2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.

Masonary Stone is used for buildings, roads, railway tracks (ballast), highways as crushed stone (gitty)

etc. Over the centuries

Masonary stone have been used in construction of numerous landmark buildings- forts, palaces,

temples, mosque, monuments, etc.

Color & Pattern: reddish brown colour.

Use of Masonary Stone:

Masonary Stone is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material. Construction Masonary

Stone is a stone which is composed of quartzite. More generally in construction, specifically the term

"Masonary Stone" is used for any stone i.e. quartzite, sand stone, granitic schist/gneiss rock useful as

building stone.

2.4 Demand-Supply Gap

Rajasthan has been bestowed with huge reserves of Masonary Stone. So far there is no problem as such

of shortage of supply of Masonary Stone in the state. The present hard times faced by the industry in

the state are in fact a result of imbalance of demand and supply of Masonary Stone in the market. Lured

by the high profit and margins of the trade, several entrepreneurs have entered in the industry. With

the advent of modern technology in the past few decades, the production of Masonary Stone has

increased like anything. The cost of production has come down and the speed and quality of production

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction


5

have improved a lot. Moreover, the reduction in wastage has also resulted in increased production. All

this resulted in supply of huge surplus to the demand in the market.

Masonary Stone has now become the cheapest and best option for the building constructions besides

the other uses. The demand of Masonary Stone has grown steadily in the past few decades. Through the

supply of Masonary Stone in market is much more than the demand.

9. Analysis of proposal (Final Recommendations)

9.1 Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people including

tribal population, if any, in the area.

No tribal population is exists near the ML area and in its nearest vicinity. Mining is the main industrial

activity in this region and the need of the mined out mineral shall continue for many years. The

proposed mining would generate direct and indirect employment to the local people, which will have a

positive impact on the welfare of the people of this region. Due to the proposed mining operations

standards of living of the people & socio economic conditions in the area will be enhanced. Total 132

trees will be planted in 0.33 Hectare land (within & outside the ML area) which is 33% of the total lease

area for plantation. At the end of mining operation, mining pit will be converted into a small water

reservoir, which shall be a gainful to the society. Proposed project will help in meeting the demand of

Masonary Stone in the region as well as country. Local and regional economy will also improve due to

proposed mining project.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Water Quality Management:

No water reservoir located in the lease area. The rain water will not accumulate in the working, which

will be dewatered by centrifugal pump of 15 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 30-40 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 mine 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. Proposed 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 proposed mining will be done by opencast method but some amount of noise will be generated due

to operation of Dumper, JCB and Excavator 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, JCB & Excavator,

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. Blasting will be

done during day time. Blasting will be avoided in the morning and evening hours, on foggy days, at night

time and at times of high wind velocity. All workers and other persons will be sent away in a safe zone

prior to the blasting. Drilling will be done with the help of sharp drill bits. Trees will be planted along the

barrier of 7.5 m along the boundary of ML area and along haul road 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:

Top Soil: No top soil will be generated. use in plantation.

Nature of Waste: The waste in the area is only fractured rocks of Masonary Stone, The total waste rock

to be handled in the five years is given below:


Year Waste (in tones) 2017-18 352

2018-19 378

2019-20 378

2020-21 454

2021-22 486

Total 2048

Maximum height & spread of dump: The height of dump will be kept 5 m. The total overburden in five

years will be about 2048 MT of waste. Retaining wall of rubble stone towards lower altitude side which

will prevent the spreading of waste and garland drain is proposed towards lower side of the dumps to

check the rolling down from the dumps/ to check the silt during monsoon.

Dumping Site: The waste is proposed to dump in 0.02 ha area towards western side in the ML area. The

height of proposed dump will be 10 m x 20 m.

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

waste water will be disposed through septic tank followed by soak pit.

Green Belt Development:

Total 132 trees will be planted in 0.33 Hectare land which is 33% of the total lease area for plantation.

Native Species like Neem, Khejri, Shisham, Babool and other trees which are native and more suitable

to local soil are proposed to be planted. All safeguards for growing trees will be taken care and if any

lost would be replaced. About Rs/- 10,000/- per year will be spent on plantation .

Reclamation Plan:

Socio-Economic Impact:

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

ancillary industries. The project involves no displacement.

Safety and Security:

All safety measures as per mines act will be adopted. Barbed Wire Fencing is proposed all around the

proposed working/excavation to check the inadvertent entry of human and livestock in the mining area.

A watchman is proposed for ward and watch duty for security purpose. In the period of discontinuance

the proposed watchman will continue for ward and watch duty. The safe working is proposed in the

supervision of technical and qualified supervisory staff.

Occupational Safety and Health: All safety measures prescribed under mining laws will be followed

strictly. All workers will 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.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The proposed working will be done by opencast mining method. No big machineries are proposed. Face

height is not proposed high. No tailing dam is proposed. Thus high risk accidents like land slide,

subsidence, flood, inundation, fire, seismic activities etc. not come across. In case of accidents, a well

equipped first aid station is proposed at mine site for giving first aid to injured person. A vehicle will

always remain at site for any miss happening.
