Minor minerals (sand, bajri, and boulder) are the basic raw materials for its utilization in any developmental activity throughout the world. Mining of minerals has been in operation from the very beginning of the civilization. Minor minerals are primarily produced from mining operations on the surface of earth, near the river beds and sand quarrying below the surface of earth. Sand is naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles between 0.06 mm to 2 mm in diameter. Sand is formed due to weathering of rocks due to mechanical forces. In the process the weathered rocks forms gravel and then to sand. Sand and gravel together known as aggregate, represent the highest volume of raw material used on earth. The mining of aggregate has been continuing for many years. Now the mining of aggregates has reached a level threatening the environment and ecosystem besides also reaching a level of scarcity that would threaten the economy.
Sand, Bajri and Boulder are termed as minor mineral as per the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 issued by the Ministry of Mines, Govt. of India. All the minerals (minor and major) vest with the Govt. of India and State Govt., irrespective of the land whether it is private or Government land. Government of India through the state Governor has conferred the powers to the State Govt. under section 15 and section 23-C of the said act to make rules for regulating the grant of various forms of mineral concessions in respect of minor minerals and for the purposes connected therewith. In exercise of the powers conferred under section 15 and section 23-C of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, the Governor of Punjab has notified the Punjab Minor Minerals Rules, 2013 vide Gazette Notification th dated 12 March, 2013.
In recent years, rapid development has led to an increased demand for sand as a source of construction material. This has resulted in a mushrooming of river sand mining activities, which have given rise to various problems that require urgent action by the authorities. The main ensuing problems are river bank erosion, river bed degradation, deterioration of river water quality and drying up of rivers. Over-mining is jeopardizing the health of the river and the environment. Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, New Delhi looks after the issues related to the Environmental Management of various activities carried out in the country including mining of minerals. Mining of minor minerals comes under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and th Climate Change, New Delhi notification dated 14 September, 2006 and its subsequent amendments. Recently, the Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi has issued th amendments in the EIA notification dated 14 September, 2006 relating to various activities
District Survey Report – 3 Jalandhar th falling under minor minerals. As per the amendment notification dated 15 January, 2016, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in consultation with State Governments has prepared guidelines on sustainable sand mining detailing the provisions on environmental clearance for cluster, creation of District Environment Impact Assessment Authority and proper monitoring of sand mining using information technology. As per the notification, each district has to prepare a District Survey Report of the expected Minor Minerals available in the district. The purpose of the District Survey Report is to identify the 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. Keeping in line with the requirements of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, New Delhi, General Manager, Department of Industries and Commerce, Jalandhar in consultation with other departments has prepared the District Survey Report for their proposed sand quarry mining sites located in district Jalandhar, Punjab. The methodology adopted for the preparation of the District Survey Report is based on the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India. A detailed District Survey Report requires sufficient background data on various components through reconnaissance survey, data available with the government departments etc. The methodology adopted in preparing the District Survey Report is described below. Collection of information and data of proposed mining locations, land details, demarcation of land, latitude and longitude of site, elevation of site from MSL etc. Identification of areas of deposition where mining can be allowed and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installations where mining is to be prohibited Calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in area Topographical survey of site(s) indicating the surrounding features within and nearby the site
Identification of suitability of site as per the Punjab Minor Minerals Rules,2013 Identification of proposed mineral extraction potential within the lease period Assessing the adverse impacts on the environment and to avoid the impacts, suggest cost effective mitigation and management measures to mitigate the negative impacts Identifying ways of scientific and systematic mining Identifying measures for protection of environment and ecology Determining measures for protection of bank erosion District Survey Report – 4 Jalandhar
As per the Punjab Minor Minerals Rules, 2013, the following general conditions w.r.t. mining site should be complied; 1. No mining is permitted in Reserved/Protected Forest area 2. No cutting of trees is permitted in the mining lease area without prior approval of Forest Department 3.

DISTRICT – JALANDHAR
Punjab is a state in the northwest of the Republic of India, forming part of the larger Punjab region. The state is bordered by the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh to the east, Haryana to the south and southeast, Rajasthan to the southwest, and the Pakistani province of Punjab to the west. To the north it is bounded by the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The state capital is located in Chandigarh, a Union Territory and also the capital of the neighboring state of Haryana.
Agriculture is the largest industry in Punjab. It is the largest single producer of wheat in India. Other major industries include the manufacturing of scientific instruments, agricultural goods, electrical goods, financial services, textiles, machine tools, sewing machines, sports goods, starch, tourism, fertilizers, bicycles, garments, and the processing of pine oil and sugar. Punjab also has the largest number of steel rolling mill plants in India, which are located in Steel Town Mandi Gobindgarh, District Fatehgarh Sahib.
District Survey Report – 6 Jalandhar 2.1 ABOUT THEDISTRICT
The district is named after Jalandhar, a demon king, who finds a mention in the Puranas. According to another version Jalandhar is said to have derived its name from the vernacular term `Jalandhar’ means area inside the water, i.e. tract laying between the two rivers Sutlej and Beas, another name of Jalandhar had been Trigartta, as it was waters by three rivers, Sutlej, Beas and Ravi.
Jalandhar is located on the intensively irrigated plain between Beas and Sutlej rivers. The city, which has major road and rail connections, is a market for agricultural products. Manufacturing units include textiles, leather goods, wood products, and sporting goods. Jalandhar was the capital of Punjab from India's independence (1947) until Chandigarh was built in 1953. Jalandhar is situated at 71o31’ East and 30o33’ North at a distance of 146kms from state capital Chandigarh. It is at a distance of 350Kms from Delhi on Delhi- Amritsar Highway. It is surrounded by Ludhiana district in East, Kapurthala in West, Hoshiarpur in North and Ferozpur in South. It is well connected by road and train.
District Survey Report – 7 Jalandhar 2.1.1 Administrative Set Up: The Jalandhar District consists of 5tehsils -i) Jalandhar-I, ii) Jalandhar II, iii) Nakodar, iv)Phillaur and v) Shahkot. The tehsils are further sub-divided into 10 development blocks as Jalandhar East, Jalandhar West, Bhogpur, Adampur, Nakodar, Shahkot, Phillaur, Nurmahal, Lohian and Rurka Kalan. The district has 956 inhabited villages.
2.1.2 Rainfall: The average annual rainfall in the district is 703.0 mm. The rainfall in the district in general increases from the south-west towards the north-east and varies from 551.3 mm at Nakodar to 892.3 mm at Adampur. About 70 per cent of the annual normal rainfall in the district is received during the period July to September. The variation in the rainfall from year to year in the district is appreciable. In the 80 year, 1901 to 1980, the highest annual rainfall amounting to 181 per cent of the normal occurred in 1917. The lowest annual rainfall which was 55 per cent of the normal occurred in the year 1905. In the same period, the annual rainfall in the district was less than 80 per cent of the normal in 22 years. On an average, there are 36 rainy days (i.e. days with rainfall of 2.5 mm or more) in a year in the district. The heaviest rainfall in 24 hours recorded at any station in the district was 304.8 mm at Jalandhar on 18 August 1878. Month wise data of annual rainfall in the preceding three years is as below; Annual Rainfall Data (in mm)

District Survey Report – 8 Jalandhar 2.1.3 Temperature: January is generally the coldest month with the mean daily maximum temperature at about 19oC and the mean daily minimum at about 6oC during the winter season. After February, temperature begins to rise rapidly. June is generally the hottest month with the mean daily temperature at about 41oC and the mean daily minimum at about 27oC. Scorching dust laden winds blow on many days in the summer season and the day temperatures on individual days may reach above 45oC. Due to increase moisture in the monsoon air, the weather is often sultry and uncomfortable, in between these rains. As the monsoon withdraws by mid-September temperatures decrease and night temperature drop rapidly.
2.1.4 Geomorphology: The district is part of Bist Doab Tract, which is inter alluvial plain between Beas and Sutlej River. Physiographically, the district is characterized by two distinct features i.e. vast upland plain and Sutlej flood plain. The width of the flood plain varies according to the amount of shift experienced by the river. It is widest in the Nakodar tehsil. The district is mainly drained by the river Sutlej and its tributaries – East (White) Bein and West (Black) Bein.
2.1.5 Soils: Jalandhar district is occupied by two types of soils a) tropical arid brown and b) arid brown soils. Tropical brown soils are found in major parts of the district whereas arid brown soils are found in south western part of the district especially in Lohian and part of Shahkot block. Along the river Sutlej, fluvent type of soil is found.
2.1.6 Hydrology: The Bist Doab Canal System is the major source of canal irrigation. The network of Jalandhar branch (irrigate northern and central parts) and Phillaur distributary of Nawashahar branch((irrigate southern parts of the district).In all there are 41 canals having total length of 604.40 km. of which Best Doab canal is 43 km long. Out of 2, 27,423 ha net irrigated area, 26,755 ha is irrigated by canal and rest by groundwater. 2.1.7 Hydrogeology: The area is underlain by Sub-recent to Quarter nary alluvium comprising sand, gravel, pebbles, Kankar and clay. Older alluvium occupies the uplands all over the district except along the river Sutlej. It is also found underlying the younger alluvium in the flood plains of Sutlej. The older alluvium belongs to lower to middle Pleistocene age, while younger alluvium belongs to upper Pleistocene to recent age. Blown sands of recent age also occur as isolated patches in Western part of the district. Ground water is fresh at all levels in the district. Ground water exploration undertaken by CGWB has revealed the presence of 3 aquifer groups down to a depth of 350 m. These aquifer groups comprise of fine to medium grained sand.
District Survey Report – 9 Jalandhar The first granular zone forms the water table aquifer and occurs up to 115 m below ground level. The second aquifer occurs between 130 and 195 m depth, the third exist between 215 and 333 m depth down wards. Total thickness of the alluvium is more because bedrock has not been encountered up to 350 m depth in the district.
2.1.8 Drainage: The district is drained by the river Sutlej. Different local drains in the district flow in different parts of the district and finally merge in river Sutlej. The overall drainage pattern of the district is as below;

District Survey Report – 13 Jalandhar CHAPTER – 3 MINERAL POTENTIAL IN DISTRICT JALANDHAR
3.0 A river can be divided into two zones, which in-turn is dynamic i.e. the zone of erosion and zone of deposition. These zones of deposition and erosion are extended in different patches in the river. Mining activity in zone of erosion can further aggravate the problem of erosion and as such the mining activity can be allowed only in the zone of the deposition. The mining leases of larger areas in rivers are neither in interest of environment nor in the interest of mineral conservation. The mineral potential from rivers is calculated based on field investigation and geology of the catchment area of the river/streams. As per the policy of the Punjab State, depth of minable mineral is a maximum of 3 meters. The area for removal of mineral in a river or stream can be decided depending on geo-morphology and other factors, it can be 50% to 60% of the area of a particular river/stream. While calculating the mineral potential, the average specific gravity is taken as 2.25. The percent of mineral constituent like boulder, river bajari, sand also varies for different river and streams. The quantum of deposition varies from stream to stream depending upon factors like catchment lithology, discharge, river profile and geomorphology of the river course. There are certain geomorphological features developed in the river beds such as channel bar, point bar etc. where annual deposition is more even two to three meters. 3.1 Mineral Deposition : River Sutlej is the only source of mineral deposition (sand) in the district. Mineral deposition due to river Sutlej occurs as under; The loose boundary (consisting of movable material) of an alluvial channel deforms under the action of flowing water and the deformed bed with its changing roughness (bed forms) interacts with the flow. The resulting movement of the bed material (sediment) in the direction of flow is called sediment transport. Some sediment particles roll or slide along the bed intermittently and some others saltate (hopping or bouncing along the bed). Finer particles (with low fall velocities) are entrained in suspension by the fluid turbulence and transported along the channel in suspension. Sometimes finer particles from upland catchment (sizes which are not present in the bed material) are also transported in suspension. 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 has been calculated. 3.2 Mineral Potential : Based on all above considerations, the future mineral potential of

CHAPTER–4 EXISTING
MINING SCENARIO
River Sutlej is the only source of mineral deposition (sand) in the district. There is no other source of mineral extraction. Sand mining is being done in the district from inside river Sutlej. The existing sand mining scenario with details of mining leases in the district, details of production of sand in last three years is given below;

District Survey Report – 43 Jalandhar CHAPTER–5 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS PREDICTION
5.0 In the present study, the most probable impacts on various components of the surrounding environment due to the proposed activities have been predicted. The selection of the factors require due consideration to; a) The extent to which the action will cause environmental effects in excess of those created by existing uses in the area affected by it b) The absolute quantitative environmental effects of the action itself, including the cumulative harm that results from its contribution to existing adverse conditions or uses in the affected area c) The extent to which the proposed action is consistent with local development Plans
5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
5.1.1 Construction Activities
The mining activity will involve minor on-site civil construction activities during mining activity. The construction will include temporary accommodation for the labour involved in the mining activity, construction of temporary path for the movement of vehicles etc. The labour requirement will be minimal. No permanent housing of labour would be there at the mining site. To meet domestic requirement, less than 1 m3/day of fresh water will be required. Regular transportation of sand will cause minor increase in vehicular traffic in the area.
5.1.2 Local Resource Use
Mining of sand will be from river beds only. It will not require slicing of top soil layer from land. In Jalandhar, the land formation is quaternary age compression of alluvium deposits belonging to vast Indus alluvial plains. Due to sediment formation of sand with river water flow, the whole of the sand gets replenished every year due to the continuous movement of the sand particles with flow of river water. Digging of and up to 3 meters during mining operations of sand will not have any adverse impact on the local resource use/land. Mining of sand will generate some amount of dust emissions. The activities will have negative impact which needs to be balanced for environmental sound practices. District Survey Report – 44 Jalandhar 5.1.3 Generation and Disposal of Waste
The mining activity will generate some pollutants which need some treatment measures. Air emissions will be produced from burning of fuel (diesel) in vehicles serving the transportation requirements and excavation requirements of the project. Besides this, some of the agro residues would be generated from the land (local grass, sarkanda etc.) where the mining activity would be carried out. The agro residues would be regularly cleared from the site.
5.1.4 Change in Transportation Pattern
The mining sites are located nearby the village roads. The roads are primarily being used by the local inhabitants for their routine practices. Due to the proposed mining projects, there is expected to be increase in vehicular movement. It is suggested that the transportation of sand would be carried out at a time which is suitable to the local villagers. Additional suitable measures would be adopted so that the traffic movements during mining activity do not hinder the movement of the villagers of the area.
District Survey Report – 45 Jalandhar 5.2 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION
5.2.1 Mining Activities
Air quality The mining activity being very light in nature, it will have very minimal effect on atmosphere due to dust from excavation of sand. The affect will be limited to site only and in no case the RSPM in the ambient area will go beyond the applicable norms.
Water quality There will not be any effect on quality of surface water or ground water due to the mining activity. The domestic water requirement will be less than 1 m3 per day, which will be fulfilled using ground water. Natural hazards & No significant impact. geologic effects
Biological effects No significant impact.
Noise effects Though there will be some noise associated with the activities, at no stage it will be stressed beyond permissible limits.
Energy supply effects Little increase of fossil fuel consumption to supplement energy requirements. The affect is inevitable and not specific to this area/site. Hence, it has to be ignored.
Social environment The activity will be a temporary phase and will involve very short time period. Therefore, there will be no significant effect.
Economic environment The activity will generate extra job and business opportunities contributing to positive economic growth in and around the area. Thus, effects are beneficial.
Aesthetic environment No significant effect.
5.2.2 Local Resource Use
Air quality Sand mining will put some stress on air quality. But adequate measures will minimize effects well within the prescribed limits.
Water quality No significant impact.
Natural hazards & The sand mining will need slicing of top soil layer. This will alter geologic effects lithospheric character of the source area. The effect is inevitable and not specific to this area/site. Hence, it has to be ignored.
Biological effects No significant impact.
Noise effects No significant impact.
District Survey Report – 46 Jalandhar Energy supply effects No significant impact.
Social environment No significant impact.
Economic environment Generate increased business activity resulting in beneficial effects.
Aesthetic environment No significant impact.
5.2.3 Transportation
Air quality Vehicular emissions will increase marginally but its affects will be insignificant in comparison to existing scenario.
Water quality No significant impact.
Natural hazards & No significant impact. geologic effects
Biological effects No significant impact.
Noise effects Marginal increase in noise due to vehicular movement, but well within permissible limits.
Energy supply effects Increased fossil fuel requirement. The effect is inevitable and not specific to this area/site. Hence, it has to be ignored.
Social environment No significant impact.
Economic environment Generate increased business activity.
Aesthetic environment No significant impact.
5.2.4 Generation and Disposal of Wastes
Air quality The agro residues generated from the land would be collected and used as fodder for the cattle.
Water quality No significant effect.
Natural hazards & No significant effect. geologic effects
Biological effects The slicing of top layer of earth from the land would help in the reduction of impacts of pesticides which are concentrated in the top soil. Noise effects No significant effect.
Energy supply effects No significant effect.
