CHAPTER—1INTRODUCTIONMining is a major contributor (2’nd) to the national GDP (4%) occupying about 0.11% oftotal land area (329 m ha) and providing employment generation to 1.1 million people(4 %) of the country (Saviour, M.N)Mining is essentially a destructive development activity where ecology suffers at the altar ofeconomy. Scientific mining operations accompanied by ecological restoration andregeneration of mined wastelands and judicious use of geological resources, with searchfor eco-friendly substitutes and alternatives must provide sensational revelation to theimpact of mining on human ecosystem.Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock andmineral particles. River sand has the ability to replenish itself. The composition of sand ishighly variable, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most commonconstituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastal settings is silica(silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz which because of its chemicalinertness and considerable hardness, is the most common mineral resistant to weathering.Mining of Sand is the process of removal of sand and gravel. This practice is nowbecoming an environmental issue as the demand for sand increases in industry andconstruction. The role of sand is very vital with regards to the protection of the coastalenvironment.Although Sand is required for development of Human being, but at the same time thedamages due to sand mining can’t be ignored. Hence an environment friendly mining isnecessary to collect the sand from the river beds, without disturbing the environment.Government of Uttar Pradesh through G.O. No. 715/86-2017 (l)/2017 Dated 22.04.2017had made provision of short term permit for the mining of river Morrumas per the District

Survey Report of Mineral Availability in river bed/ river bank in districts of UttarPradesh and invited tenders through E- Tendering under the provisions of U.PMinor Mineral (Concession) Rules 1963. Accordingly E Tenders have been invited in theMorrum bearing districts and highest bidders have been issued Letter of Intent as per G.O.aforementioned.Prior Environmental Clearance before the mining of mineral is to be obtained from

Mine Plan

DEIAA/DEAC as per the notification of MoEF & CC, Govt. of India dated 14.09.2006 andsubsequent amendments dated 15th January 2016. Mining Plan is necessary to excavatethe mineral in a planned manner and to obtain the Environment Clearance.As per Ministry and Environment Forest climate change (MOEF Govt. of India), the monsoonperiod has been considered for three months and no mining & allied activities shall be carriedout during monsoon period. The mining activity shall be recommenced during post monsoonperiod. Mining Plan with Progressive Mine Closure Plan is being submitted per UP MinorMineral Concession Rule 34(2) & Under Amended Rule 34 (6) & (7) of UP Minor Mineral(Concession) Rule 1963).This proposal is being prepared for an area of about 10 Acre in Yamuna river Zone 16/17,

3.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY

CHAPTER—3

The lease area has gentle slope towards north and north east. Highest point is at 78mRL in the East corner of the area where as lowest point 76 m RL is in the Westcorner of the area. The physiographic features are shown in Surface GeologicalPlan as Plate No. 4.

3.2 REGIONAL GEOLOGYThe project area is a part of Vindhyan range and Indogangetic Alluvial plaincharacterized by Quaternary alluvium and quartzites and sandstones exposures. TheMineral of this area is of upper part of Kaimur plateau. The geology of the area belongsto Vindhayan Super Group. Geologically the area comprises of upper vindhyanformations consisting of sandstone, quartzite and shale. Vindhyan formation is overlainby quarternary alluvium, which was deposited on the eroded basement. Uppervindhyayan formation represented by kaimur series are divided into two groups theupper and lower. The lower kaimur consists of quartzite and silicified shales at the basefollowed by susnai conglomerates. The top of lower Kaimur is characterized by thickshales belonging to Vijaigarh shales. The upper kaimur are represented by brown to red,fine grained sandstone followed by white dhandraul quartzite.

CHAPTER—44.0 MINING

4.1 MINING (PAST) It is fresh grant case of mining lease & at present no mining activitiesare progress in the lease area.Mining shall be carried out manually and drilling & blasting not required. The sand shallbe exploited manually with spade and other hand tools etc. The sand will be loadedmanually and with the help of semi-mechanised way into tippers/tractor trolleys &dispatched to various parties.The lease area has gentle slope towards north and north east. Highest point is at 78mRL in the N corner of the area where as lowest point 76 m RL is in the Northcorner of the area. The physiographic features are shown in Surface Geological Planas Plate No. 4. Mining activities shall be suspended during monsoon period. Miningoperation shall be recommenced after post monsoon period4.2 PROPOSED METHOD OF MININGThe guidelines of the Ministry of Environment and Forests as also of the GeologicalSurvey of India will be followed, the most important is as under: Dry pit mining will be followed which means mining at all times will beabove the flowing river water level. Mining activity will be immediatelystopped when water comes in the mining pits. Morrum will be collected in slices of 1.0 m thickness upto a depth of 3m orriver water level whichever is less than prescribed 3m depth, maximum depth asper model guidelines of Geological Survey of India and Ministry of Environment &Forest. Stream will not be diverted to form inactive channel. Mining at the concave side of the river channel will be avoided to prevent bankerosion. Mining will be restricted minimum 7.5 m away (inward) from river bank tominimize effect of river bank erosion and to avoid consequent channel migration.Plantation will be done on such area to isolate mining operation from the rest ofthe area. Area of mining lease will be demarcated prior to mining for sustainabledevelopment and Pucca Pillars will be erected on ground. No mining operations shall be carried out in proximity of any bridge and orembankment as per prevailing rules.

Page 13 of 18

CHAPTER—88.0 USE OF MINERALSand/Morrum has become a very important mineral for the expansion of society. Sand isa naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineralparticles. River sand is one of the world’s most plentiful resources (perhaps as much as20% of the Earth’s crust is sand) and has the ability to replenish itself. River sand is vitalfor human well being & for sustenance of rivers.Mineral excavated from mine is directly sold to market. Material is used in constructionindustry, infrastructure, making concrete, filling roads, building sites, brick making,reclamation etc.9.0 M I N E R A L BENEFICIATION

CHAPTER—9

There is no need of mineral beneficiation in river bed Morrum that is why no mineralbeneficiation is involved within the lease area. The mined out mineral Morrum isdirectly saleable to industries, construction agencies and private individuals as perrequirementa) If processing / beneficiation of the ore or minerals mined is planned to be

conducted on site or adjacent to the extraction area, briefly describe the

nature of the processing/ beneficiation. This should indicate size and grade of

feed material and concentrate (finished marketable product),The entire area consists of sand & it is ready to market therefore, no beneficiation ofmineral processing will required.b) Explain the disposal method for tailing or waste from the processing plant

(quantity and quality of tailings proposed to be discharged, size and capacity

of tailing pond, toxic effect of such tailing, if any, with process adopted to

neutralize any such effect before their disposal and dealing of excess water

from the tailing dam)As stated above that no beneficiation is required therefore no tailing or wastedisposal from processing plant will be undertaken.

Mine Plan

Page 14 of 18

c) A flow sheet or schematic diagram of the processing procedure should be

attached.No beneficiation studies will be carried out therefore no flow sheet of processingprocess is attached.d) Specify quantity and type of chemicals to be used in the processing plant.No chemicals will required.e) Specify quantity and type of chemicals to be stored on site / plant.No chemical will be stored on the site / plant.f) Indicate quantity (cu.m.per day) of water required for mining and processing

and sources of supply or water. Disposal of water and extent of recycling:No water is required for mining and processing hence no disposal of water andextent for recycling is requiredCHAPTER—10

10.0 TRANSPORTTrucks, Dumpers, Tipper and Tractor trolleys are usually used to transport the materialaway from mine. Each truck (20 ton capacity or as regulated by authorities by time totime) per day will be engaged to perform the task if mining continued up to six monthperiod considering 150 working days as per provisions. Required numbers of hiredtrucks from registered transporters will perform the task. Overloading of mineral willnot be done at any case.

Sl. No. Impacts Mitigation

1 Land use /Land cover

Change in topography due to mining is always anegative impact leaving ugly pits.

This river bed extraction project does not have any suchtype of impacts. River sand collected will bereplenished during the coming rainy season.

2 Flora andFauna

As stated earlier the core zone of activity is barren. Anykind of vegetation is not seen on the activity area.Therefore no effect on floral community is anticipated.

Mining or Collection of sand is being proposed in a smallpiece of land. No major impact is being anticipated incore zone.3 Air

PollutionDuring the collection of river sand dust particle will begenerated. Air pollution will also increase due toincreased vehicular activity.

Water sprinkling will be done at dust generatingplaces. Masks will be provided to workers at work place.Mineral will be transported in the tarpaulin coveredtrucks/vehicles.4 Noise

PollutionIncreased vehicular traffic is the main source ofNoise Pollution. There will be no blasting activity.Collection of sand will be done only day hours. Earmuffswill be provided to workers of loading points.

5 Rehabilitation andResettlement

The activity zone is very small. No migration will takesplace. Therefore, there is no R & R Plan.

CHAPTER—13

13.0 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLANFollowing possible impacts a n d t h e i r m i t i g a t i o n are described below:

CHAPTER—1414.0 CONCLUSIONThis mining area is small and in the close to the vicinity of river. Infact river Morrum willbe collected from the River Bed (Flood Plain). Mostly local peoples are employed in thisactivity. There will be no adverse affect of this activity on the river flow. Instead excavationof river sand is necessary to avoid flooding in monsoon in nearby areas.Sand has become a very important mineral for the expansion of society. Sand is anaturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineralparticles. River sand is one of the world’s most plentiful resources (perhaps as much as20% of the Earth’s crust is sand) and has the ability to replenish itself. River sand is vital forhuman well being & for sustenance of rivers.Besides to generate a number of direct employments, indirect employment will alsogenerated in this area by this activity. This is also a source to generate revenue to theGovernment.It can be concluded from the above facts that the mining/collection of sand from this areawill not have any adverse impacts but would help in improving the socioeconomiccondition of the surround villages. Hence this mining plan may kindly be

approved at earliest.
