1.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / PROJECT BACKGROUND

1.1 Introduction of the Project

Name of Project: Minor Mineral Brick Earth (Soil)

Location of Project: Gata No. 548,684,365bmi,768,709,686 Village: Kharauli & Mawai Alampur Tehsil: Tiloi District: Amethi State: Uttar Pradesh Production: 31959.04 m3 Total ML Area 2.4868 Ha

Name and address of the project proponent: Smt.Tamim Fatma (Proprietor) W/o Sh. Noor Mohammad Materia Town: Janapur,Mohang Tehsil: Tiloi anj District: Amethi State: Uttar Pradesh

1.2 Brief description of the nature of project

The project has been proposed by M/s New Asad Brick field owned by Tamim Fatma W/o Sh. Noor Mohammad (Proprietor)as per agreement who is resident of Materia Janapur,Mohanganj in Tehsil- Tiloi & of District Amethi, Uttar Pradeshand is responsible for every governmental procedures for Environmental Clearance. The Project is proposed for mining of minor mineral Brick Earth (Soil) within 31959.04 m3capacity in 5 Years from the non-forested, non-arable, rugged land within the mining area.

Need of the project and its importance to the country and or the region

Brick Earth (Soil) will be used as the raw material for the processing of Brickswhich are required for various infrastructural projects going around the region. Abundant resource is available and excavation under permissible limits from the non-forested and non-arable land is the most preferable land use.

1.3 Demand supply gap

Bricks as the building blocks for various construction projects are in high demand these days because of the ongoing rapid infrastructural development all around the state of Uttar Pradesh. Current excavation project is particularly for meeting the requirement of regional demands seeking soil for processing of bricks. Moreover; the current demand is 60% as high as the current supply.

2.0 Export possibility

No there is no room for export.

Domestic / Export Markets: Domestic demands of Bricksare much higher than what is available today.

Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to project: Manual mining will require 22 local heads to be employed.

(i) Land form, land use and land ownership

The land of Amethi district is generally plane except some regions around the Gomti River which drains almost the whole district. It may be called an agrarian area as agriculture is the main occupation of the people.The proposed site is non-arable, undulated (rugged) and non-forested. This land is good for mining of minor minerals like soil. Such excavations up to a depth of 0.9 meter are required for the restoration fertility to the land as it exposes underneath fertile soil. (ii) Land ownership The project site is on Agreement. (iii)Topography along with map and Soil type : The land of Amethi district is generally plane except some regions around the Gomti River which drains almost the whole district. It may be called an agrarian area as agriculture is the main occupation of the people. Amethi district has a wet and dry climate with average temperatures ranging between 23oC to 28 °C. Amethi experiencesthree distinct seasons: summer, monsoon and a mild autumn. Typical summer months are from March to May, with maximum temperatures ranging from 36 to 44 °C.
