Proposed Production- 36,000TPA Copy of Mining Lease/ Letter of Intent. A letter of intent has been issued in Favor of Shree Keshubhai Arashibhai Vadar & Others for extraction of Building Lime Stone, Near Village-Divasa, Taluka- Mangrol, Dist. Junagadh.applied for LIO in collector of mining and geological department junagdh. 2.2 Nature of the project: Mining of Building Lime stone is proposed in the applied area Ha. (Private. Near land), Village-Divasa, Taluka- Mangrol, Dist. Junagadh, (Gujarat).Mining will be carried out by Semi-Mechanized Opencast Method. Proposed Production 36,000TPA. The Building Limestone Area near Divasa is a hub for building limestone Extraction. There are various projects for production of limestone blocks in the mine. The building limestone industry is a thriving industry because of prolific use of limestone in building industry. The project is aimed at producing building limestone slabs from the applied area. TABLE 2.1 SHOWS THE ML AREA ALONG WITH ITS DIMENSIONS. SI. Near Village Area 1. Divasa Ha Need For The Project and its importance to the country: Building Limestone is an important mineral for the building Construction. It is naturally available in sample quantities and thus is important for construction of buildings due to its toughness. It is being used as bricks and khandas.

21 Fig.2: LOCATION PLAN OF M/s. BUILDING LIME STONE MINE OF SHREE KESHUBHAI ARASHIBHAI VADAR& OTHERS Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental consideration done into should be highlighted. The site is suitable because of its location and availability of resources. The topography is flat along with scanty overburden to remove. The site is also away From major habitation centers Size and Magnitude of operation The maximum rated capacity of the project will be 36,000TPA productions and the area is spread over Ha. The bricks formation is in form of 15 X 9 X Project Description with process details The soil cover is firstly stacked with use of an hired JCB/excavator and piled for backfilling and plantation later on. The surface to be mined is scrapped to a level and 3-4 stone cutters are put into use. The standard saleable limestone block measures 15 x9 x9. Depth is kept constant at 9 to 10 inches for a cutter and cuts are made by wet cutting. The blocks are carefully liberated manually thereafter and are ready for sale.

The Sandstone belongs to Sedimentary group of Rocks. It occupies most of the area of NE part of Rajkot district, in particular Wankaner. The Sandstone is pinkish white to violet in colour and Serves As a very good aquifer. The thickness Sandstone exceeds 400 mts at some places and has a medium to coarse grained texture. The Sandstones here are available in red, grey and black shades with occasional thin coal strings. The variation in colour reflects deposition from various geological provenances and hence variation in composition.

33 7. ReHaBilitatiOn and ResettleMent (R & R) plan Since the project is private land, there is no reserves forest or protected forest land within the applied area. There is no human settlements within the area so, no resettlement and rehabilitation is required. 8. project schedule & COst estimates a. Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (time schedule for the project to be given) The project activity will be taken up in parallel along with the opening of mine, after the environmental clearance & CTE/CCA is granted. The production will commence within two months of the environmental clearance & CTE/CCA. b. Estimated project cost along with analysis in terms of economic viability of the project The project proponent will incur a total cost of Rs.20 lakh and may vary from place to place and with magnitude of the limestone mining. This will include the rent/lease for land, cost of labor, cost of transportation, fuel charges etc. 9. analysis OF proposal (Final ReCOMMenDatiOns) The project will bring economical benefits to the state by the way of royalty for mineral and people by the way of direct(10 persons) and secondary employment (3 persons) opportunities. Management will be helping nearby village by providing aid to school, conducting medical and social awareness camps, helping in formation of self help groups etc. especially keeping in the view the tribal and economically backward population in the area as part of its corporate social responsibility.

35 environment ManageMent plan (BuilDing limestone) 1.0. INTRODUCTION: The proposed M/s. Building Lime Stone Mine of Shree Keshubhai Arashibhai Vadar& Others. Area at near Village-Divasa, Taluka- Mangrol, Dist. Junagadh,(Gujarat) has been granted to Shree Keshubhai Arashibhai Vadar& Others, resident of At.Divasa, Tal.Mangrol, Dis.Junagadh. Applied Area Ha. Proposed Production- 36,000TPA. The building lime stone mine near Divasa is a hub for building lime stone extraction. The building lime stone industry is a thriving industry because of profile use of Building lime stone in building industry. The project is aimed at producing building lime stone slabs from the lease mine. The mining methodology consists of carving up blocks of dimensions 15 x9 x9 with help of a stone cutter, in this method there is a reject of 40% of the production and about 60% of the yield is usable. Topography of the Area The topography of the lease area is almost flat. The mine has a thin veneer of soil having a thickness of about 0.5 to 1.5 meters. The applied area forms a part of survey of India topo-sheet no. Climate date From Secondary Sources The M/s. Building Lime Stone Mine of Shree Keshubhai Arashibhai Vadar& Others area is situated in district Junagadh. Junagadh has semi-arid climate, with hot, dry summers from mid-march to mid- June and the wet monsoon season from mid-june to oct., when the city receives 550 mm of rain on average. The months from vember to February are mild, the average temperature being around 20 C, with low humidity. During summer time, the temperature ranges between 24 C and 42 C. In the months of winter, Junagadh temperature varies between 10 C and 22 C but on a whole winters are pleasant. Flora & FaMangrol forests land the area. It is entirely a private Ag. Land. endangered Species found in the core zone, so no adverse impact on the flora & Fauna. Since, there are no endangered spices of flora & fauna observed in core zone.

36 The environmental Management plan has been developed with a view to bring down the levels of impacts as discussed in the last chapter within limits. In each of the areas of impact, measures have to be taken to reduce potentially significant adverse impacts are to be enhanced/ augmented so that the overall adverse impacts are reduced to as low level as possible. The mining in the area has been proposed with time bound management plan so that impacts on different environmental parameters are minimized at every stage of mining. Measures to be taken for each of the impact areas are detailed in the following para: Land Environment Air Environment Water Environment ise Environment Reclamation & Rehabilitation of lands Discharge of Effluents Afforestation & Green belt development programme Corporate Social Responsibilities Risk assessment & Disaster Management Plan Environmental clearance Report of Keshubhai Arashibhai Vadar & Others 36
