3.0 GEOLOGY
3.1 Physiography:-
The district forms part of Deccan Plateau, locally known as Balaghat Plateau,
with slope towards southwest and south and has a varied topography consisting of
hills, plains and undulating topography near river-banks. The district forms a part of
Godavari basin. The Balaghat Plateau comprises of low-lying hills forming water
divide. Many of the tributaries to Godavari river originate from the Balaghat Plateau.
Manjra River is the main river flowing through the district. Other rivers are Sina,
Terna, Bori, Benitura and Banganga. Based on geomorphological setting and
drainage pattern, the district is divided into 41 watersheds.
Deccan Trap Basalt
Deccan Traps occurs as Basaltic lava flows, which are around 280 m thick,
normally horizontally disposed over a wide stretch and give rise to tableland type of
topography on weathering also known as plateau. These flows occur in layered sequence
ranging in thickness from few metres to 55 m. Flows are represented by massive portion at
bottom and vesicular portion at top and are separated from each other by marker bed
known as bole bed. Ground water in Deccan Trap Basalt occurs under phreatic and semi- 5
confined conditions. The weathered and fractured trap occurring in topographic lows form
the main aquifer in the district
3.2 Geology of the lease area
The area is represented by thin soil cover and pieces of Basalt on top of the
surface from the quarry pits in and around lease area it is observed that below soil cover up
to 10-15 cms. Weathered Basalt is occurring. Below weathered Basalt of 3 to 4m thickness
massive Basalt of compact and hard is occurring.
The Basalt occurring in the area is jointed and fractured. The rock is
grayish Black in colour.
3.3 Mineral composition of Basalt
The general mineral composition of basalt of Deccan Trap is giving in the
following table.
Minerals %
Quartz 4.14
Orthoclase 4.45
Albite 22.01

science of rocks, London, 349 p.)
In chemical characters also the basalt shows great uniformity in composition.
3.4 Suitability of rock as a rubble and aggregate
Test conducted on samples collected from the lease area indicated following
factors
i) The rock is durable for structure work.
ii) The rock has adequate compressive strength and low water absorption.
iii) The rock does not contain deleterious minerals which bring about alkali
aggregate reaction.
iv) The rock is tough and hard and possess good cementing properties.
In short the rock occurring in the lease area is quite suitable for construction material and
manufacture of aggregate.
17
3.5 Estimation of reserves of Basalt
3.5.1 Method of reserve estimation
The Insitu reserves of recoverable reserves are worked out in proposed mining area
for 5 years by taking section lines considering the area of influence and specific gravity of
Basalt.
3.5.2 Exploration of mineral reserves
The nearby area has escarpment.(>20 m) and wells which shows the presence of
basalt lava flows which more than 20 m. Therefore, as such the exploration is not required
in this area. The Deccan Traps has thickness over 7000m in the west which gradually
reduces to 60m towards East ( DGM, Nagpur, 7000, Geology and Mineral Resources of
Maharashtra 7000, Govt. of Maharashtra, June 7000, pp. 09) It is also clear from plate no.
7 that the mining work in the area is limited up to 18 m.
3.5.3 Types of reserves
The in situ and recoverable reserves have been estimated separately. One section
lines are taken into consideration to calculate reserves on the basis of old quarries.
Assuming 25m depth from top surface level, working will be done in first phase and after
excavation of this area prospecting will be done in future for further investigation of hard
rock formation, below the 25m depth.
3.5.4 Insitu reserves of proposed quarrying area
The sample quantity of basalt is available in the lease area. The reserves are
calculated by proposing one section lines namely A – A’. The section lines are shown in
the Geological plan. The reserves are calculated and shown in the following table.

Thus in all 2,88,805 Tonnes are reserves are estimated which come to 59,542 Brass.
So inconsideration 7000 brass per year.
59,542 Brass/ 7000 brass =8.5 years
So life of the mine is 8 years.

wherever present, followed by extraction of exposed basalt subject to following condition
being strictly complied with:
1. Quarrying operation shall be conducted from top to bottom level.
2. No person shall be engaged on work or allowed to travel close to high sides/benches,
from which he may likely to fall from more than 1.8m height vertically down , unless he is
provided with and used a safety belt or rope.
3. A garland of 7.5 m of barrier will be maintained.
4. At surface all along the lease boundary vegetation growth will be generated to isolate
mining operation from rest of the area.
5. The surface drainage channels governing the water drainage of the area will be
maintained by proper garland drain to collect the water at the periphery of excavation and
discharge the same at the natural outlets by passing the excavation.
6. Wherever top morrow soil is excavated would be stacked properly for the use of
vegetation.
The excavated basalt will be used for:
1. In the stock yards of Railway plots.
2. Road works
3. In construction line for filling and flooring.
4. In irrigation department for lining and for Bandhara.
5. Other sectors

23
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
5.1 Existing land use pattern
The existing land is 1.00 Hectare which can be classified as follows –
Area under internal road ... 0.0126 Hectare
Proposed road for quarry ... Not required as existing internal road
passes through entire quarry lease area.
Proposed plantation (a forestation)
by lessee .. 0.3150 Hectare
Virgin area for future quarrying 0.6724 Hectare
after 5 years
The existing road passes from Western side of the area and quarry road can be
taken up from this road. There are no houses in the area.
5.2 Baseline information
The highest point is 708 meter whereas lowest point is 703.40 meter. (T.B.M. is
taken as 705.400 meter) As explained in earlier, quarry face is proposed to be worked with
6 meter high benches. About 7000 brass basaltic rock (ROM) will be excavated annually.
5.3 Water regime
The seasonal rain water covering the lease area will disappear in few days after the
monsoon or even during monsoon when there are no showers. There is no water body
around the lease area.
5.4 Land environment
Opencast mining proposed for 5 years will produce a sloping wall of 45o with
benches. However, if quarrying is further permitted beyond 5 years the quarrying work
will be below the ground level.
24
5.5 Fauna and Flora
The lease area has no considerable vegetation. Few trees exist near road side and
area under quarrying is a barren land. The tree species are Imli, Babul, and Mango etc.
The wild animals do not live in the lease area however; snakes and usual domestic animals
such as sheep, cow, buff lows, bullocks, etc are observed.
5.6 Quality of air ambient noise and water level
The area has fresh and clean air. It is very calm and has no disturbance. The noise
level is quite low and below 45 -50 dB, which is below normal level. The lease area is
quite away from industrialization and devoid of air pollution.
There are no water bodies and the wells are very few in the lease area. The source
of water is generated mainly by drilling boreholes up to the depth of 65-70 meter. The
static water level in the area is quite below the ground level. Surface water precipitated
during monsoon flows following the relief of the area.
5.7 Climatic conditions
The area experiences moderately temperate climate. Average temperature in summer
ranges from 27o to 42
o C and in winter it ranges from 10
o to 26
oC. Humidity ranges from
40% to 50%. Average rainfall in the area ranges from 650-775 mm.
5.8 Human settlement
There is no human settlement in the lease area. The nearest human settlement is at
Andora Village which is located at a distance of about 1.23Km from lease area.
5.9 Public building, places of worship and monuments
There are no public buildings within periphery of 500 m from lease area. The

6.0 ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT:
The proposed mining method is of manual nature and the lease area is not so big.
The possible impact on environment is discussed in the following:
6.1 Land use pattern
Land use after 5 years
Particulars As on Today
In Hectare
After 5 years
In Hectare
a) Area of top soil spread for a
forestation
- 0.3150Ha
b) Over burden Dump (murum) - -
c) Mineral Storage - -
d) Infrastructure +CRUSHER - -
e) Mine Road in Lease area 0.0126 Ha 0.0080 Ha
f) Utilized area for quarrying 0.1300 Ha 0.6505 Ha
g) Virgin lease area for quarry 0.8574 Ha 0.0265 Ha
1.00 Ha. 1.00 Ha.
6.2 Air quality and noise
Air will get affected due to generation of dust along the mine road (due to traffic).
The production of the quarry is very less i.e. 7000 brass per year. Hence, movement of
trucks will be limited. The area is receiving fresh breeze hence dust particles will move
away by natural ventilation.
Noise generation in this quarry will be due to jack hammer drilling and blasting.
As mentioned earlier the noise level in the quarry will be around 45 to 50 dB. The Director
General of Mines Safety (DGMS) ministry of labour, vide DGMS circular No.18 of 1975
has prescribed certain limiting standards for miners exposed to noise generated by mining
and allied equipment. As per these standards there is very little risk to an unprotected ear
at a level of 85 dB for continuous 8 hours exposure. The danger limit value is 90 dB,
above which the danger of hearing impairment and deafness may result from an
unprotected ear.
26
6.3 Water quality
No ground water will be encountered in the pit. The quality of ground water found
in the in dug wells and bore wells are located outside the applied area i.e in the settlement
areas, and therefore will not be affected due to quarrying activity.
Surface water is encountered only during the monsoon. This water will join a
seasonal water course flowing at lower levels. This water course will not be affected much
because the rain water flows on the basaltic surface. Basalt is hard compact and massive
rock and it will not produce much sediments.
6.4 Water regime
Working will be in very small area and total lease area is only 1.00 Hectare. There
will not be any adverse impact from the quantum of annual rainfall. The working is
restricted to very shallow depth and ground water table will not be disturbed.
6.5 Historical monuments, etc.
There are no historical monuments of structures of any importance in core zone or
in the buffer zone.
6.6 Socio-economic environment
6.6.1 Social and demographic profile
The workers are from local villages. These people have been provided by all
welfare from a lessee. They have some land and cattle for their daily earnings. Additional
income earned from the quarry work will improve their living standard. The group of
quarries in and around lease area with help to have infrastructure facilities like roads,
schools, shops etc. This will improve their social life to some extent.
6.6.2 Occupational health and safety
Quarrying activities are comparatively less because the production is not on large
scale. Workers do not come across any extreme conditions like excessive heat; moisture
etc. People working near crushing plant only face the dusty environment. The fineness of
dust may not be beyond the unsafe limit (5 micron) as there has not been a single case of
silicosis or tuberculosis in the past.
27
6.6.3 Human settlement
There are no houses in and around lease area. Blasting is only activity which may
affect the settlement but nearest settlement is at distance of 1.23Km from the quarry. All
the due precautions will be taken during drilling and blasting. Settlements located in and
around area will not be affected by such activity.
28
7.0 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN:
7.1 Temporary storage and utilization of top soil
The thickness of top soil is very less i.e. 0.5 m. Hence the soil removed need not be
stored. It will be spread in the proposed area of a forestation.
7.2 Proposal for reclamation
Quarrying activity will generate only soil dump. All the basaltic rock excavated is
marketed either in raw form or after crushing it for aggregate.
7.3 Programme for afforestation
Afforestation will be carried out to increase the green cover and create harmony
with nature. The area will be afforested with variety of local sapling. This will help to have
polyculture. The details of afforestation programme are given below.
Year Area and Extent in

7.4 Measures to control erosion:
The basaltic rock is hard, compact massive rock and there is no erosion.
7.5 Measures for mining effect on the water regime:
No wet processing is adopted. Proposed workings area is of shallow depth and
mostly carried out in dry season. Drains will be made at key places to guide rainwater so
that erosion is avoided.
7.6 Protective measures against ground vibrations air blast caused by blasting:
Following precautions will be taken to achieve the safety.
i) Latest technique of using ‘NONEL’ will be adopted. It generates less noise
and it has minimum vibrations, minimum flying fragments etc.
29
ii) Safety zone will be maintained during blasting.
iii) Guards will be kept around safety zone.
iv) Blasting will be carried out in odd and defined hours.
v) Vibration levels will be measured on regular interval.
There are no human settlements, structures in the core zone and in the vicinity in
the buffer zone. The above measures should be enough to achieve results.
7.7 Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of human
settlements
The historical monuments and human settlements are quite for from the case
area. It will not be affected. Therefore no measures are required to be taken in this regard.
7.8 Socio-economic benefits arising out of mining
Following will be the achievement of the project.
i) Generation of employment in the rural area.
ii) Improvement in the living standards of the rural people.
iii) Creating of infrastructural facilities like roads, electricity, shops, school, etc
iv) Helping to improve literacy in the area.
v) Exploiting natural mineral.
vi) Helping to sustain construction activity.
vii) Improving the greenery of the area, this is otherwise very poor.

8.1.5 Method of mining
Open cast quarrying method shall be adopted for extraction of basalt. It is proposed
to work with 6 meter bench. Drilling and blasting will be done to produce the required size
of crude rock. This rock will be fed to the crusher. This mining plan will consists of the
following operation.
i) Removal of murrum soil, weathered basalt, wherever available and stack at
dumping site.
ii) Mining of basalt.
iii) Removal of mined ROM to surface yard for proper sizing, sorting, and
stacking.
32
Opencast Working:
Each cycle of operation shall consist of removal of murrum soil, weathered basalt
wherever present, followed by extraction of exposed basalt subject to following condition
being strictly complied with:
1. Quarrying operation shall be conducted from top to bottom level.
2. No person shall be engaged on work or allowed to travel close to high sides/benches,
from which he may likely to fall from more than 1.8m height vertically down, unless he is
provided a safety belt or rope for use.
3. A garland of 5 m of barrier will be maintained.
4. At surface all along the lease boundary vegetation growth will be generated to isolate
mining operation from rest of the area.
5. The surface drainage channels governing the water drainage of the area will be
maintained by proper garland drain to collect the water at the periphery of excavation and
discharge the same at the natural outlets by passing the excavation.
6. Wherever top murrum soil is excavated, it would be stacked properly for the use of
vegetation.
The excavated basalt will be used in:
1. The stock yards of railway plots.
2. The road works
3. The construction line for filling and flooring.
4. Irrigation department for lining and for bandhara.
5. Other sectors
8.1.6 Mineral processing

9.0 MINE DESCRIPTION
9.1 Geology
9.1.1 Geology and rock characteristics
Physiography:-
The district forms part of Deccan Plateau, locally known as
Balaghat Plateau, with slope towards southwest and south and has a varied
topography consisting of hills, plains and undulating topography near river-banks.
The district forms a part of Godavari basin. The Balaghat Plateau comprises of low-
lying hills forming water divide. Many of the tributaries to Godavari river originate
from the Balaghat Plateau. Manjra River is the main river flowing through the
district. Other rivers are Sina, Terna, Bori, Benitura and Banganga. Based on
geomorphological setting and drainage pattern, the district is divided into 41
watersheds.
Deccan Trap Basalt
Deccan Traps occurs as Basaltic lava flows, which are around 280 m thick,
normally horizontally disposed over a wide stretch and give rise to tableland type of
topography on weathering also known as plateau. These flows occur in layered sequence
ranging in thickness from few metres to 55 m. Flows are represented by massive portion at
bottom and vesicular portion at top and are separated from each other by marker bed
known as bole bed. Ground water in Deccan Trap Basalt occurs under phreatic and semi- 5
confined conditions. The weathered and fractured trap occurring in topographic lows form
the main aquifer in the district
9.1.2 Geology of the lease area (local geology)
The area is represented by thin soil cover and pieces of Basalt on top of the surface
from the quarry pits in and around lease area it is observed that below soil cover up to 10-
15 cms. Weathered Basalt is occurring. Below weathered Basalt of 3 to 4m thickness
massive Basalt of compact and hard is occurring.
The Basalt occurring in the area is jointed and fractured. The rock is
grayish Black in colour.
35
9.2 Reserves
9.2.11 Estimation of reserves of basalt
9.2.1.1 Method of estimation
The insitu reserves of recoverable reserves are worked out in proposed mining
area for 5 years by taking section lines considering the area of influence and specific
gravity of basalt.
9.2.3 Types of reserves
The in situ and recoverable reserves have been estimated separately. one section
line are taken into consideration to calculate reserves on the basis of old quarries.
Assuming 25m depth from top surface level, working will be done in first phase and after
excavation of this area prospecting will be done in future for further investigation of hard
rock formation below the 25m depth.
9.2.3.1 Insitu reserves of proposed quarrying area
The sample quantity of basalt is available in the lease area. The reserves are
calculated by proposing one section line namely A – A’. The section lines are shown
in the Geological plan. The reserves are calculated and shown in the following table.

Working pit plan and working section for five years are shown in plate No. 5 and Plate No.
4 respectively
9.3 Mining method
Open cast quarrying method shall be adopted for extraction of basalt. It is proposed
to work with 6 metre bench. Drilling and blasting will be done to produce the required size
of crude rock to be fed for crushers. Production of crude or ROM basalt is envisaged at the
rate of 7000 (approx.) brass per year constantly.(details are given under ‘method of
mining’).
9.4 Mineral Beneficiation
Basalt rock is quarried by open cast method. Then it is crushed and screened to
produce an aggregate.

11.2 Air quality and noise
Air will get affected due to generation of dust along the mine road (due to traffic).
The production of the quarry is very less i.e 7000 brass per year. Hence, movement of
trucks will be limited. The area is receiving fresh breeze hence dust particles will move
away by natural ventilation.
Noise generation in this quarry will be due to jack hammer drilling and blasting.
As mentioned earlier the noise level in the quarry will be around 45 to 50 dB. The Director
General of Mines Safety (DGMS) ministry of labour, vide DGMS circular No.18 of 1975
has prescribed certain limiting standards for miners exposed to noise generated by mining
and allied equipment. As per these standards there is very little risk to an unprotected ear
at a level of 85 dB for continuous 8 hours exposure. The danger limit value is 90 dB,
above which the danger of hearing impairment and deafness may result from an
unprotected ear.
11.3 Water quality
No ground water will be encountered in the pit. The quality of ground water found
in the in dug wells and bore wells are located outside the applied area i.e. in the settlement
areas, and therefore will not be affected due to quarrying activity.
Surface water is encountered only during the monsoon. This water will join a
seasonal water course flowing at lower levels. This water course will not be affected much
because the rain water flows on the basaltic surface. Basalt is hard compact and massive
rock and it will not produce much sediments.
11.4 Water regime
Working will be in very small area and total lease area is only 1.00 Hectare. There
will not be any adverse impact from the quantum of annual rainfall. The working is
restricted to very shallow depth and ground water table will not be disturbed.
11.5 Historical monuments, etc.
There are no historical monuments of structures of any importance in core zone or
in the buffer zone.
39
11.6 Socio-economic environment
11.6.1 Social and demographic profile
The workers are from local villages. These people have been provided by all
welfare from a lessee. They have some land and cattle for their daily earnings. Additional
income earned from the quarry work will improve their living standard. The group of
quarries in and around lease area with help to have infrastructure facilities like roads,
schools, shops etc. This will improve their social life to some extent.
11.6.2 Occupational health and safety
Quarrying activities are comparatively less because the production is not on large
scale. Workers do not come across any extreme conditions like excessive heat; moisture
etc. People working near crushing plant only face the dusty environment. The fineness of
dust may not be beyond the unsafe limit (5 micron) as there has not been a single case of
silicosis or tuberculosis in the past.
11.6.3 Human settlement
There are no houses in and around lease area. Blasting is only activity which may
affect the settlement but nearest settlement is at distance of 1.23 Km from the quarry. All
the due precautions will be taken during drilling and blasting. Settlements located in and
around area will not be affected by such activity.
40
12.0 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSION OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND
MANPOWER RETRENCHMENT
Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of continuation family
occupation and scope of joining occupation back
It is expected that 6-10 local residents will be employed in the mine. They are
having agricultural fields in the villages. They will continue to cultivate the fields even
though they are working in the mines and will continue even though mine is closed.
Compensation given or to be given to the employees for sustenance of himself
and for their members
Gratuity and provident fund will be part of their salary structure. Employment of
the people will be based on the project life of the mine or retirement age whichever is
earlier.
Satellite occupations connected to Mining Industry – number of persons
engaged there in – continuance of such business after mine closes.
There won’t be any satellite occupation.
Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of mining lease
area and any other status of mining lease area and any other remnant activities
Working at the site will be continued for maximum period of 2 months after the
closure of the mine. All the workers will be continued to be employed till that period.
Envisaged repercussion on the expectation of the society around due to closure
of the mine
There will not be any specific repercussions or expectations from the society due to
closure of mine. People employed in the mine will be duly compensated.
