Recent Updates in Environmental Impact Assessment Policies for Mining of Minor Minerals

The recent amendments in environmental impact assessment policies mandate environmental clearance (EC) for mining of minor minerals in areas equal to or less than five hectares. District Expert Appraisal Committees (DEAC) and District Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) have been established to evaluate EC proposals for small-scale leases and clusters of small leases. Additionally, DEIAA is required to prepare Environment Supplement Plans (ESP) for projects that have started construction activities and expansions without undergoing an EIA process.
