3.0 GEOLOGY 3.1. Brief description of Topography

The area is characterized with flat land with general elevation 3.0mtr above the ground level. The highest elevation in the lease area is 318 meter. And the lowest RL achieved is 312 meter. With respective Mean Sea Level. The slopes are moderate and general slope direction is towards West direction. Lease area is almost flat topped Plateau with an elevation of 3.0m above the general ground level and Basalt body is trend in N–S direction. The drainage pattern is dendritic. Drainage density is moderate, There is an old pit in Sy.No. 453 length of pit is 202 mtr width of pit is 60 mtr with average depth around 3.0 -7.0 mtr.

3.2. Regional Geology: Deccan trap encompasses major parts of Maharashtra state. Deccan

trap belongs to Upper Cretaceous to Eocean in age. An array of Deccan trap exist, they are frequently weathered leading to formation of Murom, rubbles and clayey and black cotton soil. The Basalt rock is of varying composition, their flow beds are together known as Deccan trap, The Igneous activity during upper Cretaceous period released tremendous outburst of volcanic energy resulting in the eruption of thick series of lava and associated pyroclastic materials lava flows called as Basalt is a significant event in the evolution of the Deccan Plateau. The Basalt rock is the solidified lava flow of Upper cretaceous to eocean period, the Basalt outcrop runs for nearly 800km towards the coast of Mumbai. This portion is tail end of Basaltic lava flows in Vidharba towards east and south east. Stratigraphical Sequence of the Area Recent - Alluvium and Black cotton Soil Upper Cretaceous - Deccan Trap Basalt flow Rock, Younger Intrusive. To Eocene Cretaceous - Lameta - Sand stone and Shale.

3.3 Local Geology: The General trend of Basalt is in N-S direction with gentle slope

towards SE and NW direction. Basalt Beds are almost flat with gentle slope. The Mining lease area represents the eastern extrusion of Deccan Basalt terrain. During field studies outcrop of rocks were noticed in the mining lease area which has signifying presence of Basalt lava flows. There is no major structural deformation, shear zone or fault zone within the mining lease area. Irregular fractures and columnar joints and flow beds from few cm too few meter thickness were noticed within the outcrop of the Basalt rock. Mining lease consisting of a flat land trending in N-S direction. The Basalt rock is exposed 2.0 meter below the surface in adjacent quarry to Sy.No.453, has fine grained Aphanitic texture. Basalt rock is mainly composed of Plagioclase Feldspar, Muscovite, Biotite, Amphibole, and Pyroxene & Quartz as principle mineral constituents. Since it is a surface formation, speroidal weathering is seen on rock cover which is occupied up to 3.0 meters on the flow rock. Rock


is grayish to black in color with siliceous to earthy luster. On weathering form’s rounded rubble, murroom & black cotton soil. Rock Properties a) Texture and grain size : Fine grained massive Basalt rock b) Color : Black, Grayish c) Hardness : 4.0 on Moho’s scale d) Mineralogy : Plagioclase Feldspar, Pyroxene & Amphiboles, Mica Quartz, etc e) Density/Specific gravity : 2.6 to 2.7

f) Porosity : 0.1 to 0.2 g) Abrasiveness : Good h) Permeability : 0.02% g) Rock Quality Designation : RQD 90 to 100% Excellent

4.0 EXPLORATION: A surface geological map is prepared after conducting the detailed

field studies & surface Geological mapping. Based on field observations in the old pit & adjacent pit, and Basalt rock exposed in the mining pit, from the Geology of the area and depth of occurrences in the surrounding area, the Basalt rock has its extension in depth up to more than 30meters below the current depth of mining. The depth persistence is also confirmed by the exposure of rock in the adjacent mining pit nearby.

4.1 Proposed Exploration: Adjacent stone quarry pit & old pit in Sy.No. 453, confirms the depth up to 7.0mtr from the top RL 320 mtr to 315mtr. As it is known from the surrounding area, the depth persistence of Basalt rock is more than 30meter in this region depth continuity is proved by bore hole dug for drinking water up to the depth of 30mtr, and also by adjacent mining pit of hence it is proved that depth persistence of Basalt rock is more than 30 meters in the subject area. Hence no exploration is proposed.

5.0 GEOLOGICAL INSITU RESERVES: The following Parameters have been considered in estimating the

Geological reserves of Basalt i) Cross sectional Area of Basalt Formation - CSA m2 ii) Distance of Influence of cross section line – di m iii) Brass Conversion Factor BF -2.83

To estimate reserves formula applied is as under Reserves in Brass = CSA m2 x di (m) x BF 2.83 Reserves of Murom in Brass

= C S Area m2 X di X B F 2.83

Cross sections along Cross section lines A’-A’’ & B’-B’’ two cross section lines at interval of 155 mtr, & 151meter, all the reserves computed by using the above formula are added together to give us the total Geological reserves in brass. Total Geological Reserves = Proved reserves + Probable reserves + Inferred reserves.


In order to cross check the accuracy of figures reserves are back calculated using the formula as below.

Please Refer annexure VI for Geological reserves estimation

From the field observations of pit in survey No.453 it is noticed that the rock is having good exposures and indicating the presence of Basalt rock. Based on the field study and observations in pit and bore hole data, we considered up to 15m depth as Proved reserves. The reserves are calculated under three categories, Proved reserve 111- UNFC, Probable UNFC-222 and UNFC- 333 inferred reserves, from the bottom of Proved zone, a 5m depth is considered for Probable reserves. Finally, a 5m zone below that of probable category-122 is considered for estimation of inferred category-333 of reserves. The sum of proved and probable reserves is included under demonstrated reserves. The zones of reserves are depicted in geological cross sections that have been drawn across the trend of Basalt exposed, at 155 mtr, 151 mtr interval viz., A’-A’, B’-B’’ (Ref. Plate Nos. 3 and 4) The cross sectional area of each category of reserves have been measured and the volume of the geological reserves arrived by multiplying the sectional area with the influence of each cross section. From the experience of actual mining, all the rock available does not possess the required quality for using as raw material out of total excavation, 90% of the material can be considered as prime product and remaining 10% will be the waste or OB. Therefore, the volume of rock is multiplied with a recovery factor of 90% to obtain the geological reserves & the balance 10% termed as intercalated waste. The details of Basalt reserves calculation have been given vide Annexure – II and summarized as below.

Categorization of Reserves as Per UNFC Code: The UNFC( United Nations Frame work Classification) of minerals resources consists of three dimensional axes: i) Geological Assessment of Reserves

ii) Feasibility Assessment of Reserves iii) Economic viability Reserves

It is the three digit code based system in which Geological assessment represents first digit ,the feasibility axis represents the second digit and the economic viability representing the third digit, field guidelines for adoption of UNFC code for the above mentioned three axis have been spelled out in MCDR for different type of mineral deposits .


i. Geological Assessment of Reserves Geological mapping has been done on 1:1000 scale and detailed topographical studies and Geological map has been prepared involving all surface Geological features extent and nature of deposit is also considered including size and depth extension of basalt deposit as evident in the area have been considered from the data collected and reserves have been estimated considering only proved reserves. ii. Feasibility Assessment of Reserves Basalt rock is used in infrastructure development, buildings & roads is in demand because of its quality and durability to sustain the wear and tear for longer duration .The metal from this area is easily marketable and the area is approachable throughout the year in all season, availability of labors from nearby villages creating employment opportunities to locals as well. iii. Economic Viability of Reserves The area is approachable by all season tar road from Taluka & District headquarter, is well connected from these township. The reserves of the area are economically viable as it is outcropping on the surface at some places & less overburden to ore stripping ratio. Overburden and weathered & rejections are salable as murrom & tar road crushed sand for finishing and for brick industries. Total mineable reserves of basalt in different categories of UNFC code as above.

MINEABLE RESERVES: The Mineable reserves are those which can be technically mined

following the existing statutory provisions and technical inputs. Therefore, mineable reserves have been computed with the help of Cross section maps drawn on cross section lines A’-A’’, B’-B”with the distance of influence as 155mtr for Cross section line A’-A’’, 151 mtr B’-B’’. Keeping in view the above criteria and marketability of particular size and texture. The mineable


reserves are estimated to the depth of 20 meter. In this mine the reserves are blocked under the 7.5 meter safety zone area. The minable reserves are calculated considering this area as blocked area and cross sectional area are summarized as per the figures obtained from AUTO-CAD software, details are as given in the abstract below. Considering the area of influence method with distance of influence along section line A’-A’’ 155- mtr , B’-B’’- 151 mtr. Cross sectional area values are multiplied by the Distance of Influence and the figures are arrived.

6.0 MINING:

The Basalt deposit is well exposed on the surface. In view of this, the deposit will be worked by open cast mining method to achieve the required amount of production. The applicant is well experienced and having adequate machinery and man power to undertake the mining operations. Mining will generate employment potential to local villagers, thus improve the earning’s and standard of living for local people.

6.1 Proposed Method of Mining: As the Basalt rock is a surface formation it is proposed to undertake the

mining operations by opencast mining method. Basalt rock is well exposed in some places. Top soil & Murom of 2.0 meter thickness & weathered Basalt boulders of 3.0mtr thickness will be excavated to reach the Basalt rock deposit.

The benches of 3.0mtr height and 3.0mtr width are made using drilling and blasting procedure. Mild blasting will be done using jack hammer hole by tractor mounted compressor and blasting will be done by using emulsion explosives of small diameter emulsion/ slurry cartridges along with detonators. Average pit slope is maintained at 45° angle and the roads are prepared with the profile of 1:16 the road will prepared from the N corner to approach the mining pit at the deeper depth. The pit length after fifth year will be extended to mtr in length width will be varying from meter.

Extent of Mechanization: As mining is proposed to be done by manual opencast mining method

for this Small B2 Category of mine/quarry only drilling and blasting & loading is done by mechanically by the use of hydraulic excavators & hydraulic trippers & tractors. Drilling and blasting will be done by Jack hammer with the use of Jack hammers drill and compressor of specific capacity blasting will be done by using electrical or conventional detonating fuse. Mechanization is restricted to use of drilling of shot holes for blasting which would be carried out by hiring licensing agency, otherwise all the operation will be done manual method only.

b) Quantum of Excavation (OB & Basalt Aggregate): Total amount of excavation during entire plan period is Basalt 56148

Brass. And it is proposed to achieve by forming total 5 benches with 202 m length and 3m width. Anticipating 90% recovery total 50533 Brass of recoverable Basalt, 5615 Brass of overburden/ intercalated waste, top soil & Murom of 7385 M3 will be handled.

c) Crushing, Screening, Sizing of Aggregate: The sized boulders of 0.5mtr to 0.75 meter will be fed to the stone

crushing plant of specific capacity installed adjacent to the lease area. The crushed sizes will be from +10mm to 40mm depending on the requirement of the clients. The suitable size of feeder hopper is also being established at the beneficiation plant. The screens of all the specific sizes are established along with the belt conveyer systems. The stacks of different sizes aggregate are made ready for final dispatch from the beneficiation site by road to the clients in nearby town and villages. The 10 to 15% of > 5mm fines generated during crushing will be utilized by cement bricks manufacturing units nearby and by hot mix plants for roads. Thus material is used effectively for different purposes facilitating eco-friendly mining.


7.0 SCHEME OF WASTE MANAGEMENT (SOLID & LIQUID) i. Solid Waste:

Mining operations are envisioned to produce the crushed Basalt for infrastructural engineering works. Generation of waste is very minimal as small boulders can also be utilized to produce crushed Basalt. This consist mainly weathered material and 2.0 meter of top soil & Murom cover. Soil component is minimal and this will be used for the plantation purpose. Dumping proposals are suggested in 7.5mtr zone, 90% of the material excavated from the mining lease will be used effectively for different purposes. Top soil and Murom will be used for backfilling the pit excavated after achieving the ultimate pit bottom in future the top soil will be stacked separately in 7.5 meter safety zone and phase wise plantation will be carried out during entire plan period. Dump Management:

The OB mined out will be stacked in 7.5mtr Safety zone and dump will be on the height of 2 to 3.0 meter with gental slope of 1: 20 along the slope so that the loose muck is not drained away by rain water in rainy season. The garland drains will be cleaned before each monsoon season so that the drainage and flow of rain water percolation through the OB layer so that it would support the vegetation by capillary action. The outer edge of all these dumps will be stabilized on the top by dressing, these dumps will be covered on the top by 0.5mtr topsoil which is stacked up separately for plantation to be done after stabilization, and Plantation will be done in conceptual period. Pit thus formed will be land scapped and retained as rain water harvesting pit in conceptual period. Use of finer mineral

Small sized waste i.e. less than -5mm size shall be used as a road metal or for tar finishing on asphalt roads & foundation filling and selling to local small scale cements hollow and solid bricks manufacturing units which are coming up in near future. ii. Liquid Waste:

The liquid waste comprises mainly run-off water during the monsoon months from the quarry. The rainwater draining the freshly exposed rock fragments and dust in the mine is susceptible for incorporating suspended solids seepage of water down to the water table may cause pollution in the ground water. To obviate this it is necessary to make the water leaving the mine silt free, by constructing silt settling pit before the main sump area of the mine. Pollution of water due to silt would be very minimal in the mine. The present mine is opened by forming benches which may be given slight tilt so that the rain water during monsoon will drain down leaving the benches dry.


8.0 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN: BASELINE INFORMATION: (i) Existing Land use pattern:

Out of 2.02 Ha, available for mining 1.43 Ha will be utilized for mining, 0.49 Ha will left over for safety zone, 0.10 Ha will be used for internal mine roads.

Water from the above GW1 & GW2 is good and potable drinking water

(ii) Flora and fauna:

Bushy growth is seen in the barren land. Neem & chinch and Palas trees are sporadically seen. The fauna comprises rabbit, snakes and rodents. (iv) Climatic conditions:

The region is characterized by hot and humid climate. Summer months are hot reaching a maximum temperature of 45 ̊C in the month of May. The minimum temperature recorded in winter months is 18 ̊C. The rain fall is contributed by southwest monsoon and the annual Rain fall is around 600-700mm. (v) Public Buildings, Places and Monuments:

No public buildings of importance, places of interest and monuments exist in the area under consideration. (vi) Quality of Air and water:

The air in the region is not polluted as there are no Polluting establishments. The dust generated during the haulage and transportation, crushing will be controlled by spraying water by the water tankers in dry season. The water from dug well and Bore well is potable.

(vii) Whether the area falls under notified area of Water Act, 1974:

No, the lease area does not fall under notified area of water Act, 1974. 8.1 Environmental Impact Assessment Statement:

Any opencast mining project will have impact on the landscape, water regime, water quality, ambient air quality, noise, ground vibration, ecology, worker’s health and other socio-economic conditions in the area.

a) Landscape:

Due to mining operations 2.02 Ha of total land is affected. the mine-spoiled area will be partly stabilized with benching plantation in this five years stage wise after reaching the UPL as discussed in chapter of Progressive mine closer plan. Though during this period the mine will be in developing


stage and working will be above the general groundwater water table level of the surrounding area. Mined out pit will be left over as rain water harvesting pit and water will be used for fisheries and agriculture purpose. b) Water regime:

The impact of mining is not on the ground water. During rainy season some impact due to rain water draining in the freshly exposed mine faces and benches may be silt-laden. This may pollute the surface water. The water will be accumulated in the shallowest part of the mine & will be allowed to settle in the sump of specific capacity to hold the rain water in order to settle the turbid content of water. After settling of the turbid contents the water can be used for sprinkling on the roads during dry seasons this will also help in recharge of aquifers by improving the water table conditions in this region as the area is dry and rocky. c)Water Quality:

There will not be any appreciable change in the surface or ground water quality. d)Ambient air quality:

The proposed mining activity is on small scale. Drilling, movement of machinery and vehicles, loading and unloading operations etc. will contribute dust and the air. Proper water sprinkling will be done on the haulage roads, loading and unloading stations and Mine benches to reduce the dust. If necessary, wet drilling method will be adopted by putting wet gunny bags during drilling. The ambient air quality will be within permissible limits. e)Noise:

The noise generated by the machinery and vehicles besides drilling will be within permissible limits. Ear plugs will be provided to workers to prevent from noise effects. f) Ground vibration:

The detonators will be covered by mud on the working face to prevent air blast and detonators will be covered by soil or drill dust and charge per delay will controlled .Advanced control blasting procedures will be adopted to minimize ground vibrations if required. g) Ecology:

There will not be any significant impact on the ecology of the region because the proposed mining activity will be on limited scale. h) Worker’s Health:

Respirators, Mask, Goggles, Ear-plugs, Safety Shoes and Helmets will be provided to the workers where ever necessary to safe guard their health.

i) Socio-economic conditions:

The Basalt stone mining project will have positive impact on the socio-economic condition of the people in the vicinity due to generation of employment opportunities and basic medical, educational and infrastructure


development of the local area for e.g. market and trade related employment generation which will improve their standard of living as well.

i) Storage and preservation of top soil:

Top soil & Murom which is 2.0 M in thickness will produce in five year Volume of 7385 M3 of Top Soil & Murom, will be recovered and utilized for plantation purpose in safety zone area and for hopper ramp preparation near crushing site, in South east. The plantation will be carried out in phases in the safety zone area after reaching the ultimate pit limit in the Lease period, after stabilizing the benches with 3.0 meter height and width of 3.0mtr depth. As the reserves of Basalt are still available for mining in lease area. Hence the closure of the mine pit will be planned in future plan period.

ii) Aforestation:

Safety zone of the 7.5 mtr zone area will be subjected to forestation. (Ref. Production and Development plan - Plate no. 8 & 9.Both the sides of approach roads to Mining area, a forestation program will be taken up now for dust prevention, thick leafy plantation as recommended by social forestry people will be planted and watered regularly in future, Thus keeping the surrounding environment green during mining period, naturally available species are planted which grow easily in this area thus the surrounding appears green during monsoon & Winter season.

iii) Measure for dust suppression:

Water sprinkling will be done on the haulage roads, loading and unloading stations, mine benches etc. for suppressing dust. Dust masks will be provided to the workers, where ever necessary. iv) Measures for minimizing noise and ground vibration:

The noise levels will be within permissible limits. Ear plugs will be provided to the workers at the drill sites & crusher. Number of delays used for blasting will be well planned so as to reduce the ground vibration and the detonators will be covered by soil reducing the noise due air blast during blasting. If required advanced controlled blasting technique will be implemented. iv) Measures to Control erosion: Basalt roc is a hard and compact & massive formation and hence erosion effects are minimal only loose fragments and clay soil particles will only be drained in to the garland drains prepared at the surface along the safety zone at the top of the quarry these accumulated clay in the drain will be cleaned before start of monsoon. vi) Treatment and disposal of water from the mine:

In the mining lease area generation of silt would be very minimal which may not require any further treatment. The water collected during rainy season can be used for watering the saplings planted for aforestation. The mining pit will be used as rain water harvesting and recharge pit for ground water. As in this region the ground water table is more than 20 meter deep. This pit will serve as recharge pit after the mining is reached to the ultimate pit limit. The silt trap pit will be designed to clear the water of dissolved silt, water collected in the mine sump can be utilized for the spraying of water on mine approach roads to control the dust generated by plying of machineries inside the mine and water if required will be pumped and discharged to the streams downstream side after monsoon period.

a) Reasons for closure:

The progressive mine closure can’t be started in this five plan period as reserves are available still for future plan period. Progressive closure can be done in conceptual period that is future plan period after reaching the ultimate pit limit in the future plan period. Progressive closer can be discussed briefly here the pits in conceptual period will be landscaped to safety conditions of DMGS and with bench height of 3.0 mtr during final


benching with 45° angle pit slope. The overburden if any will be used for leveling the pits and top soil will be used for plantation. b) Statutory obligations:

At present no statutory obligations has been imposed by the Government or any other agency. However, the applicant has applied for environment clearance. Copy of the same is annexed in annexure-IX. If any conditions imposed by the state government authorities during the period of lease, the lessee will hereby undertakes to comply those in the stipulated time frame.

Ramnagar Road, Chandrapur, District.Chandrapur Maharashtra- 442401 Cell no – 91-9422863846, 09844801519.

11.2 – Mine Description: The description relating to Geology, Estimation of reserves, Mining

method and Manpower required and present environment of the area has been furnished in details in the mining plan in detail however, briefly described below,

Basalt stone deposit of area is out cropping as more or less horizontal bands having slight inclination towards North-East & South-West. The angle of dip varies from Horizontal to 5° towards SW & NE. The area is located in the Taluka Umred of Nagpur District having longitudes 79°11’34.5’’to 79°11’45.4”and Latitude 21°00’11.4” to 21°00’14.2” .The area falls in the vicinity of Mauja Panchgaon in Taluka Umred of Nagpur district in the state of Maharashtra. Geologically the area occupies Eocene group of Basalt igneous rock composed essentially of Plagioclase Feldspar and ferromagnesian mineral.

Local Geology: Has been discussed in detail in Chapter of Geology on page no 3.


11.3. Review of implementation of mining plan including five years progressive closure plan.

Implementation of progressive mine closure plan will be done at the end of the fifth year period as simultaneous closer is not recommended as it developing stage, and Basalt reserves will be still existing in mine.

11.4 Closure plan: A) Reclamation and Rehabilitation:

Reclamation and rehabilitation is not recommended in this plan period as reserves will be available for mining and the pit will be in developing stage, However reclamation of mined out is not possible as OB waste that will be generated will be in small quantity. Pit will be land scapped with respect to safety of living beings will be fenced by barbed wire fencing to prevent unauthorized entry and pit will be used as rain water harvesting pit during post mining will be used for irrigation, Pisiculture & Aquaculture .The anticipated land use pattern as envisaged after five years and at the end of conceptual period would be as tabulated below.

Conceptual period Land use Abstract Sr.No. Area to be used for Present in Ha At the end of lease period in Ha

1 Mining pit 1.30 1.30 2 Dumping of waste Nil 0.013 3 Dumping of top soil Nil 0.013 4 Area under storage Nil Nil 5 Road 0.10 0.10 6 Plantation Nil 0.49 7 Safety zone 0.49 0.49 Green belt 8 Others 0.117 Nil

Total Mining Lease Area 2.02 2.02

From the above table it can be seen that at the end of plan period about

1.30 Ha area covered under mining pit, 0.10 Ha road & 0.49 plantations and safety zone and other ancillary operation relating to mining including the area broken by pit after five year.

B) Water Quality Management: (B1) Nature of Water Bodies:

In the proposed lease area there is no stream or nallah or any other kind of water bodies are in existence. During rainy season water from the area drained through the natural course of drainage flowing the slopes. This drainage course is totally seasonal. No other water bodies are in existence. The ground water table in the area is much below i.e. about 50 meters. From the general ground surface. (B2) Protection of water bodies:

Being no surface water bodies are available in the area the question of protection does not arise. In case of ground water the proposed mining operations are much above the static water level in the area at the end of plan period. Thus, groundwater table will not be adversely affected due to mining;


on the contrary the water level in the area may increase due to infiltration of stored rain water in the mine pit during rainy season. The Basalt stone producing from the mine is being sold in processed form of various sizes from +10mm to 40mm sizes hence all this processing is done at the non mining area, there is less chances of pollution of water body’s in the subject mine. B3) Air Quality management:

The proposed mining activity is likely to contribute additional suspended particulate matter (SPM).Dust from mining area sources and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) & hydrocarbons from automobile exhaust.

During the proposed mining activities blasting will be carried out. Basalt Stone is to be transported to the crushing yard located in mining lease of lessee and then directly to the consumers.SPM and NOx emission’s are envisaged during these transportation operations.

NOx emission’s from the vehicular movement on surface would be intermittent it will be instantaneous. Dust rising due to mining operation, which will be carried by winds but proposed plantation, will reduce the speed of the dust. B4) Waste Management:

Type of Overburden and Mineral rejects: The type, quantity and quality of overburden, mineral rejects etc. and the manner of their disposal has been described in the relevant chapters of this plan. Actually no waste material would be generated. B5) Top Soil Management: Top soil cover of 2.0 mtr is existing with 3.0mtr of weathered Basalt. This Top soil & Murom 7385 M3 will be stacked in 7.5 meter safety zone some of the top soil will be used for plantation from first year of plan period and remaining soil out of 7385 M3 will be used in restoring and forestation. The soil will be spread with 0.5meter spread on the final layer at the top to support the vegetation in mine this soil will be mixed with the manure available locally and the leafy waste plant to maintain the humidity and fertility of the top soil.

B6) Tailing Dump Management: As there is crusher installed near the mining area, and the dump is

stacked and dressed properly by furrows at the interval of 2.0mtrs and the slope angle is maintained in 1:16 angle this waste dump will be backfilled after attaining Ultimate pit limit which will be arrived in future plan period.

B7) Infrastructure:

Final disposal of proposed infrastructure does not arise at this stage as the reserves are existing below the Infrastructure and also in the pit & plan will be planned in next plan period in future.


B8) Disposal of Mining Machinery: The question does not arise at this stage.

B9) Safety and Security: During the period under consideration, the surface mining

would be carried out properly and workman like manner and all safety measures as require under MMR 1961 will be taken care of. The applicant has already appointed the persons as watch and ward for safety and security purposes.

B10) Disaster Management and Risk Assessment: All the safety measures during this mining will be taken as per the

norms of DGMS, Safety of the men and machines are most important during this mining activity. No danger to public life and property arises as only trucks ply from mining site through public road. There are no water impoundments at higher levels or at lower contours. Police station and hospital are situated at Taluka head quarter about 3.0Kms.from the mining lease area.

B11) Care and Maintenance during the temporary discontinuance:

Temporary discontinuance of mining operations will be for a small period during heavy rains and due to lack of market demand at that time the security person engaged by the applicant will keep vigil for care and maintenance of the mine.

11.5 Economic Repercussions of Closure of the Mine and the Manpower Retrenchment :

Since this progressive closure plan is for the five years period of lease and this is the first closure plan, the question of its closure and consequent economic repercussions including manpower retrenchment does not arise at present. a) About 10 nos. of labors are engaged in this mine for loading and breaking of metal. These labors are earlier working in the agricultural fields and adjoining mining areas, if retrenched due to closure of mine they will join their present occupational work but not retrenched due to closure of the mine. b) If retrenched for any reason compensation would be provided as per provisions of Compensation act, Rules and Regulation’s applicable at the time.

c) Satellite occupations connected mining industry not applicable in this case.


d) Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of mining-This stage is not applicable during this scheme period. e) Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of society around-During closure of mine for whatever the reason, the society at large will not be affected much, only workers will become jobless but they would be compensated as per existing Act, Rules and Regulations and no repercussions are envisaged.

11.6 Time Scheduling for Abandonment:

This being the closure plan for the first five year period of lease which is yet to be commenced, the question of abandonment does not arise. The mining of Basalt bench wise is a part of mining activity and do not constitute abandonment of the area as reserves are still available in the mine under infrastructure which will conserve the mineral for future plan period thus increasing the life of the mine.

Abandonment Cost: Abandonment cost will be estimated during the final mine closer period of the mines that stage is yet to arrive. However, the information regarding various aspects is furnished in the table as given below.

Conceptual plan details:

As per conceptual plan in fifth year the conceptual period position of mine will be as given under. Area under mining activity 1.30Ha and area of safety zone as per conceptual plan is 0.49 Ha waste rock and topsoil will be used in the fifth year plan period for aforestation ,Area for mine sump will be around 1700 M3 . Garland drain in the safety zone area for preventing the silt at the top will be prepared with the total length of around 700 mtr will be made to prevent silt from entering in to mine pit, Area of green belt in fifth year will be approximately 0.49 Ha including the safety zone and. The pit bottom or floor level will be 285 meter , at the completion of fifth year plan period with the total production of Basalt 56148 Brass with recoverable Basalt of 50533 Brass, Intercalated waste of 5615 Brass, and top soil and Murom of 7385 Brass. At the end of conceptual period: Considering production of 11200 Brass per year for five years of lease period the position of pits, plantation etc .will be the same at the conceptual period because the plan period and lease period is the same.


Post Mining Land use pattern: The mining pit at the time of final closure of mining activities in the proposed

area would be developed as rainwater harvesting pit, enriching the groundwater conditions and surface water can be utilized for agricultural purposes. Reclamation of mined out land is not possible as waste generated is minimal. Area will be afforested with plantation in the next five years on safety zone area in Conceptual plan plate No.11 and Environmental management plan Plate no.9 Final slope of faces: Final slope of benches would be 45° so that maximum mineral can be

recovered, with safer bench conditions. Ultimate depth, size & shape of the pit: The applicant has applied for mining lease and period of grant would be for

Five years. Therefore It is premature to decide the conceptual plan for the quarry. However based on the available geological information requirement or purpose of mining the shape and size of basalt has been defined and shown as the Ultimately Pit Limits by colored lines in the Geological, Development, and Conceptual plan. Ultimate depth of the pit at the end of conceptual period is the same as of 5year period; depth will be 15 mtr to 18 mtr from the top RL 320 mtr of the bottom of pit would be 300 mtr. The factors considered to design the Ultimate Conceptual plan are as under:

i) Overall composite shape and lease area available for mining. ii) Relief of the area.

iii) Ultimate closing bench geometry will be as under. Bench width: 3.0mtr Bench Height: 3.0mtr

Ultimate pit wall slope: 45°, as Basalt rock is hard and compact it is stable hence above recommended geometry will be reasonably safer for post mining land use. Conceptual plan and environment Management Plan are as shown in Plate no.VII and Plate no. VIII respectively.
