Abstract
Mining is widely considered as having adverse effects on environment both in magnitude and diversity. Some of these effects include erosion, formation of sinkhole, biodiversity loss and contamination of groundwater by chemical from the mining process in general and open cast mining in particular. As such, a repeatable process to evaluate these effects primarily aims to diminish them.
The environmental components can be defined as public health and safety, social relationships, air and water quality, flora and fauna hence, various impacting factors from the mining activities were estimated for each environmental component.
There is an Open cast Iron Ore mine in district Bhilwara. It is located near Pur-Banera village, tehsil Mandal, district Bhilwara. The impact of this mine activities on environment and surrounding villages is hazardous but as per economical it is faithful for us.
The working mine of iron ore deposit is well knows that how to minimize the damages on environment. The mine owner doing all the management for protecting environment and for the development of the villages i.e. subsidence control, air pollution control, water pollution control, noise control, biological management, top soil management, management of area reclamation and rehabilitation, management of dumps, management of flora and fauna, and also mitigation against population growth, socio-economic benefits, funds for environment protection, and monitoring schedule.
As we all know that plantation is very helpful to reduce air and noise pollution. So that Plantation is going on simultaneously with mining activities in the surrounding areas by the mine owner like both side of the mine road, nearby villages- Suras, Dhoolkhera, Tiranga & Dhedwas etc.
The exploitation of a mineral in an unorganized manner cannot be termed mining, it is simply quarrying. The mining required systematic and organized work of exploitation of mineral and all related aspects, with proper usage of science and technology.
