Kindly scrutinize the document and consider the said project for Environmental Clearance. Thanking You, Yours Sincerely, Shri Suneel Rajak (Authorized Signatory) Sand/ Mining Near Village-Pratappur, Tehsil-Bara, Allahahbd, U.P., Lease Area 8.00 hac. Shri Suneel Raajak S/o Shri Hira Rajak, 1333,Pragatisheel Colony Road, Vijay Nursing Home, Narmda Road, Distt- Jabalpur(M.P) FILE NO-3936 Query Reply The lease area is out-site instream except for a small patch which is in northern boundary. The water line existing within the lease area is already considered out of mining area in surface plan itself and no mining will be carried out. Sand excavated during dry season from off-stream area will be replenished during monsoon when entire lease will be submerged and no mining will be carried out during monsoon. Lease area submerged in main stream Therefore the estimated sand extraction of 1,60,000cum which effect aquatic life. per year is calculated in the mine plan for the dry season only after leaving 7.5m from the water line. A image of the dry season condition is given in Figure 1 and field photographs(Annex1) are enclosed for appreciating the ground situation which is sandy area. Mining will not be carried out in the submerged area and no in stream mining will be done. Therefore, effect on aquatic life will be safeguarded. Map in this regard is attached. According to LOI the production capacity of the mine is fixed as 1,60,000 cum per year. With reference of this Geological reserve is calculated by adding 2.23% of mineable reserve. Barrier zone of 7.5 is also considered in geological plan and section. In this case maximum depth of 2 m has been considered. Geological plan and section attached with Annex 2. As per the sustainable sand mining management guideline, 2016 MOEF&CC, in the Table of Standard Environmental The geological mineable reserve is same condition of the mining, SL NO 16, it is mentioned to leave and not left any safety margin, according to 3m safety margin from the River bank should be left intact sustainable sand mining management as “no mining zone”. However, we have left 7.5m for in the guideline, 2016. Approve mining plan. Mine plan considered area available for Sand mining during dry season (site photographs attached as Annex 1 as noted during this year) and calculated the estimated sand extraction of 1,60,000cum per year only after leaving 7.5 m from the water line. In this case maximum depth of 2 m has been considered. However, in sustainable sand mining management guideline, there is a provision of take maximum depth of 3m for calculating the maximum extractable sand from the dry bed per annum Sand/ Mining Near Village-Pratappur, Tehsil-Bara, Allahahbd, U.P., Lease Area 8.00 hac.

  • Ken-Betwa Link Project
    Ken-Betwa Link Project drishtiias.com/printpdf/ken-betwa-link-project Why in News Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh signed a memorandum of agreement to implement the Ken Betwa Link Project (KBLP), the first project of the National Perspective Plan for interlinking of rivers. The two states signed a tripartite agreement with the Centre on World Water Day (22nd March) to finally implement this ambitious project. Key Points Ken Betwa Link Project (KBLP): The Ken-Betwa Link Project (KBLP) is the River interlinking project that aims to transfer surplus water from the Ken river in MP to Betwa in UP to irrigate the drought-prone Bundelkhand region. The region spread across the districts of two states mainly Jhansi, Banda, Lalitpur and Mahoba districts of UP and Tikamgarh, Panna and Chhatarpur districts of MP. The project involves building a 77-metre tall and a 2-km wide Dhaudhan dam and a 230-km canal. Ken-Betwa is one of the 30 river interlinking projects conceived across the country. The project has been delayed due to political and environmental issues. 1/3 Advantage of Interlining of Rivers: Reducing Drought: River linking will be a solution to recurring droughts in Bundelkhand region. Farmers’ Benefit: It will curb the rate of farmers suicide and will ensure them stable livelihood by providing sustainable means of irrigation and reducing excessive dependence on groundwater. Electricity Production: It will not only accelerate the water conservation by construction of a multipurpose dam but will also produce 103 MW of hydropower and will supply drinking water to 62 lakh people.

    Ganga River Basin Management Plan Interim Report September 2013 by Consortium of 7 “Indian Institute of Technology”s (IITs) IIT IIT IIT IIT IIT IIT IIT Bombay Delhi Guwahati Kanpur Kharagpur Madras Roorkee In Collaboration with IIT NIH CIFRI NEERI JNU PU NIT-K DU BHU ISI Allahabad WWF Kolkata University India • ii • Preface In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-sections (1) and (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986), the Central Government constituted the National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) as a planning, financing, monitoring and coordinating authority for strengthening the collective efforts of the Central and State Governments for effective abatement of pollution and conservation of the Ganga river. One of the important functions of the NGRBA is to prepare and implement a Ganga River Basin Management Plan (GRBMP). A Consortium of 7 “Indian Institute of Technology”s (IITs) was given the responsibility of preparing the GRBMP by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), GOI, New Delhi. A Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed between 7 IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) and MoEF for this purpose on July 6, 2010. This is the Interim “Ganga River Basin Management Plan”. The thrust of this Plan is to relate the diverse environmental degradations occurring in the basin with their causal factors, and thereby frame a roadmap for redeeming National River Ganga Basin’s Environment. The task involved different thematic groups of experts from 7 IITs and other premier organizations identifying different causal factors and assessing their impacts on the basin to synthesize the findings and recommendations in fulfillment of the important missions identified in the Plan.

  • Modeling the Efficacy of the Ganga Action Plan's Restoration of The
    Modeling the Efficacy of the Ganga Action Plan’s Restoration of the Ganga River, India By Shaw Lacy A thesis submitted In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Science Natural Resources and Environment at The University of Michigan August 2006 Thesis Committee: Professor Michael Wiley Professor Jonathan Bulkley Abstract. To combat rising levels of water pollution in the Ganges River, the Indian gov- ernment initiated the Ganga Action Plan (GAP) in 1984. After twenty years, it is a com- mon perception that the GAP has failed to achieve the goals of a cleaner river. Using available government data on pollution levels and hydrology, I undertook an of the GAP efficacy for fifteen pollution parameters across 52 water quality sampling points moni- tored by India’s Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) within the Ganga Basin. Dis- solved oxygen, BOD, and COD showed a significant improvement of water quality after twenty years. In addition, fecal and total coliform levels, as well as concentrations of cal- cium, magnesium, and TDS all showed a significant decline. Building on this analysis, a GIS analysis was used to create a spatial model of the majority of the Ganga River net- work using a reach-based ecological classification approach. Using recent GAP monitor- ing data, a multiple linear regression model of expected pollutant loads within each reach (VSEC unit) was created. This model was then used to inventory water quality across the entire basin, based on CPCB criteria. My analysis showed 208 river km were class A, 1,142 river km were class B, 684 river km were class C, 1,614 river km were class D, and 10,403 river km were class E.
