Stone (Basalt) Mineral Open Cast Mining The mining will be carried out by manual opencast method, which includes excavation by drilling and blasting, loading and transportation by excavator-tipper combination, stacking and finally dispatched by tippers. The capacity of the mine is 9352 tonnes per annum. This is an existing nonoperational (Basalt) mine having area 0.40 Ha. Top soil from undisturbed area proposed for mining will be removed and spread in the safety zone for plantation purpose. Mined out stone from the mine will be transported to the nearby crusher and after size reduction, the stone will be transported to the buyer's location.

23 Stone (Basalt) Mine, Area: 0.40 Ha, Gut. 39, Village- Warkhed (Khurd), Tehsil- Shegaon, b. Proposed Infrastructure: It is an existing non-operational stone (Basalt) mineral mine and mine office, rest shelter, first aid center, drinking water facility and road network already will be developed in the mine lease area. Portable licensed explosive magazine will be provided in the lease area. Water for dust suppression and plantation will be supplied from rainwater accumulated in mine pit (when available) and from nearby village by tanker and electricity will be supplied from MSEB grid and from DG Set in case of power failure. Public facilities like school, hospital, dispensary & Post Office etc. are available in nearby villages, Khamgaon town and in Akola & Buldhana city. (vi) Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final product/s, Mode of transport of raw Material and Finished Product, major raw materials will be required during mining of stone (Basalt) mineral. But there will be requirement of some essential materials like explosive for blasting which will be sourced from licensed explosive dealers, electricity which will be taken from MSEB/ DG set, diesel requirement will be fulfilled from the nearby filling station and the water requirement of 5 KLD for drinking, dust suppression & plantation will be fulfilled from the borewell, tanker water and mine water (when available). After excavation of stone (Basalt), it will be transported to the nearby crusher for screening and sizing, after that it will be directly sold in the open market. (vii) Resource optimization/ recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined Opencast mining will recover the maximum stone mineral from the deposit and will be done as per the DGMS guidelines with due concern for safety & conservation. The resources namely diesel, explosive, water and electricity will also be utilized in the optimal manner with due regards to safety. A water reservoir will be developed in the lower benches of the mined out pit. It would also act as groundwater recharge structure. This will also be useful for rainwater harvesting. This will improve the water table. Plantation will be developed in 7.5 m safety zone as well as near office etc. and on the top benches of the mined out pit. The water reservoir can be used by nearby farmers for irrigation. In post mining stage, the mining area may be developed as a picnic spot with water reservoir and plantation. (viii) Availability of water its source, Energy/ power requirement and source should be given The amount of water required during mining and related activities would be around 5 KLD. This demand will be fulfilled with the help of nearby dug-well, tanker water and mine water (when available) which gets accumulated in mine pit during the rainy season. In addition the required quantity of electricity (1-2 KWH) and diesel (15-20 litre) will be sourced from Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) and nearby diesel filling stations respectively. (ix) Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their Management/disposal Solid Waste: About 300 m 3 soil will be generated which will be used for spreading on safety barrier zone for plantation. Around 2338 tonnes of rejcets/ob will be generated from mine during Nagpur, Maharashtra Page 22

24 Stone (Basalt) Mine, Area: 0.40 Ha, Gut. 39, Village- Warkhed (Khurd), Tehsil- Shegaon, mining plan period. The solid waste that will be generated from the mining activity will be stacked and will be sold as per demand. Liquid Effluent: There would be no accumulation of water in the mine pit except during the rainy season. So there would be no adverse effect on water quality due to mining activity, water accumulated in the pit will be pumped out to surface which will be used to meet the industrial requirement (dust suppression and watering plants) & the excess water, if any, will be allowed to flow outside the mine lease after ensuring proper settling. Waste dump management: The waste/overburden during the mining operation will be stacked and dumped at the earmarked places as per mine plan. The waste rock will be sold as per the demand. 4.

In case of notified industrial area, a copy of the Gazette notification should be given Proposed land use: This is an existing non-operational (Basalt) mine over an area of 0.40 Ha. At the end of mining plan period, mine pits will cover 0.23 Ha, Plantation will be carried out over an area of 0.17 ha and remaining area will remain undisturbed. At the end of life of mine, the mined out pit will be converted into water reservoir along the lower benches. This would also help in ground water recharge and can also be used for rain water harvesting. Plantation will be done on the upper benches and in the 7.5 m safety zone around the mined out pit. Water from the mined out pit can also be used by the nearby farmers for irrigation purpose. Distance from the nearest forest: ne within 5 Km radius Distance from the nearest water body: Seasonal Reservoir in Warkhed: 0.5 km SW Januna Lake: 5.1 Km, SW Shelodi Nala: 1.9 Km, E Other small seasonal streams and ponds in nearby villages: within 5 km radius area (v) Proposed Infrastructure This is an existing non-operational (Basalt) mine over an area of 0.40 Ha.

It is generally porous and swells considerably on addition of water and dries up with distinct cracks on losing the moisture. (vii) Climate The temperature starts decreasing from the month of October. December is the coldest month. The daily maximum temperature during December is 29.3 C and daily minimum is 13.6 C while the highest and lowest recorded temperature in the month is 31.9 C and 9.5 C respectively. The daily mean temperature starts rising from the month of February, and May is the peak summer month when mean maximum temperature goes up to 42.0 C and minimum temperature is 28.0 C.
