EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed project is for mining of Minor Minerals (sand, boulder and bajri) in an area of 40.00 ha from the river bed of Yamuna Nadi Baya Kinara Dhaula Katch No.1, Timli range forest range, located near village- Kulhan Matak Majri, Tehsil- Vikasnagar, District-Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The project site comes in Timli Range under Dehradun Forest Division of, Dehradun. The river along its course brings huge quantity of material consisting of sand, boulder & bajri during every monsoon. This material has to be removed every year in order to channelize the river course to the middle and to prevent it from widening & thus causing cutting of nearby agriculture & forest land. Uttarakhand Forest Development Corporation (UKFDC) is a statutory body constituted by the Uttarakhand State Government, involved in collection and disposal of minor minerals from the rivers situated inside reserved forest areas. A combined joint inspection was carried out for estimating the total mineable area by a Joint Inspection Committee and an area of 32 ha was sanctioned for mining by Geology & Mining Unit vide letter no. 584/BHU. KHANI.I./2012-13 dated 19 th January, 2013. Copy enclosed as Annexure-I. As the mine lease area falls under reserved forest range for the same forest clearance is required, this is under process. Proposed project will also required NBWL clearance due to presence of Rajaji National park within 10 km radius of study area. Wild life clearance is under process. 1.1.
