SALIENT FEATURES

INTRODUCTION

Dulanga Block was allocated to NTPC under Captive mode. It is located in the Ib Valley Coalfield lying in the south eastern extremity of NW-SE trending master basin belt of Sone Mahanadi valley. The block falls in Sundergarh district of Odisha state. This block is contiguous to Manoharpur block which is owned by OCPL in the North West side.

Dulanga coal block is about 55 km South-West from of Sundargarh District headquarters and about 10 Km North-West of Jharsuguda District headquarters. It is connected by Tar Road with Hemgir – Jharsuguda national highway. The nearest rail head is Hemgir Railway Station at a distance of about 28 Km.

The topography of the block is highly undulating and rugged in nature. Central and southern parts of the area are marked by higher elevation exhibiting hillocks and ridges whereas eastern side of the block is more or less flat in nature. Drainage of the block is mainly controlled by Garia Nala, Baidhara Nala and Nala- B.

Revised Mining Plan and Mine Closure Plan of Dulanga block is already approved by Ministry of Coal for a targeted capacity of 7 MTPA. Environment Clearance has been been accorded by MoEF, Stage-I & Stage –II Forest clearance has been granted by MoEF and Consent to Establish has also been issued by Odisha Pollution Control Board. Notifications under CBA Act & part notification under LA Act for acquisition of land have been completed.

GEOLOGY

Total area of Dulanga coal block is 654.11 ha. General geology displays complete sequence of Lower Gondwana rocks from Talchir to Kamthi. General strike of the beds varies from N20°W-S20°E to N40°W-S40°E with southwesterly 5° to 10° dip. The block is free from major tectonic disturbances but one of the strike fault namely F1 - F1 as deciphered from the subsurface data, divides the block into two unequal parts. Besides this two more faults of F2 - F2 & F3 – F3 are of very small magnitude.

Detail exploration in Dulanga Block has revealed the presence of coal bearing horizons belonging to Karharbari & Barakar Formations. However, major part of the economic coal resources is confined to Barakar only. Three major coal seams occur in this block viz. Parkhani, Lajkura and Rampur, in descending order. In Karharbari Formation very thin coal bands are seen with no economic potentiality in the block.

Total estimated mineable reserves within the block is 152.05 Million Tonnes and corresponding total overburden/ interburden is estimated as 394 million cubic meters. Strip ratio worked out as 2.59 m³/t.
