Nasim Ansari, Village- Azad muhlla, P.O & P.S.- Sisai, District- Gumla, Jharkhand.

2.3 Brief description of the nature of the project

The proposed project is to mine brick clay from above mentioned plots sustainably and

scientifically. Mining will be opencast and manual as per mining rules keeping all the nearby

plots unaffected. Following geo-scientific methods are proposed carry out the activity:

Mining will be confined to extraction of Brick Clay in its existing form, their allotted

Plot(s) only.

Mining of Brick Clay from their allotted plot (s) will be restricted to a maximum depth

of 2 meter from surface.

No drilling and blasting is proposed.

Approximately 1.15 Acres (0.465 Ha) minor mineral will be extracted.

No mining activity will be undertaken during the monsoon season.

In order to avoid environmental pollution or any accidental hazards, mining activity will

Be restricted to day time only.

The operation will remain manual. Using tools like shovel, spade, sieve etc.




2.4 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region

Indian brick industry is the second largest brick producer in the world after China. The industry

has an annual turnover of more than 10000 crores and it is one of the largest employment

generating industries. The production of Brick Clay will benefit to the state in the form of

royalty. Apart from this project operation will provide employment directly and indirectly to

the people residing in vicinity, thus improving the Socio-economic status of the area.

2.5 Demands –Supply Gap

Building construction in India is estimated to grow at a rate of 6.6% per year between 2005 and

2030. The building stock is expected to multiply five times during this period, resulting in a

very large increased demand for building materials. Brick Clay has become a very important

mineral for the manufacturing of Bricks which contributes to the expansion of infrastructure in

the society. With the increase of urbanization the demand for Bricks is growing in

infrastructure sector in our country. Individual and private companies are increasingly

demanding Brick for construction purposes and this has immense pressure on brick clay

resources. This increasing demand and extraction makes this an environmental issue.

2.6 Domestic/Export Markets

Due to the increased industrial and infrastructural growth of the rural and urban areas demand

of Brick is very high .Construction companies and local vendors in the nearby town and cities

are the potential market for the brick made up of brick clay. Clay fired bricks form the

backbone of the construction industry which is valued at approximately US$ 70.8 billion. There

are an estimated 100,000 or more brick kilns, producing about 150-200 billion bricks annually,

employing about 10 million works and consuming about 25 million tons of coal annually.

2.7 Employment Generation

The proposed project will generate direct/indirect employment to the people of all class of

society. During the operational 17 un-skilled and non-skilled workers will be hired. The

contractors will get the direct or indirect benefit from the project activity.

Raw Material Required Along with Estimated Quantity, Likely Source, Marketing Area of

Final product/s Mode of Transport of Raw Material and Finished Product.

The operation involves the extraction of Brick Clay in is existing form. Raw bricks will be cast

and transported to kiln site by carts and tractor trolleys through village roads.

3.6 Availability of water its source, energy/power requirement and source.

There will be very little requirement of water to carry out operations as it will be done

manually. The water will be required either for drinking purposes or for casting of bricks. It is

projected that not more than 17 laborers will be required for the proposed project. It is

estimated that approx.1 KLD water will be required for a maximum of 17 site workers. Apart

from this 4 KLD water will be required for casting the bricks and 2 KLD will be required for

sprinkling on haulage road. 1 KLD for green belt. Thus, water requirement of 8 KLD will be

met through nearby existing bore wells, dug wells and nearby ponds

All the activities will be carried out manually. The operation will be done in day time; hence

there is no power requirement for the project at site.

3.7 Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their

management/disposal.

CHAPTER – 4 SITE ANALYSIS




4.3 Topography

The Gumla district consists of undulating type topography and is a part of Chottanagpur

plateau, which is a region of large physical inequalities and presents a rich panorama of

topographical features. The general configuration of region varies from valley fills,

pedeplains, to structural ridges. In Gumla district three well marked erosion surfaces are

clearly discernible.

The large difference relief brings about strong, contrast climate, natural vegetation, surface

drainage, underground water and soil profile. In the pat region the rivers are long deep and

with terrace but in pedeplain area they are wide with gentle slopes.

The Lease area of Longa Brick Clay Mine exhibits plain type of topography in nature

and very gentle slop towards south-west. The highest elevation point of lease area is

663 m and lowest elevation point is 661 m above mean sea level.

4.4 Existing land use pattern

There is no forest land in the proposed mine lease area. The existing land use pattern of the area

is agricultural.

4.5 Soil classification

The soils occurring in different landforms have been characterised during soil resource

mapping of the state on 1:250,000 scale (Haldar et al. 1996) and three soil orders namely

Entisols, Inceptisols and Alfisols were observed in Gumla district. Alfisols were the dominant

soils covering 43.1 percent of TGA followed by Inceptisols (39.4 %) and Entisols (15.7 %).

The characteristic soil occurred in the district is mostly of acidic, reddish yellow, light textured

and highly permeable with poor water holding capacity.




4.6 Climatic conditions

Gumla district enjoys a good climate characterized by a pleasant cold and temperate weather

conditions. Gumla has a sub-tropical climate. Temperature ranges from maximum 40 to 20 °C

during summer and minimum 21 to 3 °C during winter. The annual rainfall is about 1450 mm.
