CHAPTER-V FINAL MINE CLOSURE PLAN
5.1.1 Mined-Out Land: The proposals may be supported with yearly plans
and sections
depicting yearly progress in the activities for land restoration/

reclamation/rehabilitation, afforestation etc., called “Reclamation Plan”.

5.1.2 Safety and Security i.e., Securing the Excavations/ pits/
Underground
Openings/ Mineralized Dumps or Mineral Rejects stacks/ Fines stack/
Tailings or Slimes stacks: The lessee should ensure fencing of any
excavation

endangering fall of persons/cattle etc. in terms of Rule 26 of MCDR?2017.

(Grid reference to be mentioned)
5.1.3 Afforestation: Existing afforestation details shall be furnished
alongwith
proposals on Virgin area, Backfilled area, Dump plantation and plantation
on
ultimate benches indicating area and number of saplings.
(Grid reference to be mentioned)
5.1.4 Topsoil Management: No unstabilized stacks of topsoil should be
left at the expiry
of lease period. (Either the generated topsoil should be utilized or the
stacks
should be stabilized and secured.)
(Grid reference to be mentioned for storage)
5.1.5 Water Quality Management: In case of proposal for conversion of
mined out pit
into a water reservoir/ Pisciculture purpose (for completely exhausted
part),
dimension of the pit(s) alongwith capacity should be furnished in tabular
form for
IBM Manual for FMCP 2018 Page 25
each pit and such excavations should be fenced to avoid any danger to
public
safety. Proposal for conversion of mined out pit into water reservoir/
Pisciculture
should be suitably supported by a brief calculation for accumulation of
water into
the pit considering average rainfall in the area, catchment area, drainage
direction

etc. justifying the capacity of the reservoir and suitability for Pisciculture.
(Location of monitoring stations to be given)
5.1.6 Air Quality Management:
(Location of monitoring stations to be given)
5.1.7 Waste Management:
(Grid reference to be mentioned)
5.1.8 Tailings Dam Management:
(Grid reference to be mentioned)
5.1.9 Surface subsidence mitigation measures through backfilling of
underground mine
voids or by any other means and its monitoring mechanism.
(Grid reference to be mentioned)
5.1.10 A brief about surface features existing within a periphery of 500 m
from the lease
boundary as per the Rule 32(5)(b) of MCDR?2017.
5.1.11 Infrastructure Details:
An account of infrastructural facilities available in the ML area should be
given in

tabular format indicating its details. Any infrastructural facility which is an

essential commodity/related to basic need or which absence may cause
any
degradation of environment or any damage to flora and fauna in and
around the
ML area or any danger to public safety or public infrastructure like rail,
road etc.
shall not be decommissioned (dismantling water supply, water treatment
plant,
power lines etc.) without prior intimation/approval of appropriate
authority.
5.1.12 Disposal of Mining Machinery:
Note: With reference to the extent of mechanization given in the
„Mining? chapter of
Approved Mining Plan.
5.1.13 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment:
5.1.14 Economic Repercussions of closure of mine and manpower
