INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent Application of mining for soil used in Brick kiln of Brick Earth Mining project– M/S Shiv Brick Field from Khasra/GataNos-321,133k,233,Area-2.262 Hectare at Village-Sarai Raja,Tehsil- Raniganj,District- Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh of Ashok Kumar Singh S/O Sardar Singh,76,Sarai Raja,Tehsil-Raniganj,District- Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh. Page 3 of 11 Pre- Feasibility Environment Clearance of Proposed Brick Earth Mining project for M/S Shiv Brick Field of Village-Sarai Raja,Tehsil-Raniganj,District- Pratapgarh, Report Uttar Pradesh. 2.2 Brief description of the nature of the project Brick kiln are seasonal unit are either in small sector or in cottage sector. Clay brick industry in India uses soil as raw material and slack (small size) coal as fuel. Estimate of total mineable reserve quantity comes to be 39251 m3 or 47100 tons up to permissible depth of 2 m. As per Brick Kiln capacity yearly production of bricks are 24.5 Lac bricks/ season for that the required volume of brick clay will be 7424 cum/Annum. 2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region The production of Brick Earth will benefit to the state in the form of royalty. Apart from this project operation will provide employment directly and indirectly to the people residing in vicinity, thus improving the Socio-economic status of the area. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap Bricks are produced in India in small or cottage scale brick kilns and Clamps, operates seasonally. The raw materials in the brick kilns include soil, coal, paddy husk, wood & locally available agro wastes to some extent. There are large variations in quality of soils available in different parts of the country and also in brick manufacturing process. Brick are good building material for construction activities but quality of brick differs place to place. There are large variations in quality of soil available in different part of the country and also brick manufacturing process. Brick kiln are seasonal unit are either in small sector or in cottage sector. Clay brick industry in India uses soil as raw material and slack (small size) coal as fuel. 2.5 Import vs. Indigenous: Import does not apply in the present case as Brick is indigenously available at number of mines under operation in Uttar Pradesh. 2.6 Export Possibility: Export possibility is neither plausible nor there is any such demand. 2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets Page 4 of 11 Pre- Feasibility Environment Clearance of Proposed Brick Earth Mining project for M/S Shiv Brick Field of Village-Sarai Raja,Tehsil-Raniganj,District- Pratapgarh, Report Uttar Pradesh. Due to the increased industrial and infrastructural growth of the rural and urban areas demand of Brick is very high. Construction companies and local vendors in the nearby town and cities are the potential market for the brick made up of brick clay. 2.8 Employment Generation About 25 local labors shall be engaged through project proponent for extraction of soil, molding and loading of brick and handling of mineral in mining area, besides, watch and ward and plantation activity with proper maintenance. 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of project including, interlinked and interdependent projects, if any This is a mining project for Brick Earth Excavation and the project shall not involve any interlinked and interdependent projects. 3.2 Location (map showing general location and project boundary and project site) with coordinates. Soil miming area is located at Village-Sarai Raja,Tehsil-Raniganj,District- Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh.which is connected to NH 231- 10.2 km(E)Nearest Railway Station is Vishwanathganj Railway Station: 2.7 Km (NE) from the Area and nearest Airport is Allahabad Airport :46 Km (SW).

Figure: - District Map 3.3 Details of alternate sites considered Besides this any other alternative other than Brick Earth mining like mining of rock in-situ quarry shall result in exorbitant cost, result in comparatively higher land degradation and cause more environmental impacts. 3.4 Size or magnitude of operation The proposed mine has lease agreement over an Area–2.262 Hectare. The project has been proposed for an annual production of 7424 cum soil by open cast manual mining from the Khasra/GataNos.-321,133k,233,Area-2.262 Hectare at Village-Sarai Raja,Tehsil- Raniganj,District- Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh. 3.5 Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart showing the project layout, component of project etc. should be given)a The proposed project is to mine Brick Clay from plot (s) under agreement sustainably and scientifically. Mining will be opencast and manual using hand tools only in the allotted plots keeping the nearby plot (s) unaffected. Following geo-scientific methods are proposed to carry out the activity. Mining will be confined to extraction of Brick Clay in its existing form from the Page 6 of 11 Pre- Feasibility Environment Clearance of Proposed Brick Earth Mining project for M/S Shiv Brick Field of Village-Sarai Raja,Tehsil-Raniganj,District- Pratapgarh, Report Uttar Pradesh.
