PROJECT REPORT Area : 37.0 hects. Village : Satri Lessee : Shri Shrawan Kumar Pathak CHAPTER - I Introduction :- 1. The area under reference is part of old mining lease sanctioned for mining of mineral limestone to lessee over an area of 38.129 hects. vide state govt. of MP order no. 599/ 7461/12 dated 19.1.73 along with the subsequent orders of Hon’ble High Court and different state govt. letters. 2. The applied area under reference is denuded forest land devoid of any vegetation. The mineral limestone is out cropping in the area and is stony. 3. The applicant has applied for diversion of 37.0 Hects. of forest land for mining purpose under Section-2 of Forest Conservation Act 1980. The applicant has applied for mining of mineral Limestone 4. About 5.92 million tonnes of Limestone is still remaining in the lease area. 5.. The Limestone is most valuable mineral. It is used in Cement and Steel industry. 6. The ore to O.B. ratio is 1:0.20 and such open cast semi mechanised method of mining will be adopted,employing machines for drilling,blasting and development while production will be carried out by local labours only. About 1,00,000 man days will be there in a year, employing 300 labour in a year benefiting about 1500 members atleast and indirectly to 100’s of people. This will help to solve the socio economic problem of the peoples. Besides this lac’s of rupees will be given as royalty and taxes to State revenue department as well as to forest department. 7. The lease area which is denuded having scarse vegetation will be reclaimed and afforested in systematic manner under the guidance of forest department after complete exhaustion of the minerals from the area. 8. The forest road connects the lease area and as such no separate road in the forest area is required. Beside this the applicant will pay regularly the forest tax for using road each truck load and maintenance 9.

[4] CHAPTER - III Geology and reserves :- (a) Regional Geology :- Vindhyan group is exposed in a vast area. In stretches from Bihar in the east to Rajasthan in the west forming NNE-SSW syncline. Limestone of the lease area belong to Nagod limestone in Bhander group. The Vindhyan super group consists of four main group named as follows :- (GENERALIZED LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE VIDHYAN SUPER GROUP) GROUP FORMATION BHANDER UPPER BHANDER SANDSTONE SIRBOO SHALE NAGOD LIMESTONE GAGURGARH SHALE REWA GOVINDGARH SANDSTONE JHIRI SHALE ASAN SANDSTONE PANNA SHALE KAIMUR DHANDRAUL QUARTZITE MANGESAR FORMATION BIJAYGARH SHALE GHAGHAR SANDSTONE SUSNAI BRECCIA SASARAM SANDSTONE SEMRI BHAGWAR SHALE ROHTASGARH LIMESTOME RAMPUR FORMATION SALKHAN LIMESTONE KOLDAHA SHALE DEONAR FORMATION KAJRAHAT LIMESTONE ARANGI LIMESTONE DEONAR SANDSTONE FCA Proposal of Shri Shrawan Kumar Pathak for diversion of 37.0 Hects. for Limestone Mining in Satri (M.P.) [5] DESCRIPTION OF ROCK TYPE :- (a) Ganurgarh shale :- Ganurgarh shale underlies Nagod limestone. It is soft, light brown, brownish grey in colour, well bedded and splits along the bedding planes. (b) Nagod Limestone :- Nagod limestone overlies Ganurgarh shale. It is mostly outcropping in the area. It is fine to medium grained, light grey in colour. The outcrops are mainly light grey and on erosion the surface appears rough and corrugated. The strike is E-W with low 10 to 20 southerly dip. (c) Sirboo Shale :- The Sirboo shale over-lies Nagod limestone. Though only a few meters of the basal part of the Sirboo shale is exposed in both Lilji and Pathna cracks, yet it is represented by a plethora of facies. It is very well developed and are seen along the sides of hill range in south & east of Maihar. It is exposed parallel to N.H. 7 in south from Maihar to Amarpatan in north of the Kymore range. Overlying the sirboo shales are upper Bhander sandstone topping the hillocks on the south of N.H.- 7. (d) Soil :- The soil thickness in general extends upto a depth of 0.5 m. The detritus soil seem to have been derived from weathering of sandstone and shale of Kymore and Bhander ranges. This is sandy in nature.

[6] LOCAL GEOLOGY :- The occurrence of limestone in lease area is stratigraphically controlled and is associated with Nagod limestone of Bhander group of Vindhyan super group. The occurrence of limestone in lease area is stromatolitic limestone which is exposed in the quarries as well as eastern portion of the lease area. The outcrop is in bouldary form. Prominent weathering effect is visible on outcrop part of limestone. They have general E-W trend and dip of 10 to 20 varying between south 100 W to south 50E. The Lithological sequence of different rocks is given below :- Recent Alluvium 0 to 0.6 m. Nagod limestone Limestone interbedded with shale contd. The stromatolitic structure is obvious in east side in surface exposures. The stromatolite heads are composed of concetric laminae. They appear as stacked semicircles on the vertical faces with radii increasing upward. The stromatolites are of columnar type with vertical stacked convex-upward hemispheroids having variable basal radius. These columns may show branching. The utility of upward - convexity of the stromatolite laminae is the determination of stratigraphic order, as well as the fact that stromatolite is an organo- sedimentary stucture rather than an inorganic structure. Besides their upward convexity, the laminae often drop over the edge of the heads and appear to have been deposited at an angle exceeding the angle of repose of the sediment. Such features provide key to the organo- sedimentary origin of stromatolite. The intercolumnar areas are narrow and filled with sandstone and finer particles, a striking feature of the stromatolite column. On bedding plane surface, the stromatolite heads are ellipticcal with asymmetric accretion. The direction of greater accretion point down current (Hoffman - 1967). Pebbles size intercalations locally occur in the cervices between the columns. FCA Proposal of Shri Shrawan Kumar Pathak for diversion of 37.0 Hects. for Limestone Mining in Satri (M.P.)
