INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT The proposed M/s. Building Lime Stone Mine of Shree Lakhamanbhai Ukabhai Chudasama Area at near Village- Indroi , Applied Area- 00.80.94 Ha.,S. No. 113/ paiki 1/ paiki 3, Proposed Production- 21,500 TPA , Taluka- Patan-Veraval, Dist. Gir-Somnath,(Gujarat) has been granted to Shree Lakhamanbhai Ukabhai Chudasama, resident of At. Indroi , Tal. Patan- Veraval, Dist. Gir-Somnath .. 2.1. Copy of Mining Lease/ Letter of Intent. A letter of intent has been issued in Favor of Shree Lakhamanbhai Ukabhai Chudasama, for extraction of Building Lime Stone, Near Village- Indroi , Taluka- Patan-Veraval, Dist. Gir-Somnath,(Gujarat)., For The Period of years Vide Letter no. …………………………………………………….. Dated-…………….. 2.2 Nature of the project: Mining of Building Limestone is proposed in the applied area 00.80.94 Ha. (Private. Near land), Village- Indroi, Tal. Patan- Veraval, Dist. Gir- Somnath,(Gujarat). Mining will be carried out by Semi-Mechanized Opencast Method. Proposed Production 21,500 TPA. The Building Limestone Area near Patan- Veraval is a hub for building limestone Extraction. There are various projects for production of limestone blocks in the mine. The building limestone industry is a thriving industry because of prolific use of limestone in building industry. The project is aimed at producing building limestone slabs from the applied area. TABLE 2.1 SHOWS THE ML AREA ALONG WITH ITS DIMENSIONS. SI No. Near Village Area 1. Indroi 00.80.94 Hectare. 2.3 Need For The Project and its importance to the country: Building Limestone is an important mineral for the building Construction. It is naturally available in sample quantities and thus is important for construction of buildings due to its toughness. It is being used as bricks. 2.4. Demand - Supply gap The demand of building stone depends on the level of development and the rate of growth of the economy. However, there is a persistent demand for this commodity. 2.5. Imports vs. Indigenous Production There is no Import of building Limestone. All production of building Stone is earmarked for the indigenous demand/ local market. 2.6. Export Possibility There is no proposal to export the production. 2.7. Domestic/Export Markets The limestone (Building) will be only for domestic market/local Suppliers. 2.8. Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) Due to the Project The proposed Chanchakvad Lime stone (Building) making activity is envisaged to improve the socio-economic condition on a micro-economic scale by generating local employment 7 direct and 3 indirect.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 3.1. Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. The limestone (Building) Area is a fresh application for environmental clearance and not interlinked or interdependent. 3.2. Location (Map Showing general location, Specific location, and Project site layout) with co-ordinates. The Buillding Lime Stone mine of Shree Lakhamanbhai Ukabhai Chudasama Area is located at near Village- Indroi, Tal. Patan- Veraval, Dist. Gir-Somnath, Gujarat.

BILUDING LIME STONE MINE OF LAKHAMANBHAI UKABHAI CHUDASAMA Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental consideration done into should be highlighted. The maximum rated capacity of the project will be 36,000 TPA productions and the area is spread over 00.80.94 Ha. The bricks formation is in form of 15”X 9” X 9”. 3.4. Project Description with process details The soil cover is firstly stacked with use of an hired JCB/excavator and piled for backfilling and plantation later on. The surface to be mined is scrapped to a level and 3-4 stone cutters are put into use. The standard saleable limestone block measures 15”x9”x9”. Depth is kept constant at 9 to 10 inches for a cutter and cuts are made by wet cutting. The blocks are carefully liberated manually thereafter and are ready for sale. 3.5. Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area o final products, mode of transport of raw material and finished product. No raw materials are required in preparation of final products. 3.6. Resource Optimization/ Recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any. NA. 3.7.

Existing Infrastructure Commensurate with the scale of mining operations, the Requisite support facilities are Proposed to be Provided, which are adequate to meet the functional requirement of the mine. In the next coming years it is proposed to construct and provide site services as mine office cum rest shelter, first aid box, toilet etc. The drinking water is made available through water tankers. 4.6. Soil / Rock Formation Around Morvi and Wankaner area Sandstone & Shale of Jura- Cretaceous to lower Eocene age. The Sandstone belongs to Sedimentary group of Rocks. It occupies most of the area of NE part of Rajkot district, in particular Wankaner. The Sandstone is pinkish white to violet in colour and Serves As a very good aquifer. The thickness Sandstone exceeds 400 mts at some places and has a medium to coarse grained texture. The Sandstones here are available in red, grey and black shades with occasional thin coal strings. The variation in colour reflects deposition from various geological provenances and hence variation in composition.
