indiaa, a world famous and popular tourist destination in India, comprise of more than 100km long coast
where approximately 70km comprise of sandy beaches. Present case study on innumerable iron and
manganese ore mines in Goa, offer the opportunity to learn the effectiveness and implementation of Indian
Environmental (Protection) Rules, 1986 and Environmental Impact Assessment Notification 2006
(procedures applicable to obtain Environmental Clearance for new projects and expansion of existing
projects) and Costal regulation Zone (CRZ) legislation of India. Mine owners, generally operate legally after
procuring Environmental Clearance from Ministry of Environment & Forest, India and the possibility exist
that many mine owners or small scale ore producers, operate illegally i.e. without obtaining environmental
clearances or even after expiry of environmental clearance time period. Goa, is identified by sandy stretches
and complex network of water bodies across plain land, where, legal and illegal, unquantifiable excavation
of iron and manganese ore and depletion of forest land may cause devastation due to inundation,
underground water profile damage etc. Due to these large scale operations, 70km long Goan sea coast may
be completely destroyed or inundate, even before the envisaged rise of sea level due to climate change!
Today, when climate change is taking place at faster rate than expected, this kind of operations should be
monitored and stopped to the possible extent, so that natural resources depletion and land degradation will
be restricted.
