(Coal+OB) per year based on satellite data on regular basis at an interval of three years. 2.0 Objective Objective of the land restoration / reclamation monitoring is to assess the area of backfilled, plantation, social forestry, active mining area, water bodies, and distribution of wasteland, agricultural land and forest in the leasehold area of the project. This will help in assessing the progressive status of mined land reclamation and to take up remedial measures, if any, required for environmental protection. 3.0 Salient Findings Out of the total mine leasehold area of Ha. of the 12 opencast projects of WCL viz. Inder UG to OC,Kamptee UG to OC,Navin Kunada, Shivpuri Pauni Expn OC,HLOCM, Ghorawari,Dhorwasa, Damua, Barkui, MKD-1 and Ambara considered for monitoring during ; total excavated area is Ha (29.67%) of which Ha. area (34.78%)has been planted, Ha. area (39.38%) is under backfilling and Ha. area (25.85%) is under active mining.

9 1.0 Background 1.1 Land is the most important natural resource which embodies soil, water, flora and fauna and total ecosystem. All human activities are based on the land which is most scarce natural resource in our country. Mining is a site specific industry and it could not be shifted anywhere else from the location where mineral occurs. It is a fact that surface mining activities do effect the land environment due to ground breaking. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reclaim and restore the mined out land for its productive use for sustainable development of mining. This will not only mitigate environmental degradation, but would also help in creating a more congenial environment for land acquisition by coal companies in future. 1.2 Keeping above in view, Coal India Ltd. (CIL) issued a work order vide letter no. CIL/WBP/Env/2009/2428 dated to Central Mine Planning & Design Institute (CMPDI), Ranchi, which has well a equipped remote sensing facility and capability to monitor the status of land reclamation for all the opencast coal mines having production of more than 5 million cu. m. per annum (coal + OB taken together) based on remote sensing satellite data, regularly on annual basis for sustainable development of mining operation within command area of CIL and its subsidiaries. Further, the opencast coal mining project of less than 5 million cu.m per annum capacity (Coal +OB) is also under satellite monitoring from the year 2011 at interval of three years. As per work order no CIL/WBP/Env/2009/2428 dated of CIL,the result of land reclamation status of all such mines to be put on the website of CIL, ( CMPDI ( and the concerned coal companies in public domain. Detail report to be submitted to Coal India and respective subsidiaries. 1.3 Land reclamation monitoring of all opencast coal mining projects would also comply the statutory requirements of Ministry of Environment & Forest (MoEF).Such monitoring would not only facilitate in taking timely mitigation measures against environmental degradation, but Job No /(WCL) 1

10 would also enable coal companies to utilize the reclaimed land for larger socio-economic benefits in a planned way. 1.4 Present report is embodying the finding of the study based on satellite data of the year 2012 carried out of 12 OC projects producing less than 5 million cu.m. of (coal+ob) for Western Coalfields Ltd. 2.0 Objective Objective of the land reclamation/restoration monitoring is to assess the area of backfilled, plantation, OB dumps, social forestry, active mining area, settlements and water bodies, distribution of wasteland, agricultural land and forest land in the leasehold area of the project. This is an important step taken up for assessing the progressive status of mined land reclamation and for taking up remedial measures, if any, required for environmental protection. 3.0 Methodology There are number of steps involved between raw satellite data procurement and preparation of final map. National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) Hyderabad, being the nodal agency for satellite data supply in India, provides only raw digital satellite data, which needs further digital image processing for extracting the information and map preparation before uploading the same in the website. Methodology for land reclamation monitoring is given in given in Fig 2. Following steps are involved in land reclamation /restoration monitoring: Job No /(WCL) 2

11 Figure: 2 Methodology for Land Reclamation Monitoring 3.1 Data Procurement: After browsing the data quality and date of pass on internet, supply order for data is placed to NRSC. Secondary data like leasehold boundary, topo sheets are procured for creation of vector database. 3.2 Satellite Data Processing: Satellite data are processed using PCI GEOMATICA / ERDAS IMAGINE 2013digital image processing s/w. Methodology involves the following major steps: Rectification & Geo-referencing: Inaccuracies in digital imagery may occur due to systematic errors attributed to earth curvature and rotation as well as non-systematic errors attributed to satellite receiving station itself. Raw digital images contain geometric distortions, which make them unusable as maps. Therefore, georeferencing is required for correction of image data using ground control points (GCP) to make it compatible to SoI topo sheet. Job No /(WCL) 3

12 Image enhancement: To improve the interpretability of the raw data, image enhancement is necessary. Local operations modify the value of each pixel based on brightness value of neighbouring pixels using PCI Geomatica / ERDAS IMAGINE 2013s/w. and enhance the image quality for interpretation. Training set selection Training set requires to be selected, so that software can classify the image data accurately. The image data are analysed based on the interpretation keys. These keys are evolved from certain fundamental image-elements such as tone/colour, size, shape, texture, pattern, location, association and shadow. Based on the imageelements and other geo-technical elements like land form, drainage pattern and physiography; training sets were selected/identified for each land use/cover class. Field survey was carried out by taking selective traverses in order to collect the ground information (or reference data) so that training sets are selected accurately in the image. This was intended to serve as an aid for classification. Classification and Accuracy assessment Image classification is carried out using the maximum likelihood algorithm. The classification proceeds through the following steps: (a) calculation of statistics [i.e. signature generation] for the identified training areas, and (b) the decision boundary of maximum probability based on the mean vector, variance, covariance and correlation matrix of the pixels. After evaluating the statistical parameters of the training sets, reliability test of training sets is conducted by measuring the statistical separation between the classes that resulted from computing divergence matrix. The overall accuracy of the classification was finally assessed with reference to ground truth data. Area calculation The area of each land use class in the leasehold is determined using PCI Geomatica v10.1 / ERDAS IMAGINE v software. Job No /(WCL) 4

13 Overlay of Vector data base Vector data base created based on secondary data. Vector layer like drainage, railway line, leasehold boundary, forest boundary etc. are superimposed on the image as vector layer in the Arc GIS database. Pre-field map preparation Pre-field map is prepared for validation of the classification result 3.3 Ground Truthing: Selective ground verification of the land use classes are carried out in the field and necessary corrections if required, are incorporated before map finalization. 3.4 Land reclamation database on GIS: Land reclamation database is created on GIS platform to identify the temporal changes identified from satellite data of different cut-of dates.

Land reclamation monitoring will be carried out regularly on annual basis to assess the progressive status of land restoration / reclamation in the above opencast mines. The report of this study has been uploaded on the website of CMPDI & CIL in public domain. 5.0 Land Reclamation Status in Western coalfields Ltd. 5.1 Following 12 opencast projects of WCL producing less than 5 million cubic m.
