Per shift - 930 tonnes
Operating shift per day - 930 x 1 = 930 tonnes
No. of operating days per annum - 300
Annual loading capacity of excavator - 300 x 930 = 279000 tonnes = 2.79 lac tonnes
Maximum Sand Stone to be handle per annum - 355000 tonnes or 3.55 Lac tonnes
Therefore no of excavator required for handling the Gitti Patthar Boulder
= 3.55/2.79 = 1.27 Say = 1

Requirement of tippers (35 tonners):
Requirement of tippers for the transport from mine to stack yard, work out as follows:
i) To & fro journey time: from mine area to stack yard.
To & tro journey on 2.0 Km. mine road @ 10 Km/hr = 12 min.
ii) Cycle time of Tippers
Scooping and waiting = 2 min.
Manual loading = 30 min.
To & fro journey = 12 min.
Turning and unloading = 2 min.
Therefore total cycle time = 46.0 min.
Requirement of Tippers:
Gitti to be transported per day = 1183 MT
Cycle time of Tippers = 46.0 min.
Therefore round trips per Tipper per hour = 1183/46 = 25.71 Say = 26
Average load carried per round trip = 35 x 5 = 175
Therefore average carrying capacity per Tippers per shift.
Therefore number of Tippers = 1183/175 = 6.76 Say = 7
Standby dumpers @ 25% = 7 x 0.25 = 1.75
Therefore total requirement of Tippers = 7 + 1.75 = 8.75
Say = 9 Tippers.
Requirement of dumpers is tabulated as below:

Village: Kohadar, Tehsil: Meja,
District: Allahabad (U. P.) Pre- Feasibility Report
5.2 Population Projection:
Manpower required will be engaged from nearby areas. No significant influx of people is anticipated in
the area.
5.3 Land use planning (breakup along with green belt etc.)
The area likely to be degraded due to quarrying, pitting & roads:
The impact on the land form or Physiography will be limited to the modification of the slope. The land
scape and land use will undergo a radical change due to open cast mining. The impact during next five
years is limited as benches will be formed on the already degraded land. Besides these benches, roads will
also modify the Physiography.
The impact on land use will also be limited. The various modifications due to mining allied & activities
during next five years are given below:
Activity Area Occupied (Ha.)
During next five years
At the end of conceptual
period
Mining and Existing pits 1.62 1.62
Waste dumps Nil Nil
Road Nil Nil
Infrastructure facilities Nil Nil
Afforestation Nil Nil
Balance undisturbed land 0.40 0.40
Total 2.02 2.02
Note: The applied area is too small & entire applied area has been degraded by mining pits. Mining during
plan period and conceptual period shall be carried out within degraded area and no fresh area shall be
disturbed. Therefore, the broken area will be same as an end of plan period and end of conceptual period
except depth of quarry.
5.4 Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (Physical & Social)
Temporary office and stores will be provided in the mining area. Specified first-aid box with all necessary
facilities will be maintained at the site office. Communication services like post office and telephones are
available in the nearby village. Some of the villagers are having mobile phones.
5.5 Amenities/Facilities
Additional facilities will be made as per the requirement. Arrangements for safe and healthy working
conditions. Provision of Drinking water from nearby villages or through tankers in dry period.
Transport of Men and Material:
Workers from nearby villages will be engaged for mining and transportation purposes. They will come for
work on foot. The material from the mine will be transported by trucks / dumpers.

6. Proposed Infrastructure
6.1 Industrial Area (Processing Area)
No infrastructure is proposed.
6.2 Residential Area (Non Processing Area)
As local workers from nearby areas will be engaged for the mining activity, no residential area/ housing
are proposed.
6.3 Green Belt/Afforestation:
The lease area is marked by large exposure of barren land. The lease area is rocky terrain so it is not
feasible to undertake the plantation with in lease hold. The plantation will be undertaken outside the lease
area.In every year about 50m length and 7.5 m width of buffer zone will be planted on side of the area.
About 15 saplings consisting of Ficus religosa (pipal), Boswellia serrata (Salai), Shorea robusta (sal) and
tactone grandis (teak) Mangifera indica (Aam), Emblica officinalis (Anwala), Aegle marmerlos (Ibei) etc.
will be planted per year over an area of 50 m x 7.5 m grid interval. The plantation raised earlier should be
carefully maintained. Mortalities should be replaced by fresh planting.
Post Plantation Care:
Following precaution to be undertaken for survival of plants:
i) The samplings will be undertaken for survival of plants.
ii) Plants will be taken care by applying fertilizers and proper wedding etc.
iii) Healthy tree species will be recommends for plantation.
iv) Fatal saplings will be replaced with new healthy saplings.
v) Every saplings will be covered by tree guard to avoid damage through cattle grazing.
vi) A Gardner or mazdoor should be employed for care.
vii) Necessary arrangement will be provided for watering tree species planted at different
parts.
6.4 Social Infrastructure:
Physical & Social Infrastructure is provided, and if necessary other facilities will also be provided by
mine’s proponent.
6.5 Connectivity:

9.0 Analysis of proposal (Final Recommendations)
There will be direct and indirect employment at the first instance. The employment will be given to
locals.
Further, the share of indirect employment like increased purchasing power, dhabas and retail shops
etc. is largely shared by local residents.
The most important aspect of the project is the land under mining is almost rocky and barren and not
providing any income to the owner, implying that there will be no significant impact on the
livelihood of residents.
Finally, all aggregate will be used in construction of road, which otherwise is a contribution towards
building nation.
9.1 Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people including
tribal population, If any, In the area
No tribal population is residing in the study area. There will be social benefits from the mining
operations. The core benefit of the proposed expansion is the availability of stone in construction
industries.
10.0 CONCLUSION
It is predicted that socio-economic impact due to this project will positively increase the chance of
more employment opportunities for local inhabitants. There are no Resettlement and Rehabilitation

issues involved in this project. The project infrastructures will be of use to people of the area. The
revenue of the State Govt. will be definitely increasing due to the proposed activity. The entire
project area is devoid of any endangered flora and fauna. It is proposed to reclaim the land and
develop green cover for eco-restoration with native species to a maximum possible extent. Thus
the proposed project is not likely to affect the environment or adjacent ecosystem adversely.
