Shri P.N.Barot, Mining Supervisor,District: Kheda informed that above proposals are located in the river bed of Vatrak. He informed that sand excavation will be done only from dry river bed. Vatrak river is seasonal river. He also informed that instream (flowing water) type of mining is not practiced in the above lease area. It was also represented that no any bridge piers / water intake wells / irrigation structures exist within 500 m distance from boundary of any of above lease area.He explained that sand excavation will be done up to maximum 3 m depth or water level, whichever is less. The committee observed that the lease holder has proposed to leave adequate setback distance from the river bank so as to avoid chances of river bank erosion.Water sprinkling will be done during loading of material.All the transportation vehicles are proposed to be covered to avoid fugitive emission of fine particles. After discussion and detailed scrutiny of the proposal, considering the mitigation measures proposed by the lease holder, the committee unanimously decided to recommend the proposal at Sr No: 2 for grant of environmental clearance to SEIAA

of 26

with stipulation of standard conditions for Sand mining as approved in 232nd SEAC meeting held on 15th April 2015. For the proposal at Sr No: 1,committee observed that there is large difference between data submitted in the project details,Form I and data displayed before the committee during presentation. Distance of various entities shown in presentation appears to be unrealistic hence can not believed, hence it was decided by the committee to recommend proposal no: 1 for rejection to SEIAA.

Shri P.N.Barot, Mining Supervisor,District: Kheda informed the committee that method of basalt removal involves drilling, blasting, sizing of mineral, etc. Top soil will be stacked separately for green belt development whereas overburden will be removed, stacked and refilled in mined out pits. The proposal does not involve intersection of ground water table. No wastewater generation is envisaged from mining activities. Domestic wastewater will be disposed off through septic tank – soak pit. Arrangement will be made to prevent contamination of surface runoff. Proposed air pollution control measures include use of only controlled blasting, water sprinkling on haul roads, tree plantation in periphery and road sides, etc. It is proposed to convert mined out pits into water reservoirs. During presentation, it was observed by the committee that proposal is located in Mahi river bed and therefore cannot be appraised properly unless a detailed study is conducted by recognized institution to assess impact of mining in river bed on physical characteristics like river stability, flood risk, environmental degradation, loss of habitat, decline in bio diversity, change/ alteration in river morphology and other associated environmental aspects. It was decided by the committee to defer the above proposal and decided that after submission of aforesaid detailed study report to the committee, proposal shall be considered for appraisal.
