4.7 Regional geology & local geology:

a) Regional geology:-

The area covers parts of Jodhpur and area is covered by alluvium and

wind blow sand NE-SW direction of longitudinal. Dunes trending in the

western and southwestern part of the area. Low-lying hills and flat-topped

plateaus. The maximum and minimum elevation of the area are 300m and

302m respectively from the mean sea level.

The drainage is represented by Jori River and a few nalas emeriging from

the hills. Jodhpur-Marta (metre gauge main line) of northern railway

passes through the northern part of the area. The main localities are

connected by metalled roads.

The rocks exposed in the area belong to the bilara and the Bilara groups of

the marwar supergroup. The palana formation is observed in a few dug

wells in a zone running from north to south in the eastern part of the area.

All the three formations of the bilara group i.e. the dhanapa, gotan and

the pondlo formations are exposed in the area. The dhanapa formation

comprises of chert, cherty dolomite and dolomitic

Limestone and is exposed in the western and southern part of the area.

The goatn formation is exposed adjacent to the dhanapa formation and

comprises aninterbedded sequence of limestone, dolomitic limestone and

dolomite and is exposed in the occupies a large area in the central and

19


southern part of the area. It consists of chert, cherty dolomite and

diplomatic limestone with some interblends of the Bilara group is exposed

near the Pundlu village in the northern part of area. It consists of gritty

and pebby sandstone with siltstone and clay and is exposed only in the

northeastern corner of the area.

The palana formation (locally known as kuchera-khajwana formation) has

been observed in a few dug wells in the eastern part of the area. It consists

of white to violet coloured kaolinite with angular quartz grains, loose sand

with lenses of calcareous grit and porous, fine to medium grained, current

bedded sandstone. This is overlain by pockets of pebbles, gravels, kankars

and the undifferentiated Aeolian and fluvial sediments overlying a major

part of area include sand, soil, calcrete grit and ferruginous sandtone.

Good quality limestone and sandstone are being quarried at several places

for industrial and building material purposes in the area.

4.8 Climatic details

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

rainfall (1971-2005) of the district is 326.8 mm whereas normal rainfall

(1901-1970) is lower than average rainfall and placed at 296.1 mm.

The rainy days are limited to maximum 15 in a year. Almost 80% of the

total annual rainfall is received during the southwest monsoon, which

enters the district in the first week of July and withdraws in the mid of

September.

Probability of annual rainfall exceeding 650 mm is only 10%. However,

there is 90% probability that the annual rainfall will be more than 190

mm. The probability of occurrence of mean annual rainfall is 45%.

Drought analysis based on agriculture criteria indicates that the district is

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

severe type of drought is very rare.

As the district lies in the desert area, extreme of heat in summer and cold

in winter is the characteristic of the desert.

Jodhpur is no exception. Both day and night temperatures increase

gradually and reaches their maximum values in May and June

respectively. The temperature varies from 49 degree in summer to 1

degree in winter. Atmosphere is generally dry except during the monsoon

period. The humidity is highest in August with mean daily relative

humidity is 81%.

The annual maximum potential evapotranspiration in the district is quite

high and it is highest (264.7 mm) in the month of May and lowest (76.5

mm) in the month of December.

4.9 Social Infrastructure

The infrastructure like toilets, first aid stations etc. will be

developed at mine site.

The nearest village is Sambhariya, health & educational facilities

(in the form of schools) are available there.

21


Medical facilities, Primary Health Centre are there in the area,

imparting services, for advance medical facilities. In each village one

health worker has been appointed by the Govt. to provide primary health

facilities.

Village people are availing drinking water facilities generally from

the hand pump, open well and tube well. The water supply is also supplied

through tanker in few villages & by PHED supply. During summer

scarcity of water has been noticed.

Communication services like post office and telephones are

available in the nearby village.

An occupational health unit is organized and the proposed

measures is adopted:

Pre & Periodical Medical Checkup program for all the workers.

Compulsory medical checkup program and first-aid box with

necessary equipment is provided.

Training for workers regarding occupational hazards.

Safety equipment i.e. dusts mask, safety shoes, gloves etc. is being

provided.

5.0 PLANNING BRIEF

5.1 Planning concept

It is propose to produce 3,70142 TPA of limestone mineral from the mining

lease area. It is situated in Jodhpur District of Rajasthan.

5.2 Population projection

Man power requirement for mining is estimated to be 35 Nos. Most of the

employees is recruited from neighboring village depending upon the

availability of skilled & unskilled people. Migration of highly educated and

skilled person takes place but it is on temporary basis. So there is

permanent migration of people, hence there is no population projection.
