Availability of Water Energy etc- Requirement of water for dust suppression 1.0 KLPD & drinking purpose 0.2 KLPD collected in pit head. power is required Name of Mineral mined : Sand 8. Rate of Production (in tons) : M 3 /Annum 9. Mineral Reserve in Million Tons : For estimation of reserve of sand deposit following parameters have been considered:- 1. Area of sand lease 6.5 Hectare 2. Area of Sand deposit6.5 hectare 3. Thickness of quarriable sand deposit : 3 meter 4. Tonnage factor of sand tones per cubic meter: 1.7 tones Calculation of available volume of sand- Volume = Area x Thickness (Volume) m3 = 6.5 H x 3 m = 65000m 2 x 3m = m 3 Quantity of sand = volume x tonnage factor = x 1.7 = Tones Thus 3.31 lakh tones sand will be available every year. The lessee is allowed to excavate m 3 sand per annum. This is equal to 2.55 lakh tones of sand every year. 10. Life of mine : Life time 11. Drilling/Blasting: Since sand deposits are loose, drilling and blasting is not required. Page.- 13

14 12. Mining method: Quarrying of sand will be carried out by opencast working method. All the operations of opencast working will be manual. Salient details of sand quarrying are as below- 1. Excavation of sand will be done manually with the help of tools such as spade, belcha, Tagadi etc. 2. Excavation will be limited up to 3 m depth bgl or up to top of ground water table, whichever is less. 3. excavation will be done below water table. 4. excavation is permitted within 100 m from a bridge or highway. In the present case there is no such bridge and road within 100 m from the quarry boundary. 5. Excavation is to be done after leaving a peripheral belt within lease all around the lease boundary. 6. In view of annual replenishment of sand deposit after floods and rains it is advisable to start excavation from downstream. In the present case excavation should be done from north to south so that alluvial load coming with flood water from south gets deposited in the pits in the north direction. 7. It is proposed to excavate tons (150000m 3 ) of sand annually. This is possible from the estimated reserve of lakh tones, which is replenishable every year. 8. Excavation will be done in dry season where sand bed is sufficiently exposed and river water level lowers down. 9. Aquatic life will be saved. Sand excavation will be carried out as per various conditions stipulated by SEIAA Chhattisgarh in their letter dated ) 13. Ground water table Intersection : Ground water table is 3 m deep in rainy season and 8 m deep in summer season. Summer water table in river is 5 m below quarry surface. 14. Drainage pattern/water courses : The proposed Mining site drains through the first order drains originating through the lease area for quarrying. The Mahanadi River joins Bay of Bengal after flowing through Chhattisgarh and Orissa. The quarrying area is located in Mahanadi River bed. There is no impact likely to be caused on the draining pattern and the surface water quality due to operation of the quarrying. There is no impact possible from flooding of the nearest water body. Page.- 14

15 15. Break-up of Land Utilization pattern : The pit excavated on river bed sand deposit in dry season will get refilled during rainy season due to inflow of sediments loaded with flood water. This is annual incidence happening in every year in rainy season. Because of this natural replenishment there is no need of reclamation in river bed sand quarrying operation. 16. Water requirement & Source : Daily requirement of water will be 1.0 KLPD for dust suppression and 0.2 KLPD for drinking purpose in pit head. 17. Solid waste/tailings : Solid waste generated in the process of sand Quarrying. 18. Cost of project (Rs. in Lakhs) : 1.50 Lakh 19.

The mining activities as proposed are the backbone of all construction and infrastructure projects as the raw material for construction is available only from such mining. Sand and boulder excavated is in high demand at the local market for real estate industry. This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society/economically backward population and tribal s in the area. It provides employment to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly. The mine management will also help nearby villages by providing aid to school, conducting medical and social awareness camps, helping in formation of self help groups, etc. Thus the project will bring about socio-economic improvement of the area and will prove beneficial to the area.

27 In Pitaiband area development of infrastructure is noticed by good connectivity, electrification good network of telephone/cell phone. Beside these facilities for schooling, Hospital and drinking water supply is also available in the area. 27

28 CHAPTER 03 TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY 3.1 TOPOGRAPHY: The area of Pitaiband and its surroundings is a part of Chhattisgarh plains. Its land from show flood plain formed by alluvial deposit along Mahanadi on underlying rocks of Charmuriya formation. General elevation of the area is 280 m above msl. Topography of the area has been derived due to alluvial deposition on the flood plains of river Mahanadi and its tributaries like Pairi and other rivers. General slope of the area is from south to north. The drainage pattern in the area is dendritic. 3.2 GENERAL GEOLOGICAL SETTING This area is Central part of Chhattisgarh basin where rocks of Charmuria Formation comprising mainly flaggy limestone shale are occurring below thick alluvial cover. Sand deposit is a part of this alluvial cover. 28

29 CHAPTER 04 RESERVE 4.1 DETAILS OF LEASE AREA The quarry lease is 6.5 hectare. The area is 325m long and 200m wide. The quarry area occupies the Mahanadi river bed. Flow of the river is from south to north. The lease is along the eastern bank of the river. The width of the lease starts beyond 60 to 120m from the bank of river. Bank of the river is nearly 2 to 3m high and is occupied by alluvial soil. Deposit of sand is noticeable extensively across entire width of Mahanadi which is about 1.5 KM at Pitaiband. The eastern bank of the river has thick alluvial cover. 4.2 EXTENT AND NATURE OF SAND DEPOSIT The sand quarry lease area is elongated along the course of river Mahanadi at its eastern bank. The deposit of sand is available on full width and length of the lease. Accumulation of the sand deposit on the river bed is annual process. It is replenishable due to sediment inflow during floods in rainy season. Thus out of 6.5 hectare quarry lease entire area contains the sand deposit. Thickness of sand bed deposited every year will be 6 meter. But excavation of sand is permitted up to 3m depth up to top level of water table whichever is less. Hear the summer water table goes down to 6m below surface. Hence sand can be extracted up to 3m depth in dry season. 4.3 RESERVE OF SAND DEPOSIT For estimation of reserve of sand deposit following parameters have been considered:- 5. Area of sand lease : 6.5 Hectare 6. Area of Sand deposit : 6.5 hectare 7. Thickness of quarriable sand deposit : 3 meter 8. Tonnage factor of sand tones per cubic meter: 1.7 tones Calculation of available volume of sand- Volume = Area x Thickness (Volume) m3 = 6.5 H x 3 m = 65000m 2 x 3M = M 3 Quantity of sand 29 = volume x tonnage factor = x 1.7 = Tones

30 Thus lakh tones sand will be available every year. The lessee is allowed to excavate M 3 sand per annum. This is equal to 2.55 lakh tones of sand every year. 4.4 METHOD OF REMOVAL OF SAND RESERVE Removal of sand will be carried out by opencast working method. All the operations of opencast working will be manual. Salient details of sand quarrying are as below- 10. Excavation of sand will be done manually with the help of tools such as spade, belcha, Tagadi etc. 11. Excavation will be limited up to 3 m depth bgl or up to top of ground water table, whichever is less. 12. excavation will be done below water table. 13. excavation is permitted within 100 m from a bridge or highway. In the present case there is no such bridge and road within 100 m from the quarry boundary. 14. Excavation is to be done after leaving a peripheral belt within lease all around the lease boundary. 15. In view of annual replenishment of sand deposit after floods and rains it is advisable to start excavation from downstream. In the present case excavation should be done from north to south so that alluvial load coming with flood water from south gets deposited in the pits in the north direction. 16. It is proposed to excavate M 3 of sand annually. This is possible from the estimated reserve of M 3, which is replenishable every year. 17. Excavation will be done in dry season where sand bed is sufficiently exposed and river water level lowers down. 18. Aquatic life will be saved. 19. Sand excavation will be carried out as per various conditions stipulated by SEIAA Chhattisgarh in their letter dated (Copy of letter annexed) 4.5 REMOVAL OF OVER BURDEN As the river bed sand deposits do not have top soil, this aspect is not considered. 30

31 CHAPTER 05 DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAM 5.1 LAYOUT OF SAND QUARRY The sand quarry lease is elongated along N-S direction. The excavation will start from north end ie. Downstream direction and it will advance towards upstream direction. 5.2 HANDLING AND TRANSPORT Excavation of sand and its loading in to tractors/ Trucks/ Dumpers will be done simultaneously. Once the vehicle is loaded it will be driven out of the quarry and sent to consumer s point. The loaded vehicles will be covered by tarpaulins. For plying transport vehicle a good stable ramp at the northern end of the quarry will be provided. It will have gentle gradient. 5.3 REQUIREMENT OF MACHINERY Only vehicles for loading and transporting of sand will be required. These will be tractor with trolley, dumpers and trucks deployed by customers. 5.4 ANNUAL PRODUCTION PROGRAM FOR 5 YEAR During First five years production sand is planned as below: Year Area M 2 Depth M Geological Reserve (M 3 ) 31 Proposed Production 1 st nd rd th th The area of excavation is well within the limit of the sand quarry lease area. 5.5 MANPOWER REQUIREMENT To accomplish various quarrying operation such as- Supervision, book keeping, upkeep of road and ramp, planting trees and their protection, excavation and loading of sand etc manpower will be required. Transportation will be done by the customers. Thus for this proposed project manpower requirement will be around 20 members.

32 1.6 USE OF MINERALS The sand available in Pitaiband sand quarry lease is ordinary river bed sand which can be used as general building material for mixing in preparation of concrete in road with tar mix and other constriction purpose. This quarry is nearer to Raipur and there is huge requirement of sand in civil construction industry. CHAPTER 06 WASTE DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENT In the land quarrying operation no waste material like overburden or liquid waste or gaseous waste is likely to be generated; therefore this aspect has not been considered. CHAPTER 07 RECLAMATION PLAN 7.0 RECLAMATION PLAN The pit excavated on river bed sand deposit in dry season will get refilled during rainy season due to inflow of sediments loaded with flood water. This is annual incidence happening in every year in rainy season. Because of this natural replenishment there is no need of reclamation in river bed sand quarrying operation. 32

33 CHAPTER 08 STRATEGY FOR PROTECTION OF RIVER COURSES, NALAS, WATER TANKS, VILLAGE, IMPORTANT MOUUMENT IFANY 8.0 Various Strategies are detailed as follows: a. River Courses From the river bed only 3.0 M thick sand Colum above water level is planned to be excavated. This will not disturb the flow of river therefore no strategy has been envisaged in this regard. b Nalas These are no nalas in nearby area. c Water Tank The quarry is away from villages where tanks or ponds are situated and this quarry is not likely to cause any adverse impact, therefore this aspect is not considered. d. Village/Houses/hutm ent/agriculture land The sand quarry operation will not cause any damage to the village/house/hutments/agriculture land etc. e. Important Monument In the area near this quarry there is no monument. CHAPTER 09 ANY OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION 9.0 OTHER REQUIREMENTS Site services such as a temporary office shade, rest shade, first-aid box, drinking water facility and portable toilet will be provided at the pit head. There will not be any requirement of power. Daily requirement of water will be 1.0 KLPD for dust suppression and 0.2 KLPD for drinking purpose. 9.1 MINE SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS During sand quarrying operation various safety precaution will be observed- 10 Workers will be provided with safety shoes, helmets, goggles, gloves etc. 11 Drunken worker will not be allowed to work in the quarry. 12 After sun set there will be no quarrying operation. 13 Only drivers having valid driving licence will be allowed to drive transport vesicles. 14 First-Aid kit will be kept ready with the supervisor at the pit head office shed. 33
