LOCATION MAP

1- INTRODUCTION The Bemetara district is one of the newely formed district of Chhattisgarh states, which formed on 1st January 2012 from the separation of Durg District. The District is moderately populated and situated in the central part of the Chhattisgarh State covers an area of 2854.81sq km. It falls in Survey of India Degree Sheet Nos. 64F and 64G bounded by latitude 21°22' to 22°03' N and longitude 81°07' to 81°55 E. It is surrounded by Durg districts in the south, Rajnandgaon&Kabirdham District in the west, Mungeli districts in the north and Baloda-bazar & Raipur district in the East.

Bemetara is the district headquarters and is well connected by road and railway. National Highway No. 12A and connects Bemetara with Kabirdham. Bemetara is also connected by road with Raipur, Baloda-Bazar, Kabirdham and Durg with the other important towns in the district.

District survey report has been prepaired as per notification no. s.o. 3611(e) New Delhi, 25th july, 2018 of ministry of environment, forest and climate change.

District Survey report will be prepared in every district for Sand mining or River bed mining and other small minerals mining. The main purpose of preparation of district survey report is to identify the land increase or depositional areas and its infrastructure, Structure and installation distance from where the mining is prohibited and recalculation of annual replenishment and time required for replenishment after mining.

This District Survey report contains mainly Geology Mineral wealth details of rivers, Details of Lease and Mining activity in the District along with Sand mining and revenue of minerals.

This report also contains details of Forest, Rivers, Soil, Agriculture, Road, Transportation climate etc.

The district survey report will be based for evaluation of the application for project and environment clearance of mining activity in the district.

6. PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS

Sendimentation of rivers of District

6- Process of river sedimentation:- What is erosion? Erosion is natural process, wathering, corrosion, or abrasion can reduce a material into smaller particles. Normally, these smaller units are relocated by water, wing, ice, or man. Erosion removes tosoil, organic material, and other valuable resources.

What is sedimentation? Once a material is broken free of the larger mass, it can be carried away and deposited elsewhere. This process of depositing eroded material is known as sedimentation. Some indications of sedimentation are sand dunes, mud in the street around drains, and decreased water holding capacity of stream, reservoir, or pond.

Why should we be concerned about erosion and sedimentation? Sediment is responsible for more stream and river degardation than any other pollutant. Deposits of sediments in ditches, streams, and rivers reduce their capacity to store water resulting in more frequent and severe flooding and increased property damage. Accumulations of sediment may result in severe damage to storm drain systers. Many millions of dollars are spent each year to dredge our state waterways, to remove sediments from storm drain systems, reseroirs, and water treatment plants, and to repair flood damage.

Sediment in streams and rivers causes the most damage to aduatic life by severely impacting aquatic animal habitats and degrading water quality. Areas needed for reproduction and food sources are destroyed when fine silts cover the sand and gravel streambed. Decreased clarity of the water prevents sunlight from reaching plants resulting in loss of aquatic plant communities. The result is a reduction in the number and variety of fish and other aquatic life. This impact ofter can see for many miles downstream.

Process- Rivers have a lot of energy and because they have energy, they do stuff. The obvious things rivers do with their energy is flow but, besides this, they also transport load, erode load and erode the channel through which they flow. Erosion is the breaking down of material by an agent. In the case of a river, the agent is water. The water can erode the river’s channel and the river’s load. A river’s load is bits of eroded material, generally rocks, which the river transports until it deposits its load. A river’s channel is eroded laterally and vertically making the channel wider and deeper. The intensity of lateral and vertical erosion is dictated by the stage in the river’s course, discussed in more detail here but essentially, in the upper stage of the river’s course (close to the source of the river) there is little horizontal erosion and lots of vertical erosion. In the middle and lower stages vertical erosion is reduced and more horizontal erosion takes place. There are several different ways that a river erodes its bed and banks. The first is hydraulic action, where the force of the water removes rock particles from the bed and banks. This type of erosion is strongest at rapids and waterfalls where the water has a high velocity. The next type of erosion is corrasion. This is where the river’s load acts almost like sandpaper, removing pieces of rock as the load rubs against the bed & banks. This sort of erosion is strongest when the river is transporting large chunks

of rock or after heavy rainfall when the river’s flow is turbulent. Corrosion is a special type of erosion that only affects certain types of rocks. Water, being ever so slightly acidic, will react with certain rocks and dissolve them. Corrosion is highly effective if the rock type of the channel is chalk or limestone (anything containing calcium carbonate) otherwise, it doesn’t have much of an effect. Cavitation is an interesting method of erosion. Air bubbles trapped in the water get compressed into small spaces like cracks in the river’s banks. These bubbles eventually implode creating a small shockwave that weakens the rocks. The shockwaves are very weak but over time the rock will be weakened to the point at which it falls apart. The final type of erosion is attrition. Attrition is a way of eroding the river’s load, not the bed and banks. Attrition is where pieces of rock in the river’s load knock together, breaking chunks of rock off of one another and gradually rounding and shrinking the load. Transportation when a river erodes the eroded material becomes the river’s load and the river will then transport this load through its course until it deposits the load. There are a few different ways that a river will transport load depending on how much energy the river has and how big the load is. The largest of particles such as boulders are transported by traction. These particles are rolled along the bed of the river, eroding the bed and the particles in the process, because the river doesn’t have enough energy to move these large particles in any other way. Slightly smaller particles, such as pebbles and gravel, are transported by saltation. This is where the load bounces along the bed of the river because the river has enough energy to lift the particles off the bed but the particles are too heavy to travel by suspension. Fine particles like clay and silt are transported in suspension; they are suspended in the water. Most of a river’s load is transported by suspension. Solution is a special method of transportation. This is where particles are dissolved into the water so only rocks that are soluble, such as limestone or chalk, can be transported in solution. Capacity & Competence Rivers

can only carry so much load depending on their energy. The maximum volume of load that a river can carry at a specific point in its course is called the river’s capacity. The biggest sized particle that a river could carry at a specific point is called the river’s competence. Deposition to transport load a river needs to have energy so when a river loses energy it is forced to deposit its load. There are several reasons why a river could lose energy. If the river’s discharge is reduced then the river will lose energy because it isn’t flowing as quickly anymore. This could happen because of a lack of precipitation or an increase in evaporation. Increased human use (abstraction) of a river could also reduce its discharge forcing it deposit its load. If the gradient of the river’s course flattens out, the river will deposit its load because it will be travelling a lot slower. When a river meets the sea a river will deposit its load because the gradient is generally reduced at sea level and the sea will absorb a lot of energy. As rivers get nearer to their mouths they flow in increasingly wide, gentle sided valleys. The channel increases in size to hold the extra water which the river has to receive from its tributaries. As the river gets bigger it can carry larger amounts of material. This material will be small in size, as larger rocks will have broken up on their way from the mountains. Much of the material will be carried in suspension and will erode the river banks by abrasion. When rivers flow over flatter land, they develop large bends called meanders. As a river goes around a bend most of the water is pushed towards the outside causing increased erosion. The river is now eroding sideways into its banks rather than downwards into its bed, a process called lateral erosion. On the inside of the bend, in contrast, there is much less water. The river will therefore be shallow and slow-flowing. It cannot carry as much material and so sand and shingle will be deposited. This is called a point bar or slip off slope Due to erosion on the outside of a bend and deposition on the inside, the shape of a meander will change over a period of time. Notice how erosion narrows the neck of the land

within the meander. In time, and usually during a flood, the river will cut right through the neck. The river will then take the new, shorter route. The fastest current, called the thalweg, will now tend to be in the centre of the river, and so deposition is likely to occur in gentler water next to the banks. Eventually deposition will block off the old meander to leave an oxbow lake. The oxbow lake will slowly dry up, only refilling after heavy rain or during a flood. Streams lose velocity and make deposits when their gradient decreases, when the volume of water decreases, when there is an increase in cross section, when they encounter obstructions, or when they enter still water. They deposit alluvial fans, alluvial cones, piedmont alluvial plains, channel fill, bars, flood plains and deltas.

7. General Profile of the District

Bemetara city is well connected to Raipur, Jabalpur, Bilaspur, Durg and Kawardha by roadways.NH-30 passes through the heart of city which is one of the buissiest road in the state.This highway connects state capital Raipur to one of the major city of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur.There are two state highway passing through Bemetara that are Durg to Bemetara and Kumhari - Bemetara – Mungeli. History: Comparatively a new district in Chhattisgarh, India, Bemetara district was established as tahsil in the year 1907 along with This region is coloured by ever- widening importance in history since the time it had been established. However, it is largest town amongst other town in the scenario of land and population. Owing to its suitability to being a district of Chhattisgarh, it had to wait to call upon since Kawardha has integrated. Conversely, the Chhattisgarh government has realised its importance in central CG. Bemetara is an attractive tourist destination as villages like Bataar, Mohbhatta and Khamhariya are famous for their temples and lakes.

Survey Report for Sand Mining of District Bemetara

This survey report is prepared for District Bemetara to identify the sustainable mining area. In District Bemetara there are six rivers namely Shivnath, Kharun, Haff, Sakari, Surahi&Phonkriver. All possible sand mining area has been surveyed. The riverwise area surveyed and identified for sand mining is given in the annexure. The thickness of sand load is considered average 4 meters in depth by observation as well as local enquiry out of which up to depth of 3 meter is considered for calculation of mineral potential. The mining area will be 10m. away from the river bank and about 10m. Influence as safity barrier from the main streem will be left, where mining operation will be restricted. Hence 10 m. influence area from the main stream has been considered as safity zone or non mining zone. It is considered that replenishment of sand in every monsoon season is a regular process. Based on the last five year observation, it is experienced that average of 3m. sand is replenished every year.
