Notification S.O. 3611(E) Dated 25.07.2018 E] Enforcement & Monitoring Guidelines for Sand Mining 2020 DISTRICT - NASHIK MAHARASHTRA Detailed Survey Report, Nashik PREFACE With reference to the gazette notification dated 15th January 2016, ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the State environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) and State Environment Assessment Committee (SEAC) are to be constituted by the divisional commissioner for prior environmental clearance of quarry for minor minerals. The SEIAA and SEAC will scrutinize and recommend the prior environmental clearance of ministry of minor minerals on the basis of district survey report. The main purpose of preparation of District Survey Report is to identify the mineral resources and mining activities along with other relevant data of district. This report contains details of Lease, Sand mining and Revenue which comes from minerals in the district. This report is prepared on the basis of data collected from different concern departments. A survey is carried out by the members of DEIAA with the assistance of Geology Department or Irrigation Department or Forest Department or Public Works Department or Ground Water Boards or Remote Sensing Department or Mining Department etc. in the district. Minerals are classified into two groups, namely (i) Major minerals and (ii) Minor minerals. Amongst these two groups minor mineral have been defined under section 3(e) of Mines and Minerals (Regulation and development) Act, 1957. The minor minerals are further governed by. The Maharashtra Minor Minerals Rule MMME(D&R)rules2013‖.TheMinormineralsinclude building stones, Gravel, ordinary clay, ordinary sand, limestone used for lime burning, boulders, , murrum, brick earth, bentonite, road metal, slate, marble, stones used for making household utensils etc. and other minerals not defined as minor minerals in the said Act are treated as major minerals. They include coal, kyanite, sillimanite, barites, chromite, fluorite, quartz, sand used for stowing Purposes in coal mines and many other minerals used for industrial purposes. Based on the amendments made by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Government of India, in the Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 notified or amendment on 15 January 2016, the Survey document of the district Nashik. The district survey document has been prepared in accordance with the Appendix-X of the said notification. The Minerals/ rivers/streams were studied based on the following parameters excluding the hill slope mining. 4 Detailed Survey Report, Nashik DMO SIGN PAGE 5 Detailed Survey Report, Nashik OBJECTIVES The main objective of the preparation of District Survey Report (as per the Sustainable Sand Mining Guideline) is to ensure the following – Identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and Identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. Identification of mineral wealth in the district. 6 Detailed Survey Report, Nashik INDEX S.N. TITLE PAGE NO. DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT FOR SAND MINING OR RIVER BED MINING (PART-A) 1. Introduction 9 2.

It lies between 19035’ 18” North latitude to 200 53’ 07” North latitude and 730 16’ 07” East longitudes to 740 56’ 22” East longitudes. It is surrounded by Dhule district in the North, Jalgaon and Aurangabad district in the East, Ahemadnagar district in the South, Thane district in the South-West and Gujarat state in the North-West. Nashik district has an area of 15530 square km and a population is 4987923 (2001 Census). It ranks third in terms of area and fourth in terms of population amongst the district of the state. The main stream of hills in the Sahyadri which is runs north-south in the western proportion of the district. From the main Sahyadrian range, three prominent spurs Stretch out of the east. In the extreme north is the Selbari range which approximately forms the boundary between Nashik and Dhule district. Next in the Satmala and Ajanta range which runs right across the district. It acts as a watershed between the Girna and its tributaries which drain towards the Tapi to the north and the Godavari and its tributaries to the south. Some of the ranges are flat topped and regular in height and slope, while others are conical and irregular. The district is broadly divided into three major geographical regions: I) Downghat Konkan Tract, II) The Girna Basin and III) The Godavari basin. The district is drained by two main rivers, viz. Girna and the Godavari and their tributaries. The climate of the district is generally dry except during the South-West monsoon season. The average annual rainfall for the district as a whole is 1035.5 mm. Within the district there are considerable variations in rainfall. The rainfall in generally decrease as one proceeds from West to East. Temperature begins to increase rapidly from the latter half of February. May is the hottest month with the mean daily maximum temperature at 40.6°C at Malegaon and 37.4°C at Nashik. December is the coldest month with the mean daily minimum temperature at 11.3°C at Malegaon and 10.2°C at Nashik. The soil of the district is essentially derived from the Deccan Trap which is the predominant rock formation of the district. The soil formation is mainly affected by the climatic condition and topography of the district. The soil in the Godavari, Kadava, upper reaches of the Girna and the Mosam Valley is quite deep and fertile. The relief in the rest of the district is undulating and susceptible to erosion. Light shallow soil is found on hill slopes and very coarse soils at higher elevation. The territory now included in Nasik district was formerly partly in Khandesh district and partly in Ahmadnagar district. Yeola was then known as Patoda taluka. In 1837-38, parts of Ahmadnagar District consisting of Sinnar, Chandvad, Dindori, Nasik including Igatpuri and the Peint state were made into a sub-collectorate under Ahmadnagar. The sub-collectorate of Nasik was, however, abolished in 1856 and its talukas incorporated in Ahmadnagar district.
