Shri Pradeep Jain Executive Summary Village: kanheri, District: Narsinghpur 6.817 Ha Limestone & Dolomite/Marble Block mine EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. PREAMBLE Minerals are the chief source of present phase of industrialization, and play an important role in the present phase of the national economy and overall development of the nation. India is endowed with significant mineral resources. India produces 89 minerals out of which 4 are fuel minerals, 11 metallic, 52 non- metallic and 22 minor minerals. The Madhya Pradesh is enriched with steel grade, refractory grade and low silica dolomite & vast reserves of limestone. 3625.98 million tonnes limestone & 1152.66 million tonnes dolomite deposits are spread over in the districts of Damoh, Balaghat, Satna, Chhatarpur, Sagar, Mandla, Hoshangabad, Mandsaur, Jabalpur, Katni, Sidhi, Dhar, Khargone, Morena, Narshinghpur, Seoni, Rewa, Jhabua, Alirajpur, Panna, Khandwa and Dewas. In the Narsinghpur district Soap stone, dolomite, fireclay, limestone found excessively apart from this building constructions stone is also found near village Gontitoriya. Fireclay found mainly in Kanharpani, Bachai, Heengpani and Hiranpur hills. From various hilly areas we found Murram, crashed stones and from rivers sand which is used for construction purpose. Cement manufactured from limestone, cement pipes are prepared from cement. In village Chichali metal called peetal combination of copper and zinc utensils prepared. Chichali is very famous for these items. Limestone & Dolomite Mining project is located at village – Kanheri, Tahsil Tendukheda; Narsinghpur District (MP). 6.817 Ha mining lease area is being operated by the lessee Shri Pradeep Jain, Tendukheda having Reg. office at Jain Medical Store, Tendukheda Dist.

REASON FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) Ex. Summary 3 M/s Creative Enviro Services, Bhopal Shri Pradeep Jain Executive Summary Village: kanheri, District: Narsinghpur 6.817 Ha Limestone & Dolomite/Marble Block mine The impact of mine on the environment depends to a large extent on its location with respect to Human settlements, meteorological conditions, ambient air quality, water bodies, agricultural and forest land etc. Most of the adverse impacts of mines are amenable to technological control by providing necessary preventive and control measures and finally through effective environmental management of the operating mines. Keeping in view the likely impacts of mines on environment, this Rapid environment impact assessment report has been prepared for submission to State Pollution Control Board and Ministry for Environment and Forests (MoEF) for clearance of the proposed mining area. 6.

Therefore, life of the mine will be 345598 Tonnes/4000 Tonnes = 86years from 25.03.2009. Where 4000 tones of recoverable limestone & Dolomite/Marble Block is considered as production per annum. The life of the mine is worked out on the basis of the production projected presently. This will change depending upon the market Ex. Summary 4 M/s Creative Enviro Services, Bhopal Shri Pradeep Jain Executive Summary Village: kanheri, District: Narsinghpur 6.817 Ha Limestone & Dolomite/Marble Block mine conditions as well as the increase in reserves after proposed exploration. 6.3 Mining Method Proposed mining will be carried out by open cast mechanized mining method using Jack hammer/drill rod and chin which is made with diamond segments. Holes will be matched for cutting purpose then diamond chain/rope will be put in to holes for cutting of blocks. Block of Marble will be sold from the mine site for further processing of slab cutting and polishing purpose. During the past period of mining about 20% recovery of marble is seen, same has been anticipated and taken for calculation purpose, remaining 80% volume will generate as waste in the form of weathered, highly jointed, fractured, unsalable marble. Hired truck dumpers will be used for transportation of Marble blocks from mine site. No overburden is there where the proposal of mining is given, hence there will be no development benches, working will continue through production benches. Angle of slope of benches will be 45 0. Height of benches will not more than width of benches. Weathered rock/ mine waste generated during the proposed mining will be placed in non mineralized area, along the southern boundary of the area. Mine waste generated during the lease period will be placed in eastern non mineralized area. During the proposed mining one 10 m. deep bore hole will be drilled to confirm the depth persistence of mineral. Plantation of about 50 trees/ year will be carried out along the western barrier zone area. About 900 m 2 area will be covered by the proposed plantation. Proposed mining will be carried out by extending north eastern face of pit A, during the proposed mining, pit C will be also covered within the proposal of mining. Proper rectangular shape will be provided to working pit. One strip will be made for individual year. Production of marble will be achieved by cutting of marble blocks. Ex. Summary 5 M/s Creative Enviro Services, Bhopal Shri Pradeep Jain Executive Summary Village: kanheri, District: Narsinghpur 6.817 Ha Limestone & Dolomite/Marble Block mine Drill holes will be match in three dimensions. The drilling of holes will be done with use of Jack hammer and LD-4. The vertical hole will be drilled with the help of LD-4 and horizontal hole will be drilled with use of Jack hammer. Then the holes will be, matched from horizontal to vertical for putting the chain for cutting purpose. After matching of hole the chain made with diamond segments is put in to the holes. During the cutting process continuous fall of water is done on the chain for cooling. The block will be free from bottom and vertical plane. The block will be separated with the help of hydraulic jack, if required re-cutting of block will be done as per required size.
