. 2.2 Brief description of the nature of the project

The proposed project under operation is to mine Khanda, Gitty Boulder (Building stone) for a period of 10 years having production capacity Approximately 68750 Tonne /Annum minor mineral will be extracted with sustainably and scientifically. Following geo-scientific methodsExisting Methodare under of taken mining:to carry out the activity.

PFR | 3 PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT

It was opencast manual/Semi-mechanized mine with adoption of drilling & blasting. Drilling was carried out with 32mm dia jack hammer drill rods & blasting material was explosive. The blasted material broken by manually up to sized 2ft & loaded into tippers manually dispatch to crusher plant which is about 1.5km away from mine site. Mining was carried through the formation of one bench. The height of bench was kept 6.0m width of o benches was kept 6.0m with face slope 60 . Approach road having width 5 m & gradient 1:16Proposed was providedmethod of to mining: mining faces from the transportation of mineral.

It shall be opencast semi-mechanized mine. To meet required production wagon drilling with deep hole blasting shall be carried out. The blasted material will be handled with excavator & loaded into dumpers. The height & width of bench shall be kept 6m with face slopes 70o. Secondary blasting with jackhammer drilling shall be carried out if required.

2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region

The Gitty will be used for making the aggregates. The Gitty of lease area is hard, medium to coarse grained greyish in color & porphyritic texture.

The production of Gitti/boulders benefits to the state in the form of royalty. Apart from this project operation is providing employment directly and indirectly to the people PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT

2.4 Demands-Supply Gap residing in vicinity, thus improving the Socio-economic status of the area.

Gitti/Boulders has become a very important mineral for the expansion of society. With the increase of urbanization the demand for Gitti/Boulders is growing in infrastructure sector in our country. The mineral is used for making concrete, filling roads, building sites, brick making, making glass, Gitti/Boulders papers, reclamations etc. Individual and private companies are increasingly demanding Gitti/Boulders for construction purposes and this has immense pressure on Gitti/Boulders resources. This increasing demand makes this an environmental issue. Gitti/Boulders is one of the most plentiful natural resource and has got ability to replenish itself. The demand of Gitti/Boulders is directly proportional to the supply. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production

There will be no import for the project. There will be indigenous inputs in the entire mining2.6 Exportactivity. Possibility:

In of Uttar Pradesh, numbers of Gitti/Boulders mines are there. There is abundance of Gitti/Boulders in the area; it had become a major raw material for the infrastructure development and is at high demand in the north-west Uttar Pradesh .The proposed mining project will fulfill its end uses in buildings and construction, paving, monuments2.7 Domestic/ and many Export other Markets exterior projects.

Due to the increased industrial and infrastructural growth of the rural and urban areas demand of Gitti/Boulders is very high. Construction companies and local vendors in

Yes, through this project peoples get employment. The project directly generates the employment for the local people and indirectly for the others. Also the marketing of the product generates the employment for peoples. By this project, approximately 21 persons employed directly on project site. PFR | 5 PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT

The operation involves the extraction of Gitti/Boulders and loaded into trucks and will transport the material to the local market directly. The existing roads are being utilized for3.7 the Resourcetransport of optimization/Gitti/Boulders recyclingfrom mine and site reuseto market. envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined

Mineral will be utilized and sent for use to different end users. Some of the rejects /waste will be used for the maintenance of roads. Rainwater harvesting will be done in excavated pit void and will be used for water conservation thereby reducing exploitation of groundwater.3.8 Availability of water its source, energy/ power requirement and source: a.Water requirement:-

There is very little requirement of water to carry out operation as it is being done manually. The water is required either for drinking purposes or for dust suppression. Total required manpower is 42 for the project. The drinking water requirement will be 4.515 KLD, which is met by tankers. The water required for dust suppression is taken from tankers. b. Energy power source:-

All the activities are being carried out manually and mechanically. The operation is being done in day time; hence there is no power requirement for the project at site. PFR | 7 PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT

3.9 Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their management/ disposal.

The entire mineral extracted is saleable. The laborers from nearby villages are hired to carry out work in day time only, hence there is no or very less waste is generated expected to generate. No liquid effluent is generated at site. 4. SITE ANALYSIS (i) Connectivity: (ii)

The lease area is connected Banda- Naraini MDR 11 B. A diversion takes place towards W direction from Majhgawan Seodha by -mettalled road for 2.50 Km and further diversion. take place to N direction to lease area by 0.50 km mettalled & 0.25 km un mettalled The area is well connected by local bus services, which connects Banda to Jarar Village. The nearest Railway Station is at 20.0km far from the lease area and nearest Airport is at Khajurao. 5.0 PLANNING BRIEF 5.1 Planning Concept (type of industries, facilities, transportation etc) Town and Country Planning/Development authority Classification:

The mineral is being directly transported to the nearby markets in towns and cities. No mining activity is to undertaken during the monsoon season. So the river bed material is to be replenished during the monsoon season every year. The project is under operation to mine Gitti/Boulders from river bed sustainably and scientifically. Mining is opencast manually along the centre of river bed keeping both 5.2 thePopulation shores unaffected. projection

There is no permanent influx of the population, as the workers are being hired locally from nearby villages. 5.3 Land use planning

The land use of the mine lease area is the river bed of River and there is no change in landuse after operation as the Gitti/Boulders will be replenished every year during PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT

5.4 theAssessment monsoon ofseason Infrastructure. The ultimate Demand land use(Physical of the mine & Social)lease area will not be change.

6.3 TheGreen mine belt workersDevelopmentare hired from nearby villages, no housing facility is required.

The lease area is marked by large exposure of barren land. The lease area is rocky terrain so it is not feasible to undertake the plantation with in lease hold. The plantation will be undertaken outside the lease area around crusher plant. The tree species recommended are Ficus religosa (pipal), Boswellia serrata (Salai), Shorea robusta (sal) and tactone grandis (teak) may also be recommended. Mangifera indica (Aam), Emblica officinalis (Anwala), Aegle marmerlos (Ibei), Planting should be done in large sized 90 cm x 90 cm. due in advance and filled about 50 days before planting. The plantation raised earlier should be carefully maintained. Mortalities should be replaced by fresh planting. 6.4 Social Infrastructure
