8 CHAPTER-3 Details of Approved Mining Plans/Scheme of Mining The Fire Clay quarry had been granted in favor of Gopalbhai Valabhai Madhavi & Bharatbhai Ravjibhai Vora in the year of 2008 for a period of 20 years. Mining plan or scheme of mining prior to this Mining Plan has not been prepared or submitted. PART-A 1.0 Geology & Exploration a. Topography Uneven topography can be seen in the quarry lease. The entire lease is covered with alluvial soil up to the approximate depth of 2.5 meter followed by Sandstone formation up to 2 meter followed by Shale formation up to 1.5 meter followed by Fireclay formation. The depth of proved & probable formation of fire clay is 5 meter below shale formation. The maximum elevation in the Quarry Lease is m and the minimal elevation is m (These levels are based on the total station survey data with the reference of assumed base level i.e 100m, Refer Annex No: 1). The minimal level was observed in the pit present. Trees can be seen in very less number in and near the Quarry Lease. Scattered ferns & bushes can be seen around the lease. Hasanpar quarry lease does not fall in or near reserve forest, forest, national parks or sanctuary. The temporary benchmark has been shown on surface plan i.e m. b. Regional Geology Morbi district is located in the centre of Saurashtra peninsula. The district is named after the industrial town of Morbi, which is also the headquarters of the district. The district covers an area of 11,203 km2. it is divided in to 13 talukas & has a population of 25,14,122. Morbi is famous for its pottery, glassware, tiles & wall clocks. Wankaner is another pottery centre while Jetpur is known for its textile dyeing. The district falls in the zone have a annual rain fall of 40 cm & is well connected by roads & railways. The oldest rocks in the district are represented by the Dhrangadhra Group, which is exposed in the northeastern part of district. It is represented by the Than, the Suraj deval & the Ranipat Formation, in the ascending order of superposition. These sediments comprise grey & black shale, sandstone, red shale (marker horizon), quartzite, grit & conglomerate. Plant fossils & thin stringers of coal occur within the Than Formation. The closure of the Mesozoic Era (97.5 to 65 Ma) was marked by the outpouring of enormous lava flows which spread horizontally over the vast areas of Morbi district on account of extreme fluidity of basaltic lava. These volcanics (Deccan Traps) comprise massive, hard, amygdaloidal, phyric to aphyric basalt, and rhyolite & felsic flows. Some of the basalts are picritic in composition. The basalts & the older sediments are traversed by dykes of dolerite, basalt & alkali 7

9 trachyte. Gabbro & granophyre intrusive are also present. Pyroclastic material occurs in small patches. Sedimentary belts, inter bedded within the lava flow, indicating break in volcanism, have been recorded south of Wankaner. The Quaternary sediments are represented by small isolated outcrops of limestone belonging to the Miliolite Formation of the Pleistocene age & by the Holocene sediments deposited by fluvial & marine agencies in the northern part of the district. The district has fine, clayey, montomorillonitic & mixed calcareous soils occurring in the hilly as well as pediment, piedmont & coastal zones (Map II). The southern part of the district is tectonically active where a few prominent lineaments & epicenters of earthquake are located. The district falls within an earthquake zone of moderate intensity (Map III). Since most part of the district is covered under the Deccan Traps, the underground water is scarce. In the north eastern part, sedimentary rocks of the Ranipat Formation act as good aquifers (Map IV).

The Individual Description of Rock Type is as follows: Alluvium soil: The average thickness of soil cover present in the quarry lease is 2.5 meter. Soil cover is loose and unconsolidated in nature. The Colour of soil in the quarry lease is varies light brownish to dark brownish. Followed By Sandstone: Sandstone which occurs in the quarry lease area is reddish brown in Colour. Sandstone may be defined as a stone made up of grains of quartz and other minerals of fairly uniform size and often smooth and rounded. These grains are held together by a cementing material which may be siliceous or ferruginous. The toughness of sandstone depends mostly on the nature of this cementing material. Sandstone occurs in the entire quarry lease area. The total thickness of the sandstone layer is 2.0 m. below soil cover. Followed By Shale: Cream shale present in the Quarry Lease is sandwiched between Sandstone and Fireclay. Shale is fine grain thus it is soft in nature. The Colour of 8

10 Shale is yellowish. The total thickness of the Shale layer is 1.5 meter below Sandstone formation. Followed By Fire Clay: Fire Clay covers whole of area below above mentioned formation, which is shown in the surface geological plan and section (refer plate no 4 & 5). The fire clay is blackish/ brown in Colour with clayey lusture. Fire clay is slightly basic in nature. Its composition includes iron, titania, etc; by which the fired Colour is not white normally withstand at higher temperature so that they are utilized in products where Colour is not important. The thickness of fire clay bed is 5 meter from below soil. The generalized geological sequence as observed in the field can be summarized as under: Dharangadhara Group Surajdewal Formation Soil Sandstone Shale Fire clay d.

Indicated Mineral Resources (5). Inferred Mineral Resources (6). Reconnaissance Mineral Resources & # Feasibility mineral recourses are non-mineable part of geological proved reserve. It is calculated by diminishing proved reserve from the geological proved reserve. Mineable Reserve The reserve blocked in statutory barriers is as follows: Mineable reserve of Fire Clay = Demonstrated reserve (Non-minable reserve + already excavated) = ( ) = tons

13 2.0 Mining A. Open Cast Mining Mineral Fire Clay occurs below the Soil cover/overburden. Average thickness of this cover is about of 6 meter which is observed throughout the lease area. Mineral fire clay is soft in nature, which can be excavated without blasting. Therefore mining is proposed by adopting open cast mining method with the help of crowbar or axe. Overburden is proposed be removed with the help of excavators and mineral fire clay will be excavated manually so that overburden does not contaminate with mineral. During five year mining is proposed along section B-B advancing from south-west towards north-east direction leaving statuary barriers. Depth wise mining is proposed up to 8 meters from existing ground level. Although fire clay deposit is massive in nature but some pockets of ferruginous material is expected to be encountered during mining activity hence recovery of saleable fire clay is considered 95% of record of material and the remaining 5% will be considered as mineral waste. The section A-A & B-B has been prepared and the working limit for proposed excavation for coming fiveyear period is shown in the year wise development plan and section. b.

Proposed Method of Mining ( B2 Category of Mine) Proposed method of mining will be open cast with the formation of benches. These benches will be developed as per the year wise development plan & section. The depth of the proposed pit are 8.0 meter which includes 6.0 meter scraping of soil cover/overburden and 2.0 meter scraping of mineral. Individual bench angle will be designed according to geotechnical data. e. Layout of Mine The layout of mine has been distributed into several parts; Layout of mine includes mineral waste, overburden, mineral stack and plantation. Mineral waste, stack and overburden are proposed on the southern side of the quarry lease whereas the latter one is proposed on the eastern side of the quarry lease. Mineral waste, stack and overburden will be stored/stacked or dumped in the 907 square meter area whereas plantation will be flourished in the 1814 square meter area in the statuary barrier. The road will be developed adjoining to the proposed pits. Office and shelter are proposed on the east corner of the quarry lease. Location of mineral stack, reject, overburden & other details are shown conceptual plan (Annexure 6). Ultimate shape & size of the pit limit Rate of production will be maintained at tons per annum of Fire Clay. The expected life of mine is about 2 years including the proposed five year Mining operation. The life of mine has been calculated based on the total depth of available reserve and the annual rate of production. The total area proposed for excavation of mineral Fire Clay will leave a pit of square meters after 5 th year mining operation and the depth of the pit will not exceed 8.0 meter. This will scrap 6.0 meter overburden and 2.0 meters Fire Clay. f. Conceptual Mining Plan A present total available reserve of mineral Fire Clay is expected tons has been prepared considering conceptual plan. Area of square meters will be used for excavation from Hasanpar Quarry Lease during the proposed five years of excavation. 14

A stone retaining wall is proposed near toe of the dump to stabilize the loose material. A garland drain (A shallow trench for draining surface or subsoil water before it reaches an excavation) is also proposed around the dump so that silt does not flow out from the dumps during rains. Reclamation and Rehabilitation: Reclamation is not planned at the end of lease period. Plantation is envisaged towards eastern direction of the quarry lease statuary boundary belt in next five year square meters area will be spared from Mining lese will be used. (Plantation will be done within lease barriers and around the dump site). B. Underground Mining: Underground mining refers to various underground mining techniques used to excavate hard minerals. Underground mining also involves the same techniques for excavating ores. These hard minerals are usually found at greater depth. The Fire Clay found in Hasanpar Village is at shallow depth. The depth of the Fire Clay present in the Quarry Lease does not exceed more than 05 meters. Thus underground mining is not applicable for Hasanpar Quarry Lease. 3.0 Mine Drainage a. The water table of bore well in Hasanpar is 80 m from the ground surface. b. Proposed Mining operation (excavation) during the next five years shall be about 8.0 m in depth. (Refer annexure 3, Year Wise Development Plan & Section) c. Mining operation in the area will not alter the quality & quantity of water because the ground water table will remain undisturbed. A water pump of will be installed for dewatering the accumulated water from the excavated area of the Quarry Lease during monsoon season. During monsoon season; the Mining will be closed / sealed during the rains. Accumulated rainwater will be filtered during pumping process to pendent or suspend solids materials. After this process, part 15

17 of that will be used for plantation works and rest will be diverted into natural drainage. d. Topographically the Quarry Lease is uneven. A gentle slope has been ascertained from SW-NE side of the area. Water flow direction during monsoon season is also the same.

Nature and quantity of top soil, overburden/ waste and mineral reject (Table 10) Year Top soil Mineral Rejects Reuse/Spreading Storage Backfilling Storage Blending Beneficiation 1 st nd rd th th b. Manner of disposal and configuration of soil with scree (overburden) dump Alluvial soil layer/overburden of 6 meter thickness will be removed/excavated from square meters area during proposed five year mining operation. Stacking of waste During next five years 4531 tons of waste is proposed to be removed. A proposed dumping/stacking ground will be developed between pillar 01 and 21 of the Quarry Lease area. Height & spread of stacks: The maximum height of waste will be 2 meter. The purpose of the calculating the shape of dump has been assumed to be a regular pyramid having maximum sides slopping at certain angle. A stone wall is proposed to be constructed near toe of waste dump so to prevent the spreading of loose material. A garland drains of size 1.0 X 1.0m. & siltation pit is proposed at the bottom side of the dump so as to prevent washout from the dumps. 16

18 CHAPTER-5 USE OF MINERAL a. End-use of the Mineral Mineral Fire Clay found in the area can be used for refectory, paint, ceramic & foundry industries. Fire clays are refractory clay and are capable of withstanding around 17000C. The chemical parameters determining the suitability in refractory industry include 60 to 62% SiO2, 24 to 36% or above AL2O3 and less than 5% total fluxes of which the alkali and iron should be particularly low. Refractoriness and plasticity are the principal requisites for the fire clay to be used in manufacture of refractory bricks. Based on the capacity to withstand high temperatures, the fire clays are graded into the following four categories. A sample of Fire Clay from the Hasanpar Quarry Lease was analyzed. Obtained results are furnished in Table 1. B. Processes to upgrade the ROM Not Applicable CHAPTER-6 PROCESSING OF ROM AND MINERAL REJECTS There is no proposed for mineral processing at mine site. As mentioned earlier, Fire Clay will be excavated manually. The excavated mineral will be made in to gritty form manually with the help of hammers. Besides this there will be no mineral processing at mine site. Saleable Fire Clay (95% of ROM) Stock Dispatch CHAPTER-7 OTHER a. Site service A temporary office will be set up in the Quarry Lease area. Site operation will be regulated from this office. Each vehicle loaded with Fire Clay will be weighed on the weigh bridge which is placed near to the site office. Site has good approach road, and this facilitates transportation facility. Water is sprinkled along the road to prevent dust generation on account of vehicular movements. 17

19 Basic facilities like working table, chair, drinking water, first aid box, toilet and bath room are available to the employees working in the lease area. Drinking water is sourced from Hasanpar and is potable. b. Employment Potential Following staff & workers are proposed to be employed in accordance with the provisions of the GMMCR {A} R Management & Supervisory personal proposed to be employed The project requires in total site employees. This involves one geologist, one mining supervisor, two semi-skilled operators and un-skilled labours. CHAPTER-8 Progressive Mine Closure Plan under Rule GMMC {A} R-2015 Introduction This Mining Plan with progressive mine closure plan has been prepared in compliance of under rule of GMMC {A} R Environment Base Line Information (Table 11) Proposed land use pattern after five years shall be as follows Particulars Mining excavation (degraded due to mining) i.

Overburden/Waste & Stack Total area end of fifth year Total land put in used Remaining area Total area Water Regime River, lake, pond, well or water bodies are absent in this Quarry Lease. However, the depth of water level is found nearly 80 meter below existing ground level. The depth of water level was observed in bore well situated in Hasanpar and was measured by water level indication. Quality of Air The element of ambient air is decontaminate and does not necessitate any test. 18

20 Quality of Water Perennial water sources are not present in the vicinity. However a water sample has been collected and tested from a bore well of Hasanpar. The report of chemical analysis of water sample is attached in report. Ambient Noise Level The noise level in and around the lease area is too low and within the desirable limit. Flora and Fauna Flora and fauna has not been observed in the applied lease area. Scattered vegetation along with thorny bushes is visible near the Quarry Lease. Wild animals are not present / seen in the applied lease area. However, presence of Dogs, Cattle and Goat are seen in nearby villages. Climatic condition The area is characterized by tropical climate with an average rainfall of about 650mm, which is received during monsoon Season. Temperature in this region in peak of summer varies 40 C to 46 C while the average temperature of winter season varies between 15 C to 20 C. Relative humidity varies from 20% to 90%. Human Settlements There is no human settlement seen within the Quarry Lease area. One small structure will be made within the Quarry Lease so that the labours can rest during their downtime. Public Building, Place of Worship and Monuments Public building and place of worship (s) are not present in or near the Quarry Lease area. 8.2 Environmental Impact Assessment Under the above conditions, there is no remarkable impact of mining on environment, except land degradation around the pits. Air Quality Air pollution is caused when dust gets air borne after it is formed during loading and unloading of waste material as well as due to movement of trucks on the proposed mine roads for transportation. The proposed mine working is small scale and semi- mechanized open cast method. The water is sprayed on the mine haul roads, loading and dumping points regularly for dust suppression. Green belt is also developed in and surrounding the mines to absorb dust. Vehicle exhaust should direct upwards to avoid creating excess turbulence at road surface. It is also advised that the mine workers in dusty area should use cloth masks as far as possible. 19

21 Noise Level Noise are produced while blasting/loading/digging and occasional plying of dumper/truck etc. Noise can be reduce at the source by propose selection, installation & proper maintained of equipment. Green belt is also developed in and surrounding the Mining to absorb noise. Therefore proposed mining method will not produce any significant noise and hence will not cause any damage to present calm and quiet environment of the area. Vibration Level Mining is proposed semi-mechanized. This will be create no ground vibration. Water Regime No perennial water source does exist in the lease area. The proposed mining is not likely to have any adverse impact on ground water table, which is much below depth of present and proposed Mining operation. There is no water channel or any other surface bodies (pond, lake etc.), which can be adversely effected by the proposed operation. Acid Mine Drainage Not Applicable Socio-economic Environment Local laborers will be employed from the nearby villages as per this Mining operation. The proposed Mining operation envisages an employment opportunity to local villagers. Workmen employed in sorting of mineral and mining operations will be affected by dust generated and will be provided with cloth dust masks and other necessary safety equipment s. The proposed Mining operation will not involve any displacement of local population. There is no recreational facility in existence in the area and hence there is no impact. The future mining will not have any adverse impact on socio economic environment of the area. Historical Monuments Historical monuments, temple, building etc. does not exist within as well as near the Quarry Lease. 8.3 Progressive Reclamation Plan Implementation of progressive reclamation plan includes development of green belt within Quarry Lease area. The development of green belt will be done within 7.5 boundary barrier. Once Mining is completely excavated, the backfilling process will take place inside the mine out area Mined-Out Land (Total Area hectare) Particulars Mining excavation Road Overburden or Mineral/Waste & Stack Infrastructure etc. Present Area Hect Hect Hect Hect. 20

22 8.3.2 Topsoil/overburden Management A layer of top soil/overburden with approximately 6 meter thickness will be removed/ excavated from square meters during proposed five year mining operation Tailing Dam Management There is no proposal of beneficiation plant for processing of mineral, so no effluents will be generated Acid Mine Drainage Not Applicable Surface Subsidence Summary of Year Wise Proposal for Progressive Reclamation Plan (Table 12) Items Details Proposed Remarks Dump management Management of worked out benches Area afforested (ha) Five year plantation No of Saplings planted sapling per year Cumulative no of plants Cost including watch and care during the year Area available for rehabilitation (ha) Cost includes sapling, tree guard and post plantation care - - Afforestation done (ha) No of saplings done (ha) sapling per year Cumulative no of plants Any other method of - - rehabilitation (specify) Cost including watch and care during the year Cost includes sapling, tree guard and post plantation care Reclamation and Rehabilitation by backfilling Rehabilitation of waste land within lease Others (specify) Void available for Backfilling (L*B*D) pit wise/stope wise - - Void filled by waste/tailings - - Afforestation on the making water reservoir - - Any other means (specify) - - Area available (ha) - - Area rehabilitated - - Method of rehabilitation

23 8.4 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment The proposed workings are by opencast mining method. Underground mining is not applicable for Hasanpar quarry. Thus high risk accidents like landslide, subsidence, flood, inundation, seismic activities would not come across. In the case of accident, a well-equipped first aid station is available at nearby same lessee mine site for giving first aid to injured persons. A vehicle will always remain at site. \\The lessee is proficient to face any type of risk. The primary health center (PHC) & other health services are vacant at Hasanpar village. All safety measures viz helmet, iron toe shoes, dust mask etc. shall be implemented. 8.5 Care and Maintenance during Temporary Discontinuance The latter steps will be taken throughout the temporary discontinuance of the Mining operation: 1. If Mining is disclosed temporary basis, it will be under vigilance of a custodian. 2. Before reopening; the maintenance will be provided to all the machineries deployed at quarry. 3. The Quarry Lease will be protected by the displaying notice boards at the entry. These notice boards will be drafted in English as well as in local language. 4. Before the entrance or reopening of the Mining operation, the working and faces will be inspected by manager/supervisor for safety purpose as per Mines Act. 5. The open pit will be protecting by the erecting fencing as per norms and all around the open pits with caution boards displaying that Danger Zone. 22

24 8.6 Financial Assurance The amount of financial assurance as required under Rule 3K of GMMC (A) R, 2015 has been calculated based on the proposed Mining area put to use for mining and allied activities after five years. The total applied Mining area is hectare; out of which the area put to use for mining and allied activities is hectare.
