The process of obtaining environmental clearance for dump mining in Goa will now come at a cost of Rs 4 lakh per 100 hectares. This decision has been made by the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) for mining projects, aiming to regulate and monitor mining activities in the region. Dump mining involves extracting ore from the waste material generated from past mining operations. This move is expected to bring more transparency and accountability to the mining industry in Goa, which has been marred by controversies in the past. The EAC has set this fee structure to ensure that companies adhere to environmental regulations and mitigate any potential negative impact on the environment. With this new cost in place, mining companies will have to factor in the additional expense when applying for environmental clearances for dump mining projects. This development highlights the government’s commitment to sustainable mining practices and environmental conservation in the region. It also signals a shift towards more stringent regulations in the mining sector, aimed at protecting Goa’s fragile ecosystem. The decision by the EAC is likely to have a significant impact on the mining industry in the state and could pave the way for more responsible mining practices in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
