4.6 Soil / rock classification 4.6.1 Soil:



The soils of the district fall under the broad categories of red soil, black soil and clayey loam. Ochre is a natural earth pigment containing hydrated iron oxide, which ranges in colour from yellow to deep orange or brown.

The district exposes rocks belonging to Bhilwara, Aravalli and Vindhyan Super Groups. Deccan traps occupy significant area of the district in the central, eastern and southern parts. The Bhilwara Super Group is divided into Ranthambhor, Hindoli Groups and Mangalwar complex which consist Shale, slates, phyllites, limestone, dolomitic marble, migmatites, feldspathic mica schist and amphibolites. It is exposed in northwestern, western and southwestern parts of the district.

Terrain of the district is of broadly undulating nature. According to a preliminary survey, soil of this area belongs to the dark medium black, yellow and hilly category. In black soils, Rabi crops (barley, wheat, etc.) are grown. Brown soil is suitable for Kharif crops like maize and pulses and Rabi crops of wheat and gram. On the river banks, sandy and loam soils from the hilly areas are deposited, making these areas suitable for agriculture. All the soil types have good amounts of nitrogen, potash and phosphorus and are fertile.

5.5.4 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment

The area lies in seismic Zone II which is least active area for earthquake as per India Seismic Zone Map; however necessary precautionary measures will be adopted. No other accidents like subsidence of flood, tailing dam failure etc. observed during mining in the region. All the precautionary measures and safety rules, regulations and procedures, mining accidents cannot be ruled out completely. Following are the accidents



which can take place in semi mechanized opencast mining and measures proposed to be taken.

Fall of human beings or fall of machines from benches/ dumps/haul roads. Fire & Explosion in machinery. Emergency situation due to social reason such as public unrest, terrorism etc.

Preventive Measures: Creating berm on the side of benches/ haul roads of height greater than or

equal to ½ tyre radius. Minimum height of berm shall be 1.2 m and slope 450.

Minimum clearance of 1.5 m will be maintained between outer tyre and berm. All provisions of MMR 1961, conditions imposed in permission for Deep hole

drilling and blasting and use of HEMM, and conditions of explosive license will be followed.

Fire fighting equipment in the machinery/ workshop/ office will be 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 which will be

submitted at the time of draft EIA & final EIA submission to be followed.

Training; Persons will be trained in the following:

• Training of protective equipment. • Procedures for reporting emergencies. • Location and use of fire fighting equipment. • Knowledge of alarm system and siren. • Evacuation procedures. • Training in first aid as per Mines Rules 1955.

Emergency Equipment & Facilities: • Mobiles. • Fire fighting equipment’s • Emergency medical supplies

Other protective equipment’s i.e. goggles, helmet, face shield, hand gloves, safety belts, barricade tape. First Aid box will be provided as per the provisions of Mines Rules 1955.

6.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE All the necessary infrastructures facilities are present the mine site. No new

infrastructure facilities proposed.



7. REHABILITATION & RESETTLEMENT PLAN Not Applicable 8. PROJECT SCHEDULE 8.1 Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (time

schedule for the project to be given) The Environmental Clearance has already been granted by the Ministry of

Environment, Forest & Climate Change, Government of India vide letter no. J-11015/566/2007-IA.II (M) dated 26/12/2007. Now the application is being filed for expansion of the project for the grant of Term of Reference (TOR).

8.2 Project Cost Estimation

(A) Estimated Project Cost with the proposed production is Rs. 2 Crore

(B) Operational cost

The mineral Red Ochre will be mined from the applied lease area and the cost of red ochre will be average Rs. 500- Rs 800/- per MT.

8.3 Economic Viability The anticipated cost of red ochre is Rs. 500- Rs 800/- per MT. Average sale value is Rs. 1500/- per MT. Hence the project will be viable.

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

Project will create direct & indirect employment opportunities within the surrounding region. Unit will use good faith efforts to employ local people from the nearby villages depending upon the availability of skilled & un-skilled man-power surrounding the project site.

In addition, the proposed expansion of project will enhance the prospects of employment. Thus, mining activities will provide numerous new, although temporary, work opportunities for both skilled and unskilled labor, as well as contribute significantly to the local economy.

Additional government revenue expected from royalty, taxes, duties and other fees.

An added benefit to the proposed project will result in considerable growth in stimulating the industrial and commercial activities in the state. Small and medium scale industries may be further developed as a consequence.



ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT If rain water will accumulate in the working, than same 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 may spread in the nearby area. The proposed deepest working is above the ground water table thus quality of water will not be effected by proposed mining activity. Water table in the area is sufficiently below from ultimate depth of mining. No toxic mineral is present, which may 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 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. Water spraying is proposed over the material before loading and transportation. Tarpaulin covered trucks will be used in transportation. Green belt will be developed to arrest dust pollution.

NOISE MANAGEMENT:

The proposed mining will be done by semi-mechanized opencast method and therefore some amount of noise will be generated due to operation of excavators, dumpers, tippers, trucks and due to vehicular movement. PUC certified vehicles provided with good silencers are being used and will be used for proposed expansion project also. Regular maintenance of dumper, tipper will be carried out whenever required dumper replacement for damaged/ worn out parts will be taken care of. Ear plugs will be provided to operator and mine workers. Green belt is being maintained and will also be maintained in near future also which also help in attenuating noise levels.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT:



Stacking the Rejects The rejects generated while sorting out the mineral produced will be stacked temporarily at the sites. These rejects will be backfilled in the excavated area.

Green Belt Development: Presently plantation has been carried over an area of 43 hectare @ 1000 trees per ha as per compliance of consent submitted on dated 17.1.2013. Total 86000 trees will be planted as green belt in the coming 10 years. Green belt plan explained above in Table 9 Part C. Apart from it at the end of four years of mine plan period backfilled area will also be reclaimed by plantation by planting approximately 6772 trees. Reclamation Plan: At the end of life of mine, total excavated area will be 27.0229 Hectare from which 6.7722 Hectare area will be backfilled and 20.2507 Hectare area will be left over for water reservoir which would have a positive impact by recharging the ground water table.

BUDGETARY PROVISION FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION & MONITORING In order to implement the environmental protection measures, timely funds

will be released as per requirement. It is proposed to invest total recurring cost of Rs 4.40 Lac per annum on pollution control, green belt and environmental monitoring systems. The break-up of the investment is given in the following table.
