1.4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Minerals are classified into two groups as Major minerals and Minor minerals. Minor mineral have been defined under section 3 (e) of Mines and Minerals (Regulation and development) Act, 1957. They include building stones, gravel, ordinary sand, limestone lime burning, boulders, kankar, murum, brick earth ordinary clay used for, bentonite, road metal, slate, marble, stones used for making household utensils etc. Therefore, all other minerals not defined as minor minerals in the said Act are treated as major minerals. They include coal, manganese ore, iron ore, bauxite, limestone, kyanite, sillimanite, barites, chromite, silica sand, fluorite, quartz, sand used for stowing purposes in coal mines and many other minerals used for industrial purposes.

1.5 GUIDELINES FOR MINING OF MINOR MINERALS The mining operations for minor minerals were carried out in unscientific manner in Maharashtra since there were no guidelines for extraction of minor mineral.

Identifying this fact In exercise of powers conferred by Section 15 of Mines & Minerals (Development & Regulation) Act, 1957 (67 of 1957) and of all other powers enabling it in that behalf, the Revenue & Forest Department, Government of Maharashtra framed the Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction (Development and Regulation) Rules, 2013.

Since Prior Environmental Clearance has now become mandatory for mining of minor minerals irrespective of the area of mining lease after the matter of Deepak Kumar etc. Vs. State of Haryana and Others as per Hon‟ble Supreme Court dated the 27th February, 2012 in I.A. No.12-13 of 2011 in Special Leave Petition (C) No.19628-19629 of 2009, Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF & CC) had issued Office Memorandum No. L- llOll/47/2011-IA.II (M) dated 18th May 2012; henceforth as per this O.M. all mining projects of minor minerals would require prior environmental clearance irrespective of the lease area.

Mining projects with Lease area less than 5 ha are categorized as category 'B2' and projects with lease area 5 Ha and above and less than 50 ha are categorized as category 'B' whereas projects with lease area of 50 ha and above are categorized as category 'A'.

Policy on Environmental Clearance for mining leases in cluster for minor minerals in the matter of sand mining was directed by the Hon‟ble National Green Tribunal (NGT); vide its order dated the 13th January, 2015 also S.O.3977(E) notification dated 14th Aug 2018 by Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.

The Central Government had constituted the District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (D.E.I.A.A.), for grant of Environmental Clearance for Category ‟B2‟ Projects for mining of minor minerals, for all the districts in the country as per the latest amendment S.O. 141 (E) & S.O.190(E) dated 15th January 2016 & 20th January 2016 in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) and in pursuance of the notification of the Government of India in the erstwhile Ministry of Environment and Forest number S.O. 1533 (E), dated the 14th September.

Direction for preparation of District Survey Report for Sand Mining or River Bed Mining of other Minor Minerals was made in the Notification dated 15th January 2016 and its amendments dated 25th July 2018 by MoEF & CC along with detailed procedure & format for preparation of District Survey Report. 4

To make certain identification of areas of aggradations or depositions where mining can be allowed and identifying areas of erosion rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area is the foremost objective of the preparation of District Survey Report.

2. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY In Solapur district minerals of economic importance are not found till date. Basaltic rock is used economically for construction purpose. Mud used for making bricks, sand and metal stone used for construction purpose are the only important minerals found in Solapur district.

3. DETAILS OF ROYALTY OR REVENUE RECEIVED IN LAST THREE YEARS

4. PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS OF THE DISTRICT

Sediment is naturally occurring material that is broken down by process of weathering & erosion, and is consequently transported by the action of wind, water, tides& force of gravity acting on the particles. The strongest agent for transportation of the sediments is water and degree of sediment transported is depending on strength and velocity of flow. There is a range of different particle size in flow; material of different sizes moves through all areas of the flow for given stream conditions. Sand is an essential minor mineral used extensively across the country as a useful construction constituent. The rivers are the most important source for sand. It acts as source of transportation and deposition of sand and Bajri etc. The various aspects leading to the formation and deposition of sand are geological activity,climate, rainfall, and water velocity acting on country rock. The drainage system of the major rivers in the district is mostly of dendritic type.The river systems are young with a small drainage area and westerly seasonal regime. Major rivers forms part of the westerly flowing river system originating from Bhimashankar in Nashik District.

However, agriculture productivity and development differ very much from region to region, which needs a detail investigation. The temperature and pedagogical conditions are favorable for growing valuable crops like jawar, sugarcane, oil seeds, bajara, wheat, etc. By contrast, very low level of agriculture productivity is confined to the tahsils belonging to drought prone areas having irregular rainfall, rugged topography and poor irrigation facilities. Inadequacy of water is main hurdle in agriculture productivity. Hence, in present report an attempt has been made to assess the regional disparities in levels of agriculture productivity in Solapur District of Maharashtra.

 Getting less than 5 cm of rains from February to May, mostly in May, while remaining three months are almost dry.

 During July receives 10-20 cm of rains.

 In post mansoon season i.e. October to January, only one month i.e. October receives 5-10 cm of rains, whereas remaining three months get less than 5 cm of rainfall.

 The amount and the extent of distribution of rains in Zone-I is adequate, erratic and irregular.

 Soils under this zone is shallow, black with low rainfall & medium elevation, Bajra is mainly grown in kharif and Jawar is grown in Rabi season, other crops like Groundnut, Safflower, Wheat are also grown.

2 Rainfall Zone-IV  This zone include Akkalkot, North & South Solapur, Mohol and Barshi tahsil’s.

 In this zone getting rains of 5 cm in pre-mansoon season mostly in May, where as remaining months are dry.

 In rainy season only 10-20 cm of rains occurs in June to September, 19

while past rainy season only 5 cm of rains obtain mostly in October and remaining three months are observed to be dry.

 Soils are shallow black soils did not differ significantly in properties as that of shallow soils in scarcity area.

 Besides, Cereals, Pulses are equally grown over large area either as sole or intercropping.

 Amongst the pulses, Tur, Mung and Udid are cultivated over large area, oilseeds also form an important component of cropping system.

5.2 Soil types of District

The geographical foundation of soils prevailing in Solapur district is mainly from Deccan trap of volcanic origin viz. “Basalt”. The soil is underlain by partially decomposed basaltic rock locally known as “Murum” which overlies parent material. On account of more or less complete absence of leaching the soil are base saturated the exchangeable calcium being the predominant cation. The free lime content is fairly high (5 to 10 per cent). The soils exhibit varying degree of erosion and truncated profile. Generally soils are clay in texture with predominant montmorillenite clay mineral. Because of the clay minerals, the soils exhibit swelling and shrinkage property on wetting and drying develop cracks after rainy season. The soils are generally low in total nitrogen, low to medium in available phosphorous and high in available potash. The soils in the district can be classified maily on the basis of depth i.e medium deep soils (22.5 to 90 cm) dominate the soil profile with 45 percent of area followed with 25 percent of deep soils of more than 90 cms of depth. About 30 percent of the area is under shallow soils.

6. LAND UTILIZATION PATTERN IN THE DISTRICT The study of the contour and morphology suggest that maximum area under water body is resulted to Karmala, Pandharpur, Sangola, Barshi and Akkalkot Talukas because of river and lake availability, whereas Karmala, Madha, Mohol, and Malshiras are beneficiary Talukas of Ujjani dam. Maximum settlements are found in North Solapur, South Solapur & Pandharpur Talukas which can be attributed to industrial and educational development. There is shrub land and fallow land noteworthy in whole Solapur district which may be due to the lack of water availability and lack of adaption of advance techniques in agriculture. Shrub land covered maximum area lies in Sangola and Malshiras Talukas due to the hilly region exibited by contour diferences and slope along which shallow soil cover is found. Maximum area occupied by agriculture in Pandharpur and Mangalwedha may be because of soil suitability as well as water availability in these Talukas. Madha, Karmala and Mohol are most beneficiaries of Ujjani dam due to rejuanation of Sina River by canal which pramoted maximum area under agriculture. Major noteworthy changes between study periods are exhibited by agriculture and shrub land because the shrub land is converted into agriculture day by day due to the addaption of advance technique in agriculture. The area under settlement is increased due to population growth influenced by workers in agricultureal and allied industry. Solapur is a drought prone area so there is no major change in water body in study period of twenty year.

7. PHYSIOGRAPHY OF THE REGION

On the basis of relief and structure, the physiographic divisions of the region are formed. The relief and structure influence the climate, soil types, vegetation pattern and economy of the study region. It is, therefore, necessary to demarcate, the district of Solapur into its physiographic regions, in order to have a precise geographical understanding. Most of the area of the district belongs to the Deccan plateau region. On the basis of physical setup, the region is divided into three major physiographic divisions:

7.1 The Hilly Region:

The hilly region, in the western and south western region occupies its sizable area by having average height more than 600 meters. At the same time, the region also includes the plateau in the Malsiras, Sangola, Pandharpur and Mangalweda tahsils of the district. In the north eastern part of the Solapur district along the border of Osmanabad district, there is an important Balaghat range particularly in the Barshi tahsil. The small range of Balaghat range namely Ramling hill lies from North West to south east of Barshi Tahsil which form the border line between Solapur and Osmanabad districts, which have an altitude between 600 meter to 750 meter Most of the small rivers and streams like river Man, Korda, Warai, Bhogawati, Nagzeri and Sina, are originate from the Balaghat and Mahadeo ranges. Some isolated ranges are also found in the various tahsil notably in the central part of Karmala and Madha tahsils locally, these are known as Waghoba and Bodaki respectively. These hilly regions as expected are very poor agriculturally and hence, human settlements are very few and far. These ranges occupy about 10 percent geographical area of the Solapur district.

7.2 The Plateau Region:

The contour line of 550 meter above mean sea level is parting the south central and south eastern part. This infact, demarcates the district into plateau and plain region of Bhima basin. Almost 70 percent of total geographical area of the district is occupied by the plateau region. The average height of the plateau region is in between 450 meter to 600 meter, this region also includes some individual separate hills in different parts of the plateau.This comprises the areas of the Karmala, Madha, Barshi and Akkalkot in the left hand of the river Bhīma and parts of Malshiras, Pandharpur, Sangola and Mangalweda tahsils are in right hand of river Bhima. Most of the plateau region in the Solapur district is drained by the river Bhima and its tributaries. Therefore, the soils of plateau region are suitable and fertile for the production of various kinds of crops.

7.3 The Plain (lowland) Region:

The plain region in the district of Solapur is occupied by Bhīma River and its tributaries. The central part of the district lies in the plain region. The plain region naturally is found along both sides of the river Bhima and its tributaries such as river Sina and river Man. The soil of the plain region is most fertile due to the deposition of eroded material transported by the river Bhima and its tributaries. The Solapur city, the Head quarters of district is located at the border of plateau and plain region. The plain area in the district covers about 20 percent of the geographical area of the district. Surprisingly, there are few hills and uplands isolated found in the plain region, which have the height of more than 550 meters, above mean sea level. On an average, the plain region has an altitude which is ranging between 200 to 450 meters.

7.4 Drainage Pattern:

The river Bhīma originates from the Bhima shankar plateau of Ambegaon tahsil in Pune district. After leaving the Solapur district, it enter into Karnataka state and meets with the Krishna river. The right bank tributaries of Bhīma are Nira and Man, while left bank tributary is the Sina. Besides, a good number of lesser streams in the Solapur district which form the tributaries of the Bhīma and Sina are the local feeders. The Bhīma and the Sina flow, roughly south easterly direction, while the Nira east and the Man north east direction. Most of these rivers are non perennial in nature and flow only during the rainy season. In order to understand, their detail characteristics, it is most appropriate to discuss them one by one in to consideration.

A. The River Bhima

The river Bhīma drains in the central part of the district, comprises the greater part of Karmala, Madha, Malshiras, Pandharpur, Mangalweda, Mohol and south Solapur tahsils. The river Bhīma is one of the main feeders of river Krishna. The river Bhīma rises from the Bhimashankar plateau in Pune district and runs south east direction and enters into Solapur district near Jinti village of Karmala tahsil and flows through the district of Pune, Ahamadnagar and Solapur in Maharashtra and Bijapur district in Karnataka and it falls into Krishna River about 25 kilomiter North of Raichur in Karnataka State. The Bhīma has an overall length of 289 kilometer within the limit of the district of Solapur. The 110 kilometer length of the river Bhima, acts as winding since the river separate Karmala on the left from Indapur in Pune district on the right. For about 10 kilometer, it separates Madha on the left and Malshiras on the right. Further, for about 34 kilometer it separates Pandharpur in the left and Malshiras on the right. Again for about 65 kilometer, it passes through the central part of the Pandharpur tahsil. The Mohol tahsil in the left for about 20 kilometer, it has separated Mangalweda tahsil on the right they it turns towards south for about 10 kilometer forming the boundary between south Solapur tahsil on the left and Mangalweda tahsil on the right. After this, the river Bhīma acts as a boundary between Maharashtra and Karnataka states, for about seventy kilometer, the south Solapur and Akkalkot tahsil on the left hand of the region under study and the districts of Bijapur and Gulburga on the right hand. One more point worth mentioning is that, the river Bhīma is making a shape of crescent near Pandharpur. Due to such appearance of the river near Pandharpur locally, it is called as a Chandrabhaga, which is regarded as a holiest place in Maharashtra.

B. The River Nira

The river Nira rises in the Bhor tahsil of the Pune district. The river Nira is the chief right bank feeder of the Bhīma River. It runs to south east and east, along the borders of Pune, Satara and Solapur districts before joining the main flow of Bhīma River, out of its total length of about 180 kilometer, only 48 kilometer lies on the borders of the Pune and the Solapur district. The banks of the river Nira are steep and rocky.

C. The River Man

The river Man rises in the Phaltan ranges which are the parts of Mahadeo ranges in Satara district. It flows, in the west side of Dahiwadi. It is a right bank feeder of river Bhīma and run through eastern parts of Satara district and turns towards Sangola, Pandharpur and Mangalweda tahsil. It forms entire boundary between Pandharpur and Mangalweda tahsil. The 27 total lengths of river Man is about 160 kilometer, out of which 80 kilometer, lies within the limits of Solapur district. The Belvan the Khurd, the Sanganga and the Vankadi are the main feeder streams of the river Man within the district of Solapur, which are seasonal in its nature.

D.The River Sina

The river Sina rises twenty two kilometer west of Torana in Ahamadnagar district of Maharashtra state and enters the Solapur district near Alijapur village of the Karmala tahsil. It is largest left bank feeder of the river Bhima. It runs south-east through Ahamadnagar and Solapur district and meets with the river Bhīma near Kudal about 25 kilometers south of Solapur city. It has a total length of 180 kilometer within the district of Solapur. The river Sina receives, river Bhogawati on its half bank near Mohol about a distance of 7 kilometer. The channel of river Sina is about 100 to 200 meters; broad in Solapur district and it has very steep banks throughout its flow in the Solapur district.

E. The River Bhogavati

It is the fifth important river of Solapur district. It rises in the south facing scarps of Balaghat in the North east part of Barshi tahsil. It flows initially to south west direction for a distance of about 65 kilometer in the Barshi and Madha tahsils of Solapur district. The Bhogawati joins Sina about seven kilometers north of Mohol tahsil. It is the largest tributary of river Sina. The major sources of streams of the Bhogawati are Bodaki, Nagzari and Sira which also rise in Balaghat hill and run to south west direction.

F. The River Bori

The river Bori rises on the south facing scarp land of Osmanabad plateau near Tuljapur. It is a small left bank feeder of river Bhīma. It flows to southwards direction in the eastern parts of Akkalkot tahsil. Its tributary is river Harni, which flows about 50 kilometers through the Akkalkot tahsil in Solapur district.

7.5 Natural Vegetation:

The natural vegetation is commonly used to describe the natural plant's growth as distinct from the cultivated plants growth. The natural vegetation is consisting three fold divisions of study the forest, grassland and desert. In the region under study, the forest cover is very poor. The forest of Solapur district occupies 357.9 square kilometer area in which 345 square kilometer forest area and 12.9 square kilometer is unclassified forest. In other words, 157 square

28 kilometer is area under revenue department; 188 square kilometer is under of forest department and 12.9 square kilometer unclassified reserved and unclaimed forests. Surprisingly, these scattered poor forests constitute only 2.14 percent of the total area of the district. In the past, the forests were comparatively dense of predominant of scrubs forest on the hill and with growth of Babul and Neem, lower down in the plains, however, at present most of these forests have disappeared. What remains today, are poor stunted and malformed trees of scrubs in scattered patches. Before the independence of our country, the forest areas were under the administration of forest division in Solapur district. But due to the growing pressure of population, some forest lands were converted in to agricultural land and some were denuded of vegetation and soil. At present, forests are mainly observed in patches in Malshiras, Sangola and Barshi tahsils on hill slopes and low lying areas. Most of the forest product of the district is consumed by the local people. In fact, the forest produce falls short of the total demand and the requirements have to be imported from other places of Maharashtra and India. The important collections of forest produce in the district are Barshi and Solapur. Despite, other tahsil Head Quarters such as Pandharpur, Mangalwedha, Sangola and Akkalkot are important centre's for the collection of forest products.

7.5. Climate

Broadly, the climate of the Solapur district is monsoonal in nature. The year can be divided in to four seasons:

1) The cold weather season : (December to February ) 2) The hot weather season : ( March to May) 3) The southwest Monsoon season : ( June to August) 4) The post Monsoon season : (September to November)

In order to understand, the chief characteristics of climatic conditions, it is necessary to discuss in detail each season of the Solapur district.

8. GEOLOGY

The region under study is relatively a small area; hence, the prominent features associated with the geology are not expected. The region is remarkably free from structural complexity. There are no evidences of any structural disturbances like folding and faulting. The basaltic lava flow traps, which are covered by thin mental of soil almost everywhere in the district.These lava flows, on account of differential weathering give rise to undulating relief. There are no prominent mountains and hill ranges in the district, hence, the region is characterized by typical Deccan trap topography. The fine materials constitute the high country side while, weathered vesicular and geologic basalts generally constitute the river valleys in the region. The traps in the district most probably represent the middle trap in three fold classifications, the lower trap and the upper trap being the other two classes. The geological sequence in the district of Solapur is divided into two main categories:

1. Recent alluvium and soil causing horizons of calcareous pebble (KANKAR) gravels, pebbles and silt lime materials; are of the recent origin.

2. Volcanic flows are resulting in fissure eruptions of lava. These lava flows belong to Deccan trap are in fact, of volcanic episode of the cretaceous Eocene period.

3. The geological survey carried out in the past clearly reveals that the fragments of basalt do not show any sign of volcanic activity in historical past. However, there are structural variations within the same flow both laterally and vertically.

8.1 Geological Structures:- In massive unit of Deccan Trap Basalt, ground water occurs in soil cum weathered jointed cracked and other weaker zones. The upper portion of the massive traps show persistent spheroidal weathering and exfoliation which helps in retaining more ground water in these rocks in comparison to compact massive unit. The storage of ground water in compact massive unit totally depends upon the presence of joints and their nature, distribution and interconnection. The average depth range of dug wells is 12.00 m to 15.00 m and that of bore wells is 50.00 to 60.00 m in hard rock areas, whereas the yields range from 0.60 to 3.10 lps. 8.2 Economic Minerals:- In Solapur district minerals of economic importance are not found. Basaltic rock is used economically for construction purpose. Mud used for making bricks, sand and metal stone used for construction purpose are the only important minerals found in Solapur district. 9. GROUNDWATER INFORMATION OF SOLAPUR DISTRICT.

Solapur district is one of the four districts that form the region of Western Maharashtra. It is the fourth largest district in Maharashtra in terms of land area and seventh largest in terms of population. It is an important junction on the Central railway line. Solapur is a city with an array of small and medium scale industries. The district is well known for its textile industries and Solapur chadars and towels are famous around the globe. The district has the largest industry in Maharashtra for Beedi production. Solapur is also known for its oilseed-market. Solapur is situated on Deccan plateau. It has an average elevation of 458 metres. The district is spread over an area of around 14,895 square kilometers. It is located on the south east edge of the state and lies entirely in the Bhima and Seena basins. The entire district is drained by the Bhima River. Revenue Sub-divisions are Solapur, Madha (Kurduwadi), Pandharpur. The district is divided into 11 talukas viz Akkalkot, Barshi, Karmala, Madha, Malshiras, Mangalwedhe, Mohol, Pandharpur, 32

Solapur North and Solapu South. A location map taluka boundaries, taluka head quarters, ground water monitoring stations and physical features is shown in fig 2.

Figure 2: Administrative Divisions Table No. 16 . A location map taluka boundaries, taluka head quarters, ground water monitoring stations and physical features

9.1 Ground Water Scenario

9.1.1 Hydrogeology

The entire Solapur district is occupied by lava flows of the Deccan Basalt formation, which constitute the main rock formation of the district. The important water bearing formations of the district are discussed below.

9.1.2 Deccan Trap Basalt

Ground water in Deccan Traps mostly occurs in the weathered and fractured parts down to 10-15m depth. At places potential zones are encountered at deeper levels in the form of fractures and inter-flow zones which are generally confined down to 60-80m in the district. The weathered portions of both vesicular and massive units have better porosity and permeability.

Intensity of weathering is less in hilly region of the district while it is higher in plain area. The yield of dug wells tapping phreatic aquifer ranges between 18 to 152cum/day, which have 5-12m depth range. The bore wells are generally drilled down to 40 to 60m tapping weathered and fracture/vesicular zones, these wells have a discharge of 2 to 4lps. It is noticed and reported that the yields of the wells drastically get reduced in summer months beginning form March up June end.

9.1.3 Alluvium

Ground water in this formation occurs under water table condition in the district as it is very shallow in depth and spreads over a very limited area. It is observed that the saturated thickness of alluvial material comprises of silt, clay, sand and gravel. The detrital material consisting of sand and gravel occurring as lenses in the alluvial piles sometimes form good aquifer but on other hand these deposit do not constitute potential aquifer in the district as compared to hard rock due to its limited area extent.

The yield of dug wells developed closer to river course ranges between 122 to 172cum/day, which have 8-16m depth range. The bore wells are generally drilled down to 20 tapping alluvium and part of weathered and fracture/vesicular zones, these wells have a discharge of 4 to 6lps.

9.2 Water Level Scenario

Ground water Survey Development& Agency, Solapur monitors ground water level. Total 156 Observation wells are established and are monitored in the district four times a year i.e. during January, March & May (Pre-monsoon), September (Post-monsoon).

9.2.1 Pre monsoon Depth to Water Level (May-2018)

The pre-monsoon depth to water level ranges from ground level to 7.43 mbgl. It is observed that most of the stations were dry during pre-monsoon season indicating roughly the water level has gone below 9 mbgl as majority of the wells are having a depth range between 8 and 16 mbgl except at few observation wells where it is more than 16 mbgl. Depth to water level range of 5-10 mbgl are observed in major part of the district. Water level in the range of 2-5 mbgl are observed in northern part of the district and also in isolated pached spread over the district.

9.2.2 Post-monsoon Depth to Water Level (Oct-2018)

The post monsoon water level ranges from 4.78 to 8.64 mbgl. Major part of the district shows water level in the range of 5-10 mbgl. The water level within 3 mbgl have been recorded only in few patches in western part of Solapur district particularly in the area ground Jeur and Kanhar in Karmala Taluka, area around Mahlshiras town and Salmukh in Malshiras Taluka and area around Sangola in Sangola Taluka. The area around Pandharpur and Mangalvedha in west central part of the district has recorded water level below 9 mbgl. Similarly the area around Nagaj village in Sangola Taluka in the extreme south west part and village Chincholi in eastern part in South Solapur Taluka and village Shole in Mohol Taluka have also shown water level below 9 mbgl in post monsoon season. Spatial variation in post monsoon depth to water level has been shown.

9.3. Yield of Bore Wells

A wide variation in yield of bore wells has been recorded in the district. The Ground Water Surveys and Development Agency (GSDA) and Zilla Parishad had drilled 19,936 borewells in the district for rural water supply till the ends of March 2004 out of which17439 borewells are successful. Out of these 17439 successful wells, 15914 have been fitted with hand pumps and 938 borewells, where the discharge was recorded more than 5000 liters/hour, have been fitted with power pumps.

9.5. Ground Water Resource Estimation (2015-16)

Ground water resource estimation has been done jointly be CGWB and GSDA, Government of Maharashtra based on GEC-1997 methodology. The total number of watersheds in the Solapur district is 64, which has been again sub-divided into 86 sub units (23 command and 63 non command), which form the assessment unit for the estimation of ground water resources.

The estimated Net annual ground water availability of the district is 158365.12 ham. Existing ground water draft for domestic and industrial purpose is 119552.43. The stage of ground water development is 73.28 % and out of 64 watersheds, 51 watersheds fall in Safe category, 6 in Semi-Critical and remaining 7 in Over-exploited category. Malshiras taluka has been categorized as OE and rest of the talukas are in Safe category. The same are presented below

PART B

FOR MINOR MINERALS OTHER THAN SAND MINING/ RIVER BED MINING

INTRODUCTION

A mineral is a solid chemical compound that occurs naturally in pure form. A rock may consist of a single mineral, or may be an aggregate of two or more different minerals,spacially segregated into distinct phases. Minerals are classified into two groups namely Major minerals and Minor minerals. Amongst these two groups, Minor mineral has been defined under Section 3(e) of Mines and Minerals (Regulation and Development) Act, 1957. These include building stones, gravel, ordinary clay, ordinary sand, Boulders, Kankar, Murum, Brick earth, bentonite etc.Major minerals include Coal, Manganese ore, Iron ore, Bauxite, Lime stone, Chromite, Silica sand , Quartz sand etc. The minerals are state resources and Collector of each district is custodian of this property. Legally, Mining Plan is pre-requisite to commence mining operations and has to be approved by Authority.Minning operations are conducted in accordance with the approved Mining plan. There are 89 minerals, out of which 4 fuel, 11 metallic, 52 non-metallic and 31 are minor minerals. All developmental activities need different construction material of which stone is basic material used for construction of roads, bridges, buildings etc. Stone Quarry are the only source of supply of aggregates or minor mineral. The demand and production of Stone is increasing rapidly due to increased infrastructure, developmental projects and construction activities supported by packages provided by the Government. Hon'ble Supreme Court of India dated 27th February, 2012 in I.A. No.12-13 of 2011 in Special Leave Petition (C) No.19628-19629 of 2009, in the matter of Deepak Kumar etc. Vs. State of Haryana and Others etc., prior environmental clearance has made mandatory for mining of minor minerals irrespective of the area of mining lease. Accordingly, Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF & CC) had issued Office Memorandum No. LllOll/ 47/2011-IA.II(M) dated 18th May 2013. As per this O.M. all mining projects of minor minerals would henceforth require prior Environmental Clearance irrespective of the lease area. The stone quarry and sand quarrying projects need environmental clearance as per the MoEF guidelines and such projects are treated as Category ‘B' even if the lease area is less than 5 Ha. Subsequently, various amendments were made as regards to obtain environmental clearance of the minor minerals. 42

The Hon'ble National Green Tribunal, vide its order dated the 13th January, 2015 in the matter regarding sand mining has directed for making a policy on environmental clearance for mining leases in cluster for minor minerals. As per the latest amendment S.O. 141 (E) & S.O.190(E) dated 15th January 2016 & 20th January in exercise of the powers conferred by sub- section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) and in pursuance of notification of Ministry of Environment and Forest number S.O. 1533 (E), dated the 14th September, 2006 the Central Government was constituted the District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA), for grant of Environmental Clearance for Category „B2' Projects for mining of minor minerals, for all the districts in the country. But, meanwhile The Hon’ble High Court, Nagpur vide its order dated 7th Dec 2018 in the matter regarding sand mining has rulled out the powers of said District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA), for granting of Environmental Clearance for Category B2 later State Govt has issued directions to move towards State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA), for granting of Environmental Clearance for all Categories. The MoEF&CC in its Notification dated 15th January 2016 has prescribed Preparation of District Survey Report for Sand Mining or River Bed Mining and Mining of other Minor Minerals. A detailed procedure and format for preparation of District Survey Report is provided in the said Notification. Further the procedure for preparation of DSR and format is amended vide MoEF&CC Notification S.O. 3611(E) dated 25.07.2018. The DSR is defined at “Appendix -X (See Paragraph 7(iii)(a)" of the notification S.O.141(E)dated 15.01.2016 and S.O. 3611(E) dated 25.07.2018. Objective of preparation of District Survey Report is to ensure identification of areas of aggradations or depositions where mining can be allowed and identification of areas of erosion rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area.

1. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT

Solapur district does not have economic minerals like gold, copper, iron etc however it has a rich source of minor mineral like river sand, stones, pebbles, red soils etc. all through the district. Domestic demand plays a major role in the fast growth of stone industry. In fact the domestic demand of stone has been found increasing in India. The stone consumption has increased over the last few decades. The demand and production of stone as a construction

43 material is increasing rapidly due to increased infrastructure development projects and other construction activities supported by the packages provided by the Government. Western Maharashtra comprises only around 30% of Maharashtra by area, but accounts for almost major consumer of construction material including gitti consumption. Apart from normal growth, the new construction projects proposed to be set up by the various group in public and private sectors are expected further growth in construction material requirement including stone consumption. These markets have been pressing the demand for supply of minor mineral with economical transportation distance and location of other supplying clusters. The entire market for stone is from the surrounding area of Solapur city as in current situation National/State govt has started construction of Highways covering the entire district of Solapur. Distribution of quarries in the District is based on availability of quarry sites and requirement in the market.

There are about 68 stone quarries in Solapur District. Table 2.1B provides summary of the villages bearing stone quarries.

2. LOCATION AND GEOGRAPHICAL DATA The district lies between 17°21′N 75°10′E / 17.35°N 75.16°E - 18°19′N 76°09′E 18.32°N 76.15°E . The city of Solapur is the district headquarters. It falls under Survey of India topo sheets 47N, 47 J, 47D, 47K And 56K. About 32% of the population lives in urban areas.

4. GEOLOGY

The region under study is relatively a small in area; hence, the prominent features associated with the geology are not expected. The region is remarkably free from structural complexity. There are no evidences of any structural disturbances like folding and faulting. The basaltic lava flow traps, which are covered by thin mental of soil almost everywhere in the district.These lava flows, on account of differential weathering give rise to undulating relief. There are no prominent mountains and hill ranges in the district, hence, the region is characterized by typical Deccan trap topography. The fine materials constitute the high country side while, weathered vesicular and geologic basalts generally constitute the river valleys in the region. The traps in the district most probably represent the middle trap in three fold classifications, the lower trap and the upper trap being the other two classes. The geological sequence in the district of Solapur is divided into two main categories: 1. Recent alluvium and soil causing horizons of calcareous pebble (KANKAR) gravels, pebbles and silt lime materials; are of the recent origin. 2. Volcanic flows are resulting in fissure eruptions of lava. These lava flows belong to Deccan trap are in fact, of volcanic episode of the cretaceous Eocene period. 3. The geological survey carried out in the past clearly reveals that the fragments of basalt do not show any sign of volcanic activity in historical past. However, there are structural variations within the same flow both laterally and vertically.

4.1 Geological Structures:- In massive unit of Deccan Trap Basalt, ground water occurs in soil cum weathered jointed cracked and other weaker zones. The upper portion of the massive traps show persistent spheroidal weathering and exfoliation which helps in retaining more ground water in these rocks in comparison to compact massive unit. The storage of ground water in compact massive unit totally depends upon the presence of joints and their nature, distribution and interconnection. The average depth range of dug wells is 12.00 m to 15.00 m and that of bore wells is 50.00 to 60.00 m in hard rock areas, whereas the yields range from 0.60 to 3.10 lps.

4.2 Economic Minerals:- In Solapur district minerals of economic importance are not found. Basaltic rock is used economically for construction purpose. Mud used for making bricks, sand and metal stone used for construction purpose are the only important minerals found in Solapur district.
