2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE OF PROJECT This is a proposed Masonry Stone mining project. As per EIA Notification dated 14 th Sep, 2006 and as amended till date, the project falls under general category as interstate boundary between Rajasthan and Haryana falls within 10 Km from the mining lease area hence the project will be appraised as, Category “A” at MoEF New Delhi. It has been proposed to excavate approximately 50,000 TPA of Masonry Stone from M.L. No. 135/02, by open - cast, semi - mechanized method. The lease area is 1.0 ha. Total mineable reserve available is 487374 MT of Masonry Stone mineral. The expected life of mine is 10 years. Overburden Waste & mineral reject generated during the five year plan period will be 300 cum & 13608 cum respectively. The Masonry Stone will be transported through dumpers. At the end of life of mine, total excavated area will be 0.7225 ha which will be converted as water reservoir and 0.2775 Ha area proposed plantation . The daily water demand during the operation phase will be 4.50 KLD. The daily water demand during operation phase will be 4.50 KLD water demand will be met from the nearby village pond (desolation and impoundment will be carried out by P.P.). On one hand this will recharge the ground water table on the other will act as a water source for nearby habitants. Only water for drinking purposes i.e. 0.17 KLD will be brought from nearby dug well/PHED. However, rain water stored in the pit during the rainy season will be used for plantation and dust suppression. The general ground water table in the area is about 50 m below general ground level. Thus ground water table will not be encountered during working in the mine.

5.3 LAND USE PLANNING The sapling for plantation for green belt development will be selected based on less water availability in the region and according to climatic condition and hence it is proposed to plant 27 saplings per year. The plantation will be done at the lease boundary and outside the lease area. Year- wise programme of green belt development for five years, about 135 saplings will be planted in an area of 0.33 ha. Up to the conceptual phase 135 saplings will be planted. Green belt development will improve the eco-system and aesthetic beauty of the area. Post plantation care will be taken such as provision for watering, soil mulching manure supply to plants etc these activities will be taken up for plants. The list of the species to be planted in the green belt is provided below:- Table 5-2: Green belt Programme Year Area (ha.)

5.4 ASSESSMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEMAND (PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL) The mine area is easily accessible from the state highway by NH-8 which is~13.47 km in NW direction from the mine site &, SH-52 which is~6.0 km in SE direction from the mine site. These state highways will be helpful for approach of workers to the mine site as well as transportation of mineral to the nearby areas and end users. Ajaraka Railway Station is 5.17 Km towards West direction from the mine site. The infrastructure demand in the villages will be evaluate on the basis of necessity and priority. Job opportunities are inadequate and new possibility for income generation is required.

6 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE 6.1 INDUSTRIAL AREA The area is well connected by road network to the mines, District headquarter etc. The area is self-sufficient to supply the needs of the project. Hence no, infrastructure is proposed.

6.2 RESIDENTIAL AREA (NON PROCESSING AREA) The local people will be employed, hence no residential area/ housing is proposed.

6.3 GREEN BELT Refer point no. 5.3.

6.4 SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE The proposed project is situated at Village – Khohara Thakaran, Tehsil- Kotkasim, District- Alwar (Rajasthan). As local people will be employed for excavation activities, no permanent infrastructure is required. The workers will come to the site by company’s vehicle. By this project, indirect means of earnings in the area will be developed, which will bring a positive impact on the adjacent habitation.

6.5 CONNECTIVITY Given in Para No. 4.0.

6.6 DRINKING WATER MANAGEMENT (SOURCE & SUPPLY OF WATER) The total water requirement for the proposed activity is 4.50 KLD out of which 4.50 KLD will be met from the nearby village pond (desolation and impoundment will be carried out by P.P.). On one hand this will recharge the ground water table on the other will act as a water source nearby habitants. Only water for drinking purposes i.e. 0.17 KLD will be brought from nearby dug well/PHED. However, rain water stored in the pit during the rainy season will be used for plantation and dust suppression. The proposed indigenous water source created by the project proponent will fulfill the water demand of local habitants.
