Mine over burden had been kept on one side in such a way that the top soil is preserved for use in future for back filling with over burden and plantation over top soil. The mine over burdens is being back filled fully in part of the mine sites to avoid heaps of such materials on one hand and depression due to mining on other hand. Storage of overburden will be kept on periphery of excavated area to prevent fall of unauthorized entry/animals and run off rain water. Stack height of OB storage will be less than 9 meter.

AIR POLLUTION MITIGATION MEASURE Overburden material will be stacked at lower height & at identified place. Regular water sprinkling is carried out. During loading & unloading regular water spraying will be carried out. Water spraying of haul roads and other roads at regular intervals. Regular water sprinkling & strengthening of road will be carried out to avoid dustiness due to vehicular transportation. Provision of dust filters / mask to workers. All trucks are well covered by tarpaulin sheet. Provision of green belt all along the periphery of project site as well as along the road side leading to pucca road. Lying of haul roads as per the standards, black topping of permanent haul roads and service roads to avoid or eliminate air borne dust. Speed of the vehicles should be maintained within the prescribed limits. Trucks will not be over loaded and should be maintained to the body level. Condition of all trucks will be well maintained & its lubrication & maintenance records will be kept. Old age trucks will not be utilized. Only P.U.C. certified vehicle will be used No Industrial wastewater will be generated. Pls. refer prefeasibility study report pg. no. 8 & 13. CONTROL MEASURES OF NOISE: Proper maintenance of machinery, equipments and improvement on design of machines.

5 Plan for managing storm water. Details of garland drains to be provided Plan for managing dust, noise, silt and other pollutants during mining activities Details on transportation route & measures proposed for control of fugitive emission during transportation 40. Plan for post mining use/ reclamation of pits. Personal protective devices i.e., earmuffs and earplugs will be provided to workers. All vehicles which create high noise will be avoided. Creation of wide green belts of dense foliage between mine areas. Proper maintenance, lubrication and tuning of machinery would be ensured. The greenbelt with species of rich canopy around the lease area and along the roads will further attenuate the noise levels. Mining activity will be restricted to day time only. Conducting periodical medical check up of all workers for any noise related health problems Proper training to personnel to create awareness about adverse noise level effects. Planned noise monitoring at suitable outside location for proper effective remedial actions. No blasting activity is carried out. For control of noise pls. refer prefeasibility study report pg. no. 14. PLAN FOR MANAGING STORM WATER: Generally mining is not carried out during monsoon while mine is filled by storm water. Floor area of mine will be kept tapered to runoff stormed water at lower level. Storm water will be stored at this one deep corner of lower level lease area Mine is dewatered by means of pumps after monsoon is over for its further reuse in water sprinkling & tree plantation purpose. Storage of over burden will be kept at periphery of mine area to prevent surface water runoff into mines and divert it in to nearby natural drain Pls. refer prefeasibility study report pg. no. 8. For managing dust, silt and air pollutant mitigation measures, plan is described in serial no. 35. For managing noise pollutant mitigation measures, plan is described in serial no. 36.

Pls. refer prefeasibility study report pg. no. 10, 12 & 14. The abandoned mine sites shall be made fully secured with wire fencing or any such methods to avoid falling of animals and loss of lives when site is full of water harvested during the rainy seasons. Appropriate signage, security and protection measures shall be provided. The mine over burdens is being back filled fully in part of the mine sites to avoid heaps of such materials on one hand and depression due to mining on other hand. Proper leveling and adequate plantation shall have to be done. Preferably locally predominant species shall be
