Project Name: Jainpur Unit-1 Sand UNIT, Sand mining (minor mineral) PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT District: Sonipat, Haryana M/s Shyam Jaina Ram. only from such mining. The sand to be excavated is in high demand at the local market for real estate and infrastructure industry. This project will also provide employment to local people helping them earn livelihood. In addition to this, it will further prevent widening of the Yamuna river bed due to the deposition of sediments which if not mined out will result in raising of the river bed causing flooding, damage to the adjoining areas, destruction of life and property. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap The demand for Sand is ever growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our country. The mineral is used mainly in the construction activities like roads, buildings, bridges etc specially in NCR. The requirement for the mineral is always high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore there is always a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production The demand in the domestic market is high sand mineral is available in abundant quantity in the contracted area and can be excavated indigenously. Import does not apply in the present case of sand mining. 2.6 Export Possibility There is no proposal to export the sand. 2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets Domestic Market The sand excavated will be directly sold in the market. Export Market The proposed mining activity is for indigenous consumption only for real estate and infrastructure sector etc. No possibility of export of sand from this contract. 2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and indirect) due to the project This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society. It will provide employment to the people residing in vicinity and indirectly by the development of supporting infrastructure. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of Project Including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects, If Any.

3.3 Details of Alternate Sites Rivers and streams by far have been the most lucrative and attractive source for extracting large volume of building materials such as boulders, stone, pebbles, sand and gravel for a variety of construction activities. Following are some advantages of using river sediments as compared to the crushing of rock- mass from rock-in-situ quarries.

• Due to attrition, the material is already granulated and rounded, well sorted and generally clean • Sediments can easily be collected / extracted by digging less deep pits in active channel or dry river beds of upper terraces • Invariably free from weak materials and interstitial loose / fine material.

Vardan Environet, Gurgaon Page | 27

Project Name: Jainpur Unit-1 Sand UNIT, Sand mining (minor mineral) PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT District: Sonipat, Haryana M/s Shyam Jaina Ram.

• Not far from cities or market as the civilization has developed near the bank of rivers • Require comparatively less processing. • Natural replenishment takes place annually due to transportation of sediments from upper course/reaches during high stage of river, which is achieved a number of times during monsoon

In plain reaches, where the bed slope is gentle, the river bed is overlaid with matrix mainly comprising of sand of different gradation along with silt and clay. In the present case, the has issued LOI for riverbed mining to the project proponent for carrying out extraction of sand in Riverbed and Private Agricultural land falling within the territory of Jainpur-1 Sand unit, Sonipat. Thus, the mining site has been specified by the government and thus, there is no case for alternate site studies. Besides this any other alternative other than river bed mining like mining of rock in-situ quarry shall result in exorbitant cost, result in comparatively higher land degradation and cause more environmental impacts.

3.3.1 Size or Magnitude of Operation

The mine contract area is land in the river section and the project is contemplated to mine the mineral sand by fully mechanized open cast method of mining without blasting. The daily production has been contemplated as 4,783.33 MT.

3.4 Size or magnitude of operation The proposed mine has contract over an area of 38.10 Hect. The maximum rated capacity of the project will be 14.35 Lakh MT Per annum which will be excavated out in layers upto a depth of 3m in Riverbed & 9m in Agricultural field.

3.5 Project description with process details

Method of Mining The method of mining is open cast mechanized method. Mining will be done by deploying earthmovers like excavator/Poclain, Backhoe and loaders for loading of mineral into trucks, tippers and tractor/trolleys and directly transported into market. Mining Machinary and transporting vehicles may be deployed on contractual basis. No mineral beneficiation will be carried out at the site

3.6 Raw Material Required Along With Estimated Quantity, Likely Source, Marketing Area of Final Product/s, mode of Transport of Raw Material and Finished Product

No raw material will be required in the proposed project. The operation involves the excavation of sand in its existing form and transported to the endusers.

The Mineral production (in MT) for the Next Five years is given below: Year Sand First Year 14,35,000 Second Year 14,35,000 Third Year 14,35,000 Fourth Year 14,35,000 Fifth Year 14,35,000

3.7 Resource Optimization/ Recycling and Reuse Minerals are generally depleting asset once mined; but minerals like sand will be replenished naturally. Thus a scientific approach will be taken up for excavation of mineral with systematic method. There will be No Overburden or solid-waste generation.

3.8 Availability of Water, its Source, Energy/ Power Requirement and Source 3.8.1 Water Requirement

Total Water Requirement (20 KLD)

Dust Suppression Domestic Plantation (10 KLD) (5 KLD) (5 KLD)

Thus total water requirement will be 20 KLD. This water will be supplied from the pre-existing sources from nearby villages through tankers.

3.8.2 Power All the activities will be carried out in a mechanized manner. The material will be excavated and loaded directly into, dumpers. tractors-trolley etc by the diesel run excavator cum loaders. The operation will be done only from sun rise to sun set. So there is no power requirement for the mining activity.

3.8.3 Liquid Effulent

No liquid effulent will be generated at the mine site due to the mineral excavation.

4.1.3 Nearest Highway- NH -1, (10 km, W) 4.2 Landform, Landuse and Land ownership The contracted block is a part of Yamuna riverbed/Agricultura field. The proposed activity is to take place in the stream bed and hence there will be no change in land use. 4.3 Topography The district of Sonipat is bounded by 28048’15” to 29017’10” north latitude and 76028’40” to 77012’45” east longitude. It falls in the survey of India topo sheets no.53C, 53D, 53G & 53H covering an area of 2260.53 sq.km. Sonipat is one of the smallest districts in Haryana State and covers 5.11 % area of the state. The district is surrounded by district in the north, district in the west, district in the S.W direction and Delhi in the South. 4.4 Existing land use pattern and shortest distances from Forests, Water bodies, Eco sensitive areas, etc. The mine contract area is an undulating River bed/Agricultural field. There is no forest land in the mine contract area. The entire mining contract lies within the bed of Yamuna River/Private Agricultural land. No Protected & Reserve Forest areas present within 10 km of the project site. 4.5 Existing Infrastructure The site being on Yamuna River bed has no existing infrastructure, except for connecting road for transportation. 4.6 Environmental Settings (Secondary Sources) Physiography & Drainage: The River Yamuna, which borders the district in the East, is the main river in the district. The district is drained by drain no.8, which was constructed to take out excess monsoon runoff from uplands to River Yamuna. The areas east of upland plains are more prone to flooding because of its low-lying nature. Depth to water level during pre-monsoon varies from 1.41– 23.22m while during post-monsoon it varies from 0.99 – 24.46m. The depth to water level lies within 10m below the land surface in most parts of the district. It rests between 2 to 25m deep in the eastern side and 2 to 10m in the north western parts of the district. An only in small patch in the Rai block, water table is deeper having range of 20m to 40m. Geography: The area forms a part of the Indo-Gangetic plains and exhibit flat terrain with general slope from north to south. The maximum elevation of the plain is 230m above msl. Topographically the district can be divided into the following units. 1. Active flood plains along the present day course of the river Yamuna in eastern part of the district. 2. Abandoned flood plains of recent past. These are generally bordering the active flood plains and are

Upland plains representing the relatively older river deposits. The has been roughly aligned along the ridge formed by upland Plains. Climatic condition The climate of the district is characterized by the dryness of the air with an intensely hot summer and a cold winter. The cold season starts by late November and extends to about the middle of March. It is followed by hot season, which continues to about the end of June when the southwest monsoon arrives over the district. The period from July to September is the southwest monsoon season. January is the coldest month with mean daily maximum temperature 21.3oC and mean daily minimum temp 7.3oC. May is the hottest month with mean daily maximum temp 26.6oC. In May and June, the maximum temperature sometimes reaches about 47oC. Rainfall: The normal annual rainfall of the district, based on the record for the period 1901-1980 is 567 mm recorded in 30 rainy days in a year. About 76% of the annual rainfall is recorded during the southwest monsoon from June-September. July is the wettest month of the year with 7.5 rainy days and 169 mm rainfall. During the period 1901-80, deficient to scanty rainfall was recorded in 18 years. The probability of occurrence of rainfall in the range 400-700 mm is 0.65. Administrative set-up The district comes under administratively. It has the following administrative subdivisions: Sub-Division Tehsil Block Area of block (sq.km) Sonipat Sonipat Ganaur 388.90 Gohana Kharkhoda 299.44 Ganour Rai 280.49 Sonipat 397.89 Ganour Mundalana 305.73 Kharkhoda Kathura 205.77 Gohana 290.32

Economy Industrial development in the city started in the 1950s with Atlas Cycle. Since then, many small and big industries has been established. Sonipat has four industrial areas (Sonipat, Kundli, Rai, Barhi) which contain numerous small- and medium-scale industries. Sonipat is the major industrial area in Haryana, the Old Sonipat Industrial Area has now gone into a limbo of sorts. The area is no longer under the District Industries Centre (DIC) and its current monitoring authority the Haryana Industries and

Vardan Environet, Gurgaon Page | 32

Project Name: Jainpur Unit-1 Sand UNIT, Sand mining (minor mineral) PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT District: Sonipat, Haryana M/s Shyam Jaina Ram.

Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) is yet to complete the handover formalities.

Due to this, the 100 operational units in the industrial area spread across 140 acres are in a fix. These units do not know to whom they should consult and where should they go for redressal of infrastructure problems. Geophyical Status About 28% area is adversely affected with shallow ground water salinity. Such areas include few localities in Mundlana, Gohana, Kathurah and Kharkhauda blocks. Ground water is saline within 20m depth over half of the Sonepat district particularly in the areas lying in west, northwest, and south of the district. However, the impact of ground water salinity is less in the vicinity of river and canals. Part of the study area over northern eastern, northeastern, central and southeastern direction has fresh quality of ground water within a depth of 40 to 80 m b.g.l. Such areas include blocks of Sonepat, Rai, & Ganaur. Major area has saline quality of ground water in the depth range of 40 to 80m depth b.g.l. The prominent localities where considerable thickness of aquifer bearing fresh ground water has been inferred are Kheora, Ganaur, Chirasmi, Quamaspur, Kheri-gujar, Rajpura, Ghasauli, Murthal, Majri- mawai and Ahulana. Part of the area over southeast and small pockets in extreme north and northeast of Sonepat district has been identified bearing fresh ground water within a depth of 100 to 150m b.g.l. The prominent localities where fresh water available within 100 to 150m depth are around Simbalgarh and Jagdishpur lying in extreme northeast and southeast of the district adjacent to Yamuna river. Part of the district over northwest, west and south is water logged which is also one of the reason for ground water salinity. Preventive measures are suggested to stop water logging. The salient features of the study are shown in figure . Infrastructure In a bid to strengthen infrastructure support to the local industries, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard) has sanctioned Rs 205.7 crore for 25 road projects in nine districts of Haryana, including Sonipat and . Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) falling in the area of these 25 road projects have welcomed the initiative and reverberated in unison that it would help the industries grow once the proposed roads become operational. Earmarked as a priority town in the Delhi Metropolitan Area (DMA), Kundli’s development is of prime importance to the government. The biggest infrastructural project in the area is the 135 km long Kundli-Manesar- (KMP) Expressway, the largest highway project in the country, to be implemented on a build operate-transfer (BOT) basis. Also known as the Western Peripheral Expressway, KMP will connect four National Highways, namely, NH-1, 2, 8, and 10
