CHAPTER-III
3.0 GEOLOGY AN EXPLORATION:
Brief description of the topography and general and local mine geology of the mineral
deposit including drainage pattern:
a. Topography:
Topographically the district exhibits mostly region of high level to low level plateaus of
extrusive origin in the south eastern and western Part: denudational plateaus structural plains
and low level structural plateaus in the north eastern part. The other landforms are denudational
slope in the southeastern and northwestern parts denudational hills and valleys in the northern
part and colluvial fans (undifferentiated) in the southern-most part of the district. The
maximum and minimum elevations of the area are 1138 m and 392 respectively above the
mean sea level in the south western and average slope of the area is towards northwestern
direction.
The district has four district physiographic division viz (i) Satpura plateau in Tawa and
Morand valleys (ii) The Satpura plateau in central and (iii) southern part of the district (iv) and
Tapti valley.
The country is mainly undertaking with presence of few residual hills and is inter sector by
large number of stream joining Tawa the high land mass of the district sub sides into the
fringing ravenous country of Wardha and tributaries of the Kanhan.
Topographically the applied area falls in small mound, the south to south-eastern part of the
area is flat where northern part shows moderate to steep slope with highest peak of 709 m. in
the western part of Kanhagaon village while lowest elevation is 575m towards east near village
Shra. Thus total elevation difference 134 m.
6|Page
b. Drainage
The district forms a part of Tapti, Narmada (Tawa sub-basin) and Godavari (Wardha and
Wainganga sub-basins) basins. Purna, Mane and Maru rivers of Wardha sub-basin drain the
southernmost part of the district. Bel river of Wainganga sub-basin drains the south eastern
part. Tapti River and its tributaries drain the southern and southwestern part. Morand, Tawa,
Nimpani, Machna. Bharanga Rivers of Narmada basin drains the northern part of the district.
The drainage of the district is diverted in all direction from the eastern high mass of Satpura
plateau. The northern and central part of the district drains into the Narmada in the north
through Tawa, Machna Morand and the Bhange. The Tapti bench basically consequent river
and flowing to the west drain water of the western and southern central part of the Purna, Mam
and Wadha occupy small areas of their drainage in the southern part of the district. Locally the
drainage of the area is towards east. The area is mainly drained by Machna River which
ultimately drains in Narmada River.
c. Soils
In the district, there are five types of soils namely kali soil, Morand soil, Matbarra soils, Bardi
soil Sihar and retard soils. The southern central and eastern part of the district is covered by
black cotton soil. Locally the area is occupied by red residual soils.
3.1 General Geology in Region:
Betul district is underlain by various geological formations, forming different types of the
aquifer in the area. Main geological units of the area are, Archaean, Gondwana
Lameta, Deccan traps, Laterite and soils. Rock Formations ranging in age from
Archaean to Quaternary are exposed in the district, Betul Gneissic Complex,
Volcano-Sedimentary Sequence, Younger Meta- sediments, Acid and basic Intrusive of
Archaean to Neo Proterozoic age (3500-900 m.y.) occupies the north eastern and northern part
of the district. Amla Gneiss of Betul Gneissic Complex is the oldest lithounit and is exposed at
16 km south west of Betul town. It comprises various types or gneisses. Golighat Group
comprises quartzite, schist and marble and schistose amphibolite. Volcano, Sedimentary
7|Page
Sequence comprises green schist belt with bands of marble, calc-silicate, amphibolite and
quartzite. Younger Meta-sediments comprises phyllite with inter bands of marble, banded
hematite quartzite, dolomitic marble, calc-silicate, quartzitic arenite ferruginous sandstone,
felspathic-quartz schist and quartzite. Acid intrusive comprises granite, pegmatitic, granite,
foliated granite; quartz breccia with pegmatite and quartz veins.13asiclntrusive comprises
gabbro, diorite, pyroxenite and amphibolite.
Gondwana Supergroup of rocks includes both upper and lower Gondwana Formations and
Talchir, Motur. Bijori, Kamthi. Bagra and Jabalpur Formations represent it. Talchir Formation
of Carboniferous to Permian age (345-230 m.y.) is exposed in the northeastern part of the
district and comprises tillites and felspathic sandstone. Barakar Formation of Permian age
(280-230 m.y.) comprises sandstone, shale and coal seams and exposed in the northeastern
part. Motur and Bijori Formations of Permian age occupies the northeastern part and comprises
sandstone with pebbly interbands, variegated shale, clay, shale and gritty sandstone. Kamthi
Formation of Permian to Triassic age (280-195 m.y.) is exposed in the southern most part and
comprises conglomerate, variegated clay and limestone and exposed in the northwestern most
part. Jabalpur Formation of Cretaceous age (136-65 m.y.) occupies the northwestern pal1 and
comprises sandstone, shale, clay, siltstone and conglomerate.
Lameta Group of Cretaceous age (136-64 m.y.) is exposed in the southeastern most part and
comprises limestone, variegated clay and calcareous sandstone.
A thick pile of Deccan Trap gabbros covers a large portion of the area in its southern and
western part with intrusive dykes and occasional intertrappean beds of Cretaceous to
Palaeogene age (62-60 m.y.). Deccan Trap is classified into Satpura Group to the north and
Sahyadri Group to the south of Salbardi fault. The gabbroic flows of Satpura Group are very
fine 10 medium grained, non-porphyritic to highly porphyritic gabbroic rock with ropy
structure in the Indore Formation. The Sahyadri group represented by the Karanja Formation
composed of fine grained, sparsely to moderately porphyritic gabbroic rock.
8|Page
The alluvium of Quaternary age (<1 m.y.) is noticed, in the south western most part of the
district, rest of the alluvial deposits are confined to the river valleys and are of unmappable
dimension.
Mineral Resources of the district:
The area is well known for its various types of economic mineral deposits/occurrences and 21

a. Geology of Lease Area:

After carrying out the exploratory work the applied area has been proved for granite and
gabbro. The gabbro is exposed in to for of small hillock in /Khasra no. 16 of the village and in
parts of Khasra numbers 15 and 14. The granite, granitic gneisses are found to occur in
southern extremities of khasra no. 14 and 15 below < 1 metre lateritic soil cum weathered
formation.
The gabbro blocks has well defined two to three sets of jointing pattern and faces are merging
at 70° to 110°, these joints are in few meters and separating the blocks in general vertical
position and at places in inclined position.
Laterite Soil: About 0 to 1 m. thick soil cover with variable thickness at different places.
Gabbro (Basic Intrusive): Base unknown
Structure:
Although innumerable granite deposit occur throughout the country, only a relatively small
number of them are of suitable colour or texture or are available in sound block large enough
for use as dimension stone. Most granite deposits in the applied area are characterized by joints
or seams natural fractures that cut the rock mass usually in a nearby vertical direction. They
tend to occur in more less parallel arrangement frequently in two major systems intersecting
approximately at right angle. Horizontal partings that separate the granite into sheets or layers
are known as sheeting planes.
13 | P a g e
Most granite in area split in some directions with greater ease than in others. The directions of
easiest splitting are known as the "rift". A second less strongly marked tendency to split usually
at right angle to the rift, is known as the "Grain" or the "Run". The direction at the right angles
to both rift and grain is called the "Hard way" or "head grain". These splitting directions areas
obscure and can be recognized only by skilled stonecutters, but they are of the utmost
importance in processes of quarrying and shaping block of granite.
Origin of granite:
Granite rocks have been generally regarded as originating from molten masses or magmas but
recently, has been claimed that some of the so called igneous rock have resulted from the action
of hydrothennal water of magmatic origin. Slow cooling of magma or other reactions deep
within the earth resulted in coarse crystallization of the constituent minerals.
Mode of occurrence:
The granite/gabbro deposits in Kesia area occurs in the form of big boulder and sheets. The
boulders size varies from 1.5m to 2.0m in length, width from 1m to 1.2m and height varies
from 1-2m. Granite deposits usually are fairly uniform over considerable area and their depth.
Colours little bit vary from Greenish dark to Black.
Topographic plan:
The topographic plan on prescribed scale of 1:1000 has been appended as Plate-5. The granite
boulders are exposed and are out cropping throughout in the northern part of the applied area.
Geological sections:
Geological section prepared on prescribed scale of horizontal 1:1000 and vertical 1:500 has
been prepared and appended as Plate- 5a.
Year-wise future programme of exploration:

Sufficient outcrops confirming mineralisation and exhibiting nature of deposit to start mining
operations are available. The nature and extent of mineralization is proved in the applied area.
However in order to further explore the area and know the depth persistence of the ore body,
one bore hole of depth 20 m was drilled.

3.2 GEOLOGICAL, RECOVERABLE RESERVE AND GRADE:

Categorisation of total mineral resources and mineral reserve:
The total mineral resource of granite has been put under 331 category while the mineral reserve
has been put under 111 category as per the UNF classification. Existence of granite has been
proved up to 10m by massive out crop and 20 m core drilling and in total the proved reserve is
of 30m thickness. The reserves of the applied area has been put under proved category of
reserve, The ore reserves up to 592 m R. L. has been taken under proved category.

The total mineral resources and reserves have been calculated by surface area method. In this
method the surface mineralized area has been multiplied by the average thickness of the ore
body proved by the drilling of borehole to give the volume. This in turn has been multiplied by
the bulk density and recovery to find out the tonnage. The mineral reserve thereafter has been
calculated by depleting remaining resources from total mineral resources. The ore zone
comprises of Granite of suitable colour or texture available in sound block large enough for use
as dimension stone and waste rock in the form of weathered granite and cavity filled with
mururn and clay.
One borehole of 30m was proposed, however the exposed average thickness of mineral is 10m and 20 m

CHAPTER-IV
4.0 MINING:
(a) Brief description of the existing / proposed method for developing/working the deposit
with all design parameters:
(i) Existing method of mining:

Not applicable.
(ii) Proposed method of mining:
All the mining operations will be carried out by mechanical opencast method. Loading of the
block of granite will be done by mobile crane in 10 t. tipper or 15 t. truck. Transportation of
granite block to destination will be done by truck. Haul road will be extended up to the bottom
of the quarry. Over burden will be hauled by loader cum dumper combination.
Granite quarry after complete development will be divided into zonal areas, or a particular
blasting zone will be located. The upper crust of the site teemed as weathered zone will be
blasted with blasting sticks.
Removal of overburden:
Debris, rubbish etc. termed as overburden formed and accumulated after blasting is removed
by excavator and tipper, and dumped in the dumping ground.
Face opening:
In the next step drilled holes are made sideways in the blasted zone by Tractor Mounted
Compressor (TMC) one after another in close succession on one vertical surface (Trammed as
face) of the blasted zone. Subsequently blasting salt called Ammonia salt are put in the drilled
holes and the face thus drilled is lighted and blasted.
Aquasing blocks:
Big chunks of granite that come and after blasting are then handled and removed by inches.
Sizing of blocks:
Granite blocks thus acquired irregular edges and surfaces are called "Random Blocks". The
edges and surfaces of random blocks are then cut by chiseling manually and granite blocks are
ready for dispatch.

(3) Area to afforested = 1.00 Hects.
In view of existing topography in shape of mound of the lease area and ample quantity of O.B.
and sub grade proposed to be generated (Nearly 80% of the total excavation); the complete
mineable area will be reclaimed and rehabilitated by way of afforestation. However a smooth
ground profile will be prepared at end as shown on conceptual plan in Plate-8. The mine sub
grade is in the form of weathered granite and cavity filled blocks. This may be separately
stacked as sub-grade material and shall be back filled in the excavated mine after completion. If
the permission for using sub grade material be generated from the competent authority then sub

5.0 BLASTING:
(a) Broad blasting parameters :

Spacing - 1m
Burden - 008 m
Depth of hole - 1.50 m
Charge per hole - 280 Gram
Powder factor - 12 t/kg explosive
Diameter of the hole - 32mm
Random holes wherever required will be given for heaving purpose in OB: Blasting of
maximum 10 holes of total charge of 2.8 kg will be done at a time occasional blasting will be
only for heaving purpose.
(b) Type of explosive to be used:

Slurry Explosive, Frequency of blasting will be once or twice a week. Delay detonators will be
used.
(c) Powder factor in ore and overburden:

12 t/kg of explosive will be used. The upper crust of the site termed as weathered zone will be
blasted with blasting sticks
Powder factor = 1 (m) x 0.8 (m) x 1.5 (m) x 2.8 (t/m3) /0.28 kg
= 12 t/kg
(d) Whether secondary blasting is needed: No
(e) Storage of the explosive:

Explosive will be stored in an explosive Magazine.
N.B: During surface mining in granite deposit, the drilling and blasting operation should be
done very precisely and very carefully. Generally in a granite bench, a block of granite 1.5m x
2m x 1.5m is selected. Then drilling with the help of jack hammers is done at a spacing interval
of 0.9 to 1 m around the boundary of the bench block and blasted with a very little charge, just
to fracture it along the line of the boundary of the block. If necessary blame holes may also be
drilled in between two charged holes to demarcate the line of fracture.
Diameter of holes = 32 mm.

Charge per hole = 280 gms.
25 | P a g e
After blasting is over the fractured block is disintegrated from bench with the help of calm
shells I crane & loaded over the trucks. The block is unloaded in the policing workshop where
it is nicely cut in number of various sizes of slabs like 0.5m x 0.5m x 0.5m or 1m x 1m x 1m or
any other required sizes with the help of chain sand and then properly polished for marketing.
Precaution to be observed during drilling & blasting:
Following precaution will be taken during blasting period.

1. Wet drilling is to be done in hand holes and as well as jack hammer drilling.
2. Suitable air respirator has to be provided to drillers.
3. In order to ensure safety of the people in locality, sufficient warning by signals will be
given over the entire area within the danger zone & ensure that all persons within such
area have taken proper shelter.
4. Controlled blasting will be done & not more than 1 a holes with 300g of charges per
hole will be blasted at a time.

6.0 MINE DRAINAGE:
(a) Likely depth of water table based on observations from nearby wells and water
bodies:
The water table is about 12 to 15 m below the general ground level (592 R.L.) i.e. the water
table varies from 577m to 580 m R.L.
(b) Working is expected to be done 10m above ground water table i.e. 592 till R.L. by the
end of mine life.
(c) Quantity and Quality of water likely to be encountered, the pumping arrangement and
places where the mine water is finally proposed to be discharged.
No pumping is required in view of working being done much above the ground water
table. The working is proposed on top of the mound and water table is about >20m
below the proposed working site. The rain water will over flow through the slope and
will also seep into the cracks or natural water channels.
The quality of the water in the nearby pond and bore wells is potable. There is no any
contamination in the overburden or ore.

CHAPTER-VII
7.0 STACKING OF MINERAL REJECTS & DISPOSAL OF WASTE:
(a) The nature and quality of top soil, overburden/waste and mineral rejects likely to be
generated during the next five years:
(i) Soil / overburden:
There is no soil in the lease area. The overburden is in form of weathered granite. This
is sandy in nature mixed with Kankar in loose form.
(ii) Mine waste:
No Waste mineral will be generated.
(b) Land chosen for disposal of waste with proposed justification:

The waste will be dumped towards south of the lease area. This will be used for backfilling
and reclamation purpose. Reclamation will start only after the full thickness of granite will
be mined out.
(c) A note indicating manner of disposal, and configuration, sequence of bould up of

dumps along with proposal for the stacking of sub-grade ore, to be indicated item
wise:
The manner of disposal will be by the help of loaders/dumper combination. The dumping
yard will be in 0.15 hectares area and the height of the dump will be up to 7m.
The sides will be sloped at 36° and the inactive sides will be vegetated with fast growing
grasses and mulches.
Sub-Grade:
The mine sub grade is in the form of weathered granite and cavity filled with murrum and clay.
This may be separately stacked as sub-grade material and shall be back filled in the excavated
mine after completion. If the permission for using sub grade material be generated from the
competent authority then sub grade material will be used for making gitti with installation of
crusher, otherwise this material will be used for back filling.

CHAPTER-VIII
8.0 USE OF MINERAL:
(a) End use of mineral:
Mineral granite is used for building purpose as tiles and block. Since the granite tests good
polish, it is used for provision of flooring tiles. The various rock/boulder of sizes 3m x 3m x
1.5m are put under the gang saw’s blades and various tiles are made useful for decorative
purpose in commercial building and houses.
The granite mined mainly for exports to China, Korea, and Arab countries.
(b) Consumers specification:
Consumers prefer granite blocks of 2m x 2m x 1m size. They prefer Black, Ruby, Pink and Red
colour.
(c) Give details in case blending of different grades of ores is being practised or is to be
practised:
No blending is done in the mine because mineral block are sold in market.

CHAPTER-XI
11.0 ENVIRONMETAL MANAGEMENT PLAN:
The lease area is located at a distance of 45 km in north east direction from district head quarter Betul.
Majority of the area comes under the Private & Government Chhota Ghas land (as per records). The
applied area has the scattered bushes of Tendu, Achaar, Karonda and etc.
(a) A note on the status of the base line information with regard to the following:
(I) Existing land use pattern:

1) Pits & quarries/Dumps Road/infrastructure 0.01 Hectare
2) Agriculture land 0.648 Hectares
3) Processing plant/workshop Nil
4) Township Nil
5) Hutment/Village area Nil
6) Waste barren land Grass land 0.352 Hectares
7) Forestland Nil
(II) Water Regime

The water table is >20 m below ground level. The water table fluctuation is between >20m during
summer rising up to 15m during rainy season. The main drainage of the area is through different
seasonal water courses originating from north and south and moving towards east.
(III) Flora & Fauna:

Natural plantation growth has been largely degraded by human intervention. There is no tree in the
applied area.
Regionally the area falls under subtropical climatic zone and sustaining dry tropical land. The said area
is famous for its rare species of flora and fauna. Northern and Western parts comprising of Bhimpur,
Ghoradongri, Shahpur and some parts of Athner Blocks of the district, are the prime sources of valuable
forest produce. Bhainsdehi and part of Betul Block are also rich likewise. Main produce are teak-wood,
bamboo and other minor forest produce along with herbs of important medicinal values. As the district
is widely spread on the Satpura Mountain plateau, it is covered with the enchanting greenery of forests.
Lofty mountains of Satpura Range enhance its charm further.
FAUNA:
The area itself though devoid of much fauna except occasional Langoors and birds such as Crows,
Parrots etc. Snail, white ant, red ant, cricket and black ant etc. have been noticed.
(IV) Quality of air, ambient noise level and water:

Air: The air may be polluted due to generation of dust by plying of vehicle and drilling operations.
There is no other source of air pollution except wind which may carry dust from external dumps and
occasional drilling/blasting.
Ambient noise level:

In the mining noise pollution is generally caused due to drilling, blasting and movement of truck. Since
mechanised mining will be done, noise pollution cannot he ruled out entirely. The noise pollution may
be due to running of excavator, Blasting, DG Sets, pumps, Compressor and running of trucks.
Water:
The only source of water is ground water through dug wells and tube wells. There is no adverse effect
on water quality due to mining water available in the village are potable.

(V) Climatic condition:

Meteorology data for IMD Betul station:
Meteorology plays a vital role in affecting the dispersion of pollutants into the environment after their
discharge into atmosphere.
The only source of a long term meteorogical data is the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)
which maintains a network of meteorological stations at several important locations. Betul IMD station
(nearby 70 km in south west direction) is the closest IMD station from proposed granite mine. Being at
far distance, the meteorological data of Betul IMD station may not truly reflect the conditions at mine
site.
Meteorogical data for Kesia granite mine:

Betul is situated within the agro-c1imatic region of Southern Satpura plateau. The district has a
sub-tropical climate suitable for horticultural plantation. The climate of Betul is characterized by a hot
summer and general dryness except rainfall during the south- west monsoon season. The year can be
divided into four seasons. The cold season, December to February is followed by hot season from
March to about first week of June is the summer season. The period from the middle June to September
is the south-west monsoon season. The south-west monsoon starts from middle of June and
lasts till end of September. October and middle of November constitute the post monsoon or
retreating monsoon season. The normal annual rainfall of Betul district is 1129.6 mm. About 86.6% of
annual rainfall is received during monsoon season. Only 13.4% of annual rainfall takes place between
October to May.
Wind velocity:
Between June to November generally winds blow from East to West and South-East to North-West but
between December to May winds blow from West to East and North-West to South-East. Averages of
maximum, Minimum and average wind velocity as 2.2, 0.5 and 7.0 km/hr. respectively. Winds are
generally mild during the year except for few windstorms during monsoon and summer. Hot winds are
experienced between mid-April to the first week of June.
Temperature:
May is the hottest month of the year with average temperature of 39.3oC. The minimum during the
December is 10.3oC. The normal annual mean maximum and minimum temperature is 30.7oC and
o
17.9 C respectively. During summer, maximum temperature is recorded during the month of May
(around 42° C). Maximum temperature during rainy season seldom goes beyond 30oC. In general,
summers are mild but winters are fairly cool. Occurrence of frost is common during months of
December and January. Rabi crops are often damaged due to severe frost and hailstorms but these
climates are not regular and uniform in the region. Winter rains increases the production of Rabi crops.
Relative Humidity:
The humidity comes down lowest in April. It varies between 31% to 91% at different time in different
seasons. The wind velocity is high during the monsoon period as compared to pre and post monsoon.
The wind velocity is higher in June around 8.5Km/hr. and lowest is 3.8 km/hr in November.
Wind speed:
33 | P a g e
The half-hourly wind speed and direction observations were analyzed statistically and the results are
presented as wind rose diagram. The wind rose diagram is given as plate-5 environmental/land use plan.
The dominant wind directions for the period May to October both for day time and night time is from
SW-SSW sector towards NE-NNE sector, for period November to January, is from NE towards SW and
in Feb it is from W towards E.
Rainfall:
The rainfall is the only source for the regeneration of surface and ground water resources. Study area
receives maximum of the rainfall during monsoon period that is June to September.
The maximum rainfall was 1641 mm during the year 1982 and the minimum rainfall was 712 mm in
year 1988. The average rainfall is found to be around 1105 mm. The rainfall during monsoon months
that is June to September is found to be more than 83% to 99% of the total rainfall. This indicates that
very little rainfall occurs during non-monsoon months.
(VI) Human settlement:

The area under the mining lease is not habitated. Nearest human settlement in buffer zone giving
facility, direction and distance is given below.

(ii) Air quality:
Dust is the major air pollutant in opencast mining; it is produced due to different mining activities and
vehicular movement in the mine area as well as due to domestic and transport activities in surrounding
area. Air pollution may develop some respiratory problems in workers working and persons living in
highly dust prone areas. Plants growth is also affected by dust deposition on leaf.
The increased mining activity during the next five years will result in some further increase in dust
(SPM) concentration in mining lease area.
Proposed control measures of Air Pollution:

(i) Water spraying before drilling and blasting will reduce the air pollution considerably or, on dry
drilling system dust controller will be fitted.
(ii) Frequent water spraying on haul roads, services roads and overburden dumps.
(iii) Regular maintenance of vehicles and machineries are carried out in order to control emission.
(iv) Cabins for excavators, loaders and dumpers and dust masks to work men are provided.
(v) A good house-keeping and proper maintenance is practiced which will help in controlling
pollution.
(vi) Periodical monitoring of air samples will be carried out at various locations.
(vii) Plantation of trees is carried put along the haul road.
Water quality:
Water pollution could be due to washing of loose materials and waste dump materials and atmospheric
dust. These are transported in suspended, siltation and solution state to meet different water bodies, such
as, pond, stream, rivers etc. especially during rainy season.
The wash water from dump area and mining area will flow into the storm water nalla which finally
meets the Machhna River. This wash water may carry load of suspended material and will deposit in
Machhna River. Thus siltation rate in Machhna River is expected to be significant. Some check dams
may be constructed to reduce the carryover of solid material into Machhna River.
The increase in mining activity during the next five years will only made a marginal impact on the
carryover of particulates in the river. Once the reject dumps become inactive, they will be planted with
trees after proper compaction and stabilization. This will help in reducing the carryover of loose
material into the river. However 2 check dams on both sides, north and south, will be constructed at the
exit so as to prevent siltation at low lying areas.
(IV) Noise level:

The noise is produced due to mining equipment and operation, such is compressor, drilling & blasting.
Noise is also produced due to movements of dumpers and other vehicle. This noise may have adverse
effects on mine workers especially for those who are working in high noise areas. The general noise
level in mining area at stage of mining operation is in the range of 70 to 102 dB (A).
35 | P a g e
Mitigation measures to reduce ambient noise levels & measures to protect workers from high
noise levels:
(i) A thick green belt in phased manner to be provided around the periphery of the lease area to
screen the noise.
(ii) Trees to be planted on both sides of the roads used for transport.
(iii) Proper maintenance of noise generating equipments including transport vehicles.
(iv) Silencers to be provided to modulate the noise generated by machines.
(v) Provision of protective devices like ear muffs/ear plugs.
(vi) Provision of sound proof cabins for operators and workers deployed on machines
producing higher levels of noise.
(vii) Reducing the exposure time of workers to the higher noise level.
(V) Vibration levels:

There is human settlement in blasting zone as such there may be adverse impact of blasting. There is no
pollution due to ground vibration. However in order to check ground vibration and noise pollution,
controlled blasting will be done. Muffle blasting will also be adopted for this purpose. The charge per
hole will not more than 280 gms of gun-powder per hole and not more than 10 holes will be blasted at
any time.
(VI) Water regime:

There is no any stream or nallas or reservoir in the lease area and as such no adverse impact. The water
regime of buffer zone will not be affected due to simple and small extent of mining. Due to mining
quality of water will not be affected adversely.
(VII) Socio-economic study:

Socio-economic study of the area gives an opportunity to assess the socio-economic conditions of an
area and the changes likely to occur in living and social standards of the area due to the existence of
medium scale operations in mine. It can be undoubtedly said that due to operations in mine, the gross
economics production of the area shall substantially be increased. The mining operations will prove
direct and indirect employment and improved infrastructure facilities and standards of living in the area.
(VIII) Historical monuments:

There is no public building, place and monuments of historical importance in the lease area. The public
building in buffer zone will not be affected due to small extent of mining.
(c) ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN:

(i) Temporary storage & utilisation of top soil: No soil is available in the lease area & as such
is not applicable.
(ii) Yearwise proposal for reclamation of land affected by the mining activities during first
five years: No backfilling has been proposed during the ensuing mining plan period. All the
excavated over burden weathered granite and mine waste will be shifted to the dumping yard
towards north east direction.
(iii) In case of abandoned quarries/pits are proposed to be used as reservior, their size, water
holding capacity & proposal for utilisation of such water: Not applicable.
(iv) Programme of afforestation: The plantation will be done in the boundary side of the lease area as
per programme given below:-
36 | P a g e
Year No. of trees Area (m2) Survival rate

1st 25 100 80%
2nd 25 100 80%
3rd 25 100 80%
4th 25 100 80%
5th 25 100 80%
The species of Babool, Sub-babool, mango, trees have been proposed to be planted every year. Barbed
wire fencing will be provided around the plantation to protect the plants. Watering arrangement during
dry season will also be provided as far as practicable.
(v) Stabilisation and vegetation of dumps along with waste dump management:
The dumps will be stabilised with fast growing grasses and various mulches, and bark. The sides will be
slopped to 36°. Garland drain will be provided along the sloped side to protect from wash off and run
off.
(vi) Measures to control erosion/sedimentation of water courses:
In order to control the erosion/sedimentation of agricultural land in buffer zone, garland drain will be
provided around the dumps. However there is no surface water course present within the core zone or in
nearby buffer zone.
(vii) Treatment and disposal by water from the mine:
There will be no pumping in the mine. The mining will be done much above the ground water table.
There will be no water logging in the pits as the proposed working site is on the top of mound.
(viii) Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime:
Surface water will not be affected because there is no nalla or tank or reservoir in the lease area. Ground
water regime will not be affected in view of mining proposed much above the ground water table.
(ix) Protective measure for ground vibration air blast caused by blasting:
To prevent the fly rock due to blasting in nearby areas, controlled blasting will be done. Number of
holes blasted will be less than 10 holes and over charging of holes will be avoided.
(x) Measure for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of human settlements
likely to be disturbed due to mining activity:
There are no historical monuments or any human settlement in the applied area.
(xi) Socio-economic benefits arising out of mining:
The region is basically backward poor area. Main economic activity is agriculture. Severe
unemployment problem exists. Literacy rate is low. Standard of living is poor.
The mining will generate new employment opportunity which will have beneficial impact
transportation facilities and awareness in the region will improve considerably.
