INTRODUCTION 2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent Name of the Project: Shri Shivratan Sahu (Proposed for Brick Earth Mining) Location: Shiv Ratan Bricks at Plot no. 626 & 627, Khata No. 05 in Mouza - Jamuadag, District - Khunti, Jharkhand. Mining lease Area: 7.45 Acres (3.015 Ha) Land agreement documents (including plots of mining & brick kiln) attached as Annexure II. Name and address of project proponent: Details of the proponent are given here under: Sri Shiv Ratan Sahu S/o . Shri H.N. Sahu At: Kathal More Road, Argora Basti PO-Doranda Dist: Ranchi (Jharkhand) Mob: +919693001001 2.2 Brief description of the nature of the project The proposed project is to mine brick Earth from above mentioned plots sustainably and scientifically. Mining will be opencast and manual as per mining rules keeping all the nearby plots unaffected. 2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region Bricks are used in almost any type of construction activity. During present time, where the focus of the government is on improvement of basic infrastructure, both in rural and urban areas, there is a constant need for ensuing regular supply of these inputs. The production of Brick Earth will benefit the state in the form of royalty. Apart from this, project operation will provide employment directly and indirectly to the people residing in vicinity, thus improving the Socio- economic status of the area. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap Brick Earth has become a very important mineral for the manufacturing of Bricks which contributes to the expansion of infrastructure in the society. With increasing development/urbanization, the demand for Bricks is growing in infrastructure sector in our country. Individual and private companies are increasingly demanding Bricks for construction purposes and this has immense pressure on Brick Earth resources. Further, there are not many large scale soil GEOCARE MINING SERVICES, RANCHI 3 PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT Proposed Brick Earth Mining for Sri. Shivratan Sahu At Plot no. 626 & 627 Khata No 05, Mouza: Jamuadag District: Khunti, Jharkhand deposits in the districts, and thus the focus is to systematically develop known small and medium size deposits. This clearly shows that a gap between the demand and supply of basic raw materials (brick earth) exists. To minimize this gap to some extent, the proposed brick kiln project will be a step in the right direction. 2.5 Domestic/ Export Markets Due to the increased industrial and infrastructural growth of the rural and urban areas, the demand for Bricks is very high. Since these minerals are low value – high volume items – efforts are made to source the material from the nearest point of supply. This is to avoid high cost of transportation. Construction companies and local vendors in the nearby town and cities are the potential market for the brick made up of brick Earth. 2.6 Employment Generation Due to the proposed mining of Earth there will be direct demand of 18 workers for the mining and 7-10 workers indirectly in the kiln. There will be also indirect employment in transportation and handling. GEOCARE MINING SERVICES, RANCHI 4 PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT Proposed Brick Earth Mining for Sri. Shivratan Sahu At Plot no. 626 & 627 Khata No 05, Mouza: Jamuadag District: Khunti, Jharkhand 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any This is an independent new mining project. The proposed project is for the extraction of Brick Earth from the allotted plot(s) manually which will be used for manufacturing of Red Bricks at a maximum of 6, 00,000 bricks per year. Taking into consideration, location of the project, this project does not pose any major adverse impact from the environmental point of view. 3.2 Location (map showing general location and project site) with coordinates. The mining lease area over 7.45 Acres (3.015 Ha) are located in survey of India Toposheet No. F45B8 (73E/8) with co-ordinates Latitude: 23°06ʹ03.08ʺN to 23°06ʹ05.97ʺN and Longitude: 85°17ʹ18.01ʺE to 85°17ʹ23.23ʺE at Plot no 626 & 627, Khata No 05, Village- Jamuadag in District Khunti, Jharkhand. The proposed project activity will be carried out in the said plot(s). Google map of 5 km radius area showing location of Brick Kiln and plot(s) to be excavated is attached as Annexure IIIA & IIIB. 3.3 Details of alternate sites considered Since mining is a site specific activity, as such no alternative sites have been considered. As regards environmental considerations, the applicant will be abiding by all relevant Acts & Rules and provisions of Environment Protection Act. There is no environmentally fragile area such as national park, wild life sanctuary or biosphere reserve within 10 km radius of the lease area. Extinct, endangered or rare species are not found in the lease area. 3.4 Size or magnitude of operation The proposed mining lease is over an area of 3.015 Ha. As per EIA notification 2006 it is a Category B2 Project. Approximately 2000 TPA (1333 cum) minor mineral – Brick Earth (clay) will be extracted which will be used for manufacturing of around 6, 00,000 bricks per year. Total Mineable Reserve of the area (plot nos. 626 & 627) is estimated as 33107 cum (~49660 Tons) of GEOCARE MINING SERVICES, RANCHI 5 PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT Proposed Brick Earth Mining for Sri. Shivratan Sahu At Plot no. 626 & 627 Khata No 05, Mouza: Jamuadag District: Khunti, Jharkhand minor mineral –brick earth (clay). As per schedule, taking average production of 1333cum, the life of mine is 27.6 years. 3.5 Project description with process details The proposed project is to mine Brick Earth from plot(s) under agreement, sustainably and scientifically. Mining will be opencast and manual along the plot(s) keeping the nearby plot(s) unaffected. The excavated soil shall be used for brick making by Earth preparation, shaping or hand moulding, sun drying and then put into coal fired kiln connected with fixed chimney for firing operation. Raw materials are not required. The final products will be sold in the local market. Following geo-scientific methods are proposed to be carried out: Mining will be confined to extraction of Brick Earth in its existing form, from the allotted plots only. Mining of Brick Earth from their allotted plot (s) will be restricted to a maximum depth of 2 m from the surface.
