4.6 Soil Classification

Major Soil Type of district - Loam, Clay loam, pebbly & stony and sandy loam

The soils of Bikaner district are predominantly light textured, weak –

structured but well – drained. The arid climate with low rainfall, high

temperature and high evaporation losses have resulted in physical and

mechanical disintegration of the parent material giving rise to predominance

of coarse fraction in the soil. Very little chemical weathering has been taking

place and the development of soil is mostly indistinct. Soils are generally of

desertic type with poor fertility status and very low water retention capacity.

4.7 CLIMATIC DATA FROM SECONDARY SOURCES

Lying in the Western Desert region of the state of Rajasthan , the climate of

Bikaner is not different from the other cities of the same region. Bikaner's

climate is typical to the Thar Desert area with extreme temperatures.

During the summer, the temperature in Bikaner rises very often above 48°

Centigrade. The extreme heat becomes unbearable but humidity is not so

high. Winter in Bikaner witnesses a drastic change when temperature comes

down to 4 to 5 degree. Any normal summer day in Bikaner is very hot but the

evening is quite cold. The period from October to February is the pleasant

most seasons in Bikaner. A report of a normal autumn day of the city will

give an idea of the weather in Bikaner.

9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

Project will create direct & indirect employment opportunities within the

surrounding region. Unit will use good faith efforts to employ local people

from the nearby villages depending upon the availability of skilled & un-

skilled man-power surrounding the project site.

In operation phase, the proposed project would require significant workforce

of non-technical and technical persons. Migration of highly education and

skilled experience will result in increase of literacy in the surrounding

villages.

In addition, the proposed expansion of project shall enhance the prospects

of employment.

Assessment of the potential socioeconomic benefits during mining

focused primarily on work force requirements, acquisition of supplies,

and the temporary increased demand for services related to the mining

project like food, housing, communications, law enforcement, medical care,

local transportation etc. Due to these, additional revenue to local suppliers

for required products and services related to the construction and operation

phases of the project will generate.

Thus, mining activities will provide numerous new, although temporary,

work opportunities for both skilled and unskilled labor, as well as

contribute significantly to the local economy.

Additional government revenue expected from royalty, taxes, duties and

other fees.

An added benefit to the proposed project will result in considerable growth of

stimulating the industrial and commercial activities in the state. Small

and medium scale industries may be further developed as a consequence.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT

No water reservoir located in the lease area. If rain water will accumulate in the working, which will

be dewatered by centrifugal pump of 20 H.P. The dewatering is proposed through a sump made in

the bottom of the pit to check the silt, which spread in the nearby area. The proposed deepest

working is above the ground water table thus quality of water will not decrease by proposed mining.

Water table in the area is sufficiently below 35 m the ground surface. No toxic mineral is present,

which pollute the quality of ground water. No tailing pond is proposed, which pollute the quality of

ground water. The mined out area will be converted into a small water reservoir which will support

to recharge the ground water level of the area, which shall be useful as to the society during post

mining scenario.

Domestic waste water will be generated from office toilet only. Generated domestic waste water will

be disposed through septic tank followed by soak pit.

AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT:

Water sprinklers are proposed on haul road and at work place for dust suppression. Dust mask will

be provided to the operator & mine workers.

The source of air pollution is vehicular movement but the transportation will be towards the lower

side hence the impact is not very much significant. Vehicular emission will be controlled and

regularly monitored. Loading is also creating air pollution. Water spraying is proposed over the

material before loading and transportation. Covered trucks will be used in transportation. Green belt

will be developed to arrest dust pollution. The existing mining is manual and no processing/

grinding unit is proposed in the applied area, hence the air pollution will remain in permissible limit.

For drilling wet drilling method will be used to control fugitive dust at source. Blasting will be done

by covering blast holes with cement bags filled with sand so that chances of fly rocks will be

minimized. Green belt development will be done to arrest dust pollution.

NOISE MANAGEMENT

The existing mining will be done by opencast method but some amount of noise will be generated

due to operation of Dumper, and driller which will be deployed on hire basis for removal of

overburden and due to vehicular movement. Transportation vehicles will be properly maintained and

provided with good silencers. Precaution and regular maintenance of Dumper, tipper & Dumper

replacement of damaged/ worn out parts when ever required will be taken. Ear plugs will be

provided to operator and mine workers. Trees will be planted which will attenuate the noise levels.

Trees will be planted along the barrier of 7.5 m along the boundary of mine lease area which will act

as a buffer for noise. The greenbelt with species of rich canopy will further attenuate the noise

levels. The main source of noise generation in drilling machine is compressor. Compressor will be

fitted with an acoustic enclosure.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT:

Stacking the Rejects

The rejects generated while sorting out the mineral produced will be stack temporarily at the sites.

These rejects are will be used as backfilling..

Green Belt Development:

Total 1585 trees will be planted along the barrier of 7.5 m along the boundary of mine lease &

Outside the lease area which will cover 1.585 Hectare land i.e. 33 % of the total lease area for

plantation. All safeguards for growing trees will be taken care and if any lost would be replaced.

Mining pit area will act as a water reservoir, which will improve aquatic avifaunal diversity of the

study area.

Reclamation Plan:

At the end of life of mine, 1.08 Ha area of excavated area will be left over for water reservoir which

would have a positive impact by recharging the ground water table. At the end of life of mine the waste

available in the applied lease area shall be spread all around the water reservoir. This shall strengthen

the banks of the water reservoir and shall be used for plantation after spreading top soil over it.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT:

The mining activity will have positive impact due to direct and indirect employment and

development of ancillary industries. No displacement due to the existing mining project. Approx. 18

workers will have employment opportunities along with periodical training to generate local skills.

be medically examined in pre- placement phase and also periodically. First Aid Personnel with

First aid kit will be available at the mine site to provide first aid to injured person.

Arrangement for transportation of persons to nearby medical facilities will be made. Potable

water facility will be provided to mine workers. Personal protective equipments (earmuffs/

earplugs, helmets, face masks, gloves, goggles) will be provided to mine workers as

safeguards. Regular medical check-up camps shall also be arranged for detection of

occupational diseases and minor disease in the nearby villages. Free check-up and medicine
