2.4 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region 2.4.1.1 Need for the project and importance in the country Bauxite is basically an aluminous rock containing hydrated aluminium oxide as the main constituent and iron oxide, silica and titania in varying proportions. Hydrated aluminium oxides present in the bauxite ore are diaspore and boehmite, Al2O3. H2O (Al2O3-85%; Al-45%); gibbsite or hydrargillite, Al2O3. 3H2O (Al2O3-65.4%; Al-34.6%), and bauxite (containing colloidal alumina hydrogel), Al2O3. 2H2O (Al2O3-73.9%; Al-39.1%). The iron oxide in bauxite ore is present as hematite or goethite, silica as clay and free quartz, and titania as leucoxene or rutile. Bauxite is an essential ore of aluminium and is one of the most important nonferrous metals used in the modern industry. It is also an essential ore for

refractory and chemical industries. The country has abundant resources of bauxite which can meet both domestic and export demands. 2.4.1.2 Demand and Supply Gap The production of Bauxite at 12,877 thousand tonnes in 2011-12 increased marginally as compared to the previous year. There were 155 reporting mines in 2011-12 as against 193 in the previous year. Besides, production of Bauxite was reported as associate mineral by 6 mines during the current year. In all, 71 producers reported production of Bauxite in 2011-12. Ten principal producers having 38 mines contributed 89% of the total production. 38 major mines, each producing more than 50 thousand tonnes per annum, together accounted for 92% of the total production. The contribution of the Panchpatmali Bauxite mine of NALCO was 39% of the total production. The share of public sector mines was about 44% of the total production in 2011-12 and the same was 45 per cent in the previous year. About 56 % of the total production of Bauxite was of grade 40-45%, 26 % was of grade below 45-50% Al2O3 grade, 9% was of below 40% Al2O3 grade, 3% was of Cement grade, 2% was of 50-55% Al2O3 grade and one percent in Abrasive, Refractory & Others grades. Nominal production of less than one percent was reported in 55 % to below 60% Al2O3 and Chemical grade during the year under review. Odisha emerged as the leading producing state accounting for about 39% of the total production. Next in the order of production were Chhattisgarh (18%), Maharashtra (15 %), Jharkhand (14 %), Gujarat (7%), Madhya Pradesh (5%) and remaining 2 % was produced by Goa, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Mine- head stocks at the end of 2011-12 were 7,988 thousand tonnes as compared to 9,404 thousand tonnes at the beginning of the year. About 92% of total stock was held in Gujarat at the end of the year. The average daily employment of labour in Bauxite mines was 7,028 in 2011-12 as against 7,851 in the previous year. It has always been seen that in the cases i. e. for Bauxite there remains a demand and supply gap as demand is always high in respect of supply. (Source: Indian Mineral Year Book 2012) 2.4.1.3 Imports V/s indigenous production The country has large resources of bauxite, occupying the sixth place in the world’s total resources. The resources of metallurgical grade bauxite are quite adequate while those of the chemical and refractory grade bauxite are relatively limited considering the future requirements. That’s why it is necessary to import bauxite of this grade.The quantity and value of import of bauxite is given in the following table: Year Quantity (Thousand Kg.)

4.7 Soil classification: Top soil within the mines will be removed completely due to mining activities. It is also expected that nearby area may be affected due to deposition of dust from various mining activities such as loading and unloading operations and vehicular movement. During rainy season the wash-off and run-off of OB dump may cause siltation in low lying areas. No toxic contamination is present in the solid waste to be generated. Hence the soil quality in the buffer zone is not expected to be adversely affected due to mining operation. The present land use of the core-zone i.e. mining lease area is waste land with no forest cover. Hence every impact on land use will be positive in future by way of afforestation or water reservoir. Simultaneous backfilling will be done in excavated and exhausted portion of the quarry. In buffer zone no adverse impact is envisaged as all mining activities will be restricted to the core zone only

4.8 Climatic data from Secondary Sources: 4.8.1.1 Climatic Conditions (30 years IMD Data) The study area is part of tropical monsoon climate with long humid summer and short winters.

There are other mines running in nearby areas, and local villagers are already working in the bauxite mines. The education level of the area is very low and most of the people are illiterate. As in the bauxite mining, skilled and unskilled labours are required in good number for manual breaking and sorting work. Therefore, bauxite mines give ample opportunity for employment of local people; thereby their earning will improve due to continuous employment in the mine with better wage rate. Their increase of earning will definitely help in improving the education, health and living standard of the villagers 6.5 Connectivity (Traffic and transportation Road/Rail/Metro/Water ways etc) The lease area is about 1.5 km NE of Village Pathrai. The area is connected to village Pathrai by Unmettalled Road. The lease area is connected by tar road to Tehsil sitapur which is 20 km away. The nearest Railway Station is Ambikapur Railway Station at about 60 Km NNW directions from the project site. 6.6 Drinking Water Management (Source & supply of water) Water required for drinking and domestic purpose will be about 6.7 KLD by will be sourced from the nearby villages. 6.7 Sewerage System A Sewage system of Septic Tanks followed by soap pits shall be provided for the project area. 6.8 Industrial Waste Management 6.8.1.1 Solid waste Management The waste rocks found in the area overburden varying in thickness over the mineral bed. Bulk density of bauxite has been taken as 2.3, top soil 1.7 and laterite & waste is 2.0. Top soil and OB will be stored separately. Retaining wall will be constructed to protect the wash out of the top soil and over burden dump. The mined out area will be backfilled by the generated OB and waste, levelled by dozer and then the top soil will be spread on the entire backfilled levelled area for future plantation. Thus, no permanent dumping is required 6.8.1.2 Power Requirement Electric power supply does not exist at mine site and it is proposed to take connection.
