Mining plan & Enyironmental Management plan is prepared for The public Executive Engineer, Works Department, WRD, Mines and Monitoring Division, CE's Region Compound, Subramaniapuram, Tiruchirappalli _ 20. 2. Tamilnadu Public works department establish periodical maintenance including desalting of Sand shoals of the river is caried out to maintain the functional efficienry and carying capacity of the river, desilting was never carried out flowing problem caused in the riverbed top floor level increased and decrease the river carrying capacity as result River flow direction diverted leads to loss properties many and lives. To prevent above problem is desilting of shoals of River Coleroon to remove, it is not economical viable altemately option is to mine sand and remove the Sand shoals is reasonable. per 3. As c.O No. 46/industries (MMCI) Departmen! dated 2S.Og.2OO2, committee had been constituted to conduct a survey of rivers and river beds in the state with reference to sand quarry. The committee concluded tha! Even though several rules on sand mining exist, illegal quarrying of sand is out of control.

Authority for regulating sand mining is vested with different organization such as, State Geolo$./ and Mining Departmen! Revenue Department and public Works Department. Hence, implementation and monitoring of rules and regulation regarding sand quarrying are not effective. This important task of sand mining tlerefore, should be entrusted to a Single Agency. 4. The Government issued an order vide G.O.Ms.No. 95, industries (MMC1) Departmen! Dt.01.10.2003 to operate sand quarries in Tamil Nadu by public Works department. Accordingly, sand quarrying operations are being carried out from October 2003 in Districts of the Tamil Nadu. Hence this project of removing ofsand for maintains the functional efficiency of River Coleroon and its carrying capacity. $ 5, The Government issued the G.O. (D) No. 67/tndustries (MMC dated 11.03.2011, the Dist ct Collectors have been authori permission for usage of Machinaries in sand quarry operation Tamirabarani Rivers.

6. The covernment has issued an order in G.O. No. (2D) 21 Indust es Department Dated. 02.06.2017 in which the Government had removed the powers to grant the deploy.rnent ofmachineries in sand quarry operations and the competent authority ie.,SEIM will decide the sufficient number of machineries in sand quarry

operations after the Minisfy of Environment and Forest, Notification Dated 15.01.2016 under Sec 3(2J ofthe Environment protection AcL

8. The application was processed by the District Collector Tiruchirappalli and passed an order vide Rc.No.27t/2077 /Mines, Dated 20.06.2017 to obtain an approved Mining Plan and Environmental Clearance from the State Level Environment ImpactAssessmentAuthority [SEIM], . 9.

13 e). Existence ofPublic road / Railway line, if any nearby and tq $\\ approximate distance:

. To approach the lease area from the river bank, which is normally 4 tri

Height from the river bed, it is necessary to lay a ramp. . From this ramp, for the movement of Trucks on the river bed, bio-degradable

pathway with sand and bio-degradable materials (Sugar Cane leaves etc.,J in a grid pattern is necessary to maintain a uniform level from the ver bed to approach the sand shoals,

. On an average the pathways are 2 to 3 Meters height from the existing river bed. . Since, the level difference between river bed and height of the Truck is nearly 4 Meters; deployment oflabourers is not feasible from the river bed. . Poclains are suitable to deploy for loading ofsand into trucks in these conditions. Manual mining and loading on the Trucks ftom the river bed is risky and hazardous

. There is an existing road running parallel to the banks ofthe river which leads to Melur to Srirangam villages on Southeastern side ofthe area. . The Nearest Railway station is Muttarasanallur which connects the line between

Karur - Tiruchirappalli about 2,0 km on the Southeastern side ofthe area.

6.0 MINING l D. Method of Mining (Opencast / underground)r The soil is being removed by using Excayators/poclains {0.90m3 bucket Capacity], the sand is direcdy loaded into Tippers/Trucks. The sand shoals either continuously or intermittently in the length and breadth of the river, the sand shoals on the river bed causes huge ups and downs along the length and breadth ofthe river.

Hence, by deploying the manual Labours to directly load the sand from river bed into the Tippers/Trucks, which is 10 to 1S feet height, is not feasible one. The Deployment of earth moving Machinaries in the river bed is absolutely necessary for considering the above ground reality,

Person operating quarries possess good knowledge of the Theoretical river bed ),evel. No drilling or blqsting is proposed for this We of sand quarrying, it is a c onv enti o n ql e c o -fr ie ndly qu qrry in g op era ti on.

After that the loaded vehicles are allowed to go out after covering the sand load properly wit.lt tarpaulin to avoid any spillage. . The drivers stricdy instructed to moye the vehicle below 20Km inside the Iease and 40Km during transportation. !

The sand is being loaded directly to the Tippers/Trucks for transportation to the Pwd stoclryard point area only. r Initiallyto approach the quarying site a temporary road was formed by using sand mixed with Bio-degradable materials and formed a grit around the sand quarrying site to move the vehicle easily. . During forming the approach road and g t, necessary tempomry pipes provided wherever necessary for free flow ofwater in to downstream. . Roads in the lease area for the movement ofloaded Tippers/Trucks will not have

slopes more than 1 in ZO. . However, movement ofTippers/Trucks after mineral loading will be towards both sides through approach roads connectingto tar roads. . Lease area already has approach roads, well connected to main highways. . No processing ofmineral is being done within the lease area.

The following c.O's was amended to quarrying sand by using machineries, . As per the G.O.MS.NO.I9 Industries IMMC 1J Department dated 19.04.2014 amended Rule 36-A ofTamilnadu Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1959. . In the said Rules, in Rule 36-A, for Sub- rule [6) the following sub _ rule substituted "[6) No machinery shall be used for quarrying sand from river beds, except with the permission of the Secretary to Government, Industries Deparhnent or qny other
