5.0 Planning Brief
5.1 Planning Concept:
Opencast semi-mechanized method of mining is proposed in the lease area. To meet required production wagon drilling & deep hole blasting shall be carried out. The blasted material will be handled with excavator & loaded into dumpers. The height & width of bench shall be kept 6m with face slopes 70o. Secondary blasting with jackhammer drilling shall be carried out if required.
5.2 Population Projection: Manpower required will be engaged from nearby areas. No significant influx of people is anticipated in the area.
5.3 Land use planning (breakup along with green belt etc.) The area likely to be degraded due to quarrying, pitting & roads: The impact on the land form or Physiography will be limited to the modification of the slope. The land scape and land use will undergo a radical change due to open cast mining. The impact during next five years is limited as benches will be formed on the already degraded land. Besides these benches, roads will
Page 8 Project: Sand Stone (Gitti-Patthar, Boulder) Mining Proponent: M/s Dilip Buildcon Limited Bhukhand/Plot No. 1 Me, Khand No. 2, 3 Area: 4.04 Ha (10.0 Acres), Village: Belhat, Tehsil: Koraon, District: Allahabad (U. P.) Pre- Feasibility Report also modify the Physiography.
Note: The applied area is too small & entire applied area has been degraded by mining pits. Mining during plan period and conceptual period shall be carried out within degraded area and no fresh area shall be disturbed. Therefore, the broken area will be same as an end of plan period and end of conceptual period except depth of quarry.
5.4 Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (Physical & Social) Temporary office and stores will be provided in the mining area. Specified first-aid box with all necessary facilities will be maintained at the site office. Communication services like post office and telephones are available in the nearby village. Some of the villagers are having mobile phones.
5.5 Amenities/Facilities Additional facilities will be made as per the requirement. Arrangements for safe and healthy working conditions. Provision of Drinking water from nearby villages or through tankers in dry period.
Transport of Men and Material: Workers from nearby villages will be engaged for mining and transportation purposes. They will come for work on foot. The material from the mine will be transported by trucks / dumpers.
6. Proposed Infrastructure
6.1 Industrial Area (Processing Area) No infrastructure is proposed.
6.2 Residential Area (Non Processing Area) As local workers from nearby areas will be engaged for the mining activity, no residential area/ housing are proposed.
6.3 Green Belt/Afforestation: The lease area is marked by large exposure of barren land. The lease area is rocky terrain so it is not feasible to undertake the plantation with in lease hold. The plantation will be undertaken outside the lease
area.In every year about 50m length and 7.5 m width of buffer zone will be planted on side of the area. About 15 saplings consisting of Ficus religosa (pipal), Boswellia serrata (Salai), Shorea robusta (sal) and tactone grandis (teak) Mangifera indica (Aam), Emblica officinalis (Anwala), Aegle marmerlos (Ibei) etc. will be planted per year over an area of 50 m x 7.5 m grid interval. The plantation raised earlier should be carefully maintained. Mortalities should be replaced by fresh planting.
Post Plantation Care: Following precaution to be undertaken for survival of plants: i) The samplings will be undertaken for survival of plants. ii) Plants will be taken care by applying fertilizers and proper wedding etc. iii) Healthy tree species will be recommends for plantation. iv) Fatal saplings will be replaced with new healthy saplings.

9.0 Analysis of proposal (Final Recommendations) There will be direct and indirect employment at the first instance. The employment will be given to locals. Further, the share of indirect employment like increased purchasing power, dhabas and retail shops etc. is largely shared by local residents. The most important aspect of the project is the land under mining is almost rocky and barren and not providing any income to the owner, implying that there will be no significant impact on the
livelihood of residents. Finally, all aggregate will be used in construction of road, which otherwise is a contribution towards building nation.
9.1 Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people including tribal population, If any, In the area No tribal population is residing in the study area. There will be social benefits from the mining operations. The core benefit of the proposed expansion is the availability of stone in construction industries.
10.0 CONCLUSION It is predicted that socio-economic impact due to this project will positively increase the chance of more employment opportunities for local inhabitants. There are no Resettlement and Rehabilitation issues involved in this project. The project infrastructures will be of use to people of the area. The revenue of the State Govt. will be definitely increasing due to the proposed activity. The entire project area is devoid of any endangered flora and fauna. It is proposed to reclaim the land and develop green cover for eco-restoration with native species to a maximum possible extent. Thus the proposed project is not likely to affect the environment or adjacent ecosystem adversely.
