2.2 Brief description of nature of the project The mining lease area is 1.0 ha. in Khatipura, Tehsil- Khetri, District - Jhunjhunu (Rajasthan) with proposed annual production capacity of 1,07,335T (ROM) by o pencast mining followed by drilling and Blasting method .

2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region The said project plays a significant role in the construction a chieving a huge infrastructure as being envisaged by Government of India particularly in road basic building materials . The mining activities as proposed are the backbone of all construction and infrastructure projects as the raw material for construction is available only from such mining.

2.4 Demands-Supply Gap There is large demand of Masonry Stone (Cheja Patthar) to the nearby markets and stone crusher units. The crushed material of stone crus her units is us ed in infrastructure projects . This mineral is also used as masonry stone in infrastructure. Presently, maximum infrastructure projects are in operation hence this pro ject will be viable.

Vardan Environet, Gurgaon 21

2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production Indigenous Production : The demand for Masonry Stone (Cheja Patthar ) is ever growing. The mineral is used in infrastr ucture sector as masonry stone. Therefore the re is always a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market. Export Market : The re is no poss ibility of export of masonry stone from this lease area.

2.6 Export Possibility There is no proposal to export the Masonry Stone (Cheja Patthar).

2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets A) Domestic Market The Stone along excavated will be directly sold to nearby villages in Tehsil - Khetri and may furthe r transported to Stone Crus her Zone. B) Export Market There is no pos sibility of export of masonry stone from this lease area.

2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and indirect) due to the project Project will create direct & indirect employment within the surrounding region. Unit will use good faith efforts to employ local people from nearby villages depending upon the availability of skilled and unskilled man -power surrounding the project site. In operational phase , the proposed expansion required 50 skilled, 37 unskilled persons. In addition to that functions like supply of explosive preparation and amendment of plans etc. will also require professionals. This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society.

9.2 Temporary Storage, Utilization of topsoil and Reclamation of land affected

No Separate soil is located on proposed mining site.

Vardan Environet, Gurgaon 34

The soil may come across is very thin layer in small patc hes. It is proposed to scrape the soil and stacked separately to be used for plantation . The restoration and reclamation is not proposed in this Mine Plan as the life of M ine may increase at the end of 10 years by excavation of stone and its continuity in depth. The reclamation and restoration proposals will be provide at the time of end of the mining in this lease area.

9.3 Air Pollution Control Sharp drill bits are used and the drilling machine is kept leakage proof Dust extractor will be provided in drill machine. Controlled blasting is proposed only on hire requirement after taking the permission from DGMS and the othe r local authorities. Water Sprinklers provided over haul ro ad to control the fly of dust. All the haul roads will be kept wide, leveled and compact. If dust exceed than permissible level water Sprinklers shoul be done on approach road from tar road once in a day during peak transpiration time. The proposed plantation along both sides of haul road from tar road will also c heck the spread of dust in near by area. The loading of stone will be in form of lumps thus dust will not create. 9.4 Water Pollution Control 9.4.1 Surface & Ground Water Manageme nt The re is no surface water body within the mining lease area. Thus, there is no localized /concentrated contamination of water from the mining in area. The proposed working are far above the general ground water table. No toxic minerals substances and tailing pond located in the area. Thus quality of ground water will not pollute.

The mining does not have any impact on topography and natural drainage of surrounding area.

9.4.2 Waste Water Management

No waste water is generated from the mining activity of minerals as the project only involves lifting of stone .

Vardan Environet, Gurgaon 35

9.4.3 Domestic Sewage Water Management Domestic sewage water will be disposed in soak pits via septic tank 9.5 Noise Pollution Control The adequate silrncers will be provided in diesel operated mine machineries including trucks and tractors. Compact and leveled haul road are proposed for smooth running of transport vehicles. The transport vehicles should be filled up to rated capa city of the vehicle to mininmize the noise. The shrubs and bus He s located in the area and proposed plantation will c Heck the propagation of noise. The approach roads will kept wide and smooth.
