PART - A

1.0 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION. (a) Brief description of the topography, general geology and local geology of the

Mineral deposit including drainage pattern.

Topography & Drainage pattern.

The Mines area falls in ToposheetNo.45 F/3. The Ordinary Sand outcrops occur as flat

terrian. The highest and lowest point of the applied area is 84.98 and 80.17 meters

respectively. The area falls on the slope of the hill, with 20 degree average inclination towards

N-S.

The Mines is fully Government land, which is flat terrain.

River bed exists within the area, Rain water flows through river slope towards North to south,

during rainy season.

Vegetation

The area is in Chhotaudepur which falls under arid climate. Consequently, it is characterized

bysandy plain, more of less barren of vegetation expect in rainy season when multitudes of

ephemeral come un and transform the bare land into a green carpet, These ephemeral

complete their life cycle before the advent of summer heat and bulk of the area is once more

transformed into open sandy and stony plane, desolate and barren.

In general the vegetation in arid region is sparse. Plants with xerophytes adaptation are able

to establish themselves. The bulk of vegetation at the study area consists of stunted, thorny or

prickly shrubs or perennial herbs capable of brought resistance, distantly scattered trees of

stunted growth are found in this part of the country. Such vegetation is known as desert scrub.

The dominant tree species are Neem, Baval, Sagvan, Pipal, Mango, Banyan tree etc.

Climate conditions

The climate is moderate and temperature ranges from 26-430C during summer to about 12

0C

during winter. The average annual rain fall is 400 to 500 mm which received during monsoon

season from June to September. Predominant wind direction is SE-NE. Generally wind blows

with a velocity of 12-12 Km/hr in all seasons. Relative humidity varies from 23% to 83%.

(b) Brief description of Regional Geology with reference to location of lease/applied

area. Regional Geology:

The Chhotaudepurs district forms the north-eastern part of the Gujarat State. It is bounded by

the Sabarkantha district of Gujarat and the Banswara district of Rajasthan in the north, and by the

Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh to the west. The district occupies an area of 8,866 km and has a

population of 29,56,456 people, Bodeli, Sant Rampur, JhalodShehera, Godhra, Limkheda, Dahod,

KalolDevgarhBaria, Halol and Jambughoda are the 11 talukas. Excepting the western plain part, the

entire district has hills of low altitude. The only exception being the Pavagadh hill. The Mahiriver is

the most Prominent river along with its tributaries like the Karod, the Mesri, the Goma and the

Panam. The avarage annual rainfall of the district is 90 cm. The district is well connected by roads

and rails.

8

The Archaean (?) crystallines, exposed to the southeast of DevgadhBaria, Comprising granite

gneiss and biotite gneiss are presumed to e oldest rocks in the area, Major part of the hilly terrain of

the district is occupied by the intensely flowed Aravalli Super group of rocks, comprising lithounits

belonging to the udaipur, Bodeli and the Champaner Groups. The Udaipur Group of rocks is exposed

in the east of Santrampur as a narrow belt and comprisephyllite, mica schist, metasubgraywacke

chlorite schist, phyllitic quartzite, protoquartizite and minor bands of dolomite. The Champaner

Group of rocks, restricted to the southern part of the district, has been subdivided into six formatics,

mainly due to interfomational conglomerate horizons.

Loamy and clayey soils occur in the piedmont plains, hilly terrain and plains. Bouger Gravity

anomaly varies form 30 to 50 mgals. The entire district falls in the moderate risk zone of the

seismicity. hot springs are present at Tuca, Nimbod and RathMoti. The main geomorphic units in the

district are alluvial plains, metasedimentary and granitic pediplains. sedimentarypediplain and alluvial

plain are excellent acquifers.

(j) Reserves and Resources as per UNFC with respect to the threshold value notified

by IBM may be furnished in a tabular from as given below:

Although the Ordinary Sand bed has been exposed fully in the whole area and also seen

in the bottom of pit which has gone to 3m deep. The quality of Ordinary Sand position

is improved in the deep portion. So we calculate the reserve of Ordinary Sand depends

upon the position which may vary from level to level & lateral wise. The occurrence of

uniforms & massive reserves. As per Geological Plan with section A’-A’’, B’-B’’ & C’-

C’’.

Proved Reserves (111)

The proved reserves can be estimated taking 2m interval continuity around the pits i.e.

about 07-95-00 sqm. & the depth is considered up to the 3m i.e. 5m below the actual

depth of the because by drilling. It is proved that Ordinary Sand is continuing in depth

& quality is also improved.

Probable Reserves (121 & 122)

An additional depth of 1.5m from the horizon of proved reserves have been taken under

probable reserves. The area of influence some change i.e. 07-95-00Sqm.

Possible Reserves (222)

A further addition depth of 1.5m from the horizon of probable reserves has been taken

under possible reserves. The area of influence some change i.e07-95-00Sqm.

A. OPEN CAST MINING

(a) Brief description of the existing as well as proposed method for excavation with

alldesign parameters indicating on plans / sections.

(i) Existing method for excavation: Design Parameters:

The deposit is in form of flat surface. So far of mining, Ordinary Sand exposed in

applied lease area, opencast is the only method which can be followed to work the

deposits.

The Mines plan is designed to use the existing natural parameter optimally for the

recovery of Ordinary Sand. The bench height has been kept at 8meters to make it

convenient for easy handling of primary and for safety purpose

(ii) Proposed method for excavation design parameters:

No change in method of mining is proposed.

(c) Brief description giving salient features of the proposed method of working

indicating category of Mines.

It is proposed to adopt the semi-mechanized open cast method of mining by using

Excavator. As stated earlier the Ordinary Sand mining is entirely different from

conventional type of mining. The bench parameters have been Mineral, 1.5m height

& width.

The Mining suggested is semi mechanized at present and subsequently based on

market it is planned to improvement to mechanized operations.

(d) Brief description of the layout of Mines working, pit road layout, the layout of

faces and sites for disposal of O/B, waste along with ground preparation prior to

disposal of waste, reject etc. A reference to the plans and sections may be given.

UPL or ultimate size of the pit is to be shown for identification of the suitable

dumping site.

Area is devoid of over burden so no Development works will be proposed. Bench

height will be 3m and targeted production will be 289380 tones Five year (with

Mineral reject) Details of year wise bench wise production is given in the tables

below.

First Year (2016-17)

Exploration:

Massive deposit of Ordinary Sand occurs is in the form of a lose, having exposure of all

sides up to bottom of River bed. The huge quantity of material to sustain production more

than 13 years is visible under proved category. Therefore further exploration is not

required.

Mines development:

As such very nominal development work for proposed road making work will be required

to start production from this area. The proposed mining has been selected along strike

direction covering maximum width up to ultimate depth. Therefore, the development &

production plan have been described.

Optimum Exploitation and utilization of Mineral:

Ordinary Sand Mineral in the lease area has been excavated up to 7.5 m statutory barrier

all along the lease boundary with the restriction of mining width; under the present

scenario mining cannot proceed below 80.17mRL.

Lessee should apply to DGMS for mining in 7.5 barrier.

In the present pit design final pit slope is considered at 450. In the fifth year of mining the

present reserves are likely to exhaust, hence company can approach DGMS for steeper

final slope of the pit and recover the blocked Mineral to possible maximum limit.

Disposal of Waste

0% waste of ROM from Ordinary Sand will be generated during mining. Total 111300

cum tone & 0 swelled wastes will be generated. Initially during scheme of mining (1st to

5th

year) waste will be dumped on ground level as shown in plate no.3.

During the proposed five years period year wise barbed wire fencing will be done around

the plantation area wire fencing will prevent any inadvertent entry. Year Waste in cum

Environmental Aspects:

Due to mining, envies Jabugam land degradation will be in the form of open pit and area

covered will be about 6.3706 hectares out of 7.9500 hectares. By the end of life of Mines

1.5794 ha. will be developed as green belt along the statutory barrier.

Machinery in use at the Mines will generate dust and noise and all preventive measures as

per consent to operate will be strictly implemented. Negative impact on land degradation

will be reduced by way of green belt along the lease boundary. Air pollution will be

controlled by way of providing fully automatic drilling machine from where continuous

supply of water during drilling flows down to suppress any dust generated during drilling.

Sprinkling of water over haul roads, loading and unloading points will be provided. Dusts

masks will be provided to workers engage Jabugam in drilling and working in dusty

environment. No Mineral beneficiation is proposed hence, no water treatment is required.

However any water flowing from the Mines to outside will be circulated through the

sumps and settlers, so arrest any silt. Sumps and settlers will be periodically cleaned.

16

Regular Air, water and noise quality will be monitored as per the guide lines from SPCB.

SPM level of 500 ug/m3in ambient air will be achieved. Standard of 600 ug/m

3 will be

applicable within 3-10 m of any equipment.

Day time noise level shall be kept below 75d B A (Leq) and night time at 70 dB A

(Leq)

Other conditions as per consent operate will be followed

Plantation :

Plantation will be carried out along the lease boundary over 7.5 m statutory barrier

(1.5794 hectares) by the end of SOM period.

Year wise plantation program for the SOM period is given below.

Expected rate of Survival : Expected rate of survival is anticipated at 80 %

Proper care maintenance will be done as proposed in the chapter on environment

management in the SOM.

Post Mining land use:

The applied lease area at the end of mining when Mineral will be fully exhausted will be

backfilled by waste from ROM generated during mining and remaining mine out will be

used for rain water storage. However at the end of lease period total plantation area will

be 1.5794 hectares. This will enhance the aesthetic beauty of the area. This work should

be taken up in consultation with Horticulturist and landscape designers.

Reclamation &Rehabilitation:

At the end of mining plan period, about 6.3706 hectares area will be cover under mining

up to depth 80.17 m RL. Ordinary Sand Mineral will continue in strike for further mining.

Thus no reclamation is proposed at this plan period. The plantation will be done along

lease boundary in next five years. At the end of mining plan period total 1.5794 hectares

area will be planted.

Backfilling has proposed in next five year plan period. Nonetone of waste will be

generated from Ordinary Sand, total waste will be generated during plan period will be

dumped on the ground level.

(ii) Quality of air

The entire area is very calm and quiet and free form air pollution. The quality of air

level appears to be within permissible limits (No Survey has been conducted for the

preparation of mining plan of small area). The source of pollution as regard air area

the surrounding small Mines which contribute mainly for the pollution.

24

(iii) Ambient noise level

The entire area is very calm and quiet and free from noise pollution. The quality of

ambient noise level appears to be within permissible limit (no survey has been

conducted for the preparation of mining plan of small area) the source of pollution as

regard noise area the surrounding small Mines which contribute mainly for the

pollution.

(iv) Flora and fauna

The area lies in Chhotaudepur, which falls under arid climate. Consequently, it is

characterized by sandy plain, more of less barren of vegetation except in rainy season

when multitudes of ephemeral come up and transform the bare land into a green

carpet. These ephemeral complete their life cycle before the advent of summer heat

and bulk of the area is once more transformed into open sandy and stony plane,

desolate and barren.

In general the vegetation in arid region is sparse. Plants with xerophytes adaptation

are able to establish themselves. The bulk of vegetation at the study area consists of

stunted, Thorny of prickly shrubs of perennial herbs capable of drought resistance.

Distantly scattered trees of stunted growth are found in this part of the country. Such

vegetation is known as desert scrub. The dominant tree species are neem, Baval,

Sagvan, Pipal, Mango, Banyan tree etc.

The terrestrial fauna of the region mainly comprises of domestic animals and burrow

dwellers. During the study period no endangered of rare species was found within the

study area.

(v) Climatic conditions

The climate is moderate and temperature ranges from 26-430C during summer to

about 120C during winter. The average annual rain fall is 400 to 500 mm which

received during monsoon season from June to September. Predominant wind direction

is SE-NE. Generally wind blows with a velocity of 12-12 Km/hr in all seasons.

Relative humidity varies from 23% to 83%.

(vi) Human settlements

There is no village within the lease area. Lease area is situated in the revenue

boundary of Jabugam, Jabugam village is situated in north direction of the lease area.

(vii) Public buildings, places of worship and monuments

Area is free from any public building and monuments. The lease area is free from sink

hole having any connection to any cave system and Perennial River is far away from

the lease area as such not going to affect any way.

(viii) Weather any Sanctuary is located in the vicinity of lease hold?

No any Sanctuary is located in the vicinity of lease hold area.

8.2 Impact Assessment:

The Mining operation will have some impact on the existing environment, both

adverse and beneficial. Considering the nature and scale of operation, on the other

hand impact on socio-economic will be largely beneficial. The possible impacts are

enumerated below:

25

(i) Land Environment

At the end of five years, damage to the landscape in the form of pit & road etc., about

7.9500 hectares will be pit. The area influence of mining at the end of 5th

year & end

of the Mines life is given below:

(ii) Air Quality

Air quality gets affected due to mining, blasting and movement of earth moving

equipment etc.However, the impacts area localized and is not continuous. Overall

effect for mining of Ordinary Sand from this 7.9500 hect. Area is insignificant. To

reduce such impacts measures will be adopted from the inception by spraying water

all along the haul road. Further a forestation all along the lease boundary and haul

road will arrest a major quantity of dust. In blasting use of delay/non electric system

will result reduction of vibration as well as dust.

(iii) Water Quality

The mining excavation of which will never touch the ground water table. Hence no

question of ground water pollution arises.

(iv) Noise levels

Operation of equipment will emit noise. To have control on noise level within 80 db

adherence to strict schedule maintenance, monitoring of noise will be carried out.

Blasting-Noise & Vibration during blasting is momentary but needs proper planning

to reduce the same.

(v) Water regime

Unaffected

(vi) Acid Mines drainage

This is not applicable to the Ordinary Sand area.

26

(vii) Surface subsidence

This is not applicable to the Ordinary Sand area.

(viii) Socio-economic environment

Mining in this lease area will gave more job opportunity to the local people

thus,Ordinary Sand mining will not create any adverse effect to the local people.

Ordinary Sand mining will not generate hazardous dust, which may cause health

problem to Mines workers. The nearest human settled village is Jabugam which is

nearby from lease area. Thus mining will not have any impact on the village human

settlement.

(ix) Historical monuments etc.

No Historical monument lies within the core and 5 Km. buffer zone.

8.3 Progressive reclamation plan:

8.3.1 Mine out land

Description of the proposals to be implemented for reclamation and rehabilitation of

Mine out land including the manner in which the actual site of the pit will be restored

for future use, supported with yearly plans and section depicting yearly progress in the

activities for land restoration/reclamation/rehabilitation, a forestation etc., called

“Reclamation plan”

Land use pattern at present and at the end of plan period is given above:

Reclamation & Rehabilitation

At the end of mining plan period, about 7.9500hectares area will be cover under

mining up to depth 80.17mRL. Ordinary Sand Mineral will continue is strike for

further mining after approved applet Authority. Thus no reclamation is proposed at

this exiting mining area. The plantation will be done along lease boundary in next five

year. At the end of mining plan period total 1.5794hectares area will be planted.

Plantation:

Plantation will be carried out along the lease boundary over 7.5 m statutory barrier

(1.5794 hectares) by the end of plan period.

Year wise plantation program for the SOM period is given below:

Year No.of plants Area (in Hect.,) Survival Rate

2016-17 10 0.31588 50%

2017-18 10 0.31588 50%

2018-19 10 0.31588 50%

2019-20 10 0.31588 50%

2020-21 10 0.31588 50%

Total 1.5794

Expected rate of survival: Expected rate of survival is anticipated at 80%

Proper care maintenance will be done as proposed in the chapter on Environment

management in the SOM.

27

8.3.2 Top soil Management:

No top soil generated whatever top soil generated has been used for plantation.

8.3.3 Tailings Dam Management:

There is no tailing generation in the process of mining. Hence no tailing dam

management.

8.3.4 Acid Mines drainage, if any and its mitigative measures.

There is no acid drainage in this Mines of Ordinary Sand area, so no mitigative

measures are proposed.

8.3.5 Surface subsidence mitigation measures through backfilling of Mines voids or by

any other means and its monitoring mechanism.
