Pre -Feasibility Report 111 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Potgaon Sand Quarry area is situated in Tahsil- Wadsa (Desaiganj), District- Gadchiroli, Maharashtra. It is located towards SE of town Wadsa (Desaiganj) at khasra No- 112. The Quarry area is located on the Wainganga river bed, towards NW of village Potgaon. The area is approachable from Gadchiroli through Kurkheda Road and the distance is about 3.50 kms towards North. The climate of the area is tropical with well marked summer/ winter and rainy season. The sand available in the lease area (river bed) shall be mined (raised) by opencast method of mining. The river bed will be explored by few trial pits (after grant of Mining lease) to evaluate the quantum of sand available within the lease area. However accordingly, a rough estimate of about 884 Brass/Annum sand has been assessed to be available in the area. The Mining Plan and Progressive Mine Closure Plan has been approved by DGM govt. of Maharashtra. Copy of Mining Plan and Progressive Mine Closure Plan is enclosed as ANNEXURE ––– I.I.I. The mining will be carried out by Open-cast manual method as per the Mining Plan and Progressive Mine Closure Plan only. The entire mining area is Govt. land with no forest land involved. The proposed production is 884 Brass/Annum. Sand is one of the most sought- building materials for the construction purpose. Since Sand has hard texture and durability. It is used chiefly for construction, pavement of roads and imperviousness to moisture and acid. Sand is a perfect countertop material. The Proposed Mine will also generate plenty of employment opportunity for local people. Economy and socio – economic level of the area will also improve and there will the opportunity for education, health and & sanitation, transport and other development. The living standards of the
