7.0 Method of Mining

Proposed river bed mining is for extracting sand from Banas river bed. As per RMMC

Rules, 1986 extraction is limited to 3.0 m depth only from the surface area. River bed is

dry. Lease area allotted is 802.38 ha in tehsil & district – Sawai Madhopur. However,

there are intervening patches of land falling in the river bed and reserved as grazing land

as per the description list supplied by Assistant Mining Engineer, DMG Department,

Tonk. Total length of the area as per the description report stretches in the length of

32.80 km. However, two patches each of 4.8 km and 10.2 km length (total 15.0 km) have

been earmarked as grazing land, prohibited for mining activity. No mining activity will be

carried out in these prohibited areas, enclosed as Annexure –I.

Effective length of lease area for wining of mineral is 17.80 km. The area is further

divided in three blocks for ease of operation as the lease area is not in one stretch. Total

15

production envisaged is 8,000 TPD. Activities will be carried out as per the production

schedule given earlier. These blocks will be working as self sustained units with all

facilities like site office, rest shelter, first aid and drinking water etc. All these blocks will

be connected suitably with communication system.

Light weight excavators will be deployed for extraction. Mineral will be removed in 3.0 m

layer only forming one bench. This is as per the digging depth of the equipments.

Mineral will be loaded in trucks of 20 tons capacity. There will be no OB/waste

generation as the bajri is exposed in the river bed.

Bench will advance parallel to the banks of the river. Height of bench will be 3.0 m.

Width of the bench will be around 20.0 m. Workings will be restricted within the lease

area/ khasras as per the description report. Mining activities will be carried out in a

manner so that there is no obstruction to the movement of water flow, if any, during rainy

season. The bench will be in the form of slices/ strips parallel to the banks of the river.

Roads in the lease area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes

more than 1 in 20. However, movement of trucks after mineral loading will be towards

both sides through approach roads connecting to tar roads. Every block will have its own

approach roads, well connected to main highways.

7.1 Proposed year wise development for five years

Bajri lease is proposed to be granted for a period of five years only. Calendar plan has

already been made and details have been given. Sequence of operation has been

depicted in Plate No – 06 (A) & 06 (B).

Ultimate limit will be 3.0 m below surface RL as indicated in the working section.

7.3 Mineable reserves and anticipated life of the mine

Lease period is of 5 years only as per RMMCR (Amendment) 1986 after extraction of

targeted production appreciable quantity of mineral will be available for future. During

rainy season there is some replenishment of the mineral, which helps in sustaining the

production.

Estimated Minable reserves up to 3.0 m available are = 23.04 MM3

Anticipated production during lease period will be = 7.80 MM3

7.4 Proposed method of mining

Mining activity will be carried out by open cast semi-mechanized method.

� Light weight excavators will be used for loading of mineral in tippers.

� No OB/ waste material will be produced.

� No drilling/ blasting is required as the material is loose in nature.

� Proper benching of not more than 3.0 m height will be maintained.

� Roads will be properly made and sprayed for suppression of dust.

� Roads in the lease area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes

more than 1 in 20.

� Total extent of lease is 32.80 km including prohibited area.

� Extraction activities will start in the blocks from the upstream side to downstream side.

This will not obstruct the movement of water, if any, during monsoon period in the river

course.

� Approach roads from the various blocks as already described earlier will be merging with

permanent tar roads on both sides of the river for transportation of the mineral to final

destinations.

7.5 Conceptual Mining Plan

Mine lease area will be worked in blocks for ease of operation. However, as the digging

depth will be restricted to 3.0 m only, material will still be available below. This will be

further replenished to some extends during rainy season. Blocks will be worked

systematically as the width is limited while length is much more. Sequence of working

has been shown on Plate no – 06 (A) & 06(B) of working plan and sections. As the

lease period is only 5 years, some of the area will be left un-worked at the end of lease

period.

17

(i) Final Slope Angle To Be Adopted

Thickness of the bench is limited to 3.0 m only and width is 20.0 m. River bank side will be

protected by 7.5 m offset. Bank side natural slope will not be disturbed. This will prevent

collapse of bank and erosion. However, the height of the bank with respect to river bed is

varying from 4.0 to 6.0 m only.

(ii) During plan period workings will be carried out in the blocks of the lease area

simultaneously. Scattered workings will ensure safety, remove congestion of vehicles

and will have better control and management.

(iii) Ultimate Capacity Of Dumps

There will be no OB removal and waste generation during the plan period. No dumping

area is needed. No outside material will be filled up in the extracted zone.

There is no flow of water in the river bed in post monsoon period .Area is having 622 mm

rainfall in a year. During rainy season, catchment water flows in the river. During dry

period the Bajri is excavated which gets replenished to some extent during this period.

There will be no intersection of water table as working will be carried out upto 3.0 m

depth only from surface of river bed while the water level is 8.0 m below the surface of

river bed.

Some wells are located in the river bed feeding water to nearby villages. These wells will

be protected. No excavation will be extended within 45.0 m of these wells.

8.0 Year wise annual programme of mining for next 5 years

Bajri mineral is targeted for 8,000 tons per day i.e. 2.24 MMT per annum (maximum). As

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

10.0 Measures taken and to be taken for Land Restoration, Reclamation and

Plantation in/ or nearby Lease Area

� Envisaged mining operation will be carried out in the Banas river bed spreading in

802.38 ha area. This will be dry bed mining as there is no flow of water in the bed

except during rainy season when the activities will be stopped.

� Besides resource extraction, following activities will be kept in view:

a) Protection and restoration of ecological system

b) Prevent damages to the river regime

c) Protect riverine configuration such as bank erosion, change of water course

gradient, flow regime etc.

d) Prevent contamination of ground water

Safeguard Measures

While carrying out mining activity following measures will be taken:

� Mining activities will be carried out only in dry bed. No in stream mining will be

practiced.

� An offset of 7.5 m from the banks will be kept. This is to protect the bank erosion and

river migration.

� Mineral Bajri from river will be restricted to a maximum depth of 3.0 m from the bed

surface or up to water level whichever is earlier.

� As the lease area is quite large and long in length, systematic extraction will be carried

out to prevent seasonal scouring and enhanced erosion.

� Extraction will be carried out in a manner that there is no obstruction to flow of water, if

any, during rainy season.

20

� Simultaneously 45.0.0 m radius around the well located in the river bed will not have

any mining activity.

� Mining on the concave side of the river channel should be avoided to prevent bank

erosion. Similarly meandering segment of river will be selected to prevent natural

eroding banks and to promote mining on natural building (aggrading) meanders

component

Reclamation of Mined Out Area

There is no generation of OB/ waste material. No backfilling has been proposed in the

excavated zone. River to some extent will be replenished by sediments during rainy

season.

Greenbelt

The lease area is in the river bed and devoid of any vegetation. Mining activities will

not cause any harm to riparian vegetation cover as the working will not extend beyond

the 7.5 m offset left against the banks in the river. Land on both sides is the private

agriculture land. Link road from the active zone pass through the areas. It is proposed

to have plantation on both sides of the roads as greenbelt to provide cover against

dust dissemination. Plantation will also be carried out as social forestry programme in

villages, school and the areas allocated by the Panchayat/ State authorities.

Native plants like Neem, Pipal, Khejri, Mango and other local species will be planted. A

suitable combination of trees that can grow fast and also have good leaf cover shall be

adopted to develop the greenbelt. It is proposed to plant 9,100 no’s of native species

along with some fruit bearing and medicinal trees during the plan period.

11.0 Measures taken and to be taken for Protection of Environment in and

around Mining Lease Area

� Dry bed mining will be carried out only.

� Mining activities will be confined to 3.0 m depth from surface level of river bed.

21

� All link roads from the mining area to the tar road will be properly sprayed with water for

dust suppression.

� Greenbelt and plantation on road side will help in dust suppression and will also reduce

noise level.

� Plantation will improve ecology and aesthetic beauty of the area

� Measures will be taken to prevent the workings from crossing safety zones, cutting the

banks and exceeding 3.0 m depth limit from the river bed surface.

12.0 Measures taken and to be taken for dumping overburden, stacking of top

soil and utilization of top soil

There is no topsoil in the lease area. No overburden and waste is likely to be generated

during lease period. There will be neither any stacking of soil nor creation of OB dumps.

13.0 Measures taken and to be taken for the control of water, noise and air

pollution

Air Pollution:

Emission of gases and dust takes place due to movement of vehicles. Spraying of water

and plantation along the road side prevents the spread of dust. Plantation also acts as

barrier for restricting pollution. Impact on air environment has been assessed taking in to

consideration the proposed production and increase emissions. The sources of air

pollution are given below:

� Operation of mining machinery/ loading operations

� Transportation of mineral

� Wind erosion from barren area and river bed

Air pollutants released during production can be checked by:

� Dust suppression system/ water spraying would be adopted at mine working and

loading points

� Excavation operations to be suspended during very strong wind conditions

� Afforestation will be carried out for control of dust

� Plantation with wide canopy trees along approach road will help in dust

suppression

� Persons to be provided with dust mask and other personal protective equipments

,particularly during summer months and dust storm periods

22

Transportation

� Regular water spraying on haulage roads during mineral transportation by water

sprinklers,

� Avoid over loading of tippers & consequent spillage on the roads,

� Mineral carrying trucks will be effectively covered by tarpaulin to avoid escape of

fines to atmosphere,

� Air quality shall be regularly monitored both in the core zone and the buffer zone.

Controlling of NOx level

The source of NOx is due to vehicular emission. This can be controlled by proper

maintenance and servicing of vehicles.

Only P.U.C. certificated vehicles will be permitted

Noise Pollution

There is no drilling and blasting for mineral extraction. Noise pollution due to

transportation will not cause any problem to the inhabitants of this area because there is

no human settlement in close proximity to the link roads in lease area.

Effective steps will be taken to keep the noise level well below the DGMS prescribed

limit of 85 dBA.

Noise control is achieved by the following:

• Proper care and maintenance of the equipments will be carried out.

• Personal protective equipments will be provided to the workers.

(E) METHOD OF MINING:

River bed mining is for extracting sand from Banas river bed. As per RMMC Rules, 1986

extraction is limited to 3.0 m depth only from the river bed surface or above water level

whichever is earlier. Proposed lease area is 802.38 ha (excluding prohibited area) in

tehsil & district – Sawai Madhopur. However, there are intervening patches of land falling

in the river bed and reserved as grazing land as per the description list supplied by

Assistant Mining Engineer, DMG Department, Tonk. Total length of the area as per the

description report stretches in the length of 32.80 km. However, two patches each of 4.8

km and 10.2 km length (total 15.0 km) have been earmarked as grazing land, prohibited

for mining activity. No mining activity will be carried out in these prohibited areas,

enclosed as Annexure –I.

Effective length of lease area for mining of mineral is 17.80 km. The area is further

divided in three blocks for ease of operation as the lease area is not in one stretch. Total

production envisaged is 8,000 TPD. Activities will be carried out as per the production

schedule given earlier. These blocks will be working as self sustained units with all

facilities like site office, rest shelter, first aid and drinking water etc. All these blocks will

be connected suitably with communication system.

Light weight excavators will be deployed for extraction. Mineral will be removed in 3.0 m

layer only forming one bench. This is as per the digging depth of the equipments.

Mineral will be loaded in trucks of 20 tons capacity. There will be no OB or waste

generation as the sand is exposed in the river bed.

Bench will advance parallel to the banks of the river. Height of bench will be 3.0 m.

Width of the bench will be around 20.0 m. Workings will be restricted within the lease

area/ khasras as per the description report. Mining activities will be carried out in a

manner so that there is no obstruction to the movement of water flow, if any, during rainy

season. The bench will be in the form of slices/ strips parallel to the banks of the river.

Roads in the lease area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes

more than 1 in 20. However, movement of trucks after mineral loading will be towards

both sides through approach roads connecting to tar roads. Every block will have its own

approach roads, well connected to main highways.

(F) MINERAL PROCESSING OPERATION:

No mineral processing is envisaged for Bajri (minor mineral) .

1.1 Reasons for closure: The progressive mine closure plan has been prepared in compliance of Rule

37B, 37E (6), 37G of Rajasthan Minor Mineral Concession (2nd Amendment) Rules 2012

under MMCR 1986. No immediate closure is planned as sufficient reserves are available

to carry on the activities. There is market potential in domestic demands.

1.2 Statutory Obligations:

The lessee is bound to submit the Progressive mine closure plan either with Mining

plan or Scheme of Mining.

Lessee is bound to follow the terms and conditions as will be stipulated in the lease

deed.

In addition to it the rules pertaining to the Protection of Environment i.e Environment

Act. Environment Rules and other associated rules for the protection of environment

have to be followed.

2.0 Mine Description

2.1 General Geology and Local Geology

2.1.1 Regional Geology

Sawai Madhopur terrain is mostly formed by pre-Cambrian metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary rocks belonging to Pre-Aravalli & Vindhyanas. Pre Aravalli rock units comprising quartzite, mica, schist, gneiss and migmatite cover the north western part of the district between Lalsot and west of Bayana. The rocks of Vindhyan Super Group are represented by Rewa, Kaimur, Sand and Satola Group in increasing order of antiquity. These rocks occupy the eastern part of the district and are separated from the older rocks by a major reverse fault, The Great Boundary Fault. A major part of the district is

28

occupied by the thick alluvium related to the various river systems. The geological succession of the district is given:-

2.1.2 Local Geology

Soil/ alluvium varying in thickness from 3.0 to 8.0 m constitute the top horizons in the

area suitable for agriculture. Banas river meanders through the area exposing the

alluvium and soil at the banks. Hard rock is exposed at places along the banks in the

proposed lease area. Bajri is found in the river bed. This bed is presently dry and flows

only during the rainy season. Geological map and section is enclosed as Plate 05 (A) &

05(B).

In Sawai Madhopur district Bajri is obtained from river bed of Banas.

rainfall in a year. During rainy season, catchment water flows in the river. During dry

period the Bajri is excavated which gets replenished to some extent during this period.

There will be no intersection of water table as working will be carried out upto 3.0 m

depth only from surface of river bed while the water level is 8.0 m below the surface of

river bed.

Some wells are located in the river bed feeding water to nearby villages. These wells will

be protected. No excavation will be extended within 45.0 m of these wells.

32

4.3 Air Quality Management:

The proposed mining method is not likely to produce much of dust and fugitive emissions

to cause damage to ambient air quality of the area. Workers will be provided with

personnel protective equipment like face mask, ear plug/ muffs.

33

conspicuous places and in particular near mine entries.

vii. Danger signs shall be displayed near the excavations.

viii. Security guards will be posted.

ix. In the event of temporary closer, approaches will be fenced off and notice displayed.

4.10 DISATER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT:

This should deal with action plan for high risk accidents like landslides,

subsidence, flood, inundation in underground mines, fire, seismic activities,

tailing dam failures etc. and emergency plan proposed for quick evacuation,

ameliorative measures to be taken etc. The capability of lessee to meet such

eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local authorities should

be described.

� The shallow depth of activities in river bed mining does not involve any high risk accident

due to side falls/collapse.

� The complete mining operation will be carried out under the Management and control of

experienced and qualified Mines Manager having Certificate of Competency to manage

the mines granted by DGMS.

� All the provisions of Mines Act 1952, MMR 1961 and Mines Rules 1955 and other laws

applicable to mine will strictly be complied with.

� All persons in supervisory capacity will be provided with proper communication facilities.

� Competent persons will be given first aid training and provided with first aid kits which

they will always carry while on duty.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE DURING TEMPORARY DISCONTINUANCE:

In case of any temporary discontinuance due to court order or due to statutory

requirement or any other unforeseen circumstance following measures shall be taken for

care, maintenance and monitoring of conditions.

� Notice of temporary discontinuance of work in mine shall be given to the DGMS as

per the MMR 1961.

� All the mining machinery shall be shifted to a safe place.

� Entrance to the mines or part of the mines to be discontinued shall be fenced off.

Fencing shall be as per the circular 11/1959 from DGMS.

� Security Guards shall be posted for the safety and to restrict any unauthorized entry

Fencing on approach roads,

Checking and maintenance of machines and equipment,

Drinking water arrangements,

Mine office, first aid stations etc.

� Competent persons shall inspect the area regularly.

� Air, water and other environmental monitoring shall be carried out as per CPCB and

IBM Guideline.

� Care and upkeep of plantation shall be carried out on regular basis.

� Status of the working and status monitoring for re-opening of the mines shall be

discussed daily.

In case of discontinuance due to any natural calamities/abnormal conditions, mining

operation will be restarted as early as possible after completing rescue work, restoring

safety and security, repairs of roads etc.

5.0 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSION OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND MANPOWER

RETRENCHMENTS

Lease area will be given for a period of five years only. As per the production

programme envisaged, at the end of lease period, still sufficient un-worked area would

be left available for continuing production activities further. Hence, no closure is planned.

There will be no affect on the man power as the persons belong to nearby villages and

will have an option either to be available for employment for the next contract/ lease or

do the agriculture in their fields.

6.0 TIME SCHEDULING FOR ABANDONMENT

The lease area has enormous potential for continuance of operations even after the

expiry of the awarded period. The details of time schedule of all abandonment will be

given at the time of final closer plan. Mining activities are confined to river bed, up to 3.0

m. depth, relatively shallow depth of workings. Partial replenishment of the bajri being

removed from the river bed is a natural process particularly during monsoon periods.

Proposed lease period is 5 years only.

35

7.0 ABANDONMENT COST

As at present mining is not going to be closed so abandonment cost could not be

assessed at the present time. However based on the progressive mine closure activities
