4. Environmental AspectsAir EnvironmentWater EnvironmentNoise EnvironmentThe management has not carried out monitoring of air,water and noise at the mining site.The mine had been in operation for about 5months.5. Approach/AccessRoad ConditionsWater Drainage System6. Environment and ProgressiveRestorationRestorationEnvironmental BondA seasonal approach road to the mining area takes-offfrom Samtse-Sibsoo highway at Diana Bridge, whichis about 19 km.The approach road passes though the private landbefore reaching the mining area.There is no side drain and cross drain to channel thesurface water.The progressive restoration was mostly focused onconstruction of check dam only.Environmental bond still to be updated.7. Others About 44 workers were employed.Diphujora village lies below the mine which was about100 meters aerial distance.A water supply pipeline passes from top of mine.1.16 RecommendationSince, the mine is located at the gully; any loose material could be easily washed away ifthere is a heavy down pour. This could also affect the village which lies at an aerialdistance of about 100 meters downstream. To prevent and avoid such incident, themanagement has to continue the construction of proper channeling of surface water andcomplete before the onset of monsoon.As maintained, the management should prevent from touching top portion of the minewhere drinking water supply line is connected.The management has to construct uniform benches and widths as mentioned in the FMFSand EMP including waste dump-yard.The management has to provide sanitation facilities and first-aid –kit for the workers at thesite.Prior to the ceasing of the mining operation, the management should develop a projectproposal on environment restoration plan which is submitted to DGM and NECS forapproval and execute the same as approved.48

Overburdenwas disposed downhill in an identified waste dumpyardin the pit plan.Check dam made out of gabion wall was underconstruction at the base of the dump-yard.49
