CHAPTER-3 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION

A. Briefly describe the general topography explaining whether it is a plain land or hilly area and local geology of the mineral deposit within the lease hold. Attach a geological plan on 1:1000 scale with 1-3m contour intervals.

Topography

The surface topography of the area is mound in shape. The maximum elevation of area is 591m. The lease is part of Revenue land which is mound in shape. The mound having general slope towards South. The entire lease area is mineralised with Ordinary Stone (minor mineral). The surface plan of the area is shown in Plate no IV, Surface Plan.

Geology

The area showing a nature and extent of the mineral body A surface geological plan and section on a scale of 1:1000 of the proposed lease area showing general topography and general geology of the area is attached as Plate No IV and V respectively.

Regional Geology

The State of Chhattisgarh constitutes one of the important geological terrains of the Indian shield exposing rock sequences from Archaean to Recent. A crustal scale Central Indian Shear Zone (CIS) trending E-W and passing through the central part subdivides the state into two distinct geological provinces viz., the southern Bastar Province and the Northern Satpura Province.

The Bastar Province constitute cratonic nuclei comprising Archaean Gneissic Complex with tectonic slivers of older Suma supracrustals and flanked by Kondagaon and Bhopalpatnam granulite belts in northeast and southwest respectively. In the central part of the gneissic complex Bailadila Group representing Neo-Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic greenstone belt,

Page | 6 Applicant Yogeshwar Singh RQP/DGMCG/20/2015 Quarry Plan of Kirandul Ordinary Stone Quarry Village-Kirandul Tehsil-Bade Bacheli, District- Dantewada (C.G.) Area 2.22 Hectare occupies linear North and South trending ridges in Bastar, Kanker and Districts. Palaeoproterozoic volcanic rocks of Nandgaon Group extend in North and South over a length around 250km and width of 50-60 km in the western part of the state bordering Maharashtra between Chilpi Ghats in the north to the fringes of Abujhmar in the south. The volcano Sedimentary sequence in the eastern part in and districts is included in the Palaeoproterozoic Sonakhan Group. The Nandgon volcanic belt is intruded by batholithic Dongargarh Granite. The Dongargarh Grantie and its equivalent granites in Mandanbera and Kanker-Mainpur areas occupy major portion of south- central part of the state. Meso- Neoproterozoic platformal cover sequence of Chhhattisgarh plains. The cover sediments of Indravati, Sabri and Pairi Groups which are equivalents of Chhattisgarh Group, occupy plateau, Sabri basin and Khariar highlands respectively. Laterite with pockets of bauxite forms capping at a number of places over these rocks in Keskal-Amabera area.

The Satpura province is confined to the north of the CIS and devoid of the volcano-sedimentary sequence as observed in the Bastar Province. The oldest rocks belonging to Archaean include granitic gneisses and enclaves of meta-sedimentary/ metaigneous rocks confined to the southern part of the province in the -Bilaspur Belt. Gneisses and granitoids exposed to east of basin are included within Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex of the Archaean – Palaeoproteroziic. Inliers of gneisses and granitoids also occur within the coal bearing Gondwana basins. Precambrian cover sequences, as present in Bastar province are also absent in this province, instead Gondwana sequence belonging to Upper Carboniferous –Lower Cretaceous age is confined in the two basins NW-SE trending Mahanadi Basin and ENE-WSW trending south Rewa Basin. The two bsins merge in Sarguja area north of Baikunthpur. Lameta Group is exposed in the Amarkantak pateau region, southeastern and eastern part of Sarguja District. Remnants of Deccan Trap occur in the plateaus in the

Area 2.22 Hectare western and north-eastern parts of Sarguja District. Basic dykes of Deccan Trap affinity intrude the Gondwana Laterite.

The generalized litho stratigraphic sequence of Chhattisgarh is given below: Canozoic Recent-Holocene Alluvium Mid-Pliocene Laterite Mesozoic Upper Cretaceous- Deccan Trap Palaeogene Upper Cretaceous Lameta Group Palaezoic-Mesozoic Lower Cretaceous Gondwana Super group Upper Carboniferous Proterozoic Meso-Neo Kimberlite Proterzoic Chhattisgarh Super group,Indravati Group, SabriGroup,Pairi (khariar) group Mesoproterozoic PakhalSupergroup Palaeo- Kairagarh Group, Abujhmar Mesoproterozoic Group, ChilpiGroup,TulsiDongar Group Paaeoproterozoic Dongargarh Granite Sonakhan Group, Nandgaon Group, Metamorphites and Granite of BilaspurRaigarh- Surguja Belt Archaean_Palaeopr Bailadila Group, oterozic ChhtanagpurGneisic Complex Archaean Eastern ghat, Supergroup, Bengpal(Sukuma) Group, Unclassified BastaGneissses, Baya Gneisses etc Kondagaon granulite and chanockite, Raipurpatanam Granulite

Local geology

The ordinary stone of the area is granitic to gneissic in nature and comes under Bastar Gneisses of Archaean age. High grade gneiss supracrustal assemblage belonging to the archaean forms the oldest rock sequence IN Bastar Province. This is the most predominant litho unit in the Dantewara-Bstar-Kanker- sector in southern part of Chhattisgarh. Similar litho assemblage is noted of southern fringes of the

Page | 8 Applicant Yogeshwar Singh RQP/DGMCG/20/2015 Quarry Plan of Kirandul Ordinary Stone Quarry Village-Kirandul Tehsil-Bade Bacheli, District- Dantewada (C.G.) Area 2.22 Hectare

Sonakhan Belt in Raipur Mahasamund district, where it is referred as Baya Gneiss. Gness migmatite mainly include baned gneiss, stomatic gneisses and leucocratic gneisses. Which contain metasedimentary, metaigneous and tonalite-trondhjemite gneiss (TTG) restites. The gneiss is commonly grey in colour, medium to fine grained and crudely banded with parallel oriented streaks of biotite and rare amphiboles. Bands are richh in quartz, feldspar and biotite. The abundance of biotite in the vicinity of meta-sedimentary enclaves in the gneiss suggests that it is not an original constituent of the granitic gneiss but represents assimilated material from the surrounding rocs, BMQ, hornblende-schist, pyroxene gneiss and quartzite occurring as thin unmapable bands scattered over wide area in Malkangiri valley west of Sukma within biotite gneiss indicate that these gneisses are of hybrid nature and are product of remobilization of the basement gneisses. These gneisses have been referred as Bijapur Gneisses and Bengpal Gneisses. TTG has been occurred as restites within the Bastar Gneissic complex. In most places toanlite trondhjemites have been involved in later anatexis yielding melts of granite-granodiorite composition.

B. Describe briefly prospecting/exploration work done to date viz. Geological mapping with the evidence already existing about the mineral deposit in the area or in the vicinity(Attach geological report)

The quarry lease is existing quarry and the lease area is a part of hill and mound in shape the exposure of stone is seen in the existing pit within the lease area. The availability of the stone is proved up to 6 m from the ground level. So no exploration work required.

Human Settlement

The nearest human settlements from proposed lease area are village Kirandul south west direction at a distance of 2km, village Kodenar a distance of 2.2 km in South direction and Kadampal at a distance of 2 km in South east Direction.

Water Body

Kadampal tailing dam about 2.5km in the North East direction of the proposed area.

Important Structure

There is no public building, places of worship, historical monuments within and near the lease area. There is no railway line in the close vicinity and State Highway no6 passes at a distance of about4km from the lease area.

Environment Impact Assessment Statement

Land environment The major impact of open cast mining on the environment is degradation of land. It is proposed that the lease area will be converted in to flat land after mining and will be further available for mining.

Air environment The mine is very small mine, no significant impact of mining activities on the air quality is anticipated. The method of mining is conventional open cast mining by drill and blast method.

No crushing and beneficiation is proposed to be done within the lease area. The possible sources of air pollution are: 1. Emission of dust due to drilling, loading and transportation. 2. Vehicular emission 3. Blasting fumes

Page | 20 Applicant Yogeshwar Singh RQP/DGMCG/20/2015 Quarry Plan of Kirandul Ordinary Stone Quarry Village-Kirandul Tehsil-Bade Bacheli, District- Dantewada (C.G.) Area 2.22 Hectare

Mitigation measures

The following measures shall be taken to mitigate the air pollution.

1. Water spraying shall be done at strategic locations to suppress the dust. 2. All the machines proposed to be deployed are diesel operated. All these machineries shall be maintained in good conditions to minimise emission. 3. Only good quality oxygen balance explosive shall be used. 4. Workers engaged in drilling and loading shall be provided with dust mask. 5. A thick green belt shall be developed on the statutory barrier.

Water environment

Likely impact of mining on water table

The depth of the water table as observed in the nearby bore wells varies from 20 to 25 m below the general ground level of the area. The mining is planned for an ultimate depth of 6.0 m from the surface of the mining, therefore mining shall be always above 10-15 m of ground water table, No intersection of ground water table is involved.

Details of modifications/diversion of natural drainage system (obstruction of water channels and measures taken) No diversion, stoppage of any water channel, nala, and river shall be required and there will be no affect on the natural drainage system of the area due to the mining.

Measures taken for minimizing silting and contamination of water

No water body which may get affected due to proposed mining activity exists near the area. Kadampal tailing dam at about 2.0km from the proposed area in North East direction. The rock does not contain any sulphide ore, hence there is no risk of AMD from the proposed mine. There is a very small pond located close to the mine and gets dried up during summer. Since no water body exists in the close vicinity of the mine which may get affected due to siltation and contamination of water from the mining activity, no measures are proposed to be taken.

Requirement of water for quarrying operation The water will be required for suppression of dust, plantation and for drinking water. It is expected that max 2 KLD of water will be required per day for above activities.

Source of water

The water shall be arranged by own sources.

Noise and vibration The source of noise in the area where the mine is located is due to presence of some crushers and small mines of mineral minerals. The potential sources of noise due to the proposed mining activity are blasting, drilling, and movement of vehicles. Since the mining is being carried out on a very small scale, vehicular movement will not have any significant impact on the noise level. However, blasting may cause some noise pollution.

The following precautions shall be taken to minimize the noise generated due to blasting.

1. Blasting shall be carried out with electric delay detonators. DF shall not be used.

2. Blast hole shall be stemmed properly with drill cuttings to avoid air blast.

3. Blasting shall be carried out only in the afternoon. No blasting shall be carried in cloudy day.

4. The charge/delay shall be restricted as per DGMS circular.

No important public structure, historical monuments, village are located very close to the proposed mine which may get damaged due to blast induced ground vibrations.

However, following precautions shall be observed to minimise the blast induced ground vibrations.

1. Only controlled blasting shall be practiced.

2. The max charge/ delay shall be restricted as per DGMS circular.

Storage of explosives (like capacity and type of explosives magazine) Storage of explosive is not proposed within the lease area.

Human environment

No human settlement is located in the close vicinity of the mine. The workers employed in the mine shall be provided with dust mask, ear plug, safety shoes helmet etc.

Social infrastructure As stated earlier there is no public building, places of worship, school, and hospital, historical monuments within and near the lease area.

Rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R plan) The mine is a very small mine. There is no human settlement is in the lease area that require resettlement.

Stabilization and vegetation of dump As stated earlier, there will be no OB dump in the mine. The lease area has no soil.

Sewerage System The provisions of the Mines Rule 1955 shall be complied. Mobile type toilets shall be provided in the mine.

Environmental Monitoring Regular monitoring of air, surface and ground water, noise shall be done t regular interval.

CHAPTER-10 RECLAMATION OF LAND

Mined out land

The mine is a small mine of 2.22 Hectare lease area. The ultimate depth is 6m from the surface. No waste rock/overburden will be produced, back filling of the mined out area is not possible, hence it is proposed to convert the mined out area into a water body after mining.

Storage and prevention of top soil

Not required as soil is not present in the lease area.

Proposal for reclamation of land affected by quarrying activities during and at the end of the lease.

As stated earlier, the mine is a very small mine of lease area 2.22 Hectare. The major impact of open cast mining on the environment is degradation of land. Since no waste rock that can be back filled into the mined out area to reclaim the land is available, hence, it is proposed to convert the area after mining into a water body.

CHAPTER-11 QUARRY CLOSURE PLAN (Not applicable in case of temporary permit)

Introduction General Information and Geology is discussed in the mine plan

Review of implementation of mine plan The mine plan and the mine closure plan is being prepared for the first time, hence the question of the review of implementation of mine plan does not arise.

Closure Plan The mine closure plan is presented in Plate No XI.

Mined out area The detail of the existing and proposed land use in the next two years and at the end of life of mine is given below:

Water quality management

The mine working will never intersect the ground water and hence there will be no effect of mining on the ground water. Also no river nalla etc follows within and around the lease boundary which may get affected due to mining.

The water quality is discussed in detail in environment management plan. The lime stone rock does not contain any toxic substance which may contaminate water. There is no potential of acid mine drainage also. There is no chemical beneficiation is involved in the process of mining hence no tailing will be produced.

The level of water table is very deep, even it is hilly area and in this plan period production will be done from hilly part and also up to 6m from the ground level therefore chance of encountering the same during proposed quarrying is nil.

Periodic samples would be collected from nearby wells and surface water reservoir to monitor the quality of water.

Air quality management

The main sources of air pollution during operation are SPM, blasting fumes, and emission from vehicles. The following measures shall be taken to manage the air quality.

1. Drill machine shall be equipped with dust collectors. 2. Water spraying shall be done on the haul roads. 3. Dust musk shall be provided to workers. 4. Water spraying shall be done at all loading and unloading points, etc.

Ambient air quality monitoring will be done regularly at suitable stations.

Waste management There is no waste rock in the deposit, waste management is not required.

Top soil management Not required as soil is not present in the lease area.

Tailing dam management No tailing will be produced; hence tailing dam management is not required.

Infrastructure A temporary office, a shelter, first aid and drinking water facility is proposed to be constructed within the lease area.

Disposal of machineries All machineries being used in the mines are transportable. No permanent machineries shall be used that need dismantling.

Safety and security The mine is being worked systematically; all the important provisions of Mines Act 1961, Mines Rules 1955 and Minor Mineral Concession Rules of Chhattisgarh Govt. are being complied. The mine is developed in benches of appropriated height and width as per the provisions of MMR 1961. The safety berm of 7.5 m wide shall is left all around the periphery of the lease area. A safety zone of radius 500 m shall be observed during blasting. Blasting is carried out from blasting shelters only. The open pits is kept fenced off to prevent inadvertent entry of unauthorized persons and cattles. Security guards shall be deputed.

Disaster management plan

The mine is a small mine and does not require storing large amount diesel and explosive or any other hazardous material. Hence chances of explosion or big fire are very less. Also no river, big nalla flows near the lease area; hence there are no chances of inundation of the mine.

The following code of practices shall implement:

1. The first aid arrangements are provided at the mine. 2. The supervisory staff shall be trained in first aid. 3. The contact numbers of Police station, Hospitals around the mine shall be displayed in and English at mine office and other strategic places.

4. Supervisory staffs shall be provided with mobile phones for effective communication. 5. Fire extinguishers of appropriate type shall be provided in all tippers, drills and loaders at mine office. 6. The staffs shall be trained in dealing with fire. 7. A vehicle which can be used as ambulance in case emergency shall be made available at the mine during working hours.

Care and maintenance during temporarily discontinuance In case of any temporarily discontinuation of working, the following steps shall be taken:

1. All the pits and dangerous places shall be kept fenced to prevent inadvertent entry of unauthorized persons. 2. All the plants and machineries shall be kept in tight security. 3. Proper illumination shall be done during night time. 4. All the workings shall be inspected thoroughly by the manager and other statutory officers before reopening of the mine. 5. Proper care shall be taken of plantation.

Economic repercussion of closure of mine plan and man power retrenchments

Number of local person employed, status of continuation of family occupation and scope of joining the occupation back

Mostly the local people are employed in the mine. The local people are engaged attending their traditional family occupation mostly in agriculture, cattle rearing. About 19 local people shall be directly employed in the mine. The anticipated life of the mine is 50 years. After final closure of the mine, the workers may go back to their traditional family occupation or may join the other mines located nearby.

Thus there will not be much affect of closure on the socio economy of the workers employed.

Compensation to be given to the employees Compensation shall be paid as per the laws applicable.

Satellite occupation connected to the mining industry Mining activity is at very small level. No Satellite occupation is likely to be connected.

Continued engagement of employment in Rehabilitated area

The lease area is a govt. revenue land. There is no chance of engagement of employment in rehabilitated area.

Time scheduled of abandonment

The anticipated life of the mine is 10 yrs. The time schedule of abandonment is not estimated and shall be submitted with final mine closure plan.

Abandonment cost

Since no backfilling, dismantling of infrastructure, disposal of permanent machineries etc is involved, No major cost of abandonment is anticipated. However, it is estimated that a cost of Rs 0.50 lakh is sufficient to meet out the miscellaneous cost for abandonment of the mine.

Financial assurance

The financial assurance shall be paid as per the rule 29 of Chhattisgarh Minor Mineral Concession Rules 2015.
