Lowest 93 3.3 Details of Alternate Site Considered and the Basis of Selecting the Proposed Site, Particularly the Environmental Considerations Gone Into should be Highlighted: Mining is site-specific project hence no alternate site is considered. 3.4 Size/Magnitude of Operation It is proposed to produce 87,300 Cum of River Sand from the River Bed area of 11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha.) by open cast semi - mechanized method of mining. 3.5 Project description with process details: The mining shall be done by opencast manual method. Mining will be done upto maximum depth of 2.35m only Loading will be done mechanically. The working period for mining will be six month., but it will be for 3 months because there will be no mining activity in the monsoon season.. The removal of sand in the applied lease area would be confined to day time i.e. 9 AM. to 5 PM. Proper benching of 2.35 m height with two sub benches of l.15m each will be maintained.7.5m Safety barrier zone will be left along the lease area. Tractor/dumper will be used for transportation to the end user. Mining will be done in alternate blocks for systematic development of the mine. No drilling/ blasting are required as the material is loose in nature. Roads will be properly made and sprayed by water for suppression of dust. Lessee– Shri Praveen Kumar Laibudva River Sand Project –11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha) Extraction activities will start in the blocks from the upstream side to downstream side. This will not obstruct the movement of water, if any, during monsoon period in the river course. Drilling- No drilling activity is involved in this project activity Blasting- No blasting activity is involved in this project activity Loading & Transportation- Loading & Transportation is done by JCB & trucks/ tractors Method of estimation of reserve The river Bed Mineral reserves have been estimated as per the Indian Standard Procedures. The area of the mining lease is 4.8481 ha and the average thickness of the river bed minerals estimated as 3.0 m Volume of RBM = Area of RBM x Maximum working depth of RBM = 48481 m2 x 3 m = 145443 m3 Production of River Sand Particular Production Period Production 87,300 m3 6 Months Lessee– Shri Praveen Kumar Laibudva River Sand Project –11.28 Acre (4.8481 ha) Flow Chart showing the Lease operation: Lease Excavation 3.6 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final products, mode of transport of raw material and finished product: No Raw material is required for production of mineral i.e.
