CHAPTER-3

TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY

(i) Topography:

The sand mining lease area is lies in the vicinity of Mahanadi River on western branch of the River of the accumulated sand on the river bed. The mining lease area falls under the Toposheet no. 64H/13. The general topographic elevation of the river bank is around 300 mRL and the lower elevation of the river bed is about 297 mRL, thus the area is about 3 m below from the general surface level. The flow direction of River Mahanadi is towards north direction in the lease area.

(ii) Regional Geology - The River Mahanadi is start from Granites of Archaean age and thereafter flowing through the Chhattisgarh Basin, which are belonging to mainly Raipur and Chandrapur Groups of Chhattisgarh Supergroup. Thus, almost the River length is flowing through the rock formations of Chhattisgarh Supergroup. The alluvium forms a narrow belt along the Mahanadi River, comprising, sand, gravel, clay and silt in varying proportions. The characteristics features of this valley fill alluvium is, its occurrence along the left bank of the River attaining a thickness ranging from 15 to 40 m.

(iii) Local Geology: River & Drainage - The sand mine of the area is consisting of sedimentary deposit belongs to Charmuriya Formation of “Raipur Group” of the Chhattisgarh Supergroup. The lease area forms the river bed of Mahanadi River which flow towards northern direction.

Transportation of Sand - The sand is not a insitu materials but being carried out by flowing water during the monsoon every year from various catchment areas of the river and getting accumulated at convenient locations like bends, escarpments etc. and as such the sand of the lease area is a carried material brought from various locations and getting accumulated at convenient places in the flow direction of the River. The size of the accumulated sand varies due to the time factor taken by the river as well as the quantity of flow water. The depositions normally take place on winding course (bends)/meanders/loops/circuitous journey (of a river) in flow direction.

The maximum and minimum width of River bed is about 568 m and 437 m respectively and the maximum and minimum width of the mining lease area is about 196 m and 177 m respectively.

CHAPTER-4

RESERVES

Give estimates of geological reserves alongwith grade under proved, probable and possible categories by standard method of estimation supported by analytical data.

Geological Assessments of Reserves: The lease area is 80,000 sqm and the thickness of the sand bed is upto 5 m (Source: as observed in the field) Thus, the thickness of sand bed is considered average 5m but proved thickness of sand bed has been estimated upto 3 m depth and below this, further 2 m thickness has been considered as probable thickness.

The parameters considered for reserve estimation are as under: a. The general surface level of the lease area is 297 mRL. b. Detailed geological mapping has been done on 1:1,000 scale. c. The topographical mapping was carried out at one m contour intervals. d. The process of accumulation of sand is a continuation process in every year during rainy season in this area due to its location being an embankment. e. The reserve has been estimated by area of influence method. f. The proved thickness has been considered as 3 m. g. The probable thickness has been considered as 2 m. h. The B.D. of sand (ordinary) has been considered as 1.7. i. The lease area has been recently surveyed on dated 10/11/2015. j. The reserve of river bed can be estimated by the available sand area in the total lease area and multiplied by the average estimated thickness of sand bed observed by number of locations.

Total Mineral Resources area as under:

(i) Total Proved Mineral Reserve: The lease area is 80,000 sq m and thickness of ordinary sand is considering 3 m from surface. Hence, the estimation of total mineral resources is as under:

Sand bearing area Thickness of Volume B.D. Tonnage sand bed (m) (sqm) (cum) (T) 80,000 3 2,40,000 1.7 4,08,000

Page 7 of 13

MINING PLAN OF MANDRAUD SAND MINE (ORDINARY), AREA 8.00 Ha. Gram Panchayat Mandraud, Tehsil- Kurud, District- Dhamtari (Chhattisgarh)

(ii) Total Probable Mineral Reserve: Further 2 m thickness has been considered for this category. Hence, the estimation of total mineral resources is as under:

Sand bearing area Thickness of Volume B.D. Tonnage sand bed (m) (sqm) (cum) (T) 80,000 2 1,60,000 1.7 2,72,000

The estimation of blocked out resources: The lease area is already 30 m away from the river bank, hence no resources will be blocked. Thus, the proved resources will be the mineable reserve.

Thus, the reserve and resources of sand (ordinary) is as under:

Category Total Resources Blocked Resources Mineable Reserve

2,40,000 cum 2,40,000 cum Proved Nil (4,08,000 T) (4,08,000 T)

1,60,000 cum Probable ------(2,72,000 T)

Anticipated Life of the Mine:

The Proved Mineable reserve of ordinary sand is 2,40,000 cum (4,08,000 tonnes) and the proposed production rate of about 68,000 cum (1,15,600 tonnes) per year. Due to continues sand deposition in the area during rainy season there will not be much depletion in the reserve of sand, hence reserve is likely to be remain same every year and in future also.

CHAPTER- 5 (a)

DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAMME

Maximum depth of removal of ordinary sand/bajri (3 mtrs from surface or up to water table/bed rock whichever is less)

Maximum depth of removal of sand will be considered 3m from the surface level.

Outline briefly, year wise development and production for first five years including precautions to be observed to prevent haphazard excavation of pit, scattering of waste and sub-grade mineral and avoidable loss of mineral in ground.

The five years of the mining plan period will be 2015-16 to 2019-20.

The proposed method of mining was open-cast manual. The mining and loading will be carried out manually. The sand will be extracted by phased manner, two stages maintaining pit slope at about 300.

The sand will be accumulated by labours in the convenient place and directly loaded into truck/tipper/dumpers.

Since, there will not be pit formation, hence development of pit is not considered and sand is deposited directly in every monsoon. As mentioned previously, lease area located within the river bed and there will be continuous deposition in the area every year during monsoon and sand will get refilled wherever mined out area during the year. So the mining activity need not be properly lined out as seen the other mineral cases. In the case of sand mining, the mined out areas will get refilled during monsoon and again mining can be carried out in same location.

Since, mining will not be possible during rainy season; the working will be carried out only about 8 months and working days considered as max. 240 days in a year.

No drilling and blasting is required, since the sand is a loose / semi-compact / incompact formation. The production of sand has been proposed to about 68,000 cum (1,15,600 tonnes) per annum.

Total lease area is 80,000 sq m (8.00 Ha) and the whole area will be available for mining.

Total mineable reserves of sand is 2,40,000 cum (4,08,000 T) thus per hectare about 30,000 cum (51,000 T) sand is available for extraction.

Hence, about 30,000 cum per hectare sand extraction can be done or 2,40,000 cum in the workable lease area as and when required depend on market demand.

Considering the replenishment of sand and available reserve, about 68,000 cum (1,15,600 T) sand can be safely extracted per year.

Annually 68,000 cum (1,15,600 T) in 8.0 Ha area or say about 8,500 cum (14,450 T) sand per hectare per year can be extracting from this site.

Haulage and Transporting:

For transportation of loadable sand from lease area to consumers, mostly 6 cum capacity dumpers/tippers will be utilized.

ROM

1 Production during a year 68,000 cum

2 Excavation per day (taking 240 days) 283 cum

3 Dumper capacity 6 cum

4 One dumper can carry (as safety measures) 5 cum

5 Nos. of trips required per day (283 / 5 = 56.6) Say 57 trips

Note: Transportation of sand will be carried out by user; hence there is no requirement of truck, tipper/dumper to the lessee.

CHAPTER-6

RECLAMATION PLAN

Describe briefly the year wise reclamation plan, giving the proposed plantation programme, scope of backfilling of worked out pit.

The river bed material normally consists of sand (< 2 mm size), small gravels (> 2mm < 20 mm size) and gravels (>200 mm size). These materials comes down mostly rolling over the river bed from steep stream/river slopes and settles down when the velocity of flowing water decrease at the confluence of hilly & plain areas. The deposition of these materials diverts the river flow in different direction thus forming islands varying sizes. These islands are dynamic in nature and their location is not fixed. The river flow may strike left or right bank of the depending upon the rate of discharge, type and volume of river bed material (RBM) brought from a rain storm etc. this phenomenon may not become significant in a year or two but has its effect over longer period of time.

Principally the extraction of annual quantity of RBM should not be exceeding the RBM brought during the monsoon of that year. However, the recommended quantity of extraction of RBM is limited to 30 to 90% of the RBM brought during the monsoon.

Methodology of extraction of RBM is more critical / relevant than quantity of extraction of RBM. Improper method of extraction of RBM of even less quantity may be more critical.

As the replenishment of sand in monsoon season is a regular process. Based on the last five years observation, it’s experienced that the average 3 m sand has been replenished every year.

Development works undertaken on river/stream bank becomes vulnerable due to frequent striking of river/stream flow on river bank. It therefore becomes necessary to guide the flow to the centre of the river/stream. Extraction of RBM with proper and careful method is one of such measures to channelize the flow to the centre so as to avoid stream bank erosion. The other measures are treatment of catchment with suitable soil and water conservation measures so that the soil/gravel are not carried out down from their location; following drainage line treatment viz spurs, retards, wattling, planting of suitable vegetation on river bank etc.

Plantation will be carried preferably on the River bank and also along the road used for transportation or the area proposed by the Gram Panchayat.
