Mining of River Sand is proposed in the river bed, the total mining area is 4.413 ha. Mining will be carried out by opencast method in the river bed area of 4.413Ha. Proposed production is 50000 Cub m/year of Sand.
2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region: The demand for sand is increasing day by day construction activities & infrastructure development. With the rapid pace of development and industrialization, the demand of building material has enhanced manifold in the last 10-15 years and the demand of sand has risen mainly in infrastructure activities like roads, highways, buildings & townships. Sand mining not only narrows the gap between the demand and supply if building material but also enhances employment opportunities and economic growth of the region. Besides, the production will also benefit the State in the form of revenue generation. Apart from this, the project will generate direct and indirect employment opportunities from the nearby villages. Also, the mine management will conduct medical camps at regular interval in the nearby villages and will help in providing infrastructure like school furniture, water tankers, etc.
2.4 Demands-Supply Gap: The entire sand of this project will be used for backfilling of Bhareli and
Ukwa underground mines. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production

4.7 Climatic Data From Secondary Sources The Climate of Balaghat District, M.Pis sub- tropical characterized by a hot summer and general dryness except during the southwest monsoon season. The year may divided into four seasons. The cold season, December to February is followed by the hot season from March to about the middle of June. The period from the middle of June to September is the southwest monsoon. October and November form the post monsoon or transition period. The normal annual rainfall of Balaghat district is 1294.5 mm. Seoni District received maximum rainfall during southwest monsoon period i.e. June to September. Thus, surplus water for ground water recharge is available only during the southwest monsoon period. C and minimumThe normal maximum temperature recorded during the month of May is 43 C. The normal annual means maximum and minimum temperaturesduring the month of December is 8 Cof Seoni district are 32 & C respectively.8 During the southwest monsoon season the relative humidity ranges between 70-75%. In the rest of the year it is drier. The driest part of the year is the summer season, when relative humidity is less 34%. May is the driest month of the year. The wind velocity is higher during the pre monsoon period as compared to post monsoon period. The

5.0 PLANNING BRIEF
5.1 Planning Concept Proposed Method of Mining in River bed mining is for extracting sand from Wainganga River bed. As per Madhya Pradesh Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2012 extraction is limited to 3.0 m depth or above ground water table, whichever comes first. Mining activity will be carried out in allocated areas only. Activities will be carried out as per the production schedule given earlier. The mining quarry will be working as self sustained units with all facilities
Applicant- M/s MOIL Limited 21 River Bed Mining at‘ Kanki Sand Unit’
PREPARED BY M/S GMEC INTERNAITONAL
like site office, rest shelter, first aid and drinking water etc. Mineral will be removed in 3.0 m layer. This is as per the digging depth of the equipments. Mineral will be loaded in trucks. Trucks and equipments will be on hire basis. No overburden or waste will be generated as the sand is exposed in the river bed. Workings will be restricted within the lease area/ khasra as per the description report given by Mining Department. Mining activities will be carried out in a manner so that there is no obstruction to the movement of water flow, if any. Mining operation will not be carried out during monsoon season.
5.2 Population Projection: Man power requirement for mining is estimated to be 10 Nos. Most of the employees will be recruited from neighboring areas depending upon the availability of skilled & unskilled people. So there will no permanent migration of people, hence there will be no population projection. .

Following species are proposed to be planted in the area. Sr. No. Botanical Name Common Name 1 Azadirachta Indica Neem 2 Acacia Nilotica Babool 3 Dalbergia Sissoo Sisham 4 Zizyphus Nmmularia Ber
5 Terminalia arjuna Arjuna In addition, forest officials will be consulted for other suitable species.
5.5.3 Health and safety System The collection of minor minerals from the river bed does not cause any occupational ill effects. Except dust generation (which is negligible as the River beds are wet) during dry climate season i. e. summer. There is no source which can show a probability for health related diseases. Dust masks will be provided to the workers working in the dust prone zones.
During the opencast working, and allied activities, all the precautionary measures shall be taken into account as per MMR 1961 and MCDR 1988 for safety and security.
6.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE 6.1 Industrial area (processing area) No industrial area is proposed. 6.2 Residential area (non-processing area) As the project will provide employment to people from local area, no residential area has been proposed for the project. 6.3 Greenbelt development A suitable combination of trees that can grow fast and also have good leaf cover to contain dust pollution shall be adopted to develop greenbelt. Greenbelt development will be done wherever possible.

6.4 Social infrastructure The project proponent will be committed for social development structures like health camps and minor physical structures in health centers. 6.5 Connectivity (traffic & transportation) The mined sand will be transported by hired trucks. Loaded trucks will travel on existing village roads which connect to SH-26 which is at a distance of 1.94 km in SSE direction and Sh-11 which is at a distance of 1.63 km in East direction through which the sand will be sent to various destinations. 6.6 Drinking water management Drinking Water will be made available from hand pump. The water requirement for mining & allied activities (sprinkling, greenbelt development), drinking and plantation have been estimated to be 1 KLD. The break-up of water requirement is as follows:
Sr. No. Purpose Total Requirement (KLD)
1 Dust suppression 0.50 2 Drinking 0.20 3 Green belt 0.30 TOTAL 1.0
6.7 Sewerage system Not required for the project. 6.8 Industrial waste management Not applicable for the project. 6.9 Solid waste management The domestic waste generated by the workers at the mine site will be disposed in soak pits/portable toilets.

7.0 REHABILITATION & RESETTLEMENT PLAN There is no human settlement within the mine lease area. No human settlement will be disturbed due to the mining activity. So, no Rehabilitation and resettlement is proposed.
8.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE 8.1 Proposed Schedule and Approval for Implementation The Proposed project shall be established after getting the Environmental Clearance from regulatory authority.
8.2 Project Cost Estimation Estimated Project Cost for the proposed project is 5.5 Crore/- (A) Capital investment (B) Estimated Project Cost with the proposed production is = 5.5 Crore. (C) CSR Budget = Rs. 0.50 lac/ year (D) EMP = Rs. 1.00 lac/-year
Economic Viability Not Applicable the mine out sand will be used for re-storage of the existing mine out pit of the project proponent.
9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL
The project will provide employment to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly by the project. This also ensures scientific method of sand extraction. The appropriate amount of corporate social responsibility is promised by the project proponent. The underlying benefits through the proposed project are: It aims to provide additional employment to the local population of the proposed project. As there would be vocational training camps and Technical Training of mining to the regional people, hence there will be potential manpower available for the proposed & surrounding mines of the area. Applicant- M/s MOIL Limited 25 River Bed Mining at‘ Kanki Sand Unit’
PREPARED BY M/S GMEC INTERNAITONAL
For extracting the mineral no blasting will be carried out. Conveyance facilities to all employees, for daily commuting will be provided. Refresher training will be imparted as per the requirement to generate potential manpower. Workers will be imparted training in use of personal protective equipments. In addition to this the project proponent proposes to conduct health care camps and medication programmes.
As per the preliminary data, the above activities were identified on the need based requirement of the study area. Further activities will be analyzed, after the analysis of the baseline data generation and socio- economic field observations; the appropriate sustainable development will be contributed and projected by the proposed project. =====*********=====
