With reference to the gazette notification dated 15th January 2016, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the District- Environment Impact Assessment·Authority (DEIAA) and District• Environment Assessment Committee (DEAC) are to be constituted by the Divisional Commissioner for prior environmental clearance of quarry for minor minerals. The DEIAA and DEAC 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'rninerals. 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) rules 2013". The Minor minerals include building stones, Gravel, ordinary clay, ordinary sand, limestone used for lime burning, boulders, rnururn, 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 an amendment on 15 January 2016, to which the Central Government makes the amendments by Notification dated 25th July 2018. The district survey document has been prepared in accordance, with the Appehdix-X of the said notifications. The Minerals/ rivers/streams were studied based on the following parameters excluding the hill slope mining.
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;
.:. 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.
7 GUIDELINES FOR MINING OF MINOR MINERALS
The mining operations for minor minerals were carried out in unscientific manner in Maharashtra since t~ere were no guidelines for extraction of minor mineral. Identifying this fact In exercise of powers conferred by Section 15 of Mines & Minerals (Development & Regulation) Act, 1957 (67 of 1957) and of all other powers enabling it in that behalf, the Revenue & Forest Department, Government of Maharashtra framed the Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction (Development and Regulation) Rules, 2013. Since Prior Environmental Clearance has now become mandatory for mining of minor minerals irrespective of the area of mining lease after the matter of Deepak Kumar etc. Vs. State of Haryana and Others as per Hon'ble Supreme Court dated 27th February, 2012 in I.A. No.12-13 of 2011 in Special Leave Petition (C) NO.19628-19629 of 2009, Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF& CC) had issued Office Memorandum No. L:-1I01I/47/2011~IA.1I(M) dated 18th May 2012; henceforth as per this O.M. all mining projects of minor minerals would require prior environmental clearance irrespective of the lease area. Mining projects with Lease area less than 5 hector are categorized as category 'B2' and projects' with lease area 5 hector and above and less than 50· hector are categorized as . category 'B' whereas projects with lease area of 50 ha and above are categorized as category 'A'. Policy on Environmental Clearance for mining leases in cluster for minor minerals in the matter of sand mining was directed by the Hon'ble National Green Tribunal (NGT); vide its order dated 13th January, 2015 and also S.0.3977 (E) notification dated 14th Aug 2018 by Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
The Central Government had constituted the District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (D.E.I.A.A.), for grant of Environmental Clearance for Category "B2" Projects for mining of minor minerals, for all the districts in the country as per the latest amendment S.O. 141
(E) & S.0.190(E) dated 15th January, 2016 & 20th January, 2016 in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) and in pursuance of the notification of the Government of India in the erstwhile Ministry of Environment and Forest number S.O. 1533 (E), dated the 14th September: Direction for preparation of District Survey Report for Sand Mining or River Bed Mining of other Minor Minerals was made in the Notification dated 15th January 2016 and its amendments dated 25th July 2018 by MoEF&CC along with detailed procedure & format for preparation of District Survey Report. To make certain identification of areas of aggradations or depositions where mining can be allowed and identifying areas of erosion rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area is the foremost objective of the preparation of District Survey Report.
8 1. INTRODUCTION Hon'ble Supreme Court of India dated 27thFebruary,2012 in I.A. No.12-13 of 2011 in Special Leave Petition (C) NO.19628-19629of 2009, in the matter of Deepak Kumar etc. Vs. State of Haryana and Others etc., prior environmental clearance has made mandatory for mining of minor minerals.irrespectiveof the area of mining lease. Accordingly, Ministry,of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF& 'CC) had issued Office Memorandum No. Ll101l/47/2011- IA.II(M) dated 18thMay 2013. As per this O.M. all mining projects of minor minerals would henceforthrequireprior EnvironmentalClearanceirrespectiveof the lease area. The stone quarry and sand quarrying projects need environmentalclearance as per the MoEF guidelines and such pg. 47 projects are treated as Category 'B' even if the lease area is less than 5 Ha. Subsequently,various amendmentswere made as regardsto obtain environmental clearanceof the minor minerals. The Hon'ble National Green Tribunal, vide its order dated the 13thJanu~ry,2015 in the matter . regardingsand mining has directed for making a policy on environmenfalclearancefor mining leases in clusterfor minor minerals. As per the latest amendment S.O. 141 (E) & S.0.190(E) dated 15th January 2016 & 20thJanuaryin exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment(Protection)Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) and in pursuanceof notification of Ministry of Environment and Forest number S.O. 1533 (E), dated the 14thSeptember,2006 the Central Government had constituted the District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority. (DEIAA), for grant of EnvironmentalClearance for Category 'B2' Projects for mining of minor minerals, for all the districts in the country. But later on Hon. NGT, vide its order dated 13th Sept.2018,stated that for 0-5 Ha areas also recommendationof grant EC by SEIAA instead of DEAC/DEIAA' The MoEF&CCin its Notification dated 15thJanuary 2016 has prescribedPreparationof District Survey Report for Sand Mining or River Bed Mining and Mining of other.Minor Minerals. A detailed procedure and format for preparationof District Survey Report is provided in the said Notification.

10 2. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT
The Godavari, Manjra and Sina are the major river that drains the district along with their tributaries. The River Manjra & Sina has very less watershed area in the Beed. The major part of the district comes under Godavari basin. The Godavari River flows in the border of two Districts. The River generally run dry during the hot weather, but holds water during the greater part of the year and is utilized for irrigation. The Godavari contributes a major potentiality of sand mining along which about three Taluka has been notified. The sand spots are from various villages & parts of three Taluka's. The notified sand spots are kept for online e• tendering &. e-auction & given short term Mining, permits as per state government sand extraction policy dated 03.01.2018 in these areas at different villages. In Beed district as per the geology of area only minor minerals are present especially basalt rock, river sand & ordinary earth. Major Sand mining mostly occurs in Godavari River in district, at some places the excavation of ordinary earth takes place for the production of Bricks, The stone metals are mined mostly from the private land stone quarry. The stone quarry permits issued according to the Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction (Development and Regulation) Rule 2013. These minor mineral are used as a buildinq material. The rnaiorpart of the Minor Minerals Revenue is . generated from Sand mining & Stone Quarries. 2.1 Main Objective s of Sustainable Sand Mining:
.:. To ensure that sand and gravel mining is done in environmentally sustainable and socially responsible manner. .:. To ensure availability of adequate quantity of aggregate in sustainable manner.
.:. To improve the effectiveness of monitoring of mini.ng and transportation of mined out material. " .:. Ensure conservation of the river equilibrium and its natural environment by protection and restoration of the ecological system . •:. Avoid aggradations at the downstream reach especially those with hydraulic structures such as jetties, water intakes etc . •:. Ensure that the rivers are protected from bank and bed erosion beyond its stable profile .
•:. No obstruction to the river flow, water transport and restoring the riparian rights and in stream habitats . •:. Avoid pollution of river water leading to water quality deterioration. To prevent depletion of ground water reserves due to excessive draining out of ground water.
'.:. To prevent ground water pollution by prohibiting sand mining on fissures where it works as filter prior to ground water recharge. .
.:. To maintain the river equilibrium with the application of sediment transport principles in determining the locations, period and quantity to be extracted . •:. Streamlining and simplifying the process for grant of environmental clearance (EC) for sustainable mining. 21 locations of sand ghats over Godavari River whete sand deposition took place from replenishment.

Under this guideline, we have prepared the all sand ghat. 6.1 INTRODUCTION: The Ministry of Environment Forest & Climate Change formulated the Sustainable Sand Management Guidelines 2016" which focuses on the rylanagement of Sand Mining in the Country. But in the recent past, it has been observed that apart from management and systematic mining practices there is an urgent need to have a guideline for effective enforcement of regulatory provision and their monitoring. Section 23 C of MMDR, Act 1957 empowered the State Government to make rule's for preventing illegal mining, transportation and storage of minerals. But in the recent past, it has been observed that there was large number of illegal mining cases-in the Country and in some cases, many of the officers lost their lives while executing their duties for curbing illegal mining incidence. The illegal and uncontrolled illegal mining leads to loss of revenue to the State and degradation of the environment. . , India isdevelopinq at a faster pace and much technological ,advancement has already been taken place in the surveillance and remote monitoring in the field of mining. Thus, it is prudent to utilize the technoloqieal advancement for the effective monitoring of the mining activities particularly sand minin,gin the country. Use of latest remote surveillance and IT services helps in effective monitoring of the sand mining activity in-country and also assist the government in controlling the illeqal mining activity in the country. Thus, there is a need for an effective policy for monitoring of sand mining in the Country which can be enforced on the ground. These guidelines focus on the effective monitoring of the sand mining since from the identification 'of sand mineral sources to its dispatch and end-use by consumersand the general public. Further, the effective monitoring and enforcement require efforts 15 from not only Government agencies but also by consumers and the generaJ public. It is the responsibility of every citizen of India to protect the environment and effective monitoring can only be possible when all the stakeholders' viz. Central Government, State Government, Leaseholders/Mine Owners,' Distributors, Dealers, Transporters and Consumers (bulk & retail) will . contribute towards sustainable' mining, and comply with all the statutory provisions. It is felt necessary to identify the minimum requirements across all geographical region to have a uniform . protocol for monitoring and enforcement of regulatory provision prescribed for sustainable sand and . gravel mining. This document will serve as' a guideline for collection of critical information for enforcement of the regulatory provision(s) and also highlights the essential infrastructural requirements necessary for effective monitoring for Sustainable Sand Mining. The document is prepared in consideration of various orders/directions issued by Hon'ble I\!GT in matters pertaining to illegal sand mining and also based on the reports submitted by expert committees and investigation teams. Further, this document is supplemental to the existing "Sustainable Sand. Mining Management Guideline-2016i' (SSMG-2016), and these two guidelines viz. "Enforcement & Monitoring Guidelines for Sand Mining" (EMGSM-2020) and SSMG-2016 shall be read and implemented in sync with each other. In case, any ambiguity or variation between the provisions of both these document arises, the provision made in "Enforcement & Monitoring Guidelines for Sand Mining-2020 "shall prevail. 6.2 OBJECTIVE OF GUIDELINES: ../ Identification and Quantification of Mineral Resource and its optimal utilization . ../ . To.regulate the Sand & Gravel Mining in the Country since its identification to its final end-use by the consumers and the general public. ../ Use of IT-enabled services & latest technologies for surveillance of the sand mining at each. step. ~ Reduction in demand & supply gaps . ../ Setting up the procedure for replenishment study of Sand. ../ Post Environmental Clearance Monitoring . ../ Procedure for Environmental Audit. ../ To control the instance of illegal mining. 6.3 REQUIREMENTS FOR MONITORING & ENFOCEMENT: Sustainable Sand Mining Management Guidelines (SSMMG) 2016 and past experience suggest that the sources of sand in lndia are through a River (riverbed and flood plain), b. Lakes and reservoirs, c. Agricultural fields, d. Coastal/marine sand, e. Palaeo-channels and 16 f Manufactured Sand (M-Sand). The SSMMG-2016 highlights the identification of the sand mining sources, replenishment of the River Bed Material (Sand, Boulder, Gravel, and Cobble etc.), preparation of Districts Survey Report, and Standard Environmental Conditions suitable for sand mining projects. The necessary requirements to comply with the direction of Hon'ble NGT and to facilitate effective' monitoring and enforcement of regulatory provision for sand mining in the'country are as follows: I. Identification of sand mining sources, its quantification and feasibility for mining considering various environmental (proximity of protected area, wetlands, creeks, forest etc.) and other factors such as important structures, places of archaeological· importance, habi~ation,.prohibited area etc. II. The mining lease auctioned by State government as per their Minor Mineral Concession Rules are granted of Letter of Intent (Lol), but it has been observed that many of the sites are not suitable W.r.t environmental aspects. In most of the cases, the unplanned grant of mining lease leads to formation of cluster and/or contiguous cluster of small mining leases which sometimes. is difficult to regulate and monitor. In order to address such issues, more emphasis is required .on the preparation of District StJrvey Report and its format for reporting, lit. Mining Plan is an important document to assist the mine owner to operate the. mine in. a scientific manner. States have their own format for preparation of mining plan and it is observed that recording of the initial level of mining lease at shorter interval say 25m X 25 m grid interval is not present. IV. There is no practice for regular replenishment study to ascertain the rate of depositing, plan and section needs to be prepared based on the .restrictions provided in letter of intent and provisions of Sustainable Sand Mining Management Guidelines 2016. V.· Environmental Clearance is a process wherein the regulatory authorities after considering the potential environment impact of mining clearance is granted with a set of specific & standard conditions to carry out minihg operations, but often it is observed that. letter of intent.is granted for a location which has less- potential for mining and not feasible for environment-friendly mining. This leads to, an unnecessary financial burden on the mine owners and litigations. Thus, Loin should be preferably granted for those locations, which have the least possibility of an impact on the environment and nearby habitation. VI. It is the responsibility of the mine owner to obtain all the statutory clearance and comply with the conditions stipulated in the clearance letter. Mining should be carried out.within the mining lease area as per approved mining. plan or mining plan concurred by other regulatory authorities. VII. Mining operation also involves transportation of mineral from the mining area to end-user and its necessary that movement of the mineral needs to be monitored. The State Government already have power under section 23c 'of MMDR, Act 1-957to make rules for preventing illegal mining, transportation and storage of minerals. However, there are instances of illegal mining, which shows that there is a need for strengthening the system of mineral dispatch and its monitoring. This document provides good practices already under implementation by various states for regulating the mineral' sale, dispatch, storage, transportation and use. VIII. The river r~aches with sand provide the resource and thus it is necessary to ascertain the rate 17 of replenishment of the mineral. Regular replenishment study needs to be carried out to keep a balance between deposition and extraction. This document provides the procedure to be followed for conducting replenishment study. IX. Even after all the regulatory procedure and policy being in place, there are instances where illegal mining is taking place. There is a need for regular surveillance of the sand mining reaches. The monitoring agencies can monitor the sites remotely by using Unmanned Artificial Vehicles (UAVs)/Drone, which is now a viable option. The drone can also be used for reserves estimation, quantity estimation, land use monitoring. This document highlights possible use of IT/Satellite/Drone technology for effective monitoring of sand mining. 6.3.1 Identification of possible sand mining sources and preparation of District Survey Report (DSR): Preparation of District Survey Report: "Sustainable Sand Mining Guidelines, 2016" issued by MoEF&CC requires preparation of District Survey Report (DSR), which is an important initial step before grant of mining lease/Lol. The guidelines emphasize detailed procedure to be followed for the purpose of identification of areas of aggradation/ deposition where mining can be allowed and identification of areas of. erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installation where mining should be prohibited .. Calculation of annual rate of replenishment, allowing time for replenishment after mining, identification of ways of scientific and systematic minlnq; identifying measures for protection of environment and ecology and determining measures for protection of bank erosion, benchmark (BM) with respect to mean Sea Level (MSL) should be made essential in mining channel reaches (MCR) below which no mining shall be allowed. Therefore, preparation of District Survey Report is a very important step and. sustainable sand mining.in any part of the country will depends on the quality of District Survey Report. Considering the importance of district survey report, the Ministry of Environment Forest and climate change, after consultation with experts dealing with rnininq-related matters, formulated the following guidelines for the preparation of comprehensive District Survey Report for sand mining. a) District Survey Report for sand mining shall be prepared before the auction/e-auction/grant of the mining lease/Letter of Intent (Lol) by Mining department or department dealing the mining activity in respective states. b) The first step is to develop the iriventory of the River Bed Material and Other sand sources in the District. In order to make the inventory of River Bed Material, a detailed survey of the district needs to be carried out, to. identify the source of River Bed Material and alternative source of sand (M- Sand). The source will include rivers, de-siltation of reservoir/dams, Patta landslKhatedari Land, M- sand etc. . The revenue department of Kerala already conducted river mapping and sand auditing of around 20 rivers of Kerala which is a good example wherein the profile of rivers was created at regular intervals and aggradation/deposition was identified along with water level. In the same study, benchmarks were also created at a prominent location at regular interval for future surveying. Such study helps the mining departments to identify the source of sand. Thus, it is proposed that for preparation of district survey report, the auditing of rivers needs to be carried out. There is already a provision under MMDR Act 2015 for National Mineral Exploration Trust (MET) wherein a 2% of royalty amount to be deposited in the trust. This fund is used for 18 ------mineral exploration in the country. The Sand Auditing is also a sort of identification of mineral and ~ State Government may request Central Govt. for proving funds for river auditing. The Central Govt. (Ministry of Mines) may also explore the possibilities for providing the funds for river auditing. The other option is that State Govt. may conduct such studies by its own fund and the same may be recovered from the leaseholders to whom the mining lease will be allocated. c) District Survey Report is to be prepared in such a way that it not only identifies the mineral• bearing area but also define the mining and no mining zones considering various environmental and social factors. d) Identification of the source of Sand & M-Sand. The sources may be from Rivers, Lakes, Ponds, Dams, De-silting locations, Patta land/Khtedari lands. The details in case of Rivers such as [name, length of river, type (Perennial or Non-Perennial ), Villages, Tehsil, District], in case of Lakes, Ponds, Dams, De-silting locations [Name, owned/maintained by (State Govt./PSU), area, Villages, Tehsil, District] in case of Patta land/Khtedari lands [ Owner Name, Sy No, Area, Agricultural/Non-Agricultural, Villages, Tehsil, District], in case of M-Sand Plant [Owner Name, Sy No, Area, Quantity/Annum, Villages, Tehsil, District. e) Defining the sources of Sand/M-Sand in the district is the next step for identification of the potential area o(deposition/aggradation wherein mining lease could be granted. Detailed survey needs to be carried out for quantification of minerals. The purpose of mining in the river bed is for channelization of rivers so as to avoid the possibility of floO,ding and to maintain the flow of the rivers. For this, the entire river stretch needs to be surveyed and original ground level (OGL) to be recorded and area of aggradation/deposition needs to be ascertained by comparing the level difference between the outside riverbed OGL and water level. Once the area of aggradation/deposition are identified, then the quantity of River Bed Material available needs to be calculated. The next step is channelization of the river bed and for this central %th part of the river; width needs to be identified on a map. Out of the %th part area, where there is a deposition/aggradation of the material needs to be identified. The remaining %th area needs to be kept as no mininq zone for the protection of banks. The specific gravity of the material also needs to be ascertained by analyzing the sample from a NABL accredited lab. Thus, the quantity of material available in metric ton. needs to be calculated for mining and no mining zone. Note: As physical survey with conventional method is time-consuming, use of unmanned aerial . vehicle (UAV) may be explored to carry out the survey and finalizing the original ground level and for developing a 3D model of the area. f) The permanent boundary pillars need to be erected after identification of an area of aggradation and deposition outside the bank of the river at a safe location for future surveying. The distance between boundary pillars on each side of the bank shall not be more than 100 meters. g) Identifying the mining and no mining zone shall follow with defining the area of sensitivity by ascertaining the distance of the mining area from the protected area, forest, bridges, important structures, habitation etc. and based on the sensitivity the area needs to be defined in sensitive and non-sensitive area. h) Demand and supply of the Riverbed Material through market survey needs to be carried out. In addition to this future demand for the next 5 years also needs to be considered. i) It is suggested that as far as possible the sensitive areas should be avoided for mining, unless local safety condition arises. Such deviation shall be temporary & shall not be a permanent 19 feature. j) The final area selected for the mining should be then divided into mining lease as per the requirement of State Government. It is suggested the mining lease area should be so selected as to cover the entire deposition area. Dividing a large area of deposition/aggradation into smaller mining leases should be avoided as it leads to loss of mineral and indirectly promote illegal mining. k) Cluster situation shall be examined. A cluster is formed when one mining lease of homogenous mineral is within 500 meters of the other mining lease. In order to reduce the cluster formation mining lease size should be defined in such' a way that distance between any two clusters preferably should not be less than 2.5 Km. Mining lease should be defined in such a way that the total area of the mining leases in a cluster should not be more t~an 10 Ha. I) The number of a contiguous cluster needs to be ascertained. Contiguous cluster is formed when one cluster is at a distance of 2:5 Km from the other cluster. m) The mining outside the riverbed on Patta land/Khatedari land be granted when there is possibility of replenishment of material. In case, there is no replenishment then mining lease shall. only be granted when there is no riverbed mining 'possibility within 5 KM of the Patta land/Khatedari land. For government projects, mining could be allowed on Patta land/Khatedari land but the mining should only be done by the Government agency and material should not be used for sale in the open market. Cluster situation as mentioned in para k above is also applicable for the mining in Patta land/Khatedari land. n) The State Government should define the transportation route from the mining lease considering the maximum production from the mines as at this stage the size of minir:lg leases, their location, the quantity of mineral that can be mined safely etc. is available with the State Government. It is suggested that the transportation route should be selected in such a way that the movement of trucks/tippers/tractors from the villages having habitation should be avoided. The transportation route so selected should be verified by the State Government for its carrying capacity. 0). Potential site for mining having its impact on the forest, protected area, habitation, bridges etc., shall be avoided. For this, a sub-divisional committee may be formed which after the site visit shall decide its suitability for mining. The list of mining lease after the recommendation of the Committee needs to be defined in the fqllowing format given in as Annexure-II. The Sub• Divisional Committee after the site visit shall make a recommendation on the site for its suitabil_ityof mining and also,records the reason for selecting the mining lease in the Patta land. The details regarding cluster and contiguous cluster needs to be provided as in Annexure-IIi. The details of the transportation need to be provided as in Annexure IV. p) Public Consultation - The Comments of the various stakeholders may be sought on the list of 'mining lease to be auctioned. The State Government shall give an advertisement in the local and national newspaper for seeking comments of the general public on the list of mining lease included in the DSR. The DSR should be placed In the public domain for at least one month from the date of publication of the advertisement for obtaining comments of the general public. The comments so received shall be placed before the sub-divisional committee for active consideration. The final list of sand mining areas [leases to be granted on riverbed & Patta land/Khatedari,land, desiltation location (ponds/lakes/dams), M-Sand Plants (alternate source of sand)] after the public hearing needs to be defined in the final DSR in the' format as per 20 Annexure-V. The details regarding cluster and contiguous cluster needs to be provided in Annexure-VI. The details of the transportation need to be provided in Annexure-VII. Q) Mining Plan: The Mining Plan is also very important document. We will prepare the Mining' Plans of the Proposed Sand Ghats from the RQP (Recognised Qualified Person) recognized by the Indian. Bureau of Mines, Mininstry of Mines, Govt: of India And get approved from the' DGM, ·Govt. of Maharastitra. The Mining Plans of Sand Ghats will include the Original Ground Level (OGL) recorded at an interval not more than 10M x 10M along & across the length of the river. 6.3.2 ENFORCEMENT: A) Mining Operation: The mining operations should be strictly carried out in accordance with the Approved Mining Plan approved by the Directorate of Geology & Mining, Govt. of Maharashtra and after complying with all the conditions stipulated in Environmental & Other Statutory Clearance. Mine owner shall follow the operational procedure (for sale, 'dispatch, storage, reserve reconciliation and transportation) as may be defined by the concerned state government in its monitoring guidelines. Mine owner should comply with the recommendation and suggestion made by the High Power Committee as applicable , B) Post Environment Clearnace Monitoring: It's the responsibility of the EC Holder to comply with the Environmental Clearance conditions and upload the six-monthly EC compliance report on the website of the Ministry. For the category, =A' mines (>100 Ha individual & cluster) Regional ·Office of the MoEF&CC are entrusted to carry out EC Monitoring and for the Category =B' Mines by SEIAA. The monitoring shall be carried out as per the procedure/schedule suggested by MoEF&CC from time to time. MOEF&CC vide its notification S.O. 637(E) dated 28.02.2014 has delegated the power to State/Union Territory Environmental Impact Assessment Authority to issue show cause notice to - project proponent in case of violation of Conditions of Environmental Clearance issued by the said authority arid to issue direction for keeping the said EC in abeyance or withdrawing it. Thus, for category ~B'(O to 100 Ha) projects SEIAAs are responsible for EC monitoring. C) Environment Audit: The Hon'ble NGT in its order dated 04.09.2018 in O.A. 173/2018 in the matter of sucarsan Das vs. State of West Bengal & Ors. Inter-alia. directed that -One of the conditions of every lease of mine or minerals would be that there will be independent environmental audit at least once in a year by reputed third party entity and report of such audit be placed in the public domain. In the course of such an environmental audit, a three-member committee of the local inhabitants will also be associated. Composition of three member's committee may preferably include ex-servicemen, a former teacher and former civil servant. The Committee will be nominated by the District Magistrate. The gazette notification on environmental audit has been issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests on March 13, 1992 (amended vide notification GSR 386 (E) dated April 22, 1993). This notification, applies to e~erY person carrying on an industry, operation or process requiring consent to operate under Section 25 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 (6 of 1974) or under section 21 of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 (14 of .1981), or both, or authoriz,ation under the Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989, issued under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986). The notification requires that an Environmental Statement for the financial year ending the 31st March be submitted to the concerned State Pollution Control Board, on or before the 30th September of the same year. 21 It is suggested that NABET Accredited consultant may be engaged for Environment Audit and during the course of the audit, a three-member committee, nominated by District Magistrate'shall be associated. D) Monitoring of Sale & Purchase of Sand: In order to curb illegal mining it is very necessary that the general public is aware of the legal source of sand and RBM suppliers. The Ministry of Mines ,issued Sand Mining Framework 2018 wherein it has proposed two mechanisms for the online sale. of sand. depending on whether there is a free market for sand in the State 'or the prices are regulated by the Government. Under the market model: In the case of the market model, all the lessees! certified dealers in the State should register themselves on the online portal! mobile app. For' registering, the lessee! certified dealer will have to enter the details of its concession! stockyard, location, the quantity of sand expected on a weekly basis, as per the Approved Mining Plan. Once registered, the online portal! app will display the name of the reach! stockyard and sand' could be booked by the consumer from those leases! stockyards and prices up to the delivery level. Further, the lessee! certifieddealer needs to regularly update the sand available in the reach! stockyard, and they can decide the price at which they want to sell their sand. Anyone who wishes to purchase sand in the State will have the following options for buying: 1. Mobile app 2. Online portal 3.,Customer care! telephone call 4. Licensed traders The consumer needs to register on the portal and log in using his!her credentials (Aadhar card based only).. After logging ln, the portal' will display the entire list of reaches! stockyards along with the quantity of sand available in those ,reaches! stockyards and the quality and price of sand. The consumer can filter! sort the reaches! stockyards based on such parameters as location, quality and price, and book from the lease! stockyard he!she wishes to. The' consumer' should also have the option to purchase the sand by ordering at customer care. Also, stockyards should be' made around all the ,major consumption hubs in the' State based on their estimated demand. Controlled market prices: In case the prices are regulated by the State Government, the only difference from the previous model is that the price of sand 'at the river reach! stockyard shall be uniform across the State! district based on the quality and transportation lead, A consumer after logging in may choose the reach! stockyard from which he!she wishes to purchase the sand. The payment for booking the sand in both the cases should be made on the portal! app so that proper accounting of the sale of sand can be maintained by the Government. Also, stockyards should be made around all the major consumption hubs in the State based on their estimated demand. It is suggested, that the State Government should develop an online portal for sale and purchase of Sand & RBM. In addition to this State Government shall decide on the model viz. Under market model or Controlled market prices or both to be adopted for their respective States. The State Gov,ernment shall accordingly modify their Minor Mineral Concession Rules within 6 months of publication of these guidelines. It is suggested that the controlled price model is 22 more effective in controlling illegal sand mining.· Because if the State Government is the only agency to provide the sand in the State, then price and supply of sand can be controlled more effectively. There will be no confusion in the 'consumers about .legality of the purchase as the only source. of sand provider is the State Government through its network of registered . stockiest, 'retailers and' transporters. The consumers can fill the online request, pay the amount, select the transporter and give its feedback after the receipt of toe sand. The transportation can also be controlled as the' tippers used for transportation is registered tippers with GPS facility, the transportation route is well defined for easy monitoring, control over overloading of tippers,' control over spillage of. mineral, etc. The State Govt. shall also make provision for penalizing the persons!agency buying the sand and RBM from the illegal sources. 6.3.3 The Ministry of Mines in its Sand Mining Framework also mentioned the foliowing different level of monitoring: Level 1- Reachl Stockyard level monitoring: For monitoring of the active reaches: a Quantity of sand to be extracted from the reach should be based on the quantity of sand assessed in the reach by the Joint Inspection Team. b. The lease boundary should be demarcated with geo-coordinates or geofenced to ensure that sand extraction is going on only within the,permitted area. c. De-casting from river beds should be monitored on a regular basis to keep a track of excavated .quantity. d. After every two years, a mandatory audit of the quantity extracted and quantity permitted along with the replenishment rate. e. Mandatory e-pass! e-permit should be. made available at reach level for transportation of any sand by any GPS enabled vehicle with' the provision of entering the vehicle number of the sand carrying vehicle and expected delivery address and customer name! mobile number. Also, provision should be made available for stockyards! stockiest of sand. In the case of nomination based (controlled pricing) business model, the margin of private stockist should be capped over a fixed percentage of notified prices. f. At the stockyard, the' stock supervisor should verify the authenticity of online payment receipt before issuing the transit pass.. The loading of sand should be monitored electronically and all .transporting vehicles should pass through an electronically monitored weighbridge e. g. Real-time data capture for transportation. Level 2 - Transportation monltorinq: To make transportation monitoring effective and useful, all the sand carrying vehicles (tractors! trucks) should be registered with the department and GPS equipment should be installed in all the sand carrying vehicles. Weighbridges with CCTV should be installed at all the stockyards, active reaches to ascertain the exact quantity of sand being transported in the vehicle .. Check posts with CCTV cameras should be established near all major consumption centres to check if all the transporting vehicles are carrying a- valid transport permit. The transport permit generated should contain the' security features mentioned under section 23 6.3.4 So that one permit cannot be re-used by generating photocopies of the permit. Level 3 - End consumer monitoring/bulk consumer: For end consumer monitoring, a customer grievaf1ce redressal center should be established to enquire about the qrievances faced by the sand consumers. The telephone number of the call center should be advertised so that it reaches the general public through which anyone in the . State can register his/her complain related to the. sand, be it in terms of price or any other grievance. Additionally, profiles of customers should be analyzed such as the delivery of sand at the same address, usage pattern and its comparison with the estimated usage, as mentioned in purpose, etc. Further, surprise checking should be conducted by the district level committee staff as per instructions of the monitoring agency. Level 4 - Indirect monitoring: Indirect monitoring can be done by determining sand consumption through the quantum of cement sales in the State, as the sale of cement is quite organized and data is easily available at the State level and district levels for the same. From district-wise cement consumption, the further trend of sand consumption can be derived. Any anomalies in the sand consumption/demand can be analyzed further. Note: The ebove monitoring mechanism is just a suggestion and the States may visit Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to study the monitoring mechanism in greater detail. It is suggested that State Government may consult with concern department of State of Telangana and Tamil Nadu to have better understanding on their experience and knowledge in adopting 'best sand mining enforcement provisions and monitoring practices and frame their own regulatory ,regime and monitoring framework. The framework of monitoring should essential include online sale & purchase of River Bed Material/ Auction of leases, Sand from rivers and other sources, online monitoring of. excavation, storage and transportation of mineral for control of illegal mining. The respective State Governments shall develop the online Sale & Purchase System after defining the model viz. Under market. model or Controlled market prices model. The level of monitoring needs to be defined and guidelines need to be finalized by the respective State Governments as per their requirement with due consideration of suggestive guideline in this document. These all measure will help in curbing illegal mining. 6.3.5 Recommendations of High Power Committee: A high power committee (HPC) was constituted by Hon'ble National Green Tribunal to assess the status of illegal mining the stretch of River Yamuna, under the chairmanship of Secretary, Ministry of Environment Forest & Climate Change. The committee after exhaustive field survey and interaction with stakeholders and having surprise visits submitted a comprehensive report on river sand mining along with certain recommendations on enforcement requirements and monitoring essentials. The same is provided in the following section for consideration of monitoring /regulatory authority to adopt applicable provisions in their rnonitorinq framework and also to ensure that the infrastructural requirements recommended by the HPC are, put in use at all locations including the lease area. A) Recommendations of High Power Committee (HPC): The following recommendation of the High Power Committee shall be considered while framing the monitoring mechanism by the State Government. 24 Project Proponent must ensure that following security features are included in the Transport Permission/Permits (TP) so that duplicate/fraudulent/forged TPs for transport, not accounted for in the IT-based system, is not possible: (a) Printed on Indian Bank Association '(IBA) approved (b) Magnetic Ink Character Recognition Code (MICR) paper; (c) Unique Barcode; (d) Unique Quick Response Code (QR); (e) Fugitive Ink Background; (f) Invisible Ink Mark; (9) Void Pantograph; (h) Water Mark: ii) Project Proponent must ensure that CCTV Camera, Personal Computer (PC) or Laptop, Internet Connection, Power Back up, access control of mine lease site; and arrangement for weight or approximation of weight of mined out mineral on basis of volume of the trailer of vehicle used at mine lease site are available. , , iii) The PP has to enter the destination, distance between plot and destination, vehicle number etc in the system. After scanning, unique bar code number, invoice date time and validity date-time are generated by the software which gets printed individually on each TP Validity of TP is calculated based on the distance between plot and destination. After validity time is over the TP stands invalid. , . iv), The officers involved in monitoring should be provided with mobile application and/or bar code scanners using which the TP can be checked anywhere on road. As soon as the bar or QR code on TP gets scanned through using the mobile application and/or scanner or vehicle number is entered into the application or sent by SMS to a predefined number, all details of TP such as plot details, vehicle details, validity time, etc. should be, fetched from the server. This means if anything is re-written on TP and attempt is made to reuse the same, it can be traced immediately. Various reports can be generated using the system showing daily lifting reports and user performance report. This way the vehicles carrying sand cal) be tracked from source to destination. v) The facility to fetch details using mobile app, website and SMS may be made available to the general public as well. However, they shall not be allowed to stop the vehicles to check the transportation. The, only option that they should have is to check vehicle numbers of the passing vehicle in the mobile app or SMS for the validity of the pass. The only result that should be available to them should be if the vehicle carrying sand has a valid permit at the relevant point of time or not. If the citizen finds that the vehicle doesn't have such a permit, as ascertained from' mobile app or website or SMS, he should alert local authorities, who shall then take further action as per the law. vi) In case, the vehicle break-down, the validity of Transport Permit or Receipt shall be extended by sending SMS by the driver in specific format to report the breakdown of the vehicle. The server will register this information and register the breakdown. The State can also establish a call center, which can register breakdowns of such vehicles and extend the validity period. 25 The subsequent restart of the vehicle also should be similarly reported to the server/c,all center. vii) The route of the vehicle from source to destination shall be tracked through the system using checkpoints, Radio-frequency, identification (RFID) lags, and Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking. viii) The system shall enable the Authorities to develop a periodic report on different parameters . like daily lifting report, vehicle log/ history, lifting against allocation, and total lifting. The system can be used to generate auto mails/SMS. This will enable the District Collector / Magistrate and other authorities to get all the relevant details and will enable the authority to block the scanning facility of any site found to be indulged in irregularity. Whenever any authority intercepts any vehicle transporting illegal sand, it shall get registered on the . server and shall be mandatory for the officer to fill in the report on action taken. Every intercepted vehicle should be tracked. ix) It is necessary to prevent any truck/vehicle from transporting sand out of the identified plot bypassing the strong IT enabled system. Therefore, at each of the sand plot, the following additional measures should be taken. (a) There shall be one entry and exit point provided, for trucks/vehicles. The said entry point should have facilities as mentioned above. In case, it is necessary to have more than one entry/exit points, all such points shall have checkpoints with facilities as mentioned above. All other possible ways of entry/exit should be closed using barriers like compound; trench, etc. All provisions shall be made to not make it possible for any vehicle to enter or exit without entry into the computerized system. (b) All such points should have 24X7 CCTV coverage, the footage of which should be made available online to the district administration. In' cases, where sufficient internet bandwidth is not available, it may be deposited with the district administration, on a weekly basis. If possible, the entry/exit points should have boom barriers which will record the vehicles entering and exiting the plot. 6.3.6 GENERAL APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE SAND MINING: A) Pre-requisite for starting sand mining operation: i) All districts to prepare a comprehensive mining plan for the district as per the provision of District Survey Report. These reports shall be put on the website of District Adrnlnistration. No mining shall be allowed in the area which has not been identified in the comprehensive mining plan of the District. ~, Replenishment study should be conducted on regular basis. " , i) All potential rivers mining zone/area shall be,identified and put for auction with proper geo• tagged details by the auctioning authority concerned. iv) The latitude and lonqltude of each mining lease shall be clearly mentioned in Letter of Intent issued to the potential mine lease. Such information shall be provided on the website of the district administration. , v) The provision of these guidelines shall be considered while identifying the potential stretches /Iocations and boundaries of the leases for the minable area. VI) The Lol holder shall seek Environmental Clearance as per the provision of EIA Notification, 26 and the regulatory authority shall ensure that the provision suggested in -Sustainable Sand Mining & Management 2016. II and in this documents, as applicable are part of the clearance conditions. vi) There shall be no river bed mining operation allowed in monsoon period. The period as defined by IMD Nagpur for each state shall be adhered with. vi) The monitoring infrastructures including weighbridge and adequate fencing of.the lease area, CCTV, Transport permits, etc, as suggested in this document shall be ensured in order to reduce unrecorded dispatch. ix) Regular monitoring of mined minerals and its transportation and storage shall be ensured and all information shall be captured at centralized database so that easy tracking of illegal material can be done. x) Annual audit of each mining lease shall be carried out wherein three independent member of repute, nominated by District administration shall also participate. B) Mining of Sand from Ag'ricultural Fields: This practice is prevalent in Haryana; to ensure that mining from outside doesn't affect rivers, no mining is permitted in an area up to a width of 100 meters from ·the active edge of embankments or distance prescribed by Irrigation department whichever is critical. The top layer of soil varying between 1 and 2 meters is removed and stacked separately and thereafter the sand deposit which maybe 10-15 meter deep is mined. After rernovinq the sand layer up to a maximum depth of 09 meters or the maximum mineable minerals, as permitted by competent authority. The topsoil stacked is spread out on the field and' the same is brought under the cultivation. Though the level of this land (mined out area) is lowered to the depth of the excavation and in initial years of cultivation the productivity is low, but the productivity of the fields improves with continued cultivation and addition of organic manure in the field. In Haryana, some leases are of large area (ranqinq from 1000 hectare to 2000 hectare) and agricultural fields and river bed both are included in the same lease for mining. The following recommendations should be kept in mind for mining in such leases: 1. Mining of sand in such mine leases will require environment clearance. 2. The lease should be of sand mining either from the agricultural field or river. In the same lease, both types of area should not be included. ~ 3. The sand mining from the agricultural field is being done in Haryana for a long time and it can be . done in a more sustainable manner without adverse impact on agricultural productivity if proper environmental safeguards are taken. 4. The slope of mining area adjacent to agricultural fields should be proper (preferably 45 degree) and adequate gap (minimum 10 feet) be ,left from adjacent agricultural field to avoid erosion and scouring. The provision for sand mining in agricultural field may be permitted, whenever replenishment of sand occurs due to natural phenomena. Permission may also be granted by competent authority (District administration) for excavation of sand/Soil from agricultural fields, after due. diligence of this prevailing; condition in order to avoid any unacceptable impact on the environment and nearby livelihood from agriculture provided such objective of such excavation mining of Soil/Sand in limited increase the productivity of sand agricultural field. . , 27 6.3.7. MONITORING MECHANISM: A) Illegal Mining: The Hon'ble Supreme Court in its Judgment dated 2.08.2017 in W.P 114 of 2014 in the matter of : Common Cause Vs Union of India & Ors, inter-alia passed the following: The simple reason for not accepting this interpretation is that Rule 2(ii-a) of the MCR was inserted by a notification dated 26th July 2012 while we are concerned with an earlier period. That apart, as mentioned above, the holder of a mining lease is required to adhere to the terms of the mining scheme, the mining plan and the mining lease as well as the statutes such as the EPA, the FCA, the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. If any mining operation is conducted in violation of any of these .requirements, then that mining operation is illegal or unlawful. Any extraction of a mineral through an illegal or unlawfulrnininq operation would become illegally or unlawfully extracted mineral.lI In view of above Judgement, any mining activities which are not governed under the provision of Environment (Protection) Act, 1985, The Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution Act, 1974, The Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, Forest Conservation Act-1980, Wildlife Protection Act - 1972, shall be considered as illegal mining within the provision of section 21(5) of Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation) Act, 1957 (MMDR Act) and the concerned authority shall take necessary action within the provision of MMDR Act. As per the provision of 23(C) of MMDR Act, the State Government is empowered to make rules for preventing illegal mining, and transportation & storage of Illegal minerals. All such mining which qualifies under illegal shall be dealt with in the provision of MMDR Act by the concern authorities. State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) is the nodal authority in the. State for dealing with cases related to pollution or environment management coming under the purview of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and the Environment Protection Act 1986. SPCB shall initiate appropriate action under the provision of these acts for non-compliance of violation of the provisions. 6.3.8 Environmental Damage due to illegal mining The environmental. damages incurred or resulting due to illegal mining shall be assessed by a committee constituted by District Administration having expertise from relevant fields, and also having independent representation of locals and State Pollution Control Board. . Guidelines for assessment of ecological damages prescribed by the State Government or Concerned Pollution Control Boards or any other authority shall be applicable and compensation as fixed shal be paid by the project proponent, in light of Hon'ble National Green Tribunal orders. 6.3.9 Monitoring of Mining near Inter-district or inter-state boundary There are situations where bifurcated river becomes district boundaries or state boundaries in such situation it is difficult to assess the mining potential, or to have close monitoring and enforcement of the regulatory provision. Such challenges have been identified and dealt with in SSMG-2016. However, in the absence of any standardized procedure, the monitoring has not been effectively practiced. This has been highlighted by the High Power Committee constituted by NGT in the matter pertaining to illegal mining. The districts/state sharing the boundary shall constitute the combined task force for monitoring of mined materials, mining activity and also should actively participate in the preparation of DSR by providing appropriate inputs. In such cases, 28 the draft DSR so prepared shall be put up for public consultation in both the. districts through respective district administration website. The task force shall meet every quarter to reconcile the data collected during the period and identify any gap/lapses based on the outcome of such meeting. The respective district shall take action/ corrective measures. Effort shall be made for real-time data sharing between both the district. The task -force shall include essentially the representative of respective districts from the mining department, transport department, regional office of SPCB concerned and a reputed citizen nominated by district administration. The Taskforce shall be headed by officer not less than ADM rank and quarterly outcome shall be submitted to District administration. In addition to the above, there is a need for strict surveillance, particularly at night. The State of Gujarat has already initiated a program called =Trinetra'for night surveil ance by using night• vision drones to control illegal mining incidents. This program is giving satisfactory results. Such type of system may also be developed by each State within a reasonable time. A typical standard operating procedure for assessing illegal mining by the committee constituted shall, but not limited to, include the steps given in the following table. However, the process of assessing can be modified based on site-specific conditions and any deviation shall be recorded in the report with proper justification. 6.3.10 Suggestive standard Practice for assessing illegal mining: Step 1: The assessment team should collect the information and documents prescribed in the Pre• Requisite section. Step 2: The assessment team should verify the applicability/validity of statutes under EPA- 1986., Air and Water Act, MMDR 1957, State Mines and Mineral Rules, etc. Step 3: Field visit should be conducted for identification of mining lease area (in hectare) and boundary pillar constructed to indicate the same. Step 4: With the help of GPS instrument, the team should assess the area where any extraction or mining have been carried out on the day of visit and calculate the ~ined-out area in a hectare. Step 5: If available, the team may avail the use of latest satellite images for calculating the total mined out area. Step 6: The team should verify the Ground / Surface Level (in meter above MSL) of at least 04 highest points in or around the area where mining has been done. The Ground/surface level will then be computed based on averaging of 04 highest points verified by the team. Step 7: With the help of Depth Measurement kit or any depth measuring instruments, the depth should be measured for at least 04 points in the mined-out area. For computing, the depth, averaging of the value obtained at 04 points should be done. Step 8: Verification of compliance conditions of Environmental Clearance and Consent to operate, mining methodology under Mining Plan Step 9: Identification of vulnerable impacts observed on the field and non-compliance of conditions of Environmental Clearance and Consent to Operate. Step 10: Field Survey for identification, monitoring and verifiCation of ecological species based on the information available and documents mentioned in the Pre-requisite section. Step 11: 29 Preparation of inventory of machinery used/observed on the field (optional) Step 12: 'Preparation of inventory of hydraulic structures observed on the field (optional) , Step 13: Water sampling for assessment of water quality including physical and biological parameters. (Optional) Step 14: Reconciliation collation of data/information and compilation to maintain violation. Step 15: Identification of restoration plan and computation of cost of the restoration plan. 6.3.11 Monitoring Mechanism A uniform, monitoring mechanism is required to assess the regulatory provision in quantitative terms, with robust institutional and legal framework. Based on past experience and suggestions available, the following requirements are suggested for defining a mechanism for monitoring of mining activities which will help in identification of mining which is operating either illegally , or are violating the regulatory provisions. Some suggestion will facilitate direct or indirect " information to help in such an assessment. 1. All precaution shall be taken to ensure that the water stream flows unhindered and process of Natural river meandering doesn'tqet affected due to mining activity. 2. River mining from outside shall not affect rivers, no mining shall be permitted in an area up to a width of 100 meters from the active edge of embankments or distance prescribed by the Irrigation department. 3. The mining from the .area outside river bed shall be permitted subject to the condition that a safety margin of two meters (2 m) shall be maintained above the groundwater table while undertaking mining and no mining operation shall be permissible below this level unless specific permission is obtained from the Competent Authority. Further, tile mining, should not exceed nine-meter (9 m) at any point in time. 4. Survey shall be carried out for identifying the stretches having habitation of freshwater turtles or turtle nesting zones. Similarly, stretches shall be identified for other species of Significant importance to the river.ecosystem. Such stretch with adequate buffer distance shall be declared as no-mining zone and no mining shall be permitted. The regulatory authority as defined 'for granting Environmental Clearance, while considering the application of issuance-of ToR and/or EC for the adjacent block (to non-mining .zone) of mining shall take due precaution and impose requisite conditions to safeguard the interest of such species of importance. 5. District administration shall provide detailed information on its website about the sand mines in its district for public information, with an objective to extend all information in public domain so that the citizens.are aware of the mining activities and can also report to' the district administration on any deviation observed. Appropriate feedback and its redressal mechanism shall also be made operational. The details shall include, but not limited to, lease area, geo-coordinates of lease area and mineable area, transport routes, permitted capacity, regulatory conditions for operation including mining, environmental and social . commitments etc. 6. A website needs to be maintain to track the movement of centralised sand mining and a 'Centralised server system should be made to manage the data related to sand mining across-India. 30 7. The mineral concession holders shall maintain electronic weighbridges at' the appropriate location identified by the district mining officer, in order to ensure that all mined minerals from that particular mine are accounted for before the material, is dispatched from the mine. The weighing bridge shall have the provision of CCTV camera and all dispatch from the mine shall be accounted for. B.' The mineral movement shall be monitored and controlled through the use of transit permit with security features like printing on ISA approved 'MICR papers, Unique bar/QR, fugitive ink background, invisible ink mark, void pantographs and watermarks papers or through use of RFID tagged transit permits and IT /IT-enabled services. Such monitoring system shall be created and made operationalised by State Mining department and district level mining, officer. shall be responsible for ensuring that all legal and operational mines are connect~d and providing the requisite information on the system. Regular check and associated report shall be submitted to Dl TF and uploaded on the website. 9. State Government shall constitute a District Level Task Force (DLTF) under the Chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner/District Magistrate/Collector with Superintendents of Police and other related senior functionaries (District Forest Officer, District transport officer, Regional officer- SPCSs, Senior Officer of Irrigation Department, District Mining Officer) with one/two independent member nominated by the Commissioner concerned. The independent member shall be retired government officials/teacher or ex-serviceman or ex- judiciary member. The DLTF shall keep regular watch over the mining activities and movement of minerals in the district. The DLTF shall have. its regular meeting, preferably every month to reconcile the information from the mining activity, and other observations made during the month and take appropriate corrective and remedial action, which may include a recommendation for revoking mining lease or environmental clearance. The DLTF ,may constitute an independent committee of the expert to assess the environmental or ecological damage caused due to illegal mining and recommend recovery of environmental' compensation from the miner's concern. The recommendation may also include action under the provision of E(P) Act, 1986. 10. The area not identified for mining due to restriction or otherwise are also to be monitored on a regular basis by the DLTF. Any observations of mining activity from the restricted area shall be reported and corrective ~easures shall be initiated on an urgent basis by the DLTF. 11. The dispatch routes shall be defined in the Environmental Clearance and shall be avoided through densely habituated area and the increase in the number of vehicle movement on the road shall be in agreement with the IRC guidelines / carrying capacity of the road. The alternate and dedicated route shall be explored and preferred for, movement of mining 'to avoid inconvenience to the local habitat. The mining production capacity, by volume/weight, shall be governed by total permissible dispatch calculated based on the carrying capacity of dispatch link roads and accordingly, the production should be regulated. 12. The movement of minerals shall be reconciled with the data, collected from the mines and various Naka/check posts. Other measures may also include a general survey of the potential mineable area in the district which has not been leased/auctioned or permitted for mining due to regulatory or other reasons. 13. The location and number of check post requirement shall be reviewed by DLTF on a regular basis so that appropriate changes in location/number could be made as per the requirement. 31 Such review shall be carried out on a regular basis for the district on inter-state boundary or district providing multiple passages between two districts of different states. 14. The district administration shall compile the information from their district of the permitted and 32 District Collector. Once these Transport Permits or Receipts are issued, they would be uploaded on the server against that mine lease area. -Each receipt should be preferable with pre-fixed quantity, so the total quantity gets determined for the receipts issued. When the Transport Permit or Receipt barcode gets scanned and invoice is generated, that partioular barcode gets used and its validity time is recorded on the server., So all the details of transporting of mined out material can be captured on the server and . the Transport Permit or Receipt cannot be reused. iv. Checking On Route: The staff deployed for the purpose of checking of vehicles carrying mined mineral should be in a position to check the validity of Transport Permit or Receipt by scanning them using the website, Android Application and SMS. v. Breakdown of Vehicle: In case the vehicle break-down, the validity of Transport Permit or Receipt shall be extended by sending SMS by the driver in specific format to report the breakdown of the vehicle. The server will register this information and register the breakdown. The State can also establish a call center, which can register breakdowns of such vehicles and extend the validity period. The subsequent restart of the vehicle also should be similarly reported to the server or call center. vi. Tracking of Vehicles: The route of the vehicle from source to destination can be tracked through the system using checkpoints, RFID Tags, and GPS tracking. Alerts or. Report Generation and Action Review: The system will enable the authorities to develop a periodic report on different parameters like daily lifting report, vehicle log or history, lifting against allocation, and total lifting. The system can be used to generate auto mails or SMS. This will enable the District Collector or District Magistrate to get all the relevant details and shall enable the authority to block the scanning facility of any site found to be indulged in irregularity. Whenever any authority intercepts any vehicle transporting illegal sand, it shall get registered on the server and shall be mandatory forthe officer to fill in thereport on action taken. Every intercepted vehicle shall be tracked. The monitoring of mined out mineral, environmental clearance conditions and enforcement of Environment Management Plan will be ensured by the regulatory authority' and the State Pollution Contr~1 Board or Committee. The monitoring arrangements envisaged above shall be put in place. The monitoring of enforcement of environmental clearance conditions shall be done by the Central Pollution Control Board, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and the agency nominated by the Ministry for the purpose. Some of the State has followed the SSMMG-2016 and has also improvised or customized on the provisions given therein, and are successfully in operation. Salient provision adopted at different stages of sand mining in the state of Tamil Nadu is given as Annexure VIII. 6.3.1.3Actions against illegal excavation and transport: Solapur district administration in Maharashtra had adopted a multi-pronged strategy .to penalize the persons involved in illegal excavation and transport which resulted in a significant increase in revenue earned by the state. Following rules and procedures as mentioned in these guidelines will add to the costs of PP. Those involved in ille_galactivities are not required to bear these costs and this will make their supply in the market cheaper (though illegal). This will put the players running their business by following rules and procedures laid down by the government to disadvantage as far as the selling price is considered. Therefore, it is necessary to come down heavily on those involved in illegal excavation/transport, so that there is no incentive for players to abide by the rules. 33 The following action may be taken to achieve this deterrence against illegal business: 1. The action should be taken under all legal options available simultaneously. Thus, after identifying the case of illegal excavation, storage and/or transport of minor minerals (including sand), fine should be levied as per the land revenue laws/code(s) of the state. In addition, FIR should be lodged in the police station under relevant sections of law including sec 379 IPC. In addition, action under the Motor Vehicle Act, 1989 and relevant rules should initiate to cancel/suspend the driving license of the driver and permit of the vehicle. Further, action should be initiated under provisions in the Income Tax Act, 1961 for· unaccounted income and under the Central Goods and Services Act, 2017 for nonpayment of GST. (Earlier this was done under the state act pertaining to Value Added Tax/Sales Tax). Habitual offenders should also be taken up under local state laws for externment and/or preventive action. It is clarified that as per law, it is possible to take all actions under various laws simultaneously for one offence. What is prohibited in law is an action under the same law for the same act more than once. 2 .The action should be taken against all persons responsible. Often, there is a tendency to penalize only the drivers of the vehicles. The mafia of illegal mining and transport is much bigger and drivers are only one part of the system. It is necessary to identify all those involved in the offence. It is usually not possible to reach the place of excavation without creating a motorable pathway up to the same through land which may be private land. Such role of such landowners needs to be looked into for each offence and proceeded against simultaneously. Further, the role of vehicle owners needs to be probed. Role of the person who allowed his land to be used for illegal excavation and storage should also be examined. Lastly, the person who purchases such sand should also be probed. The legal proceedings stated above needs to be initiated against all of these together. An attempt should be made to fix the financial responsibility in joint and several ways so that recovery is easier. 3. There may be discretion available in law about the extent of the penalty to be levied. If such discretion is very wide, then it is advisable that guidelines may be laid down to reduce such discretion in law for levying penalties. For example, in Maharashtra, Land Revenue Code, fine of any amount of penalty up to thrice the value of the sand can be levied. Solapur district administration had instructed Tahsildars and SDMs not to use discretion and levy the fine of three times the value. Availability of discretion makes junior level functionaries susceptible to pressures and it may also lead to corrupt practices. 4. It is emphasized that actions, as stated above, are most important to ensure that the IT-based system works. If these exemplary actions are not taken against everyone, it shall' create a strong disincentive to those involved in legal excavation and transportation. For IT- based (or any other) legal system to work, it is necessary to ensure that illegal system stops working altogether. 6.3.12 The Annexures as per the Enforcement & Monitoring Guidelines for Sand Mining by MoEF&CC- 2020 are attached herewith with this District Survey Reports: 34 The Annexure Nos. & Name is given in the following table: Table of Annexures No. of Annexure Details Annexure -I Details of Sand/M-Sand Sources Annexure - II List of Potential Mining Leases (Existing & Proposed) Annexure - III Cluster & Contiguous Cluster details Annexure - IV Transportation Routes for individual leases and leases in Cluster Annexure - V Final.List of Potential Mining Leases (Existing & Proposed) Annexure - VI Final List of Cluster & Contiguous Cluster Final Transportation Routes for individual leases and leases in Annexure - VII c Cluster Annexure - VIII Salient provision for Sand Mining in the state of M.S Demand and supply details of sand in last four years & proposed in Annexure - IX this year: Annexure - X Demand and supply details of sand in 'years 2020-21 Annexure - XI River Cross Section Annexure - XII Sand Ghat Surface Plan With Ground Levels Annexure- XIII 10*10m Grid Annexure- XIV Environmental plans Annexure- XV EMP Summary Sheet Signed copy of issues' raised in Public hearing and its Annexure- XVI compliance Annexure- XVII Compliance to points raised in SEAC-1 Meeting 35 Annexure No. I (Reference: Enforcement & Monitoring Guidelines for Sand Mining by MoEF&CC- 2020) a.

STEPS FOLLOWED DURING SURVEY: • Before the commencement of mining operations, the depth of sand quarrying needs to be measured accurately using Advanced technology and new gadgets like Total Stations, Global Positioning System (GPS) instruments etc. The Total Station and GPS instruments also need to be calibrated before measurement. Both the traditional and modern techniques may be infused in the right blend to get an accurate measure of the depth. A clear contour map (0.25m interval) of the levels within 2Km (one Km U/s and one Km Dis) needs to be prepared and submitted to both the Project Director, Sand Quarrying Operations and all the Monitoring Committee members. The depth of sand quarrying shall be restricted to 1 m from the theoretical/design bed level. • The mining area must be demarcated at a minimum distance of at least 50 m away from the river embankment on either side. The boundaries of the quarries may be fixed with reference to the existing survey marks from the survey fields adjacent to the river.

The area for removal of mineral in a river or stream can be decided depending on geomorphologyand other factors, it can be 50% to 60% of the area of a particular river/stream, e.g. in river mineral'constituents like sand up to a depth of three meter are considered as resource mineral. Other constituents like clay and silt are excluded as waste while calculating the mineral potentialof particularriver/stream.The specific gravity of each mineralconstituentis different. The percent of mineral constituent like boulder, river Bajri, and sand also vari~s for' different river and streams. While calculating the mineral potential the percentage of each mineral constituent is taken as, Sand 25- 30% and ,5- 10% for silt and clay. The quantum of deposition varies from stream to stream depending upon factors like catchment lithology, discharge, river profile and geomorphology of the river course. There are certain geo-" morphological features developedin the river beds such as channel bar, point, bar etc where annual deposition is more even two to three meters. ' Sediment is a naturally occurring materialthat is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequentlytransported by the action of wind, water and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particles. Sedimentsare most often transported by water. Sediment is transported based on the strength of the flow-that carries it and its own size, volume, density, and shape. Strongerflows will increase the lift and drag on the particle, causing it to rise, while larger or denser particles will be more likely to fall through the flow. Deposition is the processes where material being transported by a river is deposited. Deposition occurs when a river loses energy. This can be when a river enters a shallow area (this could be when it floods and comes into contact with the,flood plain) or towards its mouth where it meets another body of water. Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, and water, as well as sediment flowing via gravity, transport previously eroded sediment, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment. Rivers flood on a regular basis. The area over which they flood is known as the floodplain and this often coincides with regions where meandersform. Meanderssupport the formation of flood plains through lateral erosion. When rivers flood the velocity of water slows. As the result of this the river's capacity to transport material is reduced and deposition occurs. This deposition leaves a layer of sediment across the whole floodplain. After a series of floods layers of sediment form along the flood plain. 74 ,Figure orForm«tion orNatur«' Levees Deposition is the opposite of erosion. Deposition is where a river lays down or drops the Sedimentsor material that it is carrying. Rivers carries lots of different sediments, inclLiding rocks, boulders, silt, mud, pebbles and stones. Normally, a. river has the power to carry. sediments. If the force of a river drops, the river cannot carry sediment. This is when the river deposits its sediment. Constituents of minor mineral: The work done by a river consistsof the following 1) Erosion 2) Transportof thematerialproducedby erosion 3) Accumulation(deposition)of thetransportedmaterial Constituents of minor mineral: The work done by a river consistsof the following: The erosion and transport of material go hand in hand with the depositionof the tatter. There is none a single river that doesn't carry fragmental material and deposit it. Even at the early stages, in the development of a river, when the erosion and transport definitely prevails over accumulation, the material carried by the river is deposited in some of the sections. During youthful stage of the river, these deposits are unstable and when the volume of water and stream velocityincreases(duringflood), they may start movingagaindownstream. 75 The load carried by a stream includes the rock waste supplied to it by rain wash, surface creep, slumping etc. by tributaries, external agents such as glaciers, wind, together with, acquired by its own erosion work. The term load doesn't specifical y mean the maximum. amount of debris, that a sream could carry in a given set of conditions, that amount is referred to as the ,transporting power orcapacity of a river. The term load is technically defined as the total weight of solid detritus transported in unit time.. The transporting capacity of a stream rises very rapidly as the discharge and the velocity increases. Experiments show that with debris of mixed shapes and sizes, the maximum load that can be carried is proportional to something between the third and fourth power of the velocity. But the fragments of,a given shape, the largest size that can be moved (not the actual mass of mixed debris) is proportional to the sixth power of the velocity, provided of course that the depth of water is also adequate for the purpose. As the velocity of a river is checked, the bed load s first to come to rest with continued slackening . of the flow, 'the larger ingredients .of the suspended load are dropped, followed successively by finer and finer particles. When the stream begins to flow more vigoursly, the finer materials are the first to move again. A river begins to sort out its load or burden as soon as' it receives it. The proportion of fine to coarse amongst the deposited materials tend on average to increase downstream, but there may be interruptions of this tendency because of addition of coarse debris from tributaries or from landslides and steepening of the banks, Sand is replenishable. Due to sparse rainfall over the last few years the river flows to an average height but flows to. its maximum height only during and just after monsoon season. Mining of Building Grade sand from the river bed will not have any impact on the, ground water body in the area. During heavy rains the floodwaters overflow the bank and inundate .the field sand' dry regions. The floods have its own ways of depositing sand not only at the bank but also. on the dry surface region. Added to the deposition of sand 'on the river basin by stratification through lateral deposition of sands on the land surface is by Differential Lateral Deposition. (OLD).. The later grade is coarse, medium and fine sand to mud and soil beyond. Inthis soil, agriculturaloperation.qoeson from the bankto the cultivated land surface. ao Mode of Sediment Transportation: Sediment transport is the movement of organic and inorganic particles by water. In 76 general, greater the flow more' sediment that will b~ conveyed. Water flow can be strong enough to suspend particles in the water' column as they move downstream, or simply push them along the bottom of a waterway. Transported sediment may include mineral matter, chemicals and pollutants, and organic material. Another name for, sediment transport is sediment load. The sediment load of a river is transported in various ways although these distinctions are to some extent arbitrary and not always very practical in the sense that not all 'of the components can be separated in practice. The total load includes all particles moving as: a) Bed load, b) Suspended load, c) Wash load. d) Dissolved load e) Intermittent suspension (saltation) load a) Bed load: Bed load particles travel with water flow by sliding or bouncing along the bottom. Bedload is the portion of sediment transport that rolls, slides or bounces along the. bottom of a waterways.This sediment is not truly suspended, as it sustains, intermittent contact with the streambed,' and the movement is 'neither uniform nor continuous. Bedload occurs when the force of the water flow is strong enough to overcome, the weight and cohesion of' the sediment. While the particlesare pushed along"they typically do not move as fast as the water around them, as th€t flow rate is not great enough to fully suspend them. Bedloadtransport can occur during low flows (smaller particles) or at high flows (for larger particles). Approximately 5-20% of total sediment transport is bedload. In situations where the low rate is.strong enough, some of the smaller bedload particles can be pushed up into the water column and become suspended. b) Suspended Load: While there is often overlap,the suspendedload and suspendedsediment are not the same thing. Suspendedsediment are any particlesfound in the water column, whether the water is flowing or not. The suspendedload, on the other hand, is the amount of sediment,carried downstreamwithin 77 the. water column by the water flow. Suspended loads require moving water, as the water flow creates small upward currents (turbulence) that keep the particles above the bed. The size of the particles that can be carried as suspended load is dependent on the flow rate. Larger particles are more likely to fall through the upward currents to the bottom, unless the flow rate increases, increasing the turbulence at the streambed. In addition, suspended sediment will not. necessarily remain suspended if the flow rate slow. If the water flow is strong enough to pick up sediment particles, they will become part of the c) Wash Load; The wash load is a subset of the suspended load. This load is comprised of the finest . suspended sediment (typically less than 0.00195 mm in diameter). The wash load is differentiated from the suspended load because it will not settle to the bottom of a waterway during a low or no flow period. Instead, these particles remain in permanent suspension as they are small enough to bounce off water molecules and stay afloat. The wash load is the portion of sedimentthat will remainsuspendedeven when there is no water flow. However, during flow periods, the wash load and suspended load are indistinguishable. 78 Turbidity in lakes and slow moving rivers is typically due the wash load. When the flow rate increases (increasing the suspended load and overall sediment transport), turbidity also increases. While turbidsity cannot be used -to estimate sediment transport,' it can approximate suspended sediment concentrations at a specific location. d) Dissolved load: --+__ Suspended Load Dissolved load is the portion of a stream's total sediment load that is carried in solution, especially ions from chemical weathering. It is a major contributor to the total amount of material removedfrom a river's drainage basin, along with suspended load and bed load. The amount of material carried as dissolved load is typically much smaller than the suspended load[1], though this is not alwaysthe case, particularly when the available river flow is mostly harnessed for purposes such as irrigationor industrial uses. Dissolved load comprises a significant portion of the total material flux out of a landscape, and its composition is important in regulating the chemistry and biologyof the stream -water. The dissolved load is primarily controlled by the rate of chemical weathering, which depends on climate and weather conditions such as moisture and temperature. Dissolved load has many useful applications within the field of geology, includingerosion, denudation,and reconstructingclimate in the past. e) Salt Export The process of carrying salts by water to the sea or a land-locked lake from a river basin is called salt export. When adequate salt export is not occurring, the river _basin area gradually converts-into saline soils and/or alkali soils, particularlyin lower reaches. 79 Transportation: Once material is detached from the channel it can be transported. Transportation is the movementof earth material, in this case, by water. As particle size increases,so too does the velocity neededto transport it. The materialtransportedthrough the stream is it's stream load. Stream load is composed of dissolved or solution load, suspended load, and bed load. The dissolved load comes primarily from groundwater seepage into the stream. Ions in solution also come from the solution of materialsthat line the channel.Suspended load is comprised of sediment suspended and transported through the stream. Turbulent flow suspends clay and silt in the stream. Suspended load comes from material eroded from the surface bordering the channel and deposited in the stream, as well as, erosion of the channel itself. .80 Sediment Transport in Riyers The sand deposits being an integral part of the dynamic river system to which it belongs. Therefore, as a part of natural cycle, the monsoon flow of every river carries with it replenishmentof silt and washed out soil and clay from upstreamareas in the catchment. This silt shall be removedduring the sieving of sand before it is .loaded into truck/tipper/trailer to carry to the consumers. Sand mining is critical to infrastructuredevelopmentaround the globe. Sand is an essential minor mineral used extensively across the country as a useful construction constituentand variety of other uses in sports, agriculture,.glass making (a form of sand with high silica content) etc. The rivers are the most importantsource of Sand. It acts as source of transportationand depositionof sand etc. &1 Annual Replenishment of Mineral in River Bed Areal Sedimentation: The deposition in a river bed is more pronouncedduring rainy season although the quantum of deposition varies from stream to stream depending upon numbers of factors such as catchment, lithology, discharge, river profile and geomorphology of the river course where annual deposition is one meters, but it is noticed that during flood season whole of the pit so excavated is completelyfilled up and as suchthe excavatedarea is replenishedwith newharvest of minerals. In order to calculatethe mineral deposits in the stream beds, the mineralconstituentshave been categorized as clay, silt, sand, 8ajri and boulder. However,during present calculation,the waste material i.e.'silt which varies from 10 to 20% in different streams has also been included in' the total production. Further the Survey of India Topo-Sheets are used as base map to know the extent of river course. The mineral reserves have been calculated only upto 1m depth although there are some portions in the river beds such as channel bars, point bars and central islands where the annual deposition is raising the level of river bed thus causing shifting of the riverstowards banks resultingin to cutting of banks and at such locations, removalof this 81 material upto the bed level is essential to control. the' river flow in its central part to check the bank cutting. While calculating the mineral potentials, the mineral deposits lying in the sub• tributaries of that particular stream/river has not been taken into consideration. Since these mineral deposits are adding annually. Sedimentation is generally considered by geologists in terms .of the textures, structures, and fossil content of the deposits lay down in different geographic and geomorphic environments. The factors which affects the -Computation· of Sedimentll: . i) Geomorphology & Drainage Pattern: The following geomorphicunitsplays importantrole:. ./ Structural Plain ./ Structural Hill ./ Structural Ridge ./ Denudation Ridge& Valley ./ Plain& Plateau ./ HighlyDissected pediment ./ Undissected pediment ii) Distribution of Basin Area River wise iii) Drainage System/Pattern ofthe area, Rainfall & Climate: Year wise Rainfaldata Stream ~Transportation: The solid matter carried' by a stream is the stream load. Illustrates how stream load is carried in three ways-dissolved load, suspended load, or bed load of the three forms, suspended load is generally the largest. A large river such as the Mississippi, for example, carries as much as 90 percent of its load in suspension. Stream capacity measures the maximum solid load of debris-including bed load and suspended load-that can be carried by a stream at a given discharge. It's given in units of tons per day passing downstream at a given location. Stream capacity increases sharply as' stream' velo city rises. This is.because swifter currents are more turbulent, so they can hold more sediment in suspension. The capacity to move bed load also increases with velocity because faster water drags against the bed harder. In fact, the capacity to' move bed load increases according to .the third to fourth power of the 82 velocity. In other words, if a stream's velocity is doubled in times of flood" its ability to transport bed load will increase from 8 to 16 times. So, most of the conspicuous changes in a stream channel occur in a flood. Streams move -downslope under the influence of gravity, the passage of water is called stream flow. Several factors control the amount of sediment that' can be carried by a stream: When waterflow increases, a stream flowing in a, silt, sand, or gravel channel will easily widen and deepen that channel. When the flow slackens, the stream will deposit material in _the bed, filling the channel again. If the stream flows in a hard bedrock channel, it won't, be able to deepen the channel as quickly in response to rising waters, so it may not change much during a single flood. Such conditions exist in streams in deep canyons with steep gradients. STREAM GRADATION: . Most major stream systems have gone through thousands of years of runoff, erosion, and deposition. Over time, the gradients of different parts of the stream adjust so that they just carry the average load of sedimentthat they' receive from slopes and inflowing ·channels.A stream in this conditionis called a graded stream. How does this come about? Visualizea small stream basin in which runoff and overland flow carry sediment to a stream channel. If more sediment accumulateseach year in the stream channel than can be carried away, the surface of the channel will be built up and the slope of the stream will increase. But with increasedslope comes increasedstream velocity and increasedability tocarry sediment. Eventually,the slope will reach a point at which the streamjust carries away the sedimentthat it receives. If sedimentflow to the stream is reduced" the stream will gradually erode its channel downward. This will reduce its slope and also reduce its ability to carry sediment until it can only carry the reducedamount it receivesfrom the hillslopes. , . Since every stream channel experiences this process, eventuallythe whole stream will tend toward a state in which the slopes of all its segmentsform,a coordinatednetworkthat just carries the sediment load contributed by the drainage basin. A stream in this equilibrium condition is referredto as a graded stream. Followingfigure shows how a graded stream might develop on a landscape that is rapidly uplifted, perhaps by a -series of fault steps or blocks, or possibly uncovered after erosion by continental glaciers. The side of the block shows a series, of stream profiles-plots of elevation of the stream with distance from the sea. At first, the stream is ungraded,with large fluctuations in the slope profile. As the stream cuts down, steeperareas are eroded more rapidly, smoothing the profile. Soon the stream has a graded profile, and the slope of each part is just 83 sufficient to carry the average annual load of water and sediment produced by its drainage basin Silt and clay Suspended load Sand ) ______Bed load Gravel 1) yolume of streamflow, 2) the stream gradient, 3) shape of the stream channel,and 4) Kinds and volume of sedimentsavailablefor erosion in a drainagebasin. During floods, the volume and rate of stream flow increases, and erosion along the stream bed mobilizessedimentsthat accumulateduringtimes of decreasingstreamflow. Erosioncarves the sides of stream channels, contributing sediments to streams and allowing the channel to migrate over time. Turbulence in the often violent or unsteady movement and mixing of air or water, or of some other fluid. a most importantfactor influencingsedimenttransport in a stream. A flood is an overflowingof a larg.e amount of water beyorid its normal confines-inundating areas that are typically dry at least part of the year): Floods are linked to seasonal precipitation patterns (such as monsoons or spring snow melt) or catastrophic events (such as intense rainstorms, collapse of natural or manmade dams or levees). Sediments are moved by streams in different ways. Fine grained particles and dissolved componentsare carried in suspension(calledthe suspendedload). With increasing turbulence, the suspendedload increases. Particles that are too heavy to be carried in suspension roll, bounce, and hop along the stream .bed: this process is called saltation. This moving mass of solid material is called the bed load. During floods it is often possibleto hear the roar created by rocks cracking into each other as they tumble along the stream bed. The shape of a stream channel and the stream gradient controls the .amount of sediment that can be transported down stream. In straight channels, stream water moves as laminar parallel vectors, but with increasing speed and when objects hinder flow, the water becomes turbulent, constantly mixing. With increasing speed and turbulence stream water can carry more sediment (and larger particles) is suspension .and as bedload. ·84 Dissolved load Suspen edload , (invisible) (si Itt ~'Iay) The stream capacity is the maximum load of sediment a stream can carry for a given discharge. As one might expect, stream capacity increases with increasing flow velocity. Increasedwater velocity imparts a greaterfrictional drag on bed to erode it. Turbulentflow occurs under higher velocity thus increasing the water's ability to dislodge material from the bed or .sides of the stream. Streamcompetenceis the largest size materialthe stream can move undera given discharge. Solution Bed load is that which is moved across the bed of the channel, Bed load is transported in two ways, traction, which is a scootingand rolling of particlesalong the bed. He second is saltation.a bouncinq-likemovement.Saltationoccurs when particlesare suspendedin the stream for a short distance after which they fall to the bed. dislodging particles from the bed. The dislodged particles move downstreama short distancewhere they fall to the bed. again dislodgingparticles upon impact. Reconstructing climate: . Dissolved load can provide valuable information about the rate of soil formation and other processes of chemical erosion. In particular.the mass balance betweenthe dissolved load and 85 solid phase is helpful in determining surface dynamics. In additien, dissolved lead can be used to. reconstruct the climate of the Earth in the past. This is because chemical weathering is the major contributor to.the dissolved lead of a stream. The chemical weatherinq of silicate rocks is the . primary sink fer carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, because atmospheric carbon diexide is converted into. carbonate rocks in the carbenate-silicate cycle. Carbon dioxide concentrations are the primary control of the greenheuse effect, which determines the temperature of the Earth. Denudation: Denudationis the process of wearing away the top layers of Earth's landscape. 'Because ,the rate of denudation is normally tee small to. directly. measure, it can· be indirectly determined by measuring the sediment lead ef the streams that drain the area in question. This is possible because any material that passes through a certain point en a stream is guaranteed to. have come from semewhere in the stream's drainage basin upstream of that point, As topoqraphic relief increases, the dissolved lead's contribution to. the total stream lead decreasesdue to.the fact that on steeper surfaces, rain is less likely to.infiltratethe rocks, leading to. less chemical weathering,which decreasesthe dissolvedlead. 62 What is Sediment Deposition? Sediment is necessary to . the development of aquatic ecosystems threugh nutrient . replenishmentand the creation of benthic habitat and spawning areas. These benefits occur When the flew rate due to.sediment deposition- when suspended particles settle dewn to. the bottom of a body of water. This settling often occurs when water flew slews dewn er steps and heavy particles can no.lenger be supported by the bed turbulence. Sediment deposition can be found anywhere in a water system, from high mountain streams, to. rivers, lakes, deltas and floodplains. However, it should be noted that while sediment is important fer aquatic habitat grewth, it can cause environmentalissues if the depositionrates are tee high, er tee lew. Sediment transportation and Deposition is depends upon various factors like Slepe of the Area, Annual -. .Rainfall, Lithelegy,flowintensityof .River, Geornorpholoqy,Soil, Geelegyand Land use. changes, some sediment can settle out of the water, adding to point bars, channel bars and beaches 86 83 River Replenishment Study: The need for replenishment study for river bed sand is required in order to nullify the adverse impacts arising due to excessing sand extraction. Mining within or near riverbed has a direct impact on the stream's physical characteristics, such as channel geometry, bed elevation, substratum composition and stability; in-stream roughness of the bed, flow velocity, dischargecapacity,sedimenttransport capacity,turbidity,temperatureetc. Alterationor modification of the above attributes may cause an impact on the ecological equilibrium of the riverine regime, disturbance in channel configuration and flow-paths. This'may also,cause an adverse impact on instream biota and riparian habitats. It is assumed that the riparian habitat disturbance is minimum if the replenishment is equal to excavation for a given stretch: Therefore,to minimize the adverse impact arising out of sand mining in'a given river stretch, it is imperative to have a study of replenishmentof materialduringthe defined period, 8.3.1 Generic; Structure of Replenishment Study: Initially replenishmentstudy requiresfour surveys, The first survey needs to be carried out in the monthof April for' recording the level of rnininq lease before the monsoon. The second survey is at the time of closing of mines for monsoon season.This survey will provide the quantity of the material excavated before the offset of monsoon. The third survey needs to.be carried out after the monsoon to know the quantum of material deposited/replenishedif' the mining lease. The fourth survey at the end of March to know the quantity of material excavated during the financial'year. For the subsequent years, there will be a requirement of only three, surveys. The results of year-wise surveys help the state government to establish the replenishmentrate of the river. Basedon the replenishmentrate future auction may be planned. The replenishmentperiod may vary on nature of the channel and season of deposition arising due to variation in the flow" Such period and season may vary on the geographical and precipitationcharacteristicof the region and requires to be defined by the local agencies preferable with the help of the - Central Water Commission and Indian Meteorological Department. The excavation'will, therefore, be limited to estimated replenishment estimated with considerationof other regulatoryprovisions. 8.3.2 Methodology for Replenishment Study: The replenishmentestimation is based on a theoretical empirical formula with the estimation of bedloadtransport comprisingof analytical modelsto calculatethe replenishmentestimation.The iso-pluvialmaps of IMD can be usedfor estimationof rainfall.Catchmentyield is computedusing different standard empirical'formulas relevant to the geographical and channel attributes. ego Strange's Monsoon runoff curves for runoff coefficient). Peak flood discharge for the study, area can be calculated by using Dickens, Jarvis and Rational formula at 25, 50 and 100 years return period.The estimation of bed load transport using Ackers and White Equation or similar can be made.A simulation model is used with basic data generatedfrom the field in the pre-study and post-study period (preferably pre-monsoon and post-monsoon)to estimate the volume of replenished material. The particle size distribution and bulk density of the deposited'materialare requiredto be assessedfrom a NABL recognizedlaboratory.Considering .the bulk density and the volume, the estimation of replenishment in weight will be calculated after consideringsafeguardsand stability of the slopes and riverine regime. Some ,of the commonmethodsused for field data acquisitionfor replenishmentstudy. 8.3.3 Physical Survey of the field by the Conventional Met~od: 1 The conventional survey technical using DGPS and other survey tools are used to define the topography, contours and offsets of the lease area.' The survey should clearly 8 depict the important attributes of the stretch of the river and its nearby important civil and other feature of importance. Such information will provide the eligible spatial area for mining. The contour and the elevation benchmarks will provide the baseline data for assessing the pre and post-study period scenario. D. Physical benchmarksare to be fixed at appropriate intervals (preferable 1 in 30 m) and the Reduced Level (RL) shall be validatedfrom a nearby standard RL. These RL should be engraved on a steel plate (Bench Plate) and shall be fixed and placed at locations which are free from any damages and are available in pre and post-study period. The bench plates shall be available for use during the mining period as reference for all mining activity. Reference pillar may also be used in place of Bench Plates with visible and readable demarcation on the ground as common reference points to control the topographicsurvey and mining activity. iii Baselinedata on elevationstatusfor a grid of 10m x 10m is preferred to have accuracy in the assessment. It is expected that two consecutive cross-sections in longitudinal and lateral direction should not be more than 1a-meter distance apart, however, the regulatory authority may fix these intervals depending on the geographical and site• specific conditions, only and after providing the scientific reason for such deviation. iv The changes observed in the elevation in per and post scenario at each node should be depicted in graphicalforms with an appropriatescale to estimatethe area of deposition and erosion. These graphicalpresentations should depict the active channel regime and the flow bed elevation with other important features required to be considered for estimation of the mining area. The area of deposition and erosion shall be calculated for each cross-section after giving due regard to the stability and safety of active channel banks, and other features of importance. The elevation level shall be in referenceto the nearest bench-plates establishedfor the purpose. v The levels (MSL & RL) of the corner point of each grid should be identifiable and safety barriers (Non-Mining) demarcated as restricted in consensus with Mineral Concession Rules of respectiveState, and the provision mentioned in this Sustainable Sand Mining ManagementGuidelines. VI A clear identification is required to be highlighted between grids under mineable and grids under the non-mineable area. These baseline data (pre and post) be subjected. to stimulation with the help of data mine software to derive at the replenishment area and correspondingvolume and estimatedweight. vii The databaseshould be structured in a tabulatedform clearly depicting the nomenclature of the section lines, latitude and longitude of the starting point, chain-age and respective levels of all the points taken on that section line. viii Net area shall be derived after the summationof the area of deposition minus area of erosion for each cross-section. The volume will be estimated by multiplyingthe distance between two cross-sections with the. average of net area of these two consecutivecross-sections.ix One sample per 900 square meters (30 m x 30 m) shall be preferred sample density for assessmentof bulk density for estimation of deposition rate. Care should betaken that the sample for assessment of bulk density is taken from the deposition zone and not from erosion. However,dependingon the site condition, river morphologyand geographicalcondition, sample density may be adjusted. Reason for such deviation shall be appropriately highlighted in the report with supporting scientificdata. 8.3.4 Use of UAV/Drone and other image data processing techniques: 88 With the development in image data processing tools and its accuracy acceptability, Drone/UAV fitted with the advance camera are used for survey purposes. Such technology has promising potential in the survey of sand mining zones due to its fast and reliable output deliveries. The survey is conducted using a set of instruments and compatible software to utilized the properly referenced data for depicting the topography of the study area. Instrument calibration' and software compatibility and its validation with the ground data are an essential requirement for using this technique. The details of the instruments their limitation and software used shall be demonstrated in the form of the accuracy assessment report, through a chapter in the replenishment study report. Other details to be incorporated in the report with regard to the study using such imaginary techniques shall highlight the followings: Flight Planning: The lease co-ordinates and the flight plan devised to capture the front and side overlap percentagesfor in each flight in referenceto global coordinates(Kml or SHP file) system. The software used for the purpose and its details along with limitations with basic analytical assumptions. Block File generation: This operation concerns the selection of the· sensor model and the definition of block properties,the addition of imagery to the block file, marking of GCPs, generation of tie points and refiningof the model. Interior orientation: The interior orientation of the stereo pair rational polynomial coefficients (RPC) used, which should be bundled with the scenes. RPCs are coefficient, which is used by photogrammetric softwareto representthe ground to-imageviewing geometry. Exterior orientation: For exterior orientation,ground control points shall be used, which are collectedfrom the DGPS survey. Aero Triangulation: A critical phase in photogrammetricmapping is to rectify the satellite imagery at an appropriate tract on the surface of the earth. This is accomplishedby collecting horizontaland vertical data [GCP's] to ascertainthe spatial location of a numberof features that arevisibleand measurable on the aerial images - this process is often called control bridging, which refers to passing horizontaland vertical informationfrom one aerial imageto the next. Ortho Generation: After runningthe above steps; the softwareshall automaticallygenerateorthorectifiedimagery. DTM extraction: For extractionof DTM, Generatedpoint cloud data classifiedmanuallyto extract bare earth. 8 Accuracy Assessment of Aerial Data: To check the accuracy of DTM generated by Aerial data, few points are selected and compared with on-site by using DGPS instrument for the ground-truthing purpose. It is preferred to do grou'nd-truthihg at minimum 5 locations spread evenly across the lease area. The readings from the DGPS instrument are then compared with the Drone data for accuracy assessment. - REPLENISHMENTSTUDIES BY DANDY· BOLTON EQUATION: Replenishment Rate is the rate at which Bajri is transported into the river channel,which is under examinationor subjected to sand extraction. This volume is'often consideredas sustainableyield of that river. Estimation of Bajri discharge through stream bed and its residence period (temporary'deposition) is one of the most difficult task in sediment budgetingas it requires sophisticatedinstrumentsand establishment of many gauging stations. It is axiomatic that during high flow period; Bajri which is otherwise moved by siltation, (Le., partially suspension and partially bed load) will completely be in suspension in the overlying waters. The best way for sediment discharge computation is to collect and analyze water samples from a river reach where the entire .particles come into suspension.It can be assumedthat the Bajri and other coarser sediments in suspension would be deposited mainly in the river segment. The replenishmentrate approach has the virtue of scaling extractionto the river load in' a general way, but bed load transport can be notoriouslyvariable from year to year. Thus, this approachis probably better if permitted extraction rates are based on new deposition that year rather than on long- term average bed load yields. The mined reach is the' "upstream" sediment source' for downstream reaches, so mining at the replenishmentrate. could be expected to produce hungry water conditions downstream. Sediment yield estimation is an .important parameter in the .evaluation of the sediment effects on the projects and activities occurring due to land use-. Estimation of annual sediment yield produced from a single rainfall event requires applying . many approaches to get acceptable.and valid results. These approaches were classified as a single event approachand an average annual approach, knowingthat the most project designs require quantitative estimation of the transported sediment volumes resulting from a single rainfallevent. There are many sedimenttransport equations which are suitable for use in the predictionof the replenishmentrate of rivers/watershed.Some of the famous sedimenttransport equationsare: Dandy - Bolton Equation Yang Equations Engelund Hansen Equatiol1 1. Modified UniversalSoil Loss Equation(MUSLE) developed by Williams and Berndt (1977) - it includes only one type of sediment yield (sheet and rill Erosion). Dandy Bolton formula is often used to calculate the sedimentationyield. The formula uses catchment area and mean annual runoff as key determinants to give a yield value: It does not differentiatein basin wide.smaller streams and their characteristics.Dandy and Bolton equation calculates all types of sediment yield i.e. sheet and rill Erosion,'gully Erosion, channel Bed and bank erosion and mass movementetc. 8.4 DANDY BOLTON EQUATION: Dandy Bolton formula is often. used to calculate the sedimentation yield. But use of these equationsto predict sediment yield for a specific locationwould be unwise becauseof the wide variability caused by local factors not considered in the equations development. However, they may provide a quick, rough approximationof mean sediment yields on a regional' basis for-preliminary- watershed planning. Computed sediment yields normally would be low for' 90 highly erosive areas and high for well stabilized drainage basins with high plant density because the equations are derived from average values. The equations express the general relationships between sediment yield, runoff, and drainage area. Many variables influence sediment yield from a drainage basin. They include climate, drainage area, soils, geology, topography, vegetation and land use. The effect of any of these variables may vary greatly from one geographic location to another, and the relative importance of controlling factors often varies within a given land resource area: Studies revealed that sediment yield per unit area generally decreases as drainage area increases. As drainage area increases, average land slopes usually decrease; and there is less probability of an intense rainstorm over the entire basin. Both phenomena lend to decrease sediment yield per unit area. In arid regions, sparse precipitation and low run off are the limiting factors. As precipitation increases, density of vegetation also increases, resulting in less erosion. In areas with adequate and evenly distributed precipitation, vegetation· thus becomes the limitinq- factor. The accuracy of the sedimentation surveys varied, ranging from reconnaissance type measurements of sediment deposits to' detailed surveys consisting of closely spaced cross sections or contours . .Runoff data are translated to inches per year per unit area and sediment deposition data to tons per year per square.mile of net drainage area. Net drainage area is defined as the sediment contributing area and normally excluded areas above upstream reservoirs or other structures that were effective sediment traps. Actual sediment yields undoubtedly Were slightly higher becausemost reservoirsdo not trap inflowingsediment. . Sediment Yield vs. Drainage Area: On the average, sediment yield is inversely proportional to the 0.16 power of drainage area between 1 and 30,000square miles. Sediment Yield vs. Runoff: Sediment yield increasedsharply to about 1,860 tons per square mile per year as run off increased from 0 to about 2 inches. As runoff increased from 2 to about 50 inches, sediment yield decreased exponentially. Because. sediment yield must approach zero as runoff approacheszero, a curve throughthe plotted points must beginat the origin. The abrupt change in slope of a curvethrough the data points at Q equals 2. inches precluded the development of a continuous function that would adequately define this relationship. Thus, there are two equationsderivedfor when Q was less than 2 inchesand when Q was greaterthan 2 inches. , Combined Effect of Drainage area and Run off on Sediment Yield: Dandy Bolton determined the combined influence of runoff and drainage area on sediment yield to compute the sediment yield. They developedtwo equations i.e. for run off less than 2 inch and for run off morethan 2 inch, which are given below: 5. For run off lessthan 2 inches (Q < 2 in) S=1280*(0) 0.46 *[1.43-0.26Log(A)] 2. For run off morethan 2 inches (Q > 2 in): S= 1958*(e- 0.055*Q)*[1.430.26Log (A)] . Where: S = Sedimentyield (tons/sq miles/yr)Q = MeanAnnual runoff (inch) A = Net CatchmentArea in sq mile ii.

Parli Digrass-2 Godavari 4.5 2.50 From the above data, it shows that thickness of sand allowed for mining in year 2020-21 is above 2 meters as per sand policy of Maharashtra government dated 3rd January 2018 and Certified by state government ground water survey and development agency. Replenishment rate of river sand varies from year to year and affected by various factors like Annual Rainfall, Lithology, and Flow rate of Water, Geology, and Geomorphology etc. Physical monitoring requirements of sand and gravel extraction activities should include surveyed channel cross-sections, longitudinal profiles, bed material measurements, geomorphic maps, and discharge and sediment transport measurements. The physical data will illustrate bar replenishment' and any changes in channel morphology, bank erosion, or particle size. In addition to local monitoring for replenishment at specific mining sites, monitoring of the entire ' reach through the 'river will provide informatiori on the cumulative response of the system to sand and gravel extraction. For example, it is important for downstream bars and the River to receive sufficient sand and grav~1 to maintain its structure and function. Because the elevation of the bed of the channel is variable from year to year, a reach-based approach to monitoring will provide a larger context for site-specific changes. If long-term monitoring data show that there is a reach- scale trend of bed lowering, the extraction could be limited.' 94 BEED DISTRICT Drainage Pattern 'TI cC' .....I\,) s:: £I) "!=! c !. ::J £I) cc CD 3 £I) "0 s" :::r -CD C ! ::::!. a 'kma,14 7' 0 14 28kma 9.· GENERAL PROFILE OF THE. DISTRICT: Beed District was a part' of the former Hyderabad State until 1956. Between 1956 and 1960, it was a partof the Bi-lingual Bombay State. Finally, since May 1960, it is one of the 35 districts of the Maharashtra state. Location: Beed is one of the District of Marathwada areas of Maharashtra. It is situated flanked by Aurangabad and Jalna District in the North, Parbhani in the East, Latur in the South East, Osrnanabad in the South and Ahmadngar District in the West and Southwest. It is bounded by North Latitude 18°28' and 19°28' East Longitude between 74°48' and !6°45'. The District headquarters is located at Beed Town. For administrative purpose the district has been divided in 11 talukas viz., Beed, Georai, Patoda, Ashti, Shirur (Kasar), Ambajogai, Kaij, Majalgaon, Dharur, Parali (Vaijnath) and Wadwani shown in the fig. 1. As per census 2011, the population of the district is 25.85 lakh. The district has 6 towns and 1360 villages. The major part of the district comes under Godavari basin. Godavari, Manjara and sina are the major river that drains the district along with their tributaries . . The District is divided in to Subdivisions and talukas.

PHYSIOGRAPHY OF THE DISTRICT: Physiography is one of the dominate parameter of physical environment and its impact on patterns and density of agriculture is immense. The study of the influence of environment upon. the nature and the distribution of crop and livestock is of prime importance in agricultural geography. Beed is situated in the Deccan black basalt stone, ranges of Balaqhat that constitutes main rang from Ahmednagar in the west, to the border of district Beed in the East. This range divides the district into two parts. The plain area in the north is called as Gangathadi (bank of Ganga• Godavari) and the higher part is called as Ghat at Balaghat. Many hills exceed 2500 feet mark from the sea-level Balabhat range is found in between heights of 2000 and 2200 feet, whereas the plain is called Gangathadi and it has the heights between 1200 and 1500 feet from the sea . level. The Beed district can be divided in to three broad physiographic divisions as: A) The low land region, B) The High land region, C) Low lying undulating region or sina basin 7e'O'O"E 78'10'O"E 76'20'O"E 76·30'O·E Elevation Details c:=J 295-354 m c=::J 355-431 m· .U4-4nm ,,13-531 m 532-590m c==: 591.649 m 650.708m - 7019.7f>l m BEED District Digital Elevation Map -c==: 768.826m 75'10'O"E 75'20'O"E - Fig. 23: Map- Digital Elevation Map (Source: NRSC CARTOSAT DATA) 98 7S·0·O"E 7S·10·O"E 7S"20'O"E BEED DISTRICT SLOPE MAP •• 7S"20'O"E 'TS"30'O"E Fig" 24: Map- Slope Map (Source: NRSC CARTOSAT DATA) SEED DISTRICT Physiography ,---- ~ H A 11,.14 7. 14 2I1UM IIIiiiijjI!

The year may be divided into four seasons.The cold seasonfrom Decemberto Februaryis followed by the hot season from March to May. The period from June to September is the south-west monsoon seasonwhile October and Novemberconstitutethe post-monsoonseason, The average annual rainfallfor the district is 750.1 mm. The rainfall in the district increasesfrom the west to the east, varying from 665.3 mm at Ashti near the western border to 850.6 mm at Mominabad near the eastern border. About 80 per cent of the annual rainfall is received in the south-west monsoon period. September is the rainiest month. The variation in the rainfall from year to year is fairly large. The cold weather commences towards the end of Novemberwhen temperatures begin to fall. December is the coldest month, with the mean daily minimum temperature at about 120C and the mean daily maximumat about 290C. In the cold season the district is sometimesaffected by . cold waves in association with the passage eastwards of western disturbances across north India. On such occasions the minimumtemperaturesmay drop to about 30C or 40C. The rapid rise in temperaturesstarts only by about the beginningof March - May is the hottest month with the mean daily maximum temperature at about 420C. On individual days the day temperature may be as high as 460C. With the advanceof the south-west monsoon into the districtby about the second week of June the temperatures fall appreciably and the weather is pleasant throughout the south-west monsoon season. By about the first week of October the monsoon withdraws and the day temperatures increase slightly and a secondary maximum is reached in October.Thereafterthe temperaturesbeginto decreasegradually. The relative humidity is high during the south-west monsoon.season. After September the humidity decrease gradually and in the cold and summer seasons the air is dry, particularly in the afternoonswhen relative humiditymay be less than 30 per cent. Winds are moderate in .strength in the latter half.of summer and in the south-west monsoon period and light in the rest ofthe year. During the south-west monsoon season, winds blow predominantly from directionsbetween south-west and north-west. In the post-monsoon and winter monthswinds are from directions betweeneast and north 565. Sr. Rainfall Recorded During the period from 1 June to 31 October in mm.

The water levels, between 5 and 10m bgl are seen central-western patch i.e., almost entire Shirur, Patoda and southern parts of Beed and Ashti talukas. Shallow water levels less than 2 m bgl are observed in parts of Georai, Beed, Wadwani and Ambajogaitalukas. Seasonal Water Level Fluctuation- The seasonal rise ill water levels in the district ranges from 0.011 (Kanherwadi) to 1.55 m (Tintarwani). In major parts of the district' water level fluctuation in the range of 0 to 2 m is observed in northern and western parts of the district occupying parts of Georai, Wadwani, Majalgaon,Shirur-Kasar,Patoda and Ashti. Water level fluctuation in the range of 2 to 4 m is observed in central and southern parts of the district and fluctuation of more than 4 m is ' observed in parts of Ambejogaiand Kaijtalukas. Water Level Trend .Trend of water levels for pre-monsoonand post-monsoonperiod for last ten years have been computed for 43 NHNS. The analysis of trend indicatesthat during pre-monsoonperiod, rise in water level has been recorded at 26 stations and it ranges between 0.06 (Dharampuri) and 1.30 m/year (Badrapur2). The fall in water level trend has been observed at only 2 stations and it ranges between 0.04 (Maul) and 0.08 m/year (Khadkat). During post• monsoon period, rise in water levels has been recorded at 16 stations and it rang.esfrom 0.04 (Adas) to 1.26 m/year (Tintarvani),whereas at 15 stations, fall in water level ranging between Negligible (Pali) and 1.51 m/year (Pendgaon) is observed. Thus especially during post• monsoon period declining trends of water levelshave been observed. 103 The pre-monsoon water level trend map was also prepared for the period May 2002-2011 and the same is. presented in Fig. 15. A perusal of the map indicates that in major part of the district the rising trend of water level in the range 0 to 0.20 m/year is observed. The falling trend of water level in the range of 0 to 0.20 m/year is observed in northern eastern parts of the district (in parts of Georai and Seed talukas) and in south-eastern (parts of Ambejogai and Parli talukas).and western part of the district (in Ashti taluka).

In winter, 'there is much less rainfall than in summer. Beed receives low rainfall because it is located in rain shadow area. . 16. GEOLOGYOF THE DISTRICT The Beed distrlct is occupied by Basalt formations belonging to Deccan traps of Cretaceous• Eoceneage shown in fig. 16 & fig. 17. The basalt formations belongto th~ type called "Plateau Basalts"and uniform in composition correspondingto that of Dolerite or Basalt with an average . specificgravity of 2.9. They are dark grey to dark greenish grey in color. The traps have been distinguished into the vesicular and-non-vesiculartype. The non-vesiculartypes are hard, compactandmedium to fine grained in texture. Sometimesthey break with conchoidalfracture. The vesicular types are soft and tend to break with more ease. Geological map of Beed District is shown at geological survey of the district has brought the existence of 35 flows in the district. The basalt flows are mostly horizontal in their deposition and they occur one above the other, in,order of its eruption. Thus the oldest flow occurs at the bottom and youngest at the top. The thickness of individual flow rangesfrom 2-3 meterto~57 m with averagethickness of 15 m. In Beed district, based on the petrology of the flows, two district divisions have been noticed in 104 the basalts. One consists 'of basalts located in the altitude range of 390 m AMSL. In this the thickness of the individual flow ranges from three meter to twelve meter rarely exceeding 15 m. The flows are invariably separated by Red bole formations. Further Green bole, the Black boles exist simultaneously in the same horizon. The lava flows are generally composite flows made up of three units viz. Massive at the bottom, Amyqdalotoal/veslcular basalt in' the middle and red bole at the top. Although red bole is particular in disposition sometimes they are totally missing Massive basalt and vesicular basalt, sometimes shows vide variation in lateral thickness. The amygdules are generally filled with zeolites. The zeolites trap has high weathering potential. The second type of Basalt occurs from'550 m to 890 m. These are the part of Balaghat range. In all fourteen flows are identified in this group with seven red bole horizons, having thickness of '0.2 to 1 meter, The thickness of individual flow ranges from 3-4 to 30 m. The thickness of amygdaloidal basalt is comparatively thin. The weathering of basalt in initial stages normally gives rise to brown fragment material with admixture of Brown/pale yellow soil. But with intensive weathering yellowish brown and black cotton soil is formed, which forms vast spreads in different places in the district Nodules of kanker are frequent occurrences in the black cotton soil. , The joints and fractures are mainly formed during cooling of magma and are therefore confined to individual flows only. However shear zones or fracture zones expressed as lineaments at the surface, are seen to traverse through several flow units. General secondary fractures are NE• SW and NW SE. At few locations (Manjarsumbha Ghat Section) cooling joints in hexagonal and pentagonal patterns has been observed. This jeining pattern is' different from conventional hexagonal jointing. In Beed district hexagonal joints are in fan shape at the bottom they radiate from a common point to outward and upward with increasing intensity. 105 SEED DISTRICT N HYDROGEOLOGY A INDEX --- lineament ~ River , Water BodylReseJVoir D HillyArea .

Differences in soil texture, drainage and fertility are of major importancein explainingcontrastsin agriculturefrom one regionof to another. 107 Unlike climate, soils should not be regarded as a part of the natural endowment of an area. In fact, it is agriculture that modifies soils, except certain virgin soils which can retain their original characteristics. On the whole, soils constitute the physical base, for any agricultural enterprise. Farming ,is a business and good soil is part of the farmer's stock in trades. Good soils are suitable to the extent that man makes judicious use of them -our standard of living which predominantly depends on agriculture which often determined by a combination of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the soils, crops and livestock raised on the. Crop growth is determined to considerable extent by the amount of nutrients in the soils. The main factor that has influenced the development of soils in Beed, district is. the undulating and hilly topography. The soils of varying are to be found through the district. Deep black soils covers about 12.76% portion the Beed district. While medium black soil cover 65% and shallow soil cover 22.74% of the district The soil in the district (Fig. 18) can be classified into four main categories on the basis of depth and structure namely: a) Shallow soils (with depth below 7 inches) b) Moderate deep black soils (between 7 inches to 9 inches) c) Medium deep black soils (between 9 inches to 27 inches) d) Very Deep black soils (between 27inches to 45 inches) a) Shallow soils:- The shallow soils of Beed district have dark brown to dark yellowish brown color, single grain to block structure and sandy loan to loamy texture. These are found in some ports of Georai, Kaij and Ashti tahsils. b) Moderate deep black soils» The moderately deep soils are found in hilly and undulating area of Georai, Patoda, and Ashti, the color of the soil is darkbrown. dark reddish brown or dark grey brown. .c) Medium deep black soils:- The medium deep soil is found in every tahsils particularly on· the banks of various streams. It has dark brown or black color and is granulor or blacky in structure and sandy loam to clay in texture. The type of soil responds favorably to the nitrogenous and phosphates fertilizers. d) Very deep black Soils:- These soils are to be found in Georai, Ambajogai and Majalgaon, particularly these soils are found in the river valley of Manjara, sinus, Bend Sara, Godavari, Chousala, Rena, Kaij and Sarswati etc. Their color changes from dark brown to black and so also the texture changes from clay loam to clayey. 108 BEED DISTRICT Soils H A Fig. 33: Soil types of Beed District (Source: Department of Public Administration) • DISTRICT WISE DETAILS OF RIVER OR STREAM AND OTHER SAND SOURCES Drainage includes surface as well as underground flow of natural water. It is related to cloudiness, insulation, humidity, precipitation, wind velocity, wind direction, surface flow, and also related to nature of topography, vegetation, soil cover and its human utilization pattern. Wainganga is the main river in the Beed District. It flows for 1,465 km, first eastwards across the Deccan Plateau then turns southeast, entering the West Godavari district and East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, until it splits into two distributaries that widen into a large river delta and flow into the Bay of Bengal. 16.1 Godavari River Basin Extent: Longitude Latitude 73° 24' to 83° 4' E16° 19' to 22° 34' N Length of Godavari River (Km) 1465 Catchment Area (Sq.km.) 312812 Average Water Resource Potential (MCM) 110540 No. of Hydrological Observation Stations (maintained 77 by CWC) No. of Flood Forecasting Stations (maintained by CWC) 18 109 Legend fD Stale ~ .. ~ 0IIIce • __ IIoCE/CO/DO 000 .',00 • GOS '.040050[)ami_I Fig. 34: Godavari River Basin in Beed district.

District wise details of existing mining leases o'f sand and aggregates: District administration every year survey the sand deposits as per rules framed by Govt. of Maharashtra policy dated 03.09.2019 and after all legal clearances. There are about 21 feasible sand ~hats identified by administration for scooping of sand for 2020-21. District administration, sub divisional officer and tahsildar are granted the mining lease or short-term permit for the other minor minerals, as per Maharashtra minor mineral (extraction and regulations) rule 2013. List of proposed , sand ghats in the District is attached as follows: No of Leases of aggregates Total Area in ha Mineable Reserves Available in MT . 60 80.37 788726 Annual Deposition: Annual deposition is calculated by considering watershed area in km2, Annual Rainfall in mm 3-4 Average Watershed slope, Drainage density in Km-1, Vegetative cover factor, Annual precipitation in cm, mean annual runoff in cm, mean annual temperature for Godavari river and plotted on district map as: Sand (MT) Total Minable Potential (MT) 546928' 410196 • Other Information Sand Mining Process and Method:- River mining processes and methods are based on volume based permit mining as per measured annual replenishment. The bullet points of these methods are as below, a) Parts of the river reaches that experience deposition or aggradations shall be identified first. Joint inspection committee may be allowed to extract the sand deposit in these locatlons to lessen aggradations problem. b) The distance between sites for sand mining shall depend on the replenishment rate of the river and prescribed distance limit from Public drinking water sources, Railway bridge, Road bridge . etc as given in Sustainable sand mining management guidelines 2016. Sediment rating curve for the potential sites shall be developed and checked against the extracted volumes of sand, c) Sand may be extracted across the, entire active channel during October to next year of September, No sand mining will be allowed under water or under flood. d) Layers of sand which could be removed from 'the river bed shall depend on the width of the river and replenishment rate of the river. e) Sand shall. not be allowed to be extracted where erosion may occur, such as at the .concave bank. f) Sand shall not be extracted within 100.0 meter or as suggested by Senior Hydrologist, Groundwater Survey and Development agency' from any crucial hydraulic structure such as pumping station, water intakes. g) Sand and gravel mining could be extracted from the downstream of the sand bar at river bends. Retaining the upstream one to two thirds of the bar and riparian vegetation is accepted as a method to promote channel stability. h) Flood discharge capacity of the river could be maintained in areas where there are significant , flood hazard to existing structures or infrastructure. Sand mining may be allowed to maintain the natural flow capacity based on surveyed cross section history. 113 ANNEXURE11 ..RIVER. CROSS. ' ......
