Conclusions ......................................................................................................16 3 Introduction 1.1 Project Details The proposed Government Revenue Land sand mining is in Sy. No- 200, 201, 204, 205, 206, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218 & 219 in Junjarwad Village, Athni taluk, Belagavi district, Karnataka. The Sy. No. No- 200, 201, 204, 205, 206, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218 & 219 is proposed for ordinary sand Quarrying over an extent of 12-00 Acres (4.85 Ha). Importance of Sand:- Sand has become a very important mineral for our society due to its many uses. It can be used for making concrete, filling roads, building sites, brick-making, making glass, sandpapers, reclamations, and etc. On average, people 'use' over 200kg of sand per person per year. This sand is taken from what are essentially non-renewable resources. 1.2 Salient feature of project Name of the project Junjarwad Sand Block Name of the Applicant Sri.L. Ali P.W.D Contractor S.G.S Talkies Road, Hospete, Dist. Bellary Karnataka, 583201 Sy. No- 200, 201, 204, 205, 206, 208, 209, 210, 211, Location 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218 & 219 in Junjarwad Village, Athni taluk, Belagavi district, production capacity 34,000 tones/annum Mining method Semi Mechanized Open quarrying excavation 4 Source of water 11.24 KLD of Potable water will be sourced through Borewells of nearby village for 22 Workers. Extent of Sand Block area 12-00 Acres (4.85 Ha) Connectivity Component Description Road Dharwad to Bijapur Road SH 34 – 12.3 kms (N Rail Kudachi railway station, which is at 4034 Km NW Airport Gokak Old Airport at 68.23 kms (SW). 1.3 Location and area accessibility Details of the Area: The lease area is demarcated on the Topo-sheet No 47 P/2 & 6 of the Survey of India and enclosed vide Plate. No. 1 as Key plan. Survey District Taluk Village Area in Acres Ownership No. Belagavi Athni Limit of 200, 201, 12-00 Acres Governme Junjarwad 204, 205, (4.85 Ha). nt Revenue Village 206, 208, Land 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218 and 219 5 Existence of public road / railway line, if any nearby and approximate distance:- The License area is situated at 1.0 Km(SE) of Junjarwad village. The quarry area is 11.50 kms (SW) from Athni Taluk Head Quarters & 115.05 Km (SW) from the district head quarter Belagavi. The nearest railway station is at Kudachi, which is at a distance of 40.34 Km NW from the quarry area. The nearest airport Gokak Old Airport at 68.23 kms (SW). 1.4 Topography In the Topo sheet No. 47 P/2 & 6 where proposed quarry is located, the following topographic features can be observed. The applied quarry license area. The Government Revenue Land of Junjarwad village is having an almost Flat slope. No major roads pass through the license area. No human settlements within or in the vicinity of the lease area. The nearest village Junjarwad is at a distance of 1.0 km. The drainage pattern of the buffer zone is dendritic to sub-dendritic in nature. No perennial flow in the Government Revenue Land. Only during Monsoon and its adjoining period for about 9 months the water flows in the Government Revenue Land. Generally the quarrying will be continued during the non- monsoon period. 1.5 Estimation of reserves in the area: The Ordinary sand deposit in this Block from 2.0 metres as proved by way of trial pits as per UNFC Norms. For the purpose of Estimation of Reserves, the volume of the Ordinary sand is arrived by multiplying the plan area by the depth of the sand. Specific gravity of the ordinary sand is considered as 1.7 and then estimated the reserves by multiplying the volume by specific gravity. 6 Reserves: PROVED RESERVES / RESOURCES LENGTH OF AVERAGE AVERAGE TOTAL BULK THE SAND WIDTH OF THE DEPTH OF TOTAL VOLUME DENSITY BLOCK SAND BLOCK SAND IN QUANTITY IN TONNES BLOCK In Cu. m.

Quarrying 2.1 Proposed method of quarrying: The quality of Ordinary Sand is of medium grain size and scattered even to uneven in the applied area. The ground water saturation in the applied area is about 35-40 m depth. The depth of proposed working in applied area is about 4.0 m. Therefore, the applicant will undertake mining to a depth of 4.0 m from the surface. The identified sand block is river course & the entire area is covered by ordinary sand. During quarrying activity if any top soil extracted it will be kept aside & it will be refilled once the quarrying activity is stopped and sand up to a depth of 2.0 mts. The applicant will conduct sand mining within the lease boundary after leaving 7.5 m statutory buffer zone along the boundary.
