1. INTRODUCTION Hon'ble Supreme Court of India dated 27 th 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 pg. 47 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. The Hon'ble National Green Tribunal, vide its order dated the 13 th 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 15 th January 2016 & 20 th 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 14 th September, 2006 the Central Government had 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 later on Hon. NGT, vide its order dated 13 th Sept.2018, stated that for 0-5 Ha areas also recommendation of grant EC by SEIAA instead of DEAC/DEIAA. The MoEF&CC in its Notification dated 15 th 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

Fig. 1 : Map - Bhandara District Topo Map 2. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT Geologically Bhandara district come in Central Indian tectonic Zone, which is a protrezoic mobile belt running between the North Indian cratonic block (Bundelkhand craton) and the South Indian cratonic block (singhbhum, Bastar and Dharwar craton). Bhandara district has been endowed with various valuable mineral resources. Manganese is the major mineral with excellent potential occurred in the Sausar supracrustal rock with some sort of associate other mineral like Quartz and Quartzite with less potential. Rocks of this group are well exposed in the northern part of the district and the mineral deposits are found in Mohadi and Taluka. group are exposed on the southern east of the district and highly shear zone consisting an metarhyolite, metasediments rocks. Minerals like kyanite, silliminite, pyrophyllite are well exposed in this area. Cromite and Corundum is also exposed in the alluvium portion of the district. In Minor mineral, Annual rainfall of the district are 1237 mm and rock succession are tectonically disturb, thus weathering of the rock strata is much more causing an huge amount of Murum, Soil (clay) are abundant and scattered in district but quality murum especially red zone granular are well exposed in , Sakoli and Lakhani Tahsil. Amphibolites rocks are exposed in the Adyaal village of Pawani tahsil and Khedepar, masalmeta area of Lakhani tahsil where black stone quarry with good hardness are well exposed. The entire market for sand is from the Bhandara, Sakoli, , Mohadi, , Lakhandur, Tumsar city and surrounding areas. 71 locations of sand ghats over Wainganga, Chulband, and Bavanthadi rivers where sand deposition took place from replenishment.

6. PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS OF THE DISTRICT: SEDIMENT TRANSPORTATION Sediment transport is the movement of organic and inorganic particles by water. In general, greater the flow more sediment that will be conveyed. Water flow can be strong enough to suspend particles in the water column as they move downstream, or simply push them along the bottom of a waterway. Transported sediment may include mineral matter, chemicals and pollutants, and organic material. Another name for sediment transport is sediment load. The total load includes all particles moving as bed load, suspended load, and wash load. a. BED LOAD

Fig. 2: Bed load particles travel with water flow by sliding or bouncing along the bottom. Bed load is the portion of sediment transport that rolls, slides or bounces along the bottom of a waterways. This sediment is not truly suspended, as it sustains intermittent contact with the streambed, and the movement is neither uniform nor continuous. Bed load occurs when the force of the water flow is strong enough to overcome the weight and cohesion of the sediment. While the particles are pushed along, they typically do not move as fast as the water around them, as the flow rate is not great enough to fully suspend them. Bed load transport can occur during low flows (smaller particles) or at high flows (for larger particles). Approximately 5-20% of total sediment transport is bed load. In situations where the flow rate is strong enough, some of the smaller bed load particles can be pushed up into the water column and become suspended. b. SUSPENDED LOAD While there is often overlap, the suspended load and suspended sediment are not the same thing. Suspended sediment are any particles found in the water column, whether the water is flowing or not. The suspended load, on the other hand, is the amount of sediment carried downstream within the water column by the water flow. Suspended loads require moving water, as the water flow creates small upward currents (turbulence) that keep the particles above the bed. The size of the particles that can be carried as suspended load is dependent on the flow rate. Larger particles are more likely to fall through the upward currents to the bottom, unless the flow rate increases, increasing the turbulence at the streambed. In addition, suspended sediment will not necessarily remain suspended if the flow rate slows.

Fig. 3: If the water flow is strong enough to pick up sediment particles, they will become part of the suspended load. c. WASH LOAD

Fig. 4: The wash load is the portion of sediment that will remain suspended even when there is no water flow. The wash load is a subset of the suspended load. This load is comprised of the finest suspended sediment (typically less than 0.00195 mm in diameter). The wash load is differentiated from the suspended load because it will not settle to the bottom of a waterway during a low or no flow period. Instead, these particles remain in permanent suspension as they are small enough to bounce off water molecules and stay afloat. However, during flow periods, the wash load and suspended load are indistinguishable. Turbidity in lakes and slow moving rivers is typically due the wash load. When the flow rate increases (increasing the suspended load and overall sediment transport), turbidity also increases. While turbidity cannot be used to estimate sediment transport, it can approximate suspended sediment concentrations at a specific location. The rate of sediment transport typically increases as a power function of flow; that is, a doubling of flow typically produces more than a doubling in sediment transport and most sediment transport occurs during floods. The environmental impacts from in-stream mining can be avoided, if the annual bed load is calculated and aggregate extraction is restricted to that value or some portion of it. To accurately limit extraction to some portion of bed load, the amount of sediment that passes the in-stream mining site during a given period of time must be calculated. There is a large amount of uncertainty in the process of calculating annual rates of bed load transport. How much coarse material is moved, how long it remains in motion as also how far it moves depends on the size, shape & packing of the material and the characteristics of the river flow. Downstream movement commonly occurs as irregular bursts of short-distance movement separated by longer periods, when the particles remain at rest. Because bed load changes from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and year-to-year, estimating annual bed load rates is a dynamic process involving careful examination. Constant variations in the flow of the river make the channel floor and riverbanks a dynami c interface, where some materials are being eroded while others are being deposited. The net balance of this activity, on a short- term basis, is referred to as scour or fill. On a long-term basis, continued scour results in erosion (degradation), while continued fill results in deposition (aggradation). A general indicator of the stability of a stream relates to the amount of vegetation present. Gravel bars that are vegetated or where the gravel is tightly packed, generally indicate streams, where the gravel supply is in balance. Streams with excessive gravel generally have gravel bars with little or no vegetation, and are surfaced with loosely packed gravel. d. What is Sediment Deposition? Sediment is necessary to the development of aquatic ecosystems through nutrient replenishment and the creation of benthic habitat and spawning areas. These benefits occur due to sediment deposition – when suspended particles settle down to the bottom of a body of water. This settling often occurs when water flow slows down or stops and heavy particles can no longer be supported by the bed turbulence. Sediment deposition can be found anywhere in a water system, from high mountain streams, to rivers, lakes, deltas and floodplains. However, it should be noted that while sediment is important for aquatic habitat growth, it can cause environmental issues if the deposition rates are too high, or too low.

Fig. 5: When the flow rate changes, some sediment can settle out of the water, adding to point bars, channel bars and beaches Sediment transportation and Deposition is depends upon various factors like Slope of the Area, Annual Rainfall, Lithology, flow intensity of River, Geomorphology, Soil, Geology and Land use .

7. GENERAL PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT: The district comes under division () in State. It is newly formed district and carved out by the division of Bhandara district in May 1999. The Bhandara district as well as its offshoot district i.e., Gondia district is unique in Maharashtra I. The entire area of the district is underlain by crystalline rocks while rest of the State is covered by Deccan Trapbasalt; II. The district is essentially a rice-growing area, while wheat is the major crop over rest of theState; III. It is endowed with the presence of large number of irrigation tanks known as ‘MalguzariTanks’. Bhandara district is situated on North-Eastern side of Maharashtra State and share the State border with Madhya Pradesh. It covers an area of about 3951 sq.km and lies between 20°.38’ and 21°.36’ North latitudes and 79°27’ to 80°06’ east longitudes. The adjoining districts are Gondia on eastern side, on northern side Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh on western side and to the south is Chandrapurdistrict. The total population of the district is about 1,200,334 and the district has a population density of 294 inhabitants per square kilometre as per 2011 census. The literacy rate of district is approximately 67.67%. Basically district is divided into seven talukas namely Bhandara, Mohadi, Tumsar, Lakhani, Sakoli, Pauni and Lakhandur.

 History: The Ramayana said that the region to the south of the Godavari was inhabited by natives called Rakshasas. In the seventh century, the district was included in the territories of the Haihaya Rajput kings of Chhattisgarh, whose kingdom was known as Maha Kosala. The name of the district is derived from 'Bhannara', the name by which it is mentioned in a stone inscription at Ratanpur, which confirms that the name dates back to at least the 11th century. Formerly a part of the territories of the Haihaya Rajput kings of Chhattisgarh, Bhandara was taken over by the Panwar rajput in the 12th century, followed by the Gond chiefs. By the 17th century, the district was made a part of Berar by Peshwas, who had invaded the region during the period. In 1699, the region came under the control of Parasoji Bhonsle along with the territories of Vidarbha and Berar. Raghoji Bhonsle of Vidarbha became the leader in 1743, and was succeeded by his son Janoji after his death in 1755. The feudal dynasty of Lanji governed the region from 1818 to 1830, and formed the Bhandara district in 1821.

21

Peshwas were ousted by Nizams during the 1850s, who ceded Berar to the British East India Company in 1903. With the re-organization of states in 1956, Bhandara was transferred to Bombay Province from the state of Madhya Pradesh. After the formation of Maharashtra in 1960, Bhandara evolved as a district of the state. The erstwhile Bhandara district was bifurcated on 1 May 1999, and a new district, Gondia, was formed. Thus, Gondia and Bhandara came into existence. It is known as the "District of Lakes".

 Languages/Dialects :Marathi, Hindi and Gondi. 8. LAND UTILIZATION PATTERN OF THE DISTRICT: Forest, Agriculture, land not available for cultivation, grazing and cultivable waste land, follow land and net sown area etc:

9. PHYSIOGRAPHY OF THE DISTRICT: The district form the part of Wainganga sub basin and has an undulating terrain with elevations ranging from 263 to 315 m msl. Physiographically, the district can be broadly divided into two units viz; the one controlled by structural features i.e. the structural origin and the other controlled by differential weathering i.e. the denudation origin. The structural hills and ridges are more common in the eastern and southern parts of the district, while the denudational features like pediments/pediplains are seen in northcentral, west central and south-west portions.

It is related to cloudiness, insulation, humidity, precipitation, wind velocity, wind direction, surface flow, and also related to nature of topography, vegetation, soil cover and itshuman utilization pattern. Waingangais the main river in the Bhandara District. It drains about 137.1 Kms. of surface. The Wainganga river receives numerous tributaries on both sides and drains the western, central, and eastern regions of the Balaghatdistrict ofMadhya Pradesh, Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, Bhandara, Gondia, &Nagpur Districts of Maharashtra. The main tributaries of the Wainganga River are the Thel, Thanwar, Bagh, Chulband, Garhavi, Khobragadi, and Kathani, which meet on the left bank; and the Hirri, Chandan, Bawanthari, Kanhan, and Mul joining on the right bank.Hence they are not useful for agriculture in summer season. The main stream of the Wainhanga originates at Mahadev hills near Gopalganj, Seoni District,[1] on the southern slopes of the Satpura Range of Madhya Pradesh. The river has developed extensive floodplains characterized by sweeping graceful meanders, low alluvial flats, and slip-off slopes. The river has high banks, which measure from 10 m (33 ft) to 15 m (49 ft) on either side. The northern part is surrounded by the Mahadeo hills and Satpura Range, with an average elevation of 625 m (2,051 ft) above sea level. The valley of the Wainganga River is forested and sparsely populated. Balaghat and Bhandara are the major cities located on the bank of the Wainganga River, while Pauni and Desaiganj are smaller urban centers on the smallest of the river banks. The Wainganga River is the water lifeline of these cities and their primary source of water. The Government of Maharashtra is developing a protection wall for Bhandara to protect it from heavy flooding. This flood protection wall encircles Bhandara from east to south Most of the sand ghats are on Wainganga, Chulband, Sur Nadi and Bavanthadi rivers. Only Feasible sand ghats are allowed by administration for further process of EC to recommend for scooping of sand every year after proper survey.

Along the final 142 miles (229 km) of its course, the river forms the boundary between Maharashtra and Telangana states and is known as the Pranhita. The river receives water from numerous tributaries, notably the Bagh, Bawanthadi, Kanhan, Chulband, Garhvi, and Thanwar rivers. The river drains into the eastern Nagpur plain and the areas around Seoni and Chhindwara. During the rainy season the river is navigable for only a short distance upstream from the confluence with the Bagh river.
