COMMUNITY HEALTH
➢ 10.2% (n=69) of the heads of the households and their dependents are diagnosed by a doctor as not healthy
and had one or more problems in the past six months
➢ The commonest health issue is hypertension (5.4%) followed by diabetes mellitus (4.7%), gout (1.9%), arthritis

HYDROLOGY
✓ The process of iron ore mining has been linked to the increase of the frequency of
flash flood in the downstream area.
✓ The changes in topography and land clearing could result in the tremendous
increase in surface runoff
✓ The land clearing and earthwork of the proposed project for the purpose of mining
iron ore may expose the large tract of bare soil to erosion.
✓ Clearing of vegetation from riverbanks will leave the area and river unprotected
from erosion and sedimentation respectively. Causing a decrease in water quality
through the loss of filtration effects.
✓ Clearing also leads to loss of critical species habitat. A river buffer zone gazetted
by JPS will be kept along the rivers.streams.

SUMMARY
WATER QUALITY
✓ Water quality in mines is indirectly affected by soil erosions that carry sediments
and these are not controlled or managed well.
✓ Release of sediments into rivers will impact the water quality: turbidity, total
suspended solids and mineral contaminants.
✓ Fine silt increases the suspended solid and turbidity of the water bodies and can
be detrimental to aquatic life
✓ The use of machinery and equipment on site may lead to water pollution through
leakage of oil, grease and fuel into water courses.
GROUNDWATER
✓ A land clearing may potentially result in change onto groundwater recharge
behaviour to an area.
✓ significant land clearing may enhance surface runoff and subsequently may cause
water impoundment or flooding on area of low in elevation, low permeability and
shallow in groundwater levels
✓ Excavation of the ground in mining operation will be essentially result in a certain
extent of modification to ground condition of the site and working areas in
particular
✓ Potential groundwater contamination and contaminant movement
AIR QUALITY
✓ Sources of air pollution in mines are the ore excavation, ore haulage and ore
processing.
✓ Elevation, wind directional and wind speed greatly influence the dispersion of air
pollutants with hotspot mainly lying downwind of the dominant wind directions.

SUMMARY
MITIGATION MEASURES
HYDROLOGY
✓ Build detention ponds to provide temporary storage for the excess runoff
during storm event
✓ Build sufficient diversion and earth drains and other BMPs on site to direct the
surface runoff flows within the site to the silt trap.
✓ Continuous monitoring and maintenance of all the BMPs and take immediate
action on any non compliance
✓ Enough storage volume within the ponds should be provided in order to control
of 50 year ARI
✓ More erosion prone development activities like site clearing and removal of
overburden should be scheduled for the drier period of the year when the
rainfall erosive would be lower.
✓ Maintenance of drainage system shall be regularly carried out. Re-design or
add on number of drainages shall be considered from time to time viewing
to the current situation;
✓ Maintenance of drainage system

shall be regularly carried out. Re-design or
add on number of drainages shall be considered from time to time viewing

✓ The staging of the Project will help to reduce potential soil erosion and the
resultant sediment pollution; and
✓ Monitoring of water quality – The project Proponent must also monitor the
water quality at the point of discharge from the Project site to ensure that
the water is of an acceptable quality.

✓ Vegetation shall be retained and protected wherever possible and removed
vegetation must be stacked to acts as natural filter to surface runoff.
✓ Minimize earthwork operations during periods of high rainfall
✓ Provision of sufficient tailings ponding area
✓ Zero discharge of tailing pond must be implemented during mining
operational stage.
✓ To include emergency responses procedure in case of tailing pond
outburst/overflow.
✓ To inform DOE any tailing pond outburst/overflow immediately.
✓ To include a "Riparian Monitoring Program" as part of the EMP. Entails
