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

2.3.1 Need for the project

Madhya Pradesh is a rich state in mineral. The state is endowed with major and minor

mineral resources. The region, where the project is situated, people are mostly dependant

on agriculture and mineral resources. The developments of mining in the area provide direct

and indirect employment opportunities, infrastructure development, communication and

development socio-economic infrastructure. The important benefits accruing from the project


2


Page 7

can thus be stated as - boost to local and regional economy, direct contribution to the state

exchequer.

2.3.2 Importance to the country and region

The principal use of limestone is in the Cement Industry. Other important uses are as flux in

metallurgical processes; in Glass, Ceramic, Paper, Textile and Tanning Industries; for

manufacture of calcium carbide, alkali and bleaching powder; for water purification and

sugar refining; in fertilizer (calcium ammonium nitrate) and as soil conditioning agent in

agriculture; crushed stone for ballast and filler in concrete and asphalt; as rectangular slab in

lithography. The whiting (chalk and precipitated limestone) is used as a filler in rubber, oil

cloth, paint, cosmetic, tooth paste, shoe polish, etc. Limestone is also used in underground

mine dusting to prevent the propagation of explosions.

Lime is prepared by heating limestone in kilns up to 1000OC. The CO2released is effluxed

and 'quicklime' (CaO) formed remains as hard white lumps. This when slaked with water and

mixed with sand, forms mortar or plaster. Commonly, the commercial lime is prepared as dry

hydrated lime Ca(OH)2 by adding to quicklime just the right amount of water (18 parts to 56

parts of CaO). The value of lime for most purposes depends upon its CaO (or CaO + MgO)

content. The manufacture of metallic calcium is one of the latest uses of lime. Calcium is

used in reducing organic compounds, de-sulphuring, petroleum, debismuthising lead

production of hard lead alloys and calcium-silicon alloys, and in the manufacture of calcium

hydride which is further used as an efficient hydrogen carrier.

Lime-shell is used mainly in Chemical and White cement Industries. It is also used in the

manufacture of poly-fibre and in Tanning industry. Lime kankar is used in Cement Industry.

The Reject Stone will be used as OB, building material and road metal for infrastructure

development.

2.3.3 Demand and Supply Gap

The production of limestone in 2016-17 at 313.2 million tonnes increased by about 2% as

compared to that of the previous year. There were 771 reporting mines in 2016-17 as

against 807 during the previous year. Twenty seven mines each producing more than 3

million tonnes per annum contributed 42% of the total production of limestone in 2016-17.

The share of 15 mines each in the production range of 2 to 3 million tonnes was 11% of the

total production. 24% of the total production was contributed by 54 mines each producing 1

to 2 million tonnes annually. The remaining 23% of the total production was reported by 673

mines and two associated mines during the year. Twenty five principal producers contributed

about 77% of the total production. About 3.3% of the production was reported by public

sector mines as against 4% in the previous year.

About 97% of the total production of limestone during 2016-17 was of cement grade 2% of

iron & steel grade and the rest 1% consisted of chemical grade. Rajasthan was the leading

producing state accounting for (21%) of the total production of limestone, followed by

Madhya Pradesh & Andhra Pradesh (11% each), Chhattisgarh & Karnataka (10% each),

Gujarat, Tamil Nadu & Telangana (8% each), Maharashtra & Himachal Pradesh (4% each),


2


Page 8

and the remaining 5% was contributed by Meghalaya, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Assam,

Jharkhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala and Bihar. (Source: Indian mineral year book 2017)

2.3.4 Imports V/s indigenous production

In 2016-17 import of limestone was 17.8 million tonnes. Limestone was mainly imported from

UAE (80.25%), Oman (12.44%), Malayasia (2.47%),Vietnam (1.79%) & Iran (1.76%). As per

the foreign trade policy 2015-20, the import of limestone, lime kankar, lime shell and chalk

are free. Imports of limestone increased to 17.18 million tonnes in 2015-16 from 13.94

million tonnes in the previous year.

(Source: Indian mineral year book 2017)

2.3.5 Export possibility

Lessee would consume the limestone for its own cement plant, hence, no export possibility.

2.3.6 Domestic/Exports Markets

The limestone is produced from existing Limestone Mine is for captive use in the Jaypee

Rewa Cement Plant. Thus the mineral will not be sold in the open market.

2.3.7 Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project

About 69 persons are employed. There will be no further influx of people except those who

have been appointed as skilled workers or managers.

3.5 Project description with process details (a schematic

diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of

the project etc. should be given)

Brief description of ML1:

The method of mining is opencast working with formation of benches by fully mechanized

means.

All mining parameters including mineable reserves, recovery ratio, phase wise development

of mine and development of resources, layout of mine pits and selection area for year wise

development and blending of different grade of limestone at face itself from different mining

benches .


The method of mining is also opencast working with formation of benches by fully

mechanized means.




benches.

Page 11

In order to expose the usable formation of Lower grey limestone (LGL) the area for removal

of overburden comprises of OBS & NDS. The overburden benches are kept at least 25 m

ahead from limestone benches. The height of benches is kept below 9 Mtrs at any place.

The overburden soil is excavated with the help of pay loader/ excavator and transported by

18/20 t capacity dumpers to the temporary OB dumping.

The hard waste rock are dealt with using drilling and blasting technique and handled with the

fleet of machinery mentioned above and transported to the mined out area for backfilling.

There are some electric lines passing through the mining lease area. These electric lines will

be removed/ shifted before the mining operation at respective locations.


In order to expose usable formation in the area, removal of overburden is planned. During

planning, efforts have been made to keep overburden free area ahead of limestone

benches. For meeting the limestone requirement of the LGL formation have been planned

under usable category while OBS have been treated under the category of overburden

To meet the requirement of JRP plant about 4.5-5.6 Million Tonnes of Limestone shall be

required from the combinedely from Bankuiyan Limestone Mines & Naubasta Limestone

Mines. Out of this requirement of Limestone in JRP, partial requirement i.e. an average

quantity @ 1.6 Mio Tonnes is fulfilled from Bankuiyan Limestone Mines on combined basis

which is fulfilled from the present M.L. areas and balance quantity of limestone is supplied

from other lease areas.

For meeting out total requirement of Cement plant, all three ML areas are being worked

simultaneously & accordingly based on different quality available at different places / leases

the pits are developed to take care of requirement.

For the present mining scheme, the working area in the mine has been selected in

continuation to the existing faces advancing towards the North East & North West directions.

3.6 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely

source, marketing area of final products/s, Mode of transport of

raw Material and Finished Product.

No raw material will be required for production of Limestone

The mineral “Limestone” raised from this mine will not be sold but will be solely for the

captive use of the JAL cement plant.

The mineral will be transported by road to the crusher located at captive Naubasta LS Mine

& Jaypee Rewa Cement Plant and from there limestone is transported to Jaypee Rewa

Cement Plant by Belt Conveyor.

3.7 Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the

project, if any, should be briefly outlined.

Water will be accumulated in the excavated mine out pit area during rains and pits serve as

a natural ground water recharging structure. As a result of extraction of mineral, the rate of

charging of ground water is likely to be increased considerably. Water collected in the sump

will be used in various purposes at mine viz. plantation, dust suppression etc.

3.8 Availability of water its source, Energy/power requirement and

source should be given

Total water requirement in the mine will be about 200 KLD for drinking & domestic use, dust

suppression and plantation. Mine sump water is used for dust suppression and plantation i.e.

190KLD. The rain water will be collected in the mine sump which will be used for dust

suppression and plantation purpose. Remaining 10KLD collected form ground.

Diesel is used as motive source of primary energy for mine machinery. Diesel is used in

compressor, HEMMs and dumpers.

3.9 Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme

for their management/disposal

3.9.1 The nature & quality of top soil over burden/waste and mineral rejects

likely to be generated during next 5 years

3.9.1.1 Top soil:

The overburden / rejects of the area comprises of Soil (OBS), Middle Shale (MSH) and part

of Nodular shale. The rock formation of the area shows general strike of ENE-WSW & gentle

southerly dip varying from 10 to 70.

3.9.1.2 Over Burden & Mine Waste:

In order to expose usable limestone formation, the area for removal of overburden has been

selected with help of CADE&QSO software. The overburden to be removed is comprised of

Soil (OBS), Middle Shale (MSH) and part of Nodular shale (OB: NDS) in individual benches.

3.9.2 Land chosen for disposal of waste with proposed justification:

In order to reclaim the mined out area, it is planned to backfill the waste in the mined out

area. The reclamation procedure includes backfilling or disposing the hard waste at the

bottom and spreading a thin soil cover over the matured backfilling yard for onward

plantation/ cultivation activity. The balance mined out area shall be rehabilitated by

developing water reservoir.


3


Page 14

3.9.3 Manner of disposal & configuration:

For ML1 Land degradation is one of the major adverse impacts of opencast mining activities,

and any effort to control adverse impacts would be incomplete without appropriate land

reclamation strategy. The reclamation strategy will include the programme to reclaim

abandoned benches and backfilling of excavated area. The backfilling will be carried to

cover the maximum mined out area and followed by tree plantation.

The limestone: overburden ratio in the area is 1:0.25 and hence, the overburden is planned

to be backfilled in the mined out area having highest floor levels so that most of the area

could be backfilled. With this arrangement maximum mined out area shall be reclaimed up

to the pre-mining levels. The balance mined out area shall be rehabilitated with the

development of water reservoir.

The year wise programme of excavation and waste generation and limestone handling from

2014-15 to 2018-19 is given in the following table:-

For ML2 It was proposed in the approved mining scheme that the waste so generated while

mining shall be disposed off in the mined out pit in a sequential manner. The hard

overburden shall be put at the bottom of the backfilling and OBS will be finally spread over

the top of backfilled area. The matured backfilling after proper compaction will then be taken

under plantation activities.

For ML3,the mining lease area considered for exploitation is comprised of lower grey

limestone formation bearing area. This limestone is confined to 48.613 ha of the mining

lease area; rest of the non-mineralised area will not be disturbed by mining activity. It is

envisaged that about 45.000 ha will be disturbed by the mining activity during the life of the

deposit out of this during first 5 years of operations about 25.763 ha area will be disturbed,

which includes the mined out void, area under exploitation, position of various benches

quarry roads, dump/back filled area. Out of 28.000 ha, about 9.053 ha will be backfilled and

rest of the area will remain void for movement of machineries. While at the final stage of

mining operation, about 21.000 ha area shall be backfilled up to the pre-mining surface level,

while the rest of the area will be converted into water reservoir.

The land area likely to be degraded during first five year period for different mining activity

has been given in the table below:

4.3 Topography

The Bankuiyan Limestone Mine occupies a vast flat plain with very gentle undulations in-

between. The present topographic configuration of the plain probably represents the end

stage of the cycle of erosion.

The highest elevation within the lease hold is 332 m above MSL, while, the lowest elevation

seen is 285 above MSL. Apart from the above said plain no other topographic feature is

seen within the lease hold. Few seasonal streams originates from the lease hold and merge

with the larger feeder channels, the Karihari river lying to the West of the area and the Bihar

Nadi which lies to the east.

5 PLANNING BRIEF

5.1 Planning concept (type of industries, facilities, transportation etc)

Town and country Planning/Development authority Classification

The Bankuiyan limestone mine is a captive mine of JRP for supplying limestone for

manufacturing cement. The mine is already under operation. There is no change in the

method of mining as proposed in the mining plan.

In order to meet the partial raw material requirement of JRP, about 1.0 to 1.6 million.T of

limestone shall be met from the Bankuiyan limestone mine.

In ML1 order to expose the usable formation of Lower grey limestone (LGL) the area for

removal of overburden comprises of OBS & NDS. The overburden benches are kept at least

25 m ahead from limestone benches. The height of benches is kept below 9 m at any

place. The overburden soil is excavated with the help of pay loader/ excavator and

transported by 25/35 t capacity dumpers to the matured waste dumps for spreading about

0.50 – 2.0m thick layer on it.



In the case of ML2 the method of mining is opencast working with formation of benches by

fully mechanized means.

In the case of ML3 order to expose usable formation in the area, removal of overburden is

planned. During planning, efforts have been made to keep overburden free area ahead of

limestone benches. For meeting the limestone requirement of the LGL formation have been

planned under usable category while OBS have been treated under the category of

overburden.

For meeting out total requirement of Cement plant, all three ML areas are being worked

simultaneously & accordingly based on different quality available at different places / leases

the pits are developed to take care of requirement.

6 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

6.1 Industrial Area (Processing Area)

Some of the infrastructure facilities available for mines are Mines office, Garage cum

Workshop, Explosive Magazine, ANFO Storage shed, ANFO Mixing Shed, Rest Shelter,

Latrine / Urinals, First Aid Station / Room, VT Center, Fire fighting station, Site store, Fuel

dispensing pumps, communication common for all three block of mine lease.

6.2 Resident Area (Non Processing Area)

No residential area is proposed. It is an operating mine, permanent staff is residing in

existing township of Jaypee Rewa Cement Plant

6.3 Afforestation:

The soil will be utilised for spreading over the back filled areas on which afforestation will be

done. Leguminous grass seeds or herbaceous species would be sown on the inactive slopes

for protection against erosion and to prevent runoff and wash off due to rains.

6.4 Social Infrastructure

This Project is providing employment to local people directly and indirectly. Indirect

employers are shopkeepers, mechanic, drivers, transporters etc. The lessee is providing

better social infrastructure benefits such as drinking water, health care measures,

educational facilities, promotion of culture and religious activities in surroundings.

6.5 Connectivity (Traffic and transportation Road/Rail/Metro/Water

ways etc)

The applied area by road is about 9.5 km from District Headquarter Rewa (M.P.). The

nearest railway station is Rewa Railway station at a distance of about 8.5 km .The applied

area is connected by NH-7.

6.6 Drinking Water Management (Source & supply of water)

Water requirement of the project is about 200 KLD. Mine water requirement 190 KLD is met

from the mine water reservoir & domestic water requirement 10 KLD is met from ground

source.

6.7 Industrial Waste Management

6.7.1 Solid waste Management

For ML1, ML2-It is planned to dispose the overburden generated from the faces for

backfilling in a scientific manner by first dumping hard rock at the bottom. After proper

compaction and maturation, OBS will be finally spread over the top of backfilled surface. The

backfilled area will than be rehabilitated by afforestation activity.

The overburden backfilled area shall be protected from soil erosion and siltation by making a

bund with drainage system all around the periphery of dump yard .The slope of the backfilled

area shall also be covered by grass and plantation. The active backfilled area and planted

area shall be kept connected by developing approach roads and short ramps as per the

convenience.

For ML3-It is planned that the overburden removed in the form of OBS will be backfilled in

the mined out area as shown in year wise pit layout plan. After compaction and maturation of

backfilled area, topsoil will be spreaded over the backfilled surface, which will finally be taken

under plantation activity.

As already explained, in the present Scheme of Mining the overburden formation in the area

is OBS. The OB generated during the first year will be dumped temporarily in the non-

mineralised area covering 1.21 ha. This dump will be re-handled during 3rd year and the

material will be accommodated in the backfilling yard along with the 3rd year OB generated.

The overburden generated from the individual mine faces from second year onwards will be

accommodated in the mined out area simultaneously.

6.7.2 Power Requirement

Power is required for only lighting purpose at office which is met from MPEB

7 REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT(R&R PLAN)

7.1 Policy to adopted (Central State) in respect of the project

affected person including home outsees, land outsees and

landless labour

The mine area does not cover any habitation. Hence the mining activity does not involve any

displacement of human settlement. No public buildings, places, monuments etc exist within

the lease area or in the vicinity of the mine lease area. The mining operation will not disturb/

relocate any village or need resettlement. Thus no adverse impact is anticipated.
