8 CHAPTER 2 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT Sand is a ubiquitous material; available everywhere and is being used from the time immemorial for wide applications in our daily life; infrastructures, building construction, highways, roads, townships, multiplexes, foundations of buildings and industrial units etc. and is an integral part of development. Life without sand is unthinkable. Over the millennia, the weathering effect, the flow of water at high velocities in rivers and the pressure of water from the high mountainous reservoirs converted and pushed the hard ground underneath into sand, etc. which travelled as sediments with the flow. This sand got deposited along the river course wherever conditions were favorable. In the deep past this settled sand was not extracted in a quantity in which it deposited; since due to less population the requirements was not enough. As a result of continuous deposit of sand, the rivers went on changing their course, widening by itself, eroding the fields and expanding, resulting in flooding, inundation and breaking their banks, causing devastation of property and loss of life. There has been a severe impact on every aspect of the environment. The rivers thus, needed channelization and therefore, extraction of sand through mining was expedient. The haphazard mining of sand being practiced now for long, through unregulated, uncontrolled and illegal way added almost an irreversible damage to the environment, which became a cause of serious concern to everyone. Though sand is a very important mineral source for development, its mining through scientific methods has also become equally imperative. It is for this purpose that mining plan is being drawn so that all its aspects are taken care of justifiably, according to law, protecting the environment, removing all adverse impacts and creating a direct and indirect employment opportunities, improving socioeconomic conditions of the local inhabitants and all-around status of life, achieving thereby a sustainable development. Besides the above, the process of mining of minor minerals (Sand) is a constant source of revenue generation to the State Government through Royalty. 2 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd.

25 CHAPTER-4 4. GEOLOGY & EXPLORATION PHYSIOGRAPHY The Bihar state can be broadly subdivided into three major units i.e main physical subdivisions are the Northern Mountains, the Gangetic Plains and the Central Highlands. Northern Mountains comprises the Himalayan ranges including their foot hills. The Gangetic plains, situated between the Himalayas and the Deccan plateau, constitute the most fertile plains of the sub-basin ideally suited for intensive cultivation. The Central highlands lying to the south of the Great plains consists of mountains, hills and plateaus intersected by valleys and river plains. They are largely covered by forests. Aravali uplands, Bundelkhand upland, Malwa plateau, Vindhyan ranges and Narmada valley lie in this region. Predominant soil types found in the sub-basin are sandy, loamy, clay and their combinations such as sandy loam, loam, silty clay loam and loamy sand soils. TOPOGRAPHY The area represents a rough and rugged topography. A detailed geological map on 1:1000scales with contour interval. The area shows a general slope toward N-E while the highest RL of 69m occurring on the South West side of the area along boundry pillar, whereas the lowest RL of 67m within the lease area is found along N-E slope near boundary line. The surface plan of the area is shown in Plate No-03A. GEOMORPHOLOGY Based on broad geomorphic parameters such as relief, drainage pattern and geology Bihar may be divided into three geomorphic domains. (i) Uplifted block of hilly southern highlands comprising the northern part of the Kodarma- Santhal Pargana planation surface, falling in parts of Bihar, northern fringe or escarpment of Chotanagpur plateau and Rohtas plateau (ii) The transition zone between the southern highlands and the Great Ganga Plains, constituting the central Bihar Plains, and (iii) The Ganga foredeep of the North Bihar Plains bounded by the rising Himalaya in the north and the Ganga R. in the South. The geomorphic units (ii) and (iii) constitutes the part of Middle Ganga basin. The Southern hills demarcates the Mid-Ganga basin along the 150 m contour. 19 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

26 Rohtas Plateau : This plateau rises sharply above Sone river to an height of over 500 m above msl. This plateau slopes down to the north and manifests steep faulted escarpment to the south. Koderma Santhal Pargana Plateau : This plateau has a gentler easterly slope into the Santhal Pargana plains, which has elevation in the range of m above msl except for isolated hills. Indo-Gangetic Plains : The Ganga foredeep basin as a whole and the river systems e.g. Gandak-Son, Ganga-Gandak & Kosi,Paimar,Falgu in particular have been studied in an effort to evaluate the alluvial geology and cause of natural disaster and other hazards. The various morpho-litho-stratigraphy of Alluvial Sediments of Ganga plains. Alluvial Soils : These are prominently developed in the mid - plains in parts of Sasaram and Bhojpur districts west of Son, North of Rajgir hills in parts of Patna, Jehanabad and Gaya districts and along an east-west belt fringing the Tal belts of Soils in parts of Munger- Bhagalpur districts, on the Southern bank of Ganga. These are light coloured poorly fertile soils, that develop cracks on drying. They are mainly an association of vertisols (Soil Assnl. 11) and rest of the plain is covered by soil association (Soil Assn. 12) [Refer Map Plate No. 5(B)]. They are mildly acidic to neutral in reactivity but locally mildly alkaline (ph= ). They are low in free CaCO3 ( %), poor in soluble salts, low to high in available P2O5 (18-65 kg/ha) and available K2O ( kg/ha). The soils are often characterized by ferruginous and calcium carbonate concretions, either throughout the profile or confined to the lower layers. Along the foothills of Adhaura range the soils are yellowish red to yellow alfisols (soil Assn. 14). The Tal belt South of Ganga is some 8 to 15 km wide. The soils are dark coloured and heavy textured and are alkaline (ph ). The soils comprise variants of Vertisols (Soil Assn. 10). In the topographic low micro-watershed areas heavy textured soils comparable to black cotton soils or vertisoils. Ground water in the alluvial track of the district The thickness of Quaternary Alluvial deposit generally ranges from 15m to 100m in the northern part of the district. The maximum depth to bed rock is 91m.The sandy layers in the alluvial terrain form the main repository of ground water in the northern part of the district. The thickness of alluvial deposit increases from south to north. Ground water usually 20 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

27 occurs under both unconfined conditions in aquifer disposed at shallower depth and under semi-confined to confined condition at deeper depths. Ground water in the hard rock formation As the southern part of the district is underlain by Precambrian formations, the movement, occurrence and distribution of the ground water is primarily controlled by nature and distribution of joints, fissures and other structural zones of weakness. At places the granites and meta-sedimatries are weathered and extensively jointed. Ground water occurs in this weathered formation in unconfined condition, Whereas the deeper fracture within the hard rocks also form a very good repository of ground water.

The Litho unit shown on the geological map of the leased out area have been plotted on the basis of physical characteristics observed in the field. Sand and silt are deposited in the middle of the river whereas fine sand and soil are deposited at the fringe of the riverbanks. Soil/ alluvium varying in thickness from 0.20m to 0.60m m constitute the top horizons in the area suitable for agriculture. River Lilajan,Falgu,Morhar,Paimar,Dhadhar,Buddh meanders through the area exposing the alluvium and soil at the banks.

29 VII 60A to 61A ORIGIN & CONTROL of MINERALIZATION (ANNUAL REPLENISHMENT OF MINERAL IN RIVER BED AREA/SEDIMENTATION) Sedimentation, in the geological sciences, is a process of deposition of a solid material from a state of suspension or solution in a fluid (usually air or water). Broadly defined it also includes deposits from glacial ice and those materials collected under the impetus of gravity alone, as in talus deposits, or accumulations of rock debris at the base of cliffs. The term is commonly used as a synonym for sedimentary petrology and sedimentology. Sedimentation is generally considered by geologists in terms of the textures, structures, and fossil content of the deposits lay down in different geographic and geomorphic environments. The factors which affects the Computation of Sediment : Geomorphology & Drainage Pattern: The following geomorphic units plays important role: Structural Plain Structural Hill Structural Ridge Denudation Ridge & Valley Plain & Plateau of Gangetic plain Highly Dissected pediment Undissected pediment b) Distribution of Basin Area River wise c) Drainage System/Pattern of the area, Rainfall & Climate: Year wise Rainfall data for previous 10 years of Mahanada Basin/River e) As per Dandy & Bolton study Sediment Yield can be related to i) Catchment Area and ii) Mean Annual Run-off Sand is an essential minor mineral used extensively across the country as a useful construction constituent and variety of other uses in sports, agriculture, glass making (a form of sand with high silica content) etc. It is common knowledge that minerals are nonrenewable but this form of mineral naturally gets replenished from time to time in a given river system and is very much interrelated to the hydrological cycle in a river basin. Sand mining has become a widely spread activity and does not require a huge set up or technology, the number of ventures has increased extensively and it has become a 23 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

30 footloose industry in itself but the backward-forward linkages are becoming stronger as many are getting employed as well as the construction activity / industry requires this mineral at consistent rates. Andhra Pradesh on the hand is heading towards a lottery system1. Riverine environmental systems are unique in themselves and provide environmental services, natural resources to meet variety of needs of urban and rural communities. The Rivers originating from the Himalayas bring with them lots of aggregate materials whereas as they move downstream, only finer elements / minerals like sand are found in abundance. Dandy & Bolton formula for calculation of Sediment Yield: Dandy Bolton formula is often used to check whether the sedimentation yield exceeds the replenishment rate but the whole question is whether there is adequate monitoring of the river basin, the answer is no as hydrological stations are sparsely spread. The formula uses catchment area and mean annual runoff as key determinants to give a yield value. It does not differentiate in basin wide smaller streams and their characteristics. CWC distinguishes river basins as classified and non-classified, as per the latest hydrological data for unclassified River basins; there are 122 GDSW (Gauge, Discharge, Sediment & Water Quality) sites in 12 such basins, the number was 147 in This brings in context the whole issue of scientific mining, thereby indicating that the monitoring of sediment yield in rivers / streams within the river basins is essential to arrive at extraction rates and express and conduct environmental studies based on these basin wide characteristics which should become part of the Terms of Reference. The quantum of replenishable amount for the purpose of EIA i.e. the wash load is obtained by using sediment yield calculation method i.e. Dendy-Bolton Formula : Factors Probable Replenishment River Lilajan,Falgu,Mohana,Morhar, Buddh,Dhadhar,Paimar River Runoff 69.6 mm or 2.74 in Catchment area km 2 or 8214 mi 2 Average annual rainfall 696 (mm) or inch Vegetation cover factor of the 0.1 area 24 Prepared by: Pravin Kr.

They may provide a quick rough approximation of mean sediment yields on a regional basis for preliminary watershed planning. Because Dandy & Bolton have derived the equation form average values computed sediment yields normally would be low for highly erosive area and high for well stabilized drainage basins with high plant density. Sediment yield of a sediment basin has direct impact of local terrain, climate, vegetation, soils, agricultural practices & land use pattern of catchment area of the sediment basin aforesaid factors varies from basin to basin therefore, Dandy & Bolton has category stated that use of the equation to predict sediment yield for a specific location would be unwise because of the wide variability caused by local factors not considered in the equation development. Actual sediment yield form individual drainage basins may vary 10-fold or even 100-fold from computed yields. EXPLORATION Mining of sand is being done since long time therefore no specific method of exploration is required as the sand, deposited all along the bed and its paleochannels, which is very well exposed on the surface. The minerals excavated from the river bed will be replenished gradually during the monsoon season every year. And the area pertaining to palaeochannels 25 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd.

Adequate quantity of Sand in reserves is available for meeting consumer demand MINERAL RESERVES The Mineral reserves have been estimated as per the Indian Standard Procedures. The area of the mining lease is Hect and the average thickness of the river bed minerals estimated as 2.0 mt. Parameters of Reserve Estimation: The geological reserves have been estimated as per guidelines in all the three axis. Economic Axis (E-1): The Sand is exists with in the entire stretch & having no problem selling in the market. The road is near the Ghat & sand shall loaded into tipper with the deployement of an excavator & transport to various parties. The land is State Govt. land & State Govt. has given its consent for the exploitation of Sand on their expensive land. On the feasibility study, economic viability of deposit has been established sand in economic viable, therefore economic axis has been considered as E-1. Feasibility Status (F-1): Feasibility study has been carried out & is considered to be feasibility status. A feasibility study provides a preliminary assessment with a level of confidence as compared to that of feasibility study. It has been revealed that exploitation of sand is feasible & economic viable & feasibility axis under code has been considered as F-1: Geological Axis: The exposure of sand is seen in the entire stretch & thickness of sand varies 2.5m to 3.0m. Therefore geological axis has been considered as G-1. Geological Reserves The geological reserves have been each stretches & for individual blocks. Geological reserves have been completed through cross sectional area method.

However, as lease has been granted for 5 years, mining will be done for the allotted time, till the mineral reserve exists. 63 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

70 CHAPTER MINING Mining will be done as per the guidelines of Bihar Minor Mineral Concession Rules, This is an open-cast mining project. The operation will be semi-mechanized with use of excavators/jcbs etc. The sand will be collected in its existing form. Sand Mining will be carried out only upto a depth of 2 m bgl or above ground water level (whichever is less), for river bed block. No drilling /blasting are required as the material is loose in nature. Proper benching of 1.0 m height and 6m width will be maintained for mining blocks as per guideline M.M.R-1961, under rule 106. Mining will be done only during the day time and completely stopped during the monsoon season. Restriction on mining: i) The quarrying of sand shall be prohibited within 300 (three hundred) meters on both sides of any railway bridge or any bridge falling under any National Highway/State Highway and shall be prohibited within 100 (one hundred) meters of both sides of any other bridge. However the prohibited zone in respect of any particular bridge may be extended by the State Government through a notification in this regard, if so required for reasons of safety. ii) No quarrying shall be permitted within 50 (fifty) meters of any public place i.e. cremation ghat or any religious place etc. iii) No quarrying shall be permitted within 5 (five) meters from both banks of the river. iv) The quarrying of sand shall be prohibited within 100 (one hundred) meters upstream and downstream from any dam/weir or any other structure erected for irrigation purpose. v) No quarrying shall be permitted within 46 (forty six) meters distance from Flood control embankments. The quarrying shall be restricted upto a depth of 1.80m within 46 (forty six) meters to 61 (sixty one) meters to 91 (ninety one) meters distance from the above said embankments. 64 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

71 vi) The irrigation outlet shall be maintained at the same level as that of the river bed and in no case the river bed level shall be permitted to be below the irrigation outlet level. No quarrying shall be permitted around the infiltration well/intake well up to a distance of 5 meters. vii) The extraction of sand shall be permitted only after obtaining a No Objection Certificate from the Water Resources Department in the case of rivers where from irrigation channels are out flowing. viii) No quarrying of sand shall be permitted in any private land owned by a person other than the settlee unless the settle obtains the consent of the concerned land owner/royal tee. ix) No quarrying of sand shall be permitted in any area which the State Government notifies as a restricted area. 5.1 Mode of working: Applied area has been allotted for a period of 5years in Seven stretches namely Lilajan, Falgu, Mohana, Morhar, Buddh, Dhadhar & Paimar. Applied Area consist of ha area in 59 blocks. Mining will be done in 7 stretches in each block leaving safety distance form bank and stream for river bed blocks and barrier zone of 7.5 m around the Applied Area. The sand is won from agriculture fields adopting mining and simultaneous reclamation method. The lessee (settlee) purchases/ (pays compensation for the land), from the farmers for short periods. The sand shall be excavated by backhoe type excavators capacity & mineral is directly loaded into large trucks for dispatch to consumers situated in and around Gaya District. Water is sprinkled in the area from where the sand is to be removed before the operation starts and there after at regular intervals to keep the dust allayed at the source itself. Removal of soil (overburden) precedes the winning of sand. Once a pre-determined area has been exhausted of the sand, it shall be replenished by sand during monsoon period leveled it & maintained its maximum original topography. There is no need for drilling & blasting as hard rock is not encountered in sand mining. Therefore Environment and Ecology of the area remains undisturbed. 65 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

72 Light weight excavators/jcb will be deployed for extraction. Mining shall be carried through the formation of benches. Height & width of benches shall be kept 1.0m & 6m with face slope Haul road having width 6.0 & gradient 1:12 shall be provided for the movement of machineries & transportation of sand. Mineral will be loaded in trucks of 25 tonne capacity. There will be no OB or waste generation as the sand is exposed in the river bed. Bench will advance parallel to the banks of the river. Height of bench will be 1.0 m. Workings will be restricted within the Applied Area/ khasra as per the description report given by Mining Department. Mining activities will be carried out in a manner so that there is no obstruction to the movement of water flow, if any, during rainy season. The bench will be in the form of slices/ strips parallel to the banks of the river. Roads in the Applied Area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes more than 1 in 20. However, movement of trucks after mineral loading will be towards both sides through approach roads connecting to tar roads. Every block will have its own approach roads, well connected to main highways. No processing of mineral will be done. Mining will be done upto a maximum depth of 2 m in layers of 1.0 m each which will avoid ponding effect. Mining will be confined within central 3/4th width of the river. This will prevent collapse of bank and erosion. It will be done leaving a safety zone of total of 1/4th of the width of the river from the banks for bank protection. Excavated area will be replenished naturally due to sediment inflow from the catchment area. 5.1a Proposed method of mining: Mining activity will be carried out by open cast mechanized method. Light weight excavators will be used for loading of mineral in tippers. No OB/ waste material will be produced in river bed. The sand shall be exploited upto depth of 2.0m only through the formation of bench height 1.0m & width 6.0m. An approach road having width 6.0m & gradient 1.12 shall be provided for the movement of machineries & transportation of sand. The sand shall be exploited with the deployment of an excavator & filled into tippers & transported to various buyers. No drilling/ blasting are required as the material is loose in nature. 66 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

73 Proper benching of 1.0 m height will be maintained. Roads will be properly made and sprayed by water for suppression of dust. Roads in the applied area for the movement of loaded trippers/ trucks will not have slopes more than 1 in 16. The mined out area shall be replenished each year during monsoon period and maintained in maximum original topography. Approach roads from the various blocks as already described earlier will be merging with permanent tar roads on both sides of the river for transportation of the mineral to final destinations.

However, as the digging depth will be restricted to 2.0 m only. This will be further replenished during rainy season. Blocks will be worked systematically as the width is limited while length is much more. As the lease period is only 5 years, some of the area will be left un-worked at the end of lease period. (i) Final Slope Angle to Be Adopted: Height of the bench is limited to 1.0 m while width of individual bench shall be kept 6.0m. River bank side will be protected by working in 3/4th part of middle of the river. Bank side natural slope will not be disturbed. This will prevent collapse of bank and erosion. However, the height of the bank with respect to river bed is varying from 2-3 m only. (ii) During plan period workings will be carried out in the six stretches at a time of the Applied Area simultaneously. Scattered workings will ensure safety, remove congestion of vehicles and will have better control and management. (iii)ultimate Capacity of Dumps: There will be no OB removal / during the plan period. Therefore no proposal has been envisaged for its separate dumping. No outside material will be filled up in the extracted zone.

97 CHAPTER MINERAL BENEFICIATION Mineral Sand doesn t require processing or beneficiation. The excavated mineral will be directly loaded into the trucks. 91 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

98 CHAPTER ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN 12.1 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT In this project small amount of top soil will be generated, which will be used for purposed of applied for applied area stacked and later spread in the excavated area of off river bed blocks. Small amount of domestic waste will be generated by the workers at the site, which will be disposed off through proper municipal way. No other waste generation is expected PLANTATION The area of the proposed project lies in the river bed and in agriculture fields & devoid of any forest land. Mining activities in River Bed blocks will not cause any harm to riparian or aquatic vegetation as mining will be only in the dry river bed portions of the river leaving safety distance from the bank. Hence it proposed to plant trees along the banks (wherever possible), along the road sides or near the civic amenities in consultation with village authority/local bodies. In river bed mining cases plantation will be done along the barrier zone i.e. around the periphery of the Applied Area of 7.5m width. It is proposed to have plantation along the road sides on both sides to provide cover against dust dissemination and also to act as noise absorber. Plantation will also be carried out as social forestry programme in villages, school/ and the areas allocated by the village authority/local bodies. Every year 500 to 600 trees of will be planted with various types of species. List of species is recommended for plantation. Native plants like Mango, Neem, Eucalyptus, Peepal, Gulmohar, and other local species will selected in suitable combination, so that can grow fast and also have good leaf cover. It is proposed to plant. 92 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

99 12.3 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN 1. Top soil storage, preservation and utilization Thin quantities of top soil to be generated will be stacked separately, preserved and used for purposed of plantation therefore no proposal has been envisage for storage, preservation & utilization. 2. Waste dump management No waste is being generated during mining whatever material is collected is transported in its original shape. Hence no waste management is required. Small amount of domestic waste is expected, which will be disposed off in a proper way. No waste will be thrown into the streams or left on the banks. 3. Plantation programme Plantation will be done along both sides of roads and civic amenities in consultation with the local authorities. social forestry programme will also be conducted in the nearby villages 4. Quality of air 24 hourly samples twice a week for one month in each season except monsoon will be collected at the mine site and nearby villages and analyzed. 5. Noise Excavators used for mining & transportation vehicles used for dispatch of minerals are source of noise pollution at mine site. Hence periodical noise monitoring will be done. Ear muffs/protective equipments will also be provided for safety of the workers. 6. Quality and make of water including surface and ground water Mining will not have any impact on surface and ground water, however monitoring of parameters will be done once in each season. 7. Soil No major impact on soil due to mining operations is expected. Soil parameters will be monitored once in two years. 8. Topography & drainage Mined out area will be replenished every year during monsoon period in each stretches in each block in case of river bed blocks. Hence as such no topographical impact will be seen. A buffer zone will be left on either side of banks as safety measure. 93 Prepared by: Pravin Kr. Sinha, Regd. No. RQP/JBP/129/2011/A

100 There is no stream crossing through the applied area area, which would show impact on drainage pattern. 9. Local transport infrastructure Trucks/dumpers are main vehicles running on the road for mineral transportation. The present road network is adequate to handle the load of this project. Water sprinkling on the haul roads/link roads will be done two times in a day to keep the dust suppressed. Also proper parking and traffic management will be followed ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT FUND As per the conditions of Saidhantik Letter, it has been proposed to allocate Environment Management Fund. The settlee shall deposit/pay an amount equal to 50% of the due contract money along with installments towards the Mines and Minerals Development, Restoration and Rehabilitation fund.
