Khalpadar Graphite Mining Project of M/s T.P.Minerals (P) Ltd. located in Village Khalpadar, TehsilMuniguda, District Rayagada, Orissa -environmentalclearance reg.No.J-11015/851/2007-IA.II (M)Government of IndiaMinistry of Environment & ForestsParyavaran Bhawan,C.G.O. Complex, Lodi Road,New Delhi ? 110 003ToM/s T.P. Minerals (P) Ltd.Hospital Road,Sambalpur,Orissa-768002Dated the 17 th July, 2008Subject: Khalpadar Graphite Mining Project of M/s T.P.Minerals (P) Ltd. located in Village Khalpadar, TehsilMuniguda, District Rayagada, Orissa -environmentalclearance reg.Sir,This has reference to your letter No. ?Nil? dated 10.07.2006 and subsequentletters dated 19.02.2008, 09.04.2008, 16.04.2008 and 19.04.2008 on the subjectmentioned above. The proposal is for opening of a new mine for production of1500tonnes per annum (TPA) of graphite. The total mine lease area of the project is29.437ha, out of which 4.233ha is an agricultural land, 22.028ha is wasteland, 2.375ha isgrazing land and 0.801ha is road. No forestland is involved. Area proposed for mining is1.3ha, an area of 0.1ha is kept for storage of top soil, 0.5ha for over burden dumps, 0.1hafor mineral storage, 0.05ha for infrastructure, 0.2ha for roads, 0.75ha for green belt and26.437ha is others (untouched area). There is no nallah/river flowing through the minelease area. The Barha Nallah, a tributary of Vansadhara River is located at a distance of1km from the mine lease boundary. No national park/wildlife sanctuary/biospherereserve/tiger reserve/elephant reserve etc. is reported to be located in the core and bufferzone of the mine and that the area does not report to form corridor for Schedule-I fauna.A map in support of this has been provided through DFO Raigarh Division. Nine ReserveForests namely Sorisapadar RF, Bamunidanga RF, Dhepagurha RF, Kudilima RF,Dahikala RF, Karhaghati RF, Tarabarhi RF, Taimagurhi RF and Deokupuli RF are in thebuffer zone of the mine. The mine working will be opencast by manual method withoutinvolving drilling and blasting. The targetted production capacity of the mine is 1500TPA52
(0.0015million TPA) of graphite. The life of the mine is 12years. Approximately 5TPDof mineral will be transported through road. The topography of the area is flat at anelevation of 380m AMSL. The ultimate working depth of mine will be 341m AMSL(10m bgl). Groundwater table is at 321m AMSL. The mine Working will not intersectgroundwater table. There is no population in the core zone, therefore, no displacement ofpopulation and R&R is involved. The peak water requirement of the project is estimatedas 10.5m 3 per day, which will be sourced from the..2/-surface water. Approximately 171.44m 3 per month of solid waste comprising 21.69m 3per month of topsoil (lateritic soil), 103.74m 3 per month of over burden (khondalite,migmatite) and 46.013m 3 per month of subgrade ore will be generated, which will bedumped in the earmarked areas. It is estimated that 2192.35m 3 of top soil, 17196.75m 3 ofwaste rocks and 5261.5m 3 of subgrade ore will be generated during the life of the mine,which will be disposed off in the form of external dump(s). Backfiiling has not beenproposed. Plantation will be raised in an area of 2.05ha at the end of the mine life. Thepublic hearing of the project was held on 27.12.2005 for production of 1500TPA ofgraphite over an area of 29.437ha. The Consent to Establish from the State PollutionControl Board, Orissa obtained on 10.03.2006 for production of 1500TPA of graphiteinvolving lease area of 29.437ha. The Indian Bureau of Mines had approved mining planincluding progressive mine closure plan of the project on 15.10.2004 for lease area of29.437ha. The capital cost of the project is Rs.20Lakhs.2. The Ministry of Environment and Forests has examined the application inaccordance with Section 12 of the EIA Notification, 2006 read with para 2.2.1(i)(a) of theCircular No.J-11013/41/2006-IA.II(I) dated 13.10.2006 and hereby accordsenvironmental clearance under the provisions thereof to the above mentioned KhalpadarGraphite Mining Project of M/s T.P. Minerals (P) Ltd. for an annual production capacityof 1500tonnes (0.0015million tonnes) of graphite by opencast manual method involvingtotal mining lease area of 29.437ha, subject to implementation of the followingconditions and environmental safeguards.A. Specific Conditions(i)(ii)(iii)All the conditions stipulated by the State Pollution Control Board in their Consentto Establish shall be effectively implemented.The mining operations shall be restricted to above ground water table and itshould not intersect groundwater table. Prior approval of the Ministry ofEnvironment & Forests and Central Ground Water Authority shall be obtained formining below water table.The project proponent shall ensure that no natural watercourse and/or waterresources shall be obstructed due to any mining operations.53
