3. GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION

3.1. Physiography

The M.L. area under M.L. is having mostly undulating topography. The highest counter

in the area is 324mRL and the lowest counter is 300.0mRL. There is no public well with

in the M.L. area. There is no water channel bodies in the area. There are two small

seasonal nallas flowing in the area. The general sloop of the area is in all direction. The

rainwater spread out in the area & nearby areas. The villayati and deshi babool trees are

scattered in and around of the area. The grollild water level is moderated depth with

average depth of 60 to ?Omts below the surface and ground water is somewhat hard and

salt tolrent crops can be grown. The common flora consists in and around the area of

Babul (Acaciaratica), Neem (Azadirachta indica) and thorny bushes.

No forest area falls within the lease area

3.2 Regional Geology

The limestone deposit is a part of the nearly N-S oriented limestone belt of Bilara

Group of Marwar Supergroup that extends from Sojat in the south through Bilara to

Gotan in the north from where it takes an ENE trend upto Mundwa_ The general

The limestone deposit under reference forms a part of the Gotan For1nation of the

Bilara Group that comprises predominately of limestone with bands of chert, siliceous

limestone and dolomite. The Pondlu and Dhanapa Formations are mainly dolomitic

limestone and dolomite. Apart from clay, the limestone is free from inclusions.

3.3 Local Geology

In the lease area the lime stone beds, which belong to the Pondlu formation of Bilara

group are horizontal indicating the absence of any tectonic effect.

Following geological setting in the areao

1. Soil

2. Limestone (Burning)

3. Siliceous Limestone (Partly area covered)

4. Dolomitic limestone


The limestone occur as alternate bands with siliceous limestone, dolomitic/high

MgO limestone layer by lay-er which arc clearly visible from the old working pits in the

Mining Lease Area of Barana Limestone Deposit. Clay is seen filled between the

magnesianldolomitic limestone and the limestone horizons. The percolating surface

water, along the cracks and crevasses, has carried the clay, therefore its deposition is

found to the extent of these cracks and crevasses, as developed in the area_

The magnesian limestone can be distinguished from the h-igh grade limestone

(bun1ing) 1n the field, on the basis of its physical characteristics. The

magnesian/dolomitic liinestone is yellowish brown in colour with shades of buff. It is

medium to coarse grained, thi11ly to thickly bedded compact and hard in nature. The high

mostly gray to dark gray and the fine-grained. The siliceous limestone i~:·.(iark gray to

black coloured, coarse to medium grained, inter layered with dolomite limestone.

Description of the above formations is given below: -

Hard dolomitic Limestone 2.0 Mts




Partly area covered with Siliceous Limestone. It is waste rock to be removed_ Generally it

is of dark grey to black in colour. It often includes layers of dolomite limestone and

reddish in colour at places due to iron leaching often these have intruded into crevices.

There are seventeen working pits in the lease area. The size and litho units of various pits

4.MINING

This mining plan is prepared for the mineral Limestone of mining M.L. area of

66.25 Hects. is based on consideration of following aspects_

• Information of the deposit based on the geological and surveying field work.

• Mining method.

• Different mining operations.(Drilling, Blasting, Mucking and Transportation)

• Future production targets.

4.1. Proposed Mining Method

The limestone is overlain by Alluvium with kankar, so to extract limestone it becomes

necessary to remove the overburden as well as soil. Since the deposit occurs at a depth of

3mts and the thickness of the deposit is sufficient to be economically mineable. Opencast

semi mechanize method is the suitable method for mining. The mining will be done by

making systematic benches. Road and ramps will be made at gentle gradient during

mining as per requirement. The height of the benches will be kept 3.0mts maximum in

overburden & 3.0mts in mineral and width of the benches will not be less than height.

The removal of the O.B. carried out as first bench is advanced to expose the limestone.

The limestone area in has a top covering of soil 3.0mts thickness. The O.B./l.B. is

re1noved and transported with the arrangement of trucks/dumpers and heaped separately.

The main development work will be the systematic benching. This benching will also

give the desired production of the limestone. The proposed production of limestone will

be 2,70,000 tons per year.

6. MINE DRAINAGE

A) The lease area is undulating topography. There is small seasonal nalla flowin

the area. As per study and available data from the nearby water bodies the likely depth of

water table (Pre monsoon) is about 70mts below ground level and 60 mts after monsoon.

B) The mineral availability and depth of working is at higher level i.e up to 20 mts from

ground level There is no chance of ground water in the pit.

C) It is the only rainwater, which may flow inside the pit from the surface. The flow of

water inside the pit may check by oonstructing a drain trench all around the working pit.

However the amount of water, which gets accumulated in the pit, may pump out as and

when required. The average rainfall in the area is 400mm.

There is no river or nalla flowing with in the M.L. area. There is no pond with in

the M.L. area. There is a one well outside the M.L. area for water requirements. The rain

water is the other source of the water within the area_ The average rainfall in the area is

750 - 850 mm annuaily. The water table lies at a depth of 60-70 m ffom ground level.

24

\ _,,_,

c) Flora and Fauna-

i) Flora - In general the growth of vegetation is poor in the area. Only- wild~;-~'"'-,

vegetation (given with local name), which includes Kair, Khejdi, Jal, Vilayati Baboo( -/

Neem and shrubs with thorny bushes, are found around M.L. area. The average tree

density of such trees is counted to be less than 2-3 trees per hect. In this region (in

general) the crops of coarse grains such as Bazra, Munge, Moth and Chana arc grown.

ii) Fauna - No camivoros animals are seen around 5 Kms.radius because there is no

wild life or games sanctuary is observed. Sometimes Rabbit, Wolf, Snakes are seen in the

area. The villagers also keep pet animals like Cow, Goat, Sheep, etc.

d) Quality Of Air, Water And Ambient Noise Level -

The quality· of air is natural, clean and free from any pollution as there is no

industry or any pollution source of air is present in vicinity of the area.

The quality of water which being used for drinking purpose at mine and at around

area is good.

The ambient noise level is within specified limit, as there is no permanent source of

noise generation present in and around M.L. area. Thus it is quite and calm.

e) Climate Condition -

Desertic climate with large variation of temperature and scanty rainfall are the

main characteristics of the climate of area. The area experiences temperature variation of

40° to 48° in summer and 5° to I 0° in winter season. Strong wind blows during the

summer seasons.

f) Human Settlement -

There is no human settlement within the M.L. area. No villages are close to

mining area. The rehabilitation and resettlement issues are not involved in the project.

25

g) Public building, places and monuments -

There is no national monument, place of worship, place of tourist interest,

sanctuary, national park and any public building has exist in and around the M.L. area

which could be affected by the mining activities being under taken in this area.

11.2. Environmental Impact Assessment.

Generally the mining activity leaves its impact directly or indirectly on the

adjacent environment. The mining activity as described within this mining plan of such

scale and nature that nD significant environments unbalance is or can be seen. As a result,

no adverse impact on environment and surrounding is likely to arise and the post~mining

scenario will not be.much affected.

However, assessment of various issues pertaining to environment in the identified

field, have been studied and given below.

a) Land environment

i) Landscape - The impact of proposed mining on the landscape of area would be the

degradation of land by cutting of surface, stacking of mineral, transportation of mineral

adverse effect. Since the M.L. area is confined to remote area, whieli'.

populated, and there is no tourist spot, forest, water reservoir, wild life s

etc.within and around the M.L. area, so no adverse impact is envisaged on the aesthetic

environment.

iii) Soil And Land Use Pattern-The ML area is a soil with kankar covered, So this soil

with kankar will be used in plantation in purpose.

iv) Agriculture -AJI Land is Govt. Waste land so no agriculture land work is going in

the M.L. area

v) Forest- There is no forest land falling within the M.L. area.

vi)Vegetation-The area where mining operation and allied activities has been proposed,

it is devoid of vegetation and as such, that will not affect the flora within the mining area

and its surroundings.

vii) Public Building, Places and Monuments - There is no public building, cultural or

historical monument or place of worship exist in the M.L. area. Hence there w·ill be no

impact on them.

b) Water Environment -

i) Surface Water - The m1n1ng activities, including Waste dumping have been so

planned to prevent any of the disturbance to natural flow of water and also the drainage

system of the area will not be affected.

ii) Ground Water - The water table in the area is sufficiently below the ground level

(about 60-70 mts.). Therefore quantity as well as quality wise, the ground water in the

area is not likely to be affected at all by future mining activities.

iii) Quality Of Water-There will be no impact of mining on quality of water.

27

c) Air Environment-

i) Noise - There will be occasional sound of the compressors & Jackhammers and

operation of small capacity excavator and plying trucks/dumpers. To avoid this proper

maintenance of the m/c will be done and the earplugs shall be provided to the drillers.

ii) Air- Drilling will generate the dust in the air. This will affect the air environment.

Other than this, there will be some impact on quality of air at the time of machine

working & plying of trucks/dumpers may generate some dust, which will be under safe

limits. The applicant shall be use dry dust extractor if dust generation is more. Water

sprinkling may be also done.

iii) Climate Conditions -The mining activity will be such a small scale that there will be

no impact on climate conditions of the area.

d) Socio~ economic Environment-

i) Social and demographic Profile - Socially the region is backward. The mining

activities directly or indirectly will help in improvement of social behavior and living

status of the socially backward society of the area by giving better employment

opportunities. So ultimately, mining activity will cause uplifment of the social as well as

demographic profile.

ii) Occupational Health and safety- There will be no impact on health and safety of the

villagers.

iii) Human Settlement - There is no human settlement with in M.L. area. The human

settlement in the nearby areas is not likely to be effected rather it will encourage it on

account of possibility of getting employment at the mine.

iv)Recreational facility - There will be no impact on recreational facilities, as they are

not provided at the mine.

28

11.3 Environment Management Plan -

and to do so have following plan outlines. The effort will be made to mi .;:r

environment degradation due to mining operations in the area. below are the proposed

mitigation measures that will be taken to manage the environment in the area.

a) Temporary Storage and Utilization of Topsoil

The ML area is a soil with kankar covered, so this soil with kankar will be used

simultaneously in plantation in purpose.

b) Proposal For reclamation of Land Affected by mining activities during and at the

end of M.L. period

In the First five years, there is no proposal for reclamation of the land affected by mining

because no sufficient space for backfilling in the next five years.

At end of the life of mine total 34.45hectares excavated area, in which about 12.35hactare

area will be backfilled from excavated.

Total 5.65hectares will be covered along the boundary barrier and road for plantation by

the end life of mine

c) Programme of afforestation

Although the area is devoid of any forestland a phased plantation scheme has been

proposed in order to improve eco~system. It is proposed to plant 2000 trees every year in

the area near boundary line and along the road. The plants/trees are Khejdi, Jal, Babool

and Neem. So during the proposed five-year period about 10,000 trees will be planted in

an area of l .25hect area. The site of plantation has been marked in Environment Plan,

Plate No. 6. Proper after care by manuring, watering and pesticides etc. will be taken by

proper staff. The plantation programme, which shall be implemented during five years, is

as under:

Phased Programme for the plantation

Year No.Of Type of Plant Location Plant (for first 5 yrs.)

II 2000 Neem, Jal, Babool Plate No. 5 & 6.

lII 2000 Neem, Jal, Khejdi

IV 2000 Jal, Khejdi, Bahool

v 2000 Neem, Babool

d) Stabilization and Vegetation of Dump

Talcing all the safety measures will stabilize Waste dumps. Retaining wall will be made at

the bottom of the dump when it will be required.

e) Treatment and Disposal of Mine Water

There will be no make of water during any of the mining operation; therefore there

will be no need of treatment and disposal of mine water.

O Measures for minimizing adverse affect on Water Regime

The water table in the area lies at the depth of approximately 60-70 m. below surface.

So water table will not be encountered during inining operation. -Therefore, there will be

no adverse affect of mining on water regime_

g) Protective Measures For ground Vibrations I Air blast Caused by blasting The

scale of blasting at the mine is very small and that is not generate any significant ground

vibration and air blast. Therefore, there is be no protective measures are required for

ground vibration and air blast.

h) Measures for dust Control

The dust is generated during drilling. Therefore proper care is taker. by using dr)' dust

extractors to prevent the dust being air borne.

30

i) Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitatio ~mf'.'.~· settlements likely to be disturbed due to mining activity '"'~~~;:;·,.

't>:;:.c;,,

There is no public building, cultural or historical monument or place of worship

human settlements exist in and around the M.L. area. Therefore, there will be none

protective measures for it.

j) Soci°'"Economic Benefits arising out of mining

At present the major occupation of the villagers are farming and cattle rearing. The

mine in the area will provide regular employment to the villagers of the area.

1.1 Reason for Closure

The mine closes either due to depletion of mine-able reserves or due to uneconomic

mining or due to more economic substitute for mining product.

This progressive mine closure plan is submitted as a statuary requirement for the M.L.

area. Hence the aforesaid reasons for closure are not applicable at this stage for the

M.L. area.

Statutory Obligations

Various rules applicable under MCDR & MCR for reclamation & rehabilitation of the

worked out area, safe & systematic mining under 1961 before abandonment of the

worked out area and applicable rules for pollution control & environment will be

taken into consideration. The void created due to mining activities shall be properly

fenced and used as water reservoir.

2 MINE DESCRIPITION

2.1. Physiography .. · · .. · ·~ The M.L. area under M.L. is having mostly undulating topography. -The highest"~~~,,<:;:'-"'"

-«1:v"a•

in the area is 324mRL and the lowest counter is 300.0mRL. 'fhere is no public well -With

in the M.L. area. There is no water channel bodies in the area. There are two small

seasonal nallas flowing in the area. The general sloop of the area is in all direction. The

rainwater spread out in the area & nearby areas. The villayati and deshi babool trees are

scattered in and around of the area. The ground water level is moderated depth with

average depth of 60 to 70mts below the surface and ground water is somewhat hard and

salt tolrent crops can be grown. The common flora consists in and around the area of

Babul (Acaciaratica), Neem (Azadirachta indica) and thorny bushes.

No forest area falls within the lease area

2.2. Local Geology

In the lease area the lime stone beds, which belong to the Pondlu formation of Bilara

group are horizontal indicating the absence of any tectonic effect

Following geological setting in the area:

I. Soil


3. Siliceous Limestone (Partly area covered)

4. Dolomitic limestone


The limestone occur as alternate bands with siliceous limestone, dolomitic/high

MgO limestone layer by layer which are clearly visible from the old working pits in the

Mining Lease Area of Barana Limestone Deposit. Clay is seen filled between the

magnesianldolomitic limestone and the limestone horizons. The percolating surface

water, along the cracks and crevasses, has carried the clay, therefore its deposition is

found to the extent of these cracks and crevasses, as developed in the area.

The magnesian limestone can be distinguished from the high grade limestone

(burning) m the field, on the basis of its physical characteristics. The

......................... 34

magnesian/dolomitic limestone is yellowish brown in colour with shades of buff. lt is

medium to coarse grained, thinly to thickly bedded compact and hard in nature. The high

grade limestone can be distinguished from the above on the basis of its colour, which is

mostly gray to dark gray and the fine-grained. The siliceous limestone is dark gray to

black coloured, coarse to medium grained, inter layered with dolomite limestone.

Description of the above formations is given below: -

Overburden alluvium - LOMts.

Hard dolomitic Limestone- 2.0Mts.






Partly area covered with Siliceous Limestone. It is waste rock to be removed. Generally it

is of dark grey to black in colour, It often includes layers of dolomite limestone and

reddish in colour at places due to iron leaching often these have intruded into crevices.

Then mineable reserve~ 8480320 (proved+ Probable)- 386000 ~ 8094320MT

Total mineable reserves= 8094320MT

2.4 MINING METHOD

The limestone is overlain by Alluvium with kankar, so to extract limestone it becomes

necessary to remove the overburden as well as soil. Since the deposit occurs at a depth of

3mts and the thickness of the deposit is sufficient to be economically mineable. Opencast

semi 1nechanize method is the suitable method for mining. The mining will be done by

making systematic benches. Road and ramps will be made at gentle gradient during

mining as per requirement. ·The height of the benches will be kept 3.0mts maximum in

overburden & 3.0mts in mineral and width of the benches will not be less than height.

The removal of the O.B. carried out as first bench is advanced to expose the limestone.

The limestone area in has a top covering of soil 3.0mts thickness. The O.B./I.B. is

removed and transported with the arrange1nent of trucks/dumpers and heaped separately.

The main development work will be the systematic benching. This benching will also

give the desired production of the li1nestone. The proposed production of limestone will

be 2,70,000 tones per year .

3.0 REVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION OF MINING PLAN/SCHEME OF

MINING INCLUDING FNE YEARS PROGRESSIVE CLOSURE PLAN UPTO

THE FINAL CLOSURE OF MINE

This progressive mine closure plan is first plan for this area, hence this chapter is not

applicable at present.

The mining activities, including Waste dumping have been so planned to prevent any of

the disturbance to natural flow of water and also the drainage system of the area will not

be affected.

The water table in the area is sufficiently below the ground level (about 60-70 1nts.). The

proposed deepest working is far above the general ground water table. Therefore quantity

as well as quality wise, the ground water in the area is not likely to be affected at all by

future mining activities.

37

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 proposed deepest working is above the ground water table thus quality of water w·

not decrease by proposed mining.

The rain water will accumulate in the working, which will be dewatered by centrifugal

pump of 20 H.P. The dewatering is proposed through a sump made in the bottom of the

pit to check the silt, which may spread in nearby area.

4.3 AIR QUALITY SURVEY

The Quality of air is free from any pollution at this time, as there is no major source of

polluting the air with in the area or nearby the area. During the summer air becomes a

little dusty. There is no source of air-deterioration in this region and therefore ambient air

quality in the area as well as in the region of 5.0km radius is natural and pure.

4.4 WASTE MANAGEMENT

Soil with kankar: - The soil with kankar spread most of the area having thickness of

l .Omts and is friable, moist in nature.

Dolomatic limestone: - Below the grit and kankar a Dolomatic limestone having

thickness of2.0mts and is friable, moist in nature.

Sub grade: - About 10% of mineral is sub grade.

The O.B./waste, and sub grade are generated during the five period of the mining plan are

given as below: ·

near boundary pillar B', Waste will be stacked over an area about 2.15hect with 6m

height as shown in the Progressi\.re Mine Closure Plan plate No. 8.

Stacking of Subgrade Mineral

38

Sub grade will be stacked separately and will not be mixed with O.B./waste and will be

backfilled. Retaining wall will be provided around the sub grade to prevent wash off &

spreads of the sub grade. Sub grade stack in next five years will be stacked inside the

lease area.

4.5 Top Soil Management

The ML area is a soil with kankar covered, so this soil with kankar will be used

simultaneously in plantation in purpose.

4.6 Tailing Dam Management

No Tailing dam is proposed hence this paragraph is not applicable.

4.7 Infrastructure

Existence of public road I railway, if any nearby and approximate distance -

Barana Limestone Deposit is situated on the Bilara- Sojat City road (Major State

Road), 15 km from Bilara. Bilara is approximately 80 km SEE of District HQ Jodhpur

and at about 64 km north of Pali. The limestone deposit is well connected to Jodhpur,

Beawar, Pali, Sojat city and Ajmer. Sojat City is on the NH-14 (Beawar-Pali-Sirohi

Kandla) which joins NH-65 (Ambala-Hissar-Churu-Pali) near Pali and NH-8 (Delhi~

Jaipur-Ajmer-Udaipur-Ahmedabad-Mumbai) at Beawar. The nearest Airport is Jodhpur

and the nearest Sea port is Kand.la in Gujarat which is approximately 600 km. The

Beawar-Kandla National Highway passes through Sojat City, which is 45 km from the

Barana~Harsh Limestone Deposit.

Bilara is the nearest rail head, about 15 km from the deposit on the Jodbpur-Pipar

City-Bilara broad gauge section of the North-western Railway

4.8 Disposal of Mining Machineries

No machinery is proposed to disposed off during the period of this progressive mine

ciosure plan. The machineries, which will be deployed at mines during the period of

proposed five years, will also not dispose off during five years.

39

4.9 Safety and Security

For safety purpose the following proposals are proposed: -

Barbed wire fencing is proposed around the proposed excavation to check the inadvertent

entry of human and livestock in the mining area (excavation).

A watchman is employed for ward and watch duty. In the period of discontinuance the

watchman is proposed to continue for ward and watch duty. The watchman will not allow

any general public person and livestock near the deep cuttings of the proposed workings.

The safe workings are proposed in the supervision of technical and qualified supervisory

staff. Safety measures will be provided as per Mines Act.

4.10 Disaster Management and Assessment

It is a working tnine. The proposed working will be opencast m1n1ng method.

Underground mining is not proposed. 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 ac-cident a well-equipped first aid station will be provided at mine site for

giving first aid to injured persons. The area is near the state highway and vehicles on this

highway with good frequency. The lessee vehicle also remains at site most of the time

during working. The applicant is capable to meet any type of risk_

4.11 Care and maintenance during temporary discontinuance:

In case of temporary discontinuance or if mine closes temporarily, than the mining

working will be in the watch ofa watchman. Before re-open of the mine the maintenance

will be provided to all the machineries deployed at mine. Before entering the labourers

into mine workings/faces the w·orkings and faces are proposed to inspect by Mines

Manager for safety purpose as per Mines Act.

.............................. 4.0. .................................................... .

5 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND

MANPOWER RETRENCHMENTS

5.1 Number of Local Residents Employed

As per proposed mining plan total 15 workers (unskilled) and 4 supervisory staff

(technically qualified) are proposed to be employed. The labourers will be employed

from nearby village. Some local habitants of the area will get indirect job from the mining

activities and by transportation etc.

Compensation

The compensation to the employees with sustenance of himself and their family members

will be provided as per Labour law and Mines Act.

5.3 Satellite occupations connected with mining activity:

The mining activities have been instrumental in raising the economic status of

nearby area and people have already started setting in other professional like agriculture

and jobs not related to mining.

5.4 Continued engagement of employment in the rehabilitated, status of mining lease

area and any other remnant activities:

Not applicable in this progressive mine closure plan

5.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to closure

of mine:

This paragraph belongs to final closure of the mine and not related with this

Progressive Mine Closure Plan .
