MT and the quantity of top soil be 500 MT during five years.

2.3. Need for the project & its significance for country or region

The project involves collection of sand, one of the most accessibly natural resources

and is a major basic raw material used for the construction of buildings and bridges

and now in roads also. The production of mineral is a function of the availability of

natural resources, the economy of the area and the various developmental and

Infrastructural works being undertaken in the area like road construction,

hydroelectric projects etc. And thus, the demand of sand has increased considerably

for the construction of buildings and other infrastructures. It is considered as one of

the most effective construction material ever used. Due to innumerable uses of sand, it

has been a highly in-demand product in the construction industry.



17


2.4. Demand & Supply gap

Building huge infrastructure as being envisaged by Government of India particularly

in road and housing sectors require basic building raw materials. So, the demand of

Sand is ever growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our country. The

requirement for the minerals is always high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore,

there is always a good demand of mineral in the domestic market.

2.5 Imports vs Indigenous production

The demand of Sand is high in the domestic market. First of all the friable

quartzarinite sand is extracted from the mining site and after sieving, its friable sand

granules are grinded to convert into sand and then sieved sand and pulverized sand is

mixed together and sold to the consumers. The mineral is abundant in the proposed

mining area and can be excavated indigenously.

2.6 Export possibility

There is no proposal for export of the mineral. There is already a high demand in the

domestic market to which the extracted mineral can cater.

2.7 Domestic/Export markets

There is an ever increasing demand of mineral in the domestic market.

Export Market: The proposed mining is for indigenous consumption for real state,

road making etc. so there is no proposal of export of Sand.



18


2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to project

The total manpower required for the existing mining project is around 20-25

individuals including the workers engaged at grinding machine. Indirect employment

is also expected due to the associated activities.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Type of project including interlinked and interdependent project, if any

The existing project is a hill slope mining of friable quartzarinite sand which will be

extracted in its existing form and after sieving, its sand granules are grinded to

convert into sand and then sieved sand and grinded sand is mixed together and sold to

the consumers. A grinding machine/pulverizer is proposed to be installed to grind the

friable sand granules.

3.2 Location

The mining lease area is located in Mohal & Mauza Dhar, Tehsil & District Solan,

Himachal Pradesh. The co-ordinates of the mining lease area are :

Latitude: 300 52' 9.63'' N

Longitude: 770 10' 33.39'' E



19


3.3 Details of alternative sites

Minerals are site specific and letter of intent for the grant of mining lease has been

issued for this particular area, hence, no alternative site is examined for mining.

3.4 Size or magnitude of operation

The letter of intent for the grant of mining lease has been issued over an area of 17-13

Bighas ( 1-37-04 hectare). The maximum rated capacity of the project will be 21100

MT of sand per annum (fifth year) which will be excavated in seven number of

benches of 6x6m

3.5 Project description with process details method of mining

This is an open cast hill slope mining project, confined to extraction of Sand from the

proposed mining site. The operation will be manual with use of hand tools like crow

bars,shovel, pan sieves etc. The mineral will be collected in shape of friable unsieved

sand and after sieving, the sand granules shall be grinded to convert into sand and

then sieved sand and grinded sand is mixed together and sold to the consumers.

Excavation will be carried out in seven number of benches of 6x6m.

The sequence of mining proposed to be undertaken is as follows:

11400 MT of mine waste and 500 M.T. of top soil shall be generated in five

years. The top soil shall be stacked at proper place. The friable quartzarinite sand in

its existing form shall be sieved and the sand granules left after sieving shall be

grinded in the pulverizer to make sand. Thereafter sieved and pulverized sand shall be

mixed together and shall be sold to the consumers. The waste so generated shall be

dumped at proper places as indicated in the approved mining plan and the top soil

shall be spread over the exhausted benches for the purposes of plantation. This will

help in improving the greenery and environment of the area.



20


3.6 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing

area of final products mode of transport of raw material and finished product

No raw material is required in the existing project. The friable quartzarinite sand in its

existing form shall be sieved and the sand granules left after sieving shall be grinded

in the pulverizer to make sand. The raw material shall be brought to the grinding

machine through hand driven trolleys. Thereafter sieved and pulverized sand shall be

mixed together & transported to the road head through conveyor/ rope way and shall

be sold /transported to the consumers through tippers/trucks.

3.7 Resource optimization/recycling and reuse

Friable raw sand is generally a depleting assets. Once mined or excavated from the

mining area cannot be replaced or reused as the project is based on hill slope mining

and no replenishment can be done.

3.8 Availability of water, its source energy/power requirement and source

Water requirement:

Activity Water Requirement (KLD)

Dust suppression 0.5 KLD

Domestic use 0.5 KLD

Plantation 0.5 KLD

Total 1.5 KLD

Thus the total requirement of water will be 1.5 KLD. The water shall be procured

from the water supplier of the local area who has its own water source, for which an

undertaking of water supplier has been obtained in shape of an affidavit.



21


Power requirement:

All mining activities will be carried out in a manual/semi mechanized manner. The

material will be extracted and loaded into hand driven trolleys by the workers

themselves. The operation will be done only from sunrise to sunset. So, there is no

power requirement for the mining activities. But the fuel is required to run the

pulverizer or grinding machine.

3.9 Quantity of wastes to be generated (Liquid and Solid) and scheme for their

management/disposal

Solid waste generated and its disposal: A solid waste of 11400 MT and 500 MT of

top soil will be generated during five years. The mine waste so generated will be

dumped at proper places. Some part of it shall be used for making parapet walls as

suggested in the mining plan to control the rolling debris on slopes. The top soil shall

be stacked at the places as suggessted in the Mining Plan for spreading the same on

the exhausted mining benches for making the land suitable for plantation.

Liquid Effluent: No liquid effluent will be generated at the mine site due to the

minerals excavation.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGMENT PLAN

1. Introduction:

When mining is done to excavate the minerals to fulfill the requirements of the human

beings, this cause certainly an adverse effect on the environment prevailing around the area

from where these are being extracted. The necessity is this, to reduce such adverse impacts by

applying certain mitigation measures so that the need of these minerals are also met for the

benefit of the humanity without causing large scale harm to the environment. The measures to

reduce these impacts are being discussed in the following paragraphs:

1.1 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN ( EMP)

This Environment Management Plan is being proposed for the excavation of friable

quartzarinite sand to be converted into sand by installing a pulverizer/grinding machine. The

proposed mining site is located in Mohal & Mouza Dhar, Tehsil & District Solan, H.P.

1.2 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT

The mining in the proposed mining lease area may cause degradation in the exiting form of

the land and it can change into terraced land instead of hill slope. It can also spoil the

greenery of grass or bushes in the process of excavation of mineral. The mining activities can

also give rise to the unwanted land slides.

1.2.1 MITIGATION MEASURES

To promote greenery in the mining area, plantation shall be done on the exhausted benches.

The apprehension of land slide can be minimized by erecting retaining structures on the hill

slope and this measure can also help in controlling the rolling scree on the slopes.

1.3 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT

Minor particles of dust resulted from the mining activities can be transported by the rains and

may pollute the surface water. These activities can also disturb the under ground water

regime.


The proposed mining lease area is located on the hill slope and there is no natural source of

water near it which can be affected by the process of transportation of the dust/minor wastes

generated in the process of mining. The water table of the under ground water is also very

deep and can not be disturbed due to the formation of 6x6m benches.



35


1.4 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT

Mining activities may cause emission of dust which can pollute the environment.


As the mining in the proposed mining area will done manually or some time in a semi

mechanized manner, so the generation of dust emission is negligible as compared to the other

activities. Moreover, the habitation is quite far away and having no effect on air of this

negligible emission of dust.

1.5 IMPACT ON NOISE ENVIRONMENT

The mining in the proposed mining lease area can create noise around the surrounding area

and can disturb the habitation & fauna of the area.


The proposed mining area is located on a hill slope and habitation is quite far away from it.

Moreover, no blasting will be done in the mining area. Hence no noise or vibrations be

resulted due to mining. Some noise may generate due to plying of vehicles carrying the

finished product/sand to the consumers/market which can be controlled by lubricating the

machinery time to time. There is no wildlife near the mining area which could be disturbed

by the mining people or mining activities.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT

The proposed mining lease area is located on hill slope which is prone to some risk

hazards but there will not be any major risk hazard associated with the mining process. The

possible risk hazards may be as follows:

• Land slides

• Accidents during grinding of friable granules of sand

• Accidents during loading

• Accidents during transportation &

• Earthquakes

LAND SLIDES AND MEASURES FOR THEIR REDUCTION

As the mining area is located on hill slope and made up of friable jointed and

fractured quartzarinite sand, hence, possibilities are there for the development of land slide.

Therefore, it will be in the interest of safety of the labors to maintain the height of the mining

benches as suggested in the approved mining plan i.e. 6x6 m dimensions. Besides this no

work should be carried out during monsoon and rains when the possibilities are there of

sliding down the rock mass.

ACCIDENTS DURING GRINDING AND MEASURES TO CONTROL THEM

Excavated friable sand should be fed for grinding in the machine through a

chute from a safe distance with the help of hand driven trolleys and a platform be constructed

with a sufficient hole so that the material brought from the mining site can be loaded in this

hole and slide down with the gravitational force to reach the grinding machine. So that there

may not be any accident due to slipping of labor.

ACCIDENTS DURING LOADING & PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Accident may occur during loading and transportation of sand. The excavated

sand should be loaded in tippers with the help of a chute. So that there may not be any

danger to the mine workers.



38


ACCIDENTS DURING TRANSPORTATION AND THEIR SAFETY

To avoid any accident during transportation, the vehicles will be periodically

checked and maintained properly. No over loading will be allowed. The tippers/trucks will be

covered to prevent any spillage. The speed of the vehicles will be limited to 20 Km per hr.

and drivers with proper driving licenses will be employed.

ACCIDENTAL RISK DURING EARTHQUAKES & MITIGATION MEASURES

9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)

The project will bring economical benefits to the state by way of Royalty on

minor mineral and other taxes as applicable from time to time. The local Panchayat

shall also get cess on the production of mineral on the specified rates approved by the

Government. Achieving a huge infrastructure as being envisaged by Government of

India particularly in road and building sector requires basic building material. The

mining activities as proposed/exiting are the backbone of all construction and

infrastructure projects as the raw material for construction is available only from such

mining. Sand extracted is in high demand at the local market for real estate industry.

This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the

society/economically backward population. It provides employment to the people

residing in vicinity directly or indirectly. Thus the project brings about socio-

economic improvement of the area and will prove beneficial to the area.
