INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT /PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1 IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT: This is a small scale open-cast manual mining project spread over an area of 1.00 hectare of non forest land near village Sargoth, Tehsil Nawa, District Nagaur of Rajasthan State. The project area falls in Survey of India GT Sheet no. 45 I/16 and located around latitude 27o 04’ 8.61’’ and longitude- 74o 52’ 30.98’’ 1.2 PROJECT PROPONENT Shri Gotam Sharma is the mining lessee having the mining lease granted which shall remain in force till 2035. The communication address/contact details are Shri Gautam Sharma S/o Shri Bihari Lal Sharma Shree Ram Marg, New Colony, Kuchaman City-341508 District – Nagaur Email: [email protected] Mobile 9352233444 1.3BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT 1. This is a small scale running open-cast manual mining project covering a total area of 1.00 hectares located in Nawa Tehsil of Nagaur district of Rajasthan 2. The project activity may be divided into three segments, namely A. Stripping of over burden B. Excavation of Bed Rock. C. Transport of mined mineral produce from mines site to nearby Consuming centers. D. Environmental Management A. Stripping of over burden: Currently out of 1.00 hectare project area only 0.50 hectare of area is subjected to rock excavation B. Excavation of Bed Rock and its Dressing C. Transport of Mineral: On day to day basis around 100Mt of mineral shall be loaded in to transport vehicles and shall be moved out of mining lease area to consumer centers. 3 Project: Masonary Stone Mine Owner: Shri Gotam Sharma 2. PROJECT BACKGROUND 2.1 THE PROJECT IS IN EXISTENCE The Project is in existence since 2005. It is a small scale open cast manual mining project currently producing around 2500 TPA of Masonary Stone 1. Rock Blasting: Low Usage of Explosives 2. The ground water is deep in the region and is in general below 70m or more in and around the project area. As such no disturbance to ground water regime of the project area is fore seen due to mining activity. 3. The active area under mining operations shall remain restricted to less than 1.00 hectare and mines road and other infrastructure shall not occupy more than 0.01 hectares 2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT The Mining lease is situated near village Sargoth in Nawa tehsil of Nagaur District of Rajasthan state. The proposed rate of production shall be 30,000 TPA of Masonary Stone by open cast manual mining method. The mining area is 1.00 hectare. Total mineable reserves within mining lease area are of the order of 452714 tones. as such the expected life of the mine shall be around 15 years. At the conceptual stage excavated pit will be converted in to a rain water collection pond, Un-worked area shall be ecologically restored and enhanced by plantation. Water requirement of the project for domestic use, dust suppression and plantation shall be 10 KLD 2 .3 NEED OF THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND REGION Construction material which is an essential commodity and locally required. 2.4 DEMAND AND SUPPLY GAP There are sufficient reserves of Masonary stone in around the project area which can meet the domestic demand. This is a local consumption based mining project and there shall be no demand and supply gap. 2.5 IMPORT V/S INDEGENOUS PRODUCTION No Import export of this commodity is feasible but for abundance of resources. 2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITIES. 4 Project: Masonary Stone Mine Owner: Shri Gotam Sharma There are no export possibility of this cheap commodity. 2.7 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT The managerial and supervisory staff exists in the project and further Employment is likely to be generated in due course which will preferably be employed from local inhabitants. Currently following staff is working in the project: Managerial and supervisory staff 2 Nos. Skilled and semiskilled and skilled workers 25 Nos. Indirect employment about 100 persons 3.
