CONTENTSDISTRICT SURVEY REPO RT MINERAL RESOURCES DE PARTMENT YEAR-2016 DISTRICT KATNI City of marble IN COMPLIANCE OF MIN ISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT , FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE, NOTIFICATION DATED: 15.01.2016 Page 1 of 82 AcknowledgementCONTENTS Page 2 of 82 PREAMBLECONTENTS The Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India, made Environmental Clearance (EC) for mining of minerals mandatory through its Notification of 27th January, 1994 under the provisions of Environment Protection Act, 1986. Keeping in view the experience gained in environmental clearance process over a period of onedecade, the MoEFCC came out with Environmental Impact Notification, SO 1533 (E), dated 14 th September 2006. It has been made mandatory to obtain environmental clearance for different kinds of development projects as listed in Schedule-1 of the Notification. Further, In pursuance to the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court dated the 27th February, 2012 in I.A. No.12- 13 of 2011 in Special Leave Petition (C) No.19628-19629 of 2009, in the matter of Deepak Kumar etc. Vs. State of Haryana and Others etc., prior environmental clearance has now become mandatory for mining of minor minerals irrespective of the area of mining lease; And also in view of the Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, order dated the 13th January, 2015 in the matter regarding sand mining has directed for making a policy on environmental clearance for mining leases in cluster for minor Minerals, The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in consultation with State governments has prepared Guidelines on Sustainable Sand Mining detailing the provisions on environmental clearance for cluster, creation of District Environment Impact Assessment Authority and proper monitoring of minor mineral mining using information technology and information technology enabled services to track the mined out material from source to destination. The DEIAA and DEAC will scrutinize and recommend the prior environmental clearance of mining of minor minerals on the basis of District Survey Report. This will 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 replenishment of minerals and is based on data of various departments, published reports, journals and websites. The District Survey Report will form the basis for application for environmental clearance, preparation of reports and appraisal of projects. The Report will be updated once every five years. The main objective of the preparation of District Survey Report (as per the Sustainable Sand Mining Guideline) is to ensure the following - (i) Identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and (ii) Identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. (iii) Identification of mineral wealth in the district. Page 3 of 82 CONTENTS Pages 1. Introduction _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 2.

The district also has many industries out of which the most important are the mineral based industries and the pulses mills. All these have made good position of Katni in commerce and industry field. Page 5 of 82 District Katni : City of Marble 2. Overview of Mining Activity in the District Katni is also known as the city of lime, because it is rich in reserve of limestone. As minerals are found in large part of Katni so the industries of mineral based are growing rapidly. All these have made good position of Katni in commerce and industry field. The District of Katni is richly endowed with Mineral Wealth. The following minerals are found in various Tehsil of Katni. i. Mudwara: Lime stone, Dolomite, Bauxite, Laterite, Clay and Fireclay etc. are the main minerals found in Mudwara Tehsil. ii. Vijayraghogarh: Limestone, Dolomite, Fireclay, Sand, ochre and Laterite are the main minerals found in this Tehsil. iii. Bahoriband: Dolomite, Bauxite, Laterite, Fireclay, Red Ochre and marble are the main minerals found in this Tehsil. iv. Dheemarkheda : Limestone, Dolomite, Bauxite, Laterite, Fireclay, iron ore, Manganese, Soapstone, Quartz, Red Ochre and Sand are the main minerals found in this Tehsil. v. Rithi: Flag Stone. vi. Barhi: White Clay, Sand and Quarry stone. vii. Badwara: Lime Stone, Dolomite, Quartz, Soapstone, Laterite, Marble and Sand. The most potential mining zone is the northern part of the district running NE-SW. Limestone mining by mechanised and Other than fully mechanised mining is done in abundance. The annual capacity in this area from Jukehi to Jamuani kala along the south of Kymore hill range is presently around 6 million TPA. In the area are Bamangaon and Mehgaon mine of M/s ACC Ltd. Mining lease were granted to Sanghi Industries and others in Jamuani Kala, Jamuani Khurd, Padrehi, Durjanpur, Chari, Harraiya, Dhanwahi village etc for captive cement plant which are under process. Dolomite is associated mineral and found in pockets in few mines. Laterite is found as capping towards hill range in North West side of the district. BF and cement grade limestone is mostly found in the area with SMS grade too in few pockets. The limestone of the area is also a source for providing limestone for manufacture of industrial lime as well as lime for white washing in the country. The other potential area is around Katni for mining of mineral Bauxite, Laterite and Fireclay. The laterite is of cement grade while Bauxite is metal as well as refractory grade. The high silica bauxite is used in cement plant as well. Many refractories exist around Katni due to occurrence of Bauxite in the district. The bauxite, laterite and Fireclay mining is basically localized near Tikuri road side, Tikariya, Khajuri, Padwar and Chapra etc. In Badwara Tehsil and adjoining areas Dolomite suitable for Putty plant, White cement industry and steel grade is found. In recent times the area has flourished in mining due to many White cement
