The proposed ordinary sand excavation does not involve any blasting or rock mining. Mechanized method is used for excavation of ordinary sand and excavation will be carried out using excavators and transportation of material using 5 tippers. The quantity of sand excavated will be 16,968MT. There is no environmental hazard involved in this process. The ordinary sand excavated (the minor mineral) from proposed site will be used for the filling up of- the low-lying dweller grounds, the building foundation, and basement stemming works. Need for the project and its importance to the country or region The basic objective of the project is to construct a naturally ventilated green house and poly house purely for the state/village agriculture promotion. Excavated ordinary sand will be used for sand filling for construction works and for ground filling of nearby dwelling areas. Demand and supply gap There is a large demand of ordinary sand for sand filling for constructions, other infrastructure development and will be used for sand filling for Excavated ordinary sand will be used for sand filling for construction works and for ground filling of nearby dwelling areas. Imports vs indigenous production There will not be any import of material for this proposed project. And no indigenous materials will be produced/excavated during this mining activity. Export possibility There will not be any export of material since this is low category minor mineral- ordinary sand excavation project and the project proponent would like to utilise the material for sand filling for construction works and for ground filling of nearby dwelling areas only. 6 Domestic/export market There is a large demand of ordinary sand for sand filling for constructions, road formation and other infrastructure development. Excavated ordinary sand will be used only for sand filling for construction works and for ground filling of nearby dwelling areas. Employment generation (direct and indirect) In this proposed excavation project, 8-10 people will have direct employment and around 10 -16 will have indirect employment. 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Types of project including interlinked and interdependent project This is an ordinary sand excavation project. Excavated ordinary sand will be used for sand filling for building constructions, dwelling ground filling and levelling activities nearby region. This project is not interlinked with any other projects.

Mechanized method is used for excavation of ordinary sand and excavation will be carried out using excavators and transportation of material using tippers. The quantity of sand excavated will be 16,968MT. Excavated ordinary sand will be used for sand filling for construction works and for ground filling of nearby dwelling areas. The process flow diagram of the excavation process is given below: - Excavation of Loading of Transporting of ordinary sand excavated ordinary ordinary sand using hydraulic sand to tippers to destination excavator using hydraulic using tippers excavator Raw materials required along estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final products, mode of transport of raw materials and finished products No processing is needed for this proposed project and so, no raw materials are required for the proposed ordinary sand excavation project. Resources optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined. No recycling or reuse envisaged in the proposed sand excavation project. 8 Availability of water, its source, energy/power requirements and source should be given In the proposed sand excavation project approximate 1 KLD water will be required to meet domestic purposes& dust suppression and the same will be sourced from outside through tankers. No electricity is used for the proposed project. Only diesel operated machineries are used for the excavation purposes.
