SEPTEMBER’ 2014 10

2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT

It has been proposed to excavate approximately 709 TPD (2,10,118 TPA of ROM) of

mineral (ML No. 04/ 2010) by open cast semi-mechanized method. The lease area is

4.5058 ha. Total minable reserve available is 15,01,576 MT. The expected life of mine is

9 years. Total waste generated during the plan period of the mine will be 9,56,652

m3.The mineral will be transported through trucks/ tippers.

At the conceptual stage, the total excavated area will be 4.5058 ha. Water requirement

will be 10.0 KLD for the project and will be met by water tanker supply. The ultimate pit

limit will be 277 MSL at conceptual stage. The water table is at 130 m below the general

ground level at 210 MSL (ground water fluctuates between 210 MSL in Pre-monsoon

and 213 MSL in Post – monsoon season). Thus, ground water table will not be

intersecting during working till life of mine.

2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND

OR REGION

Being a construction material, the mineral will be used in indigenous market. The

excavated mineral will be dressed and polished as finished good made ready for use.

The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas will bring about gains

in gross domestic product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the project but will

add to the gains in G.D.P. (Gross Domestic Product). Sales in India have increased on

an over the past ten years, exceeding both regional and global averages. A rapidly

advancing economy and rising standards of living have helped increase overseas

investment in India, stimulating large amounts of industrialization and infrastructure-

related construction activity. However, Indian product demand (relative to construction

spending and on a per capita basis) is substantially below regional and world averages.

The mining project will provide employment to local people. Applicant will pay royalty for

the mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect taxes will be paid thereby

contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue so generated will further be put

for use in infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education and social

welfare. The applicant will spend 1% of profit for the development of the area i.e.

medical facilities, schools, temples and other social work.

2.4 DEMAND - SUPPLY GAP

Lime stone (minor mineral) is splittable used in construction activities as raw material. It

is available in the eastern part of the State near Kota and Jhalawar district. Most of the

lessees are from rural areas. Rajasthan in India is the largest producer of building stones






endowed with vast resources. The anticipated annual growth in consumption would be

around 15%. The entry in the target market is easy and there is a narrow gap in the

supply and demand, which is growing.

2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

The most commonly used product type is lime stone (Kota stone), is used for making

titles, Pattis, for flooring, table tops, cladding of walls and roof top coverings.. Limestone

(building stone) demand in India is expected to rise. Ongoing industrialization and

government plans to expand and upgrade the country's physical infrastructure will fuel

market growth.

2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY

Lime stone (Kota stone) production from the mine will cater to the needs of well

established domestic markets. There is a potential of the mineral for exporting after

meeting the indigenous requirements.

2.7 DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKETS

Domestic demand is one of the main reasons for the rapid growth of lime-stone (Kota

stone) business in India. Thus, domestic market for the stone as building stone is well

established.

The market scope for stone is found to be encouraging in local market with the

increased demand from construction fields

2.8 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE

PROJECT

The proposed project generates employment for around 95 people. Priority for

employment will be given to local persons. Following staff & workers are proposed to be

3.4.1 REGIONAL GEOLOGY

Most of the part of Kota district is occupied by rocks of Vindhyan Super Group which

forms the part of Great-Vindhyan basin, extending from Rohtas in Bihar to the

Chittorgarh area of Rajasthan. On the basis of different rock units the Vindhyan of the

area have been divided in to Semri, Kaimur, Rewa, and Bhander groups comprising

sandstones, shales and limestone. The Semri Group is separated from Kaimur by

conglomerate horizon which marks the break in sedimentation before the deposition of

Kaimur Group. The lime stone of Sirbu-Shale horizon; at places show the evidence of

algal life in the form of arch shaped structures known as Stomatolites. Occurrence of

Sandstone at different Stereographic horizons indicates fluctuation of the sea level due

to transgression and regression of the sea several times during the Vindhyan period.

The general Stratigraphic succession of rock types exposed in Kotah district is as under:

Geologically the district comprises rocks belonging to Vindhyan Super Group. The

generalized and modified litho stratigraphic sequence is as under:

3.4.3 HYDROGEOLOGY

The study area falls in Khairabad block of Kota district, which is under safe category

according to CGWB Publication “Dynamic Ground Water Resources of India – 2009”.

Rainfall plays a major role in groundwater availability of semi-arid region as it is the

major source available for groundwater recharge. The area is largely occupied by quartz

mica schist, phyllite along with granite & pegmatite intrusives as main aquifers.

Movement of groundwater in these hard rocks is controlled by size, continuity and

interconnectivity of weathered and fractured parts and due to other secondary porosities.

Groundwater occurs mainly under unconfined condition to semi-confined in saturated

zone of rock formation.






The water level in the study area varies from 210 MSL to 213 MSL as per

hydrogeological investigation. Seasonal fluctuation in the area is around -2 to 2 m as per

CGWA district groundwater brochure. (Source: CGWB Report)

3.4.4 MINERAL RESERVES

The mineral is already being worked in neighboring mine adjacent to the proposed

mining area under the supervision and control of the sister concern. The mineral is

exposed and similar in nature as per the investigations. The mineral reserves have been

estimated by plan area method. Based on the experience and the estimated reserves

have been classified in to proved, probable & possible reserves. The quantity of

10.1 Climate

Kota has a semi arid climate with high temperatures throughout the year. Summers are

long, hot and dry, starting in late March and lasting till the end of June. The monsoon

season follows with comparatively lower temperatures, but higher humidity and frequent,

torrential downpours. The monsoons subside in October and temperatures rise again.

The brief, mild winter starts in late November and lasts until the last week of February.

Temperatures hover between 26.7°C (max) to 12°C (min).The average annual rainfall in

the Kota district is 660.6 mm. Most of the rainfall can be attributed to the southwest

monsoon which has its beginning around the last week of June and may last till mid-

September. Pre-monsoon showers begin towards the middle of June with post-monsoon






rains occasionally occurring in October. The winter is largely dry, although some rainfall

does occur as a result of the Western Disturbance passing over the region.

10.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The prime objective of the baseline air monitoring was to evaluate the existing air quality

of the area. This will also be useful for assessing the conformity to standards of the

ambient air quality during the operation of the proposed mine.

Field monitoring studies for 24 hourly frequencies was carried out to evaluate the base

line status of the project site.

Wind Rose Pattern

One day monitoring of environmental attributes was carried out. The monitored values

was used as a baseline data to identify, evaluate and predict the impacts due to

proposed mining activities in the surrounding areas for preparing the Environmental

Management Plan accordingly for the proposed activity.

10.6 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Natural flora and fauna are important features of environment. They are organized into

communities with mutual dependencies among their members and show various

responses and sensitivities to outside influences. Therefore, nature of development and

baseline characteristics of terrestrial flora and fauna around the site of existing/proposed

activities is required to be assessed.

The primary/ secondary study is to characterize the environmental components like flora

and fauna, to assess the biological diversity of the region. Flora and fauna can be used

for biological surveillance in assessing the environmental status.
