Vertical joints trending E-W, NE-SW, NW- SE are recorded. A number of minor faults trending NW- SE sut across Chandarpur Sandstone in the central part. Major lineament trending E-W, NE-SW are recorded in the southern part of the district.
Local Geology
As stated earlier, the notified sand mining area is situated in Shivnath River. The river bed comprised of unconsolidated alluvial placer deposit of sand and bajari found along the river bed. The rock formations thrusting invasion of Shivnath river is within the Chandi formation are farming bold and nugged and gently eastward dipping topography in eastern part of the river. The formation around the area are weathered and extensively occupied by the alluvial soil cover noggin from almost 2.0m to 10.0m.
Based on the geology consideration thickness of the almost horizontally deposited sand along the Shivnath river is likely to be over 4-5m. the sand (0.1 to 2mm) deposit is mostly without any waste and overburden material and mostly common unconsolidated angular to sub-angular and sub-rounded gains mainly of variety of quartz, feldspar and rarely iron oxide minerals, mica silt (<0.6 mm) grains. Sorted boulders (>25cm.), Cobbles (6.4 cm to 25.6 cm.) pebbles (0.4 to 6.4 cm), gravels (0.2 to 0.4 cm.) from angular to sub rounded 7 | P a g e
QUARRY PLAN OF KUKURDIKALA (A) SAND MINE makes essential part of alluvial deposits, but at the surface generally sand sorted bajari (gravels & pebbles) are seen.
River & Drainage
The Lease area froms the river bed of Shivnath river. Which flow towards west to east direction. Concerned river, being the primary with dendritic drainage pattern. Hence, the effective catchment has been considered for zone of active erosion during high flood time otherwise it is a zone of deposition along the bank on both the flanks. There is no waste generation as sand comprises of the top surface at river bed only. It is also expected that this pit will be automatically fill by sand flow in the rainy season depending on the amount of rain fall received by the area and rate of river flow. During monsoon flood the water level rises by 2.0- 3.5m at time of short spells.
Transportation of sand
The sand is not a insitu materials but being carried out by flowing water during the monsoon every year from various catchment areas of the river and getting accumulated ate convenient locations like bends, escarpments etc. and as such the sand of the lease area is a carried material brought from various location and getting accumulated at convenient places in the flow direction of the river. The size of the accumulated sand varies due to the time factor taken by the river as well as the quantity of the flow water. The depositions normally take place on winding course (bends)/ meanders/ loops/ circuitous journey (of a river in flow direction.
Nature of River/ Nalla bed and alluvial sand- The area lies within the Shivnath river, which is gets flooded in the rainy season. All the deposit comprises sand and bajari at the upper most layer followed by grabbles of Quartzite, limestone, sand stone and chert of sub- rounded to discoidal in shape having smooth surface. Thickness of the deposit varies from 4-5 m. During monsoon this bed replenished to a large extend due to erosion by heavy flow in higher reach and as soon as the stream reaches in older channel downward, shed their loads in river banks due to decrease in velocity and carrying capacity.

QUARRY PLAN OF KUKURDIKALA (A) SAND MINE CHAPTER-4 RESERVES The Sand deposit is not in-situ deposits but is dynamic in nature. The deposition of sand takes places every year during monsoon. The amount of sand takes places every year during monsoon. The amount of sand sediments deposition of sand in a particular river stretch may very year to year depending upon a number of factors like rain fall in the catchment area, bed slope, amount of sand excavated from that area etc. Also the thickness of the sand bed in a particular stretch of a river is not of uniform thickness. So the methods of reserve estimation usually used for estimation of other mineral deposit which are in situ in nature cannot be used to estimate the sand reserve. At stated earliest, the proposed sand mining area lies in the river bed of Shivnath River. The total notified area is 4.99 Hect. In Khasra No. - 678/1 (part) of village:- Kukurdikala Gram Panchayat Kukurdikala . The river Shivnath is a perennial river. Sand deposition in the area is of almost uniform thickness; the thickness of the sand bed in the proposed area is 4.0m., but mineable thickness of sand bed has been estimate upto 1.5m. The reserve of sand in the proposed mine is estimated based on the following facts and assumption: • The lease area is 49900 Sq.m (4.99 Ha.). • The process of accumulation of sand is continuation process in every year during rainy season in this area due to its location being an embankment. • The reserve has been estimated by area of influence method. • Sand deposition in the area is not of uniform thickness, the thickness of the sand bad is more than 4 meter. • The minable reserve is estimated after leaving a layer of 1.5m along the river bed. • The B.D. of sand (ordinary) has been considered as 1.7. • The reserve of river bed can be estimated by the available sand area in the total lease area and multiplied by the average estimated thickness of sand bed observed by number of location.
Maximum depth of extraction shall be restricted to 2.0m. Extraction shall be done only from the identified sand bars having sufficient mineable thickness. However, for estimation of mineable reserve it is assumed that a layer of 1.5m thick shall be extracted from the entire area.
Considering the above facts and assumptions: Sand reserve in the proposed 49900 X 4.0 1,99,600 m3 area considering an average thickness of sand bed 4.0m.

QUARRY PLAN OF KUKURDIKALA (A) SAND MINE
Mineable reserve assuming 49900 X 1.5 74850 m3 that an average thickness of 1.5m. sand can be mined from the entire area
The estimation of blocked out resources: There is no blockage of sand because 50m. of safety distance already remain from river bank. None ramp, haulage road will be made within sand lease area, and there is only accumulation of sand and load on the transported vehicles. No blockage will make on benches because it is a sand lease area. Deduction of 5% is assumed for blockage in ramp, mine boundary etc. on above- Recoverable Reserve = 95% of the mineable reserve. = 74850.00 X 95/100 (5% mining loss) = 71107.5 cu.m Total sand reserve is 71107.5 cu.m Anticipated Life of the Mine : On the basis of the mineable reserve of ordinary sand is 74850.00 cu.m and by taking the proposed production rate of about 71107.5 cu.m per annum. Due to continues sand deposition in the area during rainy season there will not be much depletion the reserve of sand, hence reserve is likely to the remain same every year and in future also.

QUARRY PLAN OF KUKURDIKALA (A) SAND MINE CHAPTER- 5 DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAMME Maximum depth of removal of ordinary sand/bajri (2 mtrs from surface or up to water table/ bed rock whichever is less) The depth of mining will be restricted up to 1.5m.
Outline briefly year wise development and production for first five years including precautions to be observed to prevent haphazard excavation of pit, scattering of waste and sub-grade mineral and avoidable loss of mineral in ground. The five years of the mining plan period will be 2018-19 to 2023-24.
The proposed method of mining is semi-mechanized type. The mining will be carried out by machine and manual labours both and loaded into truck/tupper/ dumper by tata hitachi of JCB machine. Sand accumulated on river bed by the labours and make different small size heap, which is loaded in tippers by help of machine.
Since, there will be not be pit formation, hence development of pit is not considered and sand is deposited directly in every monsoon. As mentioned previously, lease area located within the river bed and there will be continuous deposition in the area every year during monsoon and sand will get refilled wherever mined out area during the year. So the mining activity need not be properly lined out as seen the other mineral cases. In the case of sand mining, the mined out areas will get refilled during monsoon and again mining can be carried out in same location.
Since, mining will not be possible during rainy season; the working will be carried out only about 8 months and working days considered as max. 240 days in a year.
No drilling and blasting is required, since the sand is a loose / semi-compact/ incompact formation. The production of sand has been proposed to about 71107.5m3 per annum.
Total lease area is 4.99 Hect. Whole area available for sand mining. Considering the replenishment of sand and available reserve, about 71107.5m3 sand can be safely extracted per year.
Open Cast Working It is an open cast working quarry mine. The method of mining is semi mechanized manual opencast method with pit pattern. It is proposed to start production from upper side of river where is no stream water. The height of working pit will be 1.5 mts maximum.
11 | P a g e
QUARRY PLAN OF KUKURDIKALA (A) SAND MINE
Considerations- Lease area is situated well within the meandering corridor of Shivnath river. The Mining shall be semi mechanized. Mining machinery excavator and loader shall be deployed. Only 240 days have been considered for mining, rest 125 days of monsoon season for replenishment of the area. Mining for each successive year is proposed to its 1.5m. Depth of mineral bed with and average annual production of 71107.5cu.m./year. The area on rotation basis is suggested in such a way that pit of previous year will act as depository during the monsoon season by reducing the velocity and carrying capacity of the stream thus depositing the mineral being transported by tributary. In totality the principal of placer deposit is adopted. Hence following rotation plan is recommended. Mining will be done by Semi Mechanized Manual Method by scraping of sand layer with the help of fabra, tagari, basket and sieves by lifting and loading the sand in to the trucks and tractor mounted- trolleys. For protection of aquatic life & riparian habitats mining will not be carried out in active channel and a buffer zone of minimum 3.50-4.0m. will be left along the active channel so that the aquatic life and the natural flow of river will not be disturbed. Development and production Program- 1. Prior to start production from the area, some development work has to be completed. 2. Maintenance and widening (9m) of pre- existing roads leading to area will be ensuring. 3. Exaction of a temporary site office and two rest shelter shall be completed. 4. Production program will be tabled below.

8.18. Strategy for protection of river courses, nallas, water tanks, villages, important monuments, if any. Briefly outline the proposed strategies. If any for protection of the following.
River courses: Sand will be removed leaving appropriate column above water level without disturbing the flowing water, hence any strategy for protection to save course is not required.
Water tanks: The area located in the river-bed is sufficiently away from sensitive man made land used for water tank, hospitals, dam or anicuts.
Village/ Houses/ hutments/ agricultural land : Not applicable because the project will have no effect on any type or class of vulnerable people and being no requirement of agricultural material during any phase of project, no wastes will be generated at river- bed at this sand mining project.
Important monuments: Not applicable because no any important monuments are present nearby the mining area.
8.19. Accident: Probability of accident both in mine and roads will almost be nil. All safety precaution will be taken to prevent road accidents, vehicles engaged will be kept fit and drivers will be instructed to drive slow and carefully.
8.20. Government Rules and Regulations: Applicant will abide by all Government rules and regulations while operating mine, provisions of mines act will be strictly observed by the applicant. This plan has been prepared on the basis of information and survey maps given by the applicant and studies done by recognized person preparing this mining plan.
8.21. Conclusion:- From the above, it will be observed that during the working of the mine, no problems are likely to river pollution that will cause any harm to environment, ecology of the area etc. this working of mine will offer more employment, chances to some of the nearby population. 20 | P a g e
QUARRY PLAN OF KUKURDIKALA (A) SAND MINE CHAPTER – 9 STRATEGY FOR PROTECTION OF RIVER COURSE, NALAS
Briefly outline the proposed strategies (if any) for protection of flowing a) River : The mining lease has been sanctioned by already leaving 50 meters from the river bank and 10% influence area left as non-mining zone from main stream of main river course. The proposed plantation of the river bank to protect embankment. b) Canal: No c) Water Tank: no d) Village/house/hutment: The village is far away from the lease area, hence no further proposal for protection strategies. e) Important monument: No important monument with the 10 km radius from the lease area.

QUARRY PLAN OF KUKURDIKALA (A) SAND MINE CHAPTER – 11 RECLAMATION PLAN
Describe briefly the year wise reclamation plan, giving the proposed plantation programme, scope of backfilling of worked out pit. The river bed material normally consists of sand (< 2mm size), small gravels (> 2mm < 20mm size) and gravels (> 200 mm size). These materials comes down mostly rolling over the river bed from steep stream/river slopes and settles down when the velocity of flowing water decrease at the confluence of hilly & plain areas. The deposition of these materials diverts the river flow in different direction thus forming islands varying sizes. These islands are dynamic in nature and their location is not fixed. The river flow may strike left or right bank of the depanding upon the rate of discharge, type and volume of river bed material (RBM) brought from a rain storm etc. this phenomenon may not become significant in a year or two but has its effect over longer period of time.
Principally the extraction of annual quantity of RBM should not be exceeding the RBM brought during the monsoon of that year. However, the recommended quantity of extracton of RBM is limited of 30 to 90%of RBM brought during the monsoon.
Methodology of extraction of RBM is more critical / relevant than quantity of extraction of RBM. Improper method of extraction of RBM of even less quantity may be more critical.
As the replenishment of sand in monsoon season is a regular process. Based on the last five years observation, it’s experienced that the average 2-3m sand has been replenished every year.
Development works undertaken on river/ stream bank becomes vulnerable due to frequent striking of river/ stream flow on river bank. It therefore becomes necessary to quide the flow to the centre of the river/ stream. Extraction of RBM with proper and careful method is one of such measures to channelize the flow to the centre so as to avoid stream bank erosion. The other measures are treatment of catchment with suitable soil and water conservation measures so that the soil/ gravel are not carried out down from their location; following drainage line treatment viz spurs, retards, wattling, planting of sitable vegetation on river bank etc.
Plantation will be carried preferably on the River bank and also along the road used for transportation or the area proposed by the Gram Panchayat.

QUARRY PLAN OF KUKURDIKALA (A) SAND MINE CHAPTER - 12 ANY OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
1. In sand removing there is no need of construction of any temporary or permanent structure within or nearby lease area. There is no needing have demolish any permanent structure to start sand removing activity. There is no plantation on the sand removal area so any need to cut trees. Approach road of the sand quarry is directly connected to main road and it will not pass within the village or city so no question of shifting any road or dust pollution of vehicles. 2. No any solid or liquid west will generate from removing of sand which can affect the environment. 3. The method of removal is manual in nature, small and there is no any deployment of machinery, which create dust or air pollution on remarkable scale. 4. Every year in the rainy season the pit general from the sand removal is automatically filled by the river so the supply of sand will continuous from the applied area and flow of river will not disturbed.
