The UAFDC has got the diversion for riverbed mining of Minor minerals (RBM) like sand, boulder and bajri in the year 2002 vide letter no. 8-16/2000-FC dated 28-10-2002 for 10 yrs period. The renewal of the same is under process. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed riverbed mining site is located in Kotawali (a Tributary of river Ganga and supportive river) at Kotawali and Chidyapur villages of Haridwar District, Uttarakhand state. The proposed site comes under Forest Division of Haridwar. The river carries huge quantity of sediment consisting of stones, gravel and sand during monsoon. The area earmarked for extraction in the river near Kotawali site is 74.67 ha. However, as per the study carried out by ICAR in April, 2013 the extraction of RBM from 13.952 ha of area has been recommended. Based on this recommended area, the estimated quantity of extractable volume of RBM from this location is 75975.47 cum only. Location of the Project The proposed river bed mine is located near village Kotawali & Chidyapur, at Tehsil & District Haridwar in Uttarakhand state. The site is well connected by NH-74 and SH-49 both at a distance of 1 km from project site, nearest railhead is Haridwar located 25 Km from the site. The nearest town is Haridwar 24 km away from the project site and nearest airport Jolly Grant (Dehradun) is at a distance of about 50 km. The coordinates of the project site is latitude 29º44 18.86 N to 29º45 29.06 N and longitude 78º15 45.92 E to 78º17 03.96 E.

KO Annual IMD Roorkee Site Data for post monsoon Season KEY ENVIRONMENT FEATURES Annual Mean Max Temp: 38.5 0 C (Summer) Annual Mean Min Temp : 18.8 0 C (Winter) Annual Total Rainfall : 1156.4 mm Mean Max Temp: 34.15 0 C Mean Min Temp : 10.6 0 C Total Rainfall : 59.2 mm FINAL EIA REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Topography: The elevation of the proposed site ranges from 245 m to 260 m above mean sea level. In the vicinity of Siwalik Hills, the gradient is steep. Geomorphologically Haridwar district can be divided into four geomorphic units. These are flood plain, lower piedmont plain, upper piedmont plain and structural hills. Geologically the area is divided into three zones v.i.z. Siwaliks, Bhabar and Gangetic Alluvial Plains from North to South. Geology: The northern part, paleochannels and active floodplain of rivers have soils of sandy loam; whereas remaining part of the block is covered by silty loam soils. Important soils are ultisols, which are the brown hill soil, occurring all through the northern part of the block. These are the soils with a horizon of clay accumulation and low base supply. Entisols are the soils (also called the bhabar soil) occurring all along the foothills of Siwaliks and extends up to Tarai. These soils are without Pedogenic horizons. Though these soils consist of boulders, pebbles, sand, silt and clay, they are highly fertile. Mollisols, also called the Terai soil, occur in the southern part of the Block. They consist mainly of fine-grained sand, silt and clay. These are the soils with a nearly black, organic-rich surface horizon and high base supply. These are the most fertile soils of the Block. SALIENT FEATURES This mine falls under A category project as the lease area is >50 ha (as per MoEF Notification, 2006 and amended till date). The proposed project is manual extraction and collection of RBM (sand, boulder and bajri) by employing local labourers from dry river bed up to maximum depth of 1.5 meter as suggested by Central Soil & Water Conservation Research and Training Institute, Dehradun (The Indian Council of Agricultural Research). Mining will not be carried out during monsoon season. The mining process involves collection of material by simple hand tool such as shovel, pans and sieves. This is followed by sorting and manual picking, stacking and loading into trucks/ tractor trolley for transporting. Mining will be done only along the centre of the river leaving a margin of 25% on both sides. The salient features of the proposed mining lease area are as given in the table below: Particulars Area Recommended area of extraction (Ref. ICAR, Dehradun ) Maximum Extractable Quantity Capacity Expected life of mine, years Method of mining River Bed Mine 74.67 ha 13.952 ha 84417.19 cum 75975.47 cum (90% of total volume) (9 months) for a lease period of 10 years Opencast, manual E-2

Depth of mining Source: Mine Plan River Bed Mine 1.5 m Land: The mine-lease area for the project is 74.67 ha. The mine lease area is limited river bed. KO Water: The total water requirement for the mines during operation stage has been estimated as 800 l/day. The water requirement for drinking purpose, sprinkling on roads for suppression of dust generated due to transport activities and ancillary activities will be initially met from groundwater. However, water for drinking will be drawn from bore-well at later stages also. Workforce: The workforce required for mining activity comprises of mining supervisors, and other staff directly employed 262 in number. Power Requirement: The mining activity will take place during day time (sunlight) only and no other equipments requiring power will be deployed for mining operations, therefore there will be no power requirement for the project. ALTERNATIVES Site Alternatives: Mining of minerals is site specific in nature and the location of the proposed project is restricted to the geology and mineral deposition of the area. Safety, economical and technical constraints determine the mining methods to be employed. Unlike other industries, the project cannot be shifted to other sites. Mining Technology The mining operation will comprise of the following steps:- 1. Survey & Site demarcation by Forest department. 2. Site Preparation 3. Surface Mining by Hand Tools 4. Loading & Transportation of minor minerals through Trucks/ Dumpers after Computerized Weighment. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT Baseline data generation forms a part of the Environmental Impact Assessment study, which helps to evaluate the predicted impacts on the various environmental attributes and helps in preparing an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) outlining the measures for improving the environmental quality and scope of future expansions for environmentally sustainable development. Baseline data was generated for various environmental parameters including air, water (surface and ground water), land and soil, ecology and socio-economic status to determine quality of the prevailing environmental settings. The study was conducted during winter (October-December) season in 2014. Meteorological Data E-3

KO FINAL EIA REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Haridwar experiences moderate sub-tropical to humid climate with three distinct season s viz. summer followed by rainy and winter seasons. The hydro-meteorological observations for Roorkee observatory has been taken as source. Temperature begins to rise from March (29.1 C) and reaches to its maximum in May (39.2 C). With the commencement of monsoon season by mid-june, the temperature begins to fall. During the winter season in the month of November to February the temperature ranges between 10.5 C and 6.1 C.The relative humidity is highest in monsoon season (85% in the morning and 79% in the evenings). The lowest humidity is observed during the month of April and May i.e. 24% (evening) and 40% in May (morning).the mean monthly wind speed is highest in the summer when it goes up to 7.4 and 7.2 km/hour in the month of May and June and the minimum wind speed is observed during winter when it is 2.6 km/hour. The potential evapo-transpiration is maximum in the month of May 198.9 mm and minimum (38.5 mm) in the month of December. Air Environment Fifteen Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) Stations were selected. Criteria used for designing the network were principally governed by the wind rose pattern for winter seasons and the accessibility of the selected sites. Attempts were made to locate most of the AAQ stations in predominant downwind direction with respect to the project site. It is observed that the P98 values of PM10 and PM2.5 ranges from 95.89 µg/m 3 to126.30 µg/m 3 and 33.91 µg/m 3 to 46.67 µg/m 3. The P98 value of SO2 and NOX varied from 12.22 µg/m 3 to 27.15 µg/m 3 and 16.37 µg/m 3 to 40.21 µg/m 3 respectively. Thus SPM, SO2 and NOX concentrations were observed to be below the stipulated standards of CPCB for residential / rural region at all of the air quality monitoring locations during the study period. Air quality modeling was done using line source model as published by USEPA Workbook of dispersion Modeling by Turner, for transportation though roads and the empirical emission factor equations from USEPA. Land-Use Majority of the land in the 10-km radius study area is forest (49.6%) and agricultural land (16%) which covers a total of 65.6% of the total study area. Forest occupies considerable portion of the study area towards north and north-east. The core zone is limited to river bed mostly sand, bajri and boulder besides streams of water body. There are no forest lands in the core zone. Soil Environment The textural quality of soil is sandy loam and the ph value varies from 7.40 to 7.90. Water Environment Ten surface water samples were collected for analyzing the surface water quality of the study area. All the sampling locations were taken in the villages which will be affected by the project either by mining activities or by construction of infrastructure. E-4

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the proposed project has been carried out with reference to land & soil, water, noise, flora, fauna and socio economic status. Land Environment The landscape of this area will be not be disturbed by the proposed river bed mining. Roads for transportation of mined minerals are already constructed and since existing infrastructure facilities and haul roads will be used, no further impact on land use is anticipated. Mitigation measures: Since there is no further impact in landuse therefore no mitigation measures are required. Air Environment In opencast mining the different process of handling and transportation of minor minerals in the mining activities are prone to generation of high levels of fugitive dust that may increase the levels of particulate matters to high extent. Dusts are generated due to the following mining processes: i. Generation of dust due to transportation of minor minerals. ii. Generation of dust due to movement of heavy vehicles. The effects of air pollutants upon receptors are influenced by concentrations of pollutants and their dispersion in the atmosphere. Air quality modeling is an important tool for prediction, planning and evaluation of air pollution control activities besides identifying the requirements for emission control to meet the regulatory standards. It was found that after mines operation the resultant Ground Level Concentration for Particulate Matters will be much below the stipulated standards. The efficient management of air quality requires the use of modeling techniques to analyze the patterns of pollutant concentrations from many individual sources of air pollutants operating simultaneously. Mitigation measures The only air pollution sources are the road transport network of the trucks. i. Water sprinkling will be done on the roads regularly. ii. Care will be taken to prevent spillage by covering the carrying vehicles with tarpaulin and sprinkling of water, if dry. iii. Fortnightly scraping of road in order to keep the roads almost leveled. This will ensure smooth flow of vehicles and also prevent spillage. iv. Overloading will be kept under check by giving prior awareness. E-6

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT AND CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND KO v. Only PUC certified vehicles will be deployed to keep the gas emissions under check. UAFDC will undertake afforestation in lieu of the mining area in Uttarakhand. Water Environment Mining causes lowering of river bed level as well as lowering of ground water table due to excessive extraction and draining out of ground water from the adjacent areas if the general ground water table is higher than the river bed level. In case the general ground water level is lower than river bed water level, than it will have positive impact as ground water table will be recharged vertically as well as laterally. Mitigation measures The deposits occur in the middle/bottom of the river. During the lease period, the deposit will be worked from the top surface to 1.5 m bgl or above the ground water table whichever comes first. Thus no ground water pollution is expected, as mining will not intersect ground water. It is not proposed to divert or truncate any part of the stream and at no point of time mining will be done from the stream. Noise Environment The area in general represents calm surroundings there is no heavy traffics, industry or noisy habitation in the area. With increase in the scale of mining operations, the vehicular movements and the presence of workers may increase the noise levels slightly. Mitigation measures The vehicles will be maintained in good running condition so that noise will be reduced to minimum possible level and in addition, truck drivers will be instructed to make minimum use of horns at the village area. Hearing protection is generally not needed for RBM projects. Plantation of trees along the bank and approach roads will be done to dampen the noise, if possible. Ecological As the mining activities will be confined to river bed area only no adverse impact is foreseen on flora and fauna. The most important effect of sand bed mining on aquatic habitats are bed degradation and sedimentation which can have substantial negative effect on aquatic life attached to the stream bed deposits. Mitigation measures Noise produced due to vehicular movement for carrying sand materials will be within permissible noise limit. Higher noise level in the area may lead to restlessness and failure in detection of calls of mates and young ones. Care will be taken not to hunt animals/birds by workers. Workers will not be allowed to discard food, polythene waste etc., which can attract animals/birds near the project site. The riparian ecosystem or the wetlands will not be destroyed by the mine owners/workers. Mining will be carried out on the dry river bed area and the river water channel will not be disturbed at all.

KO FINAL EIA REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Impact on socio-economic environment: Establishment of the mines will generally contribute positively to the socio-economic status of the study area in terms of employment direct and indirect. With the continuation of mining operations, employment opportunities and communication and connectivity will be improved. Thus this project will, in general have a positive impact. The negative impact will be limited to some sporadic health problems, which may occur due to increase in fugitive emission in mine area for those workers, working for long. Mitigation measures Occupational Health & Safety: The workers working in the sand mining and its loading transportation and operation will be given safety training. All the workers will be provided with the dust mask and protective clothing. Periodic health checks as per the mine safety rules will be undertaken. The drop heights will be kept minimum and water sprinkling will be done periodically to suppress fugitive dust emission. The mining operation is limited to day time and hence therefore no significant health impacts are anticipated. The first aid box will be provided at site as per rule. R&R Plan/Compensation Details: As it is a river bed mining project so no R& R issue is involved. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PLAN Success of any Environment Management Plan depends upon the efficiency of the organizational set-up responsible for the implementation of the programme. Regular monitoring of the various environmental parameters is also necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the management programme so that necessary corrective measures are taken to resolve them. Since environmental quality parameters at work zone are important for maintaining safety, the monitoring work forms part of the safety measures also. Proposed Management Setup Environment management will be executed by a senior executive reporting to managing director. The team will be responsible for planning, execution and monitoring of all aspects of the environment, during the mining operation A well-defined environmental monitoring program would be emphasized with trained and qualified staff that would monitor the ambient air to ensure that the pollutants level is maintained always within the permissible levels. The locations will be finalized in consultation with SPCB. RISK ASSESSMENT The possible risk in case of river bed mining project is bank erosion, floods and accidents which may be due to transportation. The mining is restricted to non-monsoon seasons thus no flash flood damages are anticipated. The other hazards are road accidents, slipping, minor cuts etc. A worker in the mine should be able to work under adequate safe and healthy conditions. Since mining of minor minerals is an essential aspect, safety of the mine and the employs it should be taken care of, by the mining rules and regulations which are well defined with laid down procedure of safety.

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT AND CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND KO ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN The impacts on the various environmental attributes should be mitigated using appropriate pollution control equipment. The Environment Management Plan prepared for the proposed project aims at minimizing the pollution at source. The proponent will invest an amount of Rs 8.5 lacs for pollution prevention. Air Pollution Management In river bed mining activities, the only source of gaseous emission is the fugitive dust generation during mining, the engines of vehicles using for excavation and transporting of the mined materials. The mitigation measures proposed to mitigate such impacts are: Proper mitigation measures like water sprinkling on haul roads will be adopted to control fugitive dust emission. Plantation will be carried out on approach roads and nearby vicinity of river bank. To control the emissions regular preventive maintenances of vehicles will be done and all transportation vehicles will carry a valid PUC certificate. Noise Pollution Management Vehicular activities particularly transportation vehicles and machineries etc. also make a significant contribution to noise around the project site. Proper maintenance of all vehicles will be carried out which will help in reducing generation of noise during operations. No other equipments accept the transportation vehicles will be allowed as the mining will be completely manual. Periodical monitoring of noise will be done and corrective actions will be adopted. Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads which will minimize propagation of noise. Water Pollution Management Mining in the area will be done well above the water table as well as river bed water level which will minimize the impact on water regime. River bed mining will be done up to depth of 3 m meter from the un-mined bed level at any point in time with proper bench formation; Mining will not intersect the river bed water level or ground water table of the area. So not at all disturbing water environment. Waste Management Although there is no toxic element present in the mineral which may contaminate the soil or river water, the following measures are considered to treat the solid waste that will be generated during mining operation. No solid waste is generated from the said mining operations. Silt generated if any during river bed mining will be used to develop green cover by planting local trees and bushes in the area. There is no toxic element present in the mineral which may contaminate the soil or river water. E-9

KO FINAL EIA REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Afforestation Plan Under the afforestation plan, plantation in nearby villages and connecting roads will be undertaken. The implementation for development of greenbelt will be of paramount importance as it will not only add up as an aesthetic feature but will also act as a pollution sink. Corporate Social Responsibility The proposed activities which are to be taken up as a part of CSR program include: Health check-up camps Surveillance program of the workers Insurance cover of workers Assistance to local schools, scholarship to students Sanitations and drinking water facilities Vocational training to persons for income generation Assistance to self-help groups E-10

No. Attributes Parameters Source and Frequency 1.7 NEED OF THE PROJECT and discharge areas separately repaired A stable river is able to consistently transport the flow of sediments produced by watershed such that its dimensions (width and depth) pattern and vertical profile are maintained without aggrading (building up) or degrading (scouring down). The amount of boulders, cobbles, pebbles and sand deposited in river bed equals to the amount delivered to the river from the watershed and from bank erosion minus amount transported downstream each year. The river is likely to take a parabolic shape due to mining. It will not happen in a year or two but the extraction / removal like this for years may lead to this ideal situation. The demand of crushed boulder, bajri and sand in the area is increasing day by day both for private construction activities and infrastructure development by the government agencies. The State Government has launched several projects of road construction, road widening, bridge construction and buildings. Thus, the boulder (after crushing), bajri, and sand extracted from the mining area contribute to the development of infrastructure and prosperity of the area / region. The mining activities are the backbone of all construction and infrastructure projects as the raw material for construction is available only from such mining. Thus, the mining being done supports demand for sand, boulder and bajri in the area. Also collection and marketing of minor minerals (sand, boulder and bajri) from the river beds of Uttarakhand state has been undertaken in order to protect the forest lands, agricultural crops, inhabitations from the havoc of floods. 1.8 LEGAL FRAMEWORK 1.8.1 PROCESS FOR OBTAINING ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE The projects are classified into Category A or Category B projects based on spatial extent of potential impacts on human health and natural and man-made resources. Category A projects require prior clearance by the MoEF, Govt. of India while the Category B projects have to get clearance from the state government. The environmental clearance process for new projects comprises of a maximum of four stages as described below: Stage (1) Screening: It refers to the definite assignment of environmental category to projects or activities where the same is not completely specified. In case of Category 'B projects scrutiny of application at State level to categorize project in 'B1 or B2 is done. The B2 projects do not require EIA Reports. Since this project comes under category A so it doesn t need screening. Stage (2) Scoping: It refers to the process by which the Expert Appraisal Committee in the case of Category A projects or activities, and State-level Expert Appraisal Committee in the case of Category B1 projects determine detailed and comprehensive terms of reference (TOR) addressing all relevant environmental concerns for the preparation of an EIA report in respect of the project or activity for which prior environmental clearance is sought. 1-4

The public consultation takes part in two steps: public hearing and written responses. The present report is being prepared for submission to State Pollution Control Board for Conducting the Public Hearing. Stage (4) Appraisal: It means the detailed scrutiny of the project application and other documents like the final EIA Report by the Expert Appraisal Committee for Mining Projects of MoEF&CC, GoI. 1.8.2 ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATIONS The mining sector has separate set of legislations covering management, conservation, grant and operation of mining leases etc. There are also separate legislations for coal mines, nonferrous mines etc. In addition, there are environmental / forest regulations, applicable to all types of mining activities have been prescribed by Ministry of Environment and Forests and CPCB.

The altitude ranges from 869 to 240 m. Only in the vicinity of Siwalik range, the gradient is steep due to the presence of hills. The 10 km radius of project site on Toposheet is shown in Figure 2.1. 2.4 GEOLOGY Geologically the area may be divided into three zones v.i.z. Siwaliks, Bhabar and Gangetic Alluvial Plains from North to South. Siwalik Range: This forms the outermost part of Himalaya and comprises Tertiary Group of rocks. In Bhagwanpur block only Upper and Middle Siwaliks are exposed. The upper Siwaliks is constituted of boulders, pebbles, sand and clay. The boulders and pebbles are mostly of quartzites. Middle Siwaliks comprises mainly grey micaceous sandstone and siltstone. Older Alluvium (Piedmont Plains or Bhabar): The Piedmont Plains are formed along the foothills of Siwaliks. It is formed by flooding hill torrents and nallas (locally termed as Rao ). Alluvial fans in the piedmont zones are wider and longer when formed along mature streams. The Older Alluvium consists of polycyclic sequence of brown to grey silt, clay with boulders and pebbles. Gangetic Alluvial Plains: The region south of the piedmont plains occupied by Gangetic Alluvial Plains, forms major part of the Bhagwanpur block. Lithologically, the alluvium is formed of unconsolidated to semiconsolidated deposits of sand, silt, clay and kankar. Stratigraphic sequence of the area is given below. Age Formation Group Lithology Terrace/Fan Cyclic sequence of grey micaceous Newer Alluvium Alluvium sand, silt, clay/brownish gray clay, sand and gravel with boulders gray Quaternary Channel Alluvium micaceous fine to coarse grained sand, silt and clay.

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT AND CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND KO 2.5 SURFACE DRAINAGE PATTERN The area is mainly drained by River Ganges along with a number of other minor drains which are mentioned below: (i) Panjanhcri minor, (ii) Begum Nadi, (iii) sidh sot, (iv) Mandal sot, (v) Sampwala sot, (vi) Simal sot, (vii) Papri sot, (viii) Amsot, (ix) Noki Khatta, (x) Khokra sot, (xi) Kanswala sot, (xii) Sukhro sot, (xiii) Talwala sot and (xiv) Panduwali sot The surface drainage system in the area is almost seasonal. The flow in the natural drain is observed only immediately after the rainfall and then these nala become entirely dry. 2.6 MINING 2.6.1 METHOD The project does not involve any processes such as drilling, blasting and beneficiation. The mining process involves collection of material by simple hand tool such as shovel, pans and sieves. This is followed by sorting and manual picking, stacking and loading into trucks/tractor-trolley for transporting. The pits from where the material is picked are not deeper than 1.5m as allowed in mining area and shall follow the normal channel direction of the river. These get replenished during monsoon. The only waste is silty sand/clay which is recycled back to the pits. About 136,755 Tonnes mineral will be exploited per year. From first year to fifth year total 683775 Tonnes mineral will be produced. The proposed area is within river bed and mined out area will be replenished gradually during succeeding rainy season. The lease area has gentle slope towards SW/SSW. Highest point is at RL 278.5 m in the northeast corner of the area where as lowest point RL 260.5 m is in the SSW corner of the area. The mineral extraction will be done for a period of 225 days in a year. The guidelines of the Ministry of Environment & Forests and Directorate of Geology and Mining will be followed; the most important is as under: Dry pit mining will be followed which means mining will be above the flowing river water level. Mining activity will be immediately stopped when water comes in the mining pits. RBM (sand, bajri & boulder) will be collected in slices up to a depth of 1.5 m or river water levels whichever less than prescribed. Stream will not be diverted to form inactive channel. Mining at the concave side of the river channel will be avoided to prevent bank erosion. Mining will be restricted minimum 25% (UPL) from lease boundary to minimize effect of river bank erosion and to avoid consequent channel migration. Plantation will be done on such area to isolate mining operation form the rest of the area. Area of mining lease will be demarcated prior to mining and pillars will be erected on ground. No mining operations shall be carried out in proximity of any bridge and or embankment. Working will be during day-time i.e. sunrise to sunset only; 2-3

KO FINAL EIA REPORT CHAPTER-2: PROJECT DESCRIPTION No constructions will be done at site except for construction of initial temporary shelter house; No water intake from river will be done. Water will be supplied by tankers from outside sources; No machineries will be used; Mining will be completely stopped during monsoon season. 2.6.2 YEAR WISE MINING & DEVELOPMENT From 1 st year to 5 th year, about 330 m long retaining wall will be constructed along the plantation & dump area. The mining face will advance towards NE. The sandy soil will be removed from river bank with the help of crowbar & spade and stacked separately. The net recovery of RBM has been considered 90% of total excavation. The position of benches in each year is shown in Mine Plan. The approved Mine Plan is attached as Annex 2.3. The area earmarked for extraction in river Kotawali at Kotawali and Chidyapur villages is 74.67 ha but extraction of RBM from only 13.952 ha is recommended by Central Soil & Water Conservation Research and Training Institute, Dehradun (ICAR). The estimated quantity of extractable volume of RBM from this river is 75975.47 cum.

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT & CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND 3-7 KO In order to assess the Ambient Air Quality (AAQ), samples of ambient air were collected by installation of Respirable Dust Sampler and Fine Particulate Matter Sampler at different locations within the study area and analyzed to find out the existing status of air quality. Ground water samples were collected from the existing tube wells, while samples for surface water were collected from rivers & small ponds. The samples were analyzed for parameters necessary to determine water quality (based on IS: 10500 criteria) and those, which are relevant from environmental impact point of view of the proposed river bed mining project. The noise level measurements were also done at various locations in the study area at different intervals of time with the help of sound level meter to establish the baseline noise levels in the impact zone. The land use pattern of the study area was assessed through latest satellite imagery and topographical sheets of Survey of India, followed by ground truthing / verification by experts. Soil samples were collected and analyzed for relevant physical and chemical characteristics in order to assess the impact of the proposed mining on soil. Socio-economic data was collected from primary sources through village-level surveys and household visits. Data was also taken from secondary sources like Primary Abstracts of Census of India 1991, 2001 and 2011. Inventory of flora and fauna species present in the area was made through field visits and surveys by ecologists and secondary data such as Forest Working Plan available with the Forest Department. Since the project involves river bed mining from 8 locations, therefore a cluster approach was adopted for collection of baseline data which covers every single lease area. 3.4 REGIONAL & LOCATIONAL SETTINGS The Uttarakhand Forest Development Corporation has earmarked 1380.03 ha for extraction of River Bed Material (RBM) from eight locations near Haridwar. Out of these 8 locations, 4 locations are in the River Ganga and remaining four have independent catchment area, which joins the river Ganga in downstream. The combined map of all the 8 projects is shown in Figure 3.5. The proposed riverbed mining site is located in Ganga River near Bhogpur, Ramkundi and Tatwala villages of Haridwar District, Uttarakhand. The details of the location of the proposed project are described in Table 3.2 and depicted in Figure 1.1, 3.6.

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT & CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND KO Figure 3.9: Pie Diagram Showing Land-use Pattern of Study Area 3.5.2 LAND-USE OF THE PROJECT SITE The project site is limited to river bed. Mostly sand, bajri and boulder besides streams of water body is present within the core zone. 3.5.3 LAND OWNERSHIP The mine area is already allotted to Uttarakhand Forest Development Corporation on lease and mining is going on from the last 10 years. The mine lease area comes under forest land and fresh renewal for mine lease area has been applied by UAFDC. 3.6 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 3.6.1 HYDROGEOLOGY The ground water conditions in alluvial parts of Haridwar district are considerably influenced by the varying lithology of the subsurface formations. The main source of water, which sustains groundwater in the district, is rainfall. Hydrogeological surveys carried out in Haridwar District show that water levels range from 0.78 to 50.20 m bgl in pre-monsoon period and from 0.64 to 48.56m bgl during post-monsoon period respectively. Alluvium is the main water bearing formation in the area, which consists of coarse sand, fine sand and silt. Ground water in Hardwar district occurs under unconfined, confined and semi-confined conditions. The aquifers are separated with thick clay with considerable thickness, which act as confining layers. The water level data suggests the presence of multilayer aquifer system. The hydraulic property of the study area reveals that the transmissivity ranges from 300-8800 m 2 /day and yield is 10-50 lps. (Source: Groundwater Brochure of Haridwar District, Uttarakhand, April, 2009). 3.6.2 SURFACE DRAINAGE The area is mainly drained by River Ganges along with a number of other minor drains which are mentioned below: 3-9

The duration of sampling for all the parameters was 24 hourly continuous sampling per day. The baseline data of air was monitored for PM10 & 2.5, SO2, NOx, CO. 3.8.2 INSTRUMENTS USED FOR SAMPLING Respirable Dust Samplers instruments have been used for sampling of Respirable fraction (<10 µ) and gaseous pollutants like SO2 and NOx. Fine Particulate Sampler was deployed for monitoring of PM2.5. RSPM (<10 µ) present in ambient air is drawn through the cyclone. Coarse and non-respirable dust (>10 µ) is separated from the air stream by centrifugal forces acting on the solid particles. These separated particulates fall through the cyclone's conical hopper and collect in the sampling cup placed at the bottom of the cyclone. The fine dust (<10 µ) forming the respirable fraction passes the cyclone and is retained by the filter paper. A tapping is provided on the suction side of the blower to provide suction for sampling air through a set of impingers. Samples of gases are drawn at a flow rate of 0.5 liters per minute (lpm). The air samples were analyzed as per standard methods specified in IS: 5182. 3-17

KO 3.8.3 SAMPLING & ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES FINAL EIA REPORT CHAPTER-3: BASELINE ENVIRONMENT The equipment used in the air monitoring was equipped with timers, which automatically records the total duration of monitoring for which equipment was in operation. Based on this, total volume of gas sampled was calculated to arrive at concentrations of pollutants monitored. If by any reason, the monitoring could not be carried out for the duration of minimum sixteen hours as per CPCB guidelines, the monitoring was repeated next day to have a more representative sample. The concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx and CO were computed for the total duration of monitoring and for the total gas volume sampled excluding the time lapses due to power failures.

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT & CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND It is interpreted from Table 3.19 that KO Most of the villages in the project area have hand pumps and tube wells, which are used for drinking and other domestic uses. Therefore 4 bore well samples have been considered for sampling. The analysis results indicate that the ph ranges in between 7.18 to 7.67 at GW12 (Dudhiyawala Khatta) and GW6 (Shyampur Gajrabad) respectively. ph values are well within the standard limit. Total hardness was observed in the range of 166.8 to 188.5 mg/l. The maximum hardness (188.5 mg/l) was recorded at GW13 (Mirzapur) and the minimum (166.5 mg/l) was recorded at GW12 (Dudhiyawala Khatta). The hardness was found well within the limit of 200 mg/l as per IS:10500:2012. Chlorides were found in the range of 25.3 mg/l to 33.5 mg/l which is well within the specified standard of 250 mg/l. Sulphate was found to be in the range of 37.1 mg/l to 46.2 mg/l. The maximum value observed at GW13 (Mirzapur) (46.2 mg/l) whereas the minimum value observed at GW14 (Rampur Chnattha) (37.1 mg/l). The sulphate was found well within the limit of 200 mg/l as per the prescribed limits of IS: 10500. The Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) concentrations were found to be ranging in between 352 to 365 mg/l and were within the prescribed limits of IS: 10500 of 500 mg/l. It can be concluded that the ground water quality meets the standards of IS: 10050.2012 and therefore can be used for drinking purposes. 3.10 ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC DENSITY Traffic density measurements were performed at 5 locations. Location of these stations is marked on the map in Figure 3.20 and given in Table 3.1. The monitoring was performed in October, 2014. Traffic density measurement were made continuously for 24 hours by visual observation and counting of vehicles under three categories, v.i.z., heavy motor vehicles (HMV), light motor vehicles (LMV) and two/three wheelers. As traffic densities on the roads are high, two skilled persons were deployed simultaneously at each station during each shift- one person on each of the two directions for counting the traffic. At the end of each hour, fresh counting and recording was undertaken. Total numbers of vehicles per hour under the three categories were determined. The results of measurements are given in the summery in Table 3.20.

Impact of noise sources on environment depend upon the sources which are generating noise and their respective characteristics. Noise levels are more annoying in the night time particularly in the residential area. The environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from annoyance to hearing loss depending on loudness of noise levels. 3-25

KO FINAL EIA REPORT CHAPTER-3: BASELINE ENVIRONMENT The monitoring for noise levels were done in total 27 locations (6 for Kotawali) keeping in mind the population and traffic of the area. The locations are depicted in Figure 3.20 and Table 3.1. 3.11.1 PARAMETERS MEASURED The important parameters to be measured are Leq, Lday, and Lnight. L eq: Noise monitoring equipment has the facility for measurement of L eq directly. However, L eq can also be calculated using the following equation: L eq (hrly) = L 50 + (L 10 - L 90) 2 / 60 Where, L 10 (Ten Percentile Exceeding Level) is the level of sound, which exceeds 10% of the total time of measurement. L 50 (Fifty Percentile Exceeding Level) is the level of sound, which exceeds 50% of the total time of measurement. L 90 (Ninety Percentile Exceeding Level) is the level of sound, which exceeds 90% of the total time of measurement. L day: This represents L eq of daytime. L day is calculated as logarithmic average using the hourly L eq s for day time hours from 6.00 A.M to 10.00 P.M L night: This represents L eq of night time. L night is calculated as logarithmic average using the hourly L eq s for night time hours from 10.00 PM to 6.00 A.M. 3.11.2 NOISE LEVELS From Table 3.21, it is observed that the present noise level is not exceeding the standard level of CPCB norms. The Leq were recorded in the range of 53.6 to 66.1 db (A) during daytime and 40.1 to 51.6 db (A) during night time.

They were asked about the kind of mitigation and adaption plan they would recommend for the predicted changing scenario once project get implemented. Sampling of vegetation: Vegetation survey was conducted through Quadrat Method. The size of the quadrats was decided by number of species area curve and mostly 10 m x 10 m for trees, 5 m x 5 m for shrubs and 1 m x 1 m for herbaceous species was adopted to conduct vegetation studies. The detailed phytosociological characters of flora are given in Annex-3.2. The main agricultural crops found in the study area are rice, wheat, peanut, turmeric, raddish, sugarcane, mustard etc. The common vegetation of the study area can be broadly divided into Sal forest, mixed forest (Acacia catechu, Vetiveria zizanioides etc.) and Riverine forest (vegetation occurring in low water logged areas along brooks, riverbeds and streambeds). The forests are dominated by Shorea robusta (Sal) and Tectona grandis (teak). Apart from these, Butea monosperma, Bauhinia variegata, Bombax ceiba, Acacia catechu, Dendrocalamus strictus, Emblica officinalis, Aegle marmelos, Tectona grandis, Zizyphus mauritiana etc. are also common in the study area. The detailed list of flora and fauna of the study area are given in Annex-3.3. 3.12.4 FAUNAL SURVEY There are extensive forests in the buffer zone. Data was generated from both primary and secondary sources and after interaction with local population. In addition the following sources were also used. Sighting during ecological studies Animal call Excreta Secondary sources mention the presence of elephant, porcupine, barking deer, sambhar and pangolin in the study area. However, during primary survey these animals were not observed. Rhesus monkey, common langur, common mongoose, jackal and Nilgai are the only species of wildlife which could be observed commonly in the forests of the area during primary survey. Common birds observed in the study area are Kingfisher, Barbets, Woodpeckers, Babblers, Golden Spectacled Warbler, Slaty Headed Parakeets, and Great Hornbills. Details of fauna and avifauna of the study area is given in Annex 3.3. Conservation plan for Schedule I and Schedule II fauna has been prepared in consultation with Uttarakhand Forest Department. The same is approved by the competent authority and enclosed as Annex 3.4. 3.12.5 AQUATIC BIOLOGY Assessment of aquatic ecology is important to understand the impact of mining on aquatic fauna due to changes in sediment transport and sediment deposition. Aquatic ecology for the proposed project was studied in 5 sites. The river water in this stretch appears clean and clear.

Periphyton is a complex matrix of algae and heterotrophic microbes attached to submerged substrata in almost all aquatic ecosystems. It serves as an important food source for invertebrates and some fish, and it can be an important sorber of contaminants. The complete list of periphytons, phytoplanktons and zoobenthos are given in Annex 3.3. 3.13 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT 3.13.1 DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE A total 59 villages are covered in the study area. In these 59 villages, the total numbers of households were found to be 18566 with a population of 108807 in 2011. Details number of households and population is presented in Table 3.22. The overall household size has declined from 6.0 to 5.9. According to the survey, gender ratio of study area is 911 which is lower in comparison to national gender ratio i.e. 940. The overall sex ratio (number of females per 1000 males) increased from 853 in 1991 to 897 in 2001 and then increased to 911 in 2011.

In India, the vulnerable groups are mainly Scheduled Castes and Scheduled tribes, and are usually small farmers or landless. Their livelihood is the worst affected and they get the worst compensation deals. So, special attention has to be given towards these groups while making the plans. Table 3.23 depicts the distribution of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe population in the Study Area. From the Table, it can be found that the populations of Schedule Caste & Schedule Tribes in the study area are 21.52% and 1.87% respectively in 2011.

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT AND CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND KO 4. IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES 4.1 INTRODUCTION Any human activity in any environment produces impact, modifying it to a status which is considered adverse or beneficial according to the damage or improvement it brings about in physical, chemical and biological status of air, water, land including biota and in socio-cultural life styles and economy of the population it affects. Depending on the nature of activities and existing status, the impacts are assessed for their importance. On the basis of the impact analysis, the mitigating action and future monitoring requirement are focused in the Environmental Management Plan for counting or minimizing adverse impacts. Effects of this mining project on each of the environmental parameters are detailed below in accordance with the parameter of environment likely to be affected. Land environment Water environment Air environment Noise levels Ecology & Biodiversity Soil Socio-economic environment. 4.2 OPERATION PHASE 4.2.1 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT 4.2.1.1 IMPACT ON LAND USE CHANGE PATTERN The landscape of buffer zone will not be disturbed by the proposed river bed mining. Roads for transportation of mined minerals are already constructed and since existing infrastructure facilities and haul roads will be used, no further impact on land use is anticipated and all activities are confined to the core zone. If the mining is not carried out in a systematic manner by leaving sufficient safety barriers from the bank then it may disturb the river flow/course. Stacking of unwanted material including mineral spillage (if any) on the bank side of the river will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season, raise water level upstream, which may lead to bank cutting or flouting. Deviation from planned mining procedures can lead to river channel shifting as well as degradation of surrounding land, causing loss of properties and degradation of landscape. 4-1

KO FINAL EIA REPORT CHAPTER-4: IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES Mining within a river bed may have some impact on the stream s physical characteristics, such as channel geometry, bed elevation in stream roughness of the bed, flow velocity, discharge capacity, sediment transportation capacity etc. Alteration or modification of the above attributes may cause noticeable hazardous impact on ecological equilibrium of Riverine regime. MITIGATION MEASURES Mineral will be mined out from the centre of stream and sufficient safety barrier of about 25% will be left on both sides of the banks, so that the river flow/course will not get disturbed and there is no cutting of the bank. Mining of minerals will be started from dip side towards rise at the centre and also laterally in 1 meter slice so that the river course will not get affected. Unwanted material or spillage (if any) will not be stacked by the side of the excavation voids created. This will ensure that there is no hindrance in the flow of water in monsoon season. Mining is to be done leaving safety barrier on both sides of the river. Maximum barrier should be preferably on the concave side of river so as to help avoid erosion as side cutting. The proposed river bed mining is unlikely to change any characteristics of the river bed as permitted mining volume is based upon annual replenishment and has been calculated by ICAR. 4.2.1.2 IMPACT ON SOIL No further impact on soil of the study area is envisaged due to mining activities as there is no stack emission and fugitive emission shall remain confined locally within working area and emission at haul road will be controlled by water sprinkling and plantation. 4.2.2 IMPACT ON WATER Mining causes lowering of riverbed level as well as river bed water level resulting in lowering of groundwater table due to excessive extraction and draining out of groundwater from the adjacent areas. This happens with the mining operation cutting the ground water table. As the general ground water level is lower than riverbed water level, then it will have positive impact as ground water table will be recharged vertically as well as laterally. River helps in recharging the ground water, excessive mining will reduce the thickness of the natural filter materials (sediments), infiltration through which the ground water is recharged, so restriction in depth becomes necessity. MITIGATION MEASURES Mining in the area will be done well above the water table as well as river bed water level therefore; impact on water regime is not anticipated. The water table is at 3-6 m below river bed level while the workings in the area are proposed up to a maximum depth of 1.5 m from river bed level 0.5 m slice working is proposed, so that water level is not touched. 4-2

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT AND CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND KO No waste water will be generated from the mining activity of minor minerals as the project only involves lifting of sand, Bajri & boulders from river bed. Mining neither intersect ground water table nor river bed water level. So there will not be any disturbance in water environment. 4.2.3 IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY 4.2.3.1 AIR QUALITY MODELING Anticipated Impacts and Evaluation: Information on air quality was studied and various modeling techniques predicted that the mining activity is not likely to affect the air quality in a significant manner. However, loading of sand bajri & boulder, its transportation and unloading operations may cause some deterioration in air quality due to handling dry materials. In the present case, only wet materials will be handled, thus eliminating problems of fugitive dust. Also, the collection and lifting of minerals will be done manually without any blasting. Therefore the dust generated is likely to be insignificant as compared to mining processes involving drilling, blasting, mechanized loading etc. Air Modeling: In case of river bed sand mining, as there is no blasting and drilling activities, wet sand handling will limit the impacts only to fugitive dust by transportation on unpaved road and vehicular emission. The distance of unpaved road for each project is limited upto the connectivity of nearest major road. The major road will not produce fugitive dust. Therefore, in case of pucca road modeling was carried out for emission likely due to vehicular transportation. The impact due to vehicular transportation was assessed by two modeling practices namely fugitive dust modeling and Caline 4 for fugitive dust and vehicular emission respectively. FUGITIVE DUST- MODELING: Air quality modeling was done using line source model as published by USEPA Workbook of Dispersion Modeling by Turner, for transportation though roads and the empirical emission factor equations from USEPA. Emission factors to be used in Line source Dispersion equation is adopted from formula as given below: E= k * (1.7) * (s/12)*(s/48) * (W/2.7) 0.7 * (w/4) 0.5 * (365-p/365) kg/vkt 1 Where E = Emission Rate (kg/vkt) k= Particle size multiplier = (0.36) s = Silt Content of the Road surface material (%) = 10% S = Mean Vehicle Speed (km/hr) = 20 km/hr W=Mean Vehicle Weight (tonnes) = 10 tonnes w= Mean number of wheels = 6 p= Number of days with at least 0.254 mm of precipitation per year = 68 f = frequency of Vehicle movement in no per hour = 5 vehicles / hour 4-3

KO Thus using equation (1) E = 0.52956 kg/vkt E = 0.0007 g/sec/m FINAL EIA REPORT CHAPTER-4: IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES Concentration of the fugitive dust was calculated using the empirical equations for unpaved roads published by USEPA- AP42. For this, wind speed is assumed 1 m/s and fugitive emission will take place from unpaved road. Modeling was done for an infinite line source assuming unpaved road. For conservative calculation wind was assumed to blow at a velocity of 1 m/s perpendicular to the road. The results for 24 hourly concentration values are given in the Figure 4.1. Figure 4-1: Concentration of Fugitive dust vs Distance TABLE 4-1: CONCENTRATION IN RESPECT OF DISTANCE Distance x in m 24 hr avg Concentration; C in µg/m 3 at 50 34.99 Concentration; C in µg/m 3 at 100 21.61 Concentration; C in µg/m 3 at 200 11.70 Concentration; C in µg/m 3 at 300 7.82 Concentration; C in µg/m 3 at 400 5.80 Concentration; C in µg/m 3 at 500 4.57 It is observed that the ground level concentration (GLC) decreases from 34.99 µg/m 3 at 50 m from the centre line of the road to 4.57 µg/m 3 at 500 m from the centre line of the road. These values have been predicted for a dry unpaved road. The model prediction has been made for unpaved road. The distance of unpaved road from the site is approx. 300 m. 4-4

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT AND CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND KO After that Pucca Road is available. Hence, no fugitive emission will take place after this point. The distance of nearest settlement is about 0.3 km from the site. Most of the fugitive dust will get settled at this distance due to specific settling velocity of the particles. Also the regular water sprinkling will reduce the dust drastically. However, most of the roads in the region are pucca road. Vehicular Load Emission using Caline 4: The Caline 4 Model has been deployed to assess the emission load likely due to transportation of minerals in trucks. Modeling for the project has been done for taking comprehensive approach including the entire vehicular load expected from other mines on the same side. There is one mine namely Kotawali located on the both sides of pucca road for transportation of mined out minerals. Emission Rate: The details of emission rate considered for the project are as follows. TABLE 4-2: VEHICLE EMISSION STATEMENT Category of Expected No. of Emission Rate (g/km) Mine Vehicles Vehicles/hr PM * SO # 2 NO * X CO * Kotawali Truck 5 1.24 1.21 9.30 6.0 *- Emission Factor development for Indian Vehicles, ARAI Pune, #- The SO2 emission has been calculated based on Diesel Consumption Model Assumption: The emission load has been evaluated by Caline 4 for Vehicular Movement. The average meteorological data of post monsoon season (October to December, 2014) was considered as meteorological input for model study. CALINE 4 dispersion model software was run by using data on link geometry, traffic volume and environmental receptors given in the table above. The output results at various distances from the road are presented in Table below. TABLE 4-3: INCREMENTAL POLLUTION DUE TO VEHICULAR TRANSPORTATION Distance from the Road (m) Incremental GLCs (µg/m 3 ) SPM SO 2 NO X CO 20 0.5 0.5 3.9 2.5 50 0.2 0.2 1.4 0.9 It is evident from the above table the impact due to vehicular movement shall get almost normalized at a distance of approx. 100m on either side of transporting road. MITIGATION MEASURES The only air pollution sources are the road transport network of the trucks/dumpers. The dust suppression measures like the following will be resorted: Water sprinkling will be done on the roads regularly. This will reduce dust emission further by 75%. Care will be taken to prevent spillage by covering the carrying vehicles with tarpaulin and sprinkling of water, if dry. Fortnightly scraping of road in order to keep the roads almost leveled. This will ensure smooth flow of vehicles and also prevent spillage. Overloading will be kept under check by giving prior awareness. 4-5

KO FINAL EIA REPORT CHAPTER-4: IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES Proper Tuning of vehicles along with pollution certificate to keep the gas emissions under check and installing automatic weighing machine at exit points. Traffic management plan will help in avoiding any traffic jams and thus concentration of trucks in one place. Plantation of trees along roads sides as part of social forestry to help reduce the impact of dust in the nearby villages. Vegetation improves air by capturing pollution particles, reducing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Photosynthesis in green plant consumes carbon dioxide, plant help in counteracting the increase of this gas in the atmosphere. Thus planting of trees and shrubs for abatement of air pollution and improvement of environment is an effective way. Plants with dust scavenging capacity i.e. Plants species which have aesthetic value and pollution tolerance will be recommended for planting along the roads. 4.2.4 IMPACT ON TRAFFIC DENSITY The information on traffic volume is an important input required for planning, analysis, design and operation of roadway systems. Table 4.4 shows the existing Level of Service (LOS) of the roads that will be used for transportation of the mined minerals. TABLE 4-4: EXISTING TRAFFIC SCENARIO C = Capacity of PCU per V = Volume in PCU per day day for intermediate lane Existing V/C ratio LOS as per IRC roads 1250 15000 0.08 A Level of service is defined as a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream and their perception by drivers/passengers. 6 LOS are recognized commonly, designated from A to F. Table 4.5 show the relation between V/C ratio and LOS. TABLE 4-5: RELATION BETWEEN V/C RATIO AND LOS V/C ratio LOS Performance 0.0-0.2 A Represents a condition of free flow 0.2-0.4 B Represents a zone of stable flow 0.4-0.6 C The general level of comfort and convenience declines noticeably at this level 0.6-0.8 D Represents the limit of stable flow 0.8-1.0 E Represents operating conditions when traffic volumes are at or close to the capacity level Source: IRC Guidelines 64-1990 Production per day 608 tonnes Number of working hours 10 Capacity of one truck 16 tonnes No. of incremental trucks per hour 5 4-6

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT AND CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND TABLE 4-6: TRAFFIC SCENARIO IN PRESENCE OF MINING OPERATION V = Volume in PCU per day Existing (2014) Incremental (on project initiation) Combined Volume of PCU per day C = Capacity of PCU per day for intermediate lane roads 4-7 New V/C ratio KO LOS as per IRC 1250 360 1610 12500 0.13 A Source: IRC Guidelines 64-1990 From Table 4.5 and 4.6, it can be concluded that the incremental load on the carrying capacity of the concerned roads is not likely to change the LOS of the roads and unlikely to have any significant impact. 4.2.5 IMPACT ON NOISE LEVEL The major sources of noise pollution are vehicles transporting the mined out minerals. The trucks proposed to be used for transportation of minerals are anticipated to produce noise levels in the range of 80-85 db(a). The material transportation road passes through populated areas at villages and several sensitive receptors such as forests are located along the road, people in these places will be exposed to the increased noise levels. It may have negative environmental impacts on the sensitive receptors close to the project road. Variation of approximate noise level with vehicle speed is given in Table 4.7. TABLE 4-7: NOISE LEVEL VARIATIONS WITH VEHICLE SPEED Speed (kmph) Noise Level due to Truck in db(a) 40 76.0 50 80.0 60 81.0 70 81.5 80 82.0 90 83.0 100 83.5 Source: FHWA Traffic Noise Model User Guide, version 2.5 Due to transportation of minerals, the residential areas, vegetation and avi-fauna along the haul road are likely to experience high day time noise levels. These noise levels significantly vary with vehicle speed as presented in Table 4.4. However, the proposed avenue plantation is expected to minimize the impacts on the immediate influence area of the transportation road. Noise Impact Modeling: Modeling for the project has been done for taking comprehensive approach including the entire vehicular load expected from other mines on the same side. There are two mines namely Bhogpur and Bishanpur located in the same side of the river and likely to use the same road for transportation of mined out minerals. The results obtained for projected traffic on various distances from the road are given in Table 4.8. TABLE 4-8: DISTANCE AND LIKELY NOISE LEVEL Distance from the Road (m) Ambient Noise Level in db(a) Likely Noise Level in db(a) 50 55.0 64.1 100 55.0 61.6 200 55.0 59.5

The impact due to truck movement is instantaneous and likely to reduce once the truck passes from the area. The exposures to excessive noise level can lead to: Prevention of sleep, insomnia and fatigue affects both health and behavior of mankind. Noise pollution caused by loud music and blowing horns increases stress, causes distraction & discomfort and deprives peace of mind. Chronic psychological disturbance including impaired hearing irreparable cardiovascular, respiratory and neuralgic damages in certain extreme cases. Noise can have a detrimental effect on animals too, makes species communicate louder, which is called Lombard vocal response. Although roadside vegetation may provide suitable habitat for many species, resident animals can be exposed to high levels of traffic noise, visual disturbance from passing vehicles, and the risk of collision with cars and trucks. Traffic noise can reduce the distance over which acoustic signals such as song can be detected, an effect known as acoustic interference or masking. MITIGATION MEASURES Periodical monitoring of noise will be done. No other equipments except the transportation vehicles will be allowed. PUC certified and well tuned vehicles will be used during operation phase and loud noise will be check out everyday which help in reducing noise during operations. Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads and vicinity of river bank. The plantation minimizes propagation of noise and also arrests dust. By reducing the speed and/or volume of traffic on such roads to an acceptably low level. No loud noise such as speakers will be allowed by workers and it should be checked regularly. 4.2.6 IMPACT ON FLORA As it is a mining project of sand from river bed, activities will be confined to core zone only. Thus no direct impact is foreseen on the flora of the forested area because of mining, whereas activities related to mining as transportation of minerals and passage of workers to and fro from mining area will have an adverse impact on the road side flora. Significant reduction in total chlorophyll content at road side plant species affects the plant species by affecting the plant metabolism. The reduction in chlorophyll concentration corresponds directly to the reduction in plant growth. 4-8

Plant mortality and biological community may extend this along the edge and such mortalities may extend from the road edge for varying distances. The newly created edge provides habitat for edge species. The run-off from the roads may affect the aquatic communities. Emissions, litter, noise and other physical disturbances may extend into road side vegetation for varying distances and result in changes in species composition. MITIGATION MEASURES Plantation will be carried out on approach roads and nearby vicinity at river banks areas. Native plant species which are stress and pollution tolerant and comparatively well acclimatized should be grown along roadsides. For selection of plant species it is necessary to consider certain factors as agro climatic suitability, height and canopy architecture, growth rate and habit and aesthetic effect (foliage, conspicuous and attractive flower color). The plants selected should be hardy so as to withstand severe climatic conditions and should not use much of irrigation. Annual bio-monitoring of roadside plants exposed to vehicular pollution will be done to check the dust load and Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI). 4.2.7 IMPACT ON FAUNA The mining, specifically, will have no adverse impact on fauna whereas the operational activities such as human activity, transportation and noise generation may have an adverse impact on fauna. As it is a forest area, chances of vehicle collisions with wildlife attempting to cross roads are possible. Loud sounds generated by human activities and transportation may have an adverse impact on terrestrial fauna and avifauna. The use of roadside habitats by animals that communicate using acoustic signals, such as birds, presents an interesting tradeoff between the presence of suitable habitat and the potentially detrimental effects of traffic noise and passing vehicles on survival rates, and breeding success. Some fauna will move from the area of the road side as a result of habitat loss and physical disturbance. Indiscriminate sand mining from active channels of rivers causes many adverse effects on the benthic fauna, which inhabits the bottom sandy substratum. Excessive sand extraction from rivers affects the eco-biology of many terrestrial insects whose initial life history begins in aquatic environments. In the fisheries point of view, loss of food in the form of benthic invertebrates is a major negative impact which will ultimately end up in the decline of inland fishery resource of the area. MITIGATION MEASURES To the extent practicable, the right-of-way (ROW) to avoid residential areas and important wildlife habitat areas (e.g., rookeries, raptor nesting areas, calving areas). 4-9

KO FINAL EIA REPORT CHAPTER-4: IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES All equipment should have sound-control devices no less effective than those provided on the original equipment. Motorized equipment used should be adequately muffled and maintained. Use exhaust silencers and optimized acoustical pipe lagging (acoustical wrapping) to minimize compressor noise. A strict monitoring of the mining activity is utmost essential for reviving the health of the river ecosystem and in turn aquatic biology will be benefited. No mining will be carried out during the rainy season to minimize impact on aquatic life. As the mining site has no vegetation, thus clearance of vegetation is not required. Thus there will be no loss for wildlife. Sand extraction in vegetated riparian areas will be avoided. Undercut and incised vegetated banks will not be altered. Large woody debris in the riparian zone will be left undisturbed or replaced when moved and not be burnt. Sand stockpiles and/or vegetative debris will not be stored within the riparian zone. It is essential the spillage generated is evenly redistributed over mined voids as soon as possible after the operation has been completed. Operation and storage of heavy equipment within riparian habitat will be restricted. Access roads will not encroach into the riparian zones The removal or disturbance of instream roughness elements during sand extraction activities will be avoided and those that are disturbed will be replaced or restored. 4.2.8 SOCIAL IMPACT 4.2.8.1 IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECT The area is considered as industrially backward. The population in general does not have opportunities of earning from employment. The only employment to depend on is agriculture, which is seasonal. In the absence of any high employment potential activities, the people are economically backward. The mining operations will provide employment opportunities to the persons of nearby areas. The various indirect employment opportunities will also be generated. Several persons of the neighboring villages will be benefited with contract works, employment through contractors, running of jeeps, trucks, tractors water tankers and bullock carts on hire, and transport related business avenues. There will be some people who are engaged in trading of sand, stone and bajri. Therefore due to mining of sand, stone, and Bajri there is possibility of the per capita income improving. 4.2.8.2 IMPACT ON HEALTH Extraction from riverbanks and beds and the resultant generation of workers of sand mining sector are suffering from occupational hazards like skin allergies, eye and respiratory problems etc. Further, the deep pits created in the channel also can contribute to an increase in accidents in the working environment. This creates serious threat to residents in the area who depend on river water for their domestic purposes. 4-10

Increase in accidents as a result of rash driving of dumpers carrying sand through the roads may be a possibility. MITIGATION MEASURES In each of the areas of impact, measures have to be taken to reduce potentially significant adverse impacts and where these are beneficial in nature, such impacts are to be enhanced/augmented so that the overall adverse impacts are reduced to as low level as possible. It has to be ensured that all the workers are recruited locally so as to generate employment in the area. Welfare activities should be initiated in the area so as to improve the quality of life of the local people. 4-11

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES 5.1 ALTERNATIVES FOR SITE Mining of minerals is site specific in nature and the location of the proposed project is restricted to the geology and mineral deposition of the area. Safety, economical and technical constraints determine the mining methods to be employed. Unlike other industries, the project cannot be shifted to other sites. 5.2 ALTERNATIVE OF MINING METHOD The mining operation will comprise of the following steps: Survey and site demarcation by Forest Department Site preparation Surface Mining by Hand Tools Loading and transportation of minor minerals through trucks/dumpers after computerized Weighment Preference has been given to manual method for mining because of following reasons: Noise generated during mechanized method is high due to movement of heavy earthmoving machines. As the area falls under Seismic Zone V mechanized method may lead to increase risk of landslips and affects the nearby habitation. Due to movement of HEMM and blasting, nearby wildlife will get disturbed. These will not happen if manual method is adopted. 5-1

ADDITIONAL STUDIES 7.1 INTRODUCTION All types of industries face certain types of hazards which can disrupt normal activities normal activities abruptly and due to disaster like fires, inundation, failure of machinery to name a few. Similarly Riverbed mines also have risks which need to be addressed for which a disaster management plan has been formulated with an aim of taking precautionary steps to avert disasters and also take such action after disaster which limits the damage to minimum. The following natural/industrial problems may be encountered during the mining operation. Inundation: filling of the mine pit due to excessive rains Slope failures at the mine faces or stacks Accident due to fire (in forested areas) As per proposal made under the mining plan the area will be developed by means of manual opencast mining method. Extraction of minerals is to be carried out by manual means. Water table will not be touched during the mining process. No high risk accidents like landslides, subsidence flood etc have been apprehended. 7.2 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSULTATION The Forest Development Corporation organized a Public Hearing on 8 th May, 2015 to obtain Environmental Clearance for the mining and storage of sub-mineral in the Ganga River Kotawali under District Haridwar. A notice was published in the daily newspapers dated on 04.04.2015 informing the people about the proposed Public Hearing convened. The Public Hearing was organized at Van Vishram Bhawan, Chidyapur, premises under the chairmanship of the Additional District Magistrate (Finance) nominated by the District Magistrate, Haridwar.

No. Name / Address Points Discussed Reply by Proponent 1 Mohammad Irfan Ahmad from Chidiyapur village 2 Mohammad Abdul Rahim from Bhaguwala village 3 Mohammad Akbar and Mohammad Ismail from Bahguwala 4 Swami Brahmchari Dyanand, Matri Sadan, Haridwar, A lot of employment opportunities can be generated if the mining is done by the Forest Development Corporation and he also stated that the mining should be done through locals only and the vehicles overloading must not be allowed. The mining of deposited silt is essential. Besides mining, the required measures should be placed to protect the dams. Considering the fact that the mining is the only source of livelihood of the people residing in the region, hence mining should be reopened as soon as possible. The mining will also provide revenues to the government and requirement of materials for future construction project can also be fulfilled. They stressed the need of resuming of mining and they urged to stop the illegal mining activities immediately. Swami Brahmchari Dyanand has submitted a Counter Statement, which has been included as a part of the minutes of the Public Hearing. The points raised are: i. The executing organization has informed in its presentation that it has objection on sand, bajari, boulder etc., because sand, bajari, boulder etc., do not flow from upper part of the bank. The executing organization has not submitted any information regarding this. 7-2 The Proponent has ensured that only local people will be employed for mining activities. UAFDC has also ensured that specific routes will be identified to spread out the traffic with ingress and egress routes to avoid congestions/jams. Already system of weighing is installed and in operation which will be continuously monitored so that no overloading of vehicles happen. The proponent has ensured people that preference will be given to locals in mining activities and activities will be resumed as soon as permission is obtained from Government of India. It was ensured that the mining will be carried out in a scientific manner and proper permission will be taken from all concerned authorities. Replenishment study has already been carried out by Central Soil and Water Conservation Research and Training Institute (Indian Council of Agricultural research) and report has already been submitted to the concerned authority.

Environment and Forest Department, Government of India, highlights in its report of dated 27.03-15 that there is no replenishment of stone and boulder in the Ganga, as well as helping river like Rawasan hence the mining of stones and boulder must be avoided. iii. It has been mentioned in the synopsis of the project that the mining will led to replenishment of stones, whereas the reality is that no replenishment takes place. Hence, the mining of stones and boulders should be banned and a real study should be carried out for the mining of the sand iv. The areas of longitude and latitude as mentioned in the project are primarily passing through Jhilmil River, which should be challenged. If 25 25 percent area is left as per the proposal of the project, even then the longitude and latitude mentioned are not able to prove the work site under the project. Hence, the study area is wrong. v. Currently, the demarcation of the Rajaji Park has been modified. Hence, the mining distance should be determined on the basis of current demarcation 7-3 ToR for the study. Moreover, mine plan prepared by Kain Geotech and approved by Geology and Mining Division, Directorate of Industries, Dehradun, Uttarkhand vide letter no. 2252/Mine Plan/UKMine/Haridwar/2014-15 dated 9 th Mar, 2015 also mention about mining of sand, bajri and boulder. EIA Report and presentation were based on both mine plan and replenishment study. The latitude and longitude were given for extreme end points of meandering river. Matri Sadan tried to connect them in straight line rather than considering meandering river and without taking into account the map given in report and presentation. Authenticated distance of Rajaji National Park from respective project sites have been taken from Office of Director, Conservator Forest, Rajaji National Park, Dehradun and Uttarakhand vide letter no. 311/24-2 dated 14 th Aug, 2012.

He also objected on the information provided about the channelization of river by the Forest Department to the Government of India. He said that no deep study has been conducted about this vii. During the earlier Public Hearing, the Central Water and Soil Research Organization said that they have not conducted any study about the mining and replenishment of stones in the river Ganga. Whereas, the Government of India has earlier already stated that a detailed study should be carried out for this purpose to ensure the demarcation of the proposed mining area viii. He has also sought the detailed report about the actions taken against the illegal mining Based on the above facts, Swami Dyanand has accused the executing organization for submitting misleading facts and figures without undertaking comprehensive study of the area and he also challenged the authenticity of the report. Mining will be done according to the approved mine plan and all safeguard measures given in the document will be followed. The replenishment has been carried out by ICAR for respective rivers. The report has been prepared based on one season study as has been recommended by Government of India. UAFDC will start mining once all the requisite permissions are in place. The Additional District Magistrate, Haridwar assured the villagers that the administration will make an unbiased analysis of the complaints and take appropriate action. At the end, he thanked all the people present in the public hearing. The Regional Officer, Uttarakhand State Pollution Control Board, Haridwar announced the close of the Public Hearing.

A worker in a mine should be able to work under adequately safe and healthy condition. This is possible only when there is adequate safety in mines. Safety of the mine and the employees is taken care of by the Mining Rules & Regulations, which are well defined with laid down procedure for safety, which when scrupulously followed safety is ensured not only to manpower but also to machines & working environment. 7.3.1 POSSIBLE RISKS DUE TO INUNDATION & ITS CONTROL Mining will be done during the non-monsoon periods (October-June); therefore problem of inundation is not likely to happen. 7.3.2 DEWATERING Depth of mine is limited to 1.5 m depth only from the river bed level whereas the ground water flows at 3m to 6m below the bed level. Hence no dewatering is required. 7.3.3 POSSIBLE RISKS DUE TO FAILURE OF PIT SLOPE & ITS CONTROL Pits will be created of limited depth of 1.5 m only, thus the chance of failure of pit slope does not exist. 7.3.4 POSSIBLE RISKS DUE TO FAILURE OF WASTE DUMP & ITS CONTROL During extraction of sand, stone and bajri from Kotawali river bed; silt and clay will also be removed in form of waste materials. The excavated silt and clay will be used for backfilling of the pits. Therefore there is no risk associated with failure of waste dump. 7.3.5 POSSIBLE RISKS DUE TO FIRE AND ITS CONTROL The operation does not anticipate any fire disaster as there is no use of electrical equipments or any heavy machines other than dumpers. 7.3.6 MEASURES TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS DUE TO TRUCKS AND DUMPERS All transportation within the mine lease area should be carried out directly under the supervision and control of management. The vehicles will be maintained in good working condition and checked thoroughly at least once a month by the competent person authorized for the purpose by the management. Road signs will be provided at each and every turning point up to the main road (wherever required) To avoid danger while reversing the vehicles especially at working place/loading points, stopper should be posted to properly guide reversing/ spotting operating. 7-5

KO FINAL EIA REPORT CHAPTER-7: ADDITIONAL STUDIES 7.3.7 OTHER POSSIBLE MEASURES TO AVOID RISKS/DISASTERS DUE TO RIVER BED MINING Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) should not be stacked on the banks as it will hinder the flow of water in monsoon season. Mining of minerals/ working shall be started from dip side towards rise at the centre and also laterally from 1 meter slice so that river coarse will not get affected. The minerals will be mined out in a uniform wash so that the river flow/ coarse shall not get disturbed. Mining is to be done leaving safety barrier on both sides and maximum barrier should be on concave side of the river, preferably the flow channel (excavation void) created should be kept straight so as to help avoid erosion. River banks will not be excavated to form access ramps. Only excavated river gravel should be used to deposit against the river bank to form access ramps. 7.4 DISASTER MANAGEMENT The possible risks in the case of river bed mining project are high risk accidents like landslides, subsidence, flood, inundation in underground mines, fire, seismic activities, tailing dam failures etc. and emergency plan proposed for quick evacuation, ameliorative measures to be taken etc. Mining and allied activities are associated with several potential hazards to both the employees and public at large. A worker in a mine should be able to work under adequately safe and healthy condition. This is possible only when there is adequate safety in mines. Safety of the mine and the employees is taken care of by the Mining Rules & Regulations, which are well defined with laid down procedure for safety, which when scrupulously followed safety is ensured not only to manpower but also to machines & working environment. The capability of lessee to meet such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local authorities should be described. The shallow depth of activities in river bed mining will not involve any high risk accident due to side falls/collapse. The complete mining operation will be carried out under the Management and control of experienced and qualified Mines Manager having Certificate of Competency to manage the mines granted by DGMS. All the provisions of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules 1955, RMMCR 1986 and other laws applicable to mine will strictly be complied with. During heavy rainfall the mining activities will be closed. All persons in supervisory capacity will be provided with proper communication facilities. Competent persons will be provided FIRST AID kits which they will always carry. For coping with natural disasters, the Management Plan as compiled and prepared for the State of Uttarakhand shall be followed. 7-6

FINAL ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR RIVER BED MINING PROJECT- LOCATED IN GANGA RIVER, & CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND CHAPTER-9 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN PROJECT BY: CORPORATION, UK LIMITED

ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE FOR RIVER BED MINING WITH PROPOSED PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 75975.47 m 3 /ANNUM ROM IN (74.67 HA) (A TRIBUTARY OF RIVER GANGA) AT AND CHIDYAPUR VILLAGES, HARIDWAR DISTRICT, UTTARAKHAND KO 9. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN 9.1 INTRODUCTION The environmental impact assessment presented in previous chapter is based on the control measures. It is concluded that the mining activities having substantial, but reversible impact on environment and the suggestive measures should be taken so as to minimize the impacts. Environmental management plan details the environmental quality control measures which are proposed for this project to achieve the production of 75975.47 m 3 /annum of sand, bajri & boulder (Minor Minerals). The mitigation measures which reduce the impact have already been identified earlier in this report. To minimize the adverse impact, certain additional EMP is enumerated below for implementation. Environment Management Plan, which is to be implemented in the project has detailed under the following heads: Land use pattern and river course environment Air Environment Water Environment Noise Environment Solid waste Management Biological Environment including Plantation Development Implementation of EMP and monitoring Programme 9.2 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Environmental Management Plan serves no purpose if it is not implemented with true spirit. Some loopholes in the EMP can also be detected afterwards when it is implemented and monitored. Thus, it is important to have a well devised environment monitoring plan. The major attributes of environment are not confined to the mining site alone. Implementation of proposed control measures and monitoring programme has an implication on the surrounding area as well as for the region. Therefore, mine management should strengthen the existing control measures as elaborated earlier in this report and monitor the efficiency of the control measures implemented within the mining area relating to the following specific areas for eco-friendly mining plan: Collection of air and water samples at strategic locations with frequency suggested and by analyzing thereof. If the parameters exceed the permissible tolerance limits, corrective measure will be taken. Collection of soil samples at strategic locations once in every year and analysis thereof with regard to harmful constituents, if any. 9-1

KO FINAL EIA REPORT CHAPTER-9: ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN The effectiveness of drainage system depends upon proper cleaning of all drains provided in the surrounding of mine area. Any blockage due to siltation or loose material will be checked at least once in a month. Measurement of water level fluctuations in the nearby ponds, dug wells and bore wells will be done. Regular visual examination will be carried out to look for erosion of river banks. Any abnormal condition, if observed will be taken care of. Measurement of noise levels at mine site, stationary and mobile sources, and adjacent villages will be done in every quarter of the year. Plantation/afforestation should be done as per program. Regular watering of plant and fencing to protect them from cattle/goats has to be provided. Post plantation, the area will be regularly monitored in every season for evaluation of success rate. For selection of plant species local people should also be involved. Mine management will be in regular touch with local surrounding villages to update the various developmental schemes made by them. They will also consider any immediate requirement, which could be taken care of in near future. 9.3 LAND-USE PATTERN AND RIVER COURSE ENVIRONMENT Deviation from planned mining procedure can lead to bank erosion/cutting and thereby river channel shifting and degradation of land, causing loss of properties. Thus for environment friendly river bed mining the following control/abatement measures will be followed: Mineral will be mined out in central position of stream leaving 25% width of the river on either side of the river. So that the river flow / course will not get disturbed. Mining of minerals will be started from dip side towards rise at the centre and also laterally in 1 meter slice so that the river course will not get affected. Unwanted material including mineral or spillage (if any) will not be stacked by the side of the excavation area. If need be done then it should be dozed afterwards in excavation voids created. This is to be done so, because it will otherwise hinder the flow of water in monsoon season. Mining is to be done leaving safety barrier on both sides and maximum barrier should be on concave side of river. Preferably the flow channel (excavation void created) should be kept straight so as to help avoid erosion as side cutting. The proposed river bed mining is unlikely to change any characteristic of the river bed as the permitted mining volume is based upon annual replenishment as has been calculated by ICAR. 9.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT In order to minimize impacts of mining on air quality and to maintain it within the prescribed limits of CPCB/SPCB, an Environment Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared. This will help in mitigating the impacts likely to happen to air environment due to mining in the area. During the course of mining no toxic 9-2

In river bed mining activities, the only source of gaseous emission is the fugitive dust generation during mining and from the engines of vehicles transporting the mined materials. The following mitigation measures are suggested to control the fugitive dust generation during mining and transportation: Proper mitigation measures like water sprinkling on haul roads will be adopted to control fugitive dust emission. Plantation will be carried out on approach roads and nearby vicinity of river bank. To control the emissions regular preventive maintenances of vehicles will be done and all transportation vehicles will carry a valid PUC certificate. 9.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT Proper maintenance of all vehicles will be carried out which will help in reducing generation of noise during operations. No other equipments accept the transportation vehicles will be allowed as the mining will be completely manual. Periodical monitoring of noise will be done and corrective actions will be adopted. Plantation will be taken up along the approach roads which will minimize propagation of noise. 9.6 WATER MANAGEMENT 9.6.1 SURFACE WATER & GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT Mining in the area will be done well above the water table as well as river bed water level. Therefore impact on water regime is not anticipated. River bed mining will be done up to depth of 1.5 m from the surface as suggested by Central Soil & Water Conservation Research and Training Institute, Dehradun. Mining will not intersect the river bed water level or ground water table of the area. So not at all disturbing water environment. 9.7 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT Solid waste (clay & silt) that will be generated during mining activities as spillage will be utilized for filling of the mine voids. Apart from this, no other solid wastes will be generated from the said mining operations. There is no toxic element present in the mineral which may contaminate the soil. 9.8 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT The mining activity will have insignificant affect on the existing flora and fauna. Secondary data have been considered from various Government Departments such as forests, agriculture, fisheries, animal husbandry and various offices to establish the pre-project biological environmental conditions by ICAR.

KO FINAL EIA REPORT CHAPTER-9: ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN The project area is surrounded by reserved forests on the banks are also lined with agricultural land. The purpose of the project itself is to save the flora around the project area from river widening, excessive erosion and floods. It was found that the sand mining activity will not have any significant impact on the biological environment of the region. There is a requirement to establish a stable ecosystem with both ecological and economic returns. Minimization of soil erosion and dust pollution enhances the beauty of the core and the buffer zone. To achieve this, it has been planned to increase plantation activities. The basic objectives of plantations are as follows:- Improvement of Soil quality Quick vegetative cover to check soil erosion Improvement in river bank stability Conservation of biological diversity Provide forage and browse for wild life 9.8.1 GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT AND BIO-DIVERSITY PRESERVATION Compensatory afforestation on degraded forest land, forest protection / conservation and river training measures will be carried out every year from the fund collected from disposal / sale of RBM. This activity will promote the emergence of the primary succession species; hence it will be a silvicultural operation, extremely important for maintaining ecology and environment of the area. Plantation will be carried along the river banks or along the road sides or near the civic amenities in consultation with local authority. The species selected for greenbelt development are given below:- Sl. No. Common Name Scientific Name 1 Seemal Bombax ceiba 2 Bel Aegle marmelos 3 Kathal Artocarpus integrifolia 4 Kachnar Bauhinia acuminata 5 Amla Emblica officinalis 6 Hoom Ficus tomentosa 7 Castor Oil Ricinus communis 8 Kala siris Albizia lebbeck 9 Palas Butea monosperma 10 Harad Terminalia chebula 9.8.2 MANAGEMENT OF FAUNA Conservation plan for Schedule I & II fauna has been prepared by Uttarakhand Forest Development Corporation and an amount of 20.85 lacs has been kept for implementation of the proposed conservation plan. The detailed conservation plan is attached as Annex 9.1. The following management measures are suggested to reduce the impact upon fauna: 9-4

Undercut and incised vegetated banks will not be altered. Large woody debris in the riparian zone will be left undisturbed or replaced when moved and not be burnt. Sand stockpiles and vegetative debris will not be stored within the riparian zone. It is essential that the spillage generated is evenly redistributed in mine voids. Operation and storage of heavy equipment within riparian habitat will be restricted. Access roads will not encroach into the riparian zones. The removal or disturbance of instream roughness elements during sand extraction activities will be avoided and those that are disturbed will be restored or replaced. 9.9 SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT The environmental management plan has been developed with a view to bring down the levels of impacts within limits. In each of the areas of impact, measures have to be taken to reduce potentially significant adverse impacts and where these are beneficial in nature, such impacts are to be enhanced/augmented so that the overall adverse impacts are reduced to as low level as possible. For improving the socio-economic environment, proper CSR activities will be taken up in vicinity to uplift the condition of people. 9-5
