Environmental AspectsAir EnvironmentWater EnvironmentNoise EnvironmentAforestationDevelopment work was carried top-down and pit slopevaries in-between 55 to 70 0 .Bench heights were maintained in between 3 to 6 meters.Bench widths were maintained between 2.8 to 5 meters.The management has provided the workers with protectivegears which were limited to helmets and breathing masksonly.Drinking water, first-aid-kit and pit latrine were availableat the mining site.The management has not provided disposal facilitates forsanitary waste.Top soil was not stored separately but it was disposedalong with the overburden.The overburden generation was very high. Overburdenwas disposed downhill in an identified waste dump-yardin the pit plan.Pit slope was between 60-65 0 , no benching.The overburden inclusive of undersize and rejects weredisposed-off at the pre-determine site.Check dam made out of gabion wall was constructed atthe base of the dump-yard.The management has not carried out monitoring of air,water and noise at the mining site.The mine has been in operation for about 5years and noafforestation is done.5.
