~ District Collector, Chandrapur PREFACE

The Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India, made Environmental Clearance (EC) for mining of minerals mandatory through its Notification of 27th January, 1994 under the provisions of Environment Protection Act, 1986. Keeping in view the experience gained in environmental clearance process over a period of one decade, the MoEF&CC came out with Environmental Impact Notification, SO 1533 (E), dated 14th September 2006. Now again Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India amended the notification S.O. 141(E) Dated 15th January, 2016 vide S.O. 3611(E) Dated 25th July, 2018. It has been made mandatory to obtain environmental clearance for different kinds of development projects as listed in Appendix-X of the Notification.

Further, In pursuance to the order of 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, in the matter of Deepak Kumar etc. Vs. State of and Others etc., prior environmental clearance has now become mandatory for mining of minor minerals irrespective of the area of mining lease; And also in view of the Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, 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, The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in consultation with State governments has prepared Guidelines on Sustainable Sand Mining detailing the provisions on environmental clearance for cluster, creation of District Environment Impact Assessment Authority and proper monitoring of minor mineral mining using information technology and information technology enabled services to track the mined out material from source to destination.

The DEIAA and DEAC will scrutinize and recommend the prior environmental clearance of mining of minor minerals on the basis of District Survey Report. This will a model and guiding document which is a compendium of available mineral resources, geographical set up, environmental and ecological set up of the district and replenishment of minerals and is based on data of various departments, published reports, journals and websites. The District Survey Report will form the basis for application for environmental clearance, preparation of reports and appraisal of projects. OBJECTIVES

The main objective of the preparation of District Survey Report (as per the Sustainable Sand Mining Guideline) is to ensure the following –

° Identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and ° Identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. ° Identification of mineral wealth in the district.

District Survey Report – Chandrapur CHPATER -1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

The Chandrapur district is located in lies in the Eastern part of the state of Maharastra. The Chandrapur city (main city of headquarters also known as black gold city) Geographically, Chandrapur district is surrounded by districts , & to the North, Yawatmal to the West, district to the East and districts of to the south towards South.

Chandrapur district is known for its super thermal power station, and its vast reserves of in Valley Coalfield. Chandrapur also has large reservoirs of limestone which is a raw material for cement manufacturing in the district. Tadoba National Park in the district is one of India's twenty-eight Project reserves. The 2015 census of found that 120 of Maharashtra's 170 tigers were located in Chandrapur district. 1.2 Historical Perspective

The district earlier known as Chanda and now Chandrapur is shrouded in mystery. Tradition and legends tell that the name of this place was Lokapura, which was first changed to Indapur and subsequently to Chandrapur. During the period of the , Chandrapur came to be called as Chanda, which was again changed to its original name Chandrapur around 1964. Other places of the region in ancient times include Wairagad, Kosala, Bhadravati and Markanda. Hindu and Buddhist kings are said to have ruled the area for a long time. Later on, Mana chiefs who ruled the Chandrapur were overtaken by Gonds around 9th century. Gond kings ruled the area till 1751 when period started. Raghuji Bhosale, the last king of the dynasty, died heirless in 1853 and Nagpur province together with Chandrapur was declared annexed to the British Empire.

In 1854, Chandrapur formed an independent district. In 1874, however, upper Godavari district of Madras was abolished and four tahsils were added to Chandrapur District to form one tahsil with as its headquarters. In 1895, the headquarters of the tahsil was transferred from village Mul to Chandrapur. 1905 witnessed the creation of a new tahsil with headquarters at Gadchiroli by transfer of Zamindari estates from Brahmapuri and Chandrapur tashils. A small zamindari tract from Chandrapur district was transferred to newly form district in 1907. In the same year an area of about 1560 km2 comprising of three divisions of the lower Sironcha tahsil namely Cherla, Albak and Nugur were transferred to Madras State.

There was no major change in the boundaries of the district or the Tahsils between 1911 and 1955. Consequent upon the reorganization of state in 1956, the district was transferred from to Bombay State. In the same year Tehsil, a part of of Hyderabad state, was transferred to district. Subsequently it was transferred to Chandrapur district in 1959. The district became part of state of Maharashtra since its creation in May 1960. After 1981 Census Chandrapur district was divided into Chandrapur and for administrative convenience comprising ten Tehsils.

The soil of the district is well defined and conductive for growing crops of various kinds. The most fertile soils are found in the Wardha and Wainganga valleys. The numerous varieties of soils known by many local names they are grouped under the following representative classes. The soil conditions along Wardha-Painganga valleys are rich with black regur loams and clay loams along the river bed. These soils locally known as soils are very productive and suitable for Rabi crops due to high moisture retention capacity. However water logging is very common during monsoon and is therefore not suitable for Khariff crops.

District Survey Report – Chandrapur CHPATER -2 OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT

2.1 General Information:

Chandrapur District has been endowed with various valuable mineral resources. The important minerals found in the district are coal, Iron and limestone.

Chandrapur has an abundance of mineral resources. Coal is a major resource found in the basin. Coal is mined in , Ballarpur and Majri in Chandrapur taluka, Rajura, Sashti and Warora in Bhadravati talukas. Iron ore is found in Pimpalgaon, Bhisi and Asola (Gunjevahi) in Chimur taluka and Ratnapur and Lohar Dongri in Brahmapuri taluka. Limestone is found mainly in Korpana taluka. Limestone stretches are also found in many places in Rajura taluka. There are approximately 1026 million tons of limestone deposits found in the district. Majority of the copper deposits in the State are in this district. Some mineral deposits like granite, sandstone, jambha (red, porous stone) are also found in few parts of Chandrapur district.

2.2 Approach to Sand Mining:

River sand mining is a common practice as habitation concentrates along the rivers and the mining locations are preferred near the markets or along the transportation route, for reducing the transportation cost. River sand mining can damage private and public properties as well as aquatic habitats. Excessive removal of sand may significantly distort the natural equilibrium of a stream channel.

Mainly three types of minor minerals constituents such as sand, stone and Bajri are required for any type of construction apart from other material like cement and steel.

In earlier times, the houses/buildings were constructed in form of small dwellings with walls made up of mud plaster, stone and interlocking provided with wooden frames and there were negligible commercial as well as developmental activities resulting in less demand of building material. However with the passage of time, new vistas of developmental activities were started. The quantity of minor minerals consumption in a particular area is a thermometer to assess the development of the area. Thus with the pace of development activities, the consumption of minor minerals also increased. As such the demand of minor minerals in the district has started an increasing trend. In order to meet the requirement of raw material for construction, the extraction of sand is being carried out exclusively from the river beds. In Chandrapur district, the demand of sand (river borne collection) and of Bajri/Grit (river borne collection or through manufactured grit by stone crushers) is mainly met by the supply from Wainganga, Wardha, Uma, Erai, Andhari and Penganga river beds.

2.3 Main Objectives of Sustainable Sand Mining:

• To ensure that sand and gravel mining is done in environmentally sustainable and socially responsible manner. • To ensure availability of adequate quantity of aggregate in sustainable manner. • To improve the effectiveness of monitoring of mining and transportation of mined out material. • Ensure conservation of the river equilibrium and its natural environment by protection and restoration of the ecological system. • Avoid aggradations at the downstream reach especially those with hydraulic structures such as jetties, water intakes etc. • Ensure that the rivers are protected from bank and bed erosion beyond its stable profile.

District Survey Report -2020 9

District Survey Report – Chandrapur • No obstruction to the river flow, water transport and restoring the riparian rights and in stream habitats. • Avoid pollution of river water leading to water quality deterioration. • To prevent depletion of ground water reserves due to excessive draining out of ground water. • To prevent ground water pollution by prohibiting sand mining on fissures where it works as filter prior to ground water recharge. • To maintain the river equilibrium with the application of sediment transport principles in determining the locations, period and quantity to be extracted. • Streamlining and simplifying the process for grant of environmental clearance (EC) for sustainable mining.

PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS OF THE DISTRICT Sediment refers to the conglomerate of materials, organic and inorganic, that can be carried away by water, wind or ice. While the term is often used to indicate soil-based, mineral matter (e.g. clay, silt and sand), decomposing organic substances and inorganic biogenic material are also considered sediment. Most mineral sediment comes from erosion and weathering, while organic sediment is typically detritus and decomposing material such as algae. Sediment particles come in different sizes and can be inorganic or organic in origin. These particulates are typically small, with clay defined as particles less than 0.00195 mm in diameter, and coarse sand reaching up only to 1.5 mm in diameter. However, during a flood or other high flow event, even large rocks can be classified as sediment as they are carried downstream. Sediment is a naturally occurring element in many bodies of water, though it can be influenced by anthropogenic factors.

In an aquatic environment, sediment can either be suspended (floating in the water column) or bedded (settled on the bottom of a body of water). In other words, waterflow tries to scour its surface whenever it flows in the channel. Silt or gravels even larger boulders are detached from its bed or banks. The moving water sweeps these detached particles in downstream along its flow. Silting and scouring is not very uncommon and must be avoided by proper designs. It reduces supply level of water. The channel section gets reduced by silt and reduces discharging capacity. Sediments seriously threaten various projects due to silt carried out by rivers up to point of interceptions. Sediment is also threatening denudation of forests. Sediment is a major obstruction on the flow line. It shortens longevity of channel. It causes soil erosion. Therefore data base must be needed for policy making and planning.

The mineral potential is calculated based on field investigation and geology of the catchment area of the river/ streams. As per the policy of the State and location, depth of minable mineral is defined. The area for removal of mineral in a river or stream can be decided depending on geomorphology and other factors, it can be 50% to 60% of the area of a particular river/stream, e.g. in river mineral constituents like sand up to a depth of three meter are considered as resource mineral. Other constituents like clay and silt are excluded as waste while calculating the mineral potential of particular river/ stream.

The specific gravity of each mineral constituent is different. The percent of mineral constituent like boulder, river Bajri, and sand also varies for different river and streams. While calculating the mineral potential, the percentage of each mineral constituent is taken as 25-30% for sand and 5-10% for silt and clay.

The quantum of deposition varies from stream to stream depending upon factors like catchment lithology, discharge, river profile and geomorphology of the river course. There are certain geo-morphological features developed in the river beds such as channel bar, point bar etc where annual deposition is more even two to three meters.

6.1 Process of Deposition

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particles. Sediments are most often transported by water. Sediment is transported based on the strength of the flow that carries it and its own size, volume, density, and shape. Stronger flows will increase the lift

District Survey Report -2020 19

District Survey Report – Chandrapur

and drag on the particle, causing it to rise, while larger or denser particles will be more likely to fall through the flow.

Deposition is the processes where material being transported by a river is deposited. Deposition occurs when a river loses energy. This can be when a river enters a shallow area (this could be when it floods and comes into contact with the flood plain) or towards its mouth where it meets another body of water.

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, and water, as well as sediment flowing via gravity, transport previously eroded sediment, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.

Rivers flood on a regular basis. The area over which they flood is known as the floodplain and

this often coincides with regions where Figure 7: Formation of Natural Levees Due to form. Meanders support the formation of flood Floods plains through lateral erosion.

When river floods the velocity of water slows. As the result of this the river's capacity to transport material is reduced and deposition occurs. This deposition leaves a layer of sediment across the whole floodplain. After a series of floods, layers of sediment form along the floodplain.

6.2 Modes of Sediment Transport

The sediment load of a river is transported in various ways although these distinctions are to some extent arbitrary and not always very practical in the sense that not all of the components can be separated in practice:

V Dissolved load V Suspended load V Intermittent suspension (saltation) load V Wash load V Bed load

The sand deposits being an integral part of the dynamic river system to which it belongs. Therefore, as a part of natural cycle, the monsoon flow of every river carries with it replenishment of silt and washed out

District Survey Report -2020 20

District Survey Report – Chandrapur

soil and clay from upstream areas in the catchment. This silt shall be removed during the sieving of sand before it is loaded into truck/tipper/trailer to carry to the consumers.

Sand mining is critical to infrastructure development around the globe. Sand is an essential minor mineral used extensively across the country as a useful construction constituent and variety of other uses in sports, agriculture, glass making (a form of sand with high silica content) etc. The rivers are the most important source of Sand. It acts as source of transportation and deposition of sand etc.

6.3 Annual Replenishment of Mineral in River Bed Area/ Sedimentation

The deposition in a river bed is more pronounced during rainy season although the quantum of deposition varies from stream to stream depending upon numbers of factors such as catchment, lithology, discharge, river profile and geomorphology of the river course where annual deposition is one meters, but it is noticed that during flood season whole of the pit so excavated is completely filled up and as such the excavated area is replenished with new harvest of minerals.

In order to calculate the mineral deposits in the stream beds, the mineral constituents have been categorized as clay, silt, sand, Bajri and boulder. However, during present calculation, the waste material i.e. silt which varies from 10 to 20% in different streams has also been included in the total production. Further, the Survey of India Topo-Sheets has been used as base map to know the extent of river course. The mineral reserves have been calculated only upto 1.00 meter depth although there are some portions in the river beds such as channel bars, point bars and central islands where the annual deposition is raising the level of river bed thus causing shifting of the rivers towards banks resulting in to cutting of banks and at such locations, removal of this material upto the bed level is essential to control the river flow in its central part to check the bank cutting. While calculating the mineral potentials, the mineral deposits lying in the sub-tributaries of that particular stream/river has not been taken into consideration. Since these mineral deposits are adding annually.

Sedimentation is generally considered by geologists in terms of the textures, structures, and fossil content of the deposits lay down in different geographic and geomorphic environments. The factors which affects the “Computation of Sediment”:

‹ Geomorphology & Drainage Pattern: The following geomorphic units plays important role: ° Structural Plain ° Structural Hill ° Structural Ridge ° Denudation Ridge & Valley ° Plain & Plateau ° Highly Dissected pediment ° Undissected pediment

‹ Distribution of Basin Area River wise ‹ Drainage System/Pattern of the area, Rainfall & Climate: Year wise Rainfall data

REPLENISHMENT STUDY

The need for replenishment study for river bed sand is required in order to nullify the adverse impacts arising due to excess sand extraction. Mining within or near riverbed has a direct impact on the stream's physical characteristics, such as channel geometry, bed elevation, substratum composition and stability, in-stream roughness of the bed, flow velocity, discharge capacity, sediment transport capacity, turbidity, temperature etc. Alteration or modification of the above attributes may cause an impact on the ecological

equilibrium of the riverside regime, disturbance in channel configuration and flow-paths. This may also cause an adverse impact on in stream biota and riparian habitats.

The effects of sediment replenishment are investigated for cross section bed deposition, flow velocity, grain size distribution, water quality and organisms.

METHODOLOGY ADOPTED FOR REPLENISHMENT STUDY:

The methodology adopted for the study is an integrated approach involving:

1. Field data collection followed by cross section survey over the sections of fixed intervals along the river showing river bed material (RBM) with present elevations.

2. Remote sensing was used for identification of watershed area relevant to the mine lease along the river at different coordinates. The data was used is from the latest satellite imagery of CARTOSAT – 1 of ISRO having a grid of 30 metres and SRTM, NASA at grid of 80 metres and computer aided drainage analysis system.

3. Estimation of catchment yield and bed load transport: The catchment yield has been computed using the Strange’s runoff method for the runoff coefficient. The Iso-pluvial maps of IMD have been used for estimation of catchment yield and peak flood discharge for the study area by various methods like Dickens, Jarvis, and Rational formula at 25, 50 and 100 years return period.

HYDROLOGY

Waingangā River:

The catchment of Wainganga upto Gosikhurd has been divided into four sub-catchments viz., Pench, Kanhan, Bagh and Wainganga for the purpose of hydrological studies. As month wise u/s utilizations are not available at required level of reliability, the monsoon rainfall – run off equations only are used in the present hydrological analysis.

The Wainganga is one of the northern tributaries of the river Godavari in its middle reaches. The River sub-basin lies between latitudes 180 48' N and 220 43' N and longitudes 780 03' E and 800 53' E. The river Wainganga rise at an altitude of about 640 m in of Madhya Pradesh flows east for a short distance and then south for a length of about 274 km in the Seoni and Balaghat districts of Madhya Pradesh and then traversing a distance of about 334 km in Maharashtra before the tributary Wardha joins it. The catchment area of the Wainganaga River in Chandrapur is 337 sq.km and average annual Runoff 937mm.

Climate

There is no IMD meteorological station near the study area, the nearest stations being at Nagpur, which are about 30 km from center of the study area. However, the climatic conditions are not much different than recorded at Nagpur.

The climate of the district is characterized by a hot summer and a general dryness throughout the year except during the southwest monsoon season, which is from June to September while October and November constitute the post monsoon season. The winter season commences towards the end of November when temperatures begin to fall rapidly. December is the coldest month, with a minimum average temperature of 9 °C and a maximum average temperature of 23.2 °C. May is the hottest month

District Survey Report – Chandrapur

with a mean maximum temperature of 43 °C and a mean minimum temperature of 28.2 °C. The monsoon season comes between June and September. Chandrapur average annual rainfall is 1249.4 mm.

Temperature

Chandrapur has extreme climatic situations. It is characterized by warm and humid climate in June – October and later on there is a gradual decline in the temperature from October onwards and December happens to be a coolest month of the year. The average maximum and minimum temperature of the district is 47.7 ˚C and 7.1˚C respectively.

Rainfall

The district falls in assured rainfall zone and receives 80% of the total rainfall during June to October. The average rainfall of the district is 1130.96 mm over 52-55 rainy days.

C). IIIrd Stage:

The third survey needs to be carried out after the monsoon period to know the quantum of material deposited/replenished in the mining lease.

After the closing of the mine or excavation of bed material, we measured the increased level after the deposition of sand followed by the post-monsoon at the different points along the river with the coordinates and the measuring the elevation and depth with the help of the GPS and meter stick, respectively. That’s how we estimated the details about the volume of mineral deposited in the river after the monsoon.

Geologically, a Chandrapur district presents a variety of statigraphic unit’s right from Achaeans to recent alluvium and Laterite. The district is gifted with deposits of various minerals like coal, iron. Geological sequence of formations is as follows:

Table 18: List of Geological Sequence of Formations Age Formation Rock Types Recent to Sub-recent Alluvium, Soils Laterite Sand, Clay, Silt, Soils & Laterite Lower Eocene to Deccan Traps Basalts, Weathered, vesicular upper cretaceous massive basalts Triassic Upper group maleri Clay, Shale, Sandstones Lower Triassic to Lower Gondwana group : Upper Carboniferous Kamthi Barakar Reddish Brown Sandstone Shale Clay. Talkie Light grey to white felspathic sandstones, coal seams & Clay Greenish to dark olive green colored shale & coarse grained sandstones. Pre- Cambrian Vindhyan Shale, Sandstones, flaggy & massive limestone & sandstones of variegated colors Achaean Crystalline & older metamorphic Gneisses, quartzites, schist’s with acid & basic intrusive.

A brief Description of each of the important geological formations commencing from the most ancient rocks is given below.

Achaeans:

The Achaeans comprise gneisses, quartzites, banded hematite quartzite’s, schist’s with basic intrusive like pyroxenites, amphibolites etc. The rocks are intruded by several dykes, trending NE-SE, are exposed in the eastern part of Chandrapur district. The dykes are highly shared. The Achaean formations occupy 31.21% of the total area. The Achaeans are the oldest rock which are metamorphosed they are comprised rocks called the older schist or unclassified crystalline which are overlain by the metamorphosed sedimentary rocks of Dharwar System and intrusive rocks of the Dharwar such as granites etc. The unclassified crystalline includes Gneisses etc. The sedimentary Dharwarian rocks are further divided into three groups namely, series, Series, Iron Ore Series. Iron Ore series: Iron Ore series and Sakoli Series are equivalent in age. Iron ore series constitutes the important iron deposits of Chandrapur District. The rocks are Quartzite’s, Banded Hematite, Quartzite Schist, Phyllites etc. The rocks and associated iron ore occurs in Bramhapuri and Warora Tahsils of the Chandrapur District. The Dharwar have been intruded on a very large scale and have been occupied by Granites, Granitoid, and Gneisses.

District Survey Report -2020 51

District Survey Report – Chandrapur

Vindhyan:

The Vindhyans are represented mainly by flaggy and massive limestones, shale's and sandstones. The lenticular patches of breccia with angular fragments cemented by calcareous matrix are found at places in limestones. Limestone is dolomitic at places. Sandstones and quartzite’s are hard compact and forms ridges. The limestones occupy an extensive area in Rajura and Chimur tahsil. The Vindhyans overlie Achaeans basement with well defined unconformity. The area occupied by Vindhyans in the district is 23% of total area of district.

Precambrian:

Cuddappah System: The Cuddappah rocks which are mainly crystalline- limestone, According to some geologist the limestone beds associated with sand stones located in Warora are also to be included in the Cuddappah System.

Vindhyan System: A vast area in the district is occupied by the limestone, Dolomites, Limestone, Purple shells and sand stones. The area includes Worora, Brahmapuri of Chandrapur District. The limestone and Dolomites are suitable for the cement Manufacturer and as flux in metallurgy respectively.

Gondwana system: The older rocks, The Achaeans and the Precambrian form the basin for the deposition of rocks of Gondwana System.

Lower Gondwana : This include the formation deposited in a glacial period and group of lower Gondwana rocks , includes hard quartzite , Sandstones , Grits and Conglomerates and is called Mangli bed . The bed is located in Warora Tehsil.

Lameta beds: These are infra-Trappe a beds are comprises sandstone often calcareous and charty lime stones and clays. The Lameta beds are located at various places along fringes of Deccan trap. They also cover Gondwana rocks as seen in the coalfield near Warora.

Deccan Traps:

The Deccan trap lava formation cover the major portion of the state, but occupies very small part of the District. At the close of Mesozoic Era, major portion of the state was covered by a sub-aerial Deccan Trap lava close which spread in the form of nearly horizontal beds. Irregularities are getting filled up by the earlier flows. The thickness is very less and is about 40 meters near Bothali village in Warora Tehsil.

The trap commonly shows following types:

The compact and harder flows often characterized by vertical Prismatic or Columnar

11.8 Methodology Adopted for Calculating of Mineral Potential:-

The mineral potential is calculated based on field investigation and geology of the catchment area of the river/ streams. As per the policy of the State and location, depth of minable mineral is defined. The area for removal of mineral in a river or stream can be decided depending on geomorphology and other factors, it can be 50% to 60% of the area of a particular river/stream. Other constituents like clay and silt are excluded as waste while calculating the mineral potential of particular river/ stream.

The specific gravity of each mineral constituent is different. While calculating the mineral potential, the average specific gravity is taken as 2.25. The percent of mineral constituent like boulder, river Bajri, and sand also varies for different river and streams. While calculating mineral potential, the percentage for each mineral constituent is 25-30% for sand and 5-10% for silt and clay.

The quantum of deposition varies from stream to stream depending upon factors like catchment lithology, discharge, river profile and geomorphology of the river course. There are certain geo-morphological features developed in the river beds such as channel bar, point bar etc. where annual deposition is more even two to three meters.

A significant majority of the production area in Chandrapur has been dominated by paddy and soybean over the last 5 years. The deep black soil coupled with the humid weather in Chandrapur is most favorable for paddy farming and the superior quality of paddy produce attracts a large number of buyers. There are 2 big units for soya processing in Chandrapur and this has contributed to soybean’s popularity among the district’s farmers. However, the yield for soybean crop is notably vulnerable to inconsistent rainfall and this has made some of the farmers wary. Due to this the production area for soybean is being replaced by cash crops that have a more stable yield profile. This has also contributed to cotton’s meteoric rise in the district. Intercropping is a common practice among cotton farmers in the district and red gram is a popular choice for this purpose. This has primarily driven the increase in production area for red gram over the last 5 years. The area for Bengal gram has remained consistent for the most part and it is usually taken as a second crop during the Rabi season.

Vegetables are already grown in Chandrapur, particularly in the high rainfall areas. More popular vegetables grown are Brinjal, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Okra. The collective area under these four vegetable types, at 21,326 Ha, is negligible at 0.4% of total cropped area in the district. However, vegetable production in the region itself is small but Chandrapur happens to be a key vegetable provider for the Nagpur market. At the moment a bulk of irrigated area as well as area under high and very high rainfall is used for rice farming; and soybean farming in some cases. But, a systematic realignment to increase vegetables area holds potential. Hyderabad, which is also in close proximity to Chandrapur, is a significant market potential that could be tapped for vegetables. Other opportunities can come from cultivating vegetables for export purposes, including through use of poly houses and shadenets.

Wardha, Wainganga and Penganga are the important rivers in Chandrapur district. The Wardha River flows into the district from the western boundary and then flows along the boundaries of Warora, Chandrapur, Korapna, Rajura, Ballarpur and Gondpipri Taluka. Penganga and Irai rivers meet the Wardha River. The confluence of the Wardha and Penganga rivers is near Wardha town. The Wainganga flows along the eastern boundary of the district. This river flows from north to south. The confluence of the Wardha and the Wainganga rivers is near Shivani. Andhari and Mul (Uma) are two other rivers in the district.

District Survey Report -2020 75

District Survey Report – Chandrapur

The larger lakes in the district are Asola mendha, Kasarla, Tadoba, Naleshwar, and Gadmousi. There are bunds at Uma, Andhari, Thargaon, and Dongargaon. There are only medium size dams at Asolamendha in Savli taluka, Naleshwar in Sindewahi Taluka, Ghodazari in Nagbhir Taluka, Chargaon, Chandainala and Labhan Sarad in Warora Taluka and Amalnalain and Pakadegudum in Korapna Taluka. Canals and other facilities are also used for water supply. Small bunds are built to store water on the farms. These are called bodies.

The drinking water supply projects in Chandrapur district includes 203 pipeline schemes, 171 tube wells, 4078 wells and 4514 Bore well/ Hand pumps in the entire district. Besides, the Municipal councils in Chandrapur district are depending on the following drinking water sources:

V Chandrapur Municipal council : Erai Dam V Rajura Municipal council : Intake well at Kopangaon Nalla V Mul Municipal council : Wainganga river V Bramhapuri Municipal council : Borewell V Bhadravati Municipal council : Wardha river V Warora Municipal council : Wardha river

b) Ground Water Quality:

CGWB is monitoring the ground water quality of the district since the last four decades through its established monitoring wells. The objectives behind the monitoring are to develop an overall picture of the ground water quality of the district. During the year 2010, the Board has carried out the ground water quality monitoring of 22 monitoring wells. These wells mainly consist of the dug wells representing the shallow aquifer. The sampling of ground water from these wells was carried out in the month of May 2010 (pre-monsoon period). The water samples after collection were immediately subjected for the analysis of various parameters in the Regional Chemical Laboratory of the Board at Nagpur. The parameters analyzed, include pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Hardness (TH), Nitrate (NO3) and Fluoride (F). The sample collection, preservation, storage, transportation and analysis were carried out as per the standard methods given in the manual of American Public Health Association for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (APHA, 1998). The ground water quality data thus generated was first checked for completeness and then the validation of data was carried out using standard checks. Subsequently, the interpretation of data was carried out to develop the overall picture of ground water quality in the district in the year 2010.

c) Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking Purpose:

The suitability of ground water for drinking purpose is determined keeping in view the effects of various chemical constituents in water on the biological system of human being. Though many ions are very essential for the growth of human, but when present in excess, can have an adverse effect on human body.

District Survey Report – Chandrapur CHAPTER 16

USE OF MINERAL

Gitti/ building stone: Aggregates – stone used for its strong physical properties – crushed and sorted into various sizes for use in concrete, coated with bitumen to make asphalt or used 'dry' as bulk fill in construction. Mostly used in roads, concrete and building products.

Murum: Murum is mostly used for construction purposes. Generally, it is deep brown or red in color. Moorum is used in plinth filling, road pavements, backfilling in trenches, footing pits etc. It is a suitable type of soil in the construction field, since it does not contain any organic matters and can be compacted easily forming hard surfaces.

Ordinary Clay: Clay is used for making pottery, both utilitarian and decorative, and construction products, such as bricks, wall and floor tiles. Different types of clay, when used with different minerals and firing conditions, are used to produce earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain.

Ordinary sand: Sand is not for manufacturing concrete, but it is the ideal material for asphalt mix. It is commonly used to fix and level roads, and lay bedding for a variety of uses. This is in contrast with our three other main construction sand products, which are mainly used for building applications.

Quartz and Quartzite: The strong quartz hardness makes it more difficult than most other natural substances. It is therefore an excellent abrasive material. Used for sand blasting, scouring cleaners, grinding media, and grit for sanding and sawing, quartz sands and finely ground silica sand. In the manufacture of rubber, paint, and putty, quartz sand is used as filler. Carefully screened and cleaned quartz grains are used as filter media and granules for roofing. In the railroad and mining industries, quartz sands are used for traction. Quartzite is a decorative stone and may be used to cover walls, as roofing tiles, as flooring, and stairsteps. Its use for countertops in kitchens is expanding rapidly. It is harder and more resistant to stains than granite. Crushed quartzite is sometimes used in road construction

Shale: It has many commercial uses. It is a source material in the ceramics industry to make brick, tile, and pottery. Shale used to make pottery and building materials requires little processing besides crushing and mixing with water. Shale is crushed and heated with limestone to make cement for the construction industry.

Dolomite: Dolomite as a mineral has very few uses. However, dolostone has an enormous number of uses because it occurs in deposits that are large enough to mine. The most common use for dolostone is in the construction industry. It is crushed and sized for use as a road base material, an aggregate in concrete and asphalt, railroad ballast, rip-rap, or fill. It is also calcined in the production of cement and cut into blocks of specific size known as "dimension stone." Dolomite's reaction with acid also makes it useful. It is used for acid neutralization in the chemical industry, in stream restoration projects, and as a soil conditioner. Dolomite is used as a source of magnesia (MgO), a feed additive for livestock, a sintering agent and flux in metal processing, and as an ingredient in the production of glass, bricks, and ceramics. Dolomite serves as the host rock for many lead, zinc, and copper deposits. These deposits form when hot, acidic hydrothermal solutions move upward from depth through a fracture system that encounters a dolomitic rock unit. These solutions react with the dolomite, which causes a drop in pH that triggers the precipitation of metals from solution.

District Survey Report -2020 98

District Survey Report – Chandrapur

Dolomite also serves as an oil and gas reservoir rock. During the conversion of calcite to dolomite, a volume reduction occurs. This can produce pore spaces in the rock that can be filled with oil or natural gas that migrate in as they are released from other rock units. This makes the dolomite a reservoir rock and a target of oil and gas drilling.

Laterite: Major and sub-base materials for the construction of most highways and walls of residential houses in tropical and sub-tropical countries of the world. Laterite is a building material which can be used in construction from flooring to roof construction. The rising construction cost and drive towards locally available material have fuelled a demand for this product in recent years. In laterite areas where a high level of culture once prevailed, ruins often disclose laterite used as a building stone. Open cisterns, sewers, headwalls, culverts, flagstones, quays, moles, and breakwa- ters of laterite have functioned successfully for hundreds of years and laterite is also used in ceramic industries.

DETAILS OF ECO-SENSITIVE AREA, IF ANY, IN THE DISTRICT

Maharashtra's oldest and largest National Park, the "Tadoba National Park", also known as the "Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve" is one of India's 47 reserves existing in India. It lies in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra state and is approximately 150 km from Nagpur city. The total area of the tiger reserve is 1,727 Sq.km, which includes the Tadoba National Park, created in the year 1955. The Andhari Wildlife Sanctuary was formed in the year 1986 and was amalgamated with the park in 1995 to establish the present Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. The word 'Tadoba' is derived from the name of God "Tadoba" or "Taru," which is praised by local tribal people of this region and "Andhari" is derived from the name of Andhari river that flows in this area.

According to the 2010 National Census on Tigers, there are about 43 tigers in the reserve, which is one of the highest in India. Here are some highlights of the park…

The park is open for visitors from 15th October to 30th June every season and remains full-day closed on every Tuesday. The vegetation of Tadoba forest is of Southern tropical dry deciduous type and is spread on around 626 sq. km. Teak is the prominent tree species in the forest and there are a few lakes, which makes sure the park has rich water resources.

Major part of this forest lies in the hilly area, thus many hillocks and terrains provide shelter to the wild animals here. It has a dense forest area, smooth meadows, deep valleys, and a great atmosphere to stabilize more numbers of tigers. The main attraction of the Tadoba National Park is Jungle or Tiger Safari in an open top gypsy.

There is good chance to spot the shy and Wild Dogs. One can find some of the Central India’s best native woodland bird species in this forest.

Accommodation facilities are available and are mainly concentrated among two of its popular entrance gates i.e. Kolara Gate and Mohurli Gate. The Tadoba National Park is divided into three separate forest ranges, i.e. Tadoba north range, Kolsa south range, and Morhurli range, which is sandwiched in between the first two. There are two lakes and one river in the park, which gets filled every monsoon, the ‘Tadoba Lake,’ ‘Kolsa Lake,’ and ‘Tadoba River.’ These lakes and rivers provide vital ingredients needed to sustain the park’s life.

The Tadoba Tiger Reserve is rich in flora and fauna. Some of the famous and wildly seen flora of this park include, Teak, Ain, Bija, Dhauda, Hald, Salai, Semal, Tendu, Beheda, Hirda, Karaya gum, Mahua Madhuca, Arjun, Bamboo, Bheria, Black Plum, and many others. Apart from this the list of animals noted in this part include, Tigers, Indian , Sloth bears, Gaur, Nilgai, Dhole, Striped Hyena, Small Indian Civet, Jungle Cats, Sambar, Spotted Deer, Barking Deer, Chital, Marsh Crocodile, Indian Python, Indian Cobra, Grey-headed Fish Eagle, Crested Serpent Eagle, Peacock, Jewel Beetles, Wolf Spiders, etc.

IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT DUE TO MINING ACTIVITY

Impact on Environment due to mining activities varies based on the quantum of production rate proposed. The different activities involved before & during mining are narrated below, which helps to assess the impact on environment. Population growth, economic development and environmental degradation are interlinked with each- other. The high growth in population speeds-up economic activities. Meanwhile, it also deteriorates environment as for the high level of economic development, plenty of natural resources are exploited. Similarly, mining activities have considerable impacts on environment. Land degradation is one of the significant impacts arising out of mining and quarrying activity which is mainly in the form of alternation of land structure due to excavation, stacking of top soil and loss of land due to dumping of mine waste and overburden soil. Stone and sand quarrying causes damage to property, depletion of ground water, loss of fertile top soil, degradation of forest land, adverse effect on the biodiversity and public health. Mining and quarrying, either open cast or underground, destroys landscape and forest ecosystems. The waste materials that remain after the extraction of usable ores are dumped on the surrounding land, thus causing loss of top soil, nutrients and supportive micro flora and vegetation. Air pollution, due to dust from the mines, is a common environmental problem in mines and quarries especially open cast operations. Stone Mining activities are normally associated with different types of pollution. Air pollution is regarded as the most notable one, where particulate matter (dust) are generated and found in the surrounding areas of such activities. Particles with aerodynamic diameters of less than 50μm (termed Total Suspended Particulate matter, or TSP) can become suspended in the atmosphere, and those with aerodynamic diameters of less than 10μm termed PM10 (inhalable particles) can be transported over long distances, and enter the human respiratory system. Noise pollution is associated with many types of equipment used in mining operations, but blasting is considered the major source. Loud sound disturbed the vegetable nearby the area. It also affects stability of infrastructures, buildings, and homes of people living near to these working sites. In this regard, noise pollution may include noise from vehicle engines, loading and unloading of rock into steel dumpers, chutes, power generation, and other sources. Mining operations impact the environment in several ways, and water pollution is a major concern in such operations. For instance quarry dust can change the chemistry of water resources by dissolving in them, it can also settle in water bodies and cause pollution. Furthermore, these operations disrupt the existing movement of surface water and groundwater; they interrupt natural water recharge and can lead to reduced quantity and quality of drinking water for residents and wildlife near or downstream from a quarry site. The pollution potential of the proposed project, it is possible impacts on the surrounding environment during pre-operational and operational phases and the necessary management actions proposed for control and abatement of pollution are furnished here under.

District Survey Report -2020 114

District Survey Report – Chandrapur

Impact on the some component of the environment is as below:

Air environment: Although mining does not cause any direct change in air environment, transportation etc In stone mining operations, the source of air pollution may cause deterioration of air quality due to the fugitive dust emission during blasting, scooping, loading-unloading operations and transportation. Loading and unloading of mineral would be associated with the fugitive emission in the active area whereas fugitive emission during transportation would affect the areas/villages situated adjacent to road side. Another source of air pollution would be emission from the trucks/tractor/other vehicles to be used for transportation of soil.

Water environment: As far as impact on surface water is concerned, during mining and transportation, there are chances of contamination of surface water resources (pond, well etc.) with dust or by other means. The labourers working in stone mining come from neighboring districts and colonies in the surrounding areas with inadequate facilities for waste disposal. This, in due course, leads to disposal of various things into surface water bodies which in due course of time results into surface water contamination through misuse / mismanagement and decomposition of the trash.

Land environment: There shall be no major impacts of stone mining on land due to rocky terrain having no soil cover generation of top soil shall be nil.Other impacts on land include Disposal of packing material, carried by the workers. This packing material would include used sachet/gutka/pan masala pouches. Polythene bags are used by the workers to bring their foods etc.

Noise environment: As far as noise pollution is concerned, blasting is considered the major source of noise Pollution. The Machinery used in mining of stone mineral creates sound and vibrates. As well as vehicles used for transport, loading-unloading of mineral etc. put impact on noise environment. Noise level in the working environment should be compared with the standards prescribed by Central Pollution. Control Board which has been adopted and enforced by the Govt. of India through The Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000.

Flora and Fauna: The mining is a destructive activity generated by human being for providing strength and security to his living standard. The mining in the concerned zones provides raw materials in the form of crusher, gravels and stones, etc. for construction of roads, railway lines and other infrastructures. From the last few years the mining rate has increased several times. It results in the loss of biodiversity of both flora and fauna and physiographic features of the concerned region.

District Survey Report – Chandrapur CHAPTER 22

REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MINTIGATE THE IMPACT OF MINING ON THE ENVIRONMENT

1.1 Air Environment:

Mitigation Measures a) For Fugitive Dust Emission: ° All trucks should be covered by tarpaulin sheet to prevent dust emission. ° Water spraying should be there in haul road, crusher and mining area. ° Wet drilling should be preferred ° Sharp drill rods should be used to reduce dust generation ° Dust extractor should be used to reduce dust generation b) For Vehicular Emission ° Overloading of trucks and trolleys should be prevented. ° Vehicular emission can pose serious health hazard. During the earth mining extraction, tractor/truck should be used for transportation. Tractor/truck comprises of diesel engine produce particles are dangerously fine of PM10 & PM2.5. It is well known fact that combustion of diesel generates small particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide. ° Ultra low sulphur diesel should be used in vehicle. CPCB prescribed emission Standards for the vehicle would be followed. ° Monitoring of dust fall at land located nearby the mining area.

1.2 Water environment:-

Mitigation measures ° Safeguards will be adopted against health risks on account of breeding of vectors in the water bodies created due to excavation. ° Labourers should not be allowed to through trashes in water bodies. ° Utmost care should be taken to minimize or control oil spills or leakage from vehicles used for soil transportation. ° Water Quality Monitoring for the, ground water should be carried out seasonally to ensure that the water quality is not affected by the project activities. ° The contractor should adhere all guidelines and rules for proper and scientific method of mining during the period of extracting of minerals that the project activities should not have any adverse effect on the physical components of the environment including recharge of ground waters or water quality.

1.3 Land Environment:

Mitigation measures ° Foreign materials like polythene bag, jute bag and useless articles should not be allowed to remain/spill on the land, or no pits/pockets should be allowed to be filled with such material. ° Mining should not exceed beyond the agreed extraction depth. ° Development of thick plants around mining lease areas.

District Survey Report -2020 116

District Survey Report – Chandrapur

1.4 Noise Environment:

Mitigation measures ° Well maintained vehicles should be used in order to reduce the noise during movement of vehicles. ° Regular and proper maintenance of transportation vehicles (trucks, tractor etc.) should be ensured. ° Proper and timely maintenance of machineries ° Major noise generating Equipments like DG set shall be housed.

1.5 Flora and Fauna:

Mitigation measures ° Sediment and erosion control by planting native trees and shrubs to stabilize degraded farming land. ° Regular monitoring of plants and animals on site. ° Salvaging and reusing materials where practical. ° Establishing and maintaining habitat corridors. ° Controlling access to the site to protect habitats.

RECLAMATION ON MINED OUT AREA IN THE DISTRICT (Best practice already implemented in the district, requirement as per rules and regulation, proposed reclamation plan)

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. 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 abandon the stone quarry as per method of approval within time frame prescribed and approved by authority.

District Survey Report -2020 118

District Survey Report – Chandrapur CHAPTER 24

RISK ASSESSMENT & DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

1.1 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 nalas as it is situated a long away from river. The lease hold areas in terms of temporary permits are located in the district of Maharashtra and the area in general receives appreciable amount of rain fall, which is in the range of 848 mm (annual average).

Pit slope & dump slope failures Mining is restricted to an average depth of 18 m from surface levels. No permanent dumps are proposed.

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 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.

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 housekeeping 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.

Explosives No magazine is within lease hold area. Contractual blasting is proposed. 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 interim arrangement until other steps are taken to reduce the risk of personal injury to an acceptable level.

District Survey Report -2020 119

District Survey Report – Chandrapur

1.2 Disaster Management Plan:

The following natural/industrial hazards may occur during normal operation:- ° Inundation of mine pit due to flood/excessive rains; ° Slope failure of pits ° Accident due to explosives; ° Accident due to heavy mining equipment

Mine Disaster Thousands of miners die each year around the globe due to mining accidents, especially from underground coal mining, although hard rock mining is not immune from accidents. Underground mining has considerably less impact than opencast mining on land; it causes enough damage through subsidence. Apart from this, explosive natural gases, especially firedamp, dust explosions, collapsing of mine stones, mining-induced seismicity, flooding, or general mechanical errors from improperly used or malfunctioning mining equipment and improper explosives underground can also cause to catastrophe.

DETAILS OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH (LAST FIVE YEAR DATA OF NUMBER OF PATIENT OF SILICOSIS & TUBERCULOSIS)

24.1 Health Hazards in Mining:

Some are the major health Hazards in mining as below:

Airborne particulate hazards: Free crystalline silica is the most abundant material in the crust of the earth and is therefore the most common airborne powder encountered by miners and quarry employees. Although quartz may also appear as tridimite or christobalite, the most common form of silica. Once silica-bearing rock is drilled, blasted, crushed or otherwise pulverized into fine particles, breathable particles are produced. The quantity of silica in different rock species varies but is not a reliable indicator of how much silica dust in an air sample can be found.

With sufficient exposure, silica can cause silicosis, a typical pneumoconiosis that develops insidiously after years of exposure. Exceptionally high exposure can cause acute or accelerated silicosis within months with significant impairment or death occurring within a few years. Exposure to silica is also associated with an increased risk of tuberculosis, lung cancer and of some autoimmune diseases, including scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis

Physical hazards: Noise in mining is omnipresent. It is created by the ore's powerful machines, fans, blasting and transport. Typically the underground mine has limited space, producing a reverberant environment. Noise sensitivity is higher than in a more open environment where the same sources are present.

The use of conventional means of noise control on mining machinery will reduce exposure to noise.

Chemical hazards: Crystalline silica has long been a serious hazard in mining, with the risk of silicosis. Silicosis has been subject to considerable investigation. Axial water-fed rock drills, wet techniques, ventilation, enclosed cabins and respiratory protection facility largely control silicosis.

Due to unavailability of data on the basis of survey by having a discussion with doctors and hospital staff, it has been identified that there is a very few cases of silicosis & tuberculosis comes through out the year which is very normal and can be found anywhere.

PLANTATION AND GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT IN RESPECT OF LEASE ALREADY GRANTED

The basic approach to green belt / plant growth in the lease area is to provide an esthetic look, reduce fugitive pollution, and monitor noise effect, etc.

Green Belt will be developed based on the following principles:

• Protect natural or semi-natural environments; • Improve air quality within urban areas; • Protect the unique character of rural communities that might otherwise be absorbed by expanding suburbs. • Plants that grow fast should be preferred • Preference for high canopy covers plants with local varieties • Perennial and evergreen plants should be preferred • Plants having a high Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) should be preferred.

The green belt has many benefits for people:

• Walking, camping, and biking areas close to the cities and towns. • Contiguous habitat network for wild plants, animals and wildlife. • Cleaner air and water. • Better land use of areas within the bordering cities.

Greenbelt Development & Plantation Programme Plantation should be developed at 2 M x 2 M spacing, the rate of survival should be aimed at 80% by regular watering & fencing to keep plants safe from animal grazing. Local species will be planted in consultation with local horticulturist. Diseased plants should be replaced by planting new saplings.

Recommendation for Green Belt Development It is strongly recommended to create greenbelt around the project site or in case lease failed the authority should take proper action to stop mining operation or revoke mining permission with necessary action.
