3.0 TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY
3.1 Topography: In this chapter the topography describes land surface features of
the region in relation to the elevation and other characteristics and in geology the
origin, history and structure of the rocks found in the region are elaborated in the
context of sand on regional and local area.
3.2 Geology: Declared sand mine area is geographically situated in the bed of
Mand nadi in a part of almost horizontally bedded Gondwana Supergroup and it is
situated above the Chhattisgarh basin. The Gondwana rock of Chhattisgarh mainly
occupy the Son-Mahanadi Basin. This area comprised of the Lower Gondwana
Group of rocks. The Gondwana formation is weathered and extensively occupied
by the alluvial soil cover ranging from almost 0.5 to 6 m. Sand is deposited
annually during the monsoon, which is mostly derived from the older rocks exposed
in southern parts of the area. Sand of the area doesn’t allow exploration and mining
by the conventional methods, owing to the unconsolidated nature of the sand
dominantly comprising fragments of quarts, feldspar. Therefore, the anticipated
reserves can only be classified in Recognized Resources Category.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
Regional geological succession established (GSI 2006) for the area is published
which is as given below with little modification applicable to the sand mine area
and surroundings (environ) under consideration.

The declared sand mine in situated at the Mand nadi bed, which originated
upstream in Sarguja District . The Mand nadi has medium catchment area spread in
over 20000 sq. Km2. Sand mine of Lipti is geologically located at the North
Eastern part of the Gondwana Supergroup. Palaeozoic to Mesozoic sedimentary
Gondwana bed , comprising cyclic depsotion of the sediments during different
periods
Sedimentary formation of the Gondwana Group is generally horizontally bedded,
but at places show westerly dips. Weathering and erosion of these rock formation
and litho units realize significant quality of the resistant minerals that may sustain
attain during travel through the streams depositing naturally sorted combination of
sand and bajari.
LOCAL GEOLOGY
The declared area for sand mine is situated in Mand River. The river bed comprised
of unconsolidated alluvial placer deposit of sand and bajari found along the river
bed of above 100m width.. The rock formations thrusting invasion of Mand nadi is
within the Barakar formation of the Gondwana Super Group. The formation around
the area are weathered and extensively occupied by the alluvial soil cover noggin
from almost 2 m. to 10 m.
Based on the geology consideration thickness of the almost horizontally deposited
sand along the Mand nadi river is likely to be over 6 m. The sand (0.1 to 2 mm)
deposit is mostly without any waste and overburden material and mostly common
unconsolidated angular to sub-angular and sub-rounded grains mainly of variety of
quarts, feldspar and rarely iron oxide minerals, mica silt (<0.6 mm) grains. Sorted
boulders (>25 cm.), Cobbles (6.4 cm to 25.6 cm.) pebbles (0.4 to 6.4 cm), gravels
(0.2 to 0.4 cm) from angular to sub rounded makes essential part of the alluvial
deposits, but at the surface generally sand and sorted bajari (gravels & pebbles) are
seen.
In this case the lease area falls in the river bed of Mand nadi which flows from
Raigarh. RL of the river bank is about 521 and inside the river it has RL of 518m.
The total catchment area of river Mand sub basin is about 20000 sq. km2.
2.0 Estimation of Reserve
2.1 Estimation of reserve:
Unlike other mineral deposits, sand deposits are not in-situ deposits. The
deposition of sand takes place every year during monsoon. The amount of sand
sediment deposition in a particular river stretch may vary year to year depending
upon a number of factors like rain fall in the catchment area, bed slope, amount of
sand excavated from that area etc. Also the thickness of the sand bed in a particular
stretch of a river is not of uniform thickness. So the methods of reserve estimation
generally used for estimation of other mineral deposit which are in situ deposits
can not be used to estimate the sand reserve.
Sand deposition in the area is not of uniform thickness, the thickness of the sand
bed varies from 2.5 m to 5.0 m. The water level in the proposed mining area goes
up to 4.0-5.0 m below the general sand level in the area during summer.
The reserve of sand in the proposed mine is estimated based on the following facts
and assumptions:
1. The lease area is 54050 m2. Average width of Mand nadi is 115m, Avg length of
lease area is about 980m, Avg width of lease area is about 55m.
2. Sand deposition in the area is not of uniform thickness, the thickness of the sand
bed varies from 2.5 m to 5.0 m. In most of the area it is more than 4.0 m. So, the
average thickness of sand bed is considered to be 4.0 m for reserve estimation.
3. Minable reserve is estimated after leaving a layer of 2.0 m along the river bed
Considering the above facts and assumptions,
The present sand reserve in the lease area 54050 X 4 = 216200 m3
Minable reserve (av. thickness 2.0m) 54050X2 = 108100 m3
2.2 Annual Replenishment of Sand in the Lease Area:
As per the Ministry and Environment and Forest OM No. J-13012/12/2013-IA-1I
(I) dated 24.12.2013, the annual replenishment of the sand in the lease area should
be sufficient to sustain the mining operation at level prescribed in the Mine plan.
The replenishment of sand depends mainly upon the catchment area of the river,
annual rainfall in the catchment area erosion of rocks in the catchment area etc. The
proposed area falls under the river bed of Mand nadi.
As stated earlier, the proposed area for sand mining falls under the river bed of river
Mand. It has a large catchment area. The average rain fall of the catchment area of
the river varies from 1200 to 1400 mm. All these factors indicate that the annual
sediments replenishment capacity of the Mand nadi is good enough to sustain the
proposed production.
2.3 Anticipated life of the mine:
As per the Chhattisgarh Minor Mineral Rules, 1996 and amendment made there
under for mining of sand dated 2.03.2006, the sand mines in the State are identified,
demarcated and notified by the District collector. There is no provision in the said
rules regarding grant of lease for a fixed period as in case of other mineral minerals.
As the quantity of sand that will be mined every year will get replenished every
year during monsoon, the sand reserve will not get depleted.
3.0 DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAMME
3.1 Development:
The mine is a very small mine and does not require much development work.
Only a ramp of mild gradient of 1 in 15to 20 will be constructed from approach
road at the river bank to approach the mine.
The excavation of sand will be strictly carried out as per the restrictions imposed
by Chhattisgarh Minor Mineral Rules 1996, Chhattisgarh Gond Khanij Ret Ka
Utkhanan and Vavsaya Viniyaman Nirdesh 2006 and the additional conditions
imposed by Govt. of Chhattisgarh vide Gazette notification dated 1.11.2013 and
as the Ministry and Environment and Forest OM No. J-13012/12/2013-IA-1I (I)
dated 24.12.2013.
The Government of Chhattisgarh has imposed the following restrictions on river
bed sand mining vide Gazette notification dated 1.11.2013:
1. Mining shall not be carried out within 100 m of any bridge/ National
Highway/ State highway.
2. Mining shall not be carried out within 50 m of any natural water recourse,
dam etc
3. Mining shall not be carried out within 3.0 from the banks of the river
4. Mining shall be carried out up to maximum 3.0 m depth or bed rock in the
river
The Ministry and Environment and Forest OM No. J-13012/12/2013-IA-1I (I)
dated 24.12.2013 imposed the following restrictions on river bed mining.
1. The mining activity shall be done manually.
2. The depth of mining shall be restricted to 3m/water level, whichever is less.
3. For carrying out mining in proximity to any bridge and/or embankment,
appropriate safety zone shall be worked out on case to case basis to the
satisfaction of SEAC/SEIAA, taking into account the structural parameters,
locational aspects, flow rate etc., and no mining shall be carried out in the
safety zone so worked out.
4. No in stream mining shall be allowed
5. In case of transportation by road, the transport vehicles will be covered with
taurpoline to minimize dust/sand particle emissions.
5.2 Production Programme:
Sand deposition in the area is not of uniform thickness, the thickness of the
sand bed varies from 2.5 m to 5.0 m. The water level in the proposed mining
area goes up to 4.0 m below the general sand level in the area during summer.
It is proposed to skimmed the sand leaving a 2.0 m thick layer on river bed.
To protect the in stream micro and macro flora, excavation will be restricted
above water level which will not affect the turbidity of the water. In order to
protect the natural permeability and porosity of the filter material due to
compaction of filter zone of river bed, no heavy vehicles and machine will be
used.
Skimming will be done manually in layers of 0.5 to 1.0 m. The loading of
the sand will be done manually on tippers/ tractors. A ramp will be
constructed and will be maintained to connect the approach road to the
mining area.

5.3 Transportation Infrastructure:
The sand is generally transported by the consumer in their own tractors,
tippers/dumpers. The capacity of the dumpers generally used is 10 m3. The
mining of sand is mostly carried out in 8 months from November to June. The
mining will be carried out only during the day time i. e. from 8 am to 6.0 pm.
The estimation of average requirement of dumper trips per day and per hour is
given below:
Details
Sand Production/year 1,00,000 m3
No of working days in a year 8X30 240 days
Av. Sand Production/day 1,00,000/240 416 m3
Carrying capacity of dumper 10 m3
Av number of trips
required/day
416/10 41.6
No of working hours/ day 10 hrs
Average no of trips/hour 41.6/10 4.16
The mine is well connected to all weather from village Lipti via a kachacha
approach road about 2 km long. The approach road is connected to the mine
through a ramp of gradient 1-15 to 18. It is also proposed to construct a road
along the river to approach the mine from downstream side by constructing a
road along the river bank. The carrying capacity of the road is sufficient to take
this insignificant traffic of tippers. Also the requirement of dumpers for
transportation of sand is too less only average 4.16 trips/hour, there will be no
queuing of dumpers and no large parking space will be required.
5.4 Man Power Deployment:
The average daily employment is tabulated below:
1 Supervisor Skilled 02
2 Loaders Unskilled 42 (considering an OMS of 10
m3)
Total 44
5.5 Use of Mineral:
Sand is a very important mineral for our society due to its many uses. It can be
used for making concrete, filling roads, building sites, brick-making, making
glass, sandpapers, etc. The sand mined from the mine will be mainly used in
construction industry as a fine aggregate.
4.0 RECLAMATION PLAN
The proposed mine is of river bed sand mining and only involves scrapping of
thin layers of sand from the river bed. No pits are proposed to be dug that need
backfilling. Also there will no change in the post mining land pattern. Plantation is
not possible within the lease area as the mine is in the river bed. However, It is
proposed to do some plantation of local species of trees along the approach road
and along the river banks where ever possible.
5.0 STRATEGY FOR PROTECTION OF RIVER COURSE, NALAS,
WATER TANK, VILLAGES, IMPORTATNT MONUMENTS IF ANY
The sand mining is proposed in the river bed of Mand nadi. There is no Nalla, water
tank, village, important monuments in the close vicinity of the mine which may get
affected due to mining activity.
The river bed sand mining can cause the following environmental hazards:
Instream habitat:
The impact of mining may result in increase in river gradient, suspended load,
sediment transport, sediment deposition, turbidity, change in temperature, etc.
Excessive sediment deposition for replenishment/ refilling of the pits affect
turbidity, prevent the penetration of the light required for photo synthesis of micro
and macro flora which in turn reduces food availability for aquatic fauna. Increase
in river gradient may cause excessive erosion causing adverse effect on the in
stream habitats.
Riparian habitat:
This includes vegetative cover on and adjacent to the river banks, which controls
erosion, provide nutrient inputs into the stream and prevents intrusion of pollutant
in the stream through runoff. Bank erosion and change of morphology of the river
can destroy the riparian vegetative cover.
Degradation of Land:
Mining pits are responsible for river channel shifting as well as degradation of land,
causing loss of properties and degradation of landscape.
Lowering of groundwater table in the floodplain area:
Mining may cause lowering of riverbed level as well as river water level resulting
in lowering of groundwater table due to excessive extraction and draining out of
groundwater from the adjacent areas. This may cause shortage of water for the
vegetation and human settlements in the vicinity.
Depletion of groundwater:
Excessive pumping out of groundwater during sand mining especially in abandoned
channels generally result in depletion of groundwater resources causing severe
scarcity and affecting irrigation and potable water availability. In extreme cases it
may also result in creation of ground fissures and land subsidence in adjacent areas.
Polluting groundwater:
In case the river is recharging the groundwater, excessive mining will reduce the
thickness of the natural filter materials (sediments), infiltration through which the
ground water is recharged. The pollutants due to mining, such as washing of mining
materials, wastes disposal, diesel and vehicular oil lubricants and other human
activities may pollute the ground water.
Choking of filter materials for ingress of ground water from river:
Dumping of final material, compaction of filter zone due to movement heavy
machineries and vehicles for mining purposes may reduce the permeability and
porosity of the filter material through which the groundwater is recharging, thus
resulting in steady decrease of ground water resources.
The following measures shall be taken to mitigate the adverse impact of mining on
the river:
1. River bed sand mining may erode river banks, which may affect the riparian
flora and fauna. To prevent the bank erosion, it is proposed to leave a safety
zone of 10.0 m along the river bank.
2. To control the excessive excavation of sand and bed digging loading shall be
done manually.
3. Mining shall be always carried out above the water level and shall be
restricted to maximum 3.0 m depth.
4. In stream mining shall not be carried out.
5. Washing of mining materials and vehicles disposal of waste, and other
human activity which may pollute the water shall not be allowed. Also
spillage of diesel and vehicular oil lubricants may pollute the water and hence
parking and washing of the vehicles shall not be allowed.
6. Due precautions shall be taken to maintain the channel slope so that
upstream erosion as a result of an increase in channel slope and changes in
flow velocity will not take place.
7. Sand will be transported in tarpaulin covered vehicle to avoid emission of
dust during transportation.
8. Water spraying shall be done in the access road for suppression of dust
during summer.
9. Plantation is not possible in the river bed; however local species of plants
shall be planted along river bank and along the approach road.
10. Boundary pillars shall be clearly demarcated, and mining shall be strictly
carried out within the lease area.
11. Mining and transportation of sand shall be carried out only during the day
time.
