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 Chaudhary Brick Field from 224, Area- 3.705 Hectare (9.15 Acre) at Village – Parsohiya, Tappa- Dhebarua, Tehsil- Shohratgarh, District- Siddharth Nagar, Uttar Pradesh of Sri Izhar Ahmad S/o Sri Yaar Mohammad R/o Village – Teuwa Grant, Tehsil- Itwa, District- Siddharth Nagar, 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 44936 Cum up to permissible depth of 1.5 m. As per Brick Kiln capacity yearly production of bricks are 27.5 Lac bricks/ season for that the required volume of brick clay will be 8258 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.

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 20 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 – Parsohiya, Tappa- Dhebarua, Tehsil- Shohratgarh, District- Siddharth Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, which is connected to Itwa- Barhni Road at a distance of approx 2.0 km in the East direction.
