2.0 OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY The District as a whole is monotonously covered by Deccan-Trap basaltic lava flows. The lava flows are almost horizontal in disposition but local gentle tilting, undulations and minor flexures are sometimes seen. But for these, no major faulting or folding is seen in the area. The basalts are generally, covered by a thin mantle of black soil of recent origin. Other recent deposits such as river alluvium, sands, gravels, silts and calcareous known as kankar are also found in the river basins. Trap rocks are generally barren of any economically useful and important minerals. However, being hard, dense and durable, they are extensively used as building material and road metal. The pinkish coloured vesicular variety is amenable to cutting into blocks of desired sizes. Minerals of economic value are not found in the district. Mud used for making bricks, sand and metal stone used for construction purpose are the only important minerals found in Solapur district.

2.1 General Discription 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.

2.2 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.

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.

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

Sediments are 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.

Figure No.2: Sedimentation Process

6.1 Sand Replenishment Study

A) Bed Load: 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 21 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: If the water flow is strong enough to pick up sediment particles, they will become part of the 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 a mount 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 (Fig. 16). 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. C) Wash Load The wash load is the portion of sediment that will remain suspended even when there is no water flow. The wash least 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 (increasesing 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. D) Replenishment of snad ghat by Dendy -Bolton formula: Many variables influence sediment yield from a drainage basin. They include climate, drainage area, soil, geology, topography, vegetation and land use. The effect of any of these variables may vary greatly from one geographic location to another, and the relative importance of controlling factors often varies within a given land resource area.

As per PIL no. 3596/2019 at Hon’ble High Court, Nagpur has ordered stay on 04.06.2019, that no auction or tendor can be held after 30th September 2019. That’s why until 30th sept, 2019 no auction was held. Later, there was increase in water in river due to which no survey was done. Hence, in financial year 2019- 20, there was no sand auction done.

7.0 GENERAL PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT General profile of the district is covered in point number 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 8.0 LAND UTILIZATION PATTERN IN THE DISTRICT: FOREST AGRICULTURE, HORTICULTER, MINING ETC.: As the largest private enterprise in India, agriculture contributes one forth of the national GDP. Agriculture has been and will continue to be the life line of India economy. 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.

8.1 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.

8.3 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.

9.0 PHYSIOGRAPHY OF THE DISTRICT 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: Table No.15 Relief Divisions of Solapur District Sr. Relief Division Area in Percentage to Total No. Sq.Km. Geographical Area of the Region 1. The Hilly Region 497 3.34 2. The Plateau Region 11916 80.00 3. The Lowland Region 2482 16.66 Total district 14895 100.00

Relief features: The district lies in the basins of the Nira, Bhima, Sina and Man rivers. Most of the Malshiras taluka in the west drains northwards into the Nira river which falls into the Bhima River in the west of the district. The drainage area of the Bhima which winds south-east through the district includes on the left bank Karmala, Madha, Pandharpur, Mohol and South Sholapur and on the right bank Malshiras, Sangola, Pandharpur and Mangalwedha. The Sina which flows roughly south-east, parallel to the Bhima, drains eastern Karmalo, central Madha, Barshi, eastern Mohol and Sholapur North and South. Near about Sholapur, the country is about 550 metres above mean sea level, except north and eastern Barshi, central Madha, central Karmala, parts of Malshiras and southern Sangola which are hilly. Sholapur district, in relief, is flat or waving. Most of the surface comprises long, low uplands separated by hollows or shallow basins with an occasional level. The shallow-soil- covered uplands are suited for pastures and deep-soiled lowlands for cropping. In Karmala and Madha, the water-shed between the Bhima and the Sina is marked by a tableland and a dotting of individual, residual knolls. Except this, the Sholapur uplands are generally rounded swellings of traps overgrown with yellow sandy spear grass. The rest of the district is bare, bleak and treeless. Except in Barshi, Karmala, Mohol, Malshiras and Sangola, the district of Sholapur has a few hills and even these are isolated, individual, residual resistant remnants. The chief knolls are Vadshin-ghat in Barshi, Waghoba and Bodki in Karmala, Chinchgaon in Madha, Gurvad in Malshiras, Phaltan range in Malshiras and the Khanapur-Jath hills of Sangola.

FIGURE NO.13: SOLAPUR DISTRICT RELIEF DIVISION

9.1 The Hilly Region: Barshi Hills: In the eastern and northern parts of Barshi taluka, the western flanks of Balaghat hills outcrop and rise to the elevations of over 600 metres with occasional scarp edges. The Vadshinghat hills are the most important of the several spurs of the Balaghat range in this region; they run with a southerly trend in this area. The Vadshinghat hills lie about 21 km. east of Barshi noted for a cave temple, sacred to Rameshwar. Apart from hills minor isolated knolls are also found around Koregaon, Pangaon, Vairag and Goudgaon. Karmala Hills: A broken hill range forming a low tableland and a water-shed between the drainages of the Bhima and the Sina runs in a northwest-southeasterly direction to the east of Daund-Kurduwadi railway line, particularly between Jeur and Kem and later crosses it to develop a southerly trend just south of Kem. It rises to a bare 600 metres above mean sea level and about 50 to 60 metres above the level of the adjoining valley floor. Small buttes rising to slightly higher elevations cap tableland. It roughly divides the taluka of Karmala into two equal halves, the western Bhima valley and the eastern Sina valley. These hills divide the country-side into a succession of rises and valleys with a good deal of high-lying tableland which in some places is strewn with tors and boulders but is otherwise generally level and has a thin cover of soil. Except the Waghoba and Bodki hills (595 metres) near Kem, there are a very few hill ranges. The central parts of the taluka form a rough broken ground, highly dissected. The Waghoba hill is about 60 metres in height and the Bodki hill about 50 metres in height above the surrounding plateau levels and lie about 25 km. southeast of Karmala. The slopes of both the hills are covered with stunted grass. In their flat tops lie untilled wastes. The hills themselves rise through a succession of structural levels indicative of the horizontal lava flows and are on the surface covered by a fairly deep layer of red murum or broken trap. Madha Hills: The Karmala hills continue further south of Kem, with a southerly trend and extend into Madha taluka, approaching somewhat closer the Bhima river and having a number of broken spurs extending to the river valley in the neighbourhood of Chinchgaon. The hills, here, rise to about 90 metres above the level of the plains and are fairly steep-sloped and flat-topped. They develop a grass cover over the murum. Near Vadshinghat, there is a spring at the foot of the hill. Akkalkot Hills: In the extreme eastern parts of Akkalkot taluka, adjoining the Gulbarga boundary is a broken hill ground with a number of north-south spurs; this ground forms a tertiary water- shed. These hills are covered with loose boulders and plentiful nodules and kankar. Like the other hill ranges, these are also flat-topped. The hills around Waghdari and Dudhni, though not of much elevations, stand out in the local landscape. Malshiras Hills: The western boundary of the Malshiras taluka forms hills known as the Phaltan range, rising to over 700 metres and falling through a steep scarp face to the north and to the

42 east, overlooking the Malshiras plain at an elevation of about 550 metres which are drained both to the north and the east by the tributaries of the Nira and Bhima rivers. The chief hill near the village of Gurwad about eight miles south of Malshiras is crowned by a temple of Tukai about 400 years old. The hills are bleak and barren and have developed excellent pediments under the semi-arid climatic conditions. [They form the source region for a large number of seasonal ephemeral wadis that burst into floods all of a sudden and choke themselves to death right in their infancy by an excessive load of coarse debris and stream-borne boulders.] Apart from these hills, in the south-eastern parts of Malshiras as well as in Sangola taluka there are a number of outcrops of rock boulders and typical for country. Sangola Hills: In the extreme south-west and south of Sangola, the eastern flanks of the Mahadev range form scarp edge descending from an average height of more than 600 metres through a fairly steep pediment and diluvial silt to the Man basin. This entire area is hilly and rocky with a considerable amount of stony wastes and broken ground. [The highest elevation in the district is reached here in the Mahadev hill (843 metres) to the north of Nagaj on the boundary, lying on the crest of an undissected mesa, lying separated from the main scarp. A number of smaller mesas lie to the north-west of the Mahadev hill such as the Satpata hill, Bhopalgad hill, Kuddelkhadi hill and the Lagna hill.

9.2 The Plateau: Apart from the peripheral scarp faces and the dotting of residual knolls all over, the district as a whole forms a waving plateau at an average elevation of 500 to 600 metres with road depressions in a north-south direction occupied by the valleys of the Bhima and Sina rivers. The plateau underlain by trappean lava floors develops rock exposures, and outcrops in patches and nowhere the plateau regur is quite deep; locally, the streambanks and immediate sides have comparatively, fine textured, loamy, agriculturally more productive soils. Water-supply, too, is relatively more easily available along the streams if not at the surface, at least at shallow surface depths, as is well reflected from the lining of the babul and khair trees on river-banks in an otherwise bleak and treeless landscape. It is possible to trace, over long distances, stream tracks by the lining of trees.

9.3 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

43 of plateau and plain region. The plain area in the district covers about 16.34 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. 9.4 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.

FIGURE NO.14: NATURAL DRAINAGE PATTERN OF SOLAPR DISTRICT

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 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 46 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.

9.5 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 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.

9.6. 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.

(27.14") at Akkalkot near the south-eastern border of the district some rainfall in the form of thunder-showers occurs during the months of April and May. The rainfall during the south-west monsoon in the months of June to September amounts to about 74 per cent of the annual rainfall. September is the rainiest month. About 17 per cent of the normal annual rainfall in the district is received in the post-monsoon months of October and November. The rainfall analysis also indicates drought area in the eastern, southern, south eastern, central and north western parts around Akkalkot, S. Solapur, Karmala, Madha, some part of Mangalvedha, Sangola covering around 60-80% area of the district.

11.0. GEOLOGY

The district as a whole is monotonously covered by Deccan Trap basaltic lava flows, which, in turn, are covered by a thin mantle of soil almost everywhere. These flows, on account of differential weathering, give rise to undulating relief. There are no prominent hill ranges in the district and the region is characterised by typical Deccan trap geomorphology. The fine grained dark grey basaltic flows constitute the high country while the weathered vesicular and zeolitic basalts generally constitute the valleys in the area. The basalt of the district is just a part of the vast expanse of the Deccan lava flows which occupy around 5,18,000 square kilometres of the western and central parts of the country. The traps in the district probably represent middle traps in the three-fold classification of traps (the lower and upper being the other two classes) and attain a thickness of more than 1,200 metres.

The geological sequence in the district is as follows:-

Recent alluvium and soil carrying horizons of Recent. calcareous kankar locally. Basalt flows belonging to the Deccan Trap Cretaceo-Eocene. volcanic episode.

Deccan Trap flows: The precise configuration of entire succession of basalt flows of the district is not known in as much as systematic geological mapping has not been carried out so far. During the course of survey in Akkalkot taluka for groundwater, in 1963-64, 6 flows in a vertical column of 84 metres confined between 472 and 556 metres, respectively from the M.S.L. have been recognised. The flows consist of dark grey fine grained, hard and compact basalts having red pinkish colour at the top portions. A few red bole beds, which are the ferruginous clayey substances of brick-red colour, have been noticed in between the successive flows. They usually conlain fragments of basalts and indicate the periods of diminished or no volcanic activity. The vesicles in basalt, which are around 4-5 mm. in diameters, are usually filled in by secondary minerals like zeolites, calcite, chlorophaeite, etc. There are textural variations within the same flow, both laterally and vertically. There is also a gradual variation in vesicularity from non- vesicular to a vesicular flow. The maximum thickness of a flow in the area, observed in 1963-64, is around 30 metres, while the average is generally of the order of 20 metres. These two types of massive and amygdalloidal basalts have also been met with in the sub-surface strata drilled for dam site exploration pertaining to Bhima Lift Irrigation Scheme near Ujani. Some of the drill holes encountered pockets of red bole and ash. The basalts display typical spheroidal weathering, the depth of the weathered zone varying 50 between 3 to 8 metres. Veins of kankar filling up the fractures of the vesicular traps are quite common. Such vein fillings are absent in the fine grained compact basalt. Soil and Kankar: Almost everywhere in the district, black cotton soil ranging in thickness from 0.3 metre to 2.5 metres is found to cover the top of the different flows. This black cotton soil is the ultimate product of weathering of Deccan Trap. Calcareous kankar and nodules are commonly associated with these soils. The thickness of the soil cap along the river sections increases to as much as 3 to 4 metres. Geological structure: The area is remarkably free from a bye-structural complexity. There are no evidences of any structural disturbances like folding or faulting. The trap flows exhibit a general horizontal disposition though low dips are noticed here and there which exclusively a local phenomena are. Such dips were observed (1963-64) near Setan Dudhani (56 C /7, 17026': 76016') and Maindargi (56 C/7, 17028': 76018'). The flows here show north-south strike with gentle dips towards east and west. The fine-grained basalts show the typical hexagonal columnar type of jointing. The vesicular traps at places exhibit north-south and east-west striking joints, with vertical dips. Closely-spaced sheet jointing gives the rock a sheared look. Economic minerals: No mineral of economic importance has been reported from the district. The hard and compact basalts, however, are locally used as building material and for road metal.

11.2 GROUNDWATER INFORMATION OF SOLAPUR DISTRICT

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.

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 51 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.

Water Level Scenario

Ground water Survey Development& Agency, Solapur monitors ground water level. Total 159 Observation wells are established and are monitored in the district.

1.0 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. 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 62

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.

2.0 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 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.

3.5 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.

4. GEOLOGY OF THE DISTRICT The district as a whole is monotonously covered by Deccan Trap basaltic lava flows, which, in turn, are covered by a thin mantle of soil almost everywhere. These flows, on account of differential weathering, give rise to undulating relief. There are no prominent hill ranges in the district and the region is characterised by typical Deccan trap geomorphology. The fine grained dark grey basaltic flows constitute the high country while the weathered vesicular and zeolitic basalts generally constitute the valleys in the area. The basalt of the district is just a part of the vast expanse of the Deccan lava flows which occupy around 5,18,000 square kilometres of the western and central parts of the country. The traps in the district probably represent middle traps in the three-fold classification of traps (the lower and upper being the other two classes) and attain a thickness of more than 1,200 metres. The geological sequence in the district is as follows:- Recent alluvium and soil carrying horizons of Recent. calcareous kankar locally. Basalt flows belonging to the Deccan Trap Cretaceo-Eocene. volcanic episode.

68 common. Such vein fillings are absent in the fine grained compact basalt. Soil and Kankar: Almost everywhere in the district, black cotton soil ranging in thickness from 0.3 metre to 2.5 metres is found to cover the top of the different flows. This black cotton soil is the ultimate product of weathering of Deccan Trap. Calcareous kankar and nodules are commonly associated with these soils. The thickness of the soil cap along the river sections increases to as much as 3 to 4 metres. Geological structure: The area is remarkably free from a bye-structural complexity. There are no evidences of any structural disturbances like folding or faulting. The trap flows exhibit a general horizontal disposition though low dips are noticed here and there which exclusively a local phenomena are. Such dips were observed (1963-64) near Setan Dudhani (56 C /7, 17026': 76016') and Maindargi (56 C/7, 17028': 76018'). The flows here show north-south strike with gentle dips towards east and west. The fine-grained basalts show the typical hexagonal columnar type of jointing. The vesicular traps at places exhibit north-south and east-west striking joints, with vertical dips. Closely-spaced sheet jointing gives the rock a sheared look. Economic minerals: No mineral of economic importance has been reported from the district. The hard and compact basalts, however, are locally used as building material and for road metal.

5.0 Drainage and Irrigation patern 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

69 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.

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.

6.0 LAND UTILIZATION PATTERN IN THE DISTRICT: FOREST AGRICULTURE, HORTICULTER, MINING ETC.:

As the largest private enterprise in India, agriculture contributes one forth of the national GDP. Agriculture has been and will continue to be the life line of India economy. 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.

6.1 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. SURFACE WATER AND GROUNDWATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

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.

Deccan Trap Basalt

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.

Water Level Scenario Ground water Survey Development& Agency, Solapur monitors ground water level. Total 159 Observation wells are established and are monitored in the district.

8.0 RAINFALL OF THE DISTRICT AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

8.1. Rainfall:

The normal annual rainfall over the district varies from about 584.3 mm. The rainfall in the district varies from 448.8 mm. (17.67") at Akluj near the western border to 689.2 mm. (27.14") at Akkalkot near the south-eastern border of the district some rainfall in the form of thunder-showers occurs during the months of April and May. The rainfall during the south-west monsoon in the months of June to September amounts to about 74 percent of the annual rainfall. September is the rainiest month.

21. IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT (AIR, WATER, NOISE SOIL, FLORA & FAUNA, LAND USE, AGRICULTURE, FOREST ETC.) DUE TO MINING ACTIVITY:

Air Environment: Anticipated Impacts

Stone/metal mining is carried out by opencast manual method. The air borne particulate matter generated by mining and handling operations, transportation and screening of stone chips at crusher is the main air pollutant. The emissions of Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) contributed by tractor trolley. As the number of trips of tractor trolley is less, the pollutant levels are well within prescribed limits. District Survey Report is prepared in accordance with Para 7 (iii) (ll) of S.O. 3611 (E) dated 25th July 2018 of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Notification, New Delhi Rediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out taking into consideration proposed production and net increase in emissions. Air pollution sources in the operating mine are classified into three categories a. Point sources b. Area sources c. Line sources Drilling & Blasting and crusher operations of the mine are considered as point sources As the cumulative impacts for cluster of stone quarries are to be considered, thus the cluster of stone mines is described as area sources Transportation of stone chips from mining pit to crusher is considered as line sources The other source of air pollution is the dust generated during the movement of tractor trolley. Water tankers with spraying arrangement will be used for regular water sprinkling on the haul roads to ensure effective dust suppression. The tractor trolleys are well maintained so that exhaust smoke does not contribute abnormal values of noxious gases and un-burnt hydro- carbons.

Noise Environment: Anticipated Impacts:

The main sources of noise in the mine are classified as follows:  Transportation Vehicles/tractor trolley  Drilling & Blasting  Crushing & Screening 147

Exposure of Noise may lead to hearing losses and may impact of mental health of Workers working in the vicinity.

Water Environment: Anticipated Impacts: Mining activities cause adverse impacts due to mine drainage and siltation due to storm water. The impact on water environment has been considered under the following heads:  Water consumption  Mine seepage and impact on ground water  Impact on surface water bodies  Storm water management

Soil Environment: Anticipated Impacts

Most of the stone quarries are operated at the barren area where outcrops of Basalt are exposed having very thin layer of soil and overburden. This soil is removed and stacked separately for plantation around peripheral area of 7.5 m.

Land Use:

These stone quarries are very small in area. After removal of stone these abandoned quarries are used as water tank for irrigation purpose by lessee.

Forest:

No mining quarry is permitted from 10 km distance from Wildlife Sanctuary boundary in the district.

22. REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON ENVIRONMENT:

148

Remedial measures to mitigate air environment

 Dust suppression arrangements like water tankers on haulage road and at all dust generation points.  Dust extractors during crushing/ screening.  Grading of haul roads time to time and cleaning to remove the accumulated dusty material.  Regular maintenance of the tractor trolley.  Practicing wet drilling.  Controlled blasting using delay detonators.  Usage of sharp drill bits for drilling of holes.  Avoiding of overloading of 10T tippers and covering of loaded tippers with tar paulins during stone chip transportation.  Dust mask provision to workers.  Adequate barrier zone will be maintained all along the mine lease boundary and greenbelt will be maintained in the barrier zone  Periodical monitoring of air quality to take steps to control the pollutants

Remedial measures to mitigate noise environment:

The operations of the mining equipment, plying of tractor trolley and mine machinery like drill operations are the major sources of undesirable noise in the proposed project area. The following control measures are proposed for bringing down the noise levels-

 The vibration due to blasting is minimized by careful planning, supervision and execution of each blast and using milli-second(M.S) delay detonators and proper stemming to prevent blow out of holes.  Green belt will be made around the working areas to screen the noise and also for arresting fugitive dust.  Maintenance and tuning of machinery would be ensured to reduce undesirable noise.  Earplugs and earmuffs will be provided to the workmen.  Limiting the speed of haulage tractor.  Rubber lining in the chutes of Crushing/ screening plant.

Remedial measures to mitigate water environment:

The only pollution anticipated in the surface drainage water is the suspended solids, due to wash off. For this purpose retaining wall with garland drain is proposed. The discharge from this drain 149

is diverted to a settling tank unused pit workings, which allows the sediments to settle. Further to arrest the silted drainage entering into the area down below, check dams and gully plugs shall be erected in the existing natural drains. These check dams also assist in there charge of ground water system. Deliberate attempt has been made to collect this in to a garden drain. This water will be available for uses integrated above. Percolation losses will be negligible.

23. RECLAMATION OF MINED OUT AREA (BEST PRACTICE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED IN THE DISTRICT, REQUIREMENT AS PER RULES AND REGULATIONS, PROPOSED RECLAMATION PLAN)

150

As per Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction & Development Rule 2013,quarry after exhaustion of mineral and on abandonment, the pit be used as a water tank or be used for fish culture or be used for Municipal solid waste dump yard or the same may use for the groundwater recharge pit. As per requirement of Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction & Development Rule 2013 every stone quarry after exhaustion of minerals will plan Final Mine Closure Plan with the approval of Directorate of Geology and Mining, GOM and abandoned the stone quarry as per method of approval within time frame prescribed and approved by authority.

24. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Risk Assessment The proposed project involves Stone mining through semi mechanized opencast mining. The anticipated risks are mentioned below:

Inundation There is no chance of inundation of mine pits from surface waters such as rivers or nallas as it is situated a long away from river. The lease hold area is located in the Solapur district of Maharashtra and the area in general receives appreciable amount of rain fall, which is in the range of 584.3 mm (annual average).

Pit slope & dump slope failures Mining is restricted to an average depth of 12 m from surface levels. No permanent dumps are proposed.

Blasting Controlled drilling and blasting using delay detonators is proposed. Surface Fire There are no ignitable materials in Basalt deposit. Sufficient fire extinguishers of suitable type and make will be made available at strategic locations in the mine lease area to control any fire/explosion incident. Dust from the screening & crushing operations The hazard is the inhalation of dust which is created during the screening & crushing operations which may result in the various respiratory diseases to the workers. While it is not presently

151

possible to totally remove the hazard, properly applied control measures can substantially reduce the risk.

The dust generated during the screening & crushing operations can be controlled by providing proper enclosure to the plant area and by installing rain guns at transfer points inside the plant. Water sprinkling at the crushing and screening plant units also forms an effective measure of controlling dust generation. Provision of green belt surrounding the plant area will further suppress the spread of airborne dust to the surrounding atmosphere. The workers engaged in these operations will be provided with dusk masks.

Noise Loading, screening & crushing operations give rise to harmful levels of noise. Noise generated by screening & crushing can be well controlled by providing enclosure and the green belt. The workers engaged will be provided with ear muffs. The noise created is harmful to anyone who is within a zone around screening & crushing machines at which the noise level is above that considered to be safe for persons to work without having to use control measures. Therefore wherever necessary, the workers engaged will be provided with ear muffs.

The noise levels around screening & crushing equipment should be measured and the risk assessed. Unless control measures are in place no-one, except those necessary for the work inhand, should be allowed inside the designated noisy area.

In most cases this will be the operators. The risk is highest at older machines. Newer large machines are provided with sound insulated systems which control the noise levels to acceptable levels. Other control measures will include training operators and providing them with ear protection, although the later should only be seen as an interim precaution until a permanent solution canbe found.

The risk is very high when no control measures are provided. However if all the control measures specified as above are provided the risk will be low.

Loading The main hazard associated with loading is the Mineral falling on to the loading labour .tractor, tractor toppling over due to uneven ground, failure of hydraulic systems. Good house-keeping

152

practices, regular cleaning of the haulage roads and regular maintenance of the tractors, loading operations under supervision of competent persons, etc will be done to avoid such accidents.

Heavy Vehicles Tractor used for excavation and loading and 20 tonnes dumpers used for mineral and waste transport are the major heavy vehicles in the proposed mine. The main hazards arising from the use of such machines are incompetent drivers, brake failure, lack of all around visibility from the drivers position, access to the cab, vehicle movements particularly reversing, roll over, vibration, noise, dust and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver and company employees likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles, which cannot be seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Visibility defects can be reduced by the use of visibility aids such rear view mirrors. Good maintenance and regular testing are necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure. An area shall be set out as a testing area where regular tests are carried out on the effectiveness of a vehicles braking system. Protection guards will be provided for moving parts of the equipment and handling heavy components during maintenance work. Those most at risk will be the users of the system, vehicle operators and also company employees working in such areas may also be at risk.

Explosives No magazine is within lease hold area. Contractual blasting is proposed.

House keeping The provision and maintenance of a safe and healthy workplace is the most basic principle of health and safety. Dirty and untidy workplaces or walkways contribute to a very large proportion of trip and fall accidents. In the context of surface mining the provision of well defined roadways and walkways clear of obstruction and regular cleaning up of spillage will greatly reduce the potential risk for this type of accidents. Lack of maintenance may lead to road ways and walkways being unsuitable for use.

The Work The application of risk assessment depends upon a full understanding of all aspects of the job being undertaken. In carrying out a risk assessment in relation to a particular task the evaluation

153

must include a review of the knowledge, experience and training of those persons carrying out the work.

Personal Competence It follows that the knowledge, experience and training of personnel involved in work is critical to evaluate any risk assessment. A knowledgeable, experienced well-trained and competently supervised workforce will be at a lower risk of accidents occurring than a poorly trained and badly supervised workforce. For this purpose all the supervisory and managerial staff qualified under MMR 1957 shall only be employed.

Co-ordination A competent person should be given the responsibility for overseeing and coordinating work as required under the Maharashtra Minor Mineral (Extraction &Development) Rule 2013. It is essential that the coordinator ensures that everyone engaged in the work is capable and understands the role of others and their responsibility for each other. This is particularly important when contract workers undertake part or all of the work to be carried out.

Equipment’s The pre-requisite for the risk assessment is that equipment‘s are suitable for the work being undertaken and have been designed, manufactured and installed to at least the minimum standards for health and safety. Failure to meet the standard will result in people being at higher risk and remedial steps have to be implemented to compensate the shortfall. Other interim arrangements should be implemented to protect any persons exposed to latent danger. Maintenance of plant and equipment to agreed specification, whether original or upgraded to the latest health and safety standards is essential.

Dangerous parts of machinery Parts of machinery such as revolving parts, in running nips and entrapment between reciprocating parts as defined in European and National standards should be protected meeting those standards.

Health hazards

154

For the purposes of this document health hazards should be interpreted as being harmful dust and noise which is emitted during surface mining operations, as well as the handling of heavy loads. While complete elimination and often suppression at source is not practicable, in many cases, the normal threshold values of health standards should be made applicable. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) The PPE should be of good construction, where ever possible ISI certified, suitable for the hazard e.g. a dust respirator fitted with the correct filter to capture the particular hazardous dust and maintained to recommended standards. As personal protective equipment only affords limited protection it should only be used as a last resort and then as an inter-arrangement until other steps are taken to reduce the risk of personal injury to an acceptable level.

Traffic Movement The traffic movement should only take place within designated areas and over suitable roadways. Adopting one way traffic movement systems are preferred to two directional traffic systems. The risk of accidents due to traffic movement is much less with a one way traffic. Whenever mineral is mined the first step in winning the product is the preparation of the site. The four main stages in the site preparation are: 1. Planning 2. Surveying 3. Clearing of site 4. Laying out

Planning The risk of injuries can be significantly reduced if sufficient regard is given to health and safety at the planning stage of a new or developing mine. Using trained drivers can largely eliminate the danger of being struck by large moving vehicles and providing the vehicles with suitable appliances, such as aids to ensure the driver has all-round visibility. Designing and implementing one-way traffic systems and ensuring that open edges of roadways are suitably protected with parapet wall to prevent accidental driving off the edge can further reduce the danger. Additionally, ensuring that the vehicles are properly maintained in good working condition, particularly the braking system will go a long way to help the driver control the vehicle. Well- designed access and working platforms will also reduce the possibility of a fall.

Surveying

155

Surveying has its hazards, for example surveyors are likely to be seriously injured if they fall from heights or are thrown out of overturning vehicles. Since the hazards are created by ground formation it is unlikely that they can be removed.

Those normally at risk would be the surveying team of the surveyor and assistants. Individuals working at the edge of vertical face or on very steep undulating ground are at greater risk than those working on level ground. Driving over steep rough terrain is more dangerous than driving over gentle slopes. It is necessary to give clear positive instruction and ensure vehicles used to gain access to the areas to be surveyed are well maintained and suitable for the terrain over which access is to be gained.

Clearance Clearance covers all the activities associated with preparing a site ready for laying out primary roads for working a face. The primary hazards are being struck by falling trees and debris from demolition of buildings, use of power saws, equipment used in the removal of the top layers of earth and trucks used to convey it to storage areas, and the possibility of being struck by trucks. The hazards are created in clearing the site. While the clearing of the site cannot be avoided by adopting the safest methods to carry out the work can control hazards. For example, fully trained persons should be used in tree felling operations. Well-maintained fully protected power saws should be used and the operatives should wear full personal protection e.g. safety helmets, ear defenders, face shields, gloves, full protection for legs (trousers) and boots.

Laying out There are many different ways of opening and development of mines but careful planning particularly concerning the mine layout will reduce hazards. Well maintained equipment is essential to reduce the risk of injuries. If suitable equipment is not used, for example if poor and badly constructed scaffolding is used there is a much higher probability of persons falling from heights or the scaffolding collapsing than if good properly constructed scaffolding is used. To reduce the risk of injuries while using large earth moving equipment and vehicles the equipment drivers and those giving signals should be well trained. The lack of training and competence in the use of such equipment is the biggest cause of such type of accidents.

Disaster Management Plan The following natural/industrial hazards may occur during normal operation.

156

 Inundation of mine pit due to flood/excessive rains;· Slope failure of pits  Accident due to explosives;  Accident due to heavy mining equipment; and In order to take care of above hazard/disasters, the following control measures have been adopted.

Checking and regular maintenance of garland drains and earthen bunds to avoid any Inflow of surface water in the pit  Provision of suitable pumps for pumping out water from the pit during heavy rains  Entry of unauthorized persons is prohibited  Firefighting and first-aid provisions in the mines office complex and mining area  Provisions of all the safety appliances such as safety boot, helmets, goggles etc. are made available to the employees and regular check for their use  Training and refresher courses for all the employees working in hazardous premises  Working of mine, as per approved plans and regularly updating the mine plans  Cleaning of mine faces is regularly done  Regular maintenance and testing of all mining equipment as per manufacturer‘s Guidelines Suppression of dust on the haulage roads  Increasing the awareness of safety and disaster through competitions, posters and other similar drives. The management is able to deal with the situation efficiently to reduce confusion keeping in view of the likely sources of danger in the mine.

Out Line of Disaster Management Plan The purpose of disaster management plan is to restore the normalcy for early resumption of mining operation due to an unexpected, sudden occurrence resulting to abnormalities in the course of mining activity leading to a serious danger to workers or any machinery or the environment.

System of communication An internal communication system for the department head and to their line of command should be maintained. Having the telephone no‘s and addresses of adjoining mines, rescue station, police station, Fire service station, local hospital, electricity supply agency and standing consultative committee members is another essential aspect. Consultative committee A standing consultative committee of 3 persons headed by Mines Manager will be formed.

157

Facilities & Accommodation Accommodation and facilities for medical Centre, rescue room and for various working groups will be provided.

First Aid & medical facilities The mine management is having first aid for use in emergency situation. All casualties would be registered and will be given first aid. Stores and equipment A detailed list of equipment available its type & capacity and items reserved for emergency will be maintained. Transport services A well-defined transport control system will be provided to deal with the situation. Functions of public relations group A cordial relation with government officials and other social service organization and working groups shall be maintained. To liaise with representatives of the mine workers to ameliorate the situation of panic, tension, sentiments, grievances and misgivings created by any disaster. To ameliorate the injured, survivors and family members of affected persons by providing material, moral support, finance and establishing contact with relatives of victims.

Security Strict manning of security posts during the disaster will be done.

Catering & Refreshment Arrangements will be made for the victims, rescue teams and others for their Catering &Refreshment services.
