3.3 Details of Alternate Site Considered and the Basis of Selecting the Proposed Site, Particularly the Environmental Considerations Gone Into should be Highlighted:
Mining is site-specific project hence no alternate site is considered.
3.4 Size/Magnitude of Operation
It is proposed to produce 87,300 Cum of River Sand from the River Bed area of 11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha.) by open cast semi - mechanized method of mining.
3.5 Project description with process details:
The mining shall be done by opencast manual method. Mining will be done upto maximum depth of 2.35m only Loading will be done mechanically.
The working period for mining will be six month., but it will be for 3 months because there will be no mining activity in the monsoon season.. The removal of sand in the applied lease area would be confined to day time i.e. 9 AM. to 5 PM.
Proper benching of 2.35 m height with two sub benches of l.15m each will be maintained.7.5m Safety barrier zone will be left along the lease area. Tractor/dumper will be used for transportation to the end user.
Mining will be done in alternate blocks for systematic development of the mine. No drilling/ blasting are required as the material is loose in nature.
Roads will be properly made and sprayed by water for suppression of dust.
Lessee– Shri Praveen Kumar Laibudva River Sand Project –11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha)
Extraction activities will start in the blocks from the upstream side to downstream side. This will not obstruct the movement of water, if any, during monsoon period in the river course.
Drilling- No drilling activity is involved in this project activity
Blasting- No blasting activity is involved in this project activity
Loading & Transportation- Loading & Transportation is done by JCB & trucks/ tractors
Method of estimation of reserve
The river Bed Mineral reserves have been estimated as per the Indian Standard Procedures. The area of the mining lease is 4.8481 ha and the average thickness of the river bed minerals estimated as 3.0 m
Volume of RBM = Area of RBM x Maximum working depth of RBM
= 48481 m2 x 3 m = 145443 m3

Total 11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha)
Lessee– Shri Praveen Kumar Laibudva River Sand Project –11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha)
4.3 Topography
The district area, in general, comprises of undulating plains. The district can be almost identifiably divided into two units, the upland plains underlain by Older Alluvium and the lowland plains underlain by Newer Alluvium. The elevation of the land surface varies from about 160 m amsl at Bankatwa in the north western part of the district to 96.5 m amsl at Sadulla Nagar, Block Rehra Bazaar in the south east. The general slope of the tract is from northwest to southeast. The topography is largely influenced or modified by the existing network of rivers and streams. The highest RL of the STP area is 95 mRL and lowest RL 93 mRL.
Drainage:-
River Rapti is the major river draining Balrampur district and flows from the northwest towards south-east. The river divides the district into two parts. There are large number of ephemeral (Dhobania, Kharjhar, Bhambhar etc.) and few perennial nalas, in the northern part, flow southwards into the Rapti River. South of the Rapti River, there are two other tributaries (Suwawan and Kuwana) which run almost parallel to Rapti before their confluence in the adjacent Basti District. It has been observed that the tributaries of the Rapti river flow from north to south, but those on the right bank, i.e. south of Rapti are more wandering and generally have an eastward flow. It would thus appear that, in the southern part of the district, the watershed slopes from west to east, whereas it slopes from north to the south in the area north of Rapti.
4.4 Existing Land use Pattern
The River Bed area is Private Land (11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha.) There is no village or hutments within the River Bed area. Existing land use pattern is given as below:

4.5 Existing Infrastructure:
No infrastructure is available in the mining lease area. All necessary infrastructures as per required will be developed. Site services as per Mines Rules 1956 are developed. First-Aid station with all necessary medical facilities, Toilets as per the provisions of Mines Rules will be provided. Regular medical checkup of the mine employees will be carried out as per the provisions of Mines Rules 1956.
4.6 Soil classification:
In the western districts of Uttar Pradesh viz. Saharanpur, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Bijnor, Moradabad, Pilibhit and Bareilly, the soil is typically the same. It is, generally, deep brown and loamy in some places, also mixed with sand. The soil is shallow, gravely and full of stones – being generally acidic. In the western plains (Saharanpur, Meerut and Muzaffarnagar) the soil is deeper and fertile. Further east- wards (Bareilly, Moradabad, Bijnor and Pilibhit) the soil gets to be loamy, Still further down the Pilibhit district, some
Lessee– Shri Praveen Kumar Laibudva River Sand Project –11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha)
of the soil become acidic while the rest shows some alkaline properties. The soil in the central regions comprising Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Lucknow, Barabanki, Hardoi, Kanpur and Azamgarh districts is loamy and sandy loms.
In the eastern part of the state, the districts of Gorakhpur, Basti, Mahrajganj, Siddarthnagar and Gonda contain two varieties of the soil, which are locally known as ‘Bhat’ and ‘banjar’. The alluvial soil is called ‘dhuh’. The one described as ‘mant’ is loamy sandy- calcareous, comparatively. The soil in the north western district of the state contains less of phosphate. The district of Jaunpur, Azamgarh and Mau are found to be lacking in potash and the drier areas are known as ‘usar’ and ‘reh’ . The soil of Aligarh, Mainpuri, Kanpur, Etah, Etawah, Sitapur, Unnao, Raibareilly and Lucknow is salt affected and known as ‘usar’ and ‘reh’ soils.
Mixed red and black soil is found in the Jhansi division of the state and the districts of Mirzapur and Sonebhadra as well as the karchhana and Meja tehsils of Allahabad besides Chakia and Varanasi district. Black soil is sticky, calcareous and fertile. It expands as it soaks moisture and contracts on drying up. In the upper plateau of these districts the soil is red and is of two kinds – ‘parwa’ and ‘rackar’ ‘parwa’ is light sandy or sandy-loam while ‘rackar’ is alkaline.
4.7 Regional geology & local geology:
A. Regional geology:-
Geologically, the area under study is underlain by the Quaternary sediments comprising Older and Newer Alluvium and forms a part of the pre-existing upper Ganga Plain (Oudh plain). The following stratigraphic sequence of Quaternary sediments is noted in the area:-.
Lessee– Shri Praveen Kumar Laibudva River Sand Project –11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha)
Lithology Lithological Characters 1. Recent flood plain Sand, greyish white, deposits of micaceous medium to course Ghaghra/Sarju/ Terhi and overbanks silts drainage System 2. Old flood plain deposits Thin veneer of top soil and silt of Ghaghra/Sarju rivers followed in depth by grey, micaceous sand 3. Bahraich Older Polycyclic sequence of sand, alluvium silt, clay with kankar
The Ramnagar-Daryabad-Gonda surface is the oldest formation. The sediments are mainly argillaceous at the top followed in depth by sandy clay and clay with kankar up to 10 m depth below which sandy horizons at variable depths. The depth to water in the Older alluvium surface varies between 3 and 7.50 m b.g.l. depending upon the topography of the area.
The old flood plain of Ghaghra/Sarju designated here as Tarabganj which is in continuity of Kaisarganj-Colonelgaj surface and is mainly arenaceous. This old flood plain is comprised of thin soil cover, silty clay and sand. These sediments are light grey to greyish white in colour, loose and incoherent. The depth to water in the old flood plain varies between 1.5 to 3 m b.g.l. The sediments of T1 a surface are predominantly arenaceous with no development of soil cover. The thickness of silty clay at the top horizon varies between 0.50 and 1 m below which sand, fine to medium grained, micaceous encounters. These sediment are light grey to earthy grey in colour. The present day flood plains of Ghaghra/Sarju comprise point bar and channel bar sands
Local Geology:-
The litho units encountered in the nalla bed and surrounding areas are the nalla born sediments and deposited in the low lying area. The size of the sediments
Lessee– Shri Praveen Kumar Laibudva River Sand Project –11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha)
towards the source i.e. host rock is course and at the tail end of the river the grain size is reduced to smaller sizes resulted in the formation of clay beds.
