form corridor for Schedule-I fauna. In support of this, the project proponent hasfurnished a map duly authenticated by DFO and Wildlife Warden, Boani Division. TheTorha RF and Amrohi RF are in the buffer zone of the mine. The mine working will beopencast by semi-mechanised method involving drilling and blasting. The targettedproduction capacity of the mine is 0.864million TPA of iron ore and life of mine is15years. Approximately 3000TPD of mineral will be transported through road. Mineralbeneficiation is not a part of the project; however, sizing and screening of the ore will becarried out in the lease area. The topography of the area is hilly at an..2/-elevation ranging from 300m-840m AMSL. The ultimate working depth of mine will be658m RL. The ground water table reported to prevail at 670m RL and the mine workingwill, therefore, go beyond water table. The water requirement of the project is estimatedas 64.5m 3 per day, out of which 14m 3 per day will be sourced from the groundwater andremaining 50.5m 3 per day will be met from the surface water. One revenue villagenamely Raikela, having no population is in the core zone of the mine, however, nodisplacement of population and R&R is involved. Approximately 16,000m 3 per monthof solid waste comprising 12,000m 3 per month of over burden (ferruginous laterite)4,000m 3 per month of sub grade ore will be generated, which will be stacked in theearmarked areas. It is estimated that 21,44,567m 3 of waste will be generated during themine life, out of which 8,17,002m 3 will be disposed off in the form of external dumpand 13,27,565m 3 will be backfilled in 7ha of mined out area. Plantation will be raised inan area of 20.276ha at the end of the mine life. The public hearing of the project washeld on 20.10.2005. The consent to establish from the State Pollution Control Board,Orissa obtained on 31.01.2006 for production of 72000TPM of iron ore involving leasearea of 64.068ha. The Indian Bureau of Mines had approved scheme of mining alongwith the progressive mine closure plan of the project on 17.02.2005 for lease area of67.586ha. The capital cost of the project is Rs.981.4Lakhs.2. The Ministry of Environment and Forests has examined the application inaccordance with Section 12 of the EIA Notification, 2006 read with para 1.2 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 RaikelaIron Ore Mining Project of M/s Geetarani Mohanty for an annual production capacity of0.864million tonnes of iron ore(ROM) by opencast semi-mechanized method involvingmining lease area of 67.586ha, subject to implementation of the following conditions andenvironmental safeguards.A. Specific conditions(i)(ii)All the conditions stipulated by the State Pollution Control Board, Orissa in theirconsent to establish shall be effectively implemented.Necessary forestry clearance under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 for anarea of 66.671ha is forestland shall be obtained before starting mining operationin that area. Environmental clearance is subject to grant of forestry clearance.60
(iii)(iv)(v)(vi)(vii)The mining operations shall be restricted to 2m above the reported water table i.e.672m RL and it should not intersect groundwater table...3/-In case of working below ground water table, prior approval of the Ministry ofEnvironment and Forests and Central Ground Water Authority shall be obtained,for which a detailed hydro-geological study shall be carried out.The project proponent shall ensure that no natural watercourse and/or waterresources shall be obstructed due to any mining operations.The top soil, if any, shall temporarily be stored at earmarked site(s) only and itshould not be kept unutilized for a period more than 3years. The topsoil shall beused for land reclamation and plantation.The over burden (OB) generated during the mining operation shall be stacked atearmarked dump site(s) only and should not be kept active for long period oftime. Proper terracing of OB dump shall be carried out so that the overall slopeshall not exceed 28 degree. Out of the total 21,44,567m 3 of waste to be generatedduring the mine life, 8,17,002m 3 shall be disposed off in the form of externaldump and 13,27,565m 3 shall be backfilled in 7ha of mined out area. Thebackfilled area shall be afforested. The over burden dumps shall be scientificallyvegetated with suitable native species to prevent erosion and surface run off. Incritical areas, use of geo textiles shall be undertaken for stabilization of thedumps. Monitoring and management of rehabilitated areas should continue untilthe vegetation becomes self-sustaining. Compliance status should be submitted tothe Ministry of Environment & Forests and its Regional Office located atBhubaneswar on six monthly basis.Catch drains and siltation ponds of appropriate size shall be constructed aroundthe working pit(s), mineral and OB dumps to prevent run off of water and flow ofsediments directly into the Suna Nallah, Karo nallah, rivers and water bodies. Thewater so collected should be utilized for watering the mine area, roads, green beltdevelopment etc. The drains should be regularly desilted particularly aftermonsoon and maintained properly.Garland drains, settling tanks and check dams of appropriate size, gradientand length shall be constructed both around the mine pit and temporary overburden dumps to prevent run off of water and flow of sediments directly into theSuna Nallah, Karo nallah, rivers and water bodies and sump capacity should bedesigned keeping 50% safety margin over and above peak sudden rainfall (basedon 50 years data) and maximum discharge in the area adjoining the mine site.Sump capacity should also provide adequate retention period to allow propersettling of silt material. Sedimentation pits should be constructed at the corners ofthe garland drains and desilted at regular intervals...4/-61
