CHAPTER-I

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Project:

The Kuju Block is situated in the South Central part of the West Bokaro Coalfield.
The four pre-nationalisation leases, called Mourpa, Kuju, Hesagora and Banwar have
been re- organized in 1973,after nationalization of coal mining industry, in a single
unit named Kuju colliery, which now forms the part of Kuju area of CCL.
Kuju Block is dotted by a number of pits, trenches, wells and other irregular
excavations started indiscriminately without an idea of planning in pre-nationalisation
period in the name of opencast mining. These excavations were supplemented by
numerous inclines having limited working extent often restricted by small faults as
well as due to non availability of any type of underground transport in the mine. The
Kuju Block is bounded by latitude 23 0 44‟ 24” and 23 0 45 „ 17 “ and longitude 85 0 29
0
„ 36” and 85 31‟ 32 “.It is covered by part of toposheet nos 73E/8 and 73 E/9 of
Survey of India.
The Kuju, Mourpa and Banwar mining sections were separately operated by
numerous leases, sub leases and mining contracts till nationalization of the coal
company. Presently mining activities are concentrated only in Kuju and Banwar
section. In Kuju section production comes from Seam X and in Banwar section
production comes from multiseam quarry of seam-V,VA,VI and VII. Seasonal mining
activities are restored to in the Mourpa section. Now UG mining activities are being
carried out between Bander Chua nala and Mourpa nala in the seam VA , VI ,VII ,VIII
and IX. Mining in this part is restricted by limited strike (around 350 m ) and various
faults. Extensive opencast as as well as Underground mining activities has also
taken place to the west of Bander Chua nala and extended beyond old NH 33
thereby resulting in fire and subsidence of old NH 33.A number of quarries, mainly in
the incrop portion of top seams has been worked in unscientific manner and filled up
with OB. Area to the north of Fault F12 and upto Chutua nala is being explored and a
Revised Geological Report of Kuju Block incorporating this area is under preparation
at CMPDI. The total annual production in 2010-11 of the mine was 57817 T against
the annual target of 90000 T with the help of 4 nos of SDL. Mining activities are
mainly done in Seam VII(Washery grade III) and Seam VIII(Washery grade IV). The

coal produced specially from Kuju section is dispatched to Kedla washery by road
transport (contractual).Chronology of different reports prepared is given below:

employment of the then existing manpower and to improve the techno-economic of

the mine. Above Report has envisaged to work Seam IX, Seam VIII, Seam VII,
Seam VI and Seam VA.

1.1.1 Present Status:

At present mining activities are being carried out through the inclines in the
Eastern part of Bander Chua nala by Underground mining method. Area to the
west of Bander Chua nala (which has been worked extensively by open cast
as well as underground) upto the new NH-33 is considered for opencast
mining. Underground mining in Seam VII (development) and Seam VIII
(development and depillaring) is being carried out in the proposed opencast
area. A portion of NH-33 from 70.5 kms to 72.5 km at Kuju had collapsed due
to fire in abandoned underground mines. A photo (July 2011) of the site
shows the villages and a temple (under construction) on the proposed
opencast mine.

Out of above 61 boreholes,30 boreholes involving a meter age of 5424.05 meters

were drilled in Kuju sector. The Kuju sector has a borehole density of 23
boreholes/sq km.
Persistent coal seams belonging to Barakar formation are available within the block.
Incrop of all the coal seams, though dissected by faults, are available in the block.
The net geological coal reserve (proved) has been estimated as 156.553 MT

1.3 Justification of Preparation of Detailed project Report

The present report is justified in view of the following

 The report envisages improvement in mine economics. The underground mine
is incurring heavy losses.
 Enhanced level of production from 0.057 MTY to 1.30 MTY.

Job No. 341121 I-3

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

 Increased recovery or percentage of extraction due to feasibility of opencast

mining.
 Increased demand of coal for power generation.
 Enhanced or Improved productivity of existing manpower.
 Extraction of opencast able coal in a systematic manner so that coal seams
lying below Seam X can be extracted by Underground method in future (Seam
VII and VIII are already working).
 Safety of NH-33 by leaving a barrier of 100 m from the Quarry surface.

1.3 Variants Proposed in Detailed Project Report (November 2011)

Option I- This Variant is prepared keeping in view of the following mine parameters.
 Northern Boundary: The northern surface boundary has been fixed along a
safe distance 60 m from Chowtha nala.
 Southern Boundary: The surface boundary along the South has been fixed at
the leasehold line of Kuju Block.
 Eastern Boundary: The surface boundary along the East has been fixed
leaving a surface barrier of 60 m from Bander Chua nala.
 Western Boundary: The western boundary has been fixed at a distance of 100
m from the new diverted NH 33.

External Dump has been proposed at Pokharia Mouza (Coal Bearing & non forest
land) within the lease of Kuju colliery in between Bander Chua nala and Mourpa
nala. Revised Geological Report of Kuju Block is under preparation annexing this
area(Mourpa Sector). Bore holes are already done in the area between fault F12
and Chowtha nala. Top seam (Seam XIII) occurs at a depth of around 60m from
surface. Lead to external OB dump is less than 600 m from the pit. Coal and OB
removal are proposed to be excavated by departmental resources.

Option II –All parameters are same as in Option I. Coal and OB removal by

outsourcing means.

1.4 Difficulties and constraints in mining with associated risk

0 0
a) Due to the steep gradient of the mine 10 to 19 Internal dumping is not
proposed in the mine. OB is proposed to be dumped externally. Each layer of
the external dump is around 30 m height and top RL of external dump is less
than 90 m above the surface topography. Side road width has been taken as
20 m between different layers of dump.
b) Due to presence of irregular, old Opencast as well as Underground mining in
the proposed mining area, proper care should be taken while working on the
underground working, fire area and worked out small pits.
c) Hutments (180 nos.) on the proposed mining area are to be shifted elsewhere
before the commencement of mining operation.
d) A bridge on the Bander Chua nala is to be constructed for OB transportation to
dumping place.
e) Diesel Shovels and Drills are preferred considering the existing mine profile,
easy maneuverability and life of opencast mine.
f) Forest land (22.74 hectare) for mining activities are to be acquired. No forest
land is needed for external OB dumping.

1.6 Technology Upgrade:

Upgrading technology is a prerequisite for more effective use of resources and thus
improving environmental performance, which becomes all the more important in view
of a rapidly growing demand of coal in our country. In most cases, newer
technologies and processes are both more efficient and less polluting than the
technology they replace, allowing increased production using less material and
causing less pollution.
Considering, what has been stated in the above paragraph, the proposed mining plan
suggests flexibility in the implementation stage within the scope of the proposed
mining plan to respond to improvements in technology and equipment which would
result in improved profitability, productivity and mitigate environmental hazards due to
mining.

2.2 Utility or Market for the coal from project

With upcoming new industries, demand of coking and non coking coal
has sharply increased. Draft Project Report of the Kuju OCP (1.30
MTY) is therefore, proposed with a view to partially fulfil the above
indicated growth in demand of good quality power grade coal(Grade C
–long flame).Moreover this OC may reduce the heavy losses incurred
by existing Kuju underground mine.

2.3 Available Linkage or firm Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA)

Coal from this project is being proposed to dispatch to the basket
linkage to consumers in Power Sector and E-Booking.

2.4 Justification of opening the project based on Marketability (to

fulfill the gap in demand) and/or firm linkage (FSA)
th
The availability figures till end of XII plan period (2016-17), as shown
in the Table 2.0, have been obtained from CCL. It appears from the
figures that till 2011-12 there is a gap of about 27.97 MT which
includes both Power as well as Washery grade coal. After considering
the production from the upcoming project this gap reduces by 1.30 MT
in power grade. The gap in demand and availability of coal over the
year justifies implementation of this project.

4.1.6 Geology and Structure of Block area – The Kuju block is located in the South
Central part of WBCF and lies on the southern limb of the southern synform. The
Gondwana in the block is represented by rocks of Barren Measures, Barakars and
Karharbari Formations. The drilling activity however, was mainly confined in Barakar
Formation. The Talchir Formation and post Barren Measures sequence are absent in
Kuju block.
4.1.7 Brief geological setting within the block –
Coal bearing formations and their general behavior –
Karharbari Formation – The only coal seam belonging to the Karharbari formation is
Seam-0. Thickness of this formation in the block is about 72m. It has developed in the
north eastern part of Mourpa section and gradually pinches out towards west and south
portion of the block.
Barakars – The entire area is covered by the rocks of Barakar formation attaining a
thickness of more than 450m in the block. This is the major coal bearing formation
containing 24 co relatable coal seams. The Barakars are characterized by thick
sequence of coarse to medium grained sandstones inter banded with alternating bands
of sandstone and shales and coal seams.
Barren Measures - This formation is exposed in the north eastern and north western
part of the block. It has a thickness of about 150m. The rock types are grey shales and
carbonaceous sandy shales with sideritic bands.
Burnt outcrop – Burnt outcrop of coal seams are noticed in all the three sections of
Kuju block. The entire outcrop of seam X along Banderchua Nala makes prominent
upland along the burnt portion. The burning has resulted in baking of shale into
buff/brown/white coloured shale. Similar phenomenon is noticed in the overlying seam
XI in the same area. In Mourpa section burnt rocks are noticed where outcrop of seams
VI/VII have been affected by surface burning. In Banwar section outcrop of seams V,
VA & VI have been affected by surface burning.
Igneous intrusion – No igneous intrusion have been recorded in the borehole or in the
mine working.

4.3 Geological Reserves

4.3.1 Brief methodology adopted for reserve estimation –

Isochore and isograde of individual seams have been drawn. The area of
the inter-play of isochore and isograde of individual seam has been
measured with the help of planimeter. The reserve below isochore of
0.90m for various seams has been excluded from estimation.
The area thus measured has been multiplied with average thickness of the
enclosing isochore so as to arrive at the volume of coal.
Heave zone of the fault on the floor of the individual seam and 40m barrier
along nalas and 60m barrier on both sides of the National High way have
been excluded from reserve estimation.

The specific gravity of the individual seam has been considered

separately for different grades. A mathematical average of ash % of
individual grade have been considered and 1% of the average ash thus
calculated, has been added to 1.29 & 1.28 (respectively for coking and non
coking coal) to arrive at the Sp. Gr. for individual grade. Grade wise Sp. Gr.
considered for estimation of reserve are given below

Grade Av. Ash % Sp. Gr.

Coking coal
SG-I <15.0 1.44
SG-II 16.5 1.46
W-I 19.5 1.49
W-II 22.5 1.52
W-III 26 1.55

Non coking coal
Grade D 28 1.56
Grade E 34 1.62
Grade F 40 1.68
Grade G 51 1.79

Volume of the coal has been multiplied by the Sp. Gr. of the coal falling in
the particular grade to obtain the gross in situ reserve. A deduction of 10%
of the gross reserve has been made in order to obtain the net in situ
reserve of the coal.

MINE BOUNDARY, RESERVES AND MINE LIFE

5.1 Introduction
Mining activities, both opencast and underground has taken place earlier in this block.
Now all mining activities are suspended in the proposed mining area due to fire and
proximity to old NH-33. Underground mining activities are being carried out in Kuju mine
near substation. Balance Coal and OB quantity of the quarry has been estimated after
deducting all mined out quarries and UG workings.

It is proposed to exploit the coal seams in the Quarry from Seam XIII to Seam X. The
proposed quarriable block is based on the “Geological Report of Kuju Block, West
Bokaro Coalfield” prepared in August 1981. The parameters of the opencast minefield
and the technical condition of its development make it feasible to produce 1.30 MT of
ROM coal per annum with normal technical indices i.e., deployment of equipment, strike
length of the quarry, annual advances of the faces, etc.
Five (5) numbers of coal horizons, namely Seams XIII, XII, XI, X A and X are occurring
within this mining block. Seam X is the base seam of the proposed quarry.

5.2 Mine Boundaries:

Mine boundary optimization is considered keeping in view of the following parameters:
 Northern Boundary: The northern surface boundary has been fixed along a safe
distance of 60 m from Chowtha nala.
 Southern Boundary: The surface boundary along the South has been fixed at the
leasehold line of Kuju Block (metamorphic line).

Job No. 341121 V-1

 Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

 Eastern Boundary: The surface boundary along the East has been fixed leaving
a surface barrier of 60 m from Banderchua nala.
 Western Boundary: The western boundary has been fixed at a distance of 100 m
from the new diverted NH 33.

5.3 Mineable Reserves:

The quarry boundary has been optimized to the extent that the extractable reserve has
been maximized to produce coal @ 1.30 MTY within the proposed boundary.

5.4 Quarry Floor consideration:

Quarriable reserve has been considered upto Seam X only. Seam IX A of average
thickness of 1.1 m occurs at parting of 17.0 m (avg.) from Seam X.

5.5 Seam wise details of Mineable Reserves:

X 9.92-12.39 27.545 3.12
Total 66.011 9.60

5.6 Reason for difference in Mineable Reserve and Net insitu Geological Reserve:

 Geological Block area is-4.90 Sq km where as Quarry Area is-0.65 Sq km.(it is a

part of Geological Block)
 Remaining area consists of Mourpa sector(to be annexed in revised GR),
Banwar sector(no mining activity) and area bounded by block boundary in the
east and Bander chuan nala in the west (Kuju underground mine in operation).
 Reserves extracted by under ground as well as opencast have been deducted
from geological reserve to estimate the mineable reserve (in the proposed
quarry).

Job No. 341121 V-2

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

 Quarry area is reduced considerably while keeping a safe barrier from Chutua
nala , Banderchua nala and NH-33 thereby decreasing the mineable reserve
within the Quarry.
 Coal lost due to fire near NH-33 is deducted to attain mine able reserve.

5.7 Target Output & Mine Life:

The mine has been planned for a nominal production capacity of 1.30 MT per annum of
coal and peak production 1.62 MTY. The target has been assessed based on geological
constraints, optimization of mining operations, size of the quarry, rate of advance, type
of mining system adopted , existing developed workings and old worked out quarries
Etc.

Mine Life:
The project will sustain a quarry life of eight years. The break-up of total period is as
follows:
 Production build-up period – Two years
 Targeted production period - Six years

CHAPTER-VI

METHOD OF MINING

6.1 General
Considering the geo mining characteristics of the mining block i.e. thin seams,
steep gradient of the seams within the quarry, occurrence of geological
disturbances, abandoned old opencast mines, developed galleries and presence
of fire, mining with shovel-dumper combination is proposed to work in Kuju
Opencast mine.

6.2 Geo-Mining Characteristics

The Geo-Mining characteristics of the proposed Kuju OCP (1.30 MTY) are given
in the table below. A total no. of five coal horizons is occurring within the
quarriable area.
6.2.1 Seam Gradient – The dip of the formation varies from 10O - 190 in the
proposed quarry .towards east west.
6.2.2 Assessment of Quarriable Potentiality
A study was carried out in this report to find out the possibility of opencast
working upto seam X. Average grade of coal produced from this quarry is
expected to be Grade C (long flame).Feasibility of extracting coal upto 140 m
depth including developed area of underground workings by opencast method is
studied and it is found technically feasible to convert the underground mine to
opencast mine upto seam X.
Following points are considered while preparing this quarry:

 Seam X has been considered as base seam.

 Coal seam roof and floor surface as generated in the MINEX model has
been used for the quarry planning purposes and estimation of coal
reserve.

 Topography, fault position etc. has been considered as provided in the

Geological Report of Kuju Block and plan supplied by the project.

Job No. 341121 VI-1

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

 Based on the MINEX model an estimate of the gross insitu geological

reserve falling within the proposed quarry has been estimated.

 The net geological reserve in the quarry has been estimated by deducting
coal reserve already quarried or depillared and coal already extracted in
developed/standing pillars with the following consideration
o Reserve already quarried or depillared-Insitu coal reserve falling
within the vertical limits (at a slope of 70 degree) of top edge of the
mined out quarries have been completely deducted for seams
worked earlier. In case of underground B&P depillared pillars, coal
reserves falling within the depillared panel area have been
completely deducted.
o Percentage of extraction of coal for opencast in remaining
developed pillars has been estimated by deducting a fixed
percentage of 40% for coal extracted during underground B&P
development.

6.4 Choice of Technology:

Considering the geo-mining conditions shovel-dumper combination with

drilling and blasting has been proposed for mining the quarry. Other
technologies like Dragline, Bucket Wheel Excavator, Surface miners are
ruled out for this quarry.

Shovel Dumper Combination

The equipment selection process is the most critical part of the project planning.
The following selection criteria have been considered for selecting the size and
type of the equipment:
1. The strike length of the mine
2. Annual rate of advance
3. Total volume of overburden and coal to be handled annually
4. The individual thickness of coal seam and partings
5. The geo-mining condition of the mine.
6. The type of mining system to be used like Inclined Slicing or
Horizontal Slicing.
7. The intuitive economics of the mine
8. Presence of geological disturbances like faults, intrusions etc.

Job No. 341121 VI-3

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

Keeping in view of the Geological and Mining parameters of Kuju OCP mining
area i.e. steep gradient of the seam (100-190), rated output of 1.30 MTY, Shovel-
dumper mining system with horizontal slicing has been envisaged for the quarry.

6.4 Equipment Selection

Following options are considered for this mine-
 Option I- Coal and OB both Departmental and external dump is on Pokharia
Mouza(Coal bearing and non forest land) at a distance of around 600 m from
mine.
 Option II –All parameters are same as in Option I. Coal and OB removal is by
outsourcing means.
Considering the average strike length of the quarry, gradient and thickness of the
seam, annual load of excavation, lead of HEMM, presence of developed UG
mines and abandoned quarries the following equipments have been selected.

Coal Winning:
Coal will be mined by 6.00 cum diesel hydraulic shovel with back hoe attachment
in combination with 60T rear dumpers. This attachment will be useful tools in
handling faulted area operation, coal wedge removal, working over developed
area and temporary sump formation in horizontal slicing method. For the
estimation of the dumpers population in coal, the lead for coal transportation has
been considered for each year and for each seam. Coal will be transported
through batters. Ramp is provided (1 in 10 gradient) to facilitate HEMM
movement in between different horizon. Possibility of haul road on floor is ruled
out due to steep gradient of coal seam. A hydraulic shovel with backhoe is
proposed in common to deal with developed workings from upper bench. While
working developed seams by opencast method, further occurrence of fire can not
be ruled out, so adequate precautions are required to deal with fire as soon as it
appears. 1.2 Cum Back hoe, F E loader and water sprinkler have been for
common mining activities. Productivity of these FE loader and backhoe has not
been considered while calculation the requirement of HEMM for the mine. The

Job No. 341121 VI-4

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

coal will be transported right from the coal face to the feeder breaker through the
haul roads made along the batters of the quarry.

Overburden Removal:
OB / partings are envisaged to be removed by 6.0 cum diesel hydraulic shovel in
combination with 60T rear dumpers. OB will be transported through batters like
Coal transportation. Ramp is provided (1 in 10 gradient) to facilitate HEMM
movement in between different horizon to the external dump site as shown in the
dump plan.

Drilling and Blasting:

Drilling and blasting operations for loosening the coal and OB are necessary
before excavation by shovels. For the purpose of drilling in coal and OB benches
160mm Diesel RBH drills have been provided. One wagon drill of 100mm-
120mm has been provided to deal with thin coal seam/partings and wedge
formation. Controlled or muffled blasting will be practiced near the important
surface infrastructures.
Mining system & system parameters:

As the seams are steeply dipping the mine will follow horizontal slicing method.
The mining system has been depicted in the cross section of the mine.

The following mining parameters have been considered in the project.

6.5 Precautions to be taken during mining operation due to existing UG

workings, abandoned old quarry and probable break out of fire:
a) Quarry shall be worked by Heavy Earth Moving Machinery only. No manual operation
in the quarry will be done.
b) HEMMs, except drilling machines shall not be deployed on the bench where
thickness of coal or overburden above the UG galleries, as proved by advance
boreholes or other suitable methods, is less than 6m.
c) Exposed coal faces (including UG galleries )shall be kept covered with fine grained
incombustible OB material to prevent breathing of air and control fire to dip side
working. This cover shall be removed only at the time of coal extraction.
d) Overburden containing carbonaceous material shall not be dumped within 30m of the
exposed side of the coal benches. Hot overburden shall be quenched and cooled at
dump sites.
e) No person shall be allowed at any place in the opencast working where the thickness
of overburden and/or coal over any gallery is less than 1.5m.
f) Except for the purpose of inspection and support work no person shall be allowed in
the underground mine beneath and within 200 m of the opencast excavation. The
person visiting UG will take all safety precautions for safe working.

Job No. 341121 VI-6

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

g) The rate movement of active coal face should be faster and stagnation of Coal
face should be avoided.
h) Blasting in fire area
i) No explosive other than slurry and emulsion explosive shall be used.
ii) Blasting shall be done with detonating fuse down the hole. Fresh drill holes
should be tightly plugged at the mouth.
iii) Temperature inside the hole shall be measured by Bi-Metallic thermocouple
heat sensor (before filling with water) and if the temperature exceeds 80 oC in any
hole the hole will not be charged.
iv) All blast holes shall be kept filled with water. When any hole is traversed by
cracks or fissures the hole shall not be charged unless it is lined with an asbestos
pipe and the hole filled with warter. In addition, bentonite should be used for
sealing any cracks at the bottom of the hole.
v) Detonating fuse shall not be laid on hot ground without taking suitable
precautions.
vi) Charging and firing of holes in any one round shall be expeditiously completed
and in any case within 2 hours.
vii) A parting of at least 2m between the bottom of a short hole and roof of
underground gallery shall be left intact.
viii) Effective muffling of hot shot holes with old wire rope screens shall be done
for prevention of flying hot fragments.
ix) No blasting shall be done in crushed or broken ground.
x) No person shall be employed within 150m when blasting the heated material.
xi) The spacing of hole in the coal/Ob benches lying immediately above the
galleries shall be so adjusted that the holes do not lie immediately above the
galleries in order to ensure that blast holes do not directly fire into the
underground working.
xii) All holes in the coal/Ob benches lying immediately above the galleries dshall
be charged with water impulses or with moist sand of at least 0.6m in length at
the bottom of the hole.

Job No. 341121 VI-7

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

xiii) No person including a shot firer shall take shelter within 100m of the quarry
opening. Such shelter shall be of an approved design.
6.6 Mining Strategy to work the balance reserves beyond the present opencast
proposal
Considering the steep dip nature of the property dip side extension of the
proposed quarry through opencast operation appears to be a difficult proposition.
Majority of the seams to the dip side of the proposed quarry have underground
potentiality. These seams may be worked in future by under ground mining methods.
The High wall of the proposed quarry may be regraded and utilised to mine the
balance coal reserves through underground means.

While working above underground workings and fire, suitable precautions as laid
down by DGMS vide its various Circulars should be strictly observed.

CHAPTER-VII

MINING & DUMPING STRATEGY

7.1 Constraints on Mine Development

a) Underground Workings and old quarried area: The proposed mining area
contains old underground workings in Seam XII, X A and X (other seams like
Seam VIII and Seam VII also worked by UG). Suitable statutory precautions
need to be taken during the extraction of these seams.
b) Fire: Mine is to be worked with suitable precaution while working near the fire in
Seam XII.
c) Built-up: An extensive built up area is located within the proposed quarry(around
180 hutments).Villages known as Lohagate and Lakri gate is located on the
proposed mine area. These needs to be shifted and/or rehabilitated.
d) OB Dumping site: Within the leasehold area of the mine, non coal bearing area
is not available upto a lead of 5 km. So it is proposed to dump the OB on coal
bearing area and to re handle it later.
e) Approach to Dump: A bridge over Banderchua nala is to constructed for HEMM
movement from the quarry to external dump site.
f) Forest Land Acquisition: Forest Land of 22.74 Hac is to be acquired for mining
operation within the quarry.
The above constraints have been considered while formulating
mining/dumping strategy.
7.2 Mining Strategy / Mining Sequence
The quarry is proposed to be worked by horizontal slicing method by shovel-
dumper combination (considering the steep seams). Batter roads along with
ramps are designed to evacuate coal and OB from this mine.

Mcum.
All the OB is proposed to be dumped externally on the Mourpa Sector(within the
leasehold of the project) at a distance of about 600 m. It is coal bearing area and
Geological Report of this is to be prepared .It is further proposed to rehandle this
dump to fill up the void created by worked out quarry. Maximum dump RL is 440
m which is 84m(average) above the surface topography. There is no forest land
in the proposed dump area.

Box Cut and 2 nd (Second) year Stage Dump Plan

CHAPTER - X
PUMPING AND DRAINAGE

The pumping system of Kuju Open cast project of CCL has been designed to
dewater the inflow of water due to precipitation within the active pit limit during the
monsoon and non-monsoon season and the ground water discharged from aquifers
to enable the mining activity to continue round the year.
The planning of dewatering the mine has been done in such a way that the working
faces and haul roads will remain dry as far as possible. The layout of the quarry
provides suitable gradient along the quarry floors and the benches to facilitate self
drainage of water to the sump at the lowest level of the quarry.
10.1 SOURCE OF WATER
The intake of rainwater to the opencast mine is non-uniform during the year. The
maximum rainwater intake will be during the period of about four months (middle of
June to middle of October) in a year. During dry season, seepage from strata is
expected to be moderate and the same can be dealt by running required number of
pumps provided for pumping during monsoon. During this period, repair &
overhauling of the pumps will be done by rotation.
It is proposed to make garland drains around the quarries and divert the
surface water including rainwater from catchments area to near by natural course of
water / nallah.
The main pumps will handle the quantity of water inflow during a day of peak rainfall
in monsoon.
During the heavy monsoon period, the work in lower most bench may have to be
stopped as it will not be possible to pump out the entire make of water on the wettest
day. Therefore, it is proposed to draw a part of the lower-most bench which would
then act as sump.
Water accumulated in the sump will be pumped out to the surface and discharged
into the nallah flowing outside the quarry. It is proposed to create a sedimentation
lagoon by constructing a series of check dams across the nallah. The lagoon will
help to separate the suspended solids from the mine water.
Water overflowing the check dams would join near-by nallah and finally Choutha
river.

Job No. 341121 X-1

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

Surface drainage and flood protection

All the smaller natural channels of water and nallah, finally join the Choutha river
form the group representing the surface water resources in the region. A suitable
garland drain is proposed to arrest the rainwater entering into the mine.
The surface drainage and flood protection system for the mine will include:

o Diversion of water courses to other water courses away from the mining area.

o Diversion dams/ bunding arrangement as part of water course diversions to

prevent water entering the mining area.

o Cross drainage structures where the haul road and other access roads cross
diversions.

o Various inlet, outlet and erosion protection structures.

In-pit Drainage Work

o During the rainy season, water will be allowed to accumulate in the sump on
the floor of lower most Seam of the quarry.

o Sumps are provided for the dewatering pumps which will transfer in-pit water
for controlled discharge off the site.
The planning of dewatering the mine shall be done in such a way that the
working faces and haul roads in the quarry shall remain dry as far as possible.
The layout of the quarry provides suitable gradient along the quarry floors and
the benches to facilitate self drainage of water to the sump at the lowest level of
the quarry.
Water accumulated in the mine sump will be pumped out to the surface and
finally discharged into the near- by nala which finally join Choutha river.

10.3 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

10.3.1 The pumping requirement has been calculated on the basis of the
following general considerations:-
- The geographical location of the Project.
- Meteorological data from the area / nearest rain-gauge station
concerning rainfalls.

Job No. 341121 X-2

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

- Life of the mine and percentage probability of maximum rainfall in one

day during the life of the mine.
- General climatic conditions, Surface features of the terrain beyond the
boundary of the mine / opencast working.
- Catchments area, Mined out areas and areas beyond excavation, and
dumped / spoil dump area.
- Run-off characteristics of the area.
- Depth of the quarries at different stages.
- Inflow to the quarry of UG water & seepage from near by nala/ river.
- Desired location at the surface where the quarry water can be
discharged, considering the Surface drainage system.

- Maximum number of days to pump out the accumulated water in the

quarry during peak rainfall in monsoon and the number of pumping
operation hours per day.

- Geological characteristics of OB and coal seams.

- Desired location at surface where quarry water can be discharged

considering the surface drainage system.

- Effective working hours – 20 hours/day for pumping calculation, but in

monsoon period pumping may be done round the clock.

10.3.2 BASIC DATA

The following data has been taken into consideration for arriving at the
volume of water accumulating in the quarry and the size of the pumps :-

(a) Maximum depth of the proposed mine : 145 m

(b) Probable maximum rainfall in a day in : 152mm

CONSERVATION
Conservation of coal enjoins maximum recovery of in-situ reserves of coal and its
proper utilization.
Coal deposits in Kuju OCP mining block upto Seam X are potential seams for
opencast mining, both qualitatively and quantitatively. These aspects are taken into
account during mine planning and operation in ensuring maximum recovery.
Opencast mining using shovel dumper system is one of the very important
technology of coal production of thick or even thin seams from shallow depth upto
economic stripping ratio (cubic metre of overburden required to be removed to raise
one tonne of coal). The coal production from opencast method in Indian mining is

- Measures to control dust and emission of noxious gases
- Measures for pollution control.

18.2 Final Mine Closure Plan (Conceptual)

Mine closure operations is proposed to be undertaken after examination and detailed

study that there is no further expansion possibility of the mine and the void is to be
suitably filled up so that the land is utilized gainfully by the society. Intermediate
stoppages of operations due to any reasons for a period of time do not come under
the proposed scheme of mine closure. This chapter proposes following aspects:-
A. Technical Aspects
B. Environmental Aspects
C. Social Aspects
D. Financial Aspects

Job No. 341121 XVIII-4

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

18.2.1 TECHNICAL ASPECTS:

Safety aspects.
 Pit slopes and waste dumps.
 Hydrology and hydrogeology.
 Details of decommissioning of the infrastructures.
 Closure of entries like pits and entry to the mine.
18.2.2 Safety:

After attaining the final stage dump (including internal Dump) the remaining portion
between dump toe and final stage Quarry floor should be fenced properly so that no
human being or stray animals should be trapped within. Internal dumps are proposed
to be suitably re-graded to avoid deep trenches.

18.2.3 Pit Slopes and waste dumps:

The final pit slopes are designed to avoid any slope failure. Technical study is
proposed to be conducted before deciding upon the final slope. Both the external
and internal Dumps are designed in such a way that there are minimal chances of
slope failure. The external Dump is sloped ultimately in the overall range of 25
degree to 28 degrees. The internal dump slopes are designed at milder gradient so
that even with the percolation of water in the dip side of the quarry, the dumps
remain stable. It is proposed that the internal and external dump must be provided
with toe walls/ silt arrestors and garland drains. Vegetation cover on surface of these
dumps is proposed to be ensured as a final closing operation.

18.2.4 Hydrology and Hydrogeology:

In the mine closure plan, the surface flow pattern of precipitation and mine water
drainage is envisaged to be examined and the water channel suitably laid down so
that this is acceptable to the local community and it do not disturb the general
hydrology of the area. Efforts are proposed to be made to regenerate the ground
water resources.

Job No. 341121 XVIII-5

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

18.2.5 Decommissioning of the infrastructure:

The coal project develops lot of infrastructure for sustaining their operations. These
include Workshop, Coal Handling Plant, Railway Siding, Office Complex, Residential
Complex, Roads, Pipe Lines and Transmission Line. Decommissioning of the
infrastructure should be planned in such a way that the Land occupied by these
infrastructures is released. However these infrastructures are proposed to be reused
for the neighboring projects /mine.
18.2.6 Closure of entry to the mine:

All entries to the mine must be effectively sealed. This will prevent illegal mining,
entry of fire and water etc.

18.3 ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

 Air, water, dust.
 Reclamation of forest/vegetation.
 Management of recharge areas.
 Acceptable surface and ground water flows.
 Alternative use of land

18.3.1 Air, water, dust:

It is proposed that air quality; water quality and dust level is to be monitored.
Necessary actions to check the pollution from the closed mine, if any, in respect of
air, water and dust is to be taken after examining the local site conditions then
prevailing.

18.3.2 Reclamation of Forests/vegetation:

It is proposed that major portion of the project area is covered with vegetation. This
will involve both forest land as well as non-forest land. Certain areas, mostly
industrial areas, where service building are proposed to be located and to be used
are not proposed for plantation.

18.4.1 Management of recharge areas:

It is proposed that the recharge areas are fully utilized and sufficient availability of
water, if feasible, is ensured to enhance ground water availability.

Job No. 341121 XVIII-6

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

18.4.2 Surface and ground water flows:

In the final stage, wherever the mine water is likely to flow out to surface and meet
the natural drainage system, the quality of water is proposed to be assessed and
flow pattern for mine water be properly modified/ redesigned. Alternately, the water
treatment arrangements may be considered depending upon the local site
conditions.

18.4.3 Alternative use of land:

During the mining operation, the land usage changes from its pre-mining scenario.
The final stage land use plan shows the use of land in a post-mining scenario when
coal-mining operations have completed. Alternative use of land, specially released
from infrastructure areas and vacant areas, as proposed to be planned and properly
designated for post-mining land uses depending on the existing conditions prevailing
at that point of time. While for OB dumps and acquired forest areas, vegetation and
afforestation has been proposed as a final land use. While agriculture may be the
best land use, if feasible, and if it is supported by some irrigation facilities.

18.5.1SOCIAL ASPECTS:
 Re-deployment of work force.
 Management of community facilities
 Canalization of available water

18.5.2 Re-deployment of work force:

The peak work force required for mine operations is in the first few years of the mine
when construction activities as well as operational activities achieved their peak.
This work force slowly goes down with completion of development and when only the
operational work remains. Again near the end of the mine life, say 4-5 years before
closure, the activity of the mine starts getting reduced and therefore management
gets opportunity to taper the operational manpower. After closure, skeleton service
people are proposed to be left for continuing with the actual closure operations. The
reduction of manpower could be done as per the following options:
 Natural retirement.

Job No. 341121 XVIII-7

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

 Implementation of VRS schemes for age group of +50.

 Retraining and redeployment of younger groups – 40.
 Transfer of experienced middle-aged groups between 40-50 years to other
projects.
Retrenchment of people with suitable compensation after exhausting all the above
options may be considered.

18.5.3 Management of Community Facilities:

The community facilities are proposed to be developed by coal projects for
betterment of the neighboring community. The project management provides or
assists in developing educational facilities, health facilities, community halls and also
some communication facilities. After the mine closure, these facilities are to be
continued for the neighboring communities to the possible extent. The closure plan
will envisage interaction of mining company with the state or local bodies who will
take over these facilities and run the same for the community. The coal companies
towards running these facilities, which is proposed to be taken care of by the
local/state bodies, may make a onetime payment.

18.5.4 Canalization of available water:

If it is found that the mine is having sufficient water and on closure, the mine water
flows into the surface watercourses, canalizing this water for surrounding community
for their irrigational/domestic uses may be taken up.

18.6 FINANCIAL ASPECTS:

 Creation of a corpus fund for the final mine closure

 Cost of progressive closure activities.
 Cost towards organization for executing the closure activities.
 Cost of the post project monitoring
 Bond/insurance for the closure cost

Job No. 341121 XVIII-8

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

Financial Assurance :

As proposed above, many activities are to be undertaken for progressive mine

closure plan concurrently with the mine operation and final closure plan after the
closure of the mine, which naturally will involve expenditure. Some of the closure
activities will, in fact, form part of normal mining operations. However, some activities
are proposed to be addressed only after completion of the coal mining operations.
It is proposed to create a fund for mine closure from the retain earnings of the
project @ Rs. 6 lakhs per hectare of lease hold area. This comes to Rs 15.96 crores
for Option-I & II for the corpus, Apart from this, an amount of Rs 8.22 Crores is
proposed for capital expenditure on HEMM for progressive mine closure activities.
Provision has also been made for corporate social Responsibility as per Coal India
norms. After the completion of the coal mining, an organization consisting of persons
of different disciplines is proposed to be maintained to undertake and implement the
closure activities. The organization may be provided with a vehicle for discharging
day-to-day duties. Maintenance cost of this organization is proposed from the retain
earnings of the project. A small team consisting of 2-3 technical people may be
required to oversee the efficacy of the closure activities. This monitoring may be
conducted for 4-5 years after the mine closure activities.

18.7 Disaster Management Plan & Risk Management :

There are various elements of risks in operation of the mine. They include
following :-
 Slope failure of External OB dump –OB proposed is planned to be
stacked in external dumps having a total height of 80m in three tiers of
30m each. The OB material consists of assorted size of sandstone
fragments, other geological strata and sub-soil. It has to be ensured
that slope of OB Dumps do not fail as it would cause damage to life &
property.

Job No. 341121 XVIII-9

Detailed Project Report for Kuju OCP, CCL CMPDI

 Slope failure of Internal Dump –The slope of the backfilled mass is

dynamic i.e. it moves every day. It has to be ensured that slope of
backfilled mass is safe otherwise it may pose risk to life & property and
interrupt the mining operations.
 Stability of High walls – In course of opencast mining slopes if
created on high wall sides in coal and OB/ interburden formations
unless properly planned, they may fail. It is proposed to undertake
slope stability analysis to avoid slope failure.
 Fire – There may be fire in working, store, industrial installations and
other service building provided for the mine.
 Inundation – The open pit will collect water from direct precipitation
and surface run-off from surrounding areas. This may lead to
inundation of the mine pit.
 Seismic activities – The project is located in low risk seismic zone
area.

Ameliorative Measures

Following ameliorative measures have been envisaged to be taken to

prevent the risks/accidents
- Slope stability analysis is required to be conducted for high wall slopes,
External Dumps and Internal Dump slopes.
- Adequate fire fighting arrangements to be made.
- For preventing mine inundation, sufficient pumping arrangements have
been made to pump out the pit water continuously.
- Garland drains have been proposed around mine pit to intercept
surface run-off.
- Medical facilities – A hospital with necessary infrastructure, doctors and
paramedical staff and ambulance has been proposed to take care of
emergency situation
