4. PP submitted that about 400 m road is passing through Sannehi Bara Tola
Village to SannehiSingti village the same is to be diverted to the adjacent non-
mining area, with length of512 m road. The other part of road around 623m is
passing through Sannehi Singti village to Dithoura village is to be diverted with the
length of 753 m. The proposed diversion road will be constructed after maintaining
proper gradient and providing tar on the surface. PP also proposed that thick
plantation on the both sides of road to act as barrier, which would cover around
6.816 ha with 17040 no of trees. PP also submitted that 400 KVA HTline with the
length of 1930m passes through the lease area in East-West direction, having width
of 12 m. PP submitted that, for HT line 50m barrier will be kept as a safety barrier
all along and thick plantation will be developed with 2500 trees per ha total no of
trees will be around 47,100 in safety barrier. PP submitted that there are no
homesteads within the Mine lease, however the no of land owners are 306, PP need
to prepare a detailed R&R studies which will be carried out and incorporate in the
Final EIA/EMP report.

5. The PP submitted that the said mine will be a captive mine for existing
cement Plant. The method of mining will be opencast mechanized method with
Drilling, blasting. During mining operation, 1.74 MTPA waste mineral rejects will be
‘generated and 0.44 MTPAalluvium/ topsoil will be generated. Thus total excavation
~ will be 3.03 MTPA. The topsoil, waste and mineral rejects will be stacked separately
_with the 10m height with the slope of 28°. The dump will be covered with the
temporary shrubs. The soil will be utilized for plantation purpose and spreading
over the backfilled area with an average of 2.31m thick layer. The PP submitted
that the depth of mining wil! be max 70 m [Avg.45.54m]and the ground water level
in the area is 40 to 45 m bg! in pre monsoon and 35 to 40 m bgl in post monsoon.
Thus the mining will intersect the ground water after 11 years of mining.

6. PP reported that there are no national parks, wild life sanctuaries and eco-
sensitive zones in the proposed study area. Three reserve forests are within 5 Km
from ML boundary. A lake is situated near Govindgarh at a distance of 7.7 km, SE
from ML boundary. The Bihar nadi is flowing around 50 meters away from the lease
boundary towards SE direction and three numbers of seasonal nallahs flows inside
mine lease area towards East, West and Southeast side. In order to protect
river/water streams, PP proposed 50 m safety barrier from the water streams with
plantation, the safety barrier will be having 2500 trees per ha. It is also proposed to
have embankment of two meters above the existing ground RLto arrest flooding.

7. PP reported that the total water requirement will be 183 KLD from ground
water, for dust suppression, washing of mining machinery, plantation and domestic

M/s RCCPL Private Limited Page 3 of 14

ep
purpose. After five years of operation, considering the development of mines and
filling of mine pit by rain water harvesting, fresh water requirement will be reduced
considerably.

8. -The total cost of the project is 110 Crores. The project will generate
employment for 20 persons in direct and 83 indirect form.

in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 114 of 2014 in the matter of Common Cause versus
Union of India and Ors.

10. The proposal was earlier considered by the EAC in its meeting held during
April 23-24, 2019, wherein the committee deferred the proposal for want of
requisite information. PP vide letter no Ref No: RCCPL/Bigodi_MP/MoEF&CC/02
