Transcription

1 6. ADDITIONAL STUDIES 6.0 INTRODUCTION Mining are associated with several potential hazards that effect to the employee and environment. It would normally require the assistance of emergency services to handle it effectively. The mining operation shall be taken out under the well management & control by the qualified mine manager. Similarly Stone Along with Associated Minerals mines also have impending dangers or risk which need be addressed for which a disaster management plan has been formulated with an aim of taking precautionary steps to avert disasters and also to take such action after the disaster which limits the damage to the minimum. Nevertheless, the following natural/industrial problems may be encountered during the mining operation. 1. Inundation- filling of the mine pit due to excessive rains. 2. Slope failures at the mine faces. 6.1 Public Hearing Public hearing is very significant part of the process of public participation envisaged under the guidelines issued by MoEF, Government of India. It facilitates involvement of all the stake holders of the project which is essential for ensuring smooth running of project and benefitting all sections of society in the process of economic development of the region. The public hearing of stone mining project viz. Mining of Minor Mineral in the Mines of Narnaul with production capacity of 4.0 Million Tonnes Per Annum of stone (ROM) of M/s. A.N.E. Industries Pvt. Ltd at Tehsil Narnaul, District Mahendragarh, Hayana was conducted on at 3:30 pm. The details are appended herewith: Public Hearing Advertisement Page 162(Chapter-6)
