In order to assess the likely impacts on environment due to proposed plant the company

has appointed M/s Enviro Techno Consult (ETC), Nagpur an accredited as EIA consultant

under the scheme of QCI-NABET.

1.4 Purpose of the Report

Environmental clearance is a statutory requirement for the establishment of any project of

which EIA has to be prepared and submitted to respective regulatory authorities. For

Obtaining Environmental Clearance (EC) the company applied to Ministry of Environment

& Forest (MoEF), Govt. of India, New Delhi vide there letter dtd. 20.06.2012 for grant of

EC, a presentation has been given on 21.11.2012 before Expert Appraisal Committed

(EAC) of MoEF. The MoEF has issued us TOR vide letter No. J-11015/208/2012-IA.II (M)

dated 12.02.2013 In line with ToR issued by the MoEF, a draft Environmental Impact

Assessment (EIA) report is prepared, covering baseline data during October to December

2013.

1.5 Process:

� Capacity of existing plant is increased by enhancing working shift.

� The existing capacity of plant is 200 TPH

� Low grade iron ore (45 - 53%) will be beneficiated to increase the iron content.


� In the output, Washed Fines will be about 70% and Discards will be about 30%.

� Discards will have 17 - 20% iron content and shall be given to bricks manufactures

within 50km radius, it can also be used to fill the abandoned mine pits in nearby area.

1.6 Plant Process details:

In plant process first of all raw material grade is tested in our lab and then dumped into

hopper from then with the help of belt conveyor the raw material having 45 to 52% of Fe

is taken into plant operation. In which at first screening is done by which under sized

materiel (-5mm) is separated and over sized materiel (+5 to 60mm) after being crushed

goes into plant process and total raw material in plant process with the help of ball mill (-

1mm) sized materiel goes through two stages cycloning in which lighter particle being

separated goes into tailing thickener whose Fe% is in between 25 to 30. Now the heavy

materiel in cyclone having max. Percentage of Fe being separated coming into moisture

reducing screen is obtained having 10 to 12% moisture retains Fe% (58 to 62%). It

depends upon the input raw material and recovery is 60 to 70% as such 40 to 30% input

materiel is recovered goes into tailing whose Fe% is in between 25 to 30% this tailing

materiel is recovered from 3’’ cyclone.

2. Ground Water : accumulation in deeper strata of ground

The study area is having Hiren River as the surface water sources. The Hiren River is in

the upstream North direction flowing from East to West direction.


1.10 Noise Environment:

Noise is known to produce various temporary changes in the physiological state of the

human beings. Noises in an industry originate from the process causing impact, vibration

or reciprocation moment, friction and turbulence in air or gas streams. Noise is one of the

mentioned as one of the elements in the Environmental Protection Act 1986, giving the

maximum allowable limits during day and night times. Ambient noise standards

prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board are furnished.

Domestic Animals

The animal husbandry is an important as the agriculture. Roughly about 40% animals

comprises of cows, buffalos and goats. 30% cocks and hens, pigs and others 30% other live

stocks. Animal live stocks and census reveals that about 20% of total animals are used in

plough or carting activity and the rest are for economic activities like: poultry forming,

milk selling and egg production.

1.13 Amenities Available

Education:

In the study area high schools are available for the Higher secondary schools are available

at Sihora Tehsil and Jabalapur Districts which is 12km and 27 km respectively from

project site.

Health Care Facilities:

The project proponents shall provide facilities for medical check-up of its workers and

employees through a visiting Physician. They will also provide first-aid facilities at plant

time office. If necessary and in case of emergency, the medical aid can also be provided by

hospitals situated at Jabalpur which is nearly 27 Kms. from Proposed plant.

Transport:

The National Highy No. 7 is 0.7 km from the project site and all season transportation are

available for any destination.

1.14 Anticipated Impact and Mitigation Measures:

Wastewater management

• Water trapped in tailings is likely to be 40-50% of total through put. This will be

reclaimed for reuse. Tailings will be pumped to a thickener.

• Sludge from thickener will have 30-35 % solids w/w consistency. Sludge will be

pumped to a ‘Tailing/Water Reclamation pond’ for settling. Water will be

decanted.


• Settling ponds will need a substantial area since settling rate will be low.

• Water recovery in decantation wells is likely to be 90%.

• It is expected that 1275m3/day water will be recovered out of the initial input

@ 1500m3/day. In other words fresh water requirement would be restricted to

only 225 m3/day.

Air Pollution Control Measures:

• Predicted values show that activities within factory would not affect ambient air

quality beyond 82 m and pollutants would remain within lease premises.

• Their travel beyond factory premises would be arrested by green belt along the

plant boundary.

• Nevertheless dust control by water sprinkling, installation of dust eviction

equipment has been installed. Paved roads within factory are proposed.

• There has been cyclone separators with scrubbers at hydro-cyclones, crushers,

etc.

Noise

• Noise generated due to crushing will be about 78 dB (A). Crusher will be located

in shed and to curtail noise waves reaching receptors. Similarly, all sources will

be provided with enclosures.

• Gradual progressive plantation along factory premises will cut off noise levels.

Solid Waste Management:

Solid waste generated during plant operation will be the discards in reclamation ponds

and can be used for brick manufacture and reclamation of any low-lying area around this

area.

1.15 Rainwater harvesting

The plant is situated in lease area, therefore the abandoned mine pit will used for rain

water harvesting. Collection of rain water will be run off from surroundings, roof top of

sheds of the plant and other open area of the lease site excluding the storage of raw,

products and waste material. Storages will have separate drainage leading to tailing pond.


1.16 Plantation:

The plant is located in mining lease area of 7.31 ha. and plantation shall be done in 2.4 ha

area. The budget for plantation shall be 1.17 lakhs per year. 1500 Nos of plants and

species shall be planted every year for next three years.

1.17 Conclusion:

Expansion of existing beneficiation plant of M/s Rajeev Chadha at village Gandhigram, Tehsil

Sihora District Jabalpur (M. P.) will be environmental compatible to the surrounding due to the

high standards of pollution control measures to be adopted during the operation activity.
