4.3 Geology Regional Geology The Himalayan mountain system roughly surrounds the northern . The mountain ranges extend for over 2400 km length from west to east. Geology of the is extremely complex as it represents a site of continental collision. The collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate led to joining of the two continents along a suture zone represented by a lineament. Two rivers -- Indus in the west and Tsangpo in the east flow along this lineament which is also known as Indus suture zone. We will study the geology of the terrain between the Indus suture zone in the north and the Indo- Gangetic alluvial plains in the south. Tectonically the Himalayas can be divided into four roughly parallel zones. From north to south the zones are:

 Tethyan Himalayas  Central Crystalline Zone  Lesser Himalayas  Outer Himalayas The Central Crystalline Zone is made of Precambrian basement rocks mixed with granitic intrusions of Tertiary age. This zone has the highest mountain ranges of the Himalayas. This zone separates the northern Tethyan Himalayas from the southern Lesser Himalayas. These two zones contain sedimentary rocks of Palaeozoic-Mesozoic ages deposited over Precambrian basement. Whereas the Tethyan Himalayas consists of a fairly continuous succession rich in fossils, the Lesser Himalayas host rocks with scanty fossil records and with gaps in between. The Outer Himalayas forms a separate geological unit consisting of Quaternary sedimentary rocks originating from the rising Himalayas. Each of these zones displays a highly complex geology disturbed by the Himalayan Mountain building processes. The geology of the Lesser Himalayas is particularly difficult to decipher because it contains several thrust sheets or nappes and is generally devoid of fossils. GEOLOGICALLY Himachal Pradesh can be broadly divided into two major geo-tectonic zones viz. the Lesser Himalayan tectogen in the south and the Tethys Himalayan Tectogen in the north. These two tectonic zones are juxtaposed with each other along a major tectonic break collectively designated as Main Central Thrust in the sense defined by Srikantia (1988). lying within the Lesser Himalaya and the Shiwalik Foothill comprises rocks ranging in age from MINOR MINERAL MINING PROJECT FOR STONE AND BAJRI APPLICANT: SHRI ASHISH SHARMA S/O SH VED PRAKASH PRE- FEASIBILITY REPORT

Proterozoic to Quaternary. The oldest rocks are of undifferentiated Proterozoic age, comprising carbonaceous phyllite, schist, gneiss, quartzite and marble. The Ghoghar Dhar (Undifferentiated Proterozoic age) occurs as an intrusive body within the Chail Group of rock. This granite body is well foliated and composed of gneisses, granite with minor aplite and basic veinlets. The Sundernagar Group of Rocks of Meso- Proterozoic age is represented by quartzite with basic flows. The Shali Group of Rocks (Meso- Proterozoic) Comprising limestone, dolomite, (at places stromatolites) slate, & quartzite. The Subathu consists mainly, of olive green shales and grey shales. At the top, a band of white quartzite is exposed; this band of white quartzite has been taken as the marker, defining the top of the Subathu sequence. The thick sequence of brackish and fresh water sediments immediately succeeding the fossiliferous marine Subathu are classified as Formation. The Dharamshala Formation are widely exposed in the Mandi parautochthon, further west in the autochthon, these rocks are exposed, in the core of the anticline. The Shiwalik Group of Middle Miocene of Early Pleistocene age comprises coarse clastic fluviatile deposits of sandstone, clay and conglomerates. The Quaternary sediments (Older Alluvium and Newer Alluvium) along prominent channels consisting of sand, silt, clay, pebbles and cobbles occurring along present channels of Middle to Late Pleione and Holocene age.

Local Geology The local geological sequence in the area is given in the figure 8 and stratigraphy of the area is given in the table -4.

Geological Conditions of Catchment Geomorphologically the tributary flows through the moderately steep to steep low hills and intervening valleys of the Shiwaliks. The valley is controlled by geological structures. Almost all course after Gharan is through structural valley. Geotechnically the area represented by Himayalan foredeep zone of structural ridges and valleys. The catchment is represented by the Sub- Himalayan belt of soft to moderately hard sediments provenience of engineering geology. The rocks on both bank are represented boulder conglomerates up to confluence of Hareta Khad then by moderately hard Sandstone and clay bands of Siwalik Group belonging to Middle Miocene to Early Pleistocene age.

The catchment on left bank is controlled by Barsar Thrust and on right bank by major fault.

4.4 Existing Land Use Pattern and Shortest Distances from Forests, Water Bodies, Eco- Sensitive Areas, Etc. The mining lease area is situated on a hill slope. The land, in which the mining lease lies, is at present an un-cultivable land. The lease area consists of few shrubs and weeds. There is no eco-sensitive area within 15 km radius of mine lease area.

4.5 Existing Infrastructure The site has no existing infrastructure, except for connecting road for transportation. 4.6 Geomorphology & Soils (Central Ground Water Board, Hamirpur, Ministry of Water Resources, District Book 2013) The terrain of the district is mostly hilly and undulating. The surface elevation ranges from 400 m to 600 m amsl along the Beas river valley and in lower reaches of Kunah Khad in the northern part of the district. The elevation is more than 900 m above msl in the eastern part of the district. The altitudinal variation in-general, ranges between 600 m to 900 m above msl. Sola Singhi hill ranges forms the western boundary of the district, with a maximum elevation of 1145 m above msl. Deep gulleys and gorges are formed in the north-eastern part of the district. The river / khad valleys are broad in the southern part of the district, mainly along the Sukar and Sir Khad in Bhorang-- Dhankar areas. In the drainage basin of Beas River, the general ground slope is towards north, while in the Sutlej River this slope is towards south.

Hamirpur district forms a part of drainage system of the Beas River in the northern and western parts, whereas in the eastern and southern parts Sutlej River system drains the areas . The drainage pattern is dendritic to sub dendritic. Drainage density is coarse to medium.

The Beas River: The entire drainage of the Beas River above Pandoh (Mandi) has been diverted to Govind Sagar (The Sutlej River).The river receives only regulated flows downstream of Pandoh and the flows contributed by the , Neogal Khad and Binwa Khad along with the other minor seasonal rivers/Khads directly join the river Beas. Other important tributaries of Beas are Baker, Salagi, Nauli, Maili and Jangled Khads. In Hamirpur district’s, Kunah and Man khads are the major streams. These along with other major khads join the Beas River. MINOR MINERAL MINING PROJECT FOR STONE AND BAJRI APPLICANT: SHRI ASHISH SHARMA S/O SH VED PRAKASH PRE- FEASIBILITY REPORT

Kunah Khad: Kunah is the most important tributary of the Beas River in the district. . Major tributaries of this khad are Sukar, Jhaniari, Gasota, Hathali and Sukrala Khads. These khads are perennial and have floods during rainy season.

Man Khad: Man Khad is another perennial tributary of Beas River which originates near Deotsidh and flows towards NNW, to join Beas River to the west of Nadaun. Important tributaries of this khad are Haretta, Bambloo and Matwara Khads.

Sukkar Khad: Sukkar and Sir Khads are the main khads joining the Sutlej River and Govind Sagar. These occupy the southernmost part of the district and flow towards south to directly fall into the Govind Sagar. These are ephemeral in the upper parts and become perennial in the lower parts.

Sir Khad: Sir Khad is another important khad, which is draining the eastern most part and flows towards east. This khad is ephemeral in upper catchment area and becomes perennial in lower parts.

4.7 Climatic Data from Secondary Sources Climate in various parts of the district, depend primarily much on the elevation, which varies from less than 200 meters to more than 1000 meters above mean sea level. The climate can broadly be divided into three broad seasons viz. winters from October to March, summer season from April to June and monsoon season from July to September. The district receives moderate rainfall and bulk of it is received during the months of July and August. The average annual rainfall in the district is 1,340.72 mm, out of which 82% occurs during June to Sept.

5 Planning Brief 5.1 Planning Concept The project falls under the category of ‘Mining Industry’. The raw material that is stones, bajri and sand are available in the area granted for mining purposes under the ‘Himachal Pradesh Minor Minerals (Concession) and Prevention of Illegal Mining and Storage) Rules 2015’. The required unskilled and semiskilled workers are locally available. For transportation of minerals/material tractor trolleys/ tipper trucks will be deployed. These are readily available from the adjoining villages on hire. 5.2 Population Projection The requirement of unskilled semi-skilled workers for the mining and transportation of minerals to market and crushing site will be limited to about 15. The workers directly engaged for mining activity will be deployed for collection of minerals and loading it into tractor trolleys/tipper trucks. About four tractor trolleys/tipper trucks will be engaged daily as per demand for transporting material from the mining area to crushing unit. It is pertinent to mention that percentage of marginal workers in the area is 25 % and non-workers are 41 % percent as per 2011 census. Thus the project gives fruitful employment to local workers and help in stemming or at least reducing the migration of such workers to urban centre from the adjoining villages.

5.3 Land Use Planning (Break Up Along With Green Belt, Etc.) Within the lease area, open cast semi mechanised method as well as manuall as and when required. Mining will be carried out by bench formation from top to bottom shall be followed. At the conceptual stage of mine or mine closure stage complete excavated area will be reclaimed and plantation will be carried out.

5.4 Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (Physical & Social) Considering 300 working days in a year about 200 metric tons of minerals will be moved daily depending upon crusher demand. The transportation of this material will not put any load on the existing road or other local infrastructure as the crusher is in the adjoining land.

9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS) The Project will bring economical benefits to the state through royalty for minerals. Achieving a huge infrastructure as being envisaged by Government of India particularly in road and housing sector requires basic building materials. Stone and Bajri are the primary building material required for the construction purpose. The mining activities as proposed are the backbone of all construction and infrastructure projects as the raw material for construction is available only from such mining. Sand and Bajri extracted are 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 and tribals in the area. It provides employment to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly. The mine management will also help nearby villages by providing schools, conducting medical and social awareness camps, helping in formation of self help groups, etc. Thus the project will defiantly helpful for the socio-economic improvement of the area and will prove beneficial to the area. **********
