2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT

Sand is a ubiquitous material; available everywhere and is being used from the time immemorial for wide applications in our daily life; infrastructures, building construction, highways, roads, townships, multiplexes, foundations of buildings and industrial units etc. and is an integral part of development. Life without sand is unthinkable. Over the millennia, the weathering effect, the flow of water at high velocities in rivers and the pressure of water from the high mountainous reservoirs converted and pushed the hard ground underneath into sand, etc. which travelled as sediments with the flow. This sand got deposited along the river course wherever conditions were favorable. In the deep past this settled sand was not extracted in a quantity in which it deposited; since due to less population the requirements was not enough. As a result of continuous deposit of sand, the rivers went on changing their course, widening by itself, eroding the fields and expanding, resulting in flooding, inundation and breaking their banks, causing devastation of property and loss of life. There has been a severe impact on every aspect of the environment. The rivers thus, needed channelization and therefore, extraction of sand through mining was expedient. The haphazard mining of sand being practiced now for long, through unregulated, uncontrolled and illegal way added almost an irreversible damage to the environment, which became a cause of serious concern to everyone. Though sand is a very important mineral source for development, its mining through scientific methods has also become equally imperative.

It is for this purpose that ‘mining plan’ is being drawn so that all its aspects are taken care of justifiably, according to law, protecting the environment, removing all adverse impacts and creating a direct and indirect employment opportunities, improving socio-economic conditions of the local inhabitants and all-around status of life, achieving thereby a sustainable development.

Besides the above, the process of mining of minor minerals (Sand) is a constant source of revenue generation to the State Government through Royalty.

2.2 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT The Department of Mines & Geology, Bihar required under Bihar Minor Mineral Concession (Amendment) Rules, 2014. The conditions which are related to the mining plan are reproduced here below:

Ø The period of contract shall commence w.e.f. the date of grant of environmental clearance by competent authority as required under EIA notification dated 14.09.2006 and as amended from

time to time by the MOEF, GoI or on expiry of a period of 12 months from the date of acceptance of highest bid/issuance of “Saidhanitk Letter” whichever is earlier;

Ø The Settlee shall also deposit/pay an additional amount equal to 2.0 % of the due contract money along with installments towards the ‘Mines and Minerals Development, Restoration and Rehabilitation Fund’;

Ø The mining settlee shall get a “Mining Plan” prepared along with the Mine Closure Plan (Progressive & Final) from the Recognized Qualified Person as per Schedule – 4 of the “Bihar Minor Mineral Concession (Amendment) Rules, 2014” for mining area granted on contract. The Settlee shall not commence mining operations in any area except in accordance with such Mining Plan duly approved by an officer authorized by the Director, Mines & Geology, in this behalf. Further, the actual mining will be allowed to be commenced only after prior Environmental Clearance is obtained by the Saidhantik Letter holder/mining Settlee for the Mining blocks area from Competent Authority as required under notification dated 14/9/2006 issued by the MoEF & Saidhanitk Letter as amended from time to time.

Ø As per Schedule-4, Rule number-8

(8) Responsibility of the holder of mining lease/settlement-

i. The owner, agent or manager of a mining lease/ settlement shall have the responsibility to insure that the protective measures contained in the mine closure plan referred to in this rule including reclamation and rehabilitation work have been carried out in accordance with the approved mine closure plan or with such modifications as approved by the officer authorized by the State Government in this behalf under this rule.

ii. The owner, agent or manager of a mining lease / settlement shall submit to the officer authorized by the state Government in this behalf, a yearly report before 31st December of every year setting forth the extent of protective and rehabilitative works carried out as envisaged in the approved mine closure plan, and if there is any deviation, reasons thereof.”

Ø The Mining Settlee shall not stock any mineral outside the concession area granted on mining contract, without obtaining a valid mineral dealer license as per provisions of the “Bihar Minor Mineral Concession (Amendment) Rules, 2014”.

Ø The Settlee shall not carry out any mining operations in any reserved/protected forest or any area prohibited by any law in force in India, or prohibited by any authority without obtaining prior permission in writing from such authority or officer authorized in this behalf.

CHAPTER-4

4. GEOLOGY & EXPLORATION 4.1.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY

Banka district was a sub-division of erstwhile Bhagalpur district and was upgraded into a full fledged district on 21st Feburary,1991. The district lies between north latitude 24o30’0’’ to 25o 07’0’’ and east longitude 86o30’00’’to 87o12’00’’. It covers a parts the degree sheet number 72K, 72O, 72L and 72P of Survey of India. The geographical area of the district is 3019.5 km2. It’s district Headquarter is in Banka town. The district is bounded in the north by Bhagalpur, in the south by Deoghar, in the east by Godda, in the west by Jamui, in the NW by Munger and in the southeast by Dumka districts. The district is having population density 533 person/km2 and the decadal growth rate of the last decade (1991-2001) is 24.47%. The population of schedule tribes and schedule caste are 4.7%and 12.43%of the total population respectively. There are two statutory towns namely Banka and Amarpur. The most populous block is Dhuraiya and the least populous is Phulidumar.

The Banka district lies in south of the river Ganga and constitutes a part of the Ganga River Basin. It falls under Badua –Chandan sub-basin. It has three watershed,namely Badua Nala ,Chandan river watershed and the left bank watershed of Burigeria Nala & on the eastern side Odhni & Sukhniya drainages. The major part of the district falls under Chandan river watershed.

The area constitute almost alluvial plain without any conspicuous topographical features & forms a past of the vast Indo-Gangetic Plain. the elevation of the area above mean sea level ranges from 66ASML on the north to 110 ASML in the south with an average elevation of 88 ASML. The general slope of the area is towards north ward.

Five major rivers/nalas, namely Badua N.(forming the north western boundary), Chandan R. which flows through the central part of the district and the Odhni & Sukhniya (forming the eastern boundary of the district) drains the area. All the five rivers/nalas originate from the hilly tracks present in the south of the district and flows from south to north direction. The streams namely Kudar, Orni, Panchkatia & Cheer are the main tributaries of Chandan,while Lohargara,Karunior,Belharna are the main tributaries of Badua. All the rivers are ephemeral in nature. The drainage map of Banka District is given below-

Banka Sand Mining Project Mine Plan

The various major surface water irrigation schemes present in the district are as follows: 1. Chandan Reservoir Irrigation Scheme 2. Kajia Danr Irrigation Scheme 3. Badua Reservoir Project-shambhuganj and Belhar blocks 4. Chandan, Bilasi Irrigation Scheme - Banka 5. Orhni Reservoir Irrigation Project – Banka ,Pullidumer 6. Laxmipur Reservoir Irrigation Project-Bounsi Block

The Chandan reservoir is major irrigation project in the Banka district. Its command area falls in the Banka,Barahat,Rajaun and Dhuraiya block of Banka district. The gross command area is 1.40 m ha. and the surface water irrigation facility is available only to 0.64 m ha in kharif and 7690 ha during rabi (this isinclusive of water directed from small structures like ahar etc).

Geomorphology

The district can be broadly divided into two broad physiographic division viz. alluvial plain in the north and the hilly track in the south. The regional slope from south to north is prominent. The west of the alluvial plain of the river Ganga is bordered by the Munger-Kharagpur hills. The hills of

15 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

Banka Sand Mining Project Mine Plan the district are generally moderate in height, denuded and irregularly scattered.Geomorphologically the area is being divided into five distinct units.These units given below are in chronological order from youngest to oldest.

1) Diara Surface: It is the youngest morpho-unit of the area comprising of yellow-brown to brownish-grey compact clay. It is the recent flood plain of the major rivers passing through the district. 2) Belhar Surface: It is a flat alluvial low land usually free from regular annual flooding, but is prone to water logging in the patches. The surface overlies the recent flood plain surface .The soil is buff to brown colour and rich in silt, sand or silty clay. 3) Sautadih Surface: The surface belongs to the older alluvial upland bordering the pediplains and the hilly area. The soil profile is well developed and characterised by deeply oxidesed yellow to brownish red clay with ferruginous concretions. 4) Pediplain Surface: The surface borders the northen margin of the distrct. These rocky units are essentially produced by the erosional process. The surface has developed primarily on the granite gneisses and is characterized by lack of good soil profile and colluvial deposits of weathered material. 5) Hilly /Rocky upland: This includes the hilly area of the Chotanagpur plateau, consisting of granite gneiss, quartzites, phyllites and mica schist.

Soils

Banka district is characterized by a wide variety of soils, which can be broadly grouped into two categories, the alluvial soil and hilly soil. The alluvial soil derived partly from the older alluvium deposit and partly form the newer flood plain deposit is characterized by light grey to dark grey colour and fine texture. The hilly soil derived from the weathered product of rocks is coarse grained, ferruginous, low in nitrogen, medium to high potash and acidic in nature.

Rainfall and Climate

The climate of the district is characterized by hot summer and a pleasant winter. April to June comprises summer month while November to March makes cold eason. The southwest monsoon breaks in the month of June and continues upto the end of September. The average annual rainfall in the district is 1168 mm. The district receives major amount (86%) of precipitation during the monsoon period.

Hydrogeology

16 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

Banka Sand Mining Project Mine Plan

The Banka district can be sub-divided broadly into two hydrogeological units.

1) Alluvial Formation: It occupies the northern part of the district. The Quaternary alluvial deposits consisting of sand ,silt and clay forms a good repository of the ground water. The ground water occurs in the porous material under both unconfined and semi-confined to confined conditions depending on the disposition of aquifers.

2) Fissured Formation: The fissured formation constitutes the Chotanagpur Granite Gneissic Complex and meta sedimentaries. Ground water occurs in these rocks under confined to semi-confined conditions. The secondary porosity e.g. fractures,joints and fault planes acts as aquifer and controls the storage and movement of ground water.

Ground water in the alluvial track of the district

The thickness of Quaternary Alluvial deposit generally ranges from 15m to 100m in the northern part of the district. The maximum depth to bedrock is at Raipura which is 99m.The sandy layers in the alluvial terrain form the main repository of ground water in the northern part of the district. The thickness of alluvial deposit increases from south to north. Ground water usually occurs under both unconfined conditions in aquifer disposed at shallower depth and under semi-confined to confined condition at deeper depths.

Ground water in the hard rock formation

As the southern part of the district is underlain by Precambrian formations, the movement, occurrence and distribution of the ground water is primarily controlled by nature and distribution of joints, fissures and other structural zones of weakness. At places the granites and meta-sedimataries are weathered and extensively jointed. Ground water occurs in this weathered formation in unconfined condition, Whereas the deeper fracture within the hard rocks also form a very good repository of ground water.

Depth to Ground Water level

Depth to ground water level for pre-monsoon and postmonsoons 2006 have been prepared. A perusal of the depth to water level map of pre-monsoon period indicates that water level is shallowest (0-4m bgl) in the orthwestern part of the district covering Shambhuganj, western parts of Amarpur and northern part of Belhar blocks,

The depth to water level in the range of 4-5 m covers the rest of Amarpur block, southern part of the Belhar and Shambhuganj and northern part of Pullidumar blocks and the subsequent range of 5-7 m water level occupies the major part of the distrct covering Belhar, north Chandan, north Katoria almost entirely Banka, Rajaun ,Dhuraiya and northern part of Bausi blocks. The deepest

Banka Sand Mining Project Mine Plan

water level range of 7-9m occupies the southern hard rock area of the district,covering rest of Chandan,Katoria and Bausi blocks.

During the post-monsoon period the depth to ground water level in the north western and north eastern parts of the district rests in the range of 0-3m bgl, followed by 3-5m range of water level covering the central part of the district. The southern part of Chandan and western part of the Katoria blocks show the deepest water level of 5-7m.

The Ganga Plain extends from Aravalli-Delhi ridge in the west to the Rajmahal hills in the east; Himalayan foothills (Siwalik hills) in the north to the Bundelkhand-Vindhyan plteau-Hazaribag plateau in the south.

Subsurface succession in alluvial deposits

The Ganga Plain is a active area of sedimentation receiving a huge amount of sediments from the Himalaya, and some from the Peninsular craton. The Ganga Plain was subdivided into the following area: Doon valley, Bhabar zone, Terai zone, Terai-Ghaghara river, Chaghara-Gomti interfluve, Gomati-Ganga interfluve Ganga-Yamuna interfluve and Marginal Alluvial Plain. Lithology of all the boreholes of each area was pooled together and relative percentages of different lithologies were calculated.

The succession in Doon Valley shows about 18% gravel, 16% sand, 66% clay, with gravel horizons increasing in the lower parts. The Bhabar zone shows 50% gravel, 34% sand, and 16% mud with thicker horizons of gravel in lover part. The Terai zone shows 24% gravel, 36% sand, and 38%

mud. The northern part of Central Alluvial Plaon (terai-Ghaghara zone) shows about 5% gravel, 45% sand and 50% mud. The southern part of Cetral Alluvial Plaon (Ghaghara-Gomit Interfluve) shows 50% mud-kankar, 20% mud, 20% sand and 10% gravel. The Gomti-Ganga interfluve shows 62% mud, 26% gravel, 8% sand, and 4% kanka. The Ganga-Yamuna interfluve shows 45% gravel-carse sand, 35% medium-to-fine sand, 20% mud-kankar. The succession of the lower part is of craton- derived sediments. The Marginal alluvial Plain shows gravel-coarse sand-65% fine sand 10%, mud- kankar 25%.

Banka Sand Mining Project Mine Plan

The sand exposed in the River bed of Chandan, Badua, Odhni, Sukhniya & Cheer and surrounding areas is the product of the deposition of the sediments brought and deposited in the flood plains of River Ganga. These sediments are of recent geological formation. The litho-units exposed within the river and surrounding areas have formed as water borne sediments brought by flood water during rainy season every year and deposited in riverbed.

The litho units encountered in the riverbed and surrounding areas belongs to the Shivalik super groups. The size of the sediments towards the source i.e. host rock is course and at the tale end of the river the grain size is reduced to smaller sizes resulted in the formation of clay beds. The following sequences have been observed in the area, i.e. Top soil/ Alluvium followed by sand deposition (as shown in the figure below).

Top Soil/ Alluvium

Sand/Gravel Deposition

Sand and silt are deposited in the middle of the river whereas fine sand and soil are deposited at the fringe of the riverbanks.

Soil/ alluvium varying in thickness from 0.20m to 0.60m m constitute the top horizons in the area suitable for agriculture. River Ganga meanders through the area exposing the alluvium and soil at the banks. Sand is found in the river bed upto a depth of more than 3.0 m. The major part of bed remains dry as water flows in a single stream during the non-monsoon seasons. Only during rainy seasons the entire flood plain has water, when there will be no mining done.

Banka Sand Mining Project Mine Plan

The Ganga plain is an active area of sedimentation receiving a huge amount of sediments from the Himalaya & some from the Peninsular craton with low relief & limited height differences over long distances, the surface of Ganga Plain appears as a rater flat alluvial plain. The Riverine action deposited several meter thick sand layers in the riverbed. Slow shifting of rivers left behind several meter deep sand deposits, which was subsequently covered by alluvium consisting sand, silt and clay to form topsoil.

4.1.4. ORIGIN & CONTROL of MINERALIZATION (ANNUAL REPLENISHMENT OF MINERAL IN RIVER BED AREA/SEDIMENTATION) Sedimentation, in the geological sciences, is a process of deposition of a solid material from a state of suspension or solution in a fluid (usually air or water). Broadly defined it also includes deposits from glacial ice and those materials collected under the impetus of gravity alone, as in talus deposits, or accumulations of rock debris at the base of cliffs. The term is commonly used as a synonym for sedimentary petrology and sedimentology. Sedimentation is generally considered by geologists in terms of the textures, structures, and fossil content of the deposits lay down in different geographic and geomorphic environments. The factors which affects the “Computation of Sediment”: a) Geomorphology & Drainage Pattern: The following geomorphic units plays important role : • Structural Plain • Structural Hill • Structural Ridge • Denudation Ridge & Valley • Plain & Plateau of Gangetic plain • Highly Dissected pediment • Undissected pediment b) Distribution of Basin Area River wise c) Drainage System/Pattern of the area, Rainfall & Climate: Year wise Rainfall data for previous 10 years of Ganga Basin/River e) As per Dandy & Bolton study “Sediment Yield” can be related to i) Catchment Area and ii) Mean Annual Run-off Sand is an essential minor mineral used extensively across the country as a useful construction constituent and variety of other uses in sports, agriculture, glass making (a form of sand with high silica content) etc. It is common knowledge that minerals are non-renewable but this form

of mineral naturally gets replenished from time to time in a given river system and is very much interrelated to the hydrological cycle in a river basin. Sand mining has become a widely spread activity and does not require a huge set up or technology, the number of ventures has increased extensively and it has become a footloose industry in itself but the backward-forward linkages are becoming stronger as many are getting employed as well as the construction activity / industry requires this mineral at consistent rates. Andhra Pradesh on the hand is heading towards a lottery system1. Riverine environmental systems are unique in themselves and provide environmental services, natural resources to meet variety of needs of urban and rural communities. The Rivers originating from the Himalayas bring with them lots of aggregate materials whereas as they move downstream, only finer elements / minerals like sand are found in abundance. Dandy & Boltan formula for calculation of Sediment Yield: Dandy bolton formula is often used to check whether the sedimentation yield exceeds the replenishment rate but the whole question is whether there is adequate monitoring of the river basin, the answer is no as hydrological stations are sparsely spread. The formula uses catchment area and mean annual runoff as key determinants to give a yield value. It does not differentiate in basin wide smaller streams and their characteristics. CWC distinguishes river basins as classified and non- classified, as per the latest hydrological data for unclassified River basins; there are 122 GDSW (Gauge, Discharge, Sediment & Water Quality) sites in 12 such basins, the number was 147 in 2005. This brings in context the whole issue of scientific mining, thereby indicating that the monitoring of sediment yield in rivers / streams within the river basins is essential to arrive at extraction rates and express and conduct environmental studies based on these basin wide characteristics which should become part of the ‘Terms of Reference’. The quantum of replenishable amount for the purpose of EIA i.e. the wash load is obtained by using sediment yield calculation method i.e. “Dendy-Bolton Formula”: Factors Probable Replenishment River Chandan River Runoff 69.6 mm or 2.74 in Catchment area 21274.16 km2 or 8214 mi2 Average annual rainfall 696 (mm) or 27.40 inch Vegetation cover factor of the area 0.1

They may provide a quick rough approximation of mean sediment yields on a regional basis for preliminary watershed planning. Because Dandy & Bolton have derived the equation form average values computed sediment yields normally would be low for highly erosive area and high for well stabilized drainage basins with high plant density. Sediment yield of a sediment basin has direct impact of local terrain, climate, vegetation, soils, agricultural practices & land use pattern of catchment area of the sediment basin aforesaid factors varies from basin to basin therefore, Dandy & Bolton has category stated that use of the equation to predict sediment yield for a specific location would be unwise because of the wide variability caused by local factors not considered in the equation development. Actual sediment yield form individual drainage basins may vary 10-fold or even 100-fold from computed yields. 4.2 EXPLORATION Mining of sand is being done since long time therefore no specific method of exploration is required as the sand, deposited all along the bed and its paleochannels, which is very well exposed on the surface. The minerals excavated from the river bed will be replenished gradually during the monsoon season every year. And the area pertaining to palaeochannels of the river will be levelled & restored back. Adequate quantity of Sand in reserves is available for meeting consumer demand. 4.2.1 MINERAL RESERVES The Mineral reserves have been estimated as per the Indian Standard Procedures. The area of the mining lease is 284ha and the average thickness of the river bed minerals estimated as 3.0.

The land is State Govt. land & State Govt. has gien its consent for the exploitation of Sand on their expensive land. On the feasibility study, economic viability of deposit has been established sand in economic viable, therefore economic axis has been considered as E-1.

Feasibility Status (F-1): Feasibility study has been carried out & is considered to be feasibility status. A feasibility study provides a prelimenary assessment with a level of confidence as compared to that of feasibility study. It has been revealed that exploitation of sand is feasible & economic viable & feasibility axis under UNFC code has been considered as F-1:

Geological Axis: The exposure of sand is seen in the entire stretch & thickness of sand varies 2.5m to 3.0m. Therefore geological axis has been considered as G-1.

Geological Reserves

The geological reserves have been each stretches & for individual blocks. Geological reserves have been completed through cross sectional area method. The area of each section line is multiplied by strike influence to get the volume.

i) Proved Mineral Reserves (111): All quantities of sand occurring upto depth of 2m from surface has been considered as proved reserves. ii) Probable Mineral Reserves (122): "All quantities of sand occurring 1m below the proved reserves has been considered as Probable Mineral Reserves." iii) Feasibility Mineral Reserves (211): All the quantities of sand blocked in barrier ultimate pit limit under proved reserves has been considered as 211. iv) Prefeasibility Mineral Resource (222): Reserves blocked in barrier ultimate pit limit under probable mineral reserves has been considered as 222.

The geological section of each stretches is illustrated below: Stretch No. PLATE No. i 3B to 22B ii 23B to 28B iii 29B iv 30B v 31B to 34B Mineable Reserves:

Mineable reserves have been computed up to 2m depth from surface. Benches having height 1.0m & width 6.0m drawn from the ultimate pit limit in each block. Area of each benches have been calculated multiplied by strike influence to get the volume. The volume multiplied by bulk density to get the tonnage.

The minerals excavated from the river bed will be replenished gradually during the monsoon season every year. And the area pertaining to palaeochannels of the river will be levelled & restored back.

The summary of minable reserves of stretches is as below:

CHAPTER – 5

5.0 MINING Mining will be done as per the guidelines of Bihar Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2014. · This is an open-cast mining project. The operation will be semi-mechanized with use of excavators/JCBs etc. The sand will be collected in its existing form. · Sand Mining will be carried out only upto a depth of 2 m bgl or above ground water level (whichever is less), for river bed block. · No drilling /blasting are required as the material is loose in nature. · Proper benching of 1.0 m height and 6m width will be maintained for mining blocks as per guideline M.M.R-1961,under rule 106. · Mining will be done only during the day time and completely stopped during the monsoon season.

Restriction on mining: i) The quarrying of sand shall be prohibited within 300 (three hundred) metres on both sides of any railway bridge or any bridge falling under any National Highway/State Highway and shall be prohibited within 100 (one hundred) metres of both sides of any other bridge. However the prohibited zone in respect of any particular bridge may be extended by the State Government through a notification in this regard, if so required for reasons of safety. ii) No quarrying shall be permitted within 50 (fifty) metres of any public place i.e. cremation ghat or any religious place etc. iii) No quarrying shall be permitted within 5 (five) metres from both banks of the river. iv) The quarrying of sand shall be prohibited within 100 (one hundred) metres upstream and downstream from any dam/weir or any other structure erected for irrigation purpose. v) No quarrying shall be permitted within 46 (forty six) metres distance from Flood control embankments. The quarrying shall be restricted upto a depth of 1.80m within 46 (forty six) metres to 61 (sixty one) metres to 91 (ninety one) metres distance from the abovesaid embankments. vi) The irrigation outlet shall be maintained at the same level as that of the river bed and in no case the river bed level shall be permitted to be below the irrigation outlet level. No quarrying shall be permitted around the infiltration well/intake well up to a distance of 5 metres. vii) The extraction of sand shall be permitted only after obtaining a No Objection Certificate from the Water Resources Department in the case of rivers where from irrigation channels are out flowing.

viii) No quarrying of sand shall be permitted in any private land owned by a person other than the settlee unless the settle obtains the consent of the concerned land owner/raiyat. ix) No quarrying of sand shall be permitted in any area which the State Government notifies as a restricted area. 5.1 Mode of working:

Applied area has been allotted for a period of 5years in five stretches namely Chandan, Badua, Odhani, Sukhniya & Cheer. Applied Area consist of 284ha area in 32 blocks. Mining will be done in five stretches in each block leaving safety distance form bank and stream for river bed blocks and barrier zone of 7.5 m around the Applied Area. The sand is won from agriculture fields adopting mining and simultaneous reclamation method. The lessee (settlee) purchases/(pays compensation for the land), from the farmers for short periods. The sand shall be excavated by backhoe type excavators capacity & mineral is directly loaded into large trucks for dispatch to consumers situated in and around Banka town. Water is sprinkled in the area from where the sand is to be removed before the operation starts and thereafter at regular intervals to keep the dust allayed at the source itself. Removal of soil (overburden) precedes the winning of sand. Once a pre-determined area has been exhausted of the sand, it shall be replenished by sand during monsoon period levelled it & maintained its maximum original topography. There is no need for drilling & blasting as hard rock is not encountered in sand mining. Therefore Environment and Ecology of the area remains undisturbed. Light weight excavators/JCB will be deployed for extraction. Mining shall be carried through the formation of benches. Height & width of benches shall be kept 1.0m & 6m with face slope 400. Haul road having width 6.0 & gradient 1:12 shall be provided for the movement of machineries & transportation of sand. Mineral will be loaded in trucks of 25 tonne capacity. There will be no OB or waste generation as the sand is exposed in the river bed. Bench will advance parallel to the banks of the river. Height of bench will be 3.0 m. Workings will be restricted within the Applied 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, during rainy season. The bench will be in the form of slices/ strips parallel to the banks of the river. Roads in the Applied Area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes more than 1 in 20. However, movement of trucks after mineral loading will be towards both sides through approach roads connecting to tar roads. Every block will have its own approach roads, well connected to main highways. No processing of mineral will be done.

However, as the digging depth will be restricted to 2.0 m only. This will be further replenished during rainy season. Blocks will be worked systematically as the width is limited while length is much more. As the lease period is only 5 years, some of the area will be left un-worked at the end of lease period. (i) Final Slope Angle to Be Adopted: Height of the bench is limited to 1.0 m while width of individual bench shall be kept 6.0m. River bank side will be protected by working in 3/4th part of middle of the river. Bank side natural slope will not be disturbed. This will prevent collapse of bank and erosion. However, the height of the bank with respect to river bed is varying from 2-3 m only. (ii) During plan period workings will be carried out in the six stretches at a time of the Applied Area simultaneously. Scattered workings will ensure safety, remove congestion of vehicles and will have better control and management. (iii)Ultimate Capacity of Dumps: There will be no OB removal / during the plan period. Therefore no proposal has been envisaged for its separate dumping. No outside material will be filled up in the extracted zone.

CHAPTER –12

12.0 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

12.1 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

In this project small amount of top soil will be generated, which will be used for purposed of applied for applied area stacked and later spread in the excavated area of off river bed blocks. Small amount of domestic waste will be generated by the workers at the site, which will be disposed off through proper municipal way. No other waste generation is expected.

12.2 PLANTATION

The area of the proposed project lies in the river bed and in agriculture fields & devoid of any forest land.

Mining activities in River Bed blocks will not cause any harm to riparian or aquatic vegetation as mining will be only in the dry river bed portions of the river leaving safety distance from the bank. Hence it proposed to plant trees along the banks (wherever possible), along the road sides or near the civic amenities in consultation with village authority/local bodies.

In river bed mining cases plantation will be done along the barrier zone i.e. around the periphery of the Applied Area of 7.5m width. It is proposed to have plantation along the road sides on both sides to provide cover against dust dissemination and also to act as noise absorber. Plantation will also be carried out as social forestry programme in villages, school/ and the areas allocated by the village authority/local bodies.

Native plants like Mango, Neem, Eucalyptus, Peepal, Gulmohar, and other local species will selected in suitable combination, so that can grow fast and also have good leaf cover. It is proposed to plant 1,000 –1,500 no’s of native species every year.

Year Saplings to be Species Place of Plantation planted I 1500 Mango, Neem, Along the road sides, II 1500 Eucalyptus Peepal, banks and barrier zone III 1500 Shisham, Babool, IV 1500 Gulmohar, Arjuna V 1500 VI 1000 Social forestry programme VII 1000 in the nearby villages. VIII 1000 Total 10,500

12.3 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN 1. Top soil storage, preservation Thin quantities of top soil to be generated will be and utilization stacked separately, preserved and used for purposed of plantation therefore no proposal has been envisage for storage, preservation & utilization. 2. Waste dump management No waste is being generated during mining whatever material is collected is transported in its original shape. Hence no waste management is required. Small amount of domestic waste is expected, which will be disposed off in a proper way. No waste will be thrown into the streams or left on the banks. 3. Plantation programme Plantation will be done along both sides of roads and civic amenities in consultation with the local authorities. social forestry programme will also be conducted in the nearby villages 4. Quality of air 24 hourly samples twice a week for one month in each season except monsoon will be collected at the mine site and nearby villages and analyzed. 5. Noise Excavators used for mining & transportation vehicles used for dispatch of minerals are source of noise pollution at mine site. Hence periodical noise monitoring will be done. Ear muffs/protective equipments will also be provided for safety of the workers. 6. Quality and make of water including Mining will not have any impact on surface and surface and ground water ground water, however monitoring of parameters will be done once in each season. 7. Soil No major impact on soil due to mining operations is expected. Soil parameters will be monitored once in two years. 8. Topography & drainage Mined out area will be replenished every year during monsoon period in each stretches in each block in case of river bed blocks. Hence as such no topographical impact will be seen. A buffer zone will be left on either side of banks as safety measure. There is no stream crossing through the applied area, which would show impact on drainage pattern.

CHAPTER–13

CONCLUSION

The project involves collection of sand. This is very essential in order to prevent widening of the riverbeds and to prevent flooding off and damage to the adjoining areas. This can only be achieved by maintaining the existing course of the river. The sand extracted is in high demand in the local market which is used in making bridges, road & Building Material, etc.

This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society. It provides employment to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly by the project.

1.1. Reasons for Closure:

The “closure plan is a plan by which reinstate condition can be created, so that justification to the mother earth can be done” said by James E. Hansen. In the case of river bed mining, the excavated sand gets replenished during every monsoon and the area pertaining to palaeochannels of the river will be levelled & restored back to its original topography. More or less, the river bed maintains its previous form, such that the main stream of river remains unchanged.

Banka Sand Mining Project 3 Mine Plan

According to experience and rough estimation of the State Government whatever quantity of minor minerals is extracted from the said area during the year will be replenished every year by the River itself on account of its flow and velocity.

At present there is no foreseeable reason regarding closure of mine. The progressive mine closure plan is being submitted, under amended Rule 24 (7) of Bihar Minor Mineral Concession (Amendment) Rules 2014 1.3. Closure plan preparation: a).

2. Area proposed to be covered under plantation in next - five years (with in area) Total - 4.2 Water Quality Management: No ground water bodies exist with in the area & no seasonal Nalla exists with in the area the mined out shall be filled back with available top soil. The rain water accumulates in the pit & water percolates in to ground water. Further no significant impact on water quality is anticipated as material exposed will be Sand & its shall very feebly react with water that too when water becomes acidic. Even of reaction takes place it gives arise to increased temporary hardness of water. Water is being supplied from the Tubewell. 4.3. Air Quality Management: The mining shall be carried out manually with conventional hand tools with put adoption of drilling & blasting mining shall be carried out in shadow depth. No doubt the mining in this remote area will deteriorate the air quality. The base line values are too low due to remoteness of the area with our past experience. In this kind of terrain, the SPM, SO2 and NOX will always below 100, 10 & 10 microgram per meter cube respectively. Air quality monitoring shall be conducted once in a year as per CCOM'S circular No 3/92. 4.4. Waste management: No waste shall be generated due to mining activities. All quantities of sand to be generated shall be bold in the local market. Therefore no proposal of waste management has been envisaged.

4.5 Top Soil Management:

No soil shall be generated during plan period & no proposal has been envisaged for its separate stacking & this management.

4.6. Tailing Dam Management: No tailing dam is proposed in the soapstone mine.

Banka Sand Mining Project 9 Mine Plan

4.7. Infrastructure: No infrastructure facilities like aerial ropeway, conveyor belts, building & structure, water treatment plant, transport & water supply sources are present within the lease area. Therefore no utilization & their physical stability & maintenance will be required. Also no infrastructure facilities like telephone line, water pipe line, sewer line, gas pipe line, electrical cables, culvert, bridges are not existing within the lease area. So question does not arise for their restoration. The approach road passed within the lease area & lessee shall maintain it during PMCP period 4.8. Disposal of Mining Machinery: It will be opencast & mechanized mine. No disposal of mining machineries shall be envisaged during plan period. 4.9. Safety and Security: 1. Each worker shall be provided with helmets & safety shoes. 2. Safety belt shall be provided to workers an working the top benches. 3. Hanging of loose boulders shall be removed from mine faces. 4. The mining area shall be properly fenced to avoid any inadvertent entry in to mining pit. 5. Working hors shall be displaced at conspicuous places. 6. Mining shall be carried out thought the formation of benches maintaining overall pit slope 60deg. 4.10 Disaster Management and risk assessment:

The mining is proposed in a gentler agricultural field. The mining will go up to the economical depth of 2m therefore, no disaster management and risk assessment shall be observed. However during monsoon period the area shall be properly fenced with barbed wire to avoid any inadvertent entry of any live stock.

5.0. Economic repercussions of closure of mine and manpower retrenchments:

All the workers being employed are contractor labours.

An any industry will provide direct and indirect employment. The local residents will earn tremendous amount of money due to mining activities. It will change their life style. Due to closure of mine, it will create very negative impact on the economy of the workers for their survival. Those earning good money will get some occupation for survival of their families. The literate workers will move here and there for the search of job. In the overall view the closure of mine will give very bad impact on the society and surrounding areas.

5.1 Local residents of near by villages will be employed in the mine. The family occupation is most by farming. Few of them occupation carpentry & masonry.

5.2 The lessee pay each year about 5,000 to 10,000 as a compensation for the sustenance of the few workers family.

5.3 About 30% of the workers employed in mine are independent but they are controlled depended by their family members.

5.4 The local residents will be employed in the mining operations, and allied activities related to mining operations.

5.5 During mining operations the land owners & society of the area shall earn lucrative amount of money from direct & indirect activities. Individual land owners shall also earn good amount of money in terms of royalty. Most of them will spend money to establish other business also. After mining, the total land shall be backfilled & agricultural activities shall be recommended. No repercussion should be observed during the closure of mine.
