• About 212837 Tonne of mining of minor minerals(Sand) will be carried out in an area 40.112 Hectare in the revenue estate of Village Auliapur, Tehsil Balachaur, District SBS Nagar on river Satluj in H.B. no. 459, and details of khasra nos is as under:- Murba No.:18, Killa No.: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 Murba No.: 19, Killa No.: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 Murba No.: 13, Killa No.: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 Murba No.: 12, Killa No.: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22/1, 22/2, 23, Murba No.: 11, Killa No.: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. • The entire mining lease area being part of river bed, there is no vegetation in the lease area. Hence, there would be no clearance of existing land, vegetation and buildings. • The mining activity will be confined to the lease area i.e. from the dry bed of River Satluj, so no new land use will be created. Excavation will be carried out only up to a depth of 3 m (Maximum) below ground level or above water level, whichever is less. Excavation of Sand material will be done only during the day time and completely stopped during the monsoon season. • The work relates to only excavation of sand (River Bed Material) from dry bed of the river during non-monsoon season. No construction work is required for the proposed activity. 40

• The proposed project is of open cast Sand (RBM) mining. There will not be any underground mining or tunneling. • The minerals excavated during mining process will be replenished naturally during the subsequent rainy seasons. Hence no reclamation works are proposed. • Sand excavated will be loaded directly into trucks for transportation. Hence no storage facility will be required. • About 15-20 persons for 300 working days will be deployed to carry out various activities of mining of minor minerals. • Insignificant amount of Domestic solid waste will be generated from the proposed project. 287525 tonnes of top soil will generated.. The soil covering the sand horizon commands good demand and may be distribute to neighborhood farmers free of cost. The top soil cover should not be wasted and disposed off anywhere else • Liquid effluent will be generated from Portable Bio-Toilet provided for the mining workers at site. The sewerage generated from the toilet shall be collected and treated by the inbuilt process of DRDO pantented Bio technology using specially cultured anaerobic bacteria . • No new road, rail will be proposed. Only exiting transport network will be used. There will be an increase in traffic because of movement of few trucks for transportation of minerals • The total water requirement will be 8.22 KLD out of which 6.6 KLD will be used for dust suppression activities, 0.675 KLD for domestic purpose, and 0.945 KLD for Green Belt development which will be supplied through private tankers on rent. • This project operation will not involve use of any materials, hazardous to human health or environment. Mining activity will be done semi- mechanically by using JCB & Poclain. No hazardous and toxic material will be used or to be generated during operational phase. • Proposed mining is for sand from inactive channel of riverbed. There is a cover of approximately 50 cm thick of soil/overburden. The soil covering the sand horizon commands good demand because of enriched soil nutrients and may be distributed to villagers free of cost

• Insignificant amount of Municipal solid waste will be generated managed through workers themselves. • Portable Bio-Toilet shall be provided for the workers at the site. The sewage generated from the toilet provided for the mine workers shall be collected and treated by the inbuilt process of DRDO patented Bio technology using especially cultured anaerobic bacteria. • The emission will be due to operation of JCB/Poclain machine and by movement of vehicles used in transportation (vehicular exhaust) which will be minimized by using only PUC vehicles and Bharat-IV stage vehicles in related to the project. • Some dust is likely to be emitted during transportation of minerals i.e. dust, vehicular exhaust anticipated during loading, unloading of excavated material. However adequate measures will be taken to suppress the dust and preventing it to become airborne. • Blasting and piling is not proposed for the proposed project. • Mining will be carried during day time and in open area. Thus there is no need for lighting and cooling systems. • No discharge of sewage or other effluents will be there. No hazardous substance will be used or produced during the proposed mining operations. • The proposed activity will be undertaken by the Department of Industries & Commerce, Punjab and the General Manager-cum-Mining Officer will be Incharge of the Mining site. The project proponent has submitted the consents of the farmer of the land from where mining is to be carried out. • NOC has been issued by the Department of Forest & Wildlife, SBS Nagar vide letter no. 239 dated 10/04/2015, to the effect that the above said khasra nos are not under the control of Department of forest & Wildlife, SBS Nagar. Further, there is one forest namely Auliapur Reserve Forest adjoining to the said mining site, as such demarcation is required. • Further, the project proponent has clarified that mining has to be carried out in the Hadbast no. 459 as mentioned in jamabandi . Hadbast No. 421 is wrongly mentioned in the in Pre feasibility report. • The project proponent has also presented the proposed TOR

The SEAC observed that as per the amendment in EIA notification, 2006 issued by MoEF & CC vide notification dated 15.01.2016, sustainable sand mining guidelines have been framed according to which the District Survey Report (DSR) shall be prepared and finalized for each minor mineral in the district separately by the DEIAA and DSR shall form the basis for application for Environmental Clearance, Preparation of report and appraisal of the projects. To this observation of SEAC, the General Manager cum Mining officer requested that provisions of amended notification dated 15.01.2016 including forming District Survey Report to the basis of report etc. will be kept in mind while preparing EIA report. He further requested that they may be issued TOR and allowed to start monitoring/collection of baseline data at their own risk & cost and EIA report will be prepared subject to technical feasibility of site as per District Survey Report.

There will not be any underground mining or tunneling. • The minerals excavated during mining process will be replenished naturally during the subsequent rainy seasons. Hence no reclamation works are proposed. • Sand excavated will be loaded directly into trucks for transportation. Hence no storage facility will be required. • About 13-15 persons for 300 working days will be deployed to carry out various activities of mining of minor minerals. • Insignificant amount of Domestic solid waste will be generated from the proposed project. 80600 tonnes of top soil will generated.. The soil covering the sand horizon commands good demand and may be distribute to neighborhood farmers free of cost. The top soil cover should not be wasted and disposed off anywhere else • Liquid effluent will be generated from Portable Bio-Toilet provided for the mining workers at site. The sewerage generated from the toilet shall be collected and treated by the inbuilt process of DRDO patented Bio technology using specially cultured anaerobic bacteria. • No new road, rail will be proposed. Only exiting transport network will be used. There will be an increase in traffic because of movement of few trucks for transportation of minerals • The total water requirement will be 4.685 KLD out of which 2.0 KLD will be used for dust suppression activities, 0.585 KLD for domestic purpose, and 2.1 KLD for Green Belt development which will be supplied through private tankers on rent. • This project operation will not involve use of any materials, hazardous to human health or environment. Mining activity will be done semi-mechanically by using JCB & Poclain. No hazardous and toxic material will be used or to be generated during operational phase. • Proposed mining is for sand from inactive channel of riverbed. There is a cover of approximately 50 cm thick of soil/overburden. The soil covering the sand horizon commands good demand because of enriched soil nutrients and may be distributed to villagers free of cost

• Insignificant amount of Municipal solid waste will be generated managed through workers themselves. • Portable Bio-Toilet shall be provided for the workers at the site. The sewage generated from the toilet provided for the mine workers shall be collected and treated by the inbuilt process of DRDO patented Bio technology using especially cultured anaerobic bacteria. • The emission will be due to operation of JCB/Poclain machine and by movement of vehicles used in transportation (vehicular exhaust) which will be minimized by using only PUC vehicles and Bharat-IV stage vehicles in related to the project. • Some dust is likely to be emitted during transportation of minerals i.e. dust, vehicular exhaust anticipated during loading, unloading of excavated material. However adequate measures will be taken to suppress the dust and preventing it to become airborne. • Blasting and piling is not proposed for the proposed project. • Mining will be carried during day time and in open area. Thus there is no need for lighting and cooling systems. • No discharge of sewage or other effluents will be there. No hazardous substance will be used or produced during the proposed mining operations. • The proposed activity will be undertaken by the Department of Industries & Commerce, Punjab and the General Manager-cum-Mining Officer will be Incharge of the Mining site. The project proponent has submitted the consents of the farmer of the land from where mining is to be carried out. • NOC has been issued by the Department of Forest & Wildlife, SBS Nagar vide letter no. 239 dated 10/04/2015, to the effect that the above said khasra nos are not under the control of Department of forest & Wildlife, SBS Nagar. The SEAC observed that as per the amendment in EIA notification, 2006 issued by MoEF & CC vide notification dated 15.01.2016, sustainable sand mining guidelines have been framed according to which the District Survey Report (DSR) shall be prepared and finalized for each minor mineral in the district separately by the DEIAA and DSR shall form the basis for application

for Environmental Clearance, Preparation of report and appraisal of the projects.
