Land Use Pattern

(Forest, agricultural, grading,

barren, etc.)

Area of sand removal is 1.28 ha. The

sand removal area is 10 m away from

the Nala bank, hence no area have been

demarcated as restricted/ blocked. For

safe and systematic working it is

proposed to remove only 25600 cubic

meters sand.

The area under study is non forest, non

agricultural situated.

Scanty small shrubs and bushes are on

the bank of the Nala.

CHAPTER-3

TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY OF THE AREA

Briefly describe the general topography explaining whether it is a Plain land or hilly

area and local geology of the mineral deposit.

1.Topography:

The area notified for sand removal is falls in the bed of Phuljhar Nala. Phuljhar

Nala seasonal source of water. The area is about 1.5 km North of Chhatarpur

village. The maximum elevation is about 538 m from M.S.L and minimum is

534m. The general ground slope is towards northwest direction. The area is almost

flat, with scanty vegetation.

The climate of Surajpur is of extreme nature, i.e. very hot in the summers and

biting cold in the winters.

2. Geology:

Geological sequence of Surajpur district ranges from Archaean to Recent

formations. Granitoids and the metasediments belonging to Chhota Nagpur

gneissic complex, form the basement to the overlying Gondwana sediments and

Deccan traps. Archaeans have limited exposures in northern, southern and eastern

parts of the district. Chhota Nagpur gneissic complex is exposed in the cental part

of the district where as Gondwana super group is dominant in northern and

southern parts. Deccan trap basalt is exposed in northern and southern part along

with the Gondwana rocks.



6

Gondwana rocks of northern area comprises of Mahadeva, Panchet, Supra Panchet

formation with limited exposures of Talchir, Raniganj and Barakars whereas in the

southern part Gondwana rock belong chiefly to Talchir and Barakar group.

The Precambrian metamorphics of Archaean to Proterozoic age comprise granite

gneiss, amphibolites, metasediments etc. Pegmatite and quartz veins forms minor

intrusive.

The Panchet formation comprises of green to whitish felspathic sandstone, Supra

Panchet formation is predominantly made up of quartz arenite with minor shale

intercalations. Raniganj formation the Upper coal measures in the area. It consists

of Sandstone, shale and carbonaceous shale with coal seams.

Gondwana rocks being the most dominant litho-units represents most important

mineral bearing horizon.

CHAPTER-4

RESERVES

Chhatarpur Sand Area:

Collector Surajpur notified the Chhatarpur sand area for the removal of sand and

its marketing through the Gram Panchayat Chhatarpur.

Chhatarpur sand area is situated about 1.5km from village Chhatarpur in Phuljhar

Nala. Phuljhar is a Seasonal Nala. It flows Southeast to Northwest direction near

village Chhatarpur. The Nala has a gentle slope towards North. The gentle slope of

the area is the main reason for having sufficient quantity of sand available for

removal. The average thickness of sand above the Nala bed is more than 3 meters

as the depth has been confirmed by putting some pits/already as excavated part in

the Nala bed, while the sand available above water flow is about 3m in general.

The sand available in the area is fine to medium-grained, good for use in

construction purposes.

Reserve of sand and its viable extraction:

In general, the thickness of sand is more than 3m including above water level it is 3

meters or more. Only 2meter column of the sand will be removed above the water

level. Hence taking the average 3 m thickness of sand the measured reserve comes

to about 38,400 cubic meters.



8

The calculation details are as under:-

Total sand available 12800m2x3m = 38400 m3

Total extractable sand is 12800 m2 x 2 = 25600m3

Thus from measured sand reserve of about 38400 cubic meter only about 25600

cubic meter sand per year will be viably extracted without disturbing and effecting

the flow course of water level.

Method of removal of Sand:

The removal of sand will be done by manually through local labors and its

transportation will be through trucks/ tippers/tractors. The approach road up to the

working site and ramp will be mode for the smooth shipment of sand from the site.

During a year about 25600 cubic meter of sand may only be removed for smooth

transportation.

CHAPTER- 5 (a)

DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAMME

MINING METHOD :

Maximum depth of removal of ordinary sand (2 m from surface or up to water

table/bed rock whichever is less)

Mining will be carried out manually with the help of local labours, open cast method

adopting a system of shallow pit in sand.

The depth of working will be restricted to 2m.

No bench can be maintained in Nala sand hence bench wise mining cannot be proposed.

Due to continues accumulation of sand 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. Accordingly five year production plan can be envised as below:

Year wise production

2nd year 12800 3 m 38400 2.0 m 25600

3rd year 12800 3 m 38400 2.0 m 25600

Since, the removal of sand will not be possible during rainy season, the working will be

only about 8 months and working days considered as maximum 240 days in a year.

Taking all aspects in to consideration for smoothly removal of transportation of sand, the

removal of sand has been proposed to be about 25600 cubic meters per year.



10

Haulage and Transporting:

Mostly trucks/ tippers and tractors will be used for transportation of loadable sand from

the area to consumers.

1 Production during a year (taking 240 days of

working leaving rainy season)

25600 m3

2 Removal of sand per day 107 m3

3 Capacity per truck 10 m3

4 One truck can carry (as safety measures) 9m3

CHAPTER- 5 (b)

MANPOWER DEPLOYMENT

State average daily employment and statutory personals:

Unskilled 39 labors will be required for loading tractors/ trucks and skilled 1 person

required for supervision purpose.

* * * * *

CHAPTER- 5 (c)

USE OF MINERAL

Describe the utilization of mineral and type of industry.

Sand so extracted will be sold locally as building material. It is usually mixed with

cement and other ingredients to create mortar for building. It is also used in bricks

industry.

* * * * *



13

CHAPTER-6

WASTE DISPOAL ARRANGEMENTS

No waste material will be generated hence waste disposal arrangements are not required.

*******



14

CHAPTER-7

RECLAMATION PLAN

The removal of sand from the Nala bed only, without disturbing the water flow and the

water level in the Nala area under study. Phuljhar Nala that is a seasonal source of water.

The sand removed from the area will be automatically accumulated / filled up during

rainy season.

This is an automatic natural activity hence special plan for reclamation of the area is not

required.

Plantation will be carried preferably on the Nala bank and along the road used for

transportation or the area proposed by the Gram Panchayat.

As discussed earlier the area of sand removal is the Phuljhar Nala bed. Hence, no specific

land use pattern and reclamation plan is required.

CHAPTER-8

STRATEGY FOR PROTECTION OF RIVER COURSE, NALAS, WATER TANK,

VILLAGES, IMPORTANT MONUMENTS, IF ANY

Briefly outline the proposed strategies (if any) for protection of following:

(a) River: Sand only be removed 2meter above water level without disturbing the water

flow, hence any strategy for protection to save river course is not required. The

proposed plantation on the river bank will be taken up to protect embankment.

(b) Nala: Nalas are not affected, as they are untouched during removal of sand from the

area.

(c) Water Tank: The area located in the Phuljhar Nala bed is sufficiently away from

sensitive man made land uses like water tanks, hospitals.

(d) Village / houses / hutment: The project will have no effect on any type class of

vulnerable people and being no requirement of agricultural material during any phase

of project, no wastes will be generated.

(e) Important monument: There is no important monument within the 10 km radius

from the lease area.
