Environment <strong>and</strong>Progressive RestorationRestorationEnvironmental BondNo check dam was constructed.Mine was not in full operation.Approach road to the mine takes-off from Samtse-Sibsoohighway from the Diana Bridge <strong>and</strong> is about 6 km to themine area. The approach road was seasonal in nature.Mine was not in full operation.Environment Bond deposited Nu. 4,09,000.007. Others There was huge outcrop at the top of the mine about 700meters in height <strong>and</strong> facing opposite side on same hilllock, there was a settlement.Boundary pillar might have pass through the private l<strong>and</strong>on the opposite site.On the right h<strong>and</strong> side of the mine, a l<strong>and</strong>slide hasoccurred, which has more or less stabilized. The sameslide has continued to the base of the mine.There was no electricity.1.8 RecommendationOn the same hillock facing opposite site, there is settlement. Also the boundary pillarpasses through their l<strong>and</strong>. In-order to ensure that mining operation does not affect thesettlement, continuous monitoring is necessary.Pit slope mining area <strong>and</strong> waste disposal site is in-between 55 to 80 0 . The management hasto operate the mine <strong>and</strong> dispose the waste in such a way, that it is easier to attend the finalpit slope of 45 0 .As per the environmental clearance, the check dam has to constructed, prior to theoperation of the mine. So-far there is no sign of check dam being constructed as mentionedin the pit plan. The management has to construct the check-dam first.The management should ensure that top soil is preserved <strong>for</strong> future restoration works.By looking at the nature of the deposit, generation of undersize materials may be quitesubstantial. The management may have to blasting charge to minimize generation ofundersize materials.33
