Environment Management Plan of Khursipar Iron Ore Mine

The environmental management must be integrated into the process of mine planning so that ecological balance of the area is maintained and adverse effects are minimized. Environmental Management Plan (EMP) requires multidisciplinary approach. EMP can further be modified / upgraded time to time by taking advice from experts in the respective fields (forests, soil chemistry, ground water etc.), for the mining of minerals progresses. The changes warranted as per site specific conditions are to be accounted for during actual implementation. All phases of the project considering the impacts with mitigation measures and monitoring programme are covered by EMP. The plan outlines the measures that will be undertaken to ensure compliance with environmental legislations and to minimize adverse impact. EMP should essentially include monitoring programs and management control strategies for minimizing the adverse impacts: Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Noise, Vibration and fly rock during blasting, Biological reclamation measures, Land use planning and mine closure, Occupational Safety and Health, Socio-economic and cultural environment
