It is also mentioned here that the procedure of preparation of District Survey Report is as per notification. Every efforts have been made to cover sand mining locations, areas & overview of mining activity in the district with all its relevant features pertaining to geology & mineral wealth in replenishable and non-replenishable areas of rivers, stream and other sand sources. This report will be a model and guiding document which is a compendium of available mineral resources , geographical set up, environmental and ecological set up of the district and is based on data of various departments , published reports , and websites. The data may vary due to flood, heavy rains and other natural calamities. Therefore, it is recommended that competent authority may take into consideration all its relevant aspects / data while scrutinizing and recommending the application for prior environmental clearance to the concerned authority/ project proponent.
