District Survey Report

The present report is prepared in the light of notification no. S.O. 141(E) New Delhi, the 15th January, 2016 of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The report has been prepared to fulfill the requirement of above notification and filled as per the formats provided in the notification. It is a compendium of available mineral resources, geographical set up, environmental and ecological set up of the Rupnagar district and replenishment of minerals. 1. Introduction History of the District Rupnagar also spelled Ropar or Rupar, is a city and a municipal council in Rupnagar district in the Indian state of Punjab in North-West Republic of India. The town of Rupnagar (formerly known as Rupar or Ropar) is said to have been founded by a Raja called Rokeshar, who ruled during the 11th century and named it after his son Rup Sen. It is also the site of an ancient town of the Indus Valley Civilization. Rupnagar is a newly created fifth "Divisional Headquarters" of Punjab comprising Rupnagar, Mohali, and its adjoining districts. Rupnagar is a 21 meter high ancient mound overlaying the Shiwalik (also spelt as Sivalik or Shivalik) deposition on the left bank of the river Sutlej where it emerges into the lains. Sutlej river passes close (2 to 5 km) to the towns of Nangal, Rupnagar and Anandpur Sahib. Location and Geographical area Rupnagar district, included in the Rupnagar Division of Punjab falls between north latitude 30°- 32' and 31°-24' and east longitude 76°-18' and 76°-55'. It has an average elevation of 260 metres (853 ft). Town lies on bank of Sutlej River and Shivalik hill range spreads along the opposite bank of the river. The geographical extent of the area is 1440 sq.km. The district headquarters is 42 km from Chandigarh, the state capital. The area is bounded by Himachal Pradesh in the north and north east, Hoshiarpur, Nawanshahr and Ludhiana district in the west, Fatehgarh Sahib district in the South and Mohali district in the south east. Administratively the new Ropar district is divided into four tehsils –Rupnagar, Chamkaur Sahib, Anandpur Sahib and Nangal comprise of five development blocks. Includes, 617 villages and 6 towns: Rupnagar, Chamkaur

Sahib, Anandpur Sahib, Morinda, Kiratpur Sahib and Nangal. All the towns except Chamkaur Sahib have railway connections. The Sutlej River passes close to the towns of Nangal, Rupnagar and Anandpur Sahib. Population The total population of the district is 684627 (as per census 2011). The decennial growth of the population is 00.00%. Majority of the total population resides in rural area. The percentage of rural and urban population to total population is 72.71% and 27.29 % respectively. As per Ropar district data, there are 617 villages and 11 towns. The total number of uninhabited villages is 19.

Climate, Rainfall and Soil The climate of Rupnagar District is characterized by its general dryness (except in the southwest monsoon season), a hot summer and a bracing cold winter. The year may be divided into four seasons. The period from about middle of November to February is the cold season. This is followed by the summer season from March to about the end of June. The south-west monsoon season commences late in June and continues up to about middle of September. The period from mid September to the middle of November constitute the post-monsoon or transition season. The temperature ranges from minimum of 4° C in winter to 45° C in summer. May and June are generally hottest months and December and January are the coldest months. Relative humidity is high, averaging about 70 percent during monsoon. The average annual rainfall in district is 775.6 mm. About 78 percent of the annual rainfall is received during the period from June to September. The soils of the District vary in texture generally from loam to silty clay loam except along the Sutlej River and choes where some sandy patches may be found. Chamkaur Sahib and Kharar blocks have sodic soils. The soils of Anandpur Sahib and Rupnagar blocks are undulating. 2. Overview of Mining Activity in the District

Rupnagar district holds a distinct place in the state with respect to strategic geographical position in the state and the availability of minor mineral resources from the bed of River Sutlej, Sirsa and Soan. The presences of minor mineral are suitable for mining. Mining of sand/gravel is being done since long time therefore no specific method of exploration is required as the sand/Gravel, deposited all along the bed is very well exposed on surface moreover, the excavated minerals are accumulated/replenished every year during rainy season by flow of water depending on intensity of rains on the upstream side . Adequate quantity of sand/gravel in reserved is available for meeting consumer demand. In district Rupnagar 16 quarry of sand/gravel are working in Dyapur, Bhallan, Pllasi, Sureywal, Kiratpur, Ailgran, Harsabela, Nangran, Raipur Saini, Bhallari, Chandpur, Baihara, Lodhipur, Majri Sarsa, Swara, Bela Ramgarh and 02 are under process for getting environment clearance. Mainly three types of Minor Minerals constituents such as Stone Bajri are required for any type of construction apart from other material like cement and steel. In the earlier time the mud

houses/buildings were constructed with the use of mud. However with the passage of time, new techniques of development activities were started. As such the demand of Minor Mineral started on an increasing trend. In order to meet the requirement of raw material for construction, the extraction of sand carried out manually / semi- mechanized process from the river beds .The local residents used to lift sand etc. from the river beds to meet out their bonafide requirement. However after coming into being the Punjab Minor Mineral rules 1964, and amended rules in 2013. The mining is regulated in accordance with the rules. Apart from the above mining operations, mining of brick earth and ordinary earth is also carried out at many areas of the district which requires digging earth only up to a certain depth of 1 m to 1.5 m by individual brick kiln owners. As Punjab is primarily an agricultural state and land is scarce thus many small/marginal farmers give their land on lease for mining of brick earth/ ordinary earth and same is restored as early as possible after mining to make it fit for agricultural purposes.

6. Process of Deposition of Sediments in the rivers of the District In District Rupnagar water action is perhaps the only agency responsible for erosion, transportation and deposition of sand/gravel and aggregates. The rivers are the most important source of sand/gravel in the district. Sutlej, Sirsa and Soan stream are the source of sand/gravel and associated aggregates in the District Rupnagar. The passage of these rivers in district is initially through sandy and clay stone gravel rich terrain, where erosion of country rocks and transportation may be high but may result in the sand/gravel formation. It is the lower Himalaya and Shiwalik terrains which produce bulk quantity of sand/gravel and associated aggregates. Thus, geology plays a major role. They coupled with mineral composition sandstone; comprises essentially brownish-yellow and of grayish green medium to coarse grained hard compact sandstone with sub coordinated yellowish green and purple shale with scored bases and cobbles within the sandstone. Its basal part is dominated by flaggy sandstones. The sandstones are generally coarser grained and more micaceous . This lithology

is related to development to a large floodplain that shows a number of split channels. Deposition of multistoried sandstones is associated to rapid change of slope (as evidenced by scouring), deepening of base level and cutting into older formations (evidenced by presence of cobbles and pebbles of older formation in sandstones. The boulder conglomerate formation of upper Shiwalik containing boulders, pebbles and cobbles of granites, quartzites, slates and limestone. The process of sand /gravel formation. Moreover, climatic conditions, waterload and velocity of river and rainfall have a vital role in the entire process of transportation and deposition of sand/gravel and associated aggregates. In order to calculate the mineral deposits in the stream beds, the mineral constituents have been categorized as clay, silt, sand, bajri and boulder. However during present calculation, the waste material i.e., silt which vary from 10 to 20% in different streams has also been included in the total production. Further, the Survey of India Topo-Sheets is used as base map to know the extent of river course. The mineral reserves have been calculated only up to 1.00 m depth although there are some portions in the river beds such as channel bars, point bars and central islands where the annual deposition is raising the level of river bed thus causing shifting of the rivers towards banks resulting in to cutting of banks and at such locations, removal of this material up to the bed level is essential to control the river flow in its central part to check the bank cutting. While calculating the mineral potentials, the mineral deposits lying in the sub- tributaries of that particular stream/river has not been taken into consideration. Since these mineral deposits are adding annually to the main river, the mineral deposits will be much more.

Energy, environment and time are the three factors which determine the process of deposition by streams. Thus, when energy decreases to transport the load (by reduction in velocity or volume of water), a part of material can no longer be transported and hence deposited. Similarly, the factor of environment influences the deposition through configuration or shape of the channel. Uneven surface of the channel check the velocity and hence cause deposition. The time factor actually operates through the above two factors. Thus, when a stream would perform the act of deposition may be explained by a statement like, whenever and wherever its velocity is appreciably checked. The deposits that are laid down by running water are called alluvial, fluvial or fluviatile deposits. They all vary greatly in size, shape and mode of origin.

Amongst these is first is Alluvial fans and Cones: these are cone shaped accumulations of stream debris that come down from hills or mountains meet a larger streams or valley floor. These are common in hilly terrains and second most important owner in the present context is flood plain deposits which are resultant of some periods of high water levels or flood in a stream during which it overflows its banks and overflows on its sides. These flood waters are invariably heavily loaded with sediments of all types which are eventually deposited over inundated areas. Thus, a thick layer of such loads is left after every flood. There are four rivers Sutlej, Swan, Sarsa and Soan Stream in District Rupnagar.

9. Physiography of the District

Physiography refers to the study of physical features of the area and their relationship with one another including the factors and processes responsible for the evolution of landforms. The state of Punjab forms a part of Indo-Gangetic alluvial plain and is composed of sediments of Shiwalik hills and Himalayas brought down and laid by the rivers of Indus system.

The state can be divided into the following major physiographic units:

 Siwalik hills  Piedmont plain

The Siwalik Hills in the north-east are steeply sloping. Numbers of choes originate in the Shiwalik zone and drain the excess storm water. The Shiwalik hills occupy nearly 2.6 per cent area of the state and cover sizeable area of Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, S.B.S. Nagar, Rupnagar and S.A.S Nagar districts of the state. The hills have dense to open scrub forest.

The piedmont area forms a transitional zone between the Shiwalik hills and alluvial terraces. It is about 10 to 15 km wide and comprises of Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, S.B.S. Nagar, Rupnagar and S.A.S Nagar districts. The elevation of this zone varies from 300 to 375 m above MSL. The piedmont area is gently sloping to undulating and is dissected by number of seasonal rivulets

(choes) which transport storm water with sediments from their catchment. The coarsest of these sediments are deposited in the form of alluvial fans at the foot hills and finer fractions are deposited aling the choes within the piedmont area. The flood plains of Ravi, Beas, Sutlej and Ghaggar rivers and many seasonal rivulets cover nearly 10.0 per cent area of the state. The flood plain soils are young and stratified without appreciable alteration of sediments. The continuous erosion cum deposition keeps the soils young as time becomes a limiting factor for the consolidation of sediments into pedogenic horizons. The palaeochannels are believed to be the remanants of the old active channels. The origin of these channels may be due to the frequent changes in the courses of Ravi, Beas, Sutlej and Ghaggar rivers and their tributaries, which became defunct and silted up. These areas occupy a low-lying topographic position on the landscape. The district is situated in the east-central peripheral parts of Punjab; Rupnagar is one of the smallest districts in the state. The district displays the greatest physiographic diversity. Consistent with transitional location between the outer Himalayas and the Punjab plains, the district has a whole range of physiographic features which has made its impact on the characteristics of the human landscape of this region. On the basis of relief, slope, drainage and overlain material, the district may be divided into following five physiographic units;

 The Anandpur Dun  The Hilly tracts  The Foothill Dissected Plain  The Upland Plain  The Floodplain of the Sutlej

Based on the physiography, the area can be divided into 4 units-Siwalik Hills, Intermontane valley of Sutlej, Kandi/Sirowal formations and alluvial plains- which run parallel to each other. The area is drained by Sutlej river basin. The Sutlej River enters the district near Nangal in north and flows in south easterly direction and then meanders south and southwest across the outermost Siwalik Hills to debouch into plains. Budki Nadi and Siswa

Nadi emerge from the hills drain the southeastern part of the district and finally confluence with Sutlej River. 10. Rainfall Data: Year Wise The climate of Punjab is mainly influenced by the Himalayas in the north and the Thar Desert in the south and south-west. The periodic circulation of the moist air masses from the south-east and north-western sectors decides the occurrence of two wet periods each followed by a dry period. The presence of Himalayas in the north greatly modifies the temperature. As the distance from the Himalayas increases the temperature also increases, whereas rainfall decreases. In general, summers are hot and winters are cool The district receives normal annual rainfall of 776 mm, which was spread over 41 days. 78% of the annual rainfall is contributed by southwest monsoon. Generally, rainfall increases from southwest to northeastern part of the district. The climate of the district can be classified as tropical steppe hot and semi-arid type.

11. Geology and Mineral Wealth

Based on geomorphology the entire district can be grouped into 4 units such as Siwalik Hills, Intermontane valley, alluvial fan and alluvial plain. The Siwalik Hills separates the main Himalayan ranges from the Indo-Gangetic alluvial plain. The area is highly dissected and has an uneven topography. Adjacent to the hills is a long narrow intermontane valley, which extends from Nangal to Ropar trending northwest to southeast. Anandpur Sahib tehsil of the district lies in the intermontane valley and occupies a length of 40 km. The average width of the valley in the district is 5 km. Sutlej River and its tributaries drain this valley. Adjacent to this is the alluvial fan which forms the transitional area between the alluvial plains and hilly area of Himalayan foot hills. The coarse sediments brought down by hill torrents forms the alluvial fan deposits. These alluvial fans coalesced to form Kandi and Sirowal formation. The southern part of the district is mainly alluvial plain, which forms a part of vast Indo-Gangetic alluvail plain.

Two types of soils are found in the district-firstly Reddish chestnut soils which is seen in the northeastern part of the district, particularly in the Ropar and Anandpur Sahib blocks. These soils are loam to clay-loam in nature and decalcified and secondaly Tropical Arid Brown soils (Weakly Solonized) are mainly found in rest of the area which is mainly calcareous sandy loam.

The soils of the district vary in texture generally from loam to silty clay loam except along the Sutlej River and chos (seasonal canals) where some sandy patches may be found. Chamkaur Sahib and Morinda blocks have sodic soils.

Exploration

Mining of sand/gravel is being done since long times therefore no specific method of exploration is required as the sand/gravel, deposited all along the bed is very well exposed on the surface. Moreover the excavated minerals are accumulated /replenished every year during rainy season by flow of water depending on the intensity of rains on the upstream side.

Geological Reserves have been taken as 90% of in-situ reserves considering voids, gangue, accounting errors etc. which may occur within the deposit.

Mineable reserve has been estimated as a part of geological reserves, where area will be unworked along each banks of the river for stability and safety of river course area under water and agricultural land etc.

Life of mine

There is as such no specific life of the mine as the area under reference is open and barrel bed of the river and whatever quantity of minor minerals are extracted from the lease area during one year almost equal to extracted quantity of the same are replenished every year in the lease area by the river itself on account of its flow and velocity so the voids created gets filled up on their own.

Hydrogeology The Quaternary alluvial deposits belonging to the vast Indo-Gangetic Alluvium occurring in the southern blocks of the district forms the main aquifer system. The aquifers in the northern part are mainly Siwalik formation, Intermontane Valleys and Kandi/Sirowal formation.
