ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP): A CASE STUDY OF KACHCHH, GUJARAT, INDIA

This case study outlines some noteworthy features of the process of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Plant (EMP) of Deendyal (Kandla) Port Trust (DPT) and Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC) lignite mines, Kachchh, Gujarat, India. These key viewpoints incorporate task depiction, options, checking, portrayal of the earth, open cooperation, biophysical impacts, social effects, sway essentialness, total impacts evaluation, observing, and introduction, which are earmarked in annexure in the form of sectors requiring EIA, Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESA), basic guidelines, and environmental laws. The case study reflects the detailed scenario of physical, biological, and socioeconomic profiles of the study areas, which directly or indirectly the environmental as well as ecological characteristics of the proposed project sites. The suggestive steps, recommendations and mitigation measures are also discussed herewith.

Environmental Management Plan

The Chalk Hills region of Salem, Tamil Nadu, South India, has been the producer of magnesite of both calcination and refractory grades, for more than a century. Due to the vein type nature of the mineralisation, mining of this white carbonate of magnesium involves employment of men and deployment of heavy earth moving machines. The host rock, dunite, is also being mined as it is a commercially valuable by-product. The mining activity, comprising drilling, blasting (both primary and secondary), loading of waste, transport of over burden and crushing of ore is having considerable impacts on the environment. Dust generation, noise levels and ground vibration were monitored as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Control measures recommended on the basis of findings of EIA are being practiced. Review studies were conducted to gauge the healing effects following the implementation of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP). Implementation of the EMP points towards the sustenance of a clean, safe and congenial working environment in the mine and its precincts.
