INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent Malpahari Stone Mining Project (Plot No.: 226; Khata no. 74 ) is situated near village Malpahari Police Station Pakur, District Pakur, State Jharkhand over 3 Malpahari Stone Mning Project, Pre-feasibility Report District Pakur, Jharkhand an area of 5.93 Ha. The mining lease granted in favour of M/S Madhucon Projects Ltd. Shri N. Ramesh, GM, R/o- Road no 36, High Tech City, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad 500003 The Mining Lease Deed has been executed by Agreement on 18.03.2011 between Deputy Commissioner, Dumka as first party and M/S Madhucon Projects Ltd. through Shri N. Ramesh, GM The deed has been registered on 02.04.2011 in the court of Registrar, Pakur. The proposed rate of production is 120859.59 Tonnes of Masonary Stone. The estimated project cost is Rs. 25 lakhs. The expected life of mine is 8.52 years. The life of mine may change depending upon the prospecting results, rate of production and the extent of mechanization done by the lessee in future. 2.2 Brief Information about the Project The project has been proposed for mining of 120859.59 Tonnes of Masonary Stone by opencast Mechanized method. The mine lease area is 5.93 ha. The expected life of the mine is 8.52 years. 2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region The mining project falls in the village- Malpahari Police Station Pakur, District Pakur, State Jharkhand, and the area is devoid of industrial growth. The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are dependent on agriculture. Mineral wealth of the state provides the employment opportunity to the people of the state as well as region also. Mining is one of the major core sector industries which play a crucial role in the process of country economic development. The mineral Masonary Stone finds extensive use in the construction and infrastructural works. The basic objective of the project is the effective utilization of material in the country or region. Masonary Stone is the world's most commonly used material used in making of road, railway track construction etc. Masonary Stone will help in the economic growth of the country or region. Masonary is commonly used for the construction of walls of buildings, retaining walls and buildings. Brick and concrete block are the most common 4 Malpahari Stone Mning Project, Pre-feasibility Report District Pakur, Jharkhand types of Masonary which is used in industrialized nations and may be either weight-bearing or a veneer. Concrete blocks, especially those with hollow cores, offer various possibilities in Masonary construction. They generally provide great compressive strength, and are best suited to structures with light transverse loading when the cores remain unfilled. Filling some or all of the cores with concrete or concrete with steel reinforcement (typically rebar) offers much greater tensile and lateral strength to structures. Advantages: The use of material such as bricks and stones can increase the thermal mass of a building and can protect the building from fire. Most types of Masonary typically will not require painting and so it can provide a structure with reduced life-cycle costs. Masonary is non-combustible product. Masonary walls are more resistant to projectiles, such as debris from hurricanes or tornadoes. Masonary structures built in compression preferably with lime mortar can have a useful life of more than 500 years as compared to 30 to 100 for structures of steel or reinforced concrete. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap There is large demand of Masonary stone for road, railway track, building construction etc. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production Development needs will be met only through indigenous produced Masonary stone against the high cost of imported material. 2.6 Export Possibility Project Proponent would like to sale out the mineral in domestic market only. 2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets Project Proponent would like to sale out in domestic market as per requirement. No export is proposed. 2.8 Employment Generation 5 Malpahari Stone Mning Project, Pre-feasibility Report District Pakur, Jharkhand About 28 persons will be employed along with Mine Manager, Mining Mate, Store Keeper and Chowkidar. 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of Project Including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects, If Any. The mine is over an area of 5.93 hectares. The proposed production is 120859.59 Tonnes per annum. This is an independent mining project and there are no interlinked projects involved. The project falls under Category “B2” Project or activity 1(a) as per EIA Notifications 2006, Amendment 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2016. Location Malpahari Stone Mining Project is situated near village Malpahari Police Station Pakur, District Pakur, State Jharkhand Pakur Railway Station is about 2.3 Km in North direction from Lease Area.and SH-18 (Dumka -Sahibganj Road) About 23 Km in North West direction from Lease Area.. The study of mining lease area falls in Topo-sheet numbers 72 P/14. The pillar co-ordinates of the mining lease area are: Latitude: N 24° 36’ 15.78” to 24° 36’ 33” Longitude: E 87° 49’ 33.72” to E 87° 49’ 49.13” 3.2 Details of Alternate Sites Mining is site specific so no alternative site is proposed. 3.4.1 Size or magnitude of operation The mining lease is over an area of 5.93 ha. The proposed production is 120859.59 Tonnes per annum. The average number of working days in the year would be 300. 3.5 Physiogrpahy The area falls in G.T. sheet No. 72 P/14. The topography of the area is predominantly undulating with hard rocks. The entire area has topography with small ridges and undulating terrain with rocky outgrowths. The fertility of 6 Malpahari Stone Mning Project, Pre-feasibility Report District Pakur, Jharkhand soil is poor due to extensive erosion, Basic character and low retaining capacity with granular textured stone distributed all over the region. Hilly areas consist mainly hard rock i.e. Rajmahal Traps. It is having undulating topography and slope from east to west. The entire lease area is under revenue category (industrial land). A part of the area is under mining operation. No seasonal stream or water regime is seen in this area and presence of faults and major fractures are seen in regional area. In the area joints are well exposed. The climate is tropical and is fairly hot during summer. Vegetation: The mining lease area is free from any type of vegetation only few bushes are present nearby mining lease area.
