2. iNTRODUCTiON OF THE pROJECT

The proposed M/s. Building Lime Stone Mine of Shree Menshibhai Jivabhai Vichhi. Area at near Village-Vijapur, Taluka- Junagadh, Dist. Junagadh,(Gujarat) has been granted to Shree Menshibhai Jivabhai Vichhi., resident of At. Junagadh, Tal.&Dis.Junagadh. Applied Area- 1.0000 Ha. Proposed Production-10200TPA.

2.1. Copy of Mining Lease/ Letter of Intent.

A letter of intent has been issued in Favor of Shree Shree Menshibhai Jivabhai

Vichhi., for extraction of Building Lime Stone, Near Village-Vijapur, Tal& Dist.

Junagadh (Guj.)., For The Period of 10 years Vide Letter no. GJ/QL/5424/5220.

Dated-09/10/2004.

2.2 Nature of the project:

Mining of Building Limestone is proposed in the applied area 1.00.00 Ha.

(Private. Near land), Village-Vijapur, Taluka- Junagadh, Dist.- Junagadh,

(Gujarat).Mining will be carried out by Semi-Mechanized Opencast Method.

Proposed Production 10200 TPA.

The Building Limestone Area near Vijapur is a hub for building limestone

Extraction. There are various projects for production of limestone blocks in the

mine. The building limestone industry is a thriving industry because of prolific use

of limestone in building industry. The project is aimed at producing building

limestone slabs from the applied area.

4.5 Soil / Rock Formation

Around Morvi and Wankaner area Sandstone & Shale of Jura- Cretaceous to

lower Eocene age. The Sandstone belongs to Sedimentary group of Rocks. It

occupies most of the area of NE part of Rajkot district, in particular Wankaner.

The Sandstone is pinkish white to violet in colour and Serves As a very good

aquifer. The thickness Sandstone exceeds 400 mts at some places and has a

medium to coarse grained texture. The Sandstones here are available in red, grey

and black shades with occasional thin coal strings. The variation in colour reflects

deposition from various geological provenances and hence variation in

composition. Stratigraphic Sequence of the Formations with their geological age

are given as below:

Land / Soil Characteristic

The Soils are generally developed from sandstone formation and are coarse in

texture with satisfactory internal drainage. The sub soil condition below the

Existing ground level is almost uniform in nature. Sub soil is Composed of clay

mixed with little fine grained silty sand, Moram and Kankar with Low Resistivity

due to clay and soil moisture. The area is covered with recent to Sub Recent

alluvial deposits comprising of brownish clay mixed with little fine grained Sand,

silty Sand. The soil below ground level consist of top silty low plastic soil layer

having no swelling nature. Blackish Brown to yellowish brown clayey silt or sand

silt layer extends to the depth of 2 to 3 mts.

4.6 Climate date From Secondary Sources M/s Building Lime Stone Mine of Shree Menshibhai Jivabhai Vichhi area is

situated in district Junagadh. Junagadh has semi-arid climate, with hot, dry

summers from mid-March to mid- June and the wet monsoon season from mid-

june to oct., when the city receives 500 mm of rain on average. The months from

November to February are mild, the average temperature being around 20 °C, with

low humidity. During summer time, the temperature ranges between 24 °C and 42

°C. In the months of winter, Junagadh temperature varies between 10 °C and 22 °C

but on a whole winters are pleasant.

4.7 Social infrastructure available. The infrastructure like, toilets, shelter etc. is proposed at mine site.

The nearest village is Junagadh, health & educational facilities (in the form

of Primary and secondary schools) are available there.

Medical facilities, Primary Health centre are therein the mine, 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.

Communication services like post office and telephones are available in the

nearby village. Some of the villagers are having mobile phones.

An occupational health unit will be organized and the proposed measures

will be adopted:

Pre & Periodical Medical checkup program for all the workers.

Compulsory medical checkup program and first –aid box with

necessary equipment will be provided.

Training for workers Regarding occupational hazards.

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


5 pLaNNiNG BRiEF 5.1 Planning concept

It is a mining project of mineral building limestone. The proposed production of is

10200TPA. Opencast, Semi- Mechanized method of mining will be adopted and

transportation of minerals shall be done through road by trucks.

5.2 Man Power Requirement

Man Power requirement for mining is estimated to be 10 Nos. Most of the

employees will be recruited from neighboring village. The laborers are provided

along with tractor trolley by contractor or from nearby villages. So there will no

permanently migration of people, hence there will be no population projection.

maintained. Persons will be trained in the use of fire fighting equipment and

mock rehearsal will be conducted.

Training of security personnel.


Procedures as laid down in disaster management plan to be followed.

Training

Persons will be trained in the following:

Knowledge of chemicals and use of protective equipment

Procedure for reporting emergencies

Location and use of fire fighting equipment

REHaBiLiTaTiON aND RESETTLEMENT (R & R) pLaN Since the project is private land, there is no reserves forest or protected forest land

within the applied area. There is no human settlements within the area so, no

resettlement and rehabilitation is required.

pROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTiMaTES a. Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (time

schedule for the project to be given)

The project activity will be taken up in parallel along with the opening of mine,

after the environmental clearance & CTE/CTO is granted. The production will

commence within two months of the environmental clearance & CTE/CTO.

b. Estimated project cost along with analysis in terms of economic viability

of the project

The project proponent will incur a total cost of Rs. 10 lakh and may vary from

place to place and with magnitude of the limestone mining. This will include the

rent/lease for land, cost of labor, cost of transportation, fuel charges etc.

aNaLYSiS OF pROpOSaL (FiNaL RECOMMENDaTiONS)

The project will bring economical benefits to the state by the way of royalty for

mineral and people by the way of direct(10 persons) and secondary employment

(3 persons) opportunities. Management will be helping nearby village by

providing aid to school, conducting medical and social awareness camps, helping

in formation of self help groups etc. especially keeping in the view the tribal and

economically backward population in the area as part of its corporate social

responsibility.
