Every efforts have been made to cover sand mining locations, areas & overview of mining activities 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. There are altogether 42 sand ghats in Bokaro district of which 30 ghats were settled and executed, 09 ghats were settled but not executed and 03 ghats were unsettled & unexecuted. Among the settled and executed 30 ghats only 03 are working at present and the remaining 27 ghats are non-working due to lapse of validity period. Out of 42 sandghats 03 sandghats are proposed for non-commercial uses i.e for Panchayat under Category 1 as there is less accumulation of sand aggregates although being in 3 rd and above stream order, 36 non working Sand Ghats are proposed for settlement to JSMDC under Category 2 as per Jharkhand State Sand Mining Policy -2017 and 03 presently working sandghats needs to be reassessed after lapse of validity period of these ghats for further action. The data may be vary session to session. The District Survey Report shall be updated regularly at an interval of 5 years. District Survey Report of Bokaro District for Sand Mining DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT OF BOKARO DISTRICT FOR SAND MINING 1. INTRODUCTION Bokaro district is newly created district carved out from Giridih and Dhanbad district. It is one of the highly industrialized coal belt district in Jharkhand. Bokaro district is bounded by Giridih in North, Purulia (West Bengal) in the south, Dhanbad in the east and Hazaribagh in the west. The district is spread over 2861 Sq. Kilometer lying between latitude 23 024'27" N to 23 057'24"N and longitude 85 034'30"E to 86 029'10" E. It is covered by Survey of India toposheet nos. 73 E/9, 73 E/10, 73 E/13, 73 E/14, 73 I/1, 73 I/2, 73 I/5 and 73 I/6. As per Gazette notification of 15th January 2016 of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change a Survey shall be carried out by the District Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) with assistance of Irrigation department, Drainage department, Forest department, Mining department and Revenue department in the district for preparation of District Survey Report as per the sustainable Sand mining guidelines to ensure 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. Every efforts 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 replenish-able and non-replenish-able areas of rivers, stream and other sand sources. The mineral potential is calculated based on field investigation & geology of the catchment area of the river or streams. Also as per the site conditions Page | 1 District Survey Report of Bokaro District for Sand Mining and locations, depth of minable mineral is defined. The area for removal of the mineral in a river or stream is decided depending on geo- morphology & other factors, it can be 50% to 60% of the area of a particular river or stream. Other constituents like clay and silt are excluded as waste while calculating the mineral potential of particular river or stream. This District Survey Report shall form the basis for application for environment clearance, preparation of reports and appraisal of projects. The report shall be updated once every five years. 2. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY: 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 cementand steel. In the earlier time the mud houses/buildings were constructed with theuse of mud . However with the passage of time, new techniques of developmentactivities were started. As such the demand of Minor Mineral started on anincreasing trend. In order to meet the requirement of raw material for construction,the extraction of sand carried out manually / semi- mechanized process from theriver beds . The local residents used to lift sand etc. from the river beds to meet out their bonafide requirement. However after coming into being The Jharkhand MinorMineral Rules 2017, the mining is regulated in accordance with the rules. At present 07 number of settled but not executed and 3 unsettled Sand Ghats have beenstudied inaccordance with the Jharkhand Sand Mining Policy in different parts of the district to prepare theDistrict Survey Report. In Bokaro district number of minerals are extracted which include mainly coal, quartzite, stone and sand.Bokaro is well known for coal deposits.

LIST OF MINING LEASES IN THE DISTRICT WITH LOCATION, AREA AND PERIOD OF VALIDITY There are altogether 42 sand ghats in the district of whichghats 30 ghats were settled and executed, 09 ghats were settled but not executed and 03 ghats were unsettled & unexecuted. Among the settled and executed 30 ghats only 03 are working at present and the remaining 27 ghats are non-working due to lapse of validity period.
