Part I: District Survey Report for Sand Mining or River Bed Mining
1. INTRODUCTION
Hon'ble Supreme Court of India dated 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 Haryana and Others etc., prior environmental clearance has made mandatory for mining of minor minerals irrespective of the area of mining lease. Accordingly, Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF& CC) had issued Office Memorandum No. LllOll/47/2011-IA.II(M) dated 18th May 2013. As per this O.M. all mining projects of minor minerals would henceforth require prior Environmental Clearance irrespective of the lease area. The stone quarry and sand quarrying projects need environmental clearance as per the MoEF guidelines and such pg. 47 projects are treated as Category ‘B' even if the lease area is less than 5 Ha. Subsequently, various amendments were made as regards to obtain environmental clearance of the minor minerals. The Hon'ble National Green Tribunal, vide its 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. As per the latest amendment S.O. 141 (E) & S.O.190(E) dated 15th January 2016 & 20th January in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) and in pursuance of notification of Ministry of Environment and Forest number S.O. 1533 (E), dated the 14th September, 2006 the Central Government had constituted the District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA), for grant of Environmental Clearance for Category „B2' Projects for mining of minor minerals, for all the districts in the country. But later on Hon. NGT , vide its order dated 13th Sept.2018, stated that for 0-5 Ha areas also recommendation of grant EC by SEIAA instead of DEAC/DEIAA. The MoEF&CC in its Notification dated 15th January 2016 has prescribed Preparation of District Survey Report for Sand Mining or River Bed Mining and Mining of other Minor Minerals. A detailed procedure and format for preparation of District Survey Report is provided in the said Notification. Further the procedure for preparation of DSR and format is amended vide MoEF&CC Notification S.O. 3611(E) dated 25.07.2018. The DSR is defined at “Appendix -X (See Paragraph 7(iii)(a)" of the notification S.O.141(E)dated 15.01.2016 and S.O. 3611(E) dated 25.07.2018

2. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT Jalgaon District does not have any major mineral sources like Iron, Aluminum, Coal, etc. but districthas a rich source of minor mineral like stones, pebbles, red soils (Moorum), Sand etc. The ever increasing influx of people in the city of Jalgaon has heightened the hopes for having more qualitative public facilities at an approachable distance. This has increased the demand in construction industry and various facilities are developed. All developmental activities need different construction material of which sand is basic material used for development of roads, bridges, buildings etc. River bed sand quarry are the only source of supply of sand. These sand quarries are located at approachable distance from where sand is transported with ease and at low costs. Domestic demand plays a major role in the fast growth of mining of sand. In fact the domestic demand of sand has been found increasing in India. The sand consumption has increased over the last few decades. The demand and production of stone as a construction material is increasing rapidly due to increased infrastructure development projects and other construction activities supported by the packages provided by the Government. The entire market for sand is from the Jalgaon, Bhusaval city and surrounding areas. There are about 05 stone quarries in Jalgaon District for 5 years period and around. For the Year 2019-20 forty (40) sand ghat locations seems to be feasible and will further going for prior environmental clearance from competent authority. Mining activity is one of the main revenue sources for the district.
40 locations of sand ghats over Girna, Tapi, Waghur, Suki and Bori rivers where sand deposition took place from replenishment. (Source info. District Mining Office, Jalgaon).

6. Process of deposition of sediments in the rivers of the District:] Sediment transportation Sediment transport is the movement of organic and inorganic particles by water. In general, greater the flow more sediment that will be conveyed. Water flow can be strong enough to suspend particles in the water column as they move downstream, or simply push them along the bottom of a waterway. Transported sediment may include mineral matter, chemicals and pollutants, and organic material. Another name for sediment transport is sediment load. The total load includes all particles moving as bed load, suspended load, and wash load.
a. Bed load
Bed load particles travel with water flow by sliding or bouncing along the bottom. Bed load is the portion of sediment transport that rolls, slides or bounces along the bottom of a waterways. This sediment is not truly suspended, as it sustains intermittent contact with the streambed, and the movement is neither uniform nor continuous. Bed load occurs when the force of the water flow is strong enough to overcome the weight and cohesion of the sediment. While the particles are pushed along, they typically do not move as fast as the water around them, as the flow rate is not great enough to fully suspend them. Bed load transport can occur during low flows (smaller particles) or at high flows (for larger particles). Approximately 5-20% of total sediment transport is bed load. In situations where the flow rate is strong enough, some of the smaller bed load particles can be pushed up into the water column and become suspended. b. Suspended Load While there is often overlap, the suspended load and suspended sediment are not the same thing. Suspended sediment are any particles found in the water column, whether the water is flowing or not. The suspended load, on the other hand, is the amount of sediment carried downstream within the water column by the water flow. Suspended loads require moving water, as the water flow creates small upward currents (turbulence) that keep the particles above the bed. The size of the particles that can be carried as suspended load is dependent on the flow rate. Larger particles are more likely to fall through the upward currents to the bottom, unless the flow rate increases, increasing the turbulence at the streambed. In addition, suspended sediment will not necessarily remain suspended if the flow rate slows.
If the water flow is strong enough to pick up sediment particles, they will become part of the suspended load.
c. Wash Load
The wash load is the portion of sediment that will remain suspended even when there is no water flow. The wash load is a subset of the suspended load. This load is comprised of the finest suspended sediment (typically less than 0.00195 mm in diameter). The wash load is differentiated from the suspended load because it will not settle to the bottom of a waterway during a low or no flow period. Instead, these particles remain in permanent suspension as they are small enough to bounce off water molecules and stay afloat. However, during flow periods, the wash load and suspended load are indistinguishable. Turbidity in lakes and slow moving rivers is typically due the wash load. When the flow rate increases (increasing the suspended load and overall sediment transport), turbidity also increases. While turbidity cannot be used to estimate sediment transport, it can approximate suspended sediment concentrations at a specific location. The rate of sediment transport typically increases as a power function of flow; that is, a doubling of flow typically produces more than a doubling in sediment transport and most sediment transport occurs during floods. The environmental impacts from in-stream mining can be avoided, if the annual bed load is calculated and aggregate extraction is restricted to that value or some portion of it. To accurately limit extraction to some portion of bed load, the amount of sediment that passes the in-stream mining site during a given period of time must be calculated. There is a large amount of uncertainty in the process of calculating annual rates of bed load transport. How much coarse material is moved, how long it remains in motion as also how far it moves depends on the size, shape & packing of the material and the characteristics of the river flow. Downstream movement commonly occurs as irregular bursts of short- distance movement separated by longer periods, when the particles remain at rest. Because bed load changes from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and year-to-year, estimating annual bed load rates is a dynamic process involving careful examination. Constant variations in the flow of the river make the channel floor and riverbanks a dynamic interface, where some materials are being eroded while others are being deposited. The net balance of this activity, on a short- term basis, is referred to as scour or fill. On a long- term basis, continued scour results in erosion (degradation), while continued fill results in deposition (aggradation). A general indicator of the stability of a stream relates to the amount of vegetation present. Gravel bars that are vegetated or where the gravel is tightly packed, generally indicate streams, where the gravel supply is in balance. Streams with excessive gravel generally have gravel bars with little or no vegetation, and are surfaced with loosely packed gravel. d. What is Sediment Deposition? Sediment is necessary to the development of aquatic ecosystems through nutrient replenishment and the creation of benthic habitat and spawning areas. These benefits occur due to sediment deposition – when suspended particles settle down to the bottom of a body of water. This settling often occurs when water flow slows down or stops and heavy particles can no longer be supported by the bed turbulence. Sediment deposition can be found anywhere in a water system, from high mountain streams, to rivers, lakes, deltas
and floodplains. However, it should be noted that while sediment is important for aquatic habitat growth, it can cause environmental issues if the deposition rates are too high, or too low.
When the flow rate changes, some sediment can settle out of the water, adding to point bars, channel bars and beaches Sediment transportation and Deposition is depends upon various factors like Slope of the Area, Annual
Rainfall, Lithology, flow intensity of River, Geomorphology, Soil, Geology and Land use.

7. GENERAL PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT:
Jalgaon district is one of the district of Khandesh Region and situated in north western part of Maharashtra. It is situated in the northern part of the State abutting Madhya Pradesh and lies between north latitudes 20°15’ and 21°25’ and east longitudes 74°55’ and 76°28’. The total area of the district is 11,765 sq.km. and falls in parts of Survey of India degree sheets 46 K, 46 L, 46 P, 55 C, 55 D, and 56 O. The district is bounded on the north by Madhya Pradesh, on the east by Buldhana, on the west by Nashik and Dhule districts and on the south by Aurangabad district. The district headquarters is located at Jalgaon Town. For administrative convenience, the district is divided into 15 talukas viz., Jalgaon, Bhusaval, Yaval, Raver, Muktainagar, Amalner, Chopda, Erandol, Palora, Chalisgaon, Jamner, Pachora, Bhadgaon, Dharangaon and Bodwad. It has a total population of 4,224,442 as per 2011 census. The district has 16 towns and 1519 villages. Population density as per 2011 sensus is 359 persons/Sq.km. The major part of the district comes under Tapi basin. Tapi is the main river flowing through the district. Jalgaon district is known for its advances in horticulture. Its production of bananas and cotton, especially by resorting to drip irrigation, has created a role model for cultivators in other parts of India. Bananas grown in the district are exported outside the State and to other countries. Mehrun village is famous for its unique bor(jubjube). Amalner is regarded as Pandharpur of Khandesh. Centuries ago, Sant Muktabai’s stay in the district has made it a holy place since. In present times, legendary poetess Bahinabai Chaudhari of Jalgaon spread the fame of the Ahirani dialect across the seven seas. Sane Guruji awakened the labour class while BalkaviThomre’s poetry enriched socio-cultural life of thedistrict.
Stretching nearly 80 miles along the Tapi river, and varying in breadth from seventy to ninety miles, Jalgaon forms an upland basin, one of the most northerly sections of the Deccan table-land. Along the whole northern frontier, the district is bounded by the Satpuda ranges, a mountain tract from thirty to forty miles wide. On thenorth-easternside,thedistrictisboundedbytheterritoriesoftheMadhyaPradeshState. Quite a major portion of the northern boundary is marked by the tributary Aner which in the west continues to separate Jalgaon from Dhulia till its junction with the Tapi. On the east and south-east, a range of low and detached hills and some major streams, without any marked natural boundary, separate Jalgaon from the districts of Vidarbha. To the south, the Ajanta, Satmala and Chandor ranges may roughly be said to mark the line between Jalgaon and the Marathwada territory. Within these limits, in several places along the south boundary, the Marathwada territory runs north of the Ajanta range. On the Jalgaon shares its boundary with the Nasik district over a stretch of about 25 miles, and then with the Dhulia district for about 50 miles, the Panjhra river being the only natural feature demarcating ft over a majorstretch.
The Tapi banks are high and bare, and due to heavy regional erosion the land on both sides is seamed by tributary rivers and streams. Now and again from the north, spurs of the Satpuda stretch close to the river bank, and on the south rise some low barren hill ranges. With these exceptions, the long 18 central plain is for about 80 miles from Burhanpur to the western limit of the district which is co-terminus with the confluence of Aner and Bori rivers with the Tapi. Although the Tapi valley consists of a vast alluvial plain, intense erosion-riverine and gully is the major key-note of its landscape, and it acts as a serious and increasing limitation on the traditional agricultural wealth of the region. This is particularly noticeable on the northern flank between Faizpur and Chopda, and on the southern in the immediate vicinity oftheGirna and the Vaghur rivers. Cultivation evidently dominates the valley landscape, though to the north, near the base of the Satpuda, it yields progressively to forest growth, and in the south to barren grass lands with the approaches of the Ajanta ranges.
The District is divided in to seven Subdivisions and now 15 talukas. There are seven Subdivisions and now fifteen talukas listed as:

It was part of a region known as Rasika in ancient times, and after the region came under the rule of the Farqui Kings, it came to be called Khandesh. The Vakatakas, the Nizam of Hyderabad, and subsequently the Marathas ruled the region. In 1906 when Khandesh was divided, east Khandesh became present-day Jalgaon. In 1956 with the reorganization of states, it was included in Bombay state, and with the formation of Maharashtra in 1960, Jalgaon became a district of the state.

9. PHYSIOGRAPHY OF THE DISTRICT:
Jalgaon District belongs to the Deccan uplands of the Maharashtra state; it is distinguished from the rest of the upland District bywestward drainage. The Tapi river passes through the centre of the District from east to west. The rest of the upland region is drained by major river to the east. The Tapi and its tributaries drain the Jalgaon region to the west towards Arabian Sea. The landscape is typically that of the Deccan lavas with residual hill ranges and broad valley, with trap dykes introducing sharp local contrast as small chains of hillocks. Thus the region includes varied topographical features and landscapes consisting of wild hills, barren plain, low lying rocky hills and bad land topography near major river banks. Regionally, at parallel with the Tapi, there are three well markedbelts. i) The Northern Hilly Region ofSatpuda. ii) The Central TapiValleyRegion. iii) Southern AjanthaHillyRegion.

The mean minimum temperature is 10.8°C and means maximum temperature is 42.2°C.
11. GEOLOGY OF THE DISTRICT
Deccan Trap Basalt of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age is the major rock formation, covering about 8040 sq. km. area in central and the southern parts of the district. These rocks formations are intruded by the dykes of the same period. Alluvium occurs over an area of 3600 sq. km. in the northern part of the district below the Satpura ranges.
Northern part of the district is underlain by Tapi Alluvium. Tapi Alluvium can be subdivided into two sub units, i.e., the upper younger alluvium extending down to 70-80 m depth and the deeper older alluvium attaining a maximum depth of 450 m. However, only upper 70-80 m of younger alluvium, having 2 to 5 layers of granular zones of sand and gravel ranging in thickness from 2 to 20 m, forms the potential aquifer. At deeper levels the alluvium is mostly clayey and does not form potential aquifer
Mineral Wealth:
Basalt, sand, weathered basalt(Murrum),Gravels, Clay and Agate in small areas.
DISTRICT WISE DETAILS OF RIVER OR STREAM AND OTHER SAND SOURCES
Drainage includes surface as well as underground flow of natural water. It is related to cloudiness, insolation, humidity, precipitation, wind velocity, wind direction, surface flow, and also related to nature of topography, vegetation, soil cover and itshuman utilization pattern. Tapi is the main river in the Jalgaon District. It drains about 120 Kms. of surface. The Tapi receives many tributaries from both sides. On the right bank of Tapi the tributaries are Bhokar, Suki, Mor, Manki, Guli, Hadki and Aner while Purna,
23
Bhogawati, Vaghur, Girna, Panzara and Bori tributaries are join the Tapi river on its left bank. The right bank tributaries of the Tapi river originate from Satpudas on its southern slope and of little use for irrigation purpose. The left bank tributaries of Tapi flow the south and emanate from Sahyadris except for Purna and Vaghur. The Purna, Girna, Panjhara drain much wider tracks. The Purna entering from the south- east flows in this District for 40 Kms. and meets the Tapi near Changdeo in Muktainagar tahsil. The Girna river rising from Nasik District and flowing 120 Kms. to Jalgaon District, joins to Tapi near village Nanded in Amalner tahsil. The Vaghur river flows from Ajanta hills and meets to Tapi near Shelgaon in Jalgaon tahsil. The river Bori rises in Nashik District near Malegaon and joins the Tapi near village Bohore in the District. During the rainy season all these tributaries flow with significant volume of water and become almost dry during summer season. Hence they are not useful for agriculture in summer season.
Most of the sand ghats are on Tapi,Girna, Waghur, Suki, &Bori rivers. Only Feasible sand ghats are allowed by administration for further process of EC to recommend for scooping of sand every year after proper survey.
