Abstract
Environments are at present facing hazard because of different reasons. One such reason is the mining activities. It has many bad impacts on the environment like human health, air, water bodies and wildlife habitat. Singrauli Coalfield is extend transversely the districts of Singrauli (Sidhi) and Sonebhadra in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, generally in the basin of the Son River. The Singrauli Coal field, particularly surface mining requires large areas of land to be temporarily disturbed. This raises a number of environmental challenges, including soil erosion, dust, noise and water pollution, and impacts on local biodiversity. Steps are taken in modern mining operations such as reduce water pollution through clean runoff, reduce air pollution through used of wet drilling to minimize impacts on all basic aspects of the environment. Mine reclamation activities are undertaken gradually – with the shaping and contouring of spoil piles, replacement of topsoil, seeding with grasses and planting of trees taking place on the mined-out areas. Care is taken to relocate streams, wildlife, and other valuable resources. Where the mining is underground, the surface area can be simultaneously used for other uses such as forests, cattle grazing and growing crops - with little of no disruption to the existing land use.
