It is also mentioned here that the procedure of preparation of District Survey Report is as per notification guidelines. Every efforts have been made to cover sand mining locations, areas & overview of Mining activity in the district with all it's relevant features pertaining to Geology & mineral wealth in areas of rivers, stream and other sand sources. This report consists of available mineral resources, geographical set up, environmental and ecological set up of the District and is based on data of various departments , published reports , and websites. The data may vary due to flood, heavy rains and other natural calamities. Therefore, it is recommended that Sub Divisional Level Committee may take into consideration all its relevant aspects / data while scrutinizing and recommending the application for EC to the concerned Authority. DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT OF KODERMA DISTRICT, JHARKHAND STATE DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT OF KODERMA DISTRICT As per Gazette notification of 15th January 2016 of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change a Survey shall be carried out by the District Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) with assistance of irrigation department, Drainage department, Forest department, Mining department and Revenue department in the district for preparation of District Survey Report as per the sustainable Sand mining guidelines to ensure identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. Every efforts have been made to cover sand mining locations, areas & overview of Mining activity in the district with all it's relevant features pertaining to Geology & mineral wealth in replenish-able and non-replenish-able areas of rivers, stream and other sand sources. The mineral potential is calculated based on field investigation & geology of the catchment area of the river or streams. Also as per the site conditions and locations, depth of minable mineral is defined. The area for removal of the mineral in a river or stream is decided depending on geo-morphology & other factors, it can be 50% to 60% of the area of a particular river or stream. Other constituents like clay and silt are excluded as waste while calculating the mineral potential of particular river or stream. This District Survey Report shall form the basis for application for environment clearance, preparation of reports and appraisal of projects. The report shall be updated once every five years.

DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT OF KODERMA DISTRICT, JHARKHAND STATE 3 1.3 LAND USE PATTERN,AGRICULTURE,CROPPING PATTERN Due to lateritic condition of the soil, deficiency in the rainfall and no major rivers, the land use pattern is different from the genetic plain. Some irrigated area takes into account of Rabi, Kharifand oilseeds crops. But generally the area is best suited for vegetables, medicinal plants and floriculture due to natural drainage of water. Forest area covers about 41%of the total area, Barren and Uncultivable land is 11%, Land put to non-agricultural use is 7 %, and current fallow is 15 % and 6% area comes under land other than current fallow. Net area sown is 13 %. The agricultural production is mainly from pulses and corn. Total irrigated Area in the district is 3186 ha. Irrigation is done mostly through dug wells, ponds, Bore wells, minor irrigation and other sources. Irrigation done by dug well is 829.55 hectares. Irrigation by minor irrigation sources is 226.27 ha. Irrigation done by Ponds in the district are 612.39 ha.Irrigation done by bore wells in the district comes out to be 931.52 ha.Other sources of Irrigation contributes about 586.12 ha in the district. Hilly and more scarp areas have more land under forest, while the flatplateau areas are used for cultivation. Paddy is the main crop, while maize, pulses and vegetables are grown in some part of the district. Land Use in Kodarma District (1997-98): Sl.No Land Use Pattern Area(%) 01 Forest 42.42 % 02 Net sown area 13.56 % 03 Barren and uncultivable waste 11.36 % 04 Non agricultural use 6.82 % 05 Orchards 2.01 % 06 Pasture 1.11 % 07 Cultivable wasteland 1.52 % 08 Current and other fallow 21.20 % Source: Fertilizer and Agriculture Statistics, Eastern Region (2003-2004) DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT OF KODERMA DISTRICT, JHARKHAND STATE CHAPTER-2 4 2.0 CLIMATE AND RAINFALL The calendar year may be divided into three main seasons in the district of Koderma.
