EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.0 LOCATION
Suliyari-Belwar Coal block is located in the southern part of the Singrauli Coalfield
(Main Basin).The Singrauli Coal Block comprising parts of villages of Aamdand,
Amraikoh, Belwar, Dongri, Jheleri, Majholipath and Seerswah of Waidhan Tehsil of
Singrauli district, Madhya Pradesh. The area falls in Survey of India Topo sheet
No.64 I/5 and lies between North latitude 23055’28” to 230 58’ 15” and East longitude
820 18’ 52” to 820 20’ 58”.
2.0 COMMUNICATION
The accessibility to the area is somewhat poor. Waidhan-Sidhi state highway via
Bargawan traverses 25 Km north of the block and runs almost along the boundary of
Moher Sub-Basin & Main Basin. A metalled road Parsona to Mara is located farther
east of the block. An unmetalled weather road branching of this road at Rajmelan
leads to Sarai. From this road to west of River Mahan, roughly north-south running
kutcha road, leads to Langadda via Bhalyatola, Suliyari and Jhalari. The block is also
approachable by a kutcha road, bifurcating from Raila, leading to Suliyari.
In the rainy season major part of the block is not accessible.The distance of
Bargwan, the nearest railway station on Chopan-Singrauli-Katni line of central
railway is about 25 km from the block. The nearest Airport is Varanasi is about 250
km from Waidhan. The important industrial township & railway station Renukoot is at
a distance of 70 km from Waidhan on Chopan-Garhwa Road section of eastern
railway. Renukoot township is well connected with Hawrah, Tatanagar, Delhi etc. by
direct train.
3.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Government of A.P. made out a State Coal Mining Policy wide GOMS No.285,
dt.20-10-2006 in order to augment coal production (within the State and outside
state) to meet the growing demand for the coal and also with an objective to meet
the demand of APGENCO on priority for generation of power. State Coal Mining
Policy also intends to fulfil statutory obligation of mining in Tribal areas through
public sector undertaking, generation of employment and assured power supply in
the state for industrialisation etc.
As per this policy APMDC shall operate the coal mines allotted to it by itself, and
supply coal to other power generating companies as may be decided by the GOAP
after meeting the requirements of APGENCO on priority.
The Suliyari-Belwar Coal Block allotted to M/s Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development
Corporation Limited (A Government of AP Undertaking) in 2007 under Government
Company dispensation scheme for commercial mining (priority captive mine block).
Suliyari-Belwar coal block exists in Main basin of Singrauli Coalfield. which lie in the
extreme southern part of the Singrauli Coalfield (Main Basin).It is located near
Waidhan Township in singrauli district which is 45 Km from the block.

The Geological reserves are calculated basing on Isochore plans of Geological

Report. The Geological reserves in proposed quarry area are 95.31 Mt. Thus, the
reserves locked up in the barrier and quarry batters are 15.52 Mt.
The mineable reserves are estimated by deducting the barrier and batter reserves
from geological reserves. The extractable reserves for opencasting are arrived at by
deducting 10% losses due to dilution and mining loss. The total extractable reserves
are estimated as 71.81 Mt and overburden is 604.03 M.Cu.m with an average
stripping ratio of 8.41 cum/t.

The total Block area is 12.98 Sq.Km where as opencastable area is 8.12 Sq.Km
(upto VII Bottom seam floor) with a borehole density of 9.85 boreholes / Sq.Km.
Basing on the ash and moisture percentages the average useful heat value and
Gross calorific value of seams are calculated. The quality data on 60% RH at 400 C
equilibrated bases is available for 93 boreholes and the following formulas are used
for deriving UHV and GCV from Ash % and Moisture % of the seams
UHV= 8900-138(Ash%+Moisture %) in Kcal/Kg

GCV= 85.56*(100-1.1*(Ash%+Moisture%)-60*Moisture% in Kcal/Kg

9.0 Mining System
In Suliyari Belwar OCP (Phase-I) the OB is removed by Shovel-Dumper combination

and Coal is extracted by Surface miner.
It is planned to deploy 2 no’s surface miners of SM2200/3800 along with 5 Nos of

Front End Loaders and 21 Nos. of 35T dumpers to get the rated production of 5.0
Mt. overburden will be excavated by deploying 9 No’s of 20 Cum Electric Hydraulic
shovels in combination with 61 No’s of 170T rear dumpers and 3 Nos of 3/3.2 Cum
Diesel Hydraulic backhoe shovels in combination with 38 Nos of 35T rear dumpers.
The thin OB layers of soft nature may also be tried with surface miners.
Bench slope has been designed to be at an angle of 70º to the horizontal. Working
benches are proposed to have a width of 40 m. 20 Cum Shovels shall be deployed in
the upper horizons for Top OB and thicker partings. 3.0/3.2 Cum shovels shall be
deployed in lower horizons for thinner partings.
It has been envisaged that wherever possible, coal and OB faces may be staggered
along the strike to avoid intermixing of material. Suitable numbers of dozers have
been provided to minimise the mixing of OB materials so that the dilution is kept at a
minimum possible extent. The quarry has been so planned considering geo-mining
parameters like strike length, gradient of seam etc.
Ramps at 1 in 16 gradients for evacuation of coal and OB from different working

horizons will be required to be prepared while working the quarry.
The coal will be transported largely through advancing benches and the mine floor
upto the main haul road and also through the side batters. Coal through this haul
road will be transported upto the Coal receiving hopper. From there coal will be
transported to the CHP through series of belt conveyors.
9.1 Details of outsourcing
It is proposed to outsource overburden removal and coal extraction of the project.
Job No. 0120 vii The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd.

Scope of work:
The scope of work for OB removal as per outsourcing is as follows:
• Blast hole drilling

• Controlled blasting with shock tube initiation
• Excavation
• Loading, transportation and dumping, etc. of overburden
Preparation of roads, ramps, dozing, leveling, garland drains and other EMP works
are in the scope of the contract. Explosives & accessories and diesel would be
supplied by APMDC.
The cost of OB removal is estimated based on a recent contract awarded with similar
scope of work by SCCL. Average lead, during the 15 years of coal operation period,
works out to 4.1 Km. Diesel rate per liter is Rs 45.74.
Based on the year-wise lead and lift estimated for the Suliyari Belwar OC Project
(Phase-I), the average cost of OB removal is assessed at Rs 83.96 per Cum
(including service tax & educational cess at 12.36%).
The details of excavation, diesel, and explosive costs are as shown below:
Rs per
Particulars Rs/Cum Tonne
Excavation Cost 34.47 290.96
Diesel Cost 41.21 339.44
Explosive cost 9.28 78.33
Total 83.96 708.74
Thus, the cost of OB removal by outsourcing works out to Rs 708.74 per tonne of
coal produced at 100% performance level.
The scope of work for Coal extraction with surface miner as per offloading order is as

13.0 Dumping Strategy
The quarrying of Suliyari Belwar Opencasr Project (Phase-I) produces 71.81 Mt of

Coal and 604.03 M.Cum of overburden and the total volume of excavation of
overburden and coal is estimated at 650.13 M.Cum. The total OB excavated is to be
adjusted within the quarry as no land is identified for the external dump.
The area of excavation of Suliyari Belwar Opencast (Phase-I) is 807.86 Ha. The life
of the project is 17 years including construction period with a production capacity of
5.00 Mtpa.
13.1 Design Criteria
The following design criteria has been considered for waste dumps.
i) Separate spoil dumps for Top soil and other OB.

ii) Maximum height of Top soil dump will be 10 meters.
iii) Main OB is to be dumped in 30 m high decks.
iv) 30 m berm width for allowing safe transport of HEMM.
Job No. 0120 x The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd.

v) Dump slope for each deck to be at 37.5 0 and overall slope at 22.730.
vi) Track Dozers will be deployed for shaping the dumps.
vii) Maximum height of Internal dump yard is 120m above ground level.
13.2 Location of Dump Yards
It is proposed to accommodate the overburden in the following dump yards:
(1) Internal dump yard.

(2) Temporary dump yard where from OB is to be rehandled.
(3) Temporary storage of Top soil.
13.3 Hard Overburden
The total hard OB produced in the project is 599.98 M.Cum. The Hard OB is
accommodated in internal dump yard. Initial five years of mining operations, part of
the hard OB produced will be dumped in temporary external dump yard and
remaining OB dumped in internal dump yard. From 6th year of mining operations, the
OB dumped in temporary dump yard will be rehandled and accommodated in internal
dump yard.
Temporary External dump yard within the Block.
Temporary External dump yard is located on the North side of Suliyari belwar coal
block. It occupies an area of 68.11 Ha of non-forest land. The total hard OB that is
estimated to be accommodated in this dump yard is 28.33 M.Cum. The dump yard is
planned to a maximum height of 90 m above Ground Level. OB will be dumped in
this dump yard from 1st to 5th years and thereafter from 6th to 10th year, OB from this
dump yard will be rehandled and dumped in internal dump yard. Because there is no
area for external dumping as surrounding area of quarry is coal bearing area.
Internal dump yard
The internal dump yard is designed on west side of the haul road leaving a safety
clearance of 200m. Internal dumping in the voids of Suliyari belwar Opencast Project
(Phase-I) will commence from 3rd year and will continue till the end of the project life.
It is proposed to dump 599.98 M.Cum of hard overburden in an extent of 551.87Ha.
The maximum height of this dump yard is 120m above ground level.
Top soil
A total of 4.05 M.Cum of Top soil will be produced during the project life. Adequate
care has been taken to preserve the Top soil in temporary storage dump yards and
spread over the dumps in the later stage in a systematic manner.
The details of Top soil production and spreading on the internal dumps, storage and
re-handling from the Temporary storage area in different stages is indicated below:

Only 100% of overburden produced during the project life is deposited in the Internal
dump yard. But 5%of total OB is re-handled during project life due to non availability
of external dump area. At the end of the project life, void of 195.29 M.Cum will be
left. This void will be backfilled by OB produced from Suliyari Belwar Opencast
Project (Phase-II)
14.0 Drilling & Explosive Consumption
The blast parameters have been established after actual field trials considering the
local geo-mining conditions.
Whenever the mine boundary approaches the danger zone of 300m from
villages/dwellings/structures etc., controlled blasting and vibration study have to be
conducted by scientific agency for relaxation of danger zone, i.e. to work within 300
m.
Drilling and blasting operations are proposed to be carried out in a way that they
facilitate the separation in coal and OB removal process. These operations may be
suitably modified to ensure separation in mining of coal and OB and to suit local site
conditions. However, based on experience on coal measure rocks of similar
characteristics, it is proposed that spacing, burden and depth for
250 mm Dia holes: OB : 7 X 6 X 10m

Ground vibration produced by blasting depends on various factors namely,
a) Geology of the strata.

b) Maximum charge per delay.
c) Distance of blast point to observation station,
Job No. 0120 xii The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd.

Site-specific conditions vary from site to site.
For the controlled blasting operations, the following will be considered in general:
1) Distance between blasting point and the structure to be protected will be

earmarked.
2) A free face will always be maintained.
3) In multi row blasting, greater relief will be provided between rows using
suitable delay intervals.
4) Proper use of different type of relays for proper sequencing of the blast will be
used. Non-electric down the hole delay detonators shall be used.
5) All loose debris will be cleared off the blasting site.
6) All the holes will be suitably muffled before blasting to control the fly rock.
For the reduction of ground vibrations, in addition to the above, the following will be
considered in general.
a) Blasting design and initiation pattern shall be such that the maximum charge
per delay is within the stipulated range.
b) Wherever possible, the progress of detonating holes, through delay intervals,
should progress away from the structures to be protected
c) Burden and spacing should be to the requirement
d) Blasting should be avoided during cloudy days and when the wind is blowing
towards structures.
Overburden requires drilling and blasting prior to excavation. 250 & 100 mm RBH
Drills are provided for drilling on OB.
15.0 MANPOWER AND PRODUCTIVITY
Man Power requirement
The entire OB removal and coal extraction operations will be taken up by

outsourcing where as CHP, Pumping, Lighting and supervision will be done by
APMDC.
The average daily attendance required to achieve the rated production of 5.00 Mtpa
is estimated to be 195. After considering absenteeism towards authorized leave, sick
etc., the men on roll for the project is 217 for departmental works.
For the outsourcing activities around 1300 manpower may be required. Requirement
varies with the equipment, period of contract etc.
16.0 POWER SUPPLY
The source of power for the project is proposed to be transmitted from 132/33KV
substation located at nearby proposed block. 33kV line will be laid from this
substation to the project site from where it is proposed to establish another substation
for feeding the power to different mining equipment like Mining machinery, pumps,
lighting, colonies etc. The sub-station is provided with 3 no of 8 MVA, 33/6.6KV
transformers (1 Stand by) and 2 no of 3.15MVA, 33/3.3KV transformers to meet the
power requirement of project.

20.0 JUSTIFICATION
Coal from this block ensure APGENCO with consistent supply of coal required
for it’s power plants.
Coal deposit is amenable for opencast mining with relatively low stripping ratio
of 8.41 cum/T.
Opencast method is relatively safe and provides better recovery/conservation

of coal and reduces gestation period.
The development of this coal block will provide better social and economic life
to the otherwise less developed area. It will also give a boost to the industrial
activity in around the coal block area with direct and indirect employment
opportunities.
21.0 RISK FACTOR ANALYSIS
Seven villages are to be rehabilitated. The delay, if any, in relocation of the

same will seriously affect the progress of the quarry operations.
A Hurdul Nala nala passing over the property has to be diverted along the dip
side in northern direction. Adequate care has to be taken to ensure free flow
of water.
A 765 HT line passing over the property is to be diverted.
A railway line is proposed from Gajri bahera railway station to the Suliyari
Belwar Opencast Project for transport of coal to power plants of APGENCO.
The delay will affect the dispatch of coal.

The mining area of Suliyari Belwar Coal Block is spread over about 12.98 Sq.Km.
The regional exploration and detailed exploration was carried out by MECL. A total
meterage drilled is 18938.50 m in 128 bore holes. The net geological reserves of the
block are 142.091 Mt
1.3 PRESENT PROPOSAL
Suliyari Belwar Coal Block is allotted to APMDC Ltd under dispensation scheme, to
meet the needs of the end use customers of A.P.M.D.C i.e., APGENCO.
The total geological reserves estimated in the block are 142.091 Million tonnes (Mt)
upto a depth of 350m of V seam. The present proposal is for extraction of coal
reserves upto 245m depth line of VII Bottom seam in Non forest land by Opencast
method. The total Geological reserves upto 245m depth line of VII Bottom seam in
proposed quarry area are 95.31 Mt. and the extractable reserves are 71.81 Mt. It is
proposed to extract coal in Forest land area in Phase-II after detailed exploration is
done in Forest area. Further, it is proposed to extract below VII Bottom seams by
Underground Technology at a later stage. The annual coal production capacity of the
project is 5.00 Mt and the life is 17 years.
As the forest land exists in block area and detailed exploration was not done in that
area. It is proposed to work the opencast in Non forest area of the block to avoid
delay as phase-I. The present proposal is to extract 71.81 Mt of coal and 604.03
M.Cum of Overburden at a Stripping ratio of 8.41 Cum/T by opencast method upto
245m depth line of VII Bottom seam .
1.4 SALIENT FEATURES OF THE PROJECT
1. The Suliyari Belwar OC project Phase-I is planned upto a depth of 245 m of VII
Bottom seam in Non Forest area of the Block.
2. It is proposed to extract the Coal with Surface miner and Overburden removal
with Shovel-Dumper combination. The Project Report is prepared considering the
extraction of Coal and OB removal by departmental HEMM.
3. This Project will produce “G9/D” grade coal throughout life of the project.
4. This project is expected to achieve its rated capacity of production of 5.00 Mtpa in
4th year i.e.,(2nd year of mining operations).
5. The coal is proposed to be transported by rail from pit head CHP to power plants
of APGENCO. The coal will be transported from quarry to CHP by series of belts.

6. The total land requirement for Phase-I project is 1080.99 Ha ( Non-Forest land).
Out of the Non-Forest Land, 567.88 Ha is Private land and 513.11 Ha is
Government land.
7. Out of 1080.99 Ha, quarry area is 807.86 Ha within the Mining Lease area and
for safety zone, service buildings, roads, railway siding and Hurdul Nala diversion
273.13 Ha is required out side the Mining Lease area. The Mining lease will be
obtained from the Madhya Pradesh State Government.
1.5 JUSTIFICATION
1. Coal from this block ensure APGENCO with consistent supply of coal required for
it’s power plants.
2. Coal deposit is amenable for opencast mining with relatively low stripping ratio of
8.41 cum/T.
3. Opencast method is relatively safe and provides better recovery/conservation of

coal and reduces gestation period.
4. The development of this coal block will provide better social and economic life to
the otherwise less developed area. It will also give a boost to the industrial
activity in around the coal block area with direct and indirect employment
opportunities.
1.6 RISK FACTORS ANALYSED

1. Seven villages are to be rehabilitated. The delay, if any, in relocation of the same
will seriously affect the progress of the quarry operations.
2. A Hurdul Nala nala passing over the property has to be diverted along the dip
side in northern direction. Adequate care has to be taken to ensure free flow of
water.
3. A 765 HT line passing over the property is to be diverted.
4. A railway line is proposed from Gajri bahera railway station to the Suliyari Belwar
Opencast Project for transport of coal to power plants of APGENCO. The delay
will affect the dispatch of coal.
1.7 DEMAND AND SUPPLY
The total requirement of coal for the existing and ongoing projects of APGENCO is in
the order of 32.03 MT per annum against the linkage of 27.05 MT per annum. The
estimated supplies from MCL and SCCL including additional quantity from SCCL is
of the order of 25.05 Mt per annum leaving a shortfall of 6.98 MT per annum. The
demand and supply of coal to the APGENCO is shown below.

The present project, Suliyari-Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-I) is planned for a

targeted capacity of 5.0 MTPA. Above table reveals that the total availability of coal
linkage to the existing power plants is inadequate to meet the total demand and a
substantial gap remains unfulfilled. Therefore, this Suliyari-Belwar Opencast Project
(Phase-I) is justified to mitigate the demand-supply gap.

CHAPTER – 2
G E O L O G Y
2.1 GENERAL
The Singrauli coalfield is the northern-most part of the Son-Mahanadi Master Basin,
stretching over an area of 2200 Sq.km. The Suliyari-Belwar Coal block located in the
Main basin of Singrauli Coalfield. The Suliyari-Belwar Coal block spread over a total
12.98 Sq Km area is located at about 75 km south-west of Singrauli Township, the
district Headquarter, where as it is 45 km south-west of Waidhan Township, the
Tehsil Headquarter.
The Singruali coalfield forms the northern extremity of Son-Mahanadi master

Gondwana basin, at the junction region of east-west trending Damodar-Koel-
Tatapani graben and the NW-SE trending Son-Mahanadi rift zone; thus reflecting the
lithological and structural characteristics of both Damodar and Son valley Gondwana
basins. The northern limit of the Singruali coalfield is defined by a major east west
trending northern boundary fault, which is parallel to the Narmada-Son lineament.
The high standing Mahadeva hills are defining the southern boundary. Talchir beds
rest unconformably over Precambrian rocks and the Precambrian themselves, are
forming the eastern boundary whereas the western boundary is formed by the
contact of Precambrians and supra Barakar sediments.
2.2 GENERAL GEOLOGY OF SINGRAULI COALFIELD
The generalized stratigraphic succession (after Laskar, et.al 1977 and Raja Rao
1983) is given in Table-2.1.

2.3 STRUCTURAL SET- UP OF THE COALFIELD
The Singrauli Gondwana basin is composed of two tectono-sedimentary domains;

the Moher sub basin in the east and the main basin in the west. These two basins
are separated by a north-south trending elongated basement high, which is
blanketed by shallow superficial cover of basal Barakar strata. These two sub-
basinal structures show distinct patterns of sedimentation as well as structural
peculiarities of their own. Moher sub basin shows a broad basinal structure with
uneven undulations on its limbs. The western part of Singrauli main basin presents
a panorama of Lower and Upper Gondwana rocks. The most prominent structural
feature of the coalfield is northern boundary fault, which is indicated by brecciated
zone with pegmatite intrusions. This fault could be traced all along strike from
Majhauli village in the east to Marwas village in the west.
2.4 GEOLOGY OF SULIYARI BELWAR BLOCK
2.4.1 GENERAL
Geologically, Suliyari-Belwar coal block is eastern continuity of earlier explored

Dongri-Tal block. The entire block is covered by reddish brown sandy soil on plains
of Barakar Formations. Hence, the geological and structural set-up of Suliyari-
Belwar coal block is deciphered on the basis of sub-surface data obtained during
present exploration activities coupled with geological set-up evolved in adjoining
Dongri-Tal block.

2.4.3 STRUCTURAL SET- UP OF THE BLOCK

The Suliyari-Belwar Coal block located in the Main basin of Singrauli Coalfield. The
general strike of the sediments in the eastern part of the main basin is N-S and NW-
SE with westerly & south-westerly dips. But it is E -W (with minor swings) with
southerly dips in the western part of the basin. The general amount of dip in the
basin is around 5o to 10o.
The geological structure in Suliyari-Belwar block is complex geological structure as

the entire area is traversed by as many as sixteen normal gravity faults of varied
magnitudes. These faults have been designated as Fault F1 – F1 to fault F16-F16.
It is observed that, the magnitude of fault F1-F1, F15-F15, F16-F16 is more than 20

m whereas all other faults are of 5 m to 15 m magnitudes. It is pertinent to mention
here that, the number of minor Slips is also observed in boreholes causing
insignificant reduction of parting and seam thickness.
2.4.4 DESCRIPTION OF COAL SEAMS
2.4.4.1 General

Seam-V, Seam-IV, Seam-III,Seam-II and Seam-I.
Among these seams Upper seams i.e. From Seam-R2 to Seam VII Bottom are
planned to be extracted by opencast method and lower seams i.e. From Seam
Local-II (Top) to Seam-I are deep seated and can be mined by underground method
at a later stage. In the Upper seams, Seam VIII and Seam Local-III are unworkable

2.4.4.3 Grading
The Specific gravity has been calculated seam-wise for each grade by the formula:
Specific gravity = 1.29 + 0.01 x Mean Ash%
The grade wise Specific gravity considered for all the coal seams are given in the
Table below:
Grade Specific Gravity GCV(K.Cal/Kg) UHV(K.Cal/Kg)

A 1.4 >6333 >6200
B 1.45 5925 - 6333 5600 – 6200

F 1.68 3745 - 4399 2400 - 3360
G 1.75 2996 - 3745 1300 - 2400
The Useful Heat Values are calculated by using formula.

UHV = 8000 -138 (Ash% + Moisture%)
The Gross Calorific Values are calculated by using formula.
GCV = 85.56*(100 - 1.1(Ash% + Moisture%) - 60*Moisture%
GCV = 2111+0.681*UHV
For the purpose of calculations of quality and quantity for seam wise mineable coal
reseves of Suliyari Belwar Coal Block, the Specific gravity as detailed above have
been considered
2.4.4.4 RESERVES
The in-situ geological reserves of the Suliyari Belwar Coal block are estimated with
the detailed resources menu. The in-band thickness was considered for estimating
reserves of the block. I 100 was considered for Opencast seams and I 30 was
considered for Underground seams as the former is considered for opencast
feasibility and later for underground working.

A total of 142.091 million tonnes of net in-situ geological reserves has been
estimated in Suliyari Belwar Coal Block, out of which 122.409 million tones are
proposed for Opencast and 19.682 million tones are proposed for Underground. Out
of total reserves 126.574 million tones fall in “Proved” category and 15.517 Mt fall in
“Indicated” category.
A total reserves of 122.409 Mt has been estimated for Opencast, out of which
107.259 Mt fall in “Proved” category and 15.150 Mt fall in “Indicated” category. The
Indicated reserves which fall in Forest land are further assessed by drilling few more
bore holes.
The OCP reserves have been estimated for about ten correlatable and persisted
seams viz. Seam-R-II, R-I, Local-III, VII Top, VII Middle (Upper), VII Middle (Lower),
VII Middle (Merged), VII Bottom(Upper), VII Bottom (Lower) & VII Bottom.

SURFACE FEATURES
3.1 LOCATION
Suliyari-Belwar Coal block is located in the southern part of the Singrauli Coalfield
(Main Basin).The Singrauli coalfield is the northern-most part of the Son-Mahanadi
Master Basin which occupies a prominent position on the power map of India due to
its vast quarriable coal resources. The Suliyari-Belwar Coal block spread over a total
Tehsil Headquarter. The important villages in and around the block are Suliyari
village, located north of the block, while Belwar village is located in the south-eastern
part of the block, village Jhalari occupies western & part of central region and village
Majhalipath occupies eastern & part of central region of Suliyari-Belwar coal block.
The area falls in Survey of India Topo sheet No.64 I/5 and lies between North
latitude 230 55’28” to 230 58’ 15” and East longitude 820 18’ 52” to 820 20’ 58”.
3.2 COMMUNICATION
The accessibility to the area is somewhat poor. Waidhan-Sidhi state highway via
Bargawan traverses 25 Km north of the block and runs almost along the boundary of
Moher Sub-Basin & Main Basin.
A metalled road Parsona to Mara is located farther east of the block. An unmetalled
weather road branching of this road at Rajmelan leads to Sarai. From this road to
west of River Mahan, roughly north-south running kutcha road, leads to Langadda
via Bhalyatola, Suliyari and Jhalari. The block is also approachable by a kutcha road,
bifurcating from Raila, leading to Suliyari. In the rainy season major part of the block
is not accessible.
The distance of Bargwan, the nearest railway station on Chopan-Singrauli-Katni line

of central railway is about 25 km from the block. The nearest Airport is Varanasi is
about 250 km from Waidhan.
The important industrial township & railway station Renukoot is at a distance of 70

km from Waidhan on Chopan-Garhwa Road section of eastern railway. Renukoot
township is well connected with Hawrah, Tatanagar, Delhi etc. by direct train.
3.3 AVAILABILITY OF POWERSUPPLY, WATER ETC.,

substation which is located at nearby proposed block. The total power requirement
for this project is about 14.62MVA (6.6Kv – 11.308 MVA, 3.3KV – 3.312MVA).
The water required for the project will be met from the water pumped out from the
mine. The seepage / run off water will be collected in the identified sumps and is
pumped to surface by means of suitable capacity pumps. The water is treated in
slow sand filters followed by disinfection can be utilized for drinking and also
supplied to colonies for domestic purposes like drinking, washing, bathing etc. The

water required for industrial purpose such as washing, spraying, etc. is also met from
the pumped out water after necessary treatment. The permission from the State
Ground Water Department will also be obtained for its use.
3.4 PHYSIOGRAPHY
The topography of Suliyari-Belwar coal block is highly undulating and rugged as

evident from the topographical plan prepared on 1.0 m contour interval. The
northern and southern part of the block are occupied by hillocks of the elevation upto
500 m above MSL. In general the elevation of ground varies from 441.07 m as
observed in borehole MS-2 to 499.23 m in borehole MS-37 located in the south-
western and northern parts of the block respectively. A few hillocks are also
observed in the east of the block.
3.5 DRAINAGE
The Singrauli Coalfield is located in the drainage area of Son & Rihand rivers. The
block shows dendritic to sub-dendritic drainage pattern. The drainage of the block is
mainly controlled by westerly flowing Hardul Nala which traverses the block, in the
north-western part and passes throughout the block beyond south-western part of
the block. Many small seasonal nalas drained into Hardul Nala. In the north of the
block, Mahan river flows towards north.
The HFL of nala is not available. Hurdul nala has been surveyed recently. As per
survey ,Reduced levels on banks of Hurdul nala varying from 471.30m to 432.30m.
Hurdul nala is flowing from north east to southwest of the block.
3.6 RAINFALL
The monsoon period extends from June to September with an average rainfall of
1132.7 mm. The relative humidity varies from 19% in the month of May to 85%
during July to August. Rainfall recorded for the last 13 years in Singrauli district are

3.10 REHABILITATION & RESETTLEMENT
The Project entails complete displacement of seven villages viz. Aamdand,

Amraikoh, Belwar, Dongri, Jheleri, Majholipath and Seerswah.
Due to stratigaphical nature of the coal seams, opencast coal mining would be
followed. In the process, both inhabited and uninhabited areas of the seven villages
will be disrupted by excavation.
It is proposed to provide Rehabilitation and Resettlement package for the above

villages at a cost of Rs 203.50 Crores. The number of families to be rehabilitated is
1341 nos. from seven villages.
APMDCL has drafted Rehabilitation & Resettlement Package to the above PDFs.
basing on the Rehabilitation and Re-establishment (R&R Policy) Policy of
Government of Madhya Pradesh, and National Rehabilitation Policy of Government
of India and other additional benefits proposed in the earlier projects of Singrauli
District. The Package will be finalized based on the socio-economic survey being
conducted by the Administrator appointed by Govt. of MP in consultation with District
Administration.
The number of families displaced has been estimated based on the definition of
family by the State Government. The following table gives the details of families and
no. of persons to whom the R & R applicable as estimated from the primary survey

CHAPTER-4
METHOD OF WORK
4.1 MINE BOUNDARIES
4.1.1 Basic Criteria
Analysis of available geological information and surface features etc. shows

following surface constraints in designing and working of the deposit.
• Aamdand, Amraikoh, Belwar, Dongri, Jheleri, Majholipath and Seerswah

villages are falling in Quarry area.
• Hardul Nala westerly flowing in the north-western part and passes throughout
the block beyond south-western part of the block.
• Existence of Forest land over the block.
• Khanakhash to Dongri road passing over the block.
The exploitation of reserves depends on removal/diversion of the surface

constraints. The mine boundary has been designed based on these constraints, lay
and disposition of the coal seams, position of incrop and disposition of faults etc.
4.1.2 Mine Boundaries
Two mine boundary options viz. Option I and Option II have been studied.
Delineated mine limits along the mine floor as well as along the surface for the mine
boundary options I and II have been shown vide Plate No XI in the “Mine Boundary
option plan.”
Mine boundary options
Option – I
The mine boundaries of the project as per Option-I are as follows:-
Boundary Landmark
North side Quarry surface at 7.50m from block boundary
South side Quarry surface at 50m from forest boundary
West side Quarry Surface at 50m from block boundary
East side Quarry Surface at 7.50m from block boundary
The option will permit an exploitation of about 70.40 Mt of extractable reserves (by
removing 590.45 M.Cum of OB) at an average stripping ratio of about 8.39 Cum/T,
which are sufficient to sustain a mine life of about 14 years with the annual capacity
of 5.00 Mtpa.

Option –II (Selected option)
The mine boundaries of this option are as follows:-
Boundary Landmark
North side Quarry surface at 7.50m from block boundary
South side Quarry surface at 50m from forest boundary
West side Quarry Surface at 7.50m from block boundary
East side Quarry Surface at 7.50m from block boundary
The option will permit exploitation of about 71.81 Mt of extractable reserves (by
removing 604.03 M.Cum of OB) at an average stripping ratio of about 8.41 with the
annual capacity of 5.00 Mtpa.
After studying the above options, it has been decided to go with Option-II since it will
permit exploitation of large quantity of reserves resulting in conservation of valuable
fossil fuel. In this option, as advised by APMDC, the Quarry surface on the western
side is kept at 7.50m from Mine boundary. However, the formation of the Haul road
on the eastern side may be planned during actual operations.
4.1.3 Details of Opencast Area

The boundaries as discussed above will result in the following physical parameters
of the opencast –
a Maximum strike length along surface 3400 m

b Minimum strike length along surface 730 m
c Maximum width of the quarry along surface 3500 m
d Minimum width of the quarry along surface 2400 m
e Minimum depth of the quarry 40 m
f Maximum depth of the quarry 245 m
g Floor area of quarry 641.00 Ha
h Area of excavation on surface (Lease area) 807.86 Ha
i Total Land requirement 1080.99 Ha
j Average Gradient of the seam 1 in 11.5 to 1 in 24
4.2 COAL SEAMS
4.2.1 Details of Coal Seams
The detailed exploration in Suliyari-Belwar coal block has established the presence
of about 15 number of coal seams viz. Seam-R-II, R-I, Seam-VIII, Local-III, Seam-
VII(Top), VII-Middle, VII-Bottom, Local-II, Seam-VI, Local-I, Seam-V,IV,III,II & I in
descending order. Out of which Seam-VII(Middle), VII-Bottom & Local-II have again
splits into two sections each (upper & lower), while VII-Middle (Lower) is again splits
into sections Top & Bottom. Thus, main seams and splits seams/sections together
constitutes about 23 coal seams/sections in Suliyari-Belwar coal block.
Out of total 23 coal seams/sections, about 9 coal seams/sections are correlatable,

regionally persistent and have developed workable thickness viz. Seam-R-II, R-I,
Local-III, Seam-VII Top, Middle, Bottom, Local-II, Seam-VI and Seam-V.

Among these seams from R-II seam to VII Bottom seam are planned to be extracted
by opencast method and seams from Local-II to seam-V are deep seated and can be
mined by underground method at a later stage.
Seams from R-II to Seam VII Bottom, VIII seam is unworkable since the seam has
not attained workable thickness anywhere in area of its occurrence and is hence un-
economical (i.e. >0.5m).
The details of seams planned for opencast and their partings are given in the
following table:

The Geological reserves are calculated basing on Isochore plans of Geological

Report. The Geological reserves in proposed quarry area are 95.31 Mt. Thus, the
reserves locked up in the barrier and quarry batters are 15.52 Mt.
The mineable reserves are estimated by deducting the barrier and batter reserves
from geological reserves. The extractable reserves for opencasting are arrived at by
deducting 10% losses due to dilution and mining loss. The total extractable reserves
are estimated as 71.81 Mt and overburden is 604.03 M.Cu.m with an average
stripping ratio of 8.41 cum/t.

4.2.3 Quality of Coal
The total Block area is 12.98 Sq.Km where as opencastable area is 8.07 Sq.Km
(upto VII Bottom seam floor) with a borehole density of 9.85 boreholes / Sq.Km.
Basing on the ash and moisture percentages the average useful heat value and
Gross calorific value of seams are calculated. The quality data on 60% RH at 400 C
equilibrated bases is available for 93 boreholes and the following formulas are used
for deriving UHV and GCV from Ash % and Moisture % of the seams
UHV= 8900-138(Ash%+Moisture %) in Kcal/Kg

GCV= 85.56*(100-1.1*(Ash%+Moisture%)-60*Moisture% in Kcal/Kg

4.3 CHOICE OF MINING METHOD
Main Considerations
Several design constraints combine to restrict the choice of primary excavation
equipment & Coal winning technology. An evaluation regarding the applicability of
different systems reveals the following:
4.3.1 Continuous Mining Technology
Based on the available data on hardness of coal and OB, most of the strata will need
to be prepared by undertaking drilling and blasting before excavation. Continuous
mining technology has therefore been ruled out.
4.3.2 Dragline Application
Small partings and multiple seams preclude the application of dragline.

4.3.3 Crushing-Conveying System
High capital cost in low grade mines is against economic application of crushing and
conveying technology. This technology therefore, has not been considered
application under the prevalent geo-mining conditions.
4.3.4 Surface Miner Technology for Coal
Surface Miner is the most widely used technology in now-a-days, for selective mining
and effective quality control in opencast coal mines. This equipment is capable of
producing coal precisely and selectively. Winning of coal in these multiple thin seams
can be done more effectively with surface miners. This technology will produce sized
coal (<100 mm) as per coal washery requirement and thus eliminate the requirement
of primary crushing unit and its capital cost. Hence Surface Miner Technology is
considered for extraction of coal in this project.
2 No of SM 2200/3800 Surface Miners along with 5Nos of 4.6 Cum. Front end
Loaders are proposed for extraction of 5.0 Mt of coal production per annum.
Advantages of using this technology are as follows:
i. Selective mining of thin seams up to 20-30 cm thickness.

ii. Proper grade control system.
iii. Coal production in a plant feed size requirement.
iv. Elimination of primary crushing unit.
v. Environment friendly mining technology.
vi. Operator’s safety is well taken care off.
vii. Slope stability can be maintained.
viii. Less locking of coal in batters due to high final slope (700)
Surface Miners (SM) are capable of cutting the coal precisely and selectively. Due to
presence of a number of splits of coal seams, SM deployment will be useful but its
application has to be carefully considered keeping in view mine configuration and
movement of OB/Coal benches in the initial stages.
The equipment selection and operating methods have been designed considering
the volume and nature of overburden and disposition of coal seams. Surface Miners
(SM) are now being very successfully worked in several limestone quarries and coal
mines, specially for quality improvement in coal by the process of selective mining.
The longer strike length of about 3.0 km and gradient of flatter than 1 in 12 with a
compressive strength of seams is around 23 to 28 Mpa and most suitable for
Surface Miner Technology.
Coal extraction with Surface Miners is proposed in this opencast project. 2 No of SM

2200/3800 Surface Miners along with 5Nos of 4.6 Cum. Front end Loaders are
proposed for extraction of 5.0 Mt of coal production per annum.
The Surface Miner extracted -100 mm ROM coal at the coal face would be loaded by
Front End Loaders onto 35 T dumpers and transported to receiving hoppers in the
quarry. From there coal will be transported to GL bunkers of 6000 T capacity at CHP

through series of belt conveyors. Then coal will be dispatched through SILO of
4200T into Railway wagons.
4.3.5 Shovel-Dumper combination for OB
Shovel-dumper combination is the most widely used mining technology in opencast

coal mines due to the following reasons:
i. Flexibility in deployment of Shovels and Dumpers according to the coal

production and OB removal requirements.
ii. Facilitates optimum utilization of equipment through planned deployment.
iii. Permits uninterrupted operation of the mine inspite of capital overhaul/
breakdown of some Shovel or Dumpers.
iv. Grade control can be done effectively through selective mining.
Under the prevailing geo-mining conditions, with multiple seams, this is the most
suitable technology for OB removal in Suliyari Belwar opencast coal project (Phase-
I).
4.4 PRODUCTION CAPACITY & LIFE
The rated production capacity of the project is 5.00 Mtpa. The life of the project is 17
years including construction.
4.5 SEQUENCE OF MINING OPERATIONS
The mining sequences has been designed in such a way so as to permit mining the
coal reserves in a more effective manner and at the same time allow backfilling of
considerable quantity of overburden. This feature will considerably mitigate the
adverse environmental aspects generally associated with opencast mining.
Sequence of mining has been planned considering the lay & disposition of the
deposit.
The sequence of opening of the deposit has been designed considering:
Low stripping ratio zones at progressively increasing depths.
Availability of sufficient coal exposure to sustain a steady level of production.
To create sufficient void for accommodating the OB internally.
Based on the analysis of various Stages of mining, life of mine the development
strategy has been arrived at.
The proposed sequence of mining has been chosen based on the criteria of start-up
of mining operations at minimum depth, optimising running stripping ratio and at the
same time creating sufficient space as early possible for internal dumping since
there is no external dump area. The above sequence will ensure superior cash flows
in the initial stages of mining as well as superior back-filling of voids created during
the course of mining operations.

Any alternative sequence of mining will necessitate considerably greater land

requirement for external overburden dumps due to limited back-filling. Cost of mining
will also be higher in such case due to longer leads of O.B. transport.
Proposed sequence of mining and parameters of mining system will provide for coal
inventory levels between one to three months of coal production.
In order to create an early opportunity for backfilling of void to the maximum extent, it
is required to evacuate coal in the initial years as early as possible. This also
facilitates optimising operating stripping ratio and to maintain a sustained level of
coal production.
It is proposed to commence excavation operations, from year-1(i.e., 3rd year of

project) by removing 18.97 M.Cum of Overburden. Various stages of mine
operations like, stage plan at the end of 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, 4th year, 5th year,
10th year and at the end of the final operation i.e. Final stage Plan at the end of 15th
year of coal production, plan showing Ultimate Pit configuration and Mine closure
plan showing the Final void which are characteristic of mining operations have been
given vide drawing nos. XII-A, XII-B, XII-C, XII-D, XII-E, XII-F, XII-G, XII-H and XII-I
respectively.
4.6 OPENING OF DEPOSIT
Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project(Phase-I) is planned to work upto a maximum depth

of 245 m of VII bottom seam in non forest land in Phase-I stage. It is proposed to
open up the pit on the south side of the block where the VII bottom seam is 40m
depth and at distance of 50m from the forest boundary.
The present layout of initial opening ensures systematic development, provides

space for future internal dumps and also generates early revenues.
Before commencement of mining operations, the land will be cleared of trees /

shrubs immediately in advance of mining. The Hurdul nala which is flowing across
the block will be diverted to the dip side in northern direction. Finally this Hurdul nala
will be joined in Sarbahera nala.
The deposit is proposed to be opened along the strike and it is envisaged that local
ramps will be suitably laid for transportation of Coal and overburden. Opening along
strike direction will provide comparatively longer face length. It is envisaged to
extract the coal from roof to floor. Excavation from roof to floor is expected to result
in less contamination at the coal/ overburden interface. Thin seams demand more
attention to avoid dilution during mining.
Top OB benches on the high wall side are to be advanced thereby creating space for
deepening of the quarry. Plan showing the initial position of mine operations i.e.
stage plan at the end of 1st year of coal production is given in plate No XII-A.

4.7 MINING SCHEME
4.7.1 Excavation
In Suliyari Belwar OCP (Phase-I) the OB is removed by Shovel-Dumper combination

and Coal is extracted by Surface miner.
It is planned deploy 2 no’s surface miners of SM2200/3800 along with 5 Nos of Front
End Loaders and 10 Nos. of 35T dumpers to get the rated production of 5.0 Mt.
overburden will be excavated by deploying 9 No’s of 20 Cum Electric Hydraulic
shovels in combination with 61 No’s of 170T rear dumpers and 3 Nos of 3/3.2 Cum
Diesel Hydraulic backhoe shovels in combination with 38 Nos of 35T rear dumpers.
The thin OB layers of soft nature may also be tried with surface miners.
Bench slope has been designed to be at an angle of 70º to the horizontal. Working
benches are proposed to have a width of 40 m. 20 Cum Shovels shall be deployed in
the upper horizons for Top OB and thicker partings. 3.0/3.2 Cum shovels shall be
deployed in lower horizons for thinner partings.
It has been envisaged that wherever possible, coal and OB faces may be staggered
along the strike to avoid intermixing of material. Suitable numbers of dozers have
been provided to minimise the mixing of OB materials so that the dilution is kept at a
minimum possible extent. The quarry has been so planned considering geo-mining
parameters like strike length, gradient of seam etc.
Ramps at 1 in 16 gradients for evacuation of coal and OB from different working

horizons will be required to be prepared while working the quarry.
There are 12 workable coal seams/sections in the proposed area i.e Seam R-II,
Seam R-I, Seam VIII, Seam Local-III, Seam VII Top, Seam VII Middle(Upper),Seam
VII Middle Lower (Top),Seam VII Middle Lower(Bot.),Seam VII Middle Lower, Seam
VII Middle (Merged), Seam VII Bottom (Upper),Seam VII Bottom(Lower),Seam VII
Bottom. The parting thickness is varying from 1.25 m to 48.43 m.
OB and Coal removal/ extraction

It is proposed to outsource for overburden removal and coal extraction of the project.
Scope of work:
The scope of work for OB removal as per offloading order is as follows:
• Blast hole drilling
• Controlled blasting with shock tube initiation
• Excavation
• Loading, transportation and dumping, etc. of overburden
Preparation of roads, ramps, dozing, leveling, garland drains and other EMP works
are in the scope of the contract. Explosives & accessories and diesel would be
supplied by APMDC.
scope of work by SCCL. Average lead, during the 15 years of coal operation period,
works out to 4.1 Km. Diesel rate per liter is Rs 45.74.

Based on the year-wise lead and lift estimated for the Suliyari Belwar OC
Project(Phase-I), the average cost of OB removal is assessed at Rs 83.18 per Cum
(including service tax & educational cess at 12.36%).
Particulars Rs/Cum Rs per Tonne

Total 83.96 708.74
Thus, the cost of OB removal works out to Rs 708.74 per tonne of coal produced at
The scope of work for Coal extraction with surface miner as per offloading order is as
follows:
• Cutting of coal by surface miner
• Loading of coal with FEL
• Transportation and unloading of coal into hopper/coal stack yard
Preparation of road, ramps, dozing & leveling works are in the scope of the contract.
The cost of Coal extraction with Surface miner is estimated based on a recent
contract awarded with similar scope of work by SCCL. Average lead, during the 15
years of coal operation period, works out to 4.0 Km. Diesel rate per liter is Rs 45.74.
Based on the year-wise lead and lift estimated for the Project, the average cost is
assessed at Rs 95.61 per tonne of coal produced (including service tax &
educational cess at 12.36%).
Coal Production
For coal production 2 Nos of Surface Miners SM 2200 /3800 are proposed for the
output of 5.0 Mtpa. 5 No of 4.6 Cu.m front end loaders and 21 Nos. of 35T dumpers
are also proposed for handling the coal production of 5.0 Mtpa.
Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-I) is suitable for Surface Miner because of
the larger the strike length with an average gradient of 1 in 12 to 24.
• The rotating cutting drum (in the middle) underneath the machine cuts coal seam
into slices of 15 cm to 30 cm.
• The cutting depth depends upon the machine type and kind of material. During
cutting the machine constantly travels in the forward direction.

• Machine also cuts while taking a turning. However, this is possible only when
large radius of curve is available. In the proposed area maximum radius of curve
is feasible.
• It is not possible to cut the coal in places where the radius of curve is small.
When operating in narrow mining areas it is more economical to mine the turning
areas by means of auxiliary equipment. For this suitable equipment like dozer
etc., have been provided.
• Surface Miner will cut coal surface in parallel cuts. Strata with compressive
strength varying from 5 MPa to 40 MPa is ideally suited for operation of Surface
Miner. The Compressive Strength of workable Seams varies from 23.12 MPa to
28.34 MPa.
• The cut material can either be wind-rowed behind the machine or directly loaded
into trucks.
• The cutting depth can be adjusted exactly, so that dirt bands can be removed to
improve quality. Ramp, turning areas and further preparatory works will be
carried out by auxiliary equipment.
• OB benches will be progressed along strike as the mine advances in the dip
direction.
• The maximum height of the coal bench is 10 m and the width is 60 m. The width
of coal bench is convenient for operation of Surface Miner for cutting as well as
loading to trucks.
Further, 1 no 410 HP ripper dozer is provided for ripping of thin seams where cutting
with surface miner is not feasible near the faults. 1 no 5 Cum Front end Loader is
provided for excavation of ripped coal and also used for lifting of coal heaps in the
coal yard and CHP.
Water sprinklers are provided for dust suppression. 1 no 0.9 Cum. Hydraulic
Backhoe is provided for formation of drains etc., Motor Graders are provided for
grading purposes.
It has been envisaged that wherever possible, Coal and OB faces may be staggered
along the strike to avoid intermixing of material. Adequate numbers of dozers have
been provided to minimize the mixing of OB materials so that the dilution is kept at a
minimum possible extent. The quarry has been planned by considering the geo-
mining parameters like strike length, gradient of seam etc. and surface constraints.
Mining System parameters
The main design parameters for the mining system for the Shovel-Dumper
combination are summarised in the table:
Mining System Parameters

Particulars Unit Main OB Coal
Bench height m 10 Seam
thickness

Working bench width m 40 40

Bench Slope Deg 70 70
4.7.2 Stability
The benches are planned considering the nature of strata and geo-mining conditions
to ensure the slope stability of individual benches as well as over all slopes.
The main design parameters for Highwall benches are summarised in the table:
Ultimate High wall Parameters

Particulars Bench Platform Slope
height (m) (m) (degrees)
Top soil bench 5 5 45
Hard OB benches 10 3 70
Transport platforms of 30m wide are provided along the highwall batters at every
30m interval. The overall slope varies between 32° to 37°.
4.7.2.1 Slope Stability Investigations
Slope stability is a vital aspect in opencast project, as final high walls will have a
height of up to 245m which need to be planned as steep as possible due to
economical reasons but on the other hand stable enough for safety reasons.
Therefore detailed investigations and calculations are indispensable. A detailed
study on the Slope stability has to be made before commencing mining operations.
Fund provision of Rs 2.00 Crores (Annexure No.PR 2.8) is provided to conduct

scientific studies for ascertaining the stability of the dump, pit slopes, other studies
like impact of blasting and control of ground vibrations due to it etc.
4.8 METHOD OF WORK

Seam Local-II(Top), Seam Local-II(Bot.), Seam Local-II, Seam VI, Seam Local-I,
Seam-V, Seam-IV, Seam-III, Seam-II and Seam-I.
The Geo-mining characteristics of Upper seams i.e. From Seam-R2 to Seam VII
Bottom are coupled with their considerable thickness and the potentiality of thin
seams makes them ideally suited for exploitation by opencast method. It has,
therefore, been envisaged to mine the entire property by opencast method up to VII
Bottom seam. Opencast method will also lead to high rate of recovery. The opencast
mining system adopted in Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-I) is combination
of Surface miner and Shovel–Dumper combination.

The Seam VIII is unworkable since it has not attained workable thickness (i.e.0.5m)
and impersistant in the block area.
The lower seams i.e. From Seam Local-II (Top) to Seam-I are deep seated and are
planned to be mined by underground method at a later stage.
In this method, the Shovel will be deployed on a horizontal plane and their
movement will be along a particular horizon (the usual gradient of the quarry is 1 in
12 to 24). The mining area will be divided into number of horizons.
In OB horizons, the drill will be deployed on a level platform and drilling will be done
upto the coal seam. After blasting, the OB is excavated by a backhoe, thus exposing
the coal seam. After sufficient length of coal seam is exposed, surface miner is
deployed for cutting the coal seam in to slices of 15cm to 30cm. The cut coal is
heaped by dozers/FELs and is loaded in to 35 T dumpers.
In all these operations, the shovel and the dumper will be deployed on a horizontal
plane only. Dozer will be used for leveling the blasted material.
The coal will be transported largely through advancing benches and the mine floor
upto the main haul road and also through the side batters. Coal through this haul
road will be transported upto the Coal receiving hopper. From there coal will be
transported to the CHP through series of belt conveyors.
Extraction of Thin seams
The usual thickness of thin seams/sections assessed is varying from 0.52m to

1.09m. Special care will be taken while extraction of these thin coal seams. The drill
hole will be terminated immediately above the coal seam. After exposing the coal
seam, it will be cut by surface miner in to slices of 15cm to 30cm.
Wherever deployment of surface miner is not feasible particularly near fault areas,
coal will be ripped by a Ripper Dozers and will be heaped. This heaped coal will be
transported to CHP
Precautions while working near a fault
Faults are areas of disturbance which pose a threat to safety. Special care needs to
be taken while approaching a fault. The heave zone of the fault often consists of
unconsolidated strata which tend to collapse/slide resulting in slope/bench failure.
If a fault forms the boundary of the quarry floor, the high wall benches should be
formed cutting across the fault plane i.e., excavating the entire heave zone in the
process. The fault planes exposed on the floor of the quarry needs to be benched
though it amounts to stripping additional quantities of OB.
As far as possible, benches should not be formed parallel to and abutting against a
fault plane since they are likely to fail/slide. Thus, the safer method could be to align
the benches perpendicular/oblique to the fault plane while approaching a fault.

Wherever, benches are aligned parallel to fault plane, the excavation of benches
should be form top downward.
4.9 HAUL ROAD PLANNING
The main access trench or haul road is envisaged to be constructed on the floor of
VII bottom seam. The average gradient of the bottom most seam proposed for
opencast mining i.e. VII Bottom seam is 1 in 12 to 24. Sufficient strike length in the
quarry does permit a haul road on quarry floor. The steepest grade has been
proposed not to exceed 6% at any point on the haul road. Local ramps, for inter-
bench movements, have been planned on 6% grade and a width of 30m. The haul
road has been planned to be developed progressively as the quarry deepens.
The haul road width of 30 m has been designed considering space for dozer track,
pipes, electric lines, cables, provision for berms and two way traffic for dumper
movement. Adequate lighting arrangements have to be made for smooth mining
operations at night. Further, to improve visibility, numbers of bends are kept at the
minimum.
The high-wall side quarry batters along the haul road in the quarry are proposed to
be such that the overall slope, including the haul road, fulfils the overall slope
stability as well as transport requirement criteria.
The main design parameters are as follows:
Main haul road width : 30m

Main haul road inclination : 6%
Short ramps width : 20m
Short ramps inclination : 6%
One mode of access planned for approaching the quarry workings is the Main haul
road through the south east corner of the property. The main access trench or haul
road is envisaged to be constructed on the floor of VII Bottom seam. Transport
platforms of 30m wide are provided along the highwall batters at every 30m vertical
interval. Most of the coal is transported through the Main haul road and OB is
transported through the inter-bench ramps and Transport platforms provided along
the highwall batters.
4.10 QUARRY OPERATION SCHEDULE

The following design criteria have been adopted for mining operations.
a). No of annual working days: 330
b). No. of daily shifts
i) Overburden 3
ii) Coal 3
c). Duration of shift hours 8
It is proposed to work the mine with the following shift timings:
I st shift : 5 AM to 1.30 PM (With half an hour rest interval).

II nd shift : 1 PM to 9.30 PM (With half an hour rest interval).
III rd shift : 9 PM to 5.30 AM (With half an hour rest interval).

The above shift timings facilitate the employees to take lunch and dinner in between
the shifts, which will improve the utilization of working hours effectively and HEMM
utilization.

4.12 SURFACE CONSTRAINTS FOR MINE DEVELOPMENT
i. Seven villages namely Aamdand, Amraikoh, Belwar, Dongri, Jheleri,

Majholipath and Seerswah are falling in Project area. It is proposed to provide
Rehabilitation and Resettlement package for the above villages at a cost of Rs
136.45 Crores. The numbers of Project Displaced Families (PDFs) in these
villages are 1341.
ii. A Hurdul nala flows across the central part of the property from Northeastern to
south western side has to be diverted.
iii. A 765 KV HT Line passing across the property has to be diverted.
iv. There is no area for external dumping as area surrounding the block is coal
bearing area.
4.13 MINING SCHEDULE
The year-wise coal production, overburden removal along with average stripping
ratio in Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project(Phase-I) is given in Table No.- 4.1. The
production schedule is presented in Chart - 4.2. The stage-wise schedule of
excavation of coal, overburden and dumping of overburden including top soil is given
in Table No.- 4.3. Year wise and Seam wise mineable coal reserves is given in Table
No.-4.4.
The calendar programme of mining operations has been formulated based upon the
adopted sequence of mine development and optimum condition of mining operation
for the entire life of opencast mine.
The rated capacity of 5.0 Mtpa for a reserves base of 71.81 Mt. of coal is proposed
to be achieved during the 4 th year.
The OB removal in the 3rd year will be 18.97 M.Cum. The maximum OB removal will
be 47.37 M.Cum in the 8th year of production.
4.14 DUMPING STRATEGY
The quarrying of Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-I) produces 71.81 Mt of

overburden and coal is estimated at 650.13 M.Cum. The total OB excavated is to be
adjusted within the quarry as no land is identified for the external dump.

The area of excavation of Suliyari Belwar Opencast (Phase-I) is 807.86 Ha. The life
of the project is 17 years including construction period with a production capacity of
5.00 Mtpa.
4.14.1 Safety Measures
Recommendations of safety measures to improve the stability of dumps are as

follows:
a) Alluvium material should be dumped separately to prevent mixing with

hard rock waste material.
b) After mining of coal, a layer of crushed rock, left out crushed coal and water may
lie on the de-coaled quarry floor- this heterogeneous mixture is termed here as
interface material. This interface material covering the steeply inclined quarry floor
will be one of the major causes of any internal dump failure. Before backfilling, this
interface material will be cleaned with a dozer.
c) Garland drains should be provided around the external dumps to divert the flow of
water.
4.14.2 Design Criteria
The following design criteria have been considered for waste dumps.
i) Separate spoil dumps for Top soil and other OB.
ii) Maximum height of Top soil dump will be 10 meters.
iii) Main OB is to be dumped in 30 m high decks.
iv) 30 m berm width for allowing safe transport of HEMM.
v) Dump slope for each deck to be at 37.5 0 and overall slope at 22.730.
vi) Track Dozers will be deployed for shaping the dumps.
vii) Maximum height of Internal dump yard is 120m above ground level.
4.14.3 Location of Dump Yards
It is proposed to accommodate the overburden in the following dump yards:
(1) Internal dump yard.

(2) Temporary dump yard where from OB is to be rehandled.
(3) Temporary storage of Top soil.
4.14.4 Hard Overburden
The total hard OB produced in the project is 599.98 M.Cum. The Hard OB is
accommodated in internal dump yard. Initial five years of mining operations, part of
the hard OB produced will be dumped in temporary external dump yard and
remaining OB dumped in internal dump yard. From 6th year of mining operations, the
OB dumped in temporary dump yard will be rehandled and accommodated in internal
dump yard.
4.14.4.1 Temporary External dump yard within the Block.

Temporary External dump yard is located on the North side of Suliyari belwar coal
block. It occupies an area of 68.11 Ha of non-forest land. The total hard OB that is
estimated to be accommodated in this dump yard is 28.33 M.Cum. The dump yard is
planned to a maximum height of 90 m above Ground Level. OB will be dumped in
this dump yard from 1st to 5th years and thereafter from 6th to 10th year, OB from this
dump yard will be rehandled and dumped in internal dump yard. Because there is no
area for external dumping as surrounding area of quarry is coal bearing area.
4.14.4.1.2 Internal dump yard
The internal dump yard is designed on west side of the haul road leaving a safety
clearance of 200m. Internal dumping in the voids of Suliyari belwar Opencast Project
(Phase-I) will commence from 3rd year and will continue till the end of the project life.
It is proposed to dump 599.98 M.Cum of hard overburden in an extent of 551.87Ha.
The maximum height of this dump yard is 120m above ground level.
4.14.5 Top soil
A total of 4.06 M.Cum of Top soil will be produced during the project life. Adequate
care has been taken to preserve the Top soil in temporary storage dump yards and
spread over the dumps in the later stage in a systematic manner.
It is planned to dump top soil on the dip side, in the North- Eastern part of the project
on a coal bearing area, in an extent of 25.37Ha where temporary external dump is
planned. It is proposed to store 2.04 M.Cum of top soil. The height of the top soil
dump is restricted to 10m above ground level. The area where the top soil is stored
will be required for excavation after 12th year of the project. This top soil will be re-
handled as the quarry progresses.
The top soil produced from 1st to 5th year is 2.04M.Cum. This top soil will be stored in
the temporary Top soil dump.
The top soil produced between 6th to 10th year is 1.51 M.Cum. This top soil will be
spread on the internal dump. Further, 2.04 M.Cum top soil will be rehandled from
Top soil dump and spread on the internal dump.
The total Top soil produced from 11th to 15th year is 0.50 M.Cum and this quantity will
be spread on internal dump.
The details of Top soil production and spreading on the internal dumps, storage and
re-handling from the Temporary storage area in different stages is indicated below:

4.15 DRILLING & BLASTING
The blast parameters have been established after actual field trials considering the
local geo-mining conditions.
Whenever the mine boundary approaches the danger zone of 300m from
conducted by scientific agency for relaxation of danger zone, i.e. to work within 300
m.
Drilling and blasting operations are proposed to be carried out in a way that they
facilitate the separation in OB removal process. These operations may be suitably
modified to ensure separation in mining of OB and to suit local site conditions.
However, based on experience on coal measure rocks of similar characteristics, it is
proposed that spacing, burden and depth for


Ground vibration produced by blasting depends on various factors namely,
a) Geology of the strata.

b) Maximum charge per delay.
c) Distance of blast point to observation station,
Site-specific constants vary from site to site.
However, as per DGMS Technical circular no.7, dated 29.8.97, depending on the
type of structures and the dominant excitation frequency, the peak particle velocity
(PPV) on the ground adjacent to structures should not exceed the values given
below.

4.15.1 Explosive Consumption & Magazine capacity

The following specific consumption of explosives has been adopted for estimating
the annual requirement of explosives:
• OB benches - 0.32 Kg/Cum

The above specific consumption of explosives for OB has been considered for the
project report preparation and is based on the consumption pattern in existing mines.
These figures may be suitably modified to ensure desired fragmentation during
actual blasting operation and to suit the local site conditions.
Based on powder factor and calendar programme of excavation, the maximum
requirement of explosive will be 45-46 Tonnes/day including that required for OB
removal and secondary blasting.

PUMPING AND DRAINAGE
5.1 DRAINAGE SYSTEM
5.1.1 Drainage System of the Area

northern and southern part of the block are occupied by hillocks of the elevation upto
500 m above MSL. In general the elevation of ground varies from 441.07 m as
western and northern parts of the block respectively.
The block shows dendritic to sub-dendritic drainage pattern. The drainage of the
block is mainly controlled by westerly flowing Hardul Nala which traverses the block,
in the north-western part and passes throughout the block beyond south-western
part of the block. Many small seasonal nalas drained into Hardul Nala.
The Hurdul nala which is flowing across the block will have to be diverted and joined
in to the Sarbahara nala in northern direction. Hurdul nala diversion route and design
along with the cost estimates is outsourced to state irrigation department. The works
will be taken up as per the report submitted.
5.1.2 Garland Drains
In the Project Report of Suliyari belwar opencast project, Garland drains are
provided all along the Quarry surface area to prevent surface/dump yard rainwater
into quarry. A 0.90 Cum Diesel Hydraulic Backhoe is provided for formation of
drains.
The drains will be connected to natural drainage system of the area. Within the
quarry itself, sumps of adequate capacity will be provided and adequate pumping
capacity will be provided at sumps. Proper arrangements will be made for cleaning of
mine water and rain water before connecting to normal drainage system.
5.1.3 Preparation of Sump
A sump of adequate capacity shall be prepared and maintained from where the
accumulated water can be pumped out. For preparation of sump, the floor of the
bottom most coal seam has to be blasted for 6 - 8m depth and the blasted OB has to
be excavated to form like a pit. Peripheral nalas along the benches shall be made to
guide the seepage/rainy water to the sump.
Pumps are to be installed at suitable location at the sump, free from overhangs.
Proper approach road shall be maintained to the pumping station. The sump &
pumps are to be shifted to lower levels as the quarry deepens. The sump is to be
cleaned at regular intervals to keep free from accumulation of slush/mud particularly
before monsoon. In rainy season, lot of slush will be carried by the rain water to the
sump which is to be checked & collected at the baffles provided enroute.
Job No 0120 5 .1 The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd.

5.2 PUMPING SYSTEM
The pumping system of Suliyari Belwar opencast project has been designed to
handle the make of water due to precipitation falling within the active pit limits during
the monsoon season, to enable the mining activity to continue round the year.
The rain water inflow to the opencast mine is non-uniform during the year. The
maximum rain water will be during the period of about five months (June to October)
in a year. Nearly 85% of the annual rainfall is received during the SW monsoon. The
average annual rain fall of the area is 1400mm. Annual rainfall during the span of 13
years (1998 - 2011) is given in the 3.6 of Chapter 3. The mean rainfall for the above
period is 945 mm.
To design the pumping capacity, generally, the maximum daily rainfall is considered
for calculation of make of water. In the absence of daily rain fall data, nearby coal
block maximum daily rainfall has been considered as 135 mm for design purpose.
During dry season, say November to May, seepage from strata is expected to be
moderate and the same can be dealt by running few number of pumps provided for
monsoon pumping. During this period repair & overhauling of the pumps will be
made in rotation. The quantity of water inflow during a day of peak rainfall in
monsoon will be handled by the main pumps.
It is planned to utilize the low capacity, low head pumps in the initial years of
working. With the increase in area and depth of mine high capacity, high head
pumps are proposed.
The planning of mine de-watering has been done in such a way that the working
faces and haul roads will remain dry as far as possible. The layouts of the pits
provide suitable gradient along the quarry floor and the benches to facilitate self-
drainage of water to the lowest level of the quarry.
5.3 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The pumping requirement has been calculated on the basis of the following general
considerations:
The geographical location of the opencast working
Meteorological data from the area concerning rainfall
Life of the mine & percentage probability of maximum rain fall in one day
during the life of the mine.
Surface features of the area surrounding the opencast working.
Catchment area, mined-out area, area beyond excavation, and internal dump
area.
Run-off characteristics of the area.
Depth of the quarry.
In-flow of ground water into the quarry.
Desired location at the surface where the pit water can be discharged.
Surface drainage system & garland drains.
Effective working hours- 18 hours/day for pumping calculations, but for
monsoon period pumping will be done round the clock.

5.4 BASIC DATA
The following data has been taken into consideration for arriving at the size of the
pumps.
1 Maximum Rainfall considered in a day 135 mm

2 Life of the mine 17 years
3 Depth of mine (Max.) 245 m

6.6 ENERGY CONSERVATION
The following important points for proper utilization of energy have been considered
while selecting the machinery for various purposes of the project.
6.6.1 Power Factor Improvement

The improvement of the power factor of the system will reduce the losses of energy
and maximum demand of the project. Hence suitable capacity capacitor banks have

been provided on the secondary side of the power transformers for improvement of
the power factor above 0.90.
6.6.2 Energy Meters

Energy meters will be fitted separately to the main feeders. This will help in
measuring the power consumption by various groups of machinery and to bring
about awareness and take necessary steps for proper improvement of the system.
6.6.3 Selection of High Voltage Equipment & Transmission
Power will be transmitted from the Sub-station to the high voltage machinery and
distribution transformers through short and convenient routes. Transmission of
power and operation of machinery at high voltage will reduce the loss of energy.
6.6.4 Selection & Adjustments of Transformer Loads
Transformer cores made of steel of high silicon content and of thin laminations will
be used for minimizing the constant losses i.e., core or iron losses since the
transformers will always be working irrespective of the amount of load connected to it
i.e., on varying load and no load conditions.
6.6.5 L.T. Motors

The L.T. Motors will operate at 550V/415 V. The L.T Power supply to these motors
will be fed from unitized transformers.
6.6.6 Illumination
The lighting at the quarry will be arranged with suitable energy efficient Sodium
Vapour lamps. For street lighting in the colony etc Fluorescent tube lights/ M.V.lamps
/Sodium Vapour lamps will be used.
6.6.7 Efficiency
Care will be taken to select only the high efficiency equipment and machinery to
effect saving in energy consumption.
6.6.8 General
The Philosophy of conserving power will be inculcated in people by suitable
circulars, posters etc., so as to be prompt in switching off lights, fans, air coolers, air
conditioners etc in cabins, offices and other departments whenever not needed.

7.2 Conveyors
The main conveyor belt of SILO envisaged in the Project Report is of 1400mm width.
This belt is sufficient to convey coal to SILO. This conveyor will be laid in an inclined
position, generally at an inclination of 1 in 5. This conveyor will be laid in an enclosed
and elevated structure called gantry so as to avoid falling/spillage of coal onto the
ground. This gantry has to be cleaned at regular intervals to avoid accumulation of
coal/coal dust.
7.3 Illumination at Coal Handling Plant
Adequate lighting arrangement has to be made for illuminating the CHP area since it
is planned to operate the mine in three shifts. Proper code of practice has to be
framed and followed for safe working of men and machinery. Suitable guards are to
be provided at moving machinery like drive heads, belt conveyors etc. The lighting at
the Coal Handling Plant will be arranged with suitable energy efficient Sodium
Vapour lamps.
The ROM coal from the quarry will be transported to the surface upto 6000T GL
bunker by conveyors. Later the coal will be conveyed to the SILO Surge bunker by
belt conveyors.
7.4 SILO Loading System
SILO loading system will facilitate to meet the demand for high accuracy, and Rapid
loading of coal into the trucks. Basing on the Railway wagon capacity, the weigh
Bunkers will be designed and before the coal is loaded into the wagons, it will be
weighed automatically.
7.5 Water spraying arrangements for dust suppression
The objective of this system is to eliminate the air borne coal dust or suppress the
dust at its source. The system involves confinement of the dust within the dust

producing area by a curtain of moisture and wetting the coal dust by direct contact
between the particles and droplet of water.
During the process of conveying coal into the receiving 6000T GL bunker, there will
be huge generation of coal dust which spreads into the atmosphere making the
surrounding atmosphere dangerous to the persons working nearby.
To arrest the propagation of dust while unloading the coal into the receiving bunker,
and similarly to arrest the generation of dust while conveying, water jets are to be
provided. Provision of adequate funds is made towards dust suppression in the
Project Report.
7.6 Capital Investment
Fund provision is also made in the Project Report to install 4200T SILO. A total fund
provision of Rs. 5803.92 Lakhs is made for coal dispatch arrangements at Surface
CHP.
The schematic layout of CHP is shown in plate No. XVIII.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENT
9.0 INTRODUCTION
Suliari Belwari Opencast Project (Phase-I) of M/s APMDC, is formulated with an

ultimate capacity of 5.00 Mtpa. Total mineable reserves are estimated at 71.81 Mt.
and total Overburden (OB) to be removed is 604.03 Million Cum. Average Stripping
Ratio works out to 8.41 Cum of OB per Tonne of coal to be extracted. Life of the
mine is 17 years. The project is envisaged to attain rated capacity of 5.00 Mt by 4th
year after sanction.
The Project is envisaged with Shovel Dumper for OB and Surface miner technology
for Coal. It is envisaged to outsource overburden removal as well as Coal extraction
throughout the life of the project. All other activities shall be owned and operated by
the block owner i.e., M/s APMDC during the life of the project.
9.1 PROJECT CAPITAL
The head-wise capital requirement of the project is estimated considering the

information submitted by M/s APMDC, tenders awarded by SCCL in the recent past
for similar works/ equipment and other information obtained from different sources.
Capital required on civil related activities is estimated based on Building Cost Index
of SCCL.
Total capital outlay of the project is estimated at Rs 678.20 Crores (July 2012 price
level). This includes the capital required beyond the year of the project attaining
rated capacity i.e., 4th year. This is required mainly to meet the pumping, electrical,
etc., after 5th year.
Most of the critical project activities are envisaged to be completed by 4th year and
the project attains sustained built-up capacity from 4th year onwards. Hence, the
project is envisaged to be brought to revenue from the beginning of 4th year since the
project attains sustained built-up capacity.
All revenue nature expenses incurred during construction period upto 3rd year are
capitalized net of sales proceeds and are shown as Revenue Expenditure
Capitalized (REC). Further, Interest on term loans payable during this period is also
capitalized and the same is shown as Interest During Construction (IDC).
Accordingly, the capital requirement of the project for the purpose of approval,
capital outlay required upto 4th year, REC and IDC, is estimated at Rs 693.32 Crores.
Since the project is not yielding a minimum level of IRR at the prevailing coal prices
of CIL, desired selling price is worked out so that the project yields 12% Financial
IRR at 85% performance level. Accordingly, Revenue Expenditure Capitalized (REC)
is estimated considering this threshold coal price. Thus, the capital requirement of
the project for the purpose of approval, including capital outlay required upto 4th year,
REC and IDC, is estimated at Rs 646.88 Crores.

The average annual coal production from the proposed project will be 5.0 Million
Tonnes (MT) with peak production of 6.00 MT in 5th year of coal production. It is
proposed to extract coal reserves of 71.81 MT of G9/D grade from the proposed
Suliyari Belwar OC project (Phase-I) over a period of 17 years including two years
construction period. Mining operations will be carried out in 807.86 Ha. The total land
required for the proposed project is 1080.99 Ha, There is no forest land required for
the project. There are no ecologically sensitive areas, historical or protected
monuments in the study region.
Background
There is a need to enhance India’s power generation from the present level of
148,000 MW to 380,000 MW by the year 2030 to achieve an economic growth rate
of 8% to 9%. The major share of growth in power generation is through thermal i.e.,
coal based. This means country’s coal requirement will have to be enhanced to 1300
MT by the year 2030.
The total requirement of coal for the existing and ongoing projects of APGENCO is in
the order of 32.03 MT per annum against the linkage of 27.05 MT per annum. The
estimated supplies from MCL and SCCL including additional quantity from SCCL is
of the order of 25.05 Mt per annum leaving a shortfall of 6.98 MT per annum.
In view of gap in demand and supply of coal to the Andhra Pradesh Power
Generation Corporation Limited (APGENCO) power plants in the region, Ministry of
Coal vide Lr. No. 13016/8/2007-CA-I, dated 25.07.2007 has allocated the proposed
Suliyari-Belwar Coal Block located in the southern part of the Singrauli Coalfield
Main Basin (Copy of allotment letter by MoC is enclosed as Annexure) to APMDC.
The present proposal is a new opencast mine to extract the available 71.81 MT of
extractable coal reserves by mechanized opencast method with a rated production
capacity of 5.00 MTPA in the Project area of 1008.77 Ha.
The project is categorized as “A” under the provisions of S.O. 1533, dated 14th
September 2006 and subsequent amendments vide SO 3067 dated 1st December
2009.
Hence, obtaining environmental clearance from Ministry of Environment and Forest
(MoEF) before operating the mine is pre-requisite under Environmental Protection
Act.

11.2.3 Water Quality

The impact of the proposed project on the water environment was assessed by
studying the quality of groundwater and surface water bodies in the study area. The
sampling locations were selected considering their proximity to the project site. A
total of 10 water samples i.e., 5 samples from surface water and 5 samples from
groundwater were collected and analyzed for various physic-chemical and
bacteriological parameters. The groundwater quality results are compared with IS:
10500 and surface water quality with IS 2296, 1982 and CPCB Water Quality
Criteria, Class- A (Drinking Water Source without conventional treatment but after
Disinfection), Class – B (outdoor bathing (organized)). The analytical results of
surface water and ground water samples are given in Tables 11.2.3.1 and 11.2.3.2
respectively.

Surface Water Quality

The surface water samples analysis results are compared with IS:2296-
1982,Tolerance limits. The analytical results of all the surface water samples along
with Tolerance limits for various parameters as per IS 2296-1982 standards are
shown in the Table 8.3. As the standard (IS2296-1982) has been withdrawn by IS,
the surface water quality is also compared with CPCB water quality criteria, Class-A
(Drinking water source without conventional treatment but after Disinfection) and

Class-B (outdoor bathing (organized)). Though IS 2296-1982 has been withdrawn,
the analysed data has been compared with this standard, to have better
understanding about the nature of surface water bodies in the study area, as CPCB
water quality criteria, prescribes only few parameters.
pH values were in the range between 6.5 and 7.4 in the surface water samples
collected within the study area and found to be well within the range of 6.5 to 8.5.The
calcium and magnesium concentrations were well within the permissible limits. TDS
concentrations were well within the tolerance limit of 1500 mg/L.
Turbidity, total alkalinity, nitrates, fluorides, chlorides, sulfates, and total hardness
concentrations at all the sampling locations observed to be within tolerance limits.
The concentration of arsenic (As), boron (B), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), mercury
(Hg), lead (Pb) and chromium (Cr) were found to be below their detection limits at
all the sampling locations. The concentrations of Iron (Fe) and Zinc (Zn) were well
within the tolerance limits.
In accordance with CPCB water quality criteria, parameters studied were pH, DO,
BOD and total coli forms. It may be observed that all the surface water samples have
DO values were found to be between 5.8 mg/L to 6.3 mg/L and BOD is below its
detection limit (BDL). In all the samples total coli forms and fecal coli forms were
present. The sample collected at the locations SW-1 fall under the category Class-A
(Drinking water source without conventional treatment but after Disinfection), as for
this sample total coli forms is observed to be below 50 MPN/100 mL, whereas other
four samples fall under the category Class-B (outdoor bathing (organized) as for
these samples total coli forms is observed to be below 500 MPN/100 mL. The
presence of coli forms indicates that the contamination might be due to the runoff
water with bacteria in soil or sewage. Fecal coli forms might be due to animal
droppings or human fecal contamination.
From the analytical results it can be observed that the surface water samples
collected from all the locations require suitable treatment (chlorination) to make them
potable.
Groundwater Quality
The groundwater samples analysis results were compared with IS:10500 desirable
and permissible limits, which are stipulated for water to be fit for drinking purpose
with ground water as source. The results along with the desirable limits of various
parameters as per the IS: 10500 standards are shown in the Table 8.4.
pH values were in the range between 6.5 and 7.2 in the groundwater samples
collected within the study area and found to be well within the range of 6.5 to 8.5.
The turbidity values were well within the desirable limits. The total alkalinity values
were well within the desirable limits of 200 mg/L. The TDS values were within the
desirable limits of 500 mg/L, The total hardness value in the sample were well within
the desirable limit of 300 mg/L. The chlorides concentrations were within the
desirable limits of 250 mg/L. The calcium concentration at all locations below the
desirable limits of 75 mg/L., Magnesium, Sulfates and Fluoride levels in the samples
were observed to be well within the desirable limits. The Nitrates concentration in
all the ground samples observed to be well within the desirable limit of 45 mg/L. The
concentrations of Phenolic compounds, mercury, cyanide, anionic detergents and
mineral oil were found to be below their detectable limits.

The concentration of arsenic (As), boron (B), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), mercury
(Hg), lead (Pb) chromium (Cr) and hexavalent chromium were found to be below
their detectable limits at all the sampling locations. The concentrations of iron (Fe)
and zinc (Zn) were well within desirable limits.
Fecal Coli forms and E.Coli were found to be less than 1.8 MPN/100 mL in all
groundwater samples collected in the study area. From the analytical results it can
be observed that that the groundwater from the collected locations is potable.

11.2.4 Noise levels in the project area
Ambient noise level monitoring was carried out at 6 locations in the study area of the
project to assess the present noise levels. The summary of noise level data is
presented in Table No.11.2.4.1. The noise levels in terms of Leq (Day) and Leq
(Night) at all villages are slightly above the stipulated limits which may be due to
vehicular movement and other local activities.
Table 11.2.5.1 Summery of Noise level data generated during summer 2012

From the data generated it is seen that the noise levels in terms of Leq (day) and Leq (night)
are well within the standards stipulated at all the locations.
11.3. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES

In order to maintain ecological balance and to reduce the impacts due to the
proposed Suliyari Belwar, an attempt has been made to integrate environmental
protection measures with the process of mine development.
Site Preparation
The environmental impacts during the clearing or cleaning will be temporary,
localised and negligible. Water spraying at appropriate locations will be provided
during construction of civil structures, for dust suppression, thus reducing the
impacts.
11.3.1. Air Environment

Mining activities will generate fugitive dust during drilling, blasting, loading and
transportation operations. The impact on air quality will however be confined more or
less to the project area.
Study of base line status of air quality in and around the project site indicates that the
pollution levels are well within the limits prescribed for industrial and residential
category. However, the concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 may marginally increase,
after commencement of mining operations in the proposed project, in comparison to
the background levels. It is anticipated that with the implementation of effective
control measures in the proposed project, there will not be any significant impact with
respect to these parameters.
Fugitive Dust Control

While complete elimination of dust due to mining operations may not be possible, the
following measures will be taken to mitigate the fugitive dust from different
operations:

To avoid the dust generation from the drilling operations, wet-drilling will be
adopted.
Use of appropriate explosives for blasting and avoiding overcharging of blast
holes.
The volume of dust rising from dumps by the action of wind will be controlled
significantly by planting grasses on slopes and plants on dumps soon after their
formation.
Haul roads will be major source of dust in the opencast mines. To overcome the
problems of dust generation from mine haul roads, the following steps would be
taken.
• Black topping of permanent roads like routes to coal handling plant,
permanent internal roads etc.,
• Water spraying on haul roads and permanent transport routes at required
frequencies. Provision has been made for procurement of five water
sprinklers for this purpose.
• Avenue plantation along roads.
Taking up plantation around the quarry and OB dumps in three rows, which will
serve as a barrier to prevent the dispersion of dust.
Effective dust suppression measures will be taken up at pit head coal handling
plant (CHP). The crusher house will be enclosed to the extent possible and dust
suppression arrangement will be provided at suitable locations in the CHP. All
conveyors, screens, crusher etc. will be provided with covers to avoid fugitive
dust during operation. Some of the measures proposed to be adopted at CHP
in order to control dust emission include:
• Height of fall to be minimized at all coal transfer points.
• Internal lining of chutes and bins will be done to take care of abrasion &
dust
• Continuous water spraying arrangements will be made for dust
suppression
The exhaust emissions from HEMM containing CO, SO2 & NOx will be
controlled by strictly adhering to the scheduled maintenance that includes
periodical tuning of engines.
11.3.2. Water Environment

Mining activities may cause adverse impacts due to pumping of mine water, siltation
due to storm water, contaminated water from workshops and domestic wastewater.
An impact due to soil erosion during monsoon periods is also significant in nature.
Water requirement and wastewater generation

The impacts on surface water quality are due to mine seepage and wastewater from
other mining activities. The estimated average mine discharge water pumped out of
the project will be about 4800 KL/day. The mine discharge water will be stored in
settling ponds for removal of suspended solids. A part of the treated water to an

extent of 3096 KL/day will be used for various requirements of the project like dust
suppression (2940 KL/day), washing of HEMM (65 KL/day), plantation (11 KL/day)
and for drinking and other domestic purposes (80 KL/day). The excess mine water
will be discharged into the nearby natural drains after conventional treatment.
Water pollution prevention measures

Some of the control measures proposed for controlling water pollution in the
proposed OCP are as follows:
1. Creation of water storage areas in the quarry for settlement of suspended solids
before pumping water out of the mine.
2. Provision of effluent treatment plant with oil and grease traps in HEMM workshop
for removal of TSS and Oil and Grease from vehicle wash effluent and its
subsequent recycling. Treated water will be used for dust suppression and for
raising plantation within the workshop premises.
3. Similarly, water running through dumps is expected to get mixed with loose
overburden and associated material. Garland drains, check dams and
sedimentation tanks will be constructed around the OB dump and the lease area
to reduce soil erosion and arrest suspended solids before discharging the run-off
water into the natural water regime as well as to prevent storm water from
entering the lease area. Besides, the dump slopes shall be formed with suitable
inclination (overall slope 25.64 degrees) so that the water falling over the dump
will gravitate down without causing soil erosion. Regular cleaning of drains will be
done for de-silting the same. Reclaimed / Back filled area will be properly graded
and kept slightly sloping against mine workings so that water does not flow into
the mine workings.
4. One Sewage Treatment Plant is proposed for treating domestic wastewater
generated from colony. Establishing septic tanks followed by soak pits for treating
domestic wastewater generated from the mine office.
5. The mine discharge, after passing through sedimentation tanks for removal of
suspended solids will be used for dust suppression, greenbelt development, etc.
and excess water will be let out into nearby streams.
6. To avoid the flow of surface water towards and into the quarry, suitable
precautionary measure like diverting seasonal nallahs will be taken.
11.3.3. Noise Environment

The following are the major noise generating sources from the proposed activity.
Heavy Earth Moving Machinery

Blasting operation and
Plying of vehicles including transportation of coal.
Noise levels in mine premises will be kept within the occupational noise exposure
limit as prescribed by DGMS. The following strategy is adopted for controlling
undesirable noise:
Prevention at source

Isolation of source
Administrative control
Some general precautions that are proposed to be taken for noise reduction which
includes:
Creation of green belts of dense foliage in three rows between mine areas
and residential colonies which will act as noise attenuator.
Proper maintenance of machinery (including transport vehicles) including fine
tuning of engines to reduce noise.
Protective devices like acoustic wool, earplugs and earmuffs will be provided
to the workers working in HEMM where noise levels are above 90 dB (A).
Controlled blasting techniques using milli-second delay detonators & relays
will be adopted in this project for minimizing noise and blast vibrations.
Sound and dust proof cabins will be provided in the machines like dozers,
shovels, dumpers and feeder breakers at CHP etc.
With the above noise abatement measures, it is expected that the noise levels will be
maintained in compliance to the prescribed limits.
11.3.4. Blasting Vibrations & Control Measures
Blasting in mining areas may give rise to ground vibrations which may cause
damage to nearby structures. Fly rock is another problem that deserves attention.
DGMS circular No.7 dated. 29.8.1997 stipulates permissible standards for blast
induced ground vibrations. Based on the ground vibration studies made earlier
proper care will be taken during blasting operations.
The following precautions will be taken up for controlling ground vibrations at the
site.
Controlled blasting technique will be adopted in this project for reducing
blast vibrations substantially. The experience gained in other OC mines
would be gainfully utilised to keep the peak particle velocity much less than
10 mm/sec.
Further, charge per delay shall be regulated to minimise blast vibrations.
Optimum delay sequence and stem to column ratio will be maintained to
minimise the fly rock distance and ground vibration intensity.
Basing on the distance of the nearest sensitive areas from the epicenter of
the blast, charge weight will be altered to meet the stipulated standards.
Design of optimum blast hole geometry considering bench height, diameter
of hole, type of explosive, nature of rock, level of fragmentation required etc.
Divide total charge / blast in several parts so as to keep minimum explosive
per delay i.e. use of milli-second delay detonators & relays.
Avoid concentration of explosive by using deck charging.

Fly Rock
There are a large number of factors that influence fly rocks. Most important of these
factors are long explosive columns with little stemming at the mouth of the hole,
irregular shape of face, long water column in holes, loose stones on face of the
surface blasting area, and strong wind. However, certain preventive measures will be
taken to minimise the risks arising from flying fragments. These are:
Marking of danger zone: The area falling within 500 m of the blasting area
will be marked off as danger zone with red flags, or other appropriate signs,
and entry of any unauthorized person into this zone will be prohibited during
blasting operation.
Warning signals: An audible warning signal will be given, fifteen minutes

before actual firing of blast to enable persons to move out of danger zone.
For this purpose, a set of sirens / hooters will be provided at appropriate
places.
Providing blasting shelters: In order to protect the personnel engaged in

blasting operations, blasting shelters will be provided in close proximity to
the site of blasting for taking shelter during blasting.
Air Blast
The release of explosive energy through air and movement of fragmented rocks are
the primary causes for noise and air over pressure during blasting. Adoption of
following measures while carrying out blasting operation will help in reducing the
intensity of air blasts and will also minimise the noise level associated with the air
blasts. The measures suggested are:
Avoiding overcharging of blast holes

Adequate stemming
Maintaining proper inter-hole & inter-row delays.
11.3.5. Land Management

As the opencast mining will alter the land use pattern in the lease area, reclamation
will be done with the following objectives.
To minimise the adverse affects.

To bring the excavated land area to its pre-mining status as far as
practicable.
To improve the landscape in general.
The following measures are proposed to be undertaken in the proposed project to

minimize land degradation.
Plantation on the over burden dumps.

Plantation along the boundary of the lease area so as to minimise the visual
impact.
Top soil excavated from the site will be dumped separately at predetermined
place for spreading subsequently on external dumps and backfilled areas for
plantation.
Back filling of the mine pits concurrently with the mining operations (land
reclamation).
11.4. Solid Waste Management

The proposed Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-I) is planned for a rated coal
production capacity of 5.0 MTPA with a peak production of 6.00 MTPA. Solid waste
mainly consists of overburden material obtained during mining operations at different
stages and a negligible quantity of shale / rejects separated from the excavated coal.
During the process of coal extraction overlying strata consisting of topsoil and
sedimentary rock formation will be removed separately as overburden.
It is proposed to remove total 604.03 Million Cum. of overburden material during

entire life of the project which consists of 599.98 Million Cum of hard OB and 4.05
Million Cum. of top soil. The peak annual overburden removal is estimated to be
about 47.37 M.Cum per annum from 8th to 16th year of coal production.
The details of Hard OB and the Top soil spreading in internal dump yard are as
indicated below:

Only 100% of overburden produced during the project life is deposited in the internal
left.
11.4.1. Stage Wise Land Reclamation

Stage-wise reclamation programme has been formulated for the proposed Suliyari
Belwar OCP. The stage-wise reclamation programme including greenbelt

11.4.2. End Land Use Plan

The land required for the project will be initially put in use for quarry, OB dumping, pit
head infrastructure, approach roads, etc. but the same will be reclaimed to economic
/ social use.
The details of land in Post Mining scenario will be as follows:

All areas affected by mining activities (building sites, tailings ponds, sedimentation
tanks, OB dump etc.) will be re vegetated to control erosion and restore the site’s
natural condition. It is proposed to re-vegetate 521.95 Ha. at the end of mining
operations.
Native species with economic value will be planted on the reclaimed area after
topsoil carpeting, which also helps in controlling soil erosion caused by rain and
wind. Extensive plantation will be taken up over the back filled area, along the haul
roads, approach roads and along the quarry boundary.
Prior to the commissioning of the project, the area is drained by seasonal nallahs,
which will be diverted in a systematic manner so that the regional hydrology is not
disturbed.
The quarry area will be surrounded by garland drains with intermediate settling
provision so that only clear water is discharged into the natural water body. The mine
seepage water will be pumped out & discharged into settling tanks where the coal
fines will be settled and only clear water will be discharged into the water body. The
area where the mine dewatering ponds are established will be restored and leveled
and the site re vegetated, so as to establish the natural drainage of the area.
The void left over in an area of 195.29 M.Cum will be used for dumping of over
burden generated from Suliyari Belwar opencast Phase- II Project.
11.5. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

As per the data collected during base line survey, about 1341 families are
considered as project affected people [PAFs]. Sons and brothers who have 18 years
were considered as PAPs in light of existing R&R policy of M.P Govt. The mining
activities in the coal block requires evacuation of PAFs from the coal-block and it is
proposed to develop R&R Colony at Khanuwa Naya Tola as has been suggested by
most of the villagers for their resettlement. About 122 hectares of land is
requisitioned for R&R Colony.
Definitely the mining activity will provide good employment opportunities to the PAPs
and up lift their economic status & improve their standard of living.
No significant changes have been visualized in the traditional way of life and
occupation of the local people in coal mining areas. The local people are rather
benefited due to the provision of more infrastructure facilities provided by the
management.
The proposed mining activity at Suliyari Belwar can have beneficial impact on socio-
economic front due to establishment of coal based and other ancillary industries.
During construction phase, work force requirements will be met from the local area
there by providing employment opportunities to the locals. Total indirect employment
potential due to the handling operations and ancillary units, suppliers, contractors are
expected to provide job opportunities to several people in the region.
The occupational pattern of the people will also change for the better and support
services will create further employment and growth opportunities.

Seven villages situated over/near the quarry area. About 1341 families are to be
rehabilitated. The total cost of R&R Package is estimated at Rs 203.50 crores
including package against employment.
11.6. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
The Environmental Management Committee (EMC) will look after all the environment
related activities in the Area. Further, an EMC would be constituted at the project
level which will be responsible for regular environmental quality monitoring, proper
running of effluent treatment plant and liaison with regulatory bodies like APPCB and
CPCB. The Committee will be headed by Project Officer / Manager and will be
assisted by supporting staff and workmen.
Functions of EMC:
To monitor implementation of the approved EMP.
To monitor compliance of environmental regulations.
Continual improvement in environmental performance.
To follow proper documentation and monitoring procedures, for developing better
environmental management systems at the mine.
To ensure systematic and routine housekeeping to reduce generation of
pollutants inside the mine.
To develop and maintain green belt in and around the mine.
To keep up with regulatory requirements and arrange for the necessary
certificates or consents viz., the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act and
the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act.
To conduct yearly environmental monitoring and submit the statement to
MPPCB.

CHAPTER-12
MINE CLOSURE PLAN
12.1 INTRODUCTION
The Mine closure plan will have two components viz. i) Progressive or concurrent
Mine Closure Plan and ii) Final Mine Closure Plan. Progressive Mine Closure Plan
would include land reclamation, various activities to be done continuously and
sequentially during the entire period of the mining operations, whereas the Final
Mine Closure activities would start towards the end of mine life and may continue
even after the reserves are exhausted and / or mining is discontinued till the mining
area is restored to an acceptable level to create a self sustained ecosystem.
Mine closure planning needs to be carried out before the commencement of mine
operations and requires periodic reviewing and modification, if needed, during its life
cycle to ensure safety and to cope up with social & environmental challenges.
Various objectives of the mine closure planning are as follows:
a. To allow sustainable and productive after-use of the site which is acceptable

to the mine owner and the regulatory authorities.
b. To eliminate environmental damage and thereby encourage environmental

sustainability
c. To protect the flora and fauna of the area.
d. To protect public health and safety.
e. To minimize adverse socio-economic impacts.
Various agencies affected due to mine closure need to be identified and they can be
as follows:
The Company : Management, Employees and Agencies.
The Community : All stake holders such as, Local business and service
providers, landholders, Neighbors and nearby residents,
local Government, NGOs and community groups.
The State : The State Government, the Central Government and

Government agencies.
There is need for regular consultations between the agencies to evolve the role of
the agencies and their involvement in the process.
i) Name of the lessee: The lessee is a Public Sector Company(APMDC) with full
participation of Govt. of Andhra pradesh. The Suliyari Belwar Coal Block was
allotted to the company for their captive use.

REQUIREMENT
Total land required for this project is 1080.99 Ha. Out of the above, 567.88 Ha of
land is Private Land, 513.11Ha land is Government land and Forest land is zero.
12.3 Method of Mining & Coal Processing
The Geo-mining characteristics of all the seams coupled with their considerable
thickness and the potentiality of thin seams makes them ideally suited for
exploitation of the coal block by opencast method. It has, therefore, been envisaged
to mine the entire property by opencast method. Opencast method will also lead to
high rate of recovery.
Since coal (ROM) is directly used as solid fuel by industries, no beneficiation is

proposed
12.4. Reasons for Closure

The mine will be closed after exhaustion of economically recoverable coal in the
leasehold area. The mine may be closed on account of other unforeseen reasons
i.e., Force majeure or government directions etc for which information and notice
shall be sent to concerned Government authorities and departments.
The proposed mine could be closed due to any one or many or all of the following
reasons-

• Exhaustion of the deposit
• Policies of Government
• Force majeure conditions
• Directives of statutory organization or Court etc.,
12.5 Statutory obligations

Environmental clearance is yet to be obtained from MoEF. The statutory obligations
as specified by MoC/MoEF/DGMS etc. will be complied with.
12.6 Closure Plan preparation
Closure planning is a life-time-of-mine exercise that begins with the commencement
of mining operations and continues till post closure. The dynamic nature of closure
planning requires regular and critical review to reflect changing circumstances as a
result of any operational change, new regulation or new technology and remain
flexible enough to cope with unexpected events.
12.7 Mine Description

12.7.1 Physiography & Drainage of the block (Core zone)

northern and southern part of the block are occupied by hillocks of the elevation up
to 500 m above MSL. In general the elevation of ground varies from 441.07 m as
part of the block. Many small seasonal Nalas drained into Hardul Nala. Topo plan
showing the topography of the block, surrounding areas, drainage and other surface
features are enclosed.
12.8 Geology
The Singrauli coalfield is the northern-most part of the Son-Mahanadi Master Basin,
stretching over an area of 2200 Sq.km. The Suliyari-Belwar Coal block located in the
Main basin of Singrauli Coalfield.The Suliyari-Belwar Coal block spread over a total
Tehsil Headquarter.



Seam-V, Seam-IV, Seam-III,Seam-II and Seam-I. A Chapter explaining the details of
Stratigraphic Succession of Suliyari Belwar Coal Block, coal seams, structure of the
deposit and other geological details are enclosed as Chapter-2.
12.8.1 Reserves
The Geological, Mineable and Extractable Reserves of Suliyari Belwar Opencast
Project (Phase-I) considered for extraction are given in 4.2 of chapter-4.
12.9 Production Capacity and Life of the Mine
The proposed Suliyari Belwar Opencast project (Phase-I) is designed with an

installed capacity of 5.00 MTPA. The total extractable coal reserves are 71.81 Mt
and OB to be removed 604.03 M.Cum with an average stripping ratio of 8.41 Cum/T.
The life of the project is 17 years (including construction period).
12.10 Mining Method

The Geo-mining characteristics of all the seams coupled with their considerable
thickness and the potentiality of thin seams makes them ideally suited for
exploitation by opencast method. It has, therefore, been envisaged to mine tire by
opencast method. Opencast method will also lead to high rate of recovery.
Under the prevailing geo-mining conditions, with multiple seams, it is proposed to

mine the property using Shovel-Dumper combination – which is considered most
suitable.
The method of work comprises of:

Removal of top soil and intermediate hard rock.
Removal of OB to expose the coal seam
Excavation of coal
The sequence of mining operations and the method of mining are described in
Chapters-4.
Equipment Schedule
The main HEMM projected is given in 4.11 of chapter-4

Production Programme
The proposed production schedule is given in 4.13 of chapter-4
Coal Handling and Transportation
Coal handling and transportation has been properly addressed in Chapter-7.
12.11 Coal Beneficiation
Since coal (ROM) is directly used as solid fuel by industries, no beneficiation is

proposed.
12.15 Closure Plan
12.15.1 Mined out Land
As the opencast mining will alter the land use pattern in the lease area, reclamation
will be done with the following objectives.
• To minimize the adverse affects.

• To bring the excavated land area to its pre-mining status as far as practicable.
• To improve the landscape in general.
Rehabilitation process in mined-out land shall focus on the following:–
• Restoring the land to its pre-mining land use or to a use, that is consistent
with the surrounding land fabric.
• Maintaining the long-term stability of affected land to match with the
community and commercial needs the development such as parklands, flora
& Fauna sanctuaries, pisciculture ponds and playgrounds with ecological,
tourist and commercial values will be planned.
The following measures are proposed to be undertaken in the proposed project to

minimize land degradation.
• The surface areas affected by mining activities shall be re-vegetated

preferably with native species and with necessary soil treatment. A nursery
shall also be developed. The area upon closure can be utilized for commercial
forestry/fodder cultivation.
• Plantation on the over burden dumps.
• Plantation along the boundary of the lease area so as to minimise the visual
impact.
• Top soil excavated from the site will be dumped separately and preserved at
predetermined place for spreading subsequently on backfilled areas for
plantation.

• Back filling of the mine pits concurrently with the mining operations (land
reclamation).

Species Selection
The selection of species will be evaluated through the detailed flora and fauna study
as a part of baseline studies in EIA/EMP preparation. The plant species that are
native to the area and to achieve self sustained ecosystem will be preferred in the
plantation programme. Some of the plant species proposed for plantation which are
native to the area are listed below:

Post Plantation Care
Investment on reclamation would be futile without adequate and timely aftercare.
After care includes weeding, soil working, mulching, fertilizing, and if possible,
irrigation to promote better growth of the planted seedlings. The vegetated area
should be protected from grazing and browsing of animals until the plants are above
the level of damage. Wherever necessary, fencing should be erected on the
boundaries of reclaimed areas.
12.15.3 Final closure (Final Void )
The depth of the void at the final stage of mining operations i.e. by the end of 17th
year (including construction period) is varying from 40m to 245m. The volume of the
void is 195.29 M.Cum. It is proposed to reduce the depth of the void in Suliyari
Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-I) by back filling the OB produced from Suliyari
Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-II).
The detailed mine de-commissioning plan will be made 5 years before the actual
closure.
Post mining Land Use Status of the Project
As a result of phase-wise mining operations of Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project

(Phase-I) in Phase-I stage, a total void of 195.29 M.Cum is left at mine closure stage
in Phase-I.
This void will be reclaimed by back filling the OB produced from Suliyari Belwar
Opencast Project (Phase-II) in phase-II stage. The void left over in excavated area of
Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-II) can be utilized as potential water body.

12.16 Water Quality

The impact of the proposed project on the water environment was assessed by
studying the quality of groundwater and surface water bodies in the study area. The
sampling locations were selected considering their proximity to the project site. A
total of 10 water samples i.e., 5 samples from surface water and 5 samples from
groundwater were collected and analyzed for various physic-chemical and
bacteriological parameters.

The groundwater quality results are compared with IS: 10500 and surface water
quality with IS 2296, 1982 and CPCB Water Quality Criteria, Class- A (Drinking
Water Source without conventional treatment but after Disinfection), Class – B
(outdoor bathing (organized)). Almost all the parameters of water samples are well
with in the prescribed limits. The pH value ranges between 6.40 and 7.4. Hence, the
ground water can be used for both domestic and industrial purposes.
12.16.1 Water Quality Management
Sources of Water Pollution
i) Effluents from mines, coal handling plants, service buildings and
workshop/maintenance sheds containing greases, oil and suspended particle.
ii) Effluents from residential colony.
iii) Storm water causes soil erosion.
iv) High turbidity, grease and oil film on water may not allow proper oxygenation
of water. This may affect the aquatic life.
v) Deep pit lakes result into density stratification (Meromictic conditions) and
induce water quality degradation.

vi) On cessation of dewatering, GW levels recovers to create ‘Pit Lake’ within the
mine void, thereby initiating geo-chemical and hydro-geological processes
with time. Pit lakes are hydraulically connected with GW systems
12.16.2 Monitoring
During the mining operations water quality monitoring will be carried through a
network of surface and ground water monitoring stations in consultation with state
pollution control board as per the provisions of GSR 742(E) dated 25.9.2000.
The water quality monitoring will be continued during closure operations and 3 years
after the closure at requisite locations and the quality will be conformed to the
standards prescribed in GSR 742(E) dated 25.9.2000.
Mining activities may cause adverse impacts due to pumping of mine water, siltation
due to storm water, contaminated water from workshops and domestic wastewater.
An impact due to soil erosion during monsoon periods is also significant in nature.
12.16.3 Water requirement and wastewater generation
The impacts on surface water quality are due to mine seepage and wastewater from
other mining activities. The estimated average mine discharge water pumped out of
the project will be about 4800 KL/day. The mine discharge water will be stored in
settling ponds for removal of suspended solids. A part of the treated water to an
extent of 3096 KL/day will be used for various requirements of the project like dust
suppression (2940 KL/day), washing of HEMM (65 KL/day), plantation (11 KL/day)
and for drinking and other domestic purposes (80 KL/day). The excess mine water
will be discharged into the nearby natural drains after conventional treatment.
12.16.4 Water pollution prevention measures
Some of the control measures proposed for controlling water pollution in the
proposed OCP are as follows:
To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil / grease and sewage
waste, the proposed measures as given below:\
• Leak proof containers will be used for storage and transportation of oil /
grease.
• All the steps will be taken at the store to avoid oil spillages.
• Oil / grease will be handled on impervious area. Any wash off from the oil /
grease handling area or workshop will be drained through impervious
drains, collected in specially constructed pits and treated appropriately
before releasing it into natural drains.
• The sewage waste generated will be drained by underground impervious
drains, lead to appropriately designed septic tanks and soak pits to
prevent any pollution of surface or ground water.
The surface and ground water in and around the project, loading plant and
infrastructure will be regularly tested and appropriate control measures will be
adopted in case of any pollutant is detected above the prescribed limits

All stacking / loading areas will be provided with proper garland drains equipped
with baffles to prevent wash offs from reaching the downstream natural drains.
Measures proposed against storm water

• Water running through dumps is expected to get mixed with loose
overburden and associated material. Garland drains, check dams and
sedimentation tanks will be constructed around the OB dump and the
lease area to reduce soil erosion and arrest suspended solids before
discharging the run-off water into the natural water regime as well as to
prevent storm water from entering the lease area.
• In addition to the above, the dump slopes shall be formed with suitable
inclination, so that the water falling over the dump will gravitate down
without causing soil erosion. Regular cleaning of drains will be done for
de-silting the same. Reclaimed / Back filled area will be properly graded
and kept slightly sloping against mine workings so that water does not flow
into the mine workings.
• Creation of water storage areas in the quarry for settlement of suspended
solids before pumping water out of the mine.
• The mine discharge, after passing through sedimentation tanks for
removal of suspended solids will be used for dust suppression, greenbelt
development, etc. and excess water will be let out into nearby streams.
12.17 Details of diversion of nallahs in the proposed block
Hurdul nala is flowing west ward in the north-western part and passes throughout the
block beyond south-western part of the block. It is planned to be diverted towards
dipside in northern direction from east side of the block. The block shows dendritic to
sub-dendritic drainage pattern. Many small seasonal nalas drained into Hardul Nala.
The diversion of hurdul nala is 7.2 Km and finally it will join in to sarbahera nala
which is flowing dipside of the block.
12.19 Acid Mine Drainage
Acid mine drainage (AMD), or acid rock drainage (ARD), refers to the outflow of
acidic water from (usually abandoned/ working) metal mines or coal mines. Acid
Mine drainage occurs naturally within some environments as part of the rock
weathering process but is exacerbated by large-scale earth disturbances
characteristic of mining and other large construction activities, usually within rocks
containing an abundance of sulfide minerals.
The Suliyari Belwar Coal Block is free from acid mine drainage since the ground
water results shows negligible percentage of acidic nature mineral in the lease hold
area.
12.20 Air Quality Management
The ambient air quality was monitored at 10 locations in core and buffer zone of the
proposed project. The parameters monitored are Particulate Matter (PM10),

Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and
Carbon Monoxide (CO).
The pollutant concentrations are compared with the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards as notified by CPCB and GSR 742 (E) applicable to coal mines. The
ambient air quality levels are well within the MoEF / CPCB standards for all the
monitored parameters. The summary of air quality data monitored at 10 sampling
locations during Summer 2012 is furnished here under.

12.21 Waste Management
12.21.1 Hard overburden
The type of rejects from opencast mine is mainly overburden. During the process of
extraction of coal, the overlying strata consist of top soil and sedimentary rock
formation shall be removed separately as overburden.
The quarrying of Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-I) produces 71.81 Mt of

overburden and coal are estimated at 650.13 M.Cum. The area of excavation of
Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-I) is 807.86 Ha. The life of the project is 17
years with a production capacity of 5.00 Mtpa.
It is proposed to remove total 604.03 M.Cum of overburden material during entire life
of the Suliyari Belwar Opencast Project (Phase-I), which consists of 599.97 Million
Cum of hard OB and 4.06M.Cum of topsoil.
The total overburden produced upto the end of project life is deposited in the internal
dump yards only as there is no external dump yard.
Waste management is described in detail in Chapter-4.

12.21.2 Top soil Management
Adequate care has been taken to preserve the Top soil in temporary dump yards
(during the initial period of Quarry operation) and spread over the dumps in the later
part.
It shall be suitably protected from soil erosion and infertility by planting fodder grass
and leguminous plants during temporary storage.
A detailed account of Topsoil Management is given in Chapter-4.
12.22 Management of Coal Rejects from Washery
Since there is no processing and beneficiation of coal envisaged in the project

report, hence it is not applicable.
12.23 Infrastructure
The infrastructure proposed in Mining Plan shall be maintained upto the end of the
life of the mine. Proper maintenance of infrastructure shall be carried out for their
physical stability.
1. All buildings and other concrete structures shall be razed down and the waste
shall be dumped in low lying areas or in decoaled areas of quarry and top soil
shall be spread over for re-vegetation.
2. Support & Transport infrastructures
All buried infrastructure like tanks, pipes, cables, shall be removed. If the
same are required to be maintained for future use the same shall be
documented. The main mining site and secondary access roads shall be kept
in a condition to access for monitoring/ inspection. The roads, bridges,
culverts etc., which are not required to maintain shall be razed and restored
for planting with local vegetation.
3. Sanitary installation

12.25 Safety & Security
A fencing shall be erected around the Project area to ensure that access to the area
is totally sealed off. Trained security personnel has to be posted to gaurd the area as
per requirement. Only authorised personnel will be allowed to carry out
abandonment and post-project monitoring activities.

12.26 Economic repercussions of closure of mine & manpower retrenchments
The Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation Ltd., was incorporated on

24th Feb., 1961 and registered under the Companies Act, 1956 with an authorised
capital of Rs.50 lakhs with full participation by Government of Andhra Pradesh. The
Authorised capital is increased, from time to time, to Rs. 10 Crores. The paid up
capital is Rs. 630.62 Lakhs.
The Objectives of the Corporation are:
• Development of mineral resources including exploration, exploitation, and

beneficiation.
• Development of mineral industry with private participation.
• Identification of the Best Technology and Investment for development of

Mineral Resources.
The branch offices of the Corporation at present are situated at Mangampet,

Dwarakatirumala, Piduguralla, Khammam, Visakhapatnam and Cheemakurthi
headed by General Manager at Mangampet and Project Officers at rest of places.
The registered and head office is at Hyderabad under the control of Vice-chairman
and Managing Director.
APMDC is operating metal mines in AP like Low grade iron ore, barites, granites and
limestone mines etc.
The Corporation is strengthening day by day while exploring the valuable bounty of
hidden mineral wealth to meet the growing needs of the A.P Industry by un-flinched
commitment of the VC & MD supported by the dedicated services rendered by the
employees of the Corporation.
Further another coal block called Nuagan Telisahi coal block in Orissa has been
jointly allotted to M/s APMDC Ltd and Orissa Mining Corporation (OMC) by the
Ministry of Coal for their captive use. Thus, equipment and statutory supervisory staff
shall be transferred to the mine with option of voluntary retirement scheme.
12.27 Time Schedule of Abandonment
After the extraction of total reserves, the mine will be closed. The time schedule for
abandonment operations and the details of Manpower and other resources required
for mine closure will be furnished along with detailed Mine closure plan to be
submitted five years before closure of the mine.
12.28 Abandonment Cost

Mine closure cost needs to estimated based on the activities such as barbed wire
fencing all around the working area, dismantling of structures/demolishing and
cleaning of sites, Rehabilitation of mining machinery, plantation, physical/ biological
reclamation, landscaping, biological reclamation of left out OB dump, filling up of de-
coaled void, post-environment monitoring for three years, supervision charges for

three years, power cost, protective and rehabilitation measures including their
maintenance and monitoring, miscellaneous charges etc.
Environmental clearance is yet to be obtained from MoEF. Lease is to be obtained

from the state government for the quarry area of 807.86.68Ha.
Thus, the statutory obligations likely to be imposed by MoC/MoEF etc. are not yet
known.
Therefore Mine closure cost is estimated as per the guidelines issued by Ministry of
Coal which are as follows:
• It has been considered that typically closure cost is around Rs 6.00
Lakhs per Ha. of the property lease hold for an opencast mine and Rs
1.00 lakh per Ha. for underground mine leasehold. The typical closure
cost may be modified based on the wholesale Price Index as notified by
Government of India.
• Annual Closure cost is to be estimated based on the life of the mine. An

amount equal to the annual cost is to be deposited each year after
commencement of any activity on the land for the mine compounded @
5% annually.
The total Mine closure cost estimated as above for the total area of the project is Rs
82.26 Crores. The details are shown below.

CHAPTER-14
SAFETY & CONSERVATION
14.1 SAFETY
The project proposes extraction of virgin coal seams by opencast method of working.
Compared to underground methods of coal extraction, opencast method is free from
the roof control and ventilation problems. Further, the number of persons and the
associated danger to life and property is minimum with opencast mining technology.
Problems connected with dust, gasses, inundation will also be largely reduced.
Dealing with these problems in opencast mining will be much easier than
underground methods of mining.
However, following precautions will be taken to ensure further safety.
14.1.1 Slope Stability
Slope stability is a vital aspect in this project, as final highwalls will have a height of
upto 245 m which need to be planned as steep as possible due to economical
reasons but on the other hand stable enough for safety reasons.
Collapse of sides is likely to pose problems in opencast mines. Proper benching and
sloping will be ensured. Bench slope has been designed to be at an angle of 70
degrees to the horizontal. Working benches are proposed to have a width of 40 m.
The overall pit slope varies from 320 to 370. This has been done to ensure safe pit
slope for the prevalent strata conditions.
The following design criteria have been considered for waste dumps.
Dumper/Truck dumps:
i) Main OB to be dumped in 30 m high decks.

ii) 30 m berm width for allowing safe transport.
iii) Dump slope for each deck to be at 37 ½ 0 and overall slope at 220 44’.
iv) Track Dozers will be deployed for shaping the dumps.
v) Maximum height of Internal dump yard is 120m above ground level.
Topsoil Dumps (Temporary Storage area):
i) Top soil to be dumped in 10m high decks.

ii) Maximum height of Top soil dump will be 10 meters
Slope stability is a vital aspect in opencast project, as final high walls will have a
height of up to 245m which need to be planned as steep as possible due to
economical reasons but on the other hand stable enough for safety reasons.
Therefore detailed investigations and calculations are indispensable. A detailed
study on the Slope stability has to be made before commencing mining operations.

The conclusions and the recommendations of DGMS (Tech.) (S&T) Circular No.2,
Dated 06-07-2010are as follows:
i. Design mine and the pit as well as dump slope scientifically taking into
consideration of geotechnical parameters of rock and the dumps including
hydro geologic and weather conditions to ensure stable Pit and Dump
slope profile not only during mining but also thereafter; and
ii. Deploy Slope Stability Radar (SSR) with integrated visual imaging system
or any similar such technology giving a real time monitoring of
displacements of strata or dumps well in advance of any failure and
providing mine management sufficient time to safely withdraw men and
machinery from such prone areas. Such systems would not only increase
safety but also the productivity and efficiency of opencast operations.
14.1.2 Haul Road Maintenance
The main design parameters are as follows:
Main haul road width : 30m

Main haul road inclination : 6.25% (I in16)
Two modes of access are planned for approaching the quarry workings. One access
is along the different inter-bench ramps of working benches and another is through
main access road.
Though, the average gradient of the bottom most seam (VII Bottom) is 1 in 12 to 24
sufficient strike lengths in the quarry does permit a haul road on quarry floor. The
steepest grade of the Main haul road has been proposed not to exceed 6.25% at any
point on the haul road. Local ramps, for inter-bench movements, have also been
planned on 6.25% grade. The haul road has been planned to be developed
progressively as the quarry deepens.
The haul road width of 30 m has been designed considering space for dozer track,
pipes, electric lines, cables, provision for berms and two way traffic for dumper
movement. Adequate lighting arrangements have to be made for smooth mining
operations during dark hours. Further, to improve visibility, number of bends is kept
at the minimum.
The high-wall side quarry batters along the haul road in the quarry are proposed to
be such that the overall slope, including the haul road, fulfils the overall slope
stability as well as transport requirement criteria.
14.1.3 Drilling & Blasting Operations
Opencast operations involve heavy blasting in overburden. Proper precautions by

posting guards, siren etc. will be taken at the time of blasting. Men and machinery
will be withdrawn to safer place before blasting. Blasting will be done in between

shifts. Proper care in storage, transport and handling of explosives will be taken to
ensure safety in blasting operations.
Whenever the mine boundary approaches the danger zone of 300 m from
conducted by a scientific agency for relaxation of danger zone, i.e. to blast within 300
m. Blasting with pre-splitting will be done at quarry surface boundary to control the
vibrations. By a proper choice of blasting technique it is possible to minimise ground
vibrations. It is therefore suggested that charge/hole be restricted as per distance
from villages/structures.
a) Distance between blasting point and the structure to be protected will be

earmarked.
b) A free face will always be maintained.
c) In multi row blasting, greater relief will be provided between rows using suitable
delay intervals.
d) Proper use of different type of relays for proper sequencing of the blast will be
e) All loose debris will be cleared off the blasting site.
should progress away from the structures to be protected
c) Burden and spacing should be to the requirement
towards structures
14.1.4 Loose Dumps of Coal
Dumps of loose coal, if left for long is likely to result in heating. Loose coal heaps
will be dozed and lifted on first dumped first dispatch basis.
14.1.5 Drainage
The Suliyari Belwar coal block shows dendritic to sub-dendritic drainage pattern.
The drainage of the block is mainly controlled by westerly flowing Hurdul Nala which
traverses the block, in the north-western part and passes throughout the block
beyond south-western part of the block. Many small seasonal nalas drained into
Hurdul Nala.
Garland drains are provided all along the Quarry surface area to prevent surface
rainwater into quarry. A 0.90 Cum Diesel Hydraulic Backhoe is provided for
formation of drains.

The drains will be connected to natural drainage system of the area. Within the
quarry itself, sumps of adequate capacity will be provided and adequate pumping
capacity will be provided at sumps. Proper arrangements will be made for cleaning of
mine water and rain water before connecting to normal drainage system.
14.1.6 Embankment
A protective embankment is required to be constructed all along diversion of Hurdul

nala. The embankment will have 3.0 m high above HFL. The design of the
embankment and Hurdul nala diversion will be finalized after getting design from
irrigation department.
14.1.7 Fire Fighting
The deposit, Suliyari-Belwar Coal Block is proposed to be worked by opencast

method. The cut coal after cutting with surface miner may catch fire in coal heaps
due to spontaneous heating. To prevent such occurrence, it is proposed to introduce
fire fighting and control measures on regular basis from the beginning itself wherever
it is necessary.
Following precautions will be taken to control the fire:
Exposure shall be restricted to a limited area
Fire quenching at the face will be done with high-pressure, high discharge jets.
Fire fighting ranges should be laid along the spoil heap side and along high wall
with sufficient water pressures.
In each shift, a fire fighting crew with a supervisor should be engaged for fire
fighting and quenching works.
A Fire tender is provided to deal with fires (Annexure No PR.2.4).
14.2 CONSERVATION
The proposed method of opencast mining provides higher rate of recovery. No other
method of work provides such high percentage of extraction. Grade wise extraction
of coal from the same seam, if necessary, will be easier with opencast method than
underground method. This will give optimum value for coal produced.
14.3 SCIENTIFIC STUDIES

Provision of Rs 2.00 Crores (Annexure No.PR 2.8) is provided to conduct scientific
studies, to ascertain the stability of the final high wall, dump slope stability and to
conduct other studies.
