conditions)
The study area lies in Seismic Zone III.
However natural hazards due to
earthquakes are not anticipated to be a
major environmental issue owing to the
shallow mining depths. Also no major
structures are part of the proposed
development. Hence environmental
impacts due to the proposed
development are ruled out.
Erosion is not anticipated and is not
considered to be a significant feature in
case of flood, as the topsoil content is
almost preserved
Flooding may occur depending upon
the rainfall, however mining will not be
carried out during monsoon season.
No extreme/ adverse climatic
conditions are observed in the study
area.

(iii) Topography
Agricultural plain
Allahabad city, also known as Prayag, is an ancient holy city of India. The city of Allahabad is
situated at the confluence of two sacred rivers, the Yamuna and the Ganges. The confluence is known
as Sangam and is visited by thousands of Hindu pilgrims every year. Allahabad is among the largest
cities of Uttar Pradesh in terms of population and area. The geographical area of Allahabad is about
62 sq km (under Municipal Corporation). Its spatial extension falls at 25° 28’ N latitude and 81°54’ E
longitude. The district of Allahabad is surrounded by the Pratapgarh districts in the North, district
Jaunpur in the Northeast, Sant Ravidas Nagar and Mirjapur in the east, Kaushambi and Chitrakoot in
the west and the state of Madhya Pradesh in the South.
Allahabad has its own domestic airport, Bambruali, which is located 14 km from the city. Apart from
Indian Airlines, few private airlines also provide flight services to and from Allahabad. However,

nearby cities, i.e. Varanasi (147 km) and Lucknow (210 km) also have airports. Allahabad is well
connected by a network of trains to almost all major destinations throughout the country i.e. Kolkata,
Delhi, Patna, Guwahati, Chennai, Mumbai, Gwalior, Meerut, Lucknow, Kanpur and Varanasi.
Allahabad is located on National Highways 2 and 27. The government and private bus services are
available to and from Allahabad to all nearby major destinations.
Geology:
Regional Geology
The Ganga basin has been dominated by transvers river system since Pliocene due to erosion during
uplift that is symmetric subsidence of foreland. Large plio-Pleistocene sediment combines with less
asymmetric subsidence and uplift of the proximal fore land let to the pro gradation of the drainage
system that displaced the Yamuna River and after Allahabad Ganga River to edge of the foreland
basin. The Present river system consistent with erosion driven uplift adjacent Himalayan. The regional
geological setup is very well depicted in the map below;

Local Geology:
Geology map of Allahabad city shows the existence of Terrace Alluvium and Varanasi Alluvium as
geologic unit. The Varanasi Older Alluvium, a polycyclic sequence of yellowish brown clay- silt and
fine sand with dissemination of kankar, is exposed in the north of Yamuna. The Newer Alluvium is
characterized by unoxidized khaki and grey coloured sediments which consists predominantly of
micaceous sand, silt and clay. It has been divided into Terrace and Channel Alluvium. The Terrace

Alluvium of both Ganga and Yamuna are developed on a cut and eroded platform of Varanasi Older
Alluvium. The Terrace Alluvium of Ganga consists of multiple fill sequence of grayish sand, silt and
clay while that of Yamuna consists of medium to fine grained quartzo- feldspathic and grey
micaceous sand. Geology of the area is characterized by a thick pile of quaternary Alluvium
consisting of sand, graveland clay with occasional presence of thin to thick kankar intercalation.
(iv) Existing Land Use Pattern {agriculture, non-agriculture, forest, water bodies (including
area under CRZ)}, shortest distances from the periphery of the project to periphery of the
forests, national park, wild life sanctuary, eco sensitive areas, water bodies (distance from the
HFL of the river), CRZ. in case of notified industrial area, a copy of the gazette notification
The existing land use of mine lease area belongs to landuse category “Agricultural plain” and shall
continue to be so even after the current mining project is over.
(v) Existing infrastructure
The existing land use of mine lease area belongs to landuse category “Agricultural land” and shall
continue to be so even after the current mining project is over.
(vi) Soil Classification
Geologically the region is composed of Alluvium and dun gravels. The presences of large number of
canals indicate its agricultural prosperity. The level surface, alluvial Earth further provides impetus to
agricultural pursuits
(vii) Climatic data (secondary source): (District-Allahabad)
The study area is Allahabad Plateau zone and is subjected to vagaries of weather. The climate of the
project area is characterized by cool and dry climate. The year can be divided into three distinct
seasons; winters last from October to March followed by summers from April to June.
Temperature
In the plains during the summer season, the maximum temperature is of the order of 41.7°C and
minimum temperature of the order of 7.7 °C. With the onset of the southwest monsoon by about the
end of June day temperatures decrease while night temperatures remain as in the summer season.
During the post-monsoon season, mid-September to November, both day and night temperatures
begin to drop appreciably. January is the coldest month. In the plains during this month the mean
daily minimum temperature is of the order of 18.91°C and the daily maximum temperature of the
order of 32.47°C.
Humidity
During the southwest monsoon season the relative humidity is high and after the withdrawal of the
