9 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The Kusmunda Opencast Expansion project was sanctioned for a targeted coal production
of 15 Mty. Presently, it has reached the production level of 15 Mty. The further expansion of
this project has been planned to a targeted capacity of 50 Mty. The additional production has
been linked to various Thermal Power Stations. As such, there will not be any problem to
market the coal from this project. The proposed project is of 50 MTPA (normative) & 62.5
(peak). Coal winning is being done by surface miner & Payloader-tipper combination
&Removal of OB is carried out by shovel-dumper combination. The project currently has
production capacity of 18.75 MTPA. Additional land of 1127.588 Ha is required for proposed
expansion. Total land – 3510.348 Ha. M/s Kusmunda Opencast Coal mining project has total
lease area of 1603 ha located in Barkuta and Kusmunda village, Katghora block, Korba District,
Chhattisgarh. The study area falls in safe category of Groundwater resource categorization
According to the LULC maps prepared from 2016 to 2020, the predominant land use
in the study area is agriculture land, which is occupying 47% (2020) of the study area. Followed
by 38% of Forest land, 6.6 % of Barren land, Built-up of 3.7 %, and water body 3.5 %. The
forest cover area has increased over the period of 2016-2020.
The general topography is flat terrain with minor undulations. The general elevation
ranging from 290 to 320 mamsl. The elevation of the study area varies from 195 to 372 mamsl.
The drainage is by southerly flowing Hasdeo River which lies to the east of the block. Hasdeo
River, a major tributary of Mahanadi River flowing along the eastern side in a north-south
direction, is the master drainage of the area. The Project area is traversed by a small first order
tributary of Gangdel nalla in the South-West. This nalla also flows Southerly and drains into
Hasdeo River. The other nallas, which drain the buffer zone, are Lachhminta, Kholar nalla,
Ahran Nadi, Dhengu nalla and Dom nalla etc. The drainage is mostly dendritic in nature. The
HFL of Hasdeo River, close to the Kusmunda OCP in east was recorded as 295 m in upstream
and 282m in downstream.
The nearest Ramsar site to the project area is Samaspur Bird Sanctuary in Uttar Pradesh
situated at an aerial distance of about 412.88 Km from the site in the NNW direction. So, the
Certificate regarding the same is not applicable for the particular proposal as there is no wetland
in the vicinity of 500 m from the lease area.
The major part of the area is occupied by the rocks of Gondwana of Super Group are
overlying the Chhattisgarh Super group and represented by the sandstone, shale and coal seam.
It is estimated that over 1400 m of sedimentaries are preserved in the Korba Coalfield. Korba
Coalfield also occupies a tectonic trough with faulted boundaries. The southern boundary of
this basin is defined by a major E-W (at places NW-SE) trending lineament traced over a
distance of about 150km from Korba to Sambalpur in the vicinity of Talchir coalfield. This
alignment more or less forms the southern limit of Mahanadi Graben. Apart from the boundary
faults, another important lineament running E-W is along the northern boundary of the Dipka,
Gevra and Kusmunda projects which is responsible for the preservation of the thick seams
towards the down throw side of the fault in the south.
To determine the groundwater level condition, total 44 wells are taken into
consideration, 34 wells are present in the core zone and 10 wells falls inside the buffer zone of
the site boundary. The water level depth varies from 4-14.53 m bgl for pre-monsoon season
May,2021. The maximum water level depth in core zone is 14.53 m bgl, while that is case of
buffer zone reaches upto 10.3 mbgl. The water level depth varies from 1-10 m bgl for post-
monsoon season, Nov 2021. The maximum water level depth in core zone is 13.6 m bgl, while
that is case of buffer zone reaches upto 5.6 mbgl. The water level depth in case of post monsoon
season is shallower as compared to the pre-monsoon season, it can be due to high amount of
rainfall in that year.The seasonal water level fluctuation for the year 2021 shows the variation
in water level of pre-monsoon (May) and post-monsoon (November). The water level
fluctuates from -0.6 to 10 m bgl. There is huge fluctuation in seasonal water level which can
be due to high amount of rainfall during the monsoon period of the year 2021 resulting in more
groundwater recharge.
The estimated quantity of mine seepage will be 13438 m3/day during the 5-year period.
The total groundwater abstraction through the borewells (2) will be about 277 m3/day. This
water will be used for different mining activities (both industrial and domestic & drinking). As
per the criteria for categorization of area made by Central Ground Water Authority for the
development point of view (GWRA, 2020) the present study area falls under ‘Safe Category’.
Enough scope exists for withdrawal of required amount (13715 m3/ day) of ground water. It
will not have any appreciable impact on ground water resources in the area.

Kusmunda Opencast Coal Mining Project of SECL
based on the rainwater harvesting structures available in the study area. The evapotranspiration
value has been set based on the hydrogeological and surface topographic condition
(https://indiawris.gov.in/wris/#/).
5 Conclusion and recommendations
The RMS values and the other results obtained from the simulated model have been discussed
in this section. Also, the correlation between the observed and calculated hydraulic head has
been discussed. A significantly good correlation has been observed between the observed and
calculated hydraulic head.
• Under transient state conditions, the groundwater flow model has been run until December
2031. The model predicts groundwater head changes for the present and future scenarios
from 2022 to 2031.
• The maximum water abstraction rate of 13715 m3/day from 2 existing bore wells (277
m3/day) and dewatering/mining seepage (13438 m3/day) for a year has been taken based
on the total water requirement throughout the model run period.
• The hydraulic head contours have been prepared based on the numerical model from 2014
to 2031.
• The hydraulic head contours of the numerical model from 2014 to 2031 have been
estimated during the present study. Figures 5 to 8 show the groundwater head (m asl) for
2015, 2022, 2026, and 2031. The hydraulic head varies from 260 to 357 m asl during
August 2014, and 259 to 352 m asl during January 2021.This indicates very few changes
in groundwater level during the model period, and the maximum drawdown is 2.5 m in
and around the study area during the prediction period (2031).
• The groundwater observation wells and piezometers records have calibrated and validated
the model. The observed and calculated hydraulic head significantly correlated during the
study period. The Root Mean Squared Error is 3.47 m.
The groundwater investigation has been carried out in and around the model area; 2 existing
bore wells and two dewatering locations are recommended to abstract water (13715 m3/day).
• The recommended well must be pumped for the recommended number of hours/ per day
with recommended discharge only.

channels around the mine. Right Bank Canal of Hasdeo River, which is the lifeline of agriculture in
these areas, is not disturbed due to mining activities.
“Comprehensive Catchment Treatment Plan in the area to arrest flow of silt in the Hasdeo River &
to improve water regime in respect of Kusmunda Expansion OC Project”. Its report is enclosed as
Annexure- 25. Its recommendations are being followed for improving water regime in the whole
catchment area.
Meanwhile, measures taken up by the mine management to augment groundwater level in

nearby areas is as follows:
1. Only Mine water is used and re-used for mining activities like dust suppression of haul roads,
Washing of HEMMs, CHP, quenching and plantation activities. No water is taken from Right
Bank Canal of State Irrigation department for meeting industrial requirements. Only
domestic water requirements are met by water from irrigation canal which is the major
lifeline for agriculture activities of the people around the Kusmunda Project area.
2. Domestic Effluent Treatment Plant (DETP) of 2 MLD capacity is constructed for treating the
domestic effluent of residential colonies. Treated water is then used for agricultural purposes
by nearby villagers.
3. Rain water harvesting system is being practiced to recharge the ground with rain water at
a. One structure at Kusmunda House
b. One structure at CGM Office
c. One structure at DAV School Kusmunda
d. Two structures at Central School Kusmunda
e. One structure each at Dispensaries of Vikas Nagar and Adarsh Nagar respectively
f. One structure at CAAQMS/ Environment Office, AHQ
4. Sedimentation pond of capacity 122mx35mx2m (8540 m3) & One Siltation Pond of capacity
40M x 60Mx 3M (7200 m3) both near siding are acting as a source for recharging the ground
water.
5. Kuchha/ garland drain has been constructed and cleaned regularly along the periphery of the
mines and residential areas for channeling of run-off water during rainy season.
6. Various Check Dams/ Stop Dams have been constructed to arrest the flow of Rain Water in
nearby Nallahs/ surface water bodies like Laxman Nallah, Rangbel Nallah etc.
7. Deepening of the Sarwamangla Nagar pond acts as a recharge structure for the Groundwater
in the up-dip side of the mine.
8. Old water logged quarry (310mx160mx20m) near Dump No.14 of Kusmunda OCP also acts
as a water recharge structure.
9. The project authority also meets the requirement of the Drinking water in nearby villages by
supplying potable water through mobile tankers.
10. 10 Nos. of Piezometers have been constructed to measure ground water levels in and around
the Kusmunda OCP. One no. of automatic water level recorders with telemetry systems has
been installed at CGM Complex Piezometer at Kusmunda OCP.
11. Moreover, Kusmunda Project continuously monitors about 28 open dug-wells in & around
the area on a quarterly basis for keeping a check on groundwater levels in the surrounding
area.
12. An RCC Settling Tank with Sludge Drying Bed for treatment of mine discharge water for
industrial use at an estimated cost of Rs 27.65 Lakhs has also been constructed and
commissioned along with newly constructed CHP.
13. Separate sludge collecting tanks and oil filter tanks have been constructed to avoid ground
water contamination at Workshop no.1 & 3 of Kusmunda OCP
14. Check dams/ appropriate embankments like vegetative bunds, check dams, nallah bunds etc.
are being taken up along major water bodies as per the recommendations of the Catchment
Treatment study.
15. A suitable plan for de-siltation & deepening of about 33 no. of village tanks & other water
bodies (along with their GPS Coordinates) located within 5 kms from the Mine Lease
Boundary of Kusmunda OC Project has been prepared for a four year period (i.e. from, FY
2022-23 to FY 2025-26) by Kusmunda Area & duly verified by DFO, Katghora.
16. Two Reservoirs of 70000 KL& 30000 KL have been planned & estimate moved for approval
for final settling of mine water before discharge into local water bodies.
17. Old Oil & Grease Trap has been dismantled. A new Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) (Cost: 40
Lakhs) of enhanced capacity for meeting the requirement of new HEMMs, as per PR of 50
MTY, is under construction at new integrated workshop of Kusmunda OCP. It is expected to be
commissioned by 31.12.2022. Details are as below:
 Dimensions: Length:65 m X Width 12m X Height 4m each.
8 Condition: - In case any village is located within the mining leasehold which is not likely to be
affected due to mining activities during the life of the mine, the Expert Appraisal committee
(EAC) should consider the proposal of Environment Clearance (EC) for reduced mining area.
The mining lease may be executed for the area for which EC is accorded. The mining plan may
also be accordingly revised and required stipulations under the MMDR Act, 1957 and MCR,
1960 met.
Compliance: Agreed.
There are 10 villages located within the present mine lease hold area. However, EC has been
granted for a reduced mining leasehold area & mining is presently being undertaken in reduced area.
Villages lying outside the EC boundary are being rehabilitated & resettled as per the approved R&R
Policy of Coal India Limited 2012 & Chhattisgarh Rajya Adarsh Punarvas Niti-2007 .
9 Condition: - Transportation of minerals by roads passing though the village shall not be
allowed. A bypass road should be constructed (say, leaving a gap of at least 200 meters) for the
purpose of transportation of the minerals so that the impact of sound, dust and accidents
could be mitigated. The PP shall bear the cost towards the widening and strengthening of
existing public road network in case the same is proposed to be used for the Project. No road
movement should be allowed on existing village road network without appropriately
increasingly the carrying capacity of such roads.
The transportation of coal is being carried out as per the provisions and route proposed in the
approved Mining Plan. As the Mine is in an expansion stage, Final layout of the mine according to
the Project Report has not been achieved yet & existing road network is being utilized by Kusmunda
as well as its nearby mines.
Transportation of coal through village roads is mostly avoided & trucks are being plied on
roads / routes approved in consultation with the State Government.
Meanwhile, measures such as widening of existing roads, cementation of some roads, regular
water sprinkling on the public roads, dense plantation on road sides, sign hoardings etc. is being
practiced in consultation with the State govt. to minimize the impact of sound, dust & accidents. A
provision of Rs 63.55 Crores has been provided in the Project Report for Cement Concretization of
Colony, Service, Approach & other roads in & around the mine premises.
Measures adopted at present by Kusmunda Area are as follows:
 An amount of Rs. 199.20 crore has been sanctioned for construction of 02 nos. of CC roads for
easy movement of Coal carrying tippers as well as public transportation around 3 mega mines of
SECL. Work is under progress. Construction is likely to be completed by May, 2023.
 Construction of approach road for connecting ROB with Gevra- Korba Road at Kusmunda
Project of Kusmunda (Ph-I) completed at a cost of Rs 4.15 crores for direct mine entry. This will
reduce the distance travelled by trucks & will be integrated with above four laning project of
public transportation CC road being carried out by PWD department.
 Construction of WBM/bypass road at an estimated cost of Rs 1.94 crores (Length: 1.1 kms and
0.936 ha Revenue Forest Land. Estimate is under process of approval.
Thus, Alternative roads or bypass roads are being constructed in a phased manner like new
entry into the mine through ROB to avoid residential areas, four laning of roads to avoid
decongestion on roads, new bypass road to avoid densely populated villages etc with the finalization
of mine layout & infrastructure creation in Kusmunda OCP.
Apart from the above, Majority of coal at Kusmunda OCP is being transported through:
 A new overhead state-of-the-art 20,000 Te Bunker & Truck Receiving Station (CHP Phase – I)
which has been commissioned from 08.02.2020. Annually 7.00 MT coal is transported through a
closed conveyor belt to nearby thermal power station.
 Four nos. of new SILO’s with Rapid Loading System (4000 Te capacity each) along with New
Railway Siding (CHP Phase- II) has been commissioned from 24.08.2021.
 In addition to this, Connectivity of New Railway Siding to East-West Rail Corridor Project (Rs.
27 crores)is in progress. 13% of the work has been completed up to 30.09.2022. This will
facilitate faster integration & movement of coal across the country.
 Minimal coal capacity is transported through trucks. These trucks are optimally loaded and
covered with tarpaulin before leaving the premises.
10 Condition: - Likewise, alteration or re-routing of footpaths, pagdandies, cart roads and village
infrastructure/public utilities or roads (for purposes of land acquisition for mining) shall be
avoided to the extent possible and in case such acquisition is inevitable, alternative
arrangements shall be made first and then only the area acquired. In these types of cases,
inspection reports by site visit by experts may be insisted upon which should be done through
reputed institutes.
Mining is a site-specific activity. So, Alternate arrangements like Construction of toads and
culverts, schools, medical facilities, health camps, markets providing basic facilities like toilets,
drinking water, and hand pumps are being constructed under CSR head and R&R schemes. ·
11. Condition: - As CSR activities including the mining Establishment bas become n,andatory
up to 2% of the financial turn over, Socio Economic Development of the neighborhood
habitants could also be planned and executed by the PPs more systematically based on tl!e
'N eed based door to door survey' by established Social Institutes/Workers on the lines
as required under TOR. "R&R plan/ compensation details for the Project Affected people·
(PAP) should be furnished. While preparing the R&R plan, the relevant State/N ational
Rehabilitation & Resettlement policy should be kept h• the view. In respect of SC/STs and
other weaker sections of the society in the study area, a need based sample survey sample
survey, family-wise should be undertaken to assess the requirements and action programmes
prepared and sµbmitted accordingly, ~ntegrating the sectoral programmes of the line
departments of the State Government. It may be clearly brought out whether the village
located in the mine lease area will be shifted or not. The issues relating to shifting of villages
include their R&R and socio- economic should be discussed in the EIA report.
CIL has modified & made one of the best & well-defined CSR Policy which was framed after
incorporating the fea~res of the Companies Act 2013 and as per notification issued by Ministry of
Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India on 27.02.2014 as well as DPEs guidelines. Expenses of CSR/CD
work taken up by Kusrtmnda Area for past 10 years is enclosed as Annexure-41. CSR Expenditure for
FY 2022-23 (Apr-Sep) is Rs 1.75 Lakhs. R&R programmes are being followed as mentioned and
discussed in Chapter no. IV and VII of EWEMP report prepared by CMPDIL, which is a QCI
NABET accredited consultant organization for preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) reports.

PART-G
Impact of the pollution abatement measure taken on conservation of natural
resources and on the cost of production.
Pollution control measures and plantations have helped to a great extent in
conservation of natural resources like water, soil, air, flora and fauna. The financial
impact on the cost of production due to the expenditure on pollution abatement
measures is approximately Rs 11.028 per tonne (Rupees 31.87 crores is the
Environmental expenses for 2021-22) of coal produced.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART-H
Additional measures/ investment proposals for environmental protection

including abatement of pollution, prevention of pollution.
1) Use of surface miners for coal winning & production eliminates the requirement of
drilling and blasting in coal and further need of crushing of coal in crushers.
2) All Drill machines are provided with a Dust extractor equipped with fabric filter and
wet drilling arrangement.
3) All Departmental Mobile water sprinklers for haul roads are equipped with Mist Spray
Sprinkling System.
4) Water guns are installed at coal stock yard & railway sidings to suppress fugitive
dust emission.
5) All surface approach roads to CHP and sidings are being converted from WBM to
RCC & 50% of the work has been completed in FY 2021-22. A fund of Rs 40 lakhs
has been earmarked for fixed sprinklers along the alignment of this road in Capital
Expenditure FY 2022-23. All Haul roads leading to the quarry face inside the mine
area are WBM.
6) All internal roads of the residential areas and approach roads to the mine and all
other roads which are in regular use are black topped.
7) A new overhead state-of-the-art 20,000 Te Bunker & Truck Receiving Station (CHP
Phase – I) has been commissioned from 08.02.2020. Annually 7.00 MT coal is
transported through a closed conveyor belt to nearby thermal power station.
8) Four nos. of new SILO’s with Rapid Loading System (4000 Te capacity each) along
with New Railway Siding (CHP Phase- II) has been commissioned from 24.08.2021.
This eliminates the need of loading of coal by pay loaders into rail wagons. It also
enhances the capacity of despatch of coal from Kusmunda Project (40.00 MTPA) &
further eliminates road transport of coal outside the mine to end consumers.
9) One No. of “Dust Suppression System with mist blower/fog forming long range water
sprinkler with horizontal throw of 40 mtrs(min) mounted on truck chassis of GVW-
8
25T(min)” for Kusmunda Area at a cost of Rs 47.69 Lakhs has been procured and
commissioned from 19.07.2019.
10) Supply order for one no. of additional Dust Suppression System with mist blower/fog
forming long range water sprinkler has been placed on 04.05.21. Delivery has been
delayed by the agency & it is expected to be procured and commissioned in FY 22-
23.
11) Dust Breaking arrangement & Vertical Greenery System (VGS) is operational at NK-
II Railway Siding. Work for VGS has also been awarded in Kusmunda Guest House
in FY 2021-22.
12) A Field Experiment study for “Erosion Prevention & Soil Dump Stabilization at
Overburden dumps through implementation of Vetiver system technology for
development of horticulture on restored mine sites” has been carried out at
Kusmunda OCP by IIT, Kharagpur. One Lakh Vetiver saplings were planted on a
1.00 ha site earmarked for the study in 2017-18. Growth of the saplings is
satisfactory.
13) 2 Nos. of 28 KL and 70 KL capacity water tankers with mist spray arrangements
have been additionally commissioned in last three years.
14) Dust masks are being distributed regularly to workers operating in dusty areas. No of
dust masks provided during 2021-22:45789 nos.
