EXECUTIVE SUMMARY M/S Alatge Stone Crushing Industries has got grant for Mining Lease vide Letter No. MMN/1098/42461/75102/Desk-4 dated 03/06/2000 over an area of 77.37 Ha in Karivane Village, Shriwardhan Taluka of Raigad District of Maharashtra State to mine the Bauxite. M/S Alatge Stone Crushing Industries the project proponent is a Partnership firm having registered office in Raigad District. The Karivane Deposit is located towards ESE of Shriwardhan town of Raigad District of Maharashtra State. The bauxite zone is usually occurs sandwiched between the overlying Laterite and underlying Basalt. Bauxite in the area occurs in the forms of small pockets, thin lenses and tabular bodies in the Laterite capping. The geological reserves established in the proposed Mining Lease Area is 5,65,242 tonnes and the extractable reserves of Bauxite are 5,35,904 tonnes. The area has been earlier explored on a Regional Scale by the Geological Survey of India and Directorate of Geology and Mining, Government of Maharashtra, Nagpur during the year 1970-71 and 1972-73, it is seen from the analysis results that Bauxite from the area is quite suitable for alumina and alumina metal. It is proposed to extract Bauxite with the annual production capacity of 1,15,000 tonnes/annum. The proposed method of mining is Opencast fully Mechanized mine with drilling and blasting. The Life of the Mine anticipated to be five years. However during proposed exploration the reserves are likely to increase and as subsequently life of the mine will be enhanced. Average depth of the Pits will be 8 to 10 Meters; hence two benches of 4 to 5 meters will be formed for safety factor. Bench will have a slope of 650angle. Access road will be developed to the Pit area. The Overburden is in the form of intercalated clay which is considered as 20 % of the Total ROM handling. The intercalated waste will be concurrently filled in the mined out area. 1 Pre Feasibility Report : Karivane Bauxite Mine Total Lease area is 77.37 Ha, of which 50.19 Ha areas is mineable during the Conceptual Period. And rest area is proposed under the safety barrier of Road, Electric line, nallas, Green Belts are approximately 25.43 Ha. The transport from mine head to the consumer is through hired tippers / trucks / by road. The minimum depth of water table is 25 m bgl. Maximum depth of the working is 10mts hence ground water will not be intercepted. There is no possibility for encountering any ground water source during the plan period thus no pumping is required. The Savitri river is flowing 1.5 Km at the South of the Lease area. The dendritic to sub dendritic drainage Pattern is commonly observed in the study area. The climate of the area is categorized as tropical monsoon. Typical coastal climate is experienced in the area . The monsoon prevails from June to September and the average Rainfall varies from 2500 to 3000 mm. The seasonal variation of temperature and moisture prevailing in the area is mainly responsible for the process of Bauxitization/Lateritization. The study area consisting of 77.37 Ha mining lease as core zone and 10 Km radius around core zone is identified as buffer zone. Bauxite produced from mine will be crushed and screened to give 0-100 mm size. After suitable blending the same will be sold. Man power requirement will be 110 Nos for Statutory Purposes, Supervisory requirement and also required for loading, hauling, drilling and blasting operations. The Environment Impact Assessment and Environment Management Plan for the proposed project shall be prepared as per the guidelines provided in the EIA Notification 2006. The power requirement will be met from MSEB grid. The quantity of water required for mining in this mine is 80 m3/day. Water will be purchased from nearby villages with prior consent & permission of the owner. There is no National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary, Archeological site, Historical places located within 10 Km from the proposed mine. The total project cost for the Karivane Bauxite Mining Project has been estimated at Rs. 3.9 Crores. 2 Pre Feasibility Report : Karivane Bauxite Mine 2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND FORMATION i) Identification of Project and Project Proponent The proposal under consideration is for Karivane Bauxite Mine 77.37 Ha situated in Private land at-Village: Karivane, Tahsil-_Shriwardhan, Dist: Raigad, Maharashtra for the production of 1,15,000 Tonnes /Annum of Bauxite ore. The proposed project is categorized as 'A' under EIA notification 2006. Address of Project Proponent is as under: M/S ALATGE STONE CRUSHING INDUSTRIES H. No. 148, Near Madasra, At-Arathi, Post &Taluka- Shriwardhan, Dist. Raigad. Maharashtra ii) Brief description of nature of the project The area falls under Raigad District of Maharashtra State at Karivane , Tahsil- Shriwardhan indicated as potential source of Bauxite ore Deposit. iii) Need for the project and it’s important to the country and or region. Maharashtra is one of the major producers of bauxite in the country. Bauxite is found at few places near the coast at village Moolvelas, Kurvade, Danda, Khujare, Saigaon, Harvit, udgaon, etc. of Tal. Shriwardhan, Dist. Raigad. The bauxite mined out will be consumed by Aluminum and Calcined alumina producing industries. iv) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project. The mine will directly employ about 110 workers. There will be employment generation of double this number in secondary and tertiary sectors. It is proposed to employ the local population wherever possible in the proposed project activities. 3 Pre Feasibility Report : Karivane Bauxite Mine 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION i) Type of project including interlinked and Interdependent project, if any. The proposed Karivane Bauxite Mine (77.37Ha.) will be developed by opencast fully mechanized mine (1,15,000 TPA). There is no interlinked project. ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout) with coordinates. Figure 1 gives the general and specific location of Karivane Bauxite Mine. The nearest railway station is at Mangaon which is at a distance of 86 Kms. The Lease area is located in jurisdiction of Village Karivane in District Raigad (Maharashtra). The area can be approached from district headquarters, Alibag to Wadkhal Naka which is 22 Km. From wadkhal Naka to Mumbai Goa National Highway up Mangaon and the distance is 44km. From Mangaon there is diversion towards Shriwardhan Tahsil which is 45 Km and connected by tar Road. iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental consideration gone into should be highlighted. Mining is a site specific and has to be undertaken at the place of the occurrence of the mineral and hence no alternative sites explored. iv) Size or magnitude of operation. The proposed mining Lease Area is 77.37 Ha with proposed production capacity of Bauxite Ore 1,15,000 TPA. 4 Pre Feasibility Report : Karivane Bauxite Mine Location of Mine Figure 1.
