To,Respected,Member Secretary,S.E.A.C.,Paryavaran Bhavan,Sec., 10/A,Gandhingar.

Sir,

I, the applicant Dhruv Stone Quarry applied a quaryy lease of minor

mineral “Ordinary Sand” by the Collector, Tapi (Gujarat) on Tapi Nadi, Opp

.Sr.No.1,92 Ne lagu Block no.-A of Vill : Chinchoda, Ta : Nizar, Dist. Tapi,

Gujarat for the lease area of 06-00-00 Ha.

According to the direction of Honourable Supreme Court of India,

MoEF’s OM dt. 18th May 2012 and latest amendment of the EIA Notification

on 9th September 2013, environmental clearance is required to be obtained for

our mining project.

You are well aware that the last term of the S.E.A.C. and S.E.I.A.A. for

Gujarat State is already expired in July, 2013 and presently there is no

S.E.A.C. and S.E.I.A.A. for Gujarat State. Kindly note that in absence of

S.E.A.C. and S.E.I.A.A. for the Gujarat State, previous secretariat of S.E.A.C.

and S.E.I.A.A. located at Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) has stopped

accepting all kind of environmental clearance applications.

Para 4 (iii) of the EIA Notification, 2006, states that “In the absence ofa duly constituted SEIAA or SEAC, a Category ‘B’ project shall be

5

considered at the Central Level as a Category ‘B’ project”. In view of this

provision, though our project falls under B category project, we are required to

submit our application at the central level Expert Appraisal Committee for

consideration. It may be noted that the District Collectorate is neither granting

new lease nor renewing the Proposed lease for want of environmental

clearance. Due to this, we are unable to continue mining operations and

losing our only source of income and livelihood.

In consideration of above, we humbly request you to accept our

application to accord environmental clearance at the earliest.

We commit to undertake only controlled blasting for minimizing noise and vibration from

blasting operation. We request you to consider our project as B2 category project looking to

tiny scale of our project and negligible potential of environmental impacts.

“I hereby given undertake that the data and information given in the application and

enclosures are true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I am aware that if any part of

the data and information submitted is found to be false or misleading at any stage, the
