It originates from the Aravalli ranges near Ajmer and ends in the Marshy lands of Rann of Kutchh in Gujarat after travelling a distance of 530 km. It is first known as Sagarmati, then after passing Govindgarh, it meets its tributary Sarsuti, which originates from Pushkar Lake and from there on it is known as Luni which flows through western Rajasthan. It is a seasonal river and is also

comparatively shallow than other rivers of the state. The river water is fresh upto Balotara after which, it comes in contact with saline land and water becomes highly saline. Inspite of high salinity, it is a major river in the region and serves as a primary source of irrigation. Main drainage in the Tehsil is the Luni River extending in a total length of 43.2 km. Its entry point from the East side is Godon ka Bara and exit point in the West side is Lalana village. Sukri River is the main tributary of Luni River. It also flows from East to west side passing through villages Majal, Laliya and finally merging in Luni River before Samdari. In addition, there are 8 drainages scattered in the Tehsil near villages Meli, Muthli, Thapan, Mamaji ka Wala, Siner, Ramaniya and Telwara. These are the main potential areas for Bajri mining. Topography of the Tehsil is hilly in the central portion of the Tehsil with Reserve forest near Sela, Jinpur, Kundal, Piplun, Gungrot and Mawri. At places difference in elevation between ground level and peaks varies from 30 m to 600 m. Being hilly region, drainage follows dendritic pattern along the slopes. These have created large number of small drainages scattered all around. These will be left, to be exploited at a later stage but not during the plan period. Total rainfall in the district is around 281.8 mm only.

Working will be carried out in number of blocks. Each Block will have its outlet meeting the tar road and then finally to SH-66 from where the mineral is sent to various destinations. Similarly,

mineral will be transported on the other side of the river by hired trucks through approach roads and finally merging with SH 66 for final destination. River/ canal/ port None within the lease area.

3.1 No. of Existing Mining Pits, their dimesnsion and locations Mineral Bajri is the critical component in construction activities. Presently the mineral is permited to be removed by DMG department. Royalty and other dues are collected by Government authoritised agencies at various checkpoints called “Naka’s”. Activities are confined at various locations along the river course. Bajri from tehsil Siwana is transported from the road network on the both sides, ultimately to various destinations. Surface plan is enclosed as Plate – 04.

3.2 Physiography and Drainage Physiography: Rajasthan desert is predominantly characterised by three land forms: 1) Sandy stretch of Thar with sand dunes 2) Plains 3) Hills Hillock, salty marsh land, gravel shifting sand dunes, fragments of rock, scrub vegetation and rare oasis are scattered over the vast sandy expanse of the Thar Desert. Interestingly, according to paleontologists, the present day scrub land of Rajasthan was said to hve lush vegetation in the distant past. They discovered that Rajasthan was the stamping ground of Dinosaurs and their ascendents some 300 million years ago. The district experiences arid type of climate. Mean annual rainfall (1971-2005) of the district is 281.8 mm. Almost 90% of the total annual rainfall is received during the southwest monsoon, which enters the district in the first week of July and withdraws in the mid of September. As the district lies in the desert area, extreme of heat in summer and cold in winter is the characteristic of the desert. Both day and night temperature increases gradually and reaches their maximum values in May and June. The temperature varies from 48 degree in summer to 2 degree in winter. Atmosphere is generally dry except during the monsoon period. The humidity is highest in August with mean daily relative humidity is 43%. The annual maximum potential evapotranspiration in the district is 1850 mm and it is highest (260 mm) in the month of May and lowest (77 mm) in the month of December. 20

Geographically, the area as a whole forms a part of the Great Indian Desert. A part from a small off shoot of the Aravalli hills in the east, the area is a vast sandy tract. The country west of Luni River represents sandy plain dotted with bold hills. A well defined valley is one of which is observed along Barmer-Gadra road to the east of Kharin. Pachpadra, Sanwarla and Thob are the major salt lakes in the district. A salt lake locally called Rann is located east of Redana village. The surface elevation of the district varies from 70m MSL at Sindhari to 457 m above mean sea level at Ghonia village. The only major drainage course in the area is Luni River, which flows from Samdari, passing through Balotra. The river is ephemeral, flowing only in response to heavy precipitation. In the year of drought there is no run off. (District Groundwater Brochure) Toposheet is enclosed as Plate – 02.

3.2 Geology of the Area 3.2.1 Regional Geology The Geology of the district is obscured by extensive desert sand & sand of dunes. The rock formations are mostly exposed in patches. The general statigraphic succession worked out by Geological Survey of India is as under:

Table 4: Geological Succession FORMATION AGE LITHOLOGY Recent to sub recent Sand, sandy soil, kankar, vast gypsum & selenite deposit Kapurdi formation Lower to middle Fuller's earth Eocene Mandhi formation & Lower Eocene to upper Clays & ferruginous sandstone grey & Akli formation Paleocene black shales with or without lignite inter calations, bentonite, siliceous earth Fatehgarh formation Middle Paleocene to Sandstone. upper cretaceous. Lathi formation Triassic – Jurassic Sandstone Malani igneous rock Late Precambrian Rhyolite granites & associated intrusives Source: Geological Survey of India

The malani igneous suits of rocks are most extensive & are oldest in the area. They consist of volcanic rocks, rhyolites granites & associated intrusives like basic dykes aplites & quartz veins. Beside these volcanics, other rocks exposed in the area are sandstone belonging to Lathi, Fatehgarh & Mandhi formations, Akli & Kapurdi formations constituted by bentonite & Fuller's earth. They are soft, in the plains & mostly coved under blown sand.

3.2.2 Local Geology Soil/ alluvium varying in thickness from 10 to 15 m constitute the top horizons in the area suitable for agriculture. Luni, Sukri, Ver, Luni Wala and Mamaji ka Wala Rivers meander through the area exposing the alluvium and soil at the banks. Hard rock is exposed at places along the banks in the lease area. Bajri is found in the river bed. This bed is presently dry and water flows only during the rainy season. Geological map and section are enclosed as Plate – 05 (A) & (B). In Siwana Tehsil, Bajri will be obtained from river bed of Luni, Sukri, Ver, Luni Wala and Mamaji ka Wala.

6.0 Details of Mining Machinery Deployed or to be Deployed and the detail specifications This is a new mining lease. Following equipments are proposed to be deployed for the desired production. Table 9: List of Machinery

S. No. Name of machinery Capacity Nos. 1 Excavators 0.9 to 1.2 m 3 20 2 Tippers/ Trucks 20 tons -- 3 Water Tanker 4000 liters 2 4 Payloader JCB -- 2 5 Light vehicles -- 6

7.0 Method of Mining The proposed project of river bed mining is for extracting Bajri from Luni, Sukri, Ver, Luni Wala and Mamaji ka Wala river bed. As per RMMC Rules, 1986 extraction is limited to 3.0 m depth only from the surface area. Entire stretch of the lease area around 147.4 km long will be divided in to seven blocks for ease of operation, supervision, management and safety. Activities will be carried out as per the production schedule given earlier. Light weight excavators will be deployed for extraction. Mineral will be removed in 3.0 m layer only forming one bench. Mineral will be loaded in trucks of 20 tons capacity. There will be no OB or waste generation as the Bajri is exposed in the river bed. Bench will advance parallel to the banks of the river. Height of bench will be 3.0 m. Width of the bench will be around 20 m, more than the height of the bench. Workings will be restricted within the lease area/ khasra as per the description report. Mining activities will be carried out in a manner so that there is no obstruction to the movement of water flow, if any, during rainy season. The bench will be in the form of slices/ strips parallel to the banks of the river. Roads in the lease area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes more than 1 in 20. However, movement of trucks after mineral loading will be towards both sides through approach roads connecting to tar roads.

7.1 Proposed year wise development for five years Bajri lease is proposed to be granted for a period of five years only. Calendar plan has already been made and details have been given. Sequence of operation has been depicted in Working Plan, Plate No – 06 (A) & 06 (B). Ultimate limit will be 3.0 m below existing bed level as indicated in the working section.

7.2 Proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed Work will be carried out for 280 days in year. However, working days may be increased depending upon the situation prevailing at the time of execution. Year wise production during the plan period will be as follows:

Table 10: Proposed Production S. Targeted Production (in Targeted Production (in OB/ Waste No. MMTA) MCM) (M 3) 1 5.6 4.0 - 2 5.6 4.0 - 3 5.6 4.0 - 4 5.6 4.0 - 5 5.6 4.0 - Total 28 20 - Conversion factor is 1.4 ton/ m 3

7.3 Mineable reserves and anticipated life of the mine LOI has been issued for a period of 5 years only as per RMMCR (Amendment) 1986 after extraction of targeted production, some quantity of mineral will be available for future. During rainy season there is some replenishment of the mineral, which helps in sustaining the production. Estimated Minable reserves up to 3.0 m available are = 89.14 MCM Anticipated production is = 20 MCM

7.4 Proposed method of mining Mining activity will be carried out by open cast semi-mechanized method. Only dry bed mining will be carried out. No in-stream mining will be practiced Light weight excavators will be used for loading of mineral in tippers. No OB/ waste material will be produced. No drilling/ blasting is required as the material is loose in nature.

Proper benching of 3.0 m height will be maintained. Roads will be properly made and sprayed by water for suppression of dust. Roads in the lease area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes more than 1 in 20. Total extent of lease is 147.4 km. Extraction activities will start in the blocks from the upstream side to downstream side. This will not obstruct the movement of water, if any, during monsoon period in the river course. Approach roads from the various blocks as already described earlier will be merging with permanent tar roads on both sides of the river for transportation of the mineral to final destinations.

7.5 Conceptual Mining Plan Proposed mine lease area will be worked in blocks for ease of operation. However, as the digging depth will be restricted to 3.0 m only, material will still be available below. This will be further replenished during rainy season. Blocks will be worked systematically as the width is limited while length is much more. Sequence of working has been shown on Plate no – 06 (B) of Composite plan. As the lease period is only 5 years, some of the area will be left un-worked at the end of lease period.

(i) Final Slope Angle To Be Adopted Thickness of the bench will be limited to 3.0 m only and width will be around 20.0 m. River bank sides will be protected by 7.5 m offset. Bank side natural slope will not be disturbed. However, the height of the bank with respect to river bed is varying from 2.0 to 5.0 m only. This will prevent collapse of bank and erosion.

(ii) Ultimate Capacity Of Dumps There will be no OB removal and waste generation during the plan period. No dumping area is needed. No outside material will be filled up in the extracted zone.

a) Landuse Pattern of Mining Lease Area at Various Stages Land use pattern will be as follows:

There is no flow of water in the river bed in post monsoon period. Area is having 281.8 mm rainfall in a year. During rainy season, catchment water flows in the river. During dry period the Bajri is excavated which gets replenished to some extent during this period. There will be no intersection of water table as working will be carried out upto 3.0 m

depth only from surface of river bed while the water level is more than 20 m below the surface of river bed. Total 10 wells are located in the river bed feeding water to nearby villages. These wells will be protected. No excavation will be extended within 45.0 m radius of these wells.

8.0 Year wise annual programme of mining for next 5 years Bajri mineral is targeted for 20,000 tons (1000 trips) per day i.e. 5.6 MMT per annum (maximum). As the lease period is only 5 years, extraction is planned for 5 years duration only. Production programme is given below:

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN 10.0 Measures taken and to be taken for Land Restoration, Reclamation and Plantation in/ or nearby Lease Area Envisaged mining operation will be carried out in the Luni, Sukri, Ver, Luni Wala, Mamaji ka Wala river bed spreading in 19011.89 ha. This will be dry bed mining. Besides resource extraction, following activities will be kept in view: a) Protection and restoration of ecological system b) Prevent damages to the river regime c) Protect riverine configuration such as bank erosion, change of water course gradient, flow regime etc. d) Prevent contamination of ground water

Safeguard Measures While carrying out mining activity following measures will be taken: Mining activities will be carried out only in dry bed. No in-stream mining will be practiced. An offset of 7.5 m from each bank will be kept. This is to protect the bank erosion and river migration. Mineral Bajri from river will be restricted to a maximum depth of 3.0 m from the existing bed level. This is for safety and sustainability. Systematic extraction will be carried out to prevent scouring and enhancement of erosion. Extraction will be carried out in a manner that there is no obstruction to flow of water, if any, during rainy season. Ten wells exist in this proposed lease area. Safety zone of 45 m radius around the well located in the river bed will not have any mining activity. Mining on the concave side of the river channel should be avoided to prevent bank erosion. Similarly meandering segment of river will be selected to prevent natural eroding banks and to promote mining on natural building (aggrading) meanders component. Reclamation of Mined Out Area There is no generation of OB/ waste material. No backfilling has been proposed in the

excavated zone. River to some extent will be replenished by sediments during rainy season. Greenbelt Barmer region has Aeolian sand which varies from sandy to sandy loam. Due to lack of water availability, the vegetation comprises of only thorny bushes and cactus. There is only seasonal vegetation such as a few grass species, shrubs and dwarf trees. In these arid regions, land is dry but not infertile. Hence, in irrigated areas Rabi crops such as wheat and mustard are grown during the monsoon. Kharif crops such as pulses and bajra are also grown. The proposed lease area is in the river bed and devoid of any vegetation. Mining activities will not cause any harm to the banks and riparian vegetation cover as the working will not extend beyond the 7.5 m offset left against the banks on each side of the river. Land on both sides is private agriculture land. Link road from the active zone pass through the areas. It is proposed to have plantation on both sides of the roads as greenbelt to provide cover against dust dissemination. Plantation will also be carried out as social forestry programme in villages, school and the areas allocated by the Panchayat/ State authorities. Native plants like Neem, Babool Shisham, Khejri, Roheda and other local species will be planted. Drought and heat tolerant species will be planted at the site. About 2000 trees native species will be planted during the plan period.

11.0 Measures taken and to be taken for Protection of Environment in and around Mining Lease Area

Dry bed mining will only be carried out. Mining activities will be confined to 3.0 m depth from surface level of river bed. All link roads from the mining area to the tar road will be properly sprayed with water for dust suppression. Greenbelt and plantation on road side will help in dust suppression and will also reduce noise level. Plantation will improve ecology and aesthetic beauty of the area Measures will be taken to prevent the workings from extending in safety zones, cutting the banks and exceeding 3.0 m depth limit from the river bed surface.

12.0 Measures taken and to be taken for dumping overburden, stacking of top soil and utilization of top soil There is no topsoil in the proposed lease area. No overburden and waste is likely to be generated during lease period. There will be neither any stacking of soil nor creation of OB dumps.

13.0 Measures taken and to be taken for the control of water, noise and air pollution Air Pollution: Emission of gases and dust takes place due to movement of vehicles. Spraying of water and plantation along the road side prevents the spread of dust. Plantation also acts as barrier for restricting pollution. Impact on air environment has been assessed taking in to consideration the proposed production and increase emissions. The sources of air pollution are given below: Operation of machinery Transportation of mineral Wind erosion from barren area and river bed Air pollutants released during production can be checked by: Dust suppression system/ water spraying would be adopted at mine working and loading points Excavation operations to be suspended during very strong wind conditions Afforestation will be carried out for control of dust Plantation along approach road will help in dust suppression Persons to be provided with dust mask and other personal protective equipments, particularly during summer months and dust storm periods.

Transportation Regular water spraying on haulage roads during mineral transportation by water sprinklers, Avoid over loading of tippers & consequent spillage on the roads, Mineral carrying trucks will be effectively covered by tarpaulin to avoid escape of fines to atmosphere, Air quality shall be regularly monitored both in the core zone and the buffer zone. Controlling of NOx level The source of NOx is due to vehicular emission. This can be controlled by proper maintenance and servicing of vehicles. Only P.U.C. certificated vehicles will be permitted Noise Pollution There is no drilling and blasting for mineral extraction. Noise pollution due to transportation will not cause any problem to the inhabitants of this area because there is no human settlement in close proximity to the link roads in proposed lease area. Effective steps will be taken to keep the noise level well below the DGMS prescribed limit of 85 dBA.

Noise control is achieved by the following: • Proper care and maintenance of the equipments will be carried out. • Personal protective equipments will be provided to the workers.

Care and upkeep of plantation shall be carried out on regular basis. Status of the working and status monitoring for re-opening of the mines shall be discussed daily. In case of discontinuance due to any natural calamities/abnormal conditions, mining operation will be restarted as early as possible after completing rescue work, restoring safety and security, repairs of roads etc.

5.0 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSION OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND MANPOWER RETRENCHMENTS Lease area is proposed for a period of five years only. As per the production programme envisaged, at the end of lease period, still sufficient un-worked area would be left available for continuing production activities further. Hence, no closure is planned. There will be no effect on the man power as the persons belong to nearby villages and will

have an option either to be available for employment for the next contract/ lease or do the agriculture in their fields.

6.0 TIME SCHEDULING FOR ABANDONMENT The lease area has enormous potential for continuance of operations even after the expiry of the awarded period. The details of time schedule of all abandonment will be given at the time of final closer plan. Mining activities are confined to river bed, up to 3.0 m. depth, relatively shallow depth of workings. Replenishment of the bajri to some extent, being removed from the river bed is a natural process particularly during monsoon periods.

7.0 ABANDONMENT COST As at present mining is not going to be closed so abandonment cost could not be assessed. However based on the progressive mine closure activities during the plan period, cost is assessed as given below:
