The total lengh of this west following river from Its origin to its out fal into the sea is 724 km. for the first 282km the river flows in Madhya Pradesh, out of which 54 km from the common boundary with Maharashtra state. It flows for 282 km in Maharashtra before entering Gujarat. Traversing a length of 214 km in Gujarat, the tapi river joins Arabian sea in the gulf of cambay after flowing past the surat city. The river receives tidal receives tidal influence for a length of about 25 km upstream from the mouth. LOWER TAPI ZONE Brief description : lover tapi basin consists main tapi stream from ukai reservoir to its mouth in the guif of cambay. The lower tapi basin extends over an area of 2920sq.km. the length of the tapi river in lower tapi basin is 129km.there ara a series of rapids for a distance of about 32km. between kakrapar and aamalpur. Through the kakrapar rapids, the river falls by nearly 4.6 mtr.in the last reach, the river passes through the gujrat plains and after felt up to 25 km. from its mouth in the gulf of cambay ( after completion of a weir cum causeway at singanpur near surat city. SEDIMENT TRANSPORT CHARACTERISTICS A baseline study of the Tapi river was conducted to determine the basic physical and chemical characteristics of the sediment. Surat station was selected along the study area sediment characteristics revealed sandy to loamy (muddy) sand soils with ph of 7.01. Values of organic carbon 0.380%, electric conductivity 3.99 dsm-1 , available potassium estimated 367 kg/ha. The exchangeable ca and mg present in tapi river sediment collected from surat station is 15.00 & 20.11 me/100 mg respectively.( reference: study report V-N collage , shahada dist.

Air Quality management : There will be emission from combustion of fuels from the Transportation vehicles and material handling. Beside this, to control the emission further regular preventive maintenance of equipments will be carried out on contractual basis. It shall be ensured that all transportation vehicle should carry a valid PUC certificate. Plantation be carried out on approach road and nearby vicinity of River bank. Regular water sprinkling on road will be carried out to avoid dustiness due to vehicular transportation. Speed of the vehicle is maintained within the prescribed limits. Truck are not be over loaded and should be maintained to the body level. Condition of the all truck will be well maintained. Old age truck will not be utilized. 2.0 Noise Management : No other equipment expect the transportation vehicles and Excavator( as and when required) for loading will be allowed. Noise generated by theses equipments shall be intermittent and does not cause any impact. All vehicles which create high noise will be avoided. Plantation be carried out on approach road and nearby vicinity of River bank. Proper maintenance of vehicles would be ensured. Mining activity will be restricted to day time only. 3.0 Management for Lend use pattern including change of River Course The sediments will accumulate/ replenish every year during rainy season. The minerals will be collected in a uniform way so that the River flow/ course shall not get disturbed. Scrapping/ dredging of minerals shall be started from the centre towards the bank periphery in meter slice so that the river course does not get affected and barrier of at least 3 m will be left at both bank side for safety of banks. Unused material including minerals or spillage( if any) will not be stroked on the bank side as it will binder the flow of river in monsoon season. Suitable mitigation measure will be adopted to avoid water logging. 5 4.0 Water Quality management : No waste water will be generated from the mining activity of minerals as the project only involves scraping of sand from river. Mining will not intersect the Water Level. Mining will be done well above the riverbed water table therefore impact on water regime is not anticipated. 5.0 Soil Waste management: No Solid waste will be generated from the said mining operation.
