(ii) Brief description & nature of the project

This is a new proposed Manganese mine having area of 26.67 Ha & is a Category ‘A’ project as

per EIA Notification 2006 and its subsequent amendments. The lease area falls under Survey of

India Topo-sheet no. 55K/15 and lies between Latitudes 21° 29' 57.810" N to 21° 29' 32.541" N &

Longitudes 78° 53' 39.245" E to 78° 54' 5.703" E.

Letter of Intent is issued by gov of Maharashtra numbered MMN-0915/CN99/industry-9 on 18 Jan

2016. The existing project is located at Kh No. 251, 253, 254, 255, 259, 267, 268, 269, 271, 272 in




Kawatha Village, Tehsil Saoner, District Nagpur, Maharashtra. It is proposed to produce 4900TPA

stone from the mine by opencast manual method of mining.

(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

Manganese is abundantly available in the area. It is needed as a mandatory material in many

industries.The occurrence of Manganese in the area is proved by the way of geological exploration

and its production has important role in the local infrastructure development. The proposed

Manganese mine will also marginally benefit the local people by way of direct and indirect

employment. State Government is also benefitted by the mining through royalty.

(iv) Demand-Supply Gap

India is the fifth largest producer of Manganese & stands second in world considering total

reserves of Manganese. Production of Manganese in India has gone down in last 4 years (Fig1).

Following are some uses of Manganese;

1.Oxidizing agent in steel industry

2.Dry Battery as Depolarizer 3.Used in the manufacture of

a. Ferro Manganese (70-74% Mn.) b. Silico Manganese (60-65% Mn.) c. Chrome Manganese (20- 25% Mn.)

4.Preparation of Organic and Inorganic Chemicals. 5.In Paints, Pigments, Ceramics and Ferrites. 6.As Micro-nutrients in Fertilizer and animal Feed. Apart from these Mn is used in welding fluxes & as fuel addative.

Decreasing production and considering the need of Manganese in above mentioned industries,

there is need of more production of Manganese in India.

(iv) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart showing

the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given)

a. Major Mineral-ManganeseOpen Cast Mining

The mining will be carried out by manual opencast method, which includes excavation by drilling

and blasting, loading and transportation, stacking and finally dispatch by tippers. The annual

Manganese production capacity of the mine will be 4900 per annum.This is a newly proposed

having area 26.67 Ha. Top soil is present in patches and it will be removed and spread in the

safety zone for plantation purpose. Maximum 6074 m3 Overburden (murrum + Soil) will be

generated during mining. Mined out Manganese from the mine will be transported to the nearby

crusher unit for sizing and screening. No crusher is proposed within lease area. After size

reduction and screening, the Manganes will be transported to the buyer's location.




MINING METHODOLOGY PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM

b. Proposed Infrastructure:

The proposed infrastructure will consist of Mine office, first aid center, drinking water facility, rest

shelter and approachroad network. Water for dust suppression and plantation will be provided

from rainwater accumulated in mine pits (when available) and from nearby villages by tanker.

Electricity will be obtained from MSEB grid or DG Set.

All the public facilities, like school, hospital, dispensary & Post Office etc. are available in nearby

villages and Saoner town.

(v) Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of

final product/s, Mode of transport of raw Material and Finished Product

No, major raw materials will be required during mining of Manganese mineral. But there will be

requirement of some essential materials like explosive for blasting which will be sourced from

licensed explosive dealers, electricity which will be taken from MSEB grid/ DG set, diesel

requirement will be fulfilled from the nearby filling station and the water requirement of 25KLD for

drinking, dust suppression & plantation will be fulfilled from the nearby village through borewell,

well, tanker and mine water (when available). After excavation of Manganese, it will be transported

to the nearby crusher (not in the Mine Lease) for screening and sizing, after that it will be directly

sold in the open market.

(vi) Resource optimization/ recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should

be briefly outlined

Opencast mining will recover the maximum Manganese mineral from the deposit and mining will

be done as per the DGMS guidelines with due concern for safety & conservation.

The resources namely diesel, explosive, water and electricity will also be utilized in the optimal

manner with due regards to safety.A water reservoir will be developed in the lower benches of the

mined out pit. It would also act as groundwater recharge structure. This will also be useful for

rainwater harvesting. This will improve the water table.Plantation will be developed in 7.5 m safety

zone as well as near office etc. and on the top benches of the mined out pit. The water reservoir

can be used by nearby farmers for irrigation. In post mining stage, the mining area may be

developed as a water reservoir and plantation.

(vii) Availability of water its source, Energy/ power requirement and source should be

given

The amount of water required during mining and related activities would be around 25KLD. This

demand will be fulfilled with the help of bore well, tanker water from nearby village and mine water

(when available). The diesel requirement (40-45 liters) will be sourced from nearby diesel filling

station.

(viii) Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their

Management/disposal

Solid Waste: About 3530cu.m. waste rock/rejects will be generated from mine during first five

year of mining. The solid waste that will be generated from the mining activity will be stacked in

non-mineralized zone within mining lease area so that it can be used for partial backfilling of mined

out pit after completion of mining activity in future. Around 6074 cum of OB (Murrum + Soil) will be

generated during mining plan period, which will be spread in the safety zone and plantation will be

carried out over it.

Liquid Effluent: Surface run-off accumulated in the mine pit will be used for dust suppression and

plantation in the mine and excess water will be pumped out by diesel operated pump and water

will be discharged through drain pipe which will follow the natural course of drainage. In the mining

lease area there is a small seasonal gully developed due to rain water is in existence. Apart from

this no other kind of water bodies are in existence. There is hardly any impact on quality of Mine

water and any interference with surface water sources is also not envasiged.

Waste dump management:

The waste rockgeneratedduring the mining operation will be stacked and dumped at the

earmarked places as per mine plan having average height of about 3 M during the plan and

conceptual period. The active dumps will be suitably stabilized by means of proper terracing in the

retreating fashion and after attaining the proposed height, plantation would be carried out. The

angle of response of these dumps will not be more than 450. Garland drain and retaining wall will

be constructed during the plan period. Slope stability investigations would be carried out in the

conceptual period to avoid land slide and develop the mine accordingly so that there will not be

any accidental hazard. However, for maintaining the slope stability of the pit, required quantity of

waste would be used for backfilling the partial pit before final closure of mining activities.

5. PLANNING BRIEF

(i) Planning Concept (type of industries, facilities. transportation etc.) Town and

Country Planning/ Development authority Classification

This is a new proposed Manganese Mine. The project activities will come into operation stage after

getting statutory clearances from concerned authorities. Further project activities will follow the

applicable rules and regulation and provide the control measure and devices to achieve the

standard norms. The mine will be operated by manual opencast method of mining. Maximum

production of Manganese according to current approved Mine Plan will be 4900 tonnes per

annum.Mining is proposed in 26.67 Ha mine lease area.

(ii) Land use planning (breakup along with green belt etc.)

This is a new proposed Manganese Mine. Mining activities with manual opencast method of

mining will be conducted in ML area for excavating Manganese. Plantation with suitable native

species will be taken up along the roads & on vacant unused land within mining lease area

progressively with mine operation till mine closure.

(iii) Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (Physical & Social)

This is a new proposed Manganese Mine. The proposed annual production duringfirst five

yearswill be 4900 TPA Stone. The mined out Stonemineral after excavation will be dispatched to

nearby crusher located in mining lease area for screening and sizing.The product will be sold in

open market through existing road network. 25-30 nos. of skilled, semiskilled and unskilled

manpower will be required.

(iv) Amenities/Facilities

The area is approachable throughout the year. Laborers are engaged for mining from the nearby

villages. Mine office and temporary labor hutments with drinking water facilities would be

developed. Availability of water and electric power is not a problem in this area. Electricity is

available nearby. Drainage of the area during rainy season is controlled by a seasonal nallas.




Drinking water is available through dug / bore wells. Most of the dug wells in the area are seasonal

having water up to the end of March- April. During summer villagers are mostly using water from

bore wells. The water from dug well and bore wells are unpolluted and hygienic. Human settlement

is seen in the village and surrounding villages. The villagers fall under low income group as only

agriculture is the main occupation of the villagers and the land is cultivated only during the rainy

season and having no other avenues to earn. Lifestyle of the people will not be disturbed by

mining activity. Laborers would be engaged for mining from adjoining villages and as such there is

no problem of human settlement.

6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

(i) Industrial Area (Processing Area)

The mining activity will be carried out within mine lease area and no mineral processing is

proposed as the mined out Manganesemineral after excavation will be dispatched to nearby

crusher for screening and sizing.

(ii) Residential Area (Non Processing Area)

There is no residential area within the mine area and no residential structure is proposed as the

required manpower will be employed from nearby villages having their own accommodation.

(iii) Green Belt

Plantation over an area of 0.2850ha (at end of 5 year period) with suitable native species will be

taken up along the safety zone & on vacant unused land within mining lease area progressively

with mine operation till mine closure.

(iv) Social Infrastructure

The mining activity will create employment for the local people. This will also create indirect

employment opportunities like contractual jobs, vehicle driving and shops. The project will provide

employment to about 25 to 30 skilled, semiskilled and unskilled persons.
