The operation will remain manual, using tools like shovel, spade, sieve etc.

2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region

The production of Brick Clay 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

Brick Clay has become a very important mineral for the manufacturing of Bricks which contributes to the expansion of infrastructure in the society. With the increase of urbanization the demand for Bricks is growing in infrastructure sector in our country. Individual and private companies are increasingly demanding Brick for construction purposes and this has immense pressure on brick clay resources. This increasing demand and extraction makes this an environmental issue.

2.5 Domestic/ Export Markets

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.

2.6 Employment Generation

The proposed project will generate direct /indirect employment to the people of all class of society. During the operational phase not more than 20 semi skilled and non skilled workers will be hired. The contractors will get the direct or indirect benefit from the project activity.

Bricks from Village - Bijay, REPORT P.O. - Narayanpur, P.S. - Saraikela, District - Saraikela-Kharsawan, Jharkhand. The operation involves the extraction of Brick Clay in its existing form. Raw bricks will be cast and transported to the kiln site by carts and tractor trolleys through village chak roads.

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

1. There will be very little requirement of water to carry out operations as it will be done manually. The water will be required either for drinking purposes or for casting of bricks. It is projected that not more than 20 laborers will be required for the proposed project. Drinking water requirement for 20 workers would be 0.60 KLD (@30 lpcd), which will be met by near by existing bore wells. Water required for plantation and sprinkling will be 1.72 KLD and will be supplied from water tankers. 2. The water required for the brick casting will be one liter per brick. 3. All the activities will be carried out manually. The operation will be done in day time, hence there is no power requirement for the project at site.

3.8 Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their management/ disposal.

The entire mineral extracted is saleable. The laborers from nearby villages will be hired to carry out work in day time only, hence there will be no or very less waste is expected to generated. No liquid effluents will be generated at site.
