INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 Identification of the project and project proponent M/s BBC Brick Field soil deposits at village- Padma, P.S- Padma, Dist-Hazaribag, (Jharkhand) over an area of 2.28 Acres of land (equivalent to 0.923Ha.). Applicant Name & Full address Sri Pradeep Prasad Name Mehta Village Chaprakh Post Office Ichak Police station Ichak Dist Hazarribag State Jharkhand Pin 825411 2.2 Brief Description of Nature of Project: The project is open cast manual mining of minor mineral in the form of brick clay material. The total mineable reserves as estimated within the leasehold area are at present approximately 12520m3 and approximately 1715.06 m3 per season minor mineral will be extracted. The mining will be done only up to a depth of 2.0 m for brick earth mineral and top soil is 0.2 m. The ultimate depth of the mine is 2 m or above ground water level. The methodology of the mine is given below: • Mining will be carried out during day light hours. • Brick clay being soft in nature, requires no drilling and blasting and therefore no ground vibration will get generate. • Depth of the excavation from surface will be limited to 2.0m and (First 0.20m will be topsoil layer). • Approximately 1715.06 cum/season minor mineral will be extracted. • The mining operation will be manually, using tools like shovel, spade, sieve etc. 2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region 2.3.1 Need for the project and importance in the country Due to the increase urbanization now days, there is an increase in demand of minor minerals like brick earth and clay. Hence the execution of mining activities for extraction of soil is in process. The main objective of the project is to fulfill the growing demand of the brick earth and clay in 3 PFR for Padma Brick clay mines of M/s BBC Brick (Proprietor: Sri Pradeep Prasad Mehta), Village- Padma, P.S- Padma, Dist-Hazaribag, Jharkhand. the field of development and construction. Brick clay is mainly used in construction purposes. Looking into the potential mineable resources of soil deposit the main objective is to develop mineable property scientifically and systematically for commercial benefit of indigenous industries and secondly increase of state exchequer by paying royalties to the state Government and thirdly to boost up the socio economic status of the poor inhabitants of this area by producing employment opportunity to earn more. 2.3.2 Demand and Supply Gap The demand for brick is ever growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our country. The requirement for the mineral is always high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore there is always a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market. 2.3.3 Imports V/s indigenous production The demand in the domestic market is high. Brick mineral is available in abundant quantity in the contracted area. Import does not apply in the present case of brick. 2.3.4 Export possibility The brick earth will be marketed in the local market only. There is no export possibility at present. 2.3.5 Domestic/Exports Markets The brick earth will be marketed in the local market only. 2.3.6 Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project Mining operation shall be carried out by manual method. The labours shall be engaged for excavation and shifting from the site under supervision of the competent supervisors. There are 19 labours provided for loading purpose. The labour shall be engaged depending on the requirement. 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any The proposed project for mining of brick earth material is an independent project in which minerals excavated will be directly prepare of brick and sold in the local markets. It does not involve interlinked and interdependent project. 4 PFR for Padma Brick clay mines of M/s BBC Brick (Proprietor: Sri Pradeep Prasad Mehta), Village- Padma, P.S- Padma, Dist-Hazaribag, Jharkhand. 3.2 Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout) with coordinates: The project site is located at Village- Padma, P.O- Surajpura, P.S.- Padma, Dist-Hazaribag (Jharkhand), over an area 2.28 acres (0.923 ha) of Proprietor: Shri Pradeep Prasad Mehta, R/o.- Village- Chaprakh, P.O.- Ichak, P.S.- Padma, Dist-Hazaribag (Jharkhand).

Thus, 12520 cum of soil gives 4382000 nos. of bricks. As per huge demand Lessee wants to produce a 6, 00, 000.00 Bricks/Season i.e. six months. So, Applicant required approximately 1715.06 sum of soil/season i.e. for six months. Proposed Method of Mining: Opencast Manual Mining method will be adopted for this mining operation. The mining is confined to collection of soil from the soil. The operation will be manually with the help of spade, hands shovel in which the soil material will be collected in its existing form. Brick earth mining will be carried out only up to a depth of 2m by following dry pit mining. It is a open cast manual mine. After excavating the top soil then up to a depth of 1.8 m and the collected materials is used for bricks purposes. The excavation is going to be carried out by means of manual labours. The finished materials or bricks are used by the end user in this locality or in local market. The mining is done on single shift basis. The local man power has been engaged in the mine. The lessee has decided to excavate up to a depth of 2 m. The top soil generated during quarry operation is spread over the lease area for future cultivation. The total excavated material out of top soil is sellable so no waste will be generated from the mining process. There is no provision of dumping within the quarry. As per notification Brick field located within a radius of 100 kilometers from any coal based Thermal Plant should utilize fly ash for its Total Raw materials (as per Fly Ash Utilization Rules, 1999 and its amendment made thereafter by the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change, Government of India). Estimation of numbers of brick: Volume of each brick is approx. 0.00246 m3. In 6 months, approximately 1715.06 m3 brick earth will be excavated (i.e. mineable reserve). As per general practice 1 cum soil will yield 350 nos. 7 PFR for Padma Brick clay mines of M/s BBC Brick (Proprietor: Sri Pradeep Prasad Mehta), Village- Padma, P.S- Padma, Dist-Hazaribag, Jharkhand. of bricks Therefore the total number of bricks that may be produced within 6 months is 1715.06 *350 = 600271.
