Environmnet Impact Assessment (EIA) Study-Air Quality To monitor the ambient air quality two stations in core zone and eight stations in buffer zone on priority basis have been fixed.
Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at a frequency of two days per week at each location during the winter season starting from December, 2020 to February, 2021.
The duration of sampling of Particulate Matter (PM2.5 & PM10), SO2, NOx and CO was carried out continuously for twenty four hourly per day.
Samples of air were tested in the MoEF & CC and NABL accredited laboratory of M/s Center for Envotech & Management Consultancy Pvt. Ltd., Bhubaneswar.
It has been observed from the sample analysis report that all the values are within prescribed limit.<br>

Environmnet Impact Assessment (EIA) Study-Water Quality Water quality parameters of 5 (five) Surface and 5 (five) Ground water resources within 10km radius of the study area have been studied during the winter season starting from December, 2020 to February, 2021.
Samples of water were also tested in the MoEF & CC and NABL accredited laboratory of M/s Center for Envotech & Management Consultancy Pvt. Ltd., Bhubaneswar.
The analytical results of surface water samples at different location for various parameters reveal that all the parameters comply with “IS 2296: Class C” standards indicating their suitability for drinking and other purposes after conventional treatment followed by disinfection.
The analytical results of groundwater samples showed all the parameters are within the prescribed limits as per IS: 10500 standards for drinking water.<br>

Environmnet Impact Assessment (EIA) Study-Noise Quality 10 (Ten) noise monitoring stations were identified keeping in view the nature of the monitoring location i.e. residential areas in villages, schools, roads, etc. for the assessment of the existing noise levels in four directions. These are also the stations where air monitoring was undertaken in core & buffer zone.

Readings have been recorded during the winter season starting from December, 2020 to February, 2021.

Readings have been recorded at 1 hour interval for 24 hours.

From the analysis report it is concluded that the noise levels within the study area are well within the specified CPCB standards.<br>

Environmnet Impact Assessment (EIA) Study-Soil Quality Soil samples were collected during the winter season starting from December, 2020 to February, 2021 from six different sampling locations and were analyzed for the soil structure, texture, moisture, content, nutrient level and other chemical parameters.

Soil samples were tested in the MoEF & CC and NABL accredited laboratory of M/s Center for Envotech & Management Consultancy Pvt. Ltd., Bhubaneswar.

The presence of organic carbon, N, P, K and moisture retaining capacity of the top soil indicates that the soils will support plant growth.<br>

Environment Management Plan The mining activities may disturb environment in various ways such as degradation of land, dust generation, deterioration of water and soil quality, affecting the biological and socio-economic environment of the area. For that suggested mitigation measures are as follows:
Water sprinkling on haul road and construction & maintenance of mines haul road to control fugititive dust emission. By covering the loaded material with tarpaulin sheets can minimize the air pollution due to dust generation.
Mine faces shall be regularly cleaned so as to ensure that the same is safe to work.
Vehicles having Pollution under Control (PUC) Certificate will be engaged in the mine. Regular maintenance and testing of all mining equipment as per manufacturer’s guidelines will be done.
Construction of garland drain around the dump, Construction of toilets with septic tank & soak pits, Water Treatment Plant for domestic use of mine pit water.
Suitable PPE will be provided to the exposed workers.
Entry of unauthorized persons will be prohibited.
The directives of Director General Mines’ Safety would be followed.<br>

Environment Management Plan For water conservation -contour bund, recharge pit, settling pond, coco filtration etc. can be done. Pond shall be the post mining use of land in the ML area. It shall fulfill the water need of the area for agriculture and will also be used for pisciculture.
Massive afforestation on abandoned mining benches, overburden dumps and other areas shall be done to increase the biodiversity of the local ecosystem and to control air pollution as well as noise pollution.
Provision of safety shoes, dust mask, safety goggles, ear plugs, safety helmets, etc. to workers. Construction of Rest Shelters & First Aid Centre.
Rotation of workers exposed to high noise areas.
It shoul be planned for blasting only in day time on a particular hour, where the movements of the people are restricted and minimal.
The rest shelter must be away from the blasting operation area.
The workers will be periodically checked under Rule 29 (b) of Mines Rule, 1952 and if any worker found to have any occupational disease will be immediately removed from the proposed mine area and will be supported with proper medical care.
Training to the workers on safety aspects, implementation of traffic rules & codes to avoid casualties.<br>

Estimated Project Cost & Environmental Cost and Project Benefit Estimated Capital cost for the Pachwara South Coal Block project is 1795.01 crore (base January, 2018).

Total capital cost towards Environment Protection has been estimated as Rs. 22.30 crore and total recurring cost for the entire life of the mine (38 years) has been estimated as Rs. 36.71 crore. Therefore, operational cost for Environment Protection would be around Rs. 0.96 Crore/year.

Coal from this project is linked to Ghatampur Thermal Power Plant, with a capacity of 1980 MW (3 X 660 MW) at Ghatampur Tehsil in Kanpur Nagar District, Uttar Pradesh.

Benefit to economy due to this specific project will be around 18530.21 Crore.

The national economy will gain to the extent of Rs. 3340.25 crore by the way of wages payable to about 1288 numbers of permanent employees for 38 years and it is expected that around 3000 persons will get indirect employment from this project.<br>

Social Impact Assessment (SIA) Study The SIA study has been conducted in and around Pachwara South Coal Block to formulate compensation package for the PAP and PAF’s.

Following benefits have been structured for the PAP and PAF’s:

Subsistence grant/allowance for displaced families.
Provision of housing units in case of displacement.
Transportation cost for displaced families.
Resettlement Allowance (for displaced families).
Cattle shed/petty shop cost.
Artisan/small traders/others (in case of displacement).

In addition, extra benefits will be provided to SC/ST families as per the provision of RFCTLARR Act, 2013.

For resettlement of populations, infrastructural facilities and basic minimum amenities will be provided as per Schedule-III of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013 to ensure that the resettled population in the new colony can secure for themselves a reasonable standard of community life and can attempt to minimise the trauma involved in displacement. The area of land required for any R & R colony will be acquired by considering the land use breakup and the village population.<br>
