Sub :- To issue the Environmental clearance Certificate for minor mineral quarry lease of "Ordinary Sand" mining project as per the EIA Notification of 14-Sep.-2006. Sir, I, the applicant Satishbhai Naginbhai Modi has been applied for a lease of minor mineral “Ordinary Sand” to the Collector, Chhota Udaipur (Gujarat) on Govt., Sr. No. 100 of Vill : Patana, Ta : Bodeli, Dist. Chhota Udaipur, Gujarat for the lease area of 03-80-12 Ha. According to the direction of Honourable Supreme Court of India, MoEF’s OM dt. 18th May 2012 and latest amendment of the EIA Notification on 9th September 2013, environmental clearance is required to be obtained for our mining project. You are well aware that the last term of the S.E.A.C. and S.E.I.A.A. for Gujarat State is already expired in July, 2013 and presently there is no S.E.A.C. and S.E.I.A.A. for Gujarat State. Kindly note that in absence of S.E.A.C. and S.E.I.A.A. for the Gujarat State, previous secretariat of S.E.A.C. 3 and S.E.I.A.A. located at Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) has stopped accepting all kind of environmental clearance applications. Para 4 (iii) of the EIA Notification, 2006, states that “In the absence of a duly constituted SEIAA or SEAC, a Category ‘B’ project shall be considered at the Central Level as a Category ‘B’ project”. In view of this provision, though our project falls under B category project, we are required to submit our application at the central level Expert Appraisal Committee for consideration. It may be noted that the District Collectorate is neither granting new lease nor renewing the existing lease for want of environmental clearance. Due to this, we are unable to continue mining operations and losing our only source of income and livelihood. In consideration of above, we humbly request you to accept our application to accord environmental clearance at the earliest. Annexures :- (A) Form No. 1. (B) Pre-feasibility Report.
