2.2 Brief description of the nature of the project

It has been proposed to collect approximately 423549 TPA, 235305 cum. No mining activity will be undertaken during the monsoon season. So the material will be replenished during the monsoon season every year.

PROJECT: PHATTERPUR SAND MINING PROJECT PFR APPLICANT: M/S SARC INFRACON INDIA LIMITED (CHARAN SINGH- MANAGING DIRECTOR) Geological Reserve: Total geological reserve is 270000 cum. Source: Approved Mining Plan Mineable Reserve: UNFC 121 235305 Cum UNFC 221 34695 Cum Total 270000 Cum Source: Approved Mining Plan

Mode of working:

The above lease area is required for sand to carry out infrastructural activities. The lease area is a virgin land and the mining (rising) of sand will be purely by opencast method. For mining, we shall use a combination manual loader & labors that are trained in sand digging. Based on the present annual requirement from mine, the requirement of sand for the first 5 years has been calculated to be of the order of 1176525 M³ one bench of 3 m will be formed by manual labors. Proposed monthly production (rising) of sand from the area approx. 15846M³/Month. To begin with a big trench of the dimension of approx 145x135mx3m will be excavated along the strike length of the property. The height of the bench will be 3 m. This will be extended along the full width of property. Once this sequence is completed the trench will be extended for further length of 145 meters along the strike and sequential extraction of sand will continue. Thus there will be envisaged production of 980m³/day from the area. One such block will last for 2 months. Sand will be brought to storage and transportation point by tractors (primary loading point) from this point, 10 Nos of trucks/dumpers having a capacity of 6 M3 each will be deployed. These transport vehicles will transport the entire daily production in 16-17 no. of trips (to & fro) to the sand ghat.

The work will be continued for 8 months in a year as balance 4 months will be rainy days and no mining is possible in river bed. No other machineries will be required for sand mining.

In any case excavation will not be done beyond 3m permissible limit from general ground level

Justification for the adopted mining technology:

PROJECT: PHATTERPUR SAND MINING PROJECT PFR APPLICANT: M/S SARC INFRACON INDIA LIMITED (CHARAN SINGH- MANAGING DIRECTOR) The sand is loosely spread over the river bed and hence can easily be excavated by opencast method.

Disposal of Waste:

The sand that will be required is in ROM from and after its raising from the river bed, the material will be directly loaded in dumpers/trucks and hence there is no waste generation.

Waste Generation and Management:

There will be no waste generation and hence the question of disposal of waste materials does not arise.

2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region

The project lies on the bed of Ken River. The sediment in the form of river bed material (RBM) deposited in the last many years had changed the shape of the Ken bed from a valley to a raised land. Hence, it is necessary to remove the materials so that the stream gets channelized. Due to rapid infrastructure development in India, the demand of construction material has increased. To supply this demand, mining of sand is done. 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 The demand for sand is ever growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our country.

PROJECT: PHATTERPUR SAND MINING PROJECT PFR APPLICANT: M/S SARC INFRACON INDIA LIMITED (CHARAN SINGH- MANAGING DIRECTOR) The mineral is used mainly in the construction activities like buildings, bridges etc. The requirement for the mineral is always high in the cities and towns. Therefore there is always a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market. 2.5 Domestic/ Export Markets The demand in the domestic market is high especially in the nearby towns and cities and hence the need for sand mining. 2.6 Employment Generation

4.3 Physiography:

Chhatarpur district in located on the central portion on the plateau of Bundelkhand in M.P. the district is spread over an area of 8616.82 sq. km and is located at the northern boundary of the state, laying between north latitudes 240 06’ and 250 20’ and east longitude 790 59’ and 800 26 falls under the survey of India toposheet No. 54O, 54P, 63D. The district is bounded by Mohaba district U.P in the north, Panna district, in the east Tikamgarh district in the west and Sagar & Damoh district in the south.

4.3.1 Regional Geology:

Geologically, Bundelkhand presents a mixture from difference eras, from the earliest days of the formation of the earth, when its upper cooled and solidified, till recent times, from the earliest period, older than 2500 million years, are granite-like formations called gnesiss and so-called Bundelkhand Granite. Much of the area of Datia, Jhansi, Lalitpur, Tikamgarh Chhatarpur, Panna and Sagar districts, and southern portions of Chitrakoot and Mahoba districts is granite country, marked by outcrops of great diversity in mineral composition and size, ranging from small patches to large hillocks. A striking feature of the granite country, which has impacted settlement patterns and agriculture, is the presence of long and narrow rocky ridges, known as quarts reefs and dolerite dykes. Often, these wall-like natural features intercept the course of streams, leading to the formation of water bodies and enabling the creation of large artificial lakes. From later geological eras (570 to 900 million years ago), we get diamond fields in Panna, extensive limestone deposits in Damoh, chhatarpur and Datia, Graniteic rocks in southern Lalitpur and sandstone deposits in Panna and Sagar. Massive sandstone and limestone cliffs are seen in the Vidhyan hills which girdle the granite country. The most recent geological deposits are alluvium, in the form of sand, silt or clay, brought down by borth-flowing rivers. Massive blocks of medium to coarse-grained varieties of pink, red and grey granite are found in Jhansi, Lalitpur, Mahoba, Banda, Datia, Chhatarpur , Panna and sagar districts. Multicolored and black granites

PROJECT: PHATTERPUR SAND MINING PROJECT PFR APPLICANT: M/S SARC INFRACON INDIA LIMITED (CHARAN SINGH- MANAGING DIRECTOR) are found in parts of Sagar and Panna. A variety called Jhansi Red, mined in chhatarpur, is found in no other country. Another prized variety found in the district is called Fortune Red.

Granitic rock gneisses and migmatites of the Bundelkhand Granite Complex of Archaean age occur in northern half of the area. The major rocks type of this complex are a variety of medium to coarse grained granites some being porphyritic migmatite gneisses and locally the fine grained non porphyritic leuco – granites. The granite containes minor enclaves of phyllite, sericite quartz rock BHQ and metabasites. The granites are transverse by large number of NE-SE trending detached outcrops of massive quarts reef a few NW-SE trending dolerites dykes and minor veins of pegmatite and quartz. The overlying granitic rock are the ENE-SE trending dolerites dykes and minor veins of pegmatite and quartz. The overlying granitic rocks are the ENE-WSW trending sedimentaries of the Bijawar Group in the central parts of the area. Further these Bijawar groups of rock are overlaines by Vandhyan super group which together with an ENS- WSW trending broad stretch of soil and alluvial cover occupy the southern of district. Overlaying the vindhyans and immediately underlying the Deccan traps in the south-eastern part of the area occur a group of rock types comprising of arenaceous limestone, cherty limestone pellet limestone conglomerates grit and red clays represent bakswaho formation and are correlated with lametas of western India.

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

PROJECT: PHATTERPUR SAND MINING PROJECT PFR APPLICANT: M/S SARC INFRACON INDIA LIMITED (CHARAN SINGH- MANAGING DIRECTOR) The project involves collection of river bed material. This is very essential in order to prevent widening of the riverbeds and to prevent flooding off and damage to the adjoining areas. This can only be achieved by maintaining the existing course of the river.

The river banks, on both sides are covered by vegetation and human habitats. Widening of river banks results in excessive erosion; resulting in damage to flora, agricultural land and settlements which are situated at very close proximity.

This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society. It provides employment to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly by the project. The sand extracted is in high demand in the local market. This also ensures scientific method of sand extraction.
