoir with proper fencing. The

working will go by semi-mechanized opencast method of mining.

Page 33 of 54

Water for domestic and operations is required to be 5.80 KLD. It is proposed to

obtain water for drinking from nearby villages. Necessary permission from Village

Panchayat is obtained.

The proposed working of the mine is very much above the water table and hence it

will not intersect the ground water table.

Surface water management shall be adopted within and outside lease area to ensure

that run off from the mining area does not adversely affect nearby water bodies or

natural water streams. During monsoon, adequate arrangements will be made to

ensure that water drains out naturally. PP informed that there is no litigation pending

against this project.

After technical presentation committee asked PP to submit following details and

decided to consider the proposal in one of the upcoming SEAC meeting.

1. Month-wise production details for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 with current

operational status of mining lease.
