PART - A 1.0 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION.
(a) Brief description of the topography, general geology and local geology of the Mineral deposit including drainage pattern.
Topography & Drainage pattern.
The Mines area falls in ToposheetNo.45 F/3. The Ordinary Sand outcrops occur as flat terrian. The highest and lowest point of the applied area is 84.98 and 80.17 meters respectively. The area falls on the slope of the hill, with 20 degree average inclination towards N-S. The Mines is fully Government land, which is flat terrain. River bed exists within the area, Rain water flows through river slope towards North to south, during rainy season.
Vegetation
The area is in Chhotaudepur which falls under arid climate. Consequently, it is characterized bysandy plain, more of less barren of vegetation expect in rainy season when multitudes of ephemeral come un and transform the bare land into a green carpet, These ephemeral complete their life cycle before the advent of summer heat and bulk of the area is once more transformed into open sandy and stony plane, desolate and barren.
In general the vegetation in arid region is sparse. Plants with xerophytes adaptation are able to establish themselves. The bulk of vegetation at the study area consists of stunted, thorny or prickly shrubs or perennial herbs capable of brought resistance, distantly scattered trees of stunted growth are found in this part of the country. Such vegetation is known as desert scrub. The dominant tree species are Neem, Baval, Sagvan, Pipal, Mango, Banyan tree etc.
Climate conditions
The climate is moderate and temperature ranges from 26-430C during summer to about 120C during winter. The average annual rain fall is 400 to 500 mm which received during monsoon season from June to September. Predominant wind direction is SE-NE. Generally wind blows with a velocity of 12-12 Km/hr in all seasons. Relative humidity varies from 23% to 83%.
(b) Brief description of Regional Geology with reference to location of lease/applied area. Regional Geology:
The Chhotaudepurs district forms the north-eastern part of the Gujarat State. It is bounded by the Sabarkantha district of Gujarat and the Banswara district of Rajasthan in the north, and by the Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh to the west. The district occupies an area of 8,866 km and has a population of 29,56,456 people, Bodeli, Sant Rampur, JhalodShehera, Godhra, Limkheda, Dahod, KalolDevgarhBaria, Halol and Jambughoda are the 11 talukas. Excepting the western plain part, the entire district has hills of low altitude. The only exception being the Pavagadh hill. The Mahiriver is the most Prominent river along with its tributaries like the Karod, the Mesri, the Goma and the Panam. The avarage annual rainfall of the district is 90 cm. The district is well connected by roads and rails.

The Archaean (?) crystallines, exposed to the southeast of DevgadhBaria, Comprising granite gneiss and biotite gneiss are presumed to e oldest rocks in the area, Major part of the hilly terrain of the district is occupied by the intensely flowed Aravalli Super group of rocks, comprising lithounits belonging to the udaipur, Bodeli and the Champaner Groups. The Udaipur Group of rocks is exposed in the east of Santrampur as a narrow belt and comprisephyllite, mica schist, metasubgraywacke chlorite schist, phyllitic quartzite, protoquartizite and minor bands of dolomite. The Champaner Group of rocks, restricted to the southern part of the district, has been subdivided into six formatics, mainly due to interfomational conglomerate horizons. Loamy and clayey soils occur in the piedmont plains, hilly terrain and plains. Bouger Gravity anomaly varies form 30 to 50 mgals. The entire district falls in the moderate risk zone of the seismicity. hot springs are present at Tuca, Nimbod and RathMoti. The main geomorphic units in the district are alluvial plains, metasedimentary and granitic pediplains. sedimentarypediplain and alluvial plain are excellent acquifers.

(e) Conceptual Mines planning up to the end of lease period taking into consideration the present available reserves and resources describing the excavation, recovery of ROM, Disposal of waste, Backfilling of voids, reclamation and rehabilitation showing on a plan with few relevant sections.
14
Exploration: Massive deposit of Ordinary Sand occurs is in the form of a lose, having exposure of all sides up to bottom of River bed. The huge quantity of material to sustain production more than 13 years is visible under proved category. Therefore further exploration is not required.
Mines development: As such very nominal development work for proposed road making work will be required to start production from this area. The proposed mining has been selected along strike direction covering maximum width up to ultimate depth. Therefore, the development & production plan have been described.
Optimum Exploitation and utilization of Mineral: Ordinary Sand Mineral in the lease area has been excavated up to 7.5 m statutory barrier all along the lease boundary with the restriction of mining width; under the present scenario mining cannot proceed below 80.17mRL. Lessee should apply to DGMS for mining in 7.5 barrier. In the present pit design final pit slope is considered at 450. In the fifth year of mining the present reserves are likely to exhaust, hence company can approach DGMS for steeper final slope of the pit and recover the blocked Mineral to possible maximum limit.
Disposal of Waste 0% waste of ROM from Ordinary Sand will be generated during mining. Total 111300 cum tone & 0 swelled wastes will be generated. Initially during scheme of mining (1st to 5th year) waste will be dumped on ground level as shown in plate no.3. During the proposed five years period year wise barbed wire fencing will be done around the plantation area wire fencing will prevent any inadvertent entry. Year Waste in cum 2016-17 -- 2017-18 -- 2018-19 -- 2019-20 -- 2020-21 -- Total -- Environmental Aspects: Due to mining, envies Jabugam land degradation will be in the form of open pit and area covered will be about 6.3706 hectares out of 7.9500 hectares. By the end of life of Mines 1.5794 ha. will be developed as green belt along the statutory barrier. Machinery in use at the Mines will generate dust and noise and all preventive measures as per consent to operate will be strictly implemented. Negative impact on land degradation will be reduced by way of green belt along the lease boundary. Air pollution will be controlled by way of providing fully automatic drilling machine from where continuous supply of water during drilling flows down to suppress any dust generated during drilling. Sprinkling of water over haul roads, loading and unloading points will be provided. Dusts masks will be provided to workers engage Jabugam in drilling and working in dusty environment. No Mineral beneficiation is proposed hence, no water treatment is required. However any water flowing from the Mines to outside will be circulated through the sumps and settlers, so arrest any silt. Sumps and settlers will be periodically cleaned.
15
Regular Air, water and noise quality will be monitored as per the guide lines from SPCB. SPM level of 500 ug/m3in ambient air will be achieved. Standard of 600 ug/m3 will be applicable within 3-10 m of any equipment. Day time noise level shall be kept below 75d B A (Leq) and night time at 70 dB A (Leq) Other conditions as per consent operate will be followed
Plantation : Plantation will be carried out along the lease boundary over 7.5 m statutory barrier (1.5794 hectares) by the end of SOM period. Year wise plantation program for the SOM period is given below.
SN Site Area 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 19-20 1 Green belt along 1.5794 (25 No. of Plant) statutory barrier 25 28 28 28 28 Species to be planted: Neem, Sagwan, Banyan, Pilu, Baval etc. Expected rate of Survival : Expected rate of survival is anticipated at 80 % Proper care maintenance will be done as proposed in the chapter on environment management in the SOM.
Post Mining land use: The applied lease area at the end of mining when Mineral will be fully exhausted will be backfilled by waste from ROM generated during mining and remaining mine out will be used for rain water storage. However at the end of lease period total plantation area will be 1.5794 hectares. This will enhance the aesthetic beauty of the area. This work should be taken up in consultation with Horticulturist and landscape designers.
Reclamation &Rehabilitation: At the end of mining plan period, about 6.3706 hectares area will be cover under mining up to depth 80.17 m RL. Ordinary Sand Mineral will continue in strike for further mining. Thus no reclamation is proposed at this plan period. The plantation will be done along lease boundary in next five years. At the end of mining plan period total 1.5794 hectares area will be planted. Backfilling has proposed in next five year plan period. Nonetone of waste will be generated from Ordinary Sand, total waste will be generated during plan period will be dumped on the ground level.

8.0 PROGRESSIVE MINES CLOSURE PLAN
UNDER RULE 23 OF MCDR’1988 8.1 Environment Base Line Information: Topography & Drainage The Mines area falls in ToposheetNo.45 F/3. The Ordinary Sand outcrops occur as massive hillocks. The highest and lowest points of the applied area are 84.98 and 80.17 meters respectively. The area falls on the slope of the hill, with 20 degree average inclination towards N-S. The Mines is fully Government land, which is flat terrain. River bed exists within the area, Rain water flows through river slope towards North to south, during rainy season.
Existing Land use Pattern: The lease area is a Government land of Orsang River Adjoing 284/A, which falls under Jabugam Village. No agriculture land exist the lease area. (Refer plate No.2A) Activity Present In Hec At the end of plan Period In Hec Mining 0.0 6.3706 Pits/Activity 0.0 0.0 Mining Area Dumps 0.0 0.0 Haul Road 0.0 0.0 Infrastructure 0.0 0.0 Mineral Stock 0.0 0.0 Plantation 0.0 1.5794 Remaining virgin 7.9500 0.0 area 7.9500 7.9500
(i) Water regime Surface and Ground Bodies : S.No. Name of the water Body Date of Sampling Sampling Location 1 Mining Site - -
(ii) Quality of air The entire area is very calm and quiet and free form air pollution. The quality of air level appears to be within permissible limits (No Survey has been conducted for the preparation of mining plan of small area). The source of pollution as regard air area the surrounding small Mines which contribute mainly for the pollution.
23
(iii) Ambient noise level The entire area is very calm and quiet and free from noise pollution. The quality of ambient noise level appears to be within permissible limit (no survey has been conducted for the preparation of mining plan of small area) the source of pollution as regard noise area the surrounding small Mines which contribute mainly for the pollution.
(iv) Flora and fauna The area lies in Chhotaudepur, which falls under arid climate. Consequently, it is characterized by sandy plain, more of less barren of vegetation except in rainy season when multitudes of ephemeral come up and transform the bare land into a green carpet. These ephemeral complete their life cycle before the advent of summer heat and bulk of the area is once more transformed into open sandy and stony plane, desolate and barren. In general the vegetation in arid region is sparse. Plants with xerophytes adaptation are able to establish themselves. The bulk of vegetation at the study area consists of stunted, Thorny of prickly shrubs of perennial herbs capable of drought resistance. Distantly scattered trees of stunted growth are found in this part of the country. Such vegetation is known as desert scrub. The dominant tree species are neem, Baval, Sagvan, Pipal, Mango, Banyan tree etc. The terrestrial fauna of the region mainly comprises of domestic animals and burrow dwellers. During the study period no endangered of rare species was found within the study area.
(v) Climatic conditions The climate is moderate and temperature ranges from 26-430C during summer to about 120C during winter. The average annual rain fall is 400 to 500 mm which received during monsoon season from June to September. Predominant wind direction is SE-NE. Generally wind blows with a velocity of 12-12 Km/hr in all seasons. Relative humidity varies from 23% to 83%.
(vi) Human settlements There is no village within the lease area. Lease area is situated in the revenue boundary of Jabugam, Jabugam village is situated in north direction of the lease area.
(vii) Public buildings, places of worship and monuments Area is free from any public building and monuments. The lease area is free from sink hole having any connection to any cave system and Perennial River is far away from the lease area as such not going to affect any way.
(viii) Weather any Sanctuary is located in the vicinity of lease hold? No any Sanctuary is located in the vicinity of lease hold area.
8.2 Impact Assessment: The Mining operation will have some impact on the existing environment, both adverse and beneficial. Considering the nature and scale of operation, on the other hand impact on socio-economic will be largely beneficial. The possible impacts are enumerated below:
24
(i) Land Environment At the end of five years, damage to the landscape in the form of pit & road etc., about 7.9500 hectares will be pit. The area influence of mining at the end of 5th year & end of the Mines life is given below:
Activity Present In Hec At the end of plan Period In Hec Mining 0.0 6.3706 Pits/Activity Mining 0.0 0.0 Area Dumps 0.0 0.0 Haul Road 0.0 0.0 Infrastructure 0.0 0.0 Mineral Stock 0.0 0.0 Plantation 0.0 1.5794 Water Storage 0.0 0.0 Backfilled area 0.0 0.0 Remaining virgin 7.9500 0.0 area 7.9500 7.9500
(ii) Air Quality Air quality gets affected due to mining, blasting and movement of earth moving equipment etc.However, the impacts area localized and is not continuous. Overall effect for mining of Ordinary Sand from this 7.9500 hect. Area is insignificant. To reduce such impacts measures will be adopted from the inception by spraying water all along the haul road. Further a forestation all along the lease boundary and haul road will arrest a major quantity of dust. In blasting use of delay/non electric system will result reduction of vibration as well as dust.
(iii) Water Quality The mining excavation of which will never touch the ground water table. Hence no question of ground water pollution arises.
(iv) Noise levels Operation of equipment will emit noise. To have control on noise level within 80 db adherence to strict schedule maintenance, monitoring of noise will be carried out. Blasting-Noise & Vibration during blasting is momentary but needs proper planning to reduce the same.
(v) Water regime Unaffected
(vi) Acid Mines drainage This is not applicable to the Ordinary Sand area.
25
(vii) Surface subsidence This is not applicable to the Ordinary Sand area.
(viii) Socio-economic environment Mining in this lease area will gave more job opportunity to the local people thus,Ordinary Sand mining will not create any adverse effect to the local people. Ordinary Sand mining will not generate hazardous dust, which may cause health problem to Mines workers. The nearest human settled village is Jabugam which is nearby from lease area. Thus mining will not have any impact on the village human settlement.
(ix) Historical monuments etc. No Historical monument lies within the core and 5 Km. buffer zone.
8.3 Progressive reclamation plan: 8.3.1 Mine out land Description of the proposals to be implemented for reclamation and rehabilitation of Mine out land including the manner in which the actual site of the pit will be restored for future use, supported with yearly plans and section depicting yearly progress in the activities for land restoration/reclamation/rehabilitation, a forestation etc., called “Reclamation plan” Land use pattern at present and at the end of plan period is given above: Reclamation & Rehabilitation At the end of mining plan period, about 7.9500hectares area will be cover under mining up to depth 80.17mRL. Ordinary Sand Mineral will continue is strike for further mining after approved applet Authority. Thus no reclamation is proposed at this exiting mining area. The plantation will be done along lease boundary in next five year. At the end of mining plan period total 1.5794hectares area will be planted.
Plantation: Plantation will be carried out along the lease boundary over 7.5 m statutory barrier (1.5794 hectares) by the end of plan period. Year wise plantation program for the SOM period is given below: Year No.of plants Area (in Hect.,) Survival Rate 2016-17 10 0.31588 50% 2017-18 10 0.31588 50% 2018-19 10 0.31588 50% 2019-20 10 0.31588 50% 2020-21 10 0.31588 50% Total 1.5794
Expected rate of survival: Expected rate of survival is anticipated at 80% Proper care maintenance will be done as proposed in the chapter on Environment management in the SOM.
26
8.3.2 Top soil Management:
No top soil generated whatever top soil generated has been used for plantation.
8.3.3 Tailings Dam Management:
There is no tailing generation in the process of mining. Hence no tailing dam management.
8.3.4 Acid Mines drainage, if any and its mitigative measures.
There is no acid drainage in this Mines of Ordinary Sand area, so no mitigative measures are proposed.
8.3.5 Surface subsidence mitigation measures through backfilling of Mines voids or by any other means and its monitoring mechanism.
