INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent Marble Quarry Mining Project (quarry no. 240/5, OF Pahar Kuwa Range) is situated at Pahar Kuwa Range, Tehsil Makrana, District Nagaur, and State Rajasthan over an area of 0.3588 ha. The concerned mine is proposed by M/s Kanak Marble Mines, Makrana, Tehsil – Makrana, Dist –Nagaur, (Rajasthan)., Tehsil Makrana and District Nagaur of Rajasthan. Project proponent wants to take environment clearance for the proposed plan period. The average rated proposed production is 3000 TPA (R.O.M) of marketable marble Quarry. The estimated project cost is Rs 50 Lakhs. The expected life of mine is 75 years.

2.2 Brief Information about the Project The project has been proposed for mining Marble Quarry by opencast Semi- Mechanized method. The Q.L. area is 0.3588 Ha. The average targeted rate of production is 3000 MTPA (R.O.M). The expected life of the mine is 75 years. Water requirement for the proposed project for drinking use, dust suppression and other use (wire saw cutting and wet drilling) will be 3.0 KLD. Drinking water will be provided by nearby village through tractor tank. 2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region Socially and economically the area is backward. At present the major occupation of the villagers are farming and cattle rearing. The proposed mining will provide regular employment to the villagers of the area. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap The demand for Marble Quarry is ever growing with the development in the infrastructure sector of our country. This Marble Quarry from India are generally used as in flooring, and to pave the floors of large commercial complexes, hospitals, airports, shopping malls, railway stations, parks etc. Therefore there is always been a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market.

2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production

As the mineral is sufficiently found indigenously so the import of the same is not required. 2.6 Export Possibility There is no proposal to export the Marble. However, marble quarry produced from the mine will fulfill the needs of the region and if surplus, it will be considered for export also. 2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets Domestic Market It is an important stone for construction and architecture. These marble quarry are generally used in flooring, and to pave the floors of large commercial complexes, hospitals, airports, shopping malls, railway stations, parks etc.

Export Market Since the produced mineral is being sufficiently absorbed in the local market and to sustain its self-sufficiency, the requirement for mineral export has been discouraged. 2.8 Employment Generation As per proposed mining total 10 unskilled workers, 3 skilled operated are to be proposed to be employed in mining. The labor will be employed from nearby village. Some local habitants of the area will get indirect employment from the mining activities and by transportation. 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of Project Including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects, If Any. There is no interlinked or interdependent project of this mine. No other allied activities i.e. washing of minerals, beneficiation etc. will be carried out with this project. 3.2 Location The Q.L. falls in Pahar Kuwa Range. Pahar Kuwa Range is situated near Makarana of 3.5km in South west direction. The nearest railway station is Makrana, which is about 4.0 km. The Q.L. area falls in G.T. sheet no. 45I/12. The Q.L. area falls in Pahar Kuwa Range and range is bounded by Longitude 74º 41' 34.8'' to 74 º 42' 11.6'' and Latitude 26 º 59' 29.6'' to 27 º 00' 32.5''. 3.3 Details of Alternate Sites Mining is site specific so no alternative site is proposed. 3.4.1 Size or magnitude of operation The Q.L. area is 0.3588hectare and it is proposed to produce Marble at capacity 3000 TPA (R.O.M) (R.O.M) using the semi mechanized open cast mining methods. Physiography The Q.L. area is having flat topography. The highest Contour in the area is 425.00mts and the lowest Contour is 424.00mts. The general slope of the area is towards South direction. There is no seasonal nalla flowing in the area as well as

27 out side the area. The average rainfall in the area is about 500mm. The rainwater flows down the slope of the area and flows into the nearby areas. Some part of water is accumulated during rainy season in the area, accumulated water pumped out. The maximum temperature recorded in summer is 45°C, whereas minimum temperature is nearly 4°C during winter. The pre-monsoon depth of water is about 80m, whereas post-monsoon depth is about 70m. There is no public road is passing through the area. There is no forest land with in the lease area. Regional Geology Geologically, Nagaur district is occupied by the Delhi Supergroup rocks, Erinpura rocks, Erinpura Granite, Malani Igneous suite, Marwar Supergroup rocks and Jogira Fullers earth/Kuchera Khajwana series focks. Delhi Supergroup comprises the Raialo, Alwar and Ajabgarh groups. Raialo group is mainly represented by conglomerate quartzite, dolomitic and calcitic marbles and garnetiferous schist. These are mainly exposed near Ras and Makarana. Local Geology: The marble deposit extends over a strike length of about 12Kms having a width of 1.6 km, located in the west of Makarana town. In this belt there are six parallel to sub parallel bands of marble having 2 to 12 mts width, occurring between Borawad and Makarana. On the basis of physical characters like colour, pattern, grain size etc Makarana marble belt has been divided into 14 blocks. Blocks wise description is as follows:

S. No. Name of Block Type of marble Grain size Grade 1. Mata Bhar Pink, White, Adanga Fine I & II 2. Rawat Dungri Adanga - II 3. Kala-Nada Talab Dark pink Coarse I & II 4.

Borawad range - Coarse II *source of above Regional and local Geology is as per DMG, Rajasthan publish addition of Geology and mineral resources of Nagaur Vol_22-1-2-a. Geomorphologically, the area is represented by strike ridges, sand sheets, anthropogenic overburden mounds, slurry dumps and deep pits. Drainage in the mining area is mostly internal. Major part of the area is covered by mobile to semi stable, NNW-SSE to NE-SW trending sand dunes which overlie calcareous sand pseudo-conglomerate, kankar or gypsite bed of Quaternary period. Marble is exposed on surface in the central part, whereas overburden varies upto 15 m in the northern and the southern part of the area. Makrana marble deposits belong to Ajmer Formation of Kumbhalgarh Group of the Delhi Supergroup (Pareek, 1984; G.S.I. 1997). Five prominent marble bands occur in the area west of Makrana. From east to west these are known as (1) Devi-Pahar Kuwa Range (2) Dungri range (3) Pink range, (4) Makrana Kumhari range, and (5) Borawar Kumhari range with band I and II (Natani, 2001). The different marble bands have formed due to tight isoclinal folding. The mining

29 ranges are known by different names in different blocks (Fig. 1). At present mines extend from Matabhar in the north to Bilu-Mored in the south (approximately 13 km) along the strike and from Gunawati in the east to Borawar in the west (about 1.6 km) across the strike. Matabhar, Kalanada, Kolhadungri and Bilu-Mored are new mining areas.

Marble in the area trending NNW-SSW with steep dips is 70° to 72° towards ESE. In the quarry area marble is coarse grained and colour of the area is white. The entire rock mass is jointed. There are two different sets of joints running perpendicular to each other dividing the massive rock mass into blocky formation. Hanging wall is also present in working pit in SE direction & foot wall is present in NW direction.

Use of Marble:-Nagaur district is well known in the world over owing to the presence of Makrana marble. Marble occurring in the vicinity of Makrana town is so famous that 'Makrana' has become the synonymous of marble. It has been worked intensively from time immemorial. Word famous Taj Mahal of Agra: Victoria Memorial, Kolkata: Delwara Jain Temple at Mount Abu and Ranakpur Temple in Pali & other famous monuments of excellent architectural art and beauty are constructed of Makrana marble. 3.5 Project description with process details 3.5.1 Method of Mining The mining will be semi mechanized with wet drilling of the holes through compressed air operated jack hammers and cutting of rock will be done by splitting and lifting of blocks is done by jib cranes. It is proposed to carry out the work of excavation without blasting. The mining will be done with help of wet drill m/c, and Diamond wire saw cutting machine etc. The mining shall be further depth in the existing pit. The working will be done by forming benches of 3m height as per requirement. The Q.L. area is already developed quarry and there is no O.B. in Q.L. area (O.B. is already mined out previous years of mining), whole of area is exposed marble. No blasting is required. The marble is a building material. The cost of the marble is directly dependent on the size of the block mined. Therefore, it is desired to get the maximum size of the boulders from the rocks. For this special techniques in wet drilling, i.e. by locating the direction and spacing of the joints, is done and the suitable free face is provided. At a time single bench is worked from the safety point. After that the block is lifted from the area with the help of jib crane.

32 i) Marble Excavation Making Gully and Toda: - No Overburden is present in area, now the marketable marble is to be mined out. For this purpose special benches in the area are prepared in the shape of English letter ‘T’. These are known as Gully and Toda. For this, a cut by wire saw is made as the outline of these, or weak zone is developed along the outline with the help of a jackhammer.

Block Mining :- After this job is done, the visible blockable area, known as Thadi, many huge chunk of marble, known as Phada of full depth will be mined out. This Phada is detached from the mine by the wedge technique. iii) Making of Block :- Once the stoner has been freed from all six sides, it is topped down for making smaller pieces with the help of jacks and then marked for the required sizing. Then these blocks are made with the help of jackhammer and wedge technique.

After this, the blocks are lifted with the help of a 30 tonnes jib crane and are loaded into the trucks for transportation. Blasting: There is no O.B. in Q.L. area (O.B. is already mined out previous years of mining), whole of area is exposed marble. The mineralized marble cutting blocks with wire saw. In this view of the above. It is proposed to carry out the work of excavation without blasting.

Four types of soil have been reported in the district viz, clay, clay loam, sandy loam and sandy soil. The general texture of the soil in the area is sandy loam to clayey loam which is further classified into “Barani” or unirrigated and “Chahi” or 36

irrigated soil. A part of Nagaur tehsil and south-eastern part of Merta tehsil has deep sandy loam, where red loamy soil exists elsewhere in the Merta tehsil except on the banks of river Luni, light loamy soil occurs in Parbatsar tehsils away from hill ranges. A longitudinal belt from Didwana to Nawa extending up to Sambhar Lake has the characteristics of alkaline soil. (Source: - District Groundwater Brochure, 2009, Central Ground Water Board, Nagaur, Rajasthan). 4.7 Climate Data from Secondary Sources The district experiences arid to semi-arid type of climate. Mean annual rainfall (1971-2005) of the district is 410mm, whereas normal rainfall (1901-1970) is lower than average rainfall and placed at 363.1 mm. It is obvious that there is significant increase in rainfall during the last 30 years. The rainy days are limited to maximum of 15 days in a year. Almost 80% of the total annual rainfall is received during the southwest monsoon. The probability of occurrence of mean annual rainfall is 38%. Based on agricultural criteria which indicate the district is prone to mild and normal type of drought. Occurrence of severe and very severe type of drought is very rare. There is not much variation in distribution of rainfall. However, the southern part of the district gets slightly more rainfall than northern part. The mean annual rainfall is lowest at Didwana (347.8mm), which lies in northern part of the district, whereas the mean annual rainfall is highest at Degana (471.9mm) which lies in southern part of the district. Seasonal Distribution : The rainfall in the district is highly seasonal. More than 90% of the total annual rainfall is received during the south – west monsoon season. The monsoon enters the district in the first week of July and withdraws by the middle of September. July is followed by August with monthly normal rainfall of 120.8mm. As the district lies in the desert area, extreme heat in summer and cold in winter is the characteristic of the desert. Both day and night temperature increases gradually and reaches at their maximum in May and June respectively. The temperature varies from 46 degree in summer to 7 degree in winter. The winter starts by middle of November and lasts till February. Atmosphere is generally dry except during the monsoon period. The humidity is

highest in August with mean daily relative humidity of 80%. The annual maximum potential evapo transpiration in the district is quite high and it is highest (255.1 mm) in the month of May and lowest (76.5 mm) in the month of December.
