2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT

It has been proposed to excavate approximately 4,34,330 TPA of ROM (Mineral: -

3,04,031 TPA) of Marble (ML No. 168/ 1998) by open cast semi-mechanized method.

The lease area is 4.0 ha. Total minable reserve available is 28,67,625 MT of Marble.

The expected life of mine will be 7 years. Total waste generated during the Scheme of

Mining period of the mine will be 1,99,643 m3. The mineral will be transported through

trucks/ tippers.






At the conceptual stage, the excavated area will be 2.80 ha. which will be used as a

water reservoir and 0.40 ha. will be backfilled area.. Water reservoir will ultimately help

in recharging the water table and also help in cultivation and irrigation. Water

requirement of 5.0 KLD for the project will be met by water tanker supply. The ultimate

pit limit will be 185 MSL at conceptual stage. The water table is at 40 – 45m below the

surface level (200 MSL) i.e. 155 MSL in Pre-monsoon and 160 MSL in Post – monsoon

season. Thus, ground water table will not be encountered during working till life of mine.

2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND

OR REGION

The mineral will be used in indigenous market. The excavated mineral will be dressed

and polished as finished good made ready for use.

The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas will bring about gains

in gross domestic product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the project but will

add to the gains in G.D.P. (Gross Domestic Product). Sales in India have increased on

an over the past ten years, exceeding both regional and global averages. A rapidly

advancing economy and rising standards of living have helped increase overseas

investment in India, stimulating large amounts of industrialization and infrastructure-

related construction activity. However, Indian product demand (relative to construction

spending and on a per capita basis) is substantially below regional and world averages.

The mining project will provide employment to local people. Applicant will pay royalty for

the mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect taxes will be paid thereby

contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue so generated will further be put

for use in infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education and social

welfare. The applicant will spend 1% of total project cost on the development of the area

i.e. medical facilities, schools, temples and other social work.

2.4 DEMAND - SUPPLY GAP

Rajasthan has the distinction of having the best among Indian resources of good quality

marble. Out of 32 districts, 20 districts have marble in one or the other form. The

important regions of marble occurrences in Rajasthan are:

i) Udaipur - Rajsamand - Chittorgarh region;

ii) Makrana - Kishangarh region;

iii) Banswara - Dungarpur region;

iv) Andhi (Jaipur) - Jhiri (Alwar) region; and

v) Jaisalmer region.






The total production value of marble increased to 1282 crore in 2009-10 from 1151 crore

in 2008-09. Rajasthan alone accounted for 94% output value followed by Gujarat and

Madhya Pradesh. Production value was less than 1% in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh,

Jammu & Kashmir and Jharkhand in 2009-10.

2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

Exports of marble (total) increased to 321,293 tonnes in 2010-11 from 275,502 tonnes in

the previous year. Out of total marble exported in 2010-11, exports of dressed marble at

251,567 tonnes constituted 78% while exports of other marbles at 69,726 tonnes

accounted for remaining 22%. Exports were mainly to China (25%), Nepal and Egypt

(13% each), and Italy (11%) Imports of marble (total) increased to 512,169 tonnes in

2010-11 from 431,022 tonnes in the previous year. Imports of dressed marble at

427,558 tonnes shared 83% imports in 2010-11 while the remaining 17% imports were

of other marbles. Main suppliers of marble were Italy (39%), followed by Turkey (26%),

China (8%), Vietnam (6%), and Oman (5%)

Marble demand in India is expected to rise. Ongoing industrialization and government

plans to expand and upgrade the country's physical infrastructure will fuel market

growth.

2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY

Marble production from the mine will cater to the needs of well established domestic

markets. There is a potential of the mineral for exporting after meeting the indigenous

requirements.

2.7 DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKETS

Domestic demand is one of the main reasons for the rapid growth of marble, business in

India. Thus, domestic market for the marble is well established.

The market scope for marble is found to be encouraging in local market with the

increased demand from construction fields

Weathered/Fracture Dolomite

Marble (below weathered Dolomite)

3.4.3 HYDROGEOLOGY

The occurrence of ground water in the district is mainly controlled by the topographic

and structural features present in the geological formations. The principal source of

ground water is precipitation. Out of the total rainfall received, a major part of it is lost as

run off and by evapotranspiration through soil and vegetation. Only a small part of

rainfall infiltrates down to reach ground water body. Groundwater occurs mainly under

water table conditions in all formations. The important water bearing formation besides

alluvium is the gneisses granites, schists, limestone and phyllites. In the hard rocks the

occurrence and movement of ground water is controlled through the foliation/bedding

planes, fissures, joints, solution cavities and other structural weak planes. The

weathered mantle of the hard rocks yields good discharge of water. In alluvium ground

water occurs in the interstices of unconsolidated sand and gravel, locally semi confined

conditions are encountered both in hard rock and alluvium. Delhi Super Group: The






formations belonging to Gogunda and Kumbhalgarh groups of Delhi Super Group are

exposed in the western part of the district along a north east south west trending. Lower-

Gogunda group constitutes mainly quartzite and schists and the upper Kumbhalgarh

group consists of mainly schists, gneisses marble and quartzites. Ground water in

quartzites occurs in the joints and fractures and in the near granitic intrusive. Depth to

water level generally is shallow. The yield of the wells ranges between 16 and 96 m3/d

roughly averaging to 50 m3/day. Groundwater in biotite schist and hornblende schist

occurs in joints and fractures. The depth to water level range from 5 to 15 mbgl and the

yield of the well varies from 12 m3/day to 250 m3/day. In calc schist and calc gneiss the

yield of dug well varies from 10 to 100 m3/day averaging to 10 60 m3/day. The yield is

high when the lenticular cavities along calc bends are saturated and are interconnected

(CGWA 2009).

3.4.4 MINERAL RESERVES

In this area the Marble exposures are bordering to the lease boundary. The mineral

reserves have been estimated by plan area method. Based on the experience and the

estimated reserves have been classified in to proved, probable & possible reserves. The

3.5.2 PROPOSED METHOD OF MINING

Mine will be developed by semi mechanized opencast mining which includes drilling,

blasting, loading, transport and dispatch.

3.5.2.1 Method of Mining

The mining will be done by opencast semi – mechanized method as per approved

Mining Plan. It includes drilling, blasting, loading, transport and excavation activities.

The salient features of mining method are:-

The height of the bench will be 6.0m and width will not less than the height.

A box cut will be made at the mine face with the help of wire saw in horizontal or

vertical direction. Initially block will be detached by drilling holes at closer intervals in

line of separation

The block of required size shall be removed with the help of derrick /Jib crane.

Loading and unloading on trucks will be done by crane.

Soil and fractured marble will be removed by excavator and dumper.

Extraction of marble is done by drill machine, wire saw for cutting of block and jib

crane for lifting blocks

The block of marble will be detached from the in-situ mass by drilling small dia. Holes

at close intervals, hammering wedges into them till the block from the in-situ mass

and splitting with hydraulic / air pressure. Toppling with the help of hydraulic jack and

excavator

The blasting will be carried out only as and when required.

Equipments like wire saw, derrick crane are used to produce and handle the marble

blocks. The thickness of the layer varies depending upon the natural formations.

Considering the stability of rocks the final slope or say ultimate pit slope will be 45°

from vertical.

Blasting with optimum charge of holes is used to loosen over/inter burden, if

required.

Haul road will be developed up to point of loading and will not have gradient more

than 1 in 16.

Transportation of the mineral from pit-mouth to destination will be by trucks.

4.7.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Potential Impacts Mitigation Measures

LAND ENVIRONMENT

Land use change Any mining activity may alter the land use pattern in the lease area. In order to

minimize the adverse affects, the following suggestions have been made.

Construction of check dams and collecting channel all around at the foot of

the hill to prevent soil erosion during the monsoon season and also to collect

the storm water for various use within the mine lease area.

Green belt development (0.80 ha.) along the boundary of the lease area will

be done. 0.53 ha. area outside the lease will be used for afforestation

activities.

The pit area (2.8 ha.) will be used as water storage cum ground water

recharge pit and will be utilized for dust suppression and plantation.

Proper barricading and monitoring of the water stored area will be taken up to

prevent accidents.

SOIL ENVIRONMENT






Soil is available in the form of

thin layer, which will be removed

and will be used for plantation.

Top soil is a valuable resource and used at the time of green belt development.

WATER ENVIRONMENT

Domestic waste water Domestic Sewage

The sewage to a tune of 0.75 KLD generated from the mine office will be diverted

to the septic tank followed by soak pit.

AIR ENVIRONMENT

Excavation, drilling, blasting,

loading and unloading,

Transportation etc.

Mining activities will generate certain quantities of dust during drilling, blasting,

loading and unloading, transportation operations. The following measures will be

taken to mitigate the fugitive dust from different operations.

Laying of haul road as per the standards, black topping of permanent haul

roads and service roads to avoid or eliminate air – borne dust.

To avoid the dust generation from the drilling operations, wet drilling methods

will be adopted.

Drill machines will be equipped with dust collectors.

Use of appropriate explosives for blasting and avoiding overcharging of blast

holes.

Controlled blasting techniques will be adopted.

Watering of haul roads and other roads at regular intervals.

Provision of dust filters/ mask to workers working at highly dust prone and

affected areas.

Provision of green belt all along the periphery of the lease area.

Periodical monitoring of ambient air quality in and around the lease area.

The extracted mineral will be transported from the mine pit to the end user

by adopting following measures so as to minimize dust emissions.

In case of long transportation the trucks after loading will be covered with

tarpaulin sheets.

Speed of the vehicles will be maintained within the prescribed limits.

Trucks will not be over loaded and will be maintained to the body level.

NOISE ENVIRONMENT

The sources of noise contributing

to environment in this mine and

surrounding area are mainly due

to drilling, blasting, loading and

unloading of mineral and

movement of trucks/ tippers

The major noise generating source from the mining activity is working machinery,

drilling, blasting and plying of vehicles. The following control measures are to be

undertaken to bring down the noise levels

Proper maintenance of machinery, equipments and improvement on design of

machines.

Use of personal protective devices i.e., earmuffs and earplugs by workers,

working in high noise areas.

Creation of wide green belts of dense foliage between mine areas and






residential colonies.

It is proposed that the proposed mine operates only ten - twelve hours a day.

Conducting periodical medical checkup of all workers for any noise related

health problems

Proper training to personnel to create awareness about adverse noise level

effects.

Planned noise monitoring at suitable locations in the plant and outside location

for proper effective remedial actions.

BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Afforestation programme with

precautions proposed for survival

and protection of plantations.

Post plantation care

Suitable protection by way of fencing and tree guards.

The dry grass has to be cleared from the plantation around trees and bushes

within a distance of 2 meters all around.

Frequent watering during dry spell.

Cow and goat dung to be used.

Protection from pest by spraying insecticide.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Employment Generation The following measures will be taken up to improve the socioeconomic

conditions of the area:-

Local people (36) will be employed on priority basis as per their skills

As per the compensatory afforestation programme minimum 530 saplings will be planted

in 0.53 ha. outside the lease area. The plantation will be carried out in consultation with

Local Forest Department.

However, in order to compensate the loss of vegetation cover, it is suggested to carry

out extensive afforestation program mainly in and around the mine lease area.

Appropriate plant species of different life forms have been suggested in the following

table to grow and to re-establish the vegetation cover and thereby provide habitat for the

faunal species. The list of plant species suggested includes the following criteria:-

Tree species which are well adapted to local environmental setting, tall, bearing

larger canopy cover and leaf area.

Tree species of different size classes (small, medium and larger) were suggested

to maintain the different canopy levels at vertical profile.

Fruit trees in the selection list would help to attract birds and fruit eating bats which

are locally available.

Wild species were suggested to provide habitat for faunal species, increase the

faunal species diversity and maintain the naturalness.
