AIR POLLUTION MITIGATION MEASURE Overburden material will be stacked at lower height & at identified place. Regular water sprinkling is carried out. During loading & unloading regular water spraying will be carried out. Water spraying of haul roads and other roads at regular intervals. Regular water sprinkling & strengthening of road will be carried out to avoid dustiness due to vehicular transportation. Provision of dust filters / mask to workers. All trucks are well covered by tarpaulin sheet. Provision of green belt all along the periphery of project site as well as along the road side leading to pucca road. Lying of haul roads as per the standards, black topping of permanent haul roads and service roads to avoid or eliminate air borne dust. Speed of the vehicles should be maintained within the prescribed limits. Trucks will not be over loaded and should be maintained to the body level. Condition of all trucks will be well maintained & its lubrication & maintenance records will be kept. Old age trucks will not be utilized.

For control of noise pls. refer prefeasibility study report pg. no. 14. PLAN FOR MANAGING STORM WATER: Generally mining is not carried out during monsoon while mine is filled by storm water. Floor area of mine will be kept tapered to runoff stormed water at lower level. Storm water will be stored at this one deep corner of lower level lease area Mine is dewatered by means of pumps after monsoon is over for its further reuse in water sprinkling & tree plantation purpose. Storage of over burden will be kept at periphery of mine area to prevent surface water runoff into mines and divert it in to nearby natural drain Pls. refer prefeasibility study report pg. no. 8.
