Mata Bar Range, Tehsil Makrana, District Nagaur, and State Rajasthan over an

area of 0.3483 ha. The concerned mine is proposed by Shri Ram Kishan Mittal,

Makrana, Tehsil – Makrana, Dist –Nagaur, (Rajasthan).,

Project proponent wants to take environment clearance for the proposed plan

period. The average rated proposed production is 2600 TPA of marketable

marble Quarry. The estimated project cost is Rs 50 Lakhs. The expected life of

mine is 10 years.

2.2 Brief Information about the Project

The project has been proposed for mining Marble Quarry by opencast Semi-

Mechanized method. The Q.L. area is 0.3483 Ha. The average targeted rate of

production is 2600 MTPA (Marketable Marble). The expected life of the mine is

10 years. Water requirement for the proposed project for drinking use, dust

suppression and other use (wire saw cutting and wet drilling) will be 3.0 KLD.

Drinking water will be provided by nearby village through tractor tank.

27

2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region

Socially and economically the area is backward. At present the major occupation

of the villagers are farming and cattle rearing. The proposed mining will provide

regular employment to the villagers of the area.

2.4 Demands-Supply Gap

The demand for Marble Quarry is ever growing with the development in the

infrastructure sector of our country. This Marble Quarry from India are generally

used as in flooring, and to pave the floors of large commercial complexes,

hospitals, airports, shopping malls, railway stations, parks etc. Therefore there is

always been a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market.

2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production

As the mineral is sufficiently found indigenously so the import of the same is not

required.

2.6 Export Possibility

There is no proposal to export the marble. However, marble quarry produced

from the mine will fulfill the needs of the region and if surplus, it will be

considered for export also.

2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets

Domestic Market

It is an important stone for construction and architecture. These marble quarry

are generally used in flooring, and to pave the floors of large commercial

complexes, hospitals, airports, shopping malls, railway stations, parks etc.

Export Market

Since the produced mineral is being sufficiently absorbed in the local market and

to sustain its self-sufficiency, the requirement for mineral export has been

discouraged.

2.8 Employment Generation

As per proposed mining total 10 unskilled workers, 3 skilled operated are to be

proposed to be employed in mining. The labor will be employed from nearby

village. Some local habitants of the area will get indirect employment from the

mining activities and by transportation.

Physiography

The Q.L. area is having flat topography. The highest Contour in the area is

422.00mts and the lowest Contour is 420.00mts. The general slope of the area is

towards west direction. There is no seasonal nalla flowing in the area as well as

out side the area. The average rainfall in the area is about 500mm. The rainwater

flows down the slope of the area and flows into the nearby areas. Some part of

water is accumulated during rainy season in the area, accumulated water

pumped out. The maximum temperature recoreded in summer is 45°C, whereas

minimum temperature is nearly 4°C during winter. The pre-monsoon depth of

water is about 90m, whereas post-monsoon depth is about 80m. There is no

29

public road is passing through the area. There is no forest land with in the lease

area. Entire lease area is private land.

Regional Geology

Geologically, Nagaur district is occupied by the Delhi Supergroup rocks, Erinpura

rocks, Erinpura Granite, Malani Igneous suite, Marwar Supergroup rocks and

Jogira Fullers earth/Kuchera Khajwana series focks. Delhi Supergroup comprises

the Raialo, Alwar and Ajabgarh groups. Raialo group is mainly represented by

conglomerate quartzite, dolomitic and calcitic marbles and garnetiferous schist.

These are mainly exposed near Ras and Makarana.

Local Geology:

The marble deposit extends over a strike length of about 12Kms having a width

of 1.6 km, located in the west of Makarana town. In this belt there are six parallel

to sub parallel bands of marble having 2 to 12 mts width, occurring between

Borawad and Makarana. On the basis of physical characters like colour, pattern,

grain size etc Makarana marble belt has been divided into 14 blocks. Blocks wise

description is as follows:

Geomorphologically, the area is represented by strike ridges, sand sheets,

anthropogenic overburden mounds, slurry dumps and deep pits. Drainage in the

mining area is mostly internal. Major part of the area is covered by mobile to semi

stable, NNW-SSE to NE-SW trending sand dunes which overlie calcareous sand

pseudo-conglomerate, kankar or gypsite bed of Quaternary period. Marble is

exposed on surface in the central part, whereas overburden varies upto 15 m in

the northern and the southern part of the area.

Makrana marble deposits belong to Ajmer Formation of Kumbhalgarh Group of

the Delhi Supergroup (Pareek, 1984; G.S.I. 1997). Five prominent marble bands

occur in the area west of Makrana. From east to west these are known as (1)

Devi-Gunawati range (2) Dungri range (3) Pink range, (4) Makrana Kumhari

range, and (5) Borawar Kumhari range with band I and II (Natani, 2001). The

different marble bands have formed due to tight isoclinal folding. The mining

ranges are known by different names in different blocks (Fig. 1). At present

mines extend from Matabhar in the north to Bilu-Mored in the south

(approximately 13 km) along the strike and from Gunawati in the east to Borawar

in the west (about 1.6 km) across the strike. Matabhar, Kalanada, Kolhadungri

and Bilu-Mored are new mining areas.

32

The detailed study of the area was done to assess the marble quantum in the

area. These studies included Geological Mapping, Topographical survey and

Geological Traversing.

Detailed geological mapping of the QL area of 250’x200’ was carried out on a

scale of 1:500. Topographical survey of the marble area was simultaneously

done. Different lithounits along with their dimensions were marked on map.

Marble rock is precisely marked. The Geological Plan is enclosed as plate No. 4

along with this report. Given below is the generalized litho – units (geological

horizon) exposed on the surface of the near QL area: -

(i). Sandy alluvium and Grid & kankar (The average thickness of this unit is

7.0mts.)

(iii). Associates rock of marble as waste : (The average thickness of this unit is

13.0mts as O.B. and side of the deposit marble up to bottom.)

(iv) Marble. (Marble is about 19.0mts and bottom of marble bed is not proved.)

Marble in the area trending NNW-SSW with steep dips is 70° to 72° towards

ESE.

In the quarry area marble is coarse grained and colour of the area is white. The

entire rock mass is jointed. There are two different sets of joints running

perpendicular to each other dividing the massive rock mass into blocky

formation. Hanging wall is also present in working pit in SE direction & foot wall is

present in NW direction.

Use of Marble:-Nagaur district is well known in the world over owing to the presence of

Makrana marble. Marble occurring in the vicinity of Makrana town is so famous that

'Makrana' has become the synonymous of marble. It has been worked intensively from

time immemorial. Word famous Taj Mahal of Agra: Victoria Memorial, Kolkata:

Delwara Jain Temple at Mount Abu and Ranakpur Temple in Pali & other famous

monuments of excellent architectural art and beauty are constructed of Makrana

marble.

3.5 Project description with process details

3.5.1 Method of Mining

The mining will be semi mechanized with wet drilling of the holes through

compressed air operated jack hammers and cutting of rock will be done by

splitting and lifting of blocks is done by jib cranes. It is proposed to carry out the

work of excavation without blasting. The mining will be done with help of wet drill

m/c, and Diamond wire saw cutting machine etc. The mining shall be started

from the existing pit. The working will be done by forming benches of 5m height

as per requirement. Occasionally the overburden will be removed with help of

JCB on hire basis and loaded in trucks and transported to dump yard. As the

marble, is to be mined are exposed on benches. The marble is a building

material. The cost of the marble is directly dependent on the size of the block

mined. Therefore, it is desired to get the maximum size of the boulders from the

rocks. For this special techniques in wet drilling, i.e. by locating the direction and

spacing of the joints, is done and the suitable free face is provided. At a time

single bench is worked from the safety point. After that the block is lifted from the

area with the help of jib crane. The proposed mining method will include the

following steps:-

i) Overburden Removal

ii) Marble Excavation

iii) Making of Block

i) Overburden Removal

The overburden in the area is mostly soil, grid & kankar. This overburden will be

removed by JCB and separately stacked in the area. The height of bench 5 m

maximum and width will be not less than height.

ii) Marble Excavation

Making Gully and Toda: - Overburden will be removed, now the weathered

marble & marketable marble is to be mined out. For this purpose special benches

in the area are prepared in the shape of English letter ‘T’. These are known as

Gully and Toda. For this, a cut by wire saw is made as the outline of these, or

weak zone is developed along the outline with the help of a jackhammer.

34

Block Mining :- After this job is done, the visible blockable area, known as Thadi,

many huge chunk of marble, known as Phada of full depth will be mined out. This

Phada is detached from the mine by the wedge technique.

iii) Making of Block :- Once the stoner has been freed from all six sides, it is

topped down for making smaller pieces with the help of jacks and then marked

for the required sizing. Then these blocks are made with the help of jackhammer

and wedge technique.

After this, the blocks are lifted with the help of a 30 tonnes jib crane and are

loaded into the trucks for transportation.

Blasting: The overburden is unconsolidated, friable soil and Grit & Kankar. From

the experience of existing quarry it is anticipated that grit and kanker can be dug

and loaded by J.C.B. No blasting is required. The mineralized marble cutting

blocks with wire saw. In this view of the above. It is proposed to carry out the

work of excavation without blasting.

4.5 Soil Classification

Four types of soil have been reported in the district viz, clay, clay loam, sandy

loam and sandy soil. The general texture of the soil in the area is sandy loam to

clayey loam which is further classified into “Barani” or unirrigated and “Chahi” or

irrigated soil. A part of Nagaur tehsil and south-eastern part of Merta tehsil has

deep sandy loam, where red loamy soil exists elsewhere in the Merta tehsil

except on the banks of river Luni, light loamy soil occurs in Parbatsar tehsils

away from hill ranges. A longitudinal belt from Didwana to Nawa extending up to

Sambhar Lake has the characteristics of alkaline soil. (Source: - District

Groundwater Brochure, 2009, Central Ground Water Board, Nagaur,

Rajasthan).

4.7 Climate Data from Secondary Sources

The district experiences arid to semi-arid type of climate. Mean annual rainfall

(1971-2005) of the district is 410mm, whereas normal rainfall (1901-1970) is

lower than average rainfall and placed at 363.1 mm. It is obvious that there is

significant increase in rainfall during the last 30 years. The rainy days are limited

to maximum of 15 days in a year. Almost 80% of the total annual rainfall is

received during the southwest monsoon. The probability of occurrence of mean

annual rainfall is 38%. Based on agricultural criteria which indicate the district is

prone to mild and normal type of drought. Occurrence of severe and very severe

type of drought is very rare. There is not much variation in distribution of rainfall.

However, the southern part of the district gets slightly more rainfall than northern

part. The mean annual rainfall is lowest at Didwana (347.8mm), which lies in

northern part of the district, whereas the mean annual rainfall is highest at

Degana (471.9mm) which lies in southern part of the district.

Seasonal Distribution: The rainfall in the district is highly seasonal. More than

90% of the total annual rainfall is received during the south – west monsoon

season. The monsoon enters the district in the first week of July and withdraws

by the middle of September. July is followed by August with monthly normal

rainfall of 120.8mm. As the district lies in the desert area, extreme heat in

summer and cold in winter is the characteristic of the desert. Both day and night

39

temperature increases gradually and reaches at their maximum in May and June

respectively. The temperature varies from 46 degree in summer to 7 degree in

winter. The winter starts by middle of November and lasts till February.

Atmosphere is generally dry except during the monsoon period. The humidity is

highest in August with mean daily relative humidity of 80%. The annual maximum

potential evapo transpiration in the district is quite high and it is highest (255.1

mm) in the month of May and lowest (76.5 mm) in the month of December.

Phada is detached from the mine by the wedge technique.

41

5.2 Land use Planning

The detailed land use of the area at the end of the five year is given below:

At end of the life of mine out of a total of about 0.30hectares excavated

area, this whole worked out (excavated) area will be used as rain water

accumulation. Ultimate pit slope of 45° will be maintained. This slope of 45° is

suggested as the marble and O.B. formation is hard.

5.3 Assessment of Infrastructure demand (Physical & Social)

On the basis of the preliminary site visit, the infrastructure demand in the village

was assessed on the basis of need and priority. The road facility is already

available which shall be used and properly maintained. Preference will be given

to local labour from nearby villages. The health infrastructure of the study area

requires improvement. The lack of medical facilities needs improvement. Medical

facilities will be provided by mine owner during mining.

Physical Infrastructure

The road facility is already available which shall be used and maintained.

The labor requirement is drawn from the nearest villages, which shall also

be trained for the requirement in mines. Other infrastructure facilities

wet drilling) KLD. *Recirculation of water for use wire saw and wet drilling in

marble will be practiced.

6.7 Sewerage System

Domestic waste water will be treated into septic tank followed by soak pit

6.8 Industrial Waste Management: Not applicable

6.9 Solid Waste management

Total waste generated during the next five years shall be 29105 cum. The waste

generated will be stacked at the earmarked place in the selected non mineralized

site area khasra no 9/1,9/2 and 9/3 and ultimately will be used by the local

villagers for preparation of parapet wall, wall fencing, boundary wall etc. at no

cost.

6.10 Power Requirement & Supply/Source

7. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN

As no personnel are expected to be migrated due to mining in the Q.L. area and

the adjoining region is also having good mineral potential, the rehabilitation of the

employees is not going to be a problem. The workers and other staff can easily

get job in the neighboring areas after the end of life of mine.

8 PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES

8.1 Likely Date of Start of Construction and Likely Date of Completion

No construction activities are proposed. The mining activity will commence only

after receiving the environmental clearance and other statutory clearance.

8.2 Estimated Project Cost Along With Analysis In Terms of Economic

Viability of the Project

Estimated project cost is Rs. 50 Lakhs. The machineries will be hired. Some

machinery will be deployed by Licensee. Some Machinery will be kept for future

use also. The mine will be Eco-Friendly in nature. Economically the ore is

mineable as compared to overburden thickness.

9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)

The proposed mine will bring about economic benefits to the state in the form of

Royalty of mineral and to the local people by getting direct and secondary

employment opportunities. The material is in high demand at the local market as

it can be used in various industries in different ways. From the times immemorial

Marble Quarry has been used by the individual for construction and other

industries.

This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society/

economically backward population and tribal in the area. It provides employment

to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly. The mine management will

also help nearby villages by providing aid to school, conducting medical and

social awareness camps, helping in formation of self-help groups, etc. Thus the

project will bring about socio-economic improvement of the area and will prove

beneficial to the area.
