CHAPTER-3

TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY

Briefly describe the general topography explaining whether it is a Plain land or hilly area and local geology of the mineral deposit.

(i) Topography:

The lease area is falling in the river bed of Mahanadi River on the southern bank of the river. Since, the sand area falling in the riverbed, the general surface level of the lease area is comparatively lower than the surroundings. The flow direction of River is towards north-east direction.

On the river bank, the general surface level is around 360 mRL and the general surface level within the lease area which is a river bed is about 356 mRL, thus the area is about 4 m below from the general surface level.

The availability of deposited sand 5m as per the field visit surveyed on 10.09.2015.

(ii) Geology:

Regional Geology: The River Mahanadi is start from Granites of Archaean age and thereafter flowing through the Chhattisgarh Basin, which are belonging to mainly Raipur and Chandrapur Groups of Chhattisgarh Supergroup. Thus, almost the River length is flowing through the rock formations of Chhattisgarh Supergroup.

The alluvium forms a narrow belt along the Mahanadi River, comprising, sand, gravel, clay and silt in varying proportions. The characteristics features of this valley fill alluvium is, its occurrence along the left bank of the River attaining a thickness ranging from 15 to 40 m. The alluvium of the Mahanadi conceals the contact of Chandrapur sandstone with the limestone of Charmuriya Formation.

The rocks of the area and adjoining are belonging to Dongargarh Granite of Palaeoproterozoic Age. The Dongargarh Granite occurs as a batholiths covering an area of about 8,000 sq km in Rajnandgaon-Kanker-Bastar and Dhamtari Districts forming the central part of Bastar Province. The batholiths comprises three distinct plutons, these plutons are oval in shape, elongate along N-S to NNE-SSW and generally taper to south.

Local Geology: The study area/ proposed sand mine area is on the river bed of Mahanadi River which flow towards north-east direction. The rocks of the area and adjoining are belonging to Dongargarh Granite of Palaeoproterozoic Age.

Transportation of Sand - The sand is not a insitu materials but being carried out by flowing water during the monsoon every year from various catchment areas of the river and getting accumulated at convenient locations like bends, escarpments etc. and as such the sand of the lease area is a carried material brought from various locations and getting accumulated at convenient places in the flow direction of the River. The size of the accumulated sand varies due to the time factor taken by the river as well as the quantity of flow water. The depositions normally take place on winding course (bends)/meanders/loops/circuitous journey (of a river) in flow direction. Normally, the flow velocity of fined to coarse sand is ranging from 0.3 m /sec to 0.6 m /sec respectively. The maximum and minimum width of River bed is about 357 m and 305 m respectively. and the maximum and minimum width of the mining lease area is about 158 m and 138 m respectively.

CHAPTER-4

RESERVES

Give estimates of geological reserves alongwith grade under proved, probable and possible categories by standard method of estimation supported by analytical data.

The lease area is 60,000 sqm and the thickness of the sand bed is upto 5 m (Source: As observed in the field and also information given by local public), but proved thickness of sand bed has been estimated upto 3 m (as observed in the field in cut section / pits) and below this, further 2 m thickness has been considered as probable thickness. The parameters considered for reserve estimation are as under: a. The general surface level of the lease area is 356 mRL (on river bed). b. The topographical mapping was carried out on the scale of 1:1000. c. The process of accumulation of sand is a continuation process in every year during rainy

season in this area due to its location being an embankment. d. The reserve has been estimated by area of influence method. e. The proved thickness has been considered as 3 m and the resources has been comes

under Proved Mineral Resources. f. The probable thickness has been considered as 2 m and the resources has been comes

under Probable Mineral Resources. g. The B.D. of sand (ordinary) has been considered as 1.7. h. The lease area has been recently surveyed on dated 10/09/2015. i. The reserve of river bed can be estimated by the available sand area in the total lease

area and multiplied by the average estimated thickness of sand bed observed by number of locations.


Page 8 of 14

Total Mineral Resources area as under:

(i) Total Proved Mineral Resources : The lease area is 60,000 sq m and thickness of ordinary sand is considering 3 m from surface. Hence, the estimation of total mineral resources is as under:

The estimation of blocked out resources: The lease area is 3m away from the river bank, but mining will be carried out leaving 10 m away from the lease area and also from the main stream, this barrier has been taken as safety zone or non mining zone where mining operations will be restricted. Hence sand resources of about 8,100 sqm area has been considered as blocked out resources.

Anticipated Life of the Mine: The Proved Mineable reserves of ordinary sand is 1,55,700 cum (2,64,690 tonnes) and the proposed production rate of about 50,000 cum (85,000 tonnes) per year. Due to continues sand deposition in the area during rainy season there will not be much depletion in the reserve of sand, hence reserve is likely to be remain same every year and in future also.

CHAPTER- 5 (a)

DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAMME

Maximum depth of removal of ordinary sand/bajri (3 mtrs from surface or up to water table/bed rock whichever is less)

The depth of mining will be restricted upto 3 m.

Outline briefly, year wise development and production for first five years including precautions to be observed to prevent haphazard excavation of pit, scattering of waste and sub-grade mineral and avoidable loss of mineral in ground.

The five years of the mining plan period will be 2015-16 to 2019-20.

The proposed method of mining was open-cast manual. The mining and loading will be carried out manually. The sand will be extracted by phased manner, two stages maintaining pit slope at about 300.

The sand will be accumulated by labours in the convenient place and directly loaded into truck/tipper/dumpers.

Since, there will not be pit formation, hence development of pit is not considered and sand is deposited directly in every monsoon. As mentioned previously, lease area located within the river bed and there will be continuous deposition in the area every year during monsoon and sand will get refilled wherever mined out area during the year. So the mining activity need not be properly lined out as seen the other mineral cases. In the case of sand mining, the mined out areas will get refilled during monsoon and again mining can be carried out in same location.

Since, mining will not be possible during rainy season; the working will be carried out only about 8 months and working days considered as max. 240 days in a year.

No drilling and blasting is required, since the sand is a loose / semi-compact / incompact formation. The production of sand has been proposed to about 50,000 cum (85,000 tonnes) per annum.

Total lease area is 60,000 sq m (6.00 Ha) and the area available for mining is about 51,900 sq m. (5.19 Ha).

Total mineable reserves of sand is 1,55,700 cum (2,64,690 tonnes) thus per hectare about 30,000 cum (51,000 T) sand is available for extraction.

Hence, about 30,000 cum per hectare sand extraction can be done or 1,55,700 cum in the workable lease area as and when required depend on market demand.


Page 11 of 14

Considering the replenishment of sand and available reserve, about 50,000 cum (85,000 T) sand can be safely extracted per year.

Annually 50,000 cum (85,000 T) in 5.19 Ha area or say about 9,634 cum (16,378 T) sand per hectare per year can be extracting from this site.

Haulage and Transporting:

For transportation of loadable sand from lease area to consumers, mostly 6 cum dumpers/tippers will be utilized.

CHAPTER-6

RECLAMATION PLAN

Describe briefly the year wise reclamation plan, giving the proposed plantation programme, scope of backfilling of worked out pit.

The river bed material normally consists of sand (< 2 mm size), small gravels (> 2mm < 20 mm size) and gravels (>200 mm size). These materials comes down mostly rolling over the river bed from steep stream/river slopes and settles down when the velocity of flowing water decrease at the confluence of hilly & plain areas. The deposition of these materials diverts the river flow in different direction thus forming islands varying sizes. These islands are dynamic in nature and their location is not fixed. The river flow may strike left or right bank of the depending upon the rate of discharge, type and volume of river bed material (RBM) brought from a rain storm etc. this phenomenon may not become significant in a year or two but has its effect over longer period of time.

Principally the extraction of annual quantity of RBM should not be exceeding the RBM brought during the monsoon of that year. However, the recommended quantity of extraction of RBM is limited to 30 to 90% of the RBM brought during the monsoon.

Methodology of extraction of RBM is more critical / relevant than quantity of extraction of RBM. Improper method of extraction of RBM of even less quantity may be more critical.

As the replenishment of sand in monsoon season is a regular process. Based on the last five years observation, it’s experienced that the average 3 m sand has been replenished every year.

Development works undertaken on river/stream bank becomes vulnerable due to frequent striking of river/stream flow on river bank. It therefore becomes necessary to guide the flow to the centre of the river/stream. Extraction of RBM with proper and careful method is one of such measures to channelize the flow to the centre so as to avoid stream bank erosion. The other measures are treatment of catchment with suitable soil and water conservation measures so that the soil/gravel are not carried out down from their location; following drainage line treatment viz spurs, retards, wattling, planting of suitable vegetation on river bank etc.

Plantation will be carried preferably on the River bank and also along the road used for transportation or the area proposed by the Gram Panchayat.

general surface level.

6 Project Proposal The proposed project is a manual opencast sand (minor) project and is classified as “CATEGORY – B” by Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change, New Delhi

7 Name of Mineral mined Sand

8 Rate of Production (in tons) 85,000 tones per year(up to 3.0 meter depth)

9 Mineral Reserve in Million Tons

Total mineable reserves of sand is 1,55,700 cum (2,64,690 tonnes)

10 Life of mine The Proved Mineable reserves of ordinary sand is 1,55,700 cum (2,64,690 tonnes)and the proposed production rate of about 50,000 cum (85,000 tonnes) per year. Due to continues sand deposition in the area during rainy season there will not be much depletion in the reserve of sand, hence reserve is likely to be remain same every year and in future also.

11 Drilling/ Blasting No drilling and blasting is required, since the sand is a loose / semi-compact / incompact formation. The production of sand has been proposed to about 50,000 cum (85,000 tonnes) per annum

12 Mining method The depth of mining will be restricted up to 3 meter. The five years of the mining plan period will be 2015-16 to 2019-20. The proposed method of mining was open-cast manual. The mining and loading will be carried out manually. The sand will be extracted by phased manner, two stages maintaining pit slope at about 300.


Since, there will not be pit formation, hence development of pit is not considered and sand is deposited directly in every monsoon. As mentioned previously, lease area located within the river bed and there will be continuous deposition in the area every year during monsoon and sand will get refilled

30 | P a g e

wherever mined out area during the year. So the mining activity need not be properly lined out as seen the other mineral cases. In the case of sand mining, the mined out areas will get refilled during monsoon and again mining can be carried out in same location. Due to above reason, a mining zone has been marked for five year production and mining can be done in anywhere within the mining zone. Since, mining will not be possible during rainy season; the working will be carried out only about 8 months and working days considered as max. 240 days in a year. No drilling and blasting is required, since the sand is a loose / semi-compact / incompact formation. The production of sand has been proposed to about 50,000 cum (85,000 tonnes) per annum.

3.1 Topography:

The lease area is falling in the river bed of Mahanadi River on the southern bank of the river. Since, the sand area falling in the riverbed, the general surface level of the lease area is comparatively lower than the surroundings. The flow direction of River is towards north-east direction.

On the river bank, the general surface level is around 360 mRL and the general surface level within the lease area which is a river bed is about 356 mRL, thus the area is about 4 m below from the general surface level. The availability of deposited sand 5m as per the field visit surveyed on 10.09.2015.

3.2 Geology:

Regional Geology: The River Mahanadi is start from Granites of Archaean age and thereafter flowing through the Chhattisgarh Basin, which are belonging to mainly Raipur and Chandrapur Groups of Chhattisgarh Supergroup. Thus, almost the River length is flowing through the rock formations of Chhattisgarh Supergroup.

The alluvium forms a narrow belt along the Mahanadi River, comprising, sand, gravel, clay and silt in varying proportions. The characteristics features of this valley fill alluvium is, its

33 | P a g e

occurrence along the left bank of the River attaining a thickness ranging from 15 to 40 m. The alluvium of the Mahanadi conceals the contact of Chandrapur sandstone with the limestone of Charmuriya Formation.

The rocks of the area and adjoining are belonging to Dongargarh Granite of Palaeoproterozoic Age. The Dongargarh Granite occurs as a batholiths covering an area of about 8,000 sq km in Rajnandgaon-Kanker-Bastar and Dhamtari Districts forming the central part of Bastar Province. The batholiths comprises three distinct plutons, these plutons are oval in shape, elongate along N-S to NNE-SSW and generally taper to south.

3.3 Transportation of Sand

The sand is not a insitu materials but being carried out by flowing water during the monsoon every year from various catchment areas of the river and getting accumulated at convenient locations like bends, escarpments etc. and as such the sand of the lease area is a carried material brought from various locations and getting accumulated at convenient places in the flow direction of the River. The size of the accumulated sand varies due to the time factor taken by the river as well as the quantity of flow water. The depositions normally take place on winding course (bends)/meanders/loops/circuitous journey (of a river) in flow direction. Normally, the flow velocity of fined to coarse sand is ranging from 0.3 m /sec to 0.6 m /sec respectively.

3.4 Location Details with coordinates. Enclosed Location Map in Annexure as Maps

The detail of the area is as under: District : Uttar Bastar Kanker Tehsil : Charama Village : Saradhunawagaon Area (ha) : 6.0 Hectare

The coordinates of the area :

Corners Latitude Longitude A 20° 28’ 33.30” 81° 24’ 42.26” B 20° 28’ 38.46” 81° 24’ 42.77” C 20° 28’ 30.94” 81° 24’ 54.87” D 20° 28’ 26.59” 81° 24’ 53.61” 3.5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE

It is necessary that one should try to find various alternatives and what is environmentally best being preferred. There can be many points for which alternatives must be found. This is attempted here, irrespective of whether scoping has asked so or not. This is done voluntarily and submitted herein below.

Alternatives: A number of decisions are required to be taken and for each step. Selection is thus all the more critical in an industrial development where time, economic cost, environment and natural resources are at stake.

Site alternatives: No alternate site has been considered for the project

The sand mine is located at Saradhunawagaon, Tehsil Charama & District is Uttar Bastar Kanker in Chhattisgarh State. The site is well approachable No endangered species are found in the proposed site. Easy availability of manpower in nearby villages.

On this examination, the present site was selected for the proposed lease area. The site indeed has served the purpose well resulting in minimal impact on environment.

3.6 Magnitude of operation

It has already been mentioned that the area is falling in the river bed of Mahanadi River on the southern bank of the river. Since, the sand area falling in the riverbed, the general surface level of the lease area is comparatively lower than the surroundings. The sand mine area is very much within the River. The flow direction of the River is towards north east direction. The area is about 4 m below from the general surface level.

35 | P a g e

The method of mining operation will be in small scale. By virtue of the market demand intending to the regional and economical growth of the region; the proposed production will be 85000 Tons per year. Since, there will not be pit formation, hence development of pit is not considered and sand is deposited directly in every monsoon. As mentioned previously, lease area located within the river bed and there will be continuous deposition in the area every year during monsoon and sand will get refilled wherever mined out area during the year. So the mining activity need not be properly lined out as seen the other mineral cases. In the case of sand mining, the mined out areas will get refilled during monsoon and again mining can be carried out in same location.

Due to above reason, a mining zone has been marked for five year production and mining can be done in anywhere within the mining zone. Since, mining will not be possible during rainy season; the working will be carried out only about 8 months and working days considered as max. 240 days in a year.

3.7 Method of Mining

The proposed method of mining was open-cast manual. The mining and loading will be carried out manually. The sand will be extracted by phased manner, two stages maintaining pit slope at about 300.


Since, there will not be pit formation, hence development of pit is not considered and sand is deposited directly in every monsoon. As mentioned previously, lease area located within the river bed and there will be continuous deposition in the area every year during monsoon and sand will get refilled wherever mined out area during the year. So the mining activity need not be properly lined out as seen the other mineral cases. In the case of sand mining, the mined out areas will get refilled during monsoon and again mining can be carried out in same location.

Since, mining will not be possible during rainy season; the working will be carried out only about 8 months and working days considered as max. 240 days in a year. No drilling and blasting is required, since the sand is a loose / semi-compact / incompact formation. The production of sand has been proposed to about 50,000 cum (85,000 tonnes) per annum.

Total lease area is 60,000 sq m (6.00 Ha) and the area available for mining is about 51,900 sq m. (5.19 Ha).

Total mineable reserves of sand is 1,55,700 cum (2,64,690 tonnes) thus per hectare about 30,000 cum (51,000 T) sand is available for extraction.

Hence, about 30,000 cum per hectare sand extraction can be done or 1,55,700 cum in the workable lease area as and when required depend on market demand.

36 | P a g e

Considering the replenishment of sand and available reserve, about 50,000 cum (85,000 T) sand can be safely extracted per year.

Annually 50,000 cum (85,000 T) in 5.19 Ha area or say about 9,634 cum (16,378 T) sand per hectare per year can be extracting from this site.

Haulage and Transporting:

For transportation of loadable sand from lease area to consumers, mostly 6 cu.m dumpers/tippers will be utilized.

ROM 1 Production during a year 50,000 cum 2 Excavation per day (taking 240 wkg days) 208 cum 3 Dumper capacity 6 cum 4 One dumper can carry (as safety measures) 5 cum 5 Nos. of trips required per day (208 / 5 = 41.6) Say 42 trips

3.8 Water Requirement:

Water is required for mining operations/establishment mainly for sprinkling on haulage roads and at faces for suppression of dust. Water is also required for washing and servicing utilities for equipment. Water requirement for the proposed mining activity is about 6 m3/day. Plantation: 4 KLPD Drinking/Domestic: 2 KLPD Source: Hired Water Tanker

4.0 SITE ANALYSIS 4.1 Connectivity:

The area can be approached from Dhamtari-Charama-Kanker national highway road. After 3.8 km from charama towards kanker there is a diversion towards left hand side. The area is well connected from fair weather road which is at a distance of 3.7 km from the lease area.(Road distance)

The lease area is falling in the river bed of Mahanadi River on the south west bank of the

river. Since, the sand area falling in the riverbed, the general surface level of the lease area is

comparatively lower than the surroundings. The general ground level is around 360 mRL on

the river bank and on the river bed, the surface level is about 356 mRL, thus the area is

about 4 m below from the general surface level. The flow direction of River is towards north

east direction.

4.2 Climate

The climate of this region is moderate to extreme – intensely hot in summer and moderately

cold in winter. The temperature in summer goes up to 47°C. and in winter comes down 6°C.

The average rainfall is around 1100 mm. (based on ten year average) with maximum

37 | P a g e

precipitation during monsoon months, commencing from mid June to mid September. Wind

direction varies in summer and winter seasons. It blows West & South West directions in

the summer season and mostly North East direction in the winter season. Five years

average (2002 – 2007) Wind speed recorded in the area is maximum 27kms/hr in May

months and minimum 2kms/hr in the October months.

5.0 PLANNING BRIEF

7.0 REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R & R) PLAN

The river bed material normally consists of sand (< 2 mm size), small gravels (> 2mm < 20 mm size) and gravels (>200 mm size). These materials comes down mostly rolling over the river bed from steep stream/river slopes and settles down when the velocity of flowing water decrease at the confluence of hilly & plain areas. The deposition of these materials diverts the river flow in different direction thus forming islands varying sizes. These islands are dynamic in nature and their location is not fixed. The river flow may strike left or right bank of the depending upon the rate of discharge, type and volume of river bed material (RBM) brought from a rain storm etc. this phenomenon may not become significant in a year or two but has its effect over longer period of time.

Principally the extraction of annual quantity of RBM should not be exceeding the RBM brought during the monsoon of that year. However, the recommended quantity of extraction of RBM is limited to 30 to 90% of the RBM brought during the monsoon. Methodology of extraction of RBM is more critical / relevant than quantity of extraction of RBM. Improper method of extraction of RBM of even less quantity may be more critical. As the replenishment of sand in monsoon season is a regular process. Based on the last five years observation, it’s experienced that the average 3 m sand has been replenished every year.

Development works undertaken on river/stream bank becomes vulnerable due to frequent striking of river/stream flow on river bank. It therefore becomes necessary to guide the flow to the centre of the river/stream. Extraction of RBM with proper and careful method is one of such measures to channelize the flow to the centre so as to avoid stream bank erosion. The other measures are treatment of catchment with suitable soil and water conservation measures so that the soil/gravel are not carried out down from their location; following drainage line treatment viz spurs, retards, wattling, planting of suitable vegetation on river bank etc.

Plantation will be carried preferably on the River bank and also along the road used for transportation or the area proposed by the Gram Panchayat.
