CHAPTER 4 GEOLOGY & EXPLORATION 4.1 Regional Geological Set Up:- The general geological sequence of can be classified broadly into two fold geological sequence viz. Vindhyan and Quaternary (Pleistocene, Recent to Upper Pleistocene). The whole of the district is covered by Pleistocene to sub-recent alluvial deposits of the rivers of the Indo-Gangetic system which have traversed this area. The deposition of the alluvium commenced after the final upheaval of the Himalayas and has continued all through the Pleistocene age upto the present. The alluvium in the district consists of interbeded deposits of sand, silt and clays. At places calcarious concretions (locally known as kankar) are associated with this alluvium. Kankar is very commonly found in the alluvium and quarried. In simple language, the district is mostly covered by a thick pile of quaternary sediments. Quaternary sediment has been classified into (1) Older Alluvium and 2) Newer Alluvium. The older Alluvium is of Middle to Later Pleistocene age. Newer Alluvium of Holocene age comprises of two units (1) Terrace Alluvium and (2) Channel Alluvium. The district is poor in minerals. The general geological sequence of the formation is given below- Group Age Formation Lithology

Quaternary Recent to Upper Pleistocene. Newer Alluvium Fine Sand, Silt & Clay Upper Pleistocene to Older Alluvium Clay with Kankar and of Lower Pleistocene. different grades. Purana Pre- Cambrian Vindhyan Sand stones & Shale and Limestone

The sediments of newer alluvium are mainly arenaceous in nature and are found in topographically lower region. These sediments are loose, unconsolidated, flood plain deposits or back swamp deposits and are confined in narrow strips all along the present drainage system i.e. Rapti river comprises mainly micaceous minerals while in South-Western part along the bed of the river, the younger alluvium material resembles minerologically to older alluvium. The younger alluvium occupying extreme southern parts of the district differs in composition.

CHAPTER 5 RESERVES 5.1 Method of Estimation of Reserves:- The reserves are calculated by the following formula Volume of Soil Brick (Brick making by chimney Bhatta) = Excavable area x depth of Mine Soil Brick (Brick making by chimney Bhatta) in tones = Volume of Soil Brick x bulk density. The bulk density of the Soil Brick (Brick making by chimney Bhatta) is 1.2 tonnes per cum. Probable category reserves = Total around 3.8955 hectares area. 1.5m barrier all along boundary has been considered as barrier zone (Berm). The mineable reserves have been calculated inside the barrier zone. MINEABLE RESERVES S. No. Gata No. Total Area left Area Top Soil Extractable Geological Depth as per Area for Berm Considered (0.20m.) Quantity of Reserves Agreement (Ha) (m2) for Mining (cum) Soil (cum) (cum) (m) (m2) (1.8m) 1 6 0.3795 379 3416 683 6149 7590 2.0 2 16 1.3580 1358 12222 2444 22000 27160 2.0 3 17 1.2020 1202 10818 2164 19472 24040 2.0 4 133 0.1860 186 1674 335 3013 3720 2.0 5 594 0.4090 409 3681 736 6626 8180 2.0 6 639 0.3610 361 3249 650 5848 7220 2.0 Total 3.8955 3895 35060 7012 63108 77910 2.0 The reserve blocked under fix chimney (Gata No. 06) = 6149 cum. Hence total mineable reserve = 63108 cum – 6149 cum = 56959 cum 5.2) Anticipated Life of mine: - With the proposed average rate of production of 11392 cum per year, the life of mine would be 5 years. Practical life demands the rate of production which fluctuates with the demand of the mineral.

CHAPTER 6 DETAILS OF PROPOSED MINING 6.1) Briefly describe the existing/proposed method for developing/working the deposit with all design parameters: Existing Method of mining: It is a fresh area. Therefore no mining/excavation of Soil Brick (Brick making by chimney Bhatta) was carried out. 6.2 Proposed method of mining: It shall be open cast semi-mechanized mine. Soil shall be excavated with deployment of a machine one hire basis and when required as well as manually with conventional hand tools like spade, chisel, etc. The approach road from surface to bottom will be provided with 1 in 16 gradients. The length and depth of the road will depend on the depth of excavation. For transportation of casted bricks from proposed site to kiln, one wheel wooden cart will be utilized. Preparation of Kuchcha Bricks: Pasar: The place where Brick Chimney Bhatta is mixed with water moulding. Mould: Wooden/Iron mould of average 9” x 4.5” x 3” Size is used for making the Kuchcha brick. Prepared clay will be poured in the mould and pressed manually, than mould will be removed leaving kuchcha brick. Sun Drying: The kuchcha brick will be allowed for sun drying. There is an important step for making the adobe (Kuchchi brick). The final moisture content of the adope brick remains around 10% to 15%. c) Indicate quantum of development & tonnage & grade of production expected pit wide as in table below: Year ROM Soil Brick (Brick making by chimney Bhatta) (cum) 1st Year 11392 2nd Year 11392 3rd Year 11392 4th Year 11392 5th Year 11391 Total 56959

CHAPTER 8 DETAILS OF CONCEPTUAL PLAN 8.0 Proposal and manner of reclamation and Rehabilitation of Mined out land:- Mining affects environment in various ways including depletion of land cover, Vegetation, removal of soil, change of land scape & deposition of the solid waste product thus causing imbalance in the land scape and increasing air, water and soil pollution. As the mining activity will be progressed the overburden, rejects, tailings, talus and scree material generated will be separately stacked and no progressive mine closer plan is proposed. However it is made clear that at the end of 5 year if the availability of Brick Earth Clay will be depleted or warranted or the mineral availability will be exhausted or the excavation of Brick Earth Clay at 2 m. level will be uneconomical then the lessee shall be constrained leaving no other alternative except to close the mine finally and thereafter. The lessee shall commence the closer of mine forthwith by way of developed mine pit as an agricultural land. The farming of agricultural food is sustainable development of the human beings to enhance their socio economic condition and fulfill the needs of starvation for their livelihoods. Excavated pit will be developed as Agricultural land at depth of 2 m. from below 92 RL. There is no proposal of reclamation and Rehabilitation during next five years progressive Plan period. Backfilling in future of mined out area will be done in next scheme of mine area by manual method but it depends if the Brick Earth Clay strata continues within the Mining permissible limit.

CHAPTER 9 WASTE DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS 9.0) Waste disposal arrangements Selection of dumping site: Whatsoever quantity of mine OB generated during the quarrying operation will be stacked at the periphery of mine along the boundary. Maximum height and spread of dump: Height of dumped waste will not exceed 1.0 meter in any case. Stacking of sub-grade materials: What so ever sub grade mineral or rejected bricks generated during brick making process will be stacked at lease area. Selection of site for stacking: Rejected broken bricks will be stacked within the lease area where earth clays have been excavated till the depth of 2 meter and no further clay is allowed to be excavated so that these pits can be reclaimed. Height and spread of stacks: Height of dumped waste will not exceed 1.0 meter in any case. There is no any mine waste approx, hence not applicable. The top soil 0.20m will stack separately, and will be used for development of agricultural land. The details of year wise OB / Waste generation is given in the table given below: Year Soil / OB (cum) Total Soil / OB Removal 1st Year 1266 cum. 1266 cum. 2nd Year 1266 cum. 1266 cum. 3rd Year 1266 cum. 1266 cum. 4th Year 1266 cum. 1266 cum. 5th Year 1266 cum. 1266 cum.

9.1 Storage & preservation of top soil:- The top soil 0.20m will stack separately, and will be used for development of agricultural land. 9.2 Proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining activities during and at the time of mining:- The top soil 0.20m will stack separately, and will be used for development of agricultural land. Local tree species will be planted in the 1 m. barrier zone area. 9.3 Forest:- The area does not fall in forest area.

9.4 Measures for dust suppression:- Little dust will be generated at the time of loading & unloading of vehicles & its movements. The dust generated due to movement of trucks will be suppressed by sprinkling of water on roads continuously and regularly. 9.5 Pollution:- Since there will be no blasting, there will be no vibration due to blasting and air pollution, noise pollution will be occurred and ground vibration will be occurred due to movement of vehicle which will be minimize by dense plantation. 9.6 Vegetation:- Though there will be negligible chances of adverse effect on vegetation but new plantation is proposed a number of 100 plants which suits to the local environmental conditions may be planted in one year and proper protection will be given for survival of the plants. Since the area is barren and there is no grass etc. cattle grazing in the mining area is not possible. In view of shallow mining there is no chances cattle falling in the pits. Never the less it will be the standing instruction to the chowkidar to look after that such incidence to be avoided and not to be occur in the lease area.

Scheme of tree plantation: Top fertile soil existing in the barrier zone shall be utilized for sustainable development of trees and plantation scheme as per the financial assurance adduced with PMCP shall be ensured. 100 trees of Neem, Peepal, Bargad, Seesam & Mango will be planted all along the barrier Zone covering an area of 400m2 in one year. Details approximate distance of national park, sanctuary, Biodiversity area. Interstate boundary situated within periphery of 5 Kms from area to be sanctioned. No any national park, sanctuary, Biodiversity area. Interstate boundary situated within periphery of 5 Km. from area to be sanctioned. Effect on ground water level due to mining operation and its preventive measure: The proper and due care shall be taken in to consideration for protection of ground water. There will be proper monitoring stations in the mine premises to check the infiltration of rain water to the ground level which will administer the pollution of ground water zone. The water table is about 15 to 20 mts below general ground level i.e. RL 92 m. The water table goes down to 15 m. (77m. RL) during dry season and rises up to the 5 mts (82 m. RL) during the rainy season. The area has

. 19

TIKARIYA & SEKHUI TAPPA HALLAUR EARTHCLAY MINE (3.8955 HECTARE) CLAY DEPOSIT, MINE PLAN OF M/S STAR BRICK FIELD, SIDDHARTHNAGAR, U.P. no stream and the ground water is the only source of water. The seepage may be due to top weathered zone. Ground water available at the mine site, through borehole shall be utilized in the form of water sprinkler and the dust zone will be kept protective from environmental hazards.

Details of scheme of continuous reclamation and rehabilitation of the land degradation due to mining operation: There is no proposal of reclamation and Rehabilitation during next five year progressive Plan period. Mining affects environment in various ways including depletion of land cover, Vegetation, removal of soil, change of land scape & deposition of the solid waste product thus causing imbalance in the land scape and increasing air, water and soil pollution. As the mining activity will be progressed the overburden, rejects, tailings, talus and scree material generated will be separately stacked and no progressive mine closer plan is proposed. However it is made clear that at the end of 5 year if the availability of Brick Earth Clay will be depleted or warranted or the mineral availability will be exhausted or the excavation of Brick Earth Clay at 2 m. level will be uneconomical then the lessee shall be constrained leaving no other alternative except to close the mine finally and thereafter Details of preventative and control scheme of air and water pollution: Air Quality and its Monitoring: The quality of air in and around the quarry is good except the dust which is generated during loading/unloading. The toxic gases from the exhaust of mining machineries will be causing air pollution by SO 2, NO 2, CO, etc. These can be control by using measures to neutralize these with other chemical regents. The regular sampling, analysis of air samples to know the SPM, RPM etc. is to be adopted and measures to keep the respective levels within permissible limits. The lessee will create such environment monitoring stations within and outside lease for air in particular, water, etc. for monitoring the dust controls and pollutants. Treatment & disposal of water from Quarry: The loose Brick Earth Clay terrain has no surface water source and no streams in the lease area as per topography. The bore well data has indicated the availability of subsurface water from 15 m down. There is no processing of raw material mined and no effluents and no contamination of ground water. The only water source will be the rain waters accumulated in the working pits. In such case these accumulated clear water will be pumped out to nearby agricultural fields, used in crusher, the

TIKARIYA & SEKHUI TAPPA HALLAUR EARTHCLAY MINE (3.8955 HECTARE) CLAY DEPOSIT, MINE PLAN OF M/S STAR BRICK FIELD, SIDDHARTHNAGAR, U.P. water pumped out from one pit to another can work as Sump. These waters can be used for mine road sprinkling to suppress dust, domestic purposes, except drinking.

Provisions for separate stacking of surface soil excavated from mining operations and its utility: As the mining activity will be progressed the overburden, rejects, tailings, talus and scree material generated will be separately stacked and it shall be utilized as backfill material at the time when mine will finally be closed. Details of Social and economic up gradation of mining affected person due to proposed project: The Brick Earth Clay quarrying in the Lessee area in particular has opened up employment opportunity to the villagers. The local resident shall be given employment with a view to educate them technologically as well as labour oriented jobs in soil/clay quarries to maintain and upgrade their present socio-economic status for betterment of the livelihood of the local people. Details budgetary arrangement for environmental management: Initially Lessee proposes the following budget: Rs 10, 000/- will be spent on tree plantation and its post care management. Rs 10, 000/- will be spent on tree guards, protection covering of trees for safety. The Lessee will consult Forest Department & other allied departments for further investment for Plantation. Any other details desired to be submitted by mineral concession holder: Under the CSR activities the lessee proposes to carryout implementation of welfare scheme for physically handicraft person and other developmental activities for poor and children. i) Temporary Storage of top Soil and its Utilization: There will be 6330 top soil generated as the area is under mining and Brick Earth Clay has been exposed. However, the top waste generated during initial years of mining will be temporarily stored, preserved and used for plantation around lease boundary (Barrier zone). ii) Aforestation: As stated, there will be very less quantities of waste generated during initial years of mining activity. The same will be used for plantation. The lessee will carry out plantation of 100 nos. of sapling around lease boundary.

Local tree species will be planted in this area. Though there will be negligible chances of adverse effect on vegetation but new plantation is proposed a number of 100 plants which suits to the local environmental conditions may be planted every year and proper protection will be given for survival of the plants. Since the area is barren and there is no grass etc. cattle grazing in the mining area is not possible. In view of shallow mining there is no chances cattle falling in the pits. Never the less it will be the standing instruction to the chowkidar to look after that such incidence to be avoided and not to be occur in the lease area. The top soil will be kept on boundary line and spread as proposed earlier in this report. Plantation will be done concomitant/simultaneously with the mining operations in a phased manner as mining operation will advance year–wise. This will be done after the completion of mining operation also. Afforestation will be done in same phase manner year-wise in consultation with forest department as mentioned earlier in this report. 13.2.1 Closure Plan 13.2.2 Mined-Out Land: 13.2.3 Storage & preservation of top soil:- There is 0.20m top soil, which will be stored for development of agricultural land. This tops soil will be spread on the boundary and plantation will be done in such area where top soil will be spread on the boundary. 13.2.4 Proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining activities during and at the time of mining:- The top soil in this case is 0.20m, which will be spread on the boundary as 1m. x 1m. x 1m. ditches will be made all round the boundary and top soil will be filled up and plantation will be done in such ditches. Local tree species will be planted in this area. 13.2.5 Forest:- The area does not fall in forest area.
