Every effort have been made to cover sand mining locations, areas & overview of mining activity in the district with all its relevant features pertaining to geology & mineral wealth in replenishable and non-replenishable areas of rivers, stream and other sand sources. This report will be 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 is based on data of various departments, published reports, and websites. The data may vary due to flood, heavy rains and other natural calamities. Therefore, it is recommended that competent authority may take into consideration all its relevant aspects / data while scrutinizing and recommending the application for prior environmental clearance to the concerned authority/ project proponent. Date: Place:Jalgaon 3 Part I District Survey Report of Jalgaon district for Sand Mining or River Bed Mining Prepared under MoEFCC, GoI notification S.O. 141(E) dated 15.1.2016 Sustainable Sand Mining Guidelines MoEFCC, GoI notification S.O. 3611(E) dated 25.07.2018 Enforcement and Monitoring Guidelines for Sand Mining 2020 4 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 5 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.
