Vishavjeet Singh VPO Kadh Teh. Ghanari Distt una , H.P PRE- FEASIBILITY REPORT The details of the project proponent and project are given below: Name of the applicant Sh vishavjeet Singh S/o Sh. Jarnail Singh Name & Address of applicant Village & Post Office –Kadh Tehsil Ghanari District – Una, Himachal Name of Mine Stone,Pradesh S and & Bajri Mining Project Mineral Stone, Sand and Bajri Area (ha) 02-37-70 Ha Location Mauza Sanghnei, Upmohal Jeetpur Tehsil Ghanari District – Una, Himachal Status of Project NPreawde sh 2.2 Brief Description of Nature of the Project Mining of Stone, Sand and Bajri will be carried out only up to a depth of 1 m (3 feet) depth, using hand tools like shovel, pan etc. only during the day time. The applicant intends to mine Stone, Sand and Bajri from the lease area. The extracted Stone, Sand and Bajri will be Utilized in stone crusher for make as construction material . Hence no storage facility at the mine site will be required. Mining will be confined to the allotted lease area lies in the bed of Soan River which is a tributary of Satluj River. The mining lease area is 02-37-70 hectare Situated in Mauza Sanghnei, Upmohal Jeetpur Teh .Ghanari District Una, and H.P. No drilling & blasting is proposed. The proposed capacity of collection of Stone, Sand and Bajri will be 53842 TPA. 2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region The projects involves collection of Stone, Sand, and Bajri one of the most accessible natural resources and are the major basic raw material used for the construction of roads, building and bridges. The production of mineral is a function of the availability of natural resources, the economy of the area and the various developmental and infrastructural works being undertaken in the area like road construction, hydro electric projects etc. The mining will provide employment to the local people and it will help in the upliftment of socio-economic conditions of the residents. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap Building huge infrastructure as being envisaged by Government of India particularly in road and housing sector requires basic building raw materials. Thus the demand for S t o n e , Sand and Bajri is ever 19 Extraction of Sand ,Stone and Bajri Applicant :_Sh. Vishavjeet Singh VPO Kadh Teh. Ghanari Distt una , H.P PRE- FEASIBILITY REPORT growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our country. The requirement for the mineral is always high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore there is always a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market. 2.5 Imports vs Indigenous Production The demand in the domestic market is high for Sand and Bajri. Mineral is available in abundant quantity in allotted area and can be extracted indigenously. 2.6 Export Possibility There is no proposal to export the mineral as the minerals extracted cater the indigenous demand and the development is a never ending process. 2.7 Domestic/Export Markets Domestic Market There is always an ever increasing demand of these minerals in the domestic market. Export Market The proposed mining activity is for indigenous consumption for real estate, road making etc. Therefore no export will be envisaged. 2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and indirect) due to the project The total manpower requirement for the proposed mining operation will be around 20 directly. 3.0 Project Description Location Mining will be confined to the allotted lease area lies in the bed of Soan River which is a tributary of Satluj River. The mining lease area is 02-37-70 hectare Situated in Mauza S a g h n e i ,Upmohal Jeetpur Tehsil Ghanari , District Una, and H.P. The lease area is about 300 m away from the nearest metaled road. The co- ordinates of the mine lease area are: Latitude : 31° 41’56.95" N Longitude : 76° 2' 47.60" E Buffer map of 5 km radius is attached as Map No.1. Details of Alternate Sites Mineral is site specific as well as the lease has been allotted in the particular area. Hence no alternative site is examined for mining. 20 Extraction of Sand ,Stone and Bajri Applicant :_Sh. Vishavjeet Singh VPO Kadh Teh. Ghanari Distt una , H.P PRE- FEASIBILITY REPORT Size or Magnitude of Operation The area of the proposed mine is 02-37-70 ha and the proposed capacity of Ston e, Sand and Bajri will be 53482 TPA The Applicant intends to mine Sand and Bajri from the allotted lease area. The extracted Stone, Sand and Bajri shall be used in stone crusher for further sale in the open market as per the demand. Hence no storage facility at the mine site will be required. 3.5 Project description with process details Method of Mining 1. The mining/ collection of minerals shall involve shoveling by simple manual method using hand tool, extracted mineral will be directly loaded by workers into truck/tractors- trailers for transporting them to market. 2. No blasting is required. 3. With the replenishment of the excavated area during the high floods, the process of the controlled mining can continue year after year. The erosion and weathering of siwalik boulders beds in the catchment have inexhaustible supply of required minerals. 4. Though the major mining activities will be under taken during the dry seasons. Thus effective mining will be only for 300 days in a year. 5. Mining activity will be done in day time only. 3.6 Raw Material Required Along With Estimated Quantity, Likely Source, Marketing Area of Final Product/s, Mode of Transport of Raw Material and Finished Product. No raw material will be required in the proposed project. The operation involves the extraction of Sand and Bajri in its existing form. The extracted Sand and Bajri shall be used in stone crusher for making grit and sand , as per the demand. Hence no storage facility at the mine site will be required. 3.7 Resource Optimization/ Recycling and Reuse Minerals are generally depleting asset, mined once but minerals like Stone, sand and bajri will be replenished naturally. As already explained the mining will be carried out in the river bed only. The area where mining shall be carried out would be replenished during the monsoon season due to fresh deposition Thus a scientific approach will be taken up for extraction of mineral with systematic method. 21 Extraction of Sand ,Stone and Bajri Applicant :_Sh.

Ghanari Distt una , H.P PRE- FEASIBILITY REPORT 3.8 Availability of Water, Its Source, Energy/ Power Requirement and Source 3.8.1 Water Requirement Water Requirement Activity (KLD) Dust suppression 0.3 Domestic purpose 0.4 Total 0.7 Water Requirement for the mining process will be fulfilled from the nearby village Ghanari. Water will be transported through water tanker to the mine site. 3.8.2 Power All the activities will be carried out manually with the use of hand tools for the extraction/collection of minerals. The material will be extracted and loaded directly into tractor trolleys by the workers themselves.
