4. Demand Supply gapIndia is endowed with significant mineral resources. India produces 89 mineralsout of which 4 are fuel minerals, 11 metallic, 52 non-metallic and 22 minorminerals.The total value of mineral production was Rs. 568070 million in 2000-2001, ofwhich the value of minerals other than petroleum and natural gas was Rs.306751 million. The metallic production is accounted for by Iron-ore, Copper-ore, Chromites and/or Zinc concentrates, Gold, Manganese ore, Bauxite and Leadconcentrates. Amongst the non-metallic minerals, more than 90 percent of theaggregate value is shared by Limestone, Magnesite, Dolomite, Barytes, Kaolin,Gypsum, Apatite & Phosphorite, Steatite and Fluorite.The aggregate mineral production in 1999- 2000 was about 550 million tonnes,contributed by over 3,100 mines (reporting mines) producing coal, lignite,limestone, iron ore, bauxite, copper, lead, zinc etc. The aggregate value of themineral production in 1999-2000 was more than Rs. 452.3 billion. The value ofmineral production during 1999-2000 was estimated at Rs.452.3 billion towhich contribution from public sector was Rs.378.4 billion (84%). In the totalvalue of mineral production, fuel minerals accounted for Rs.372.3 billion (82%),metallic minerals at Rs.34.2 billion (8%) nonmetallic minerals Rs.18.3 billion(4%) and minor minerals Rs.27.6 billion (6%). The share of the mineral sector inthe gross domestic product (GDP) of the country is around 3.5 per cent whileaccounting for 10 per cent share in the index of industrial production. Though 80% of the mines are in the private sector, yet 91% of the production in terms ofsize comes from the government owned mining ventures. Mining employs over8,00,000 persons.

Around 9,244 mining leases are spread over 21 States occupying about 0.7million hectares which is 0.21% of the total geographic area of the country. Morethan 80 percent of the mineral production comes from open cast mines andtherefore, one must add the quantity of overburden to that of the mineralproduction in order to assess the total amount of annual excavation in India smining sector.

India is the world s largest producer of mica blocks and mica splittings. With therecent spurt in world demand for chromite. India has stepped up its productionto rech the second rank among the chromite producers of the world.

Besides, India ranks, 3rd in production of coal & lignite, 2nd in barites, 4th in ironore, 5th in bauxite and crude steel, 7th in manganese ore and 8th in aluminium.

4. Size or magnitude of operation: The total lease area is 13.25ha area and totalproduction is proposed 200212TPA through opencast method other than fullymechanized mining method.

5. Project description with process details:Earlier the mining operation was carried out by manual opencast miningmethod. It is proposed to carried out mining operation by Other than fullymechanized (OTFM) method of mining. The height of working bench will beproposed 6m with 12m spacing for safety and transportation. The slope ofworking face will be not more than 60o . Adequate slope and water sump will beat gradually developed towards south east of the working pit. As there is nooverburden hence no overburden bench will be proposed for 2009-2014. Duringthe 2009 to 2010 only one working bench will be developed. Medium levelintensity blasting proposed to be carried out for production of limestone. Largesize of limestone boulders manually sized in to 4 to 6 inches or as per thedemand. During the mining some quantity of soil generated from intercalatedpocket as normally found in limestone. A very small quantity of weatheredlimestone waste will be generated during mining. Under size mineral reject willbe of 10% of the production and generated during blasting, mining and sizing oflimestone. Drilling will be done with the help of compressed air compressor andjack hammers and helco etc. excavation and loading will be done with the help ofexcavator and J.C.B and the transporting will be done by 20tonnes tipper. Theproposed year wise generation top soil and waste for the next five year isestimated as follows:

with 250gms each and 100mm holes will be charged 0.75 to 2.5km per holes.About 45 tonnes of explosives will be required per year. The blasting will bedone on contract basis, therefore no need to install magazine at mine site.Reclamation/Backfilling: - no backfilling will be done during mining schemeperiod.

6 Raw Material Requirement: No raw material is required for the mining of limestone

7 Recycling and ReuseSub grade lime stone shall be stacked and will be sold off to retail end usersinstead of creating as dumps. To soil shall be utilized for afforestation andmining overburden shall be used for backfilling/ maintenance of roads.

8 Water source: One water Chanel-11 passing throughout lease area. Noexcavation will be done 50m both side of the water distrybutary-11. No water isrequired for the mining process. Water will be made available from mine pitwhich is accumulated during the rainy season and shall be collected in settlingtank for utilization in green belt and dust suppression. & nearest village Sarkiparthrough handpumps. It is expected that 12.0 KL water will be required fordrinking, dust suppression and green belt development activity.Electric SystemThe power requirement for the project has been met by CG State ElectricityBoard, which is available at near village

9 Solid waste management: Most of the limestone formation is already exposed.Soil cover is only few centimeters and seen in very small portion falling underthe mining limit, rest other part is completely uncovered. The generated quantityof soil and intercalated waste mineral rejects can be called as waste. During thefirst five year 1215cum soil & 44878tonnes mineral reject will be generated. Topsoil sprayed over the lease boundary for plantation purpose and mine waste andmineral reject will be stack along the 50meters mining limit left parallel to thewater distributaries and secure from washing with water during rainy seasonsby garland drain and plantation of grass and bushes over the dump.

vi. Soil classification:Local Geology:Lithological succession observed in the area can be summarized as follows:Recent Alluvial Soil/lateriteRaipur series light to dark grey stromatloitic limestone found onlyThe area comprises of calcareous rocks of Raipur series of Chhattisgarh supergroup of upper middle proterozoic age. Limestone found in this area includegray to buff colored limestone with feeble greenish tinage at places. Thelimestone of the area exhibits stromatiloitic structure and showing the elephantskin weathering. Limestone formation is almost horizontal. The general strike ofthe limestone formation is N30oE to S30oW and showing very low dip 3o to 5o

dip. Detached sizeable outcrops of limestone are noted in mining lease area. Thelimestone of the area is thickly bedded. The thickness of overburden that ismainly soil and laterite varying between 0.0 to 0.3m on regional scale, howeverlease area having extensive limestone outcrops, therefore the thickness ofoverburden of soil is almost nil.Physical characteristics of Limestone:Limestone of this area is gray in dark to light in colour, fine grained, mediumhard, thickly bedded and stromatolitic.

vii.Climate data from secondary sources:Meteorological data recorded at the nearest IMD station Raipur was collectedfrom India Meteorological Department (IMD), Nagpur.The climate of this region may be considered as extreme being intensely hot insummer and moderately cold in winter. The climate of the area is alsocharacterized by a hot dry summer and well distributed rains in the monsoonseason. The cold season commences from December and lasts till the end ofFebruary. The hot season follows thereafter and continues till about the secondweak of June. The south west monsoon season is from the middle of June to theend of September.


13

• Temperature: The temperature rises steadily from the beginning of March tillMay, which is usually the hottest month of the year. The mean maximumtemperature in May is 41.89°C. May and the early part of June, prior to onset ofthe south west monsoon are rather hot and the dust raising scorching winds addto the discomfort. The arrival of the monsoon air during second week of Junebrings relief, and the weather remains pleasant throughout the south westmonsoon season. The day temperature increases slightly towards the close ofthe monsoon season, and the rise is maintained in October after the withdrawalof the monsoon. However, the night temperature begins to drop from Octoberonwards. The day temperatures also begin to drop rapidly from the middle ofNovember. December is usually the coldest month while the mean dailyminimum temperature at 12.55°C. Cold waves sometimes affect the area inassociation with the passage of western disturbances across northern India inthe cold season. Average yearly temperature varies between 32.94°C to 20.85°C.

• Relative Humidity: The relative humidity is high during the southwestmonsoon, being generally over 80%. After the monsoon season, humiditydecreases, and during the winter season, the air is fairly dry. The driest part ofthe year is the summer season, with the afternoon humidity is generally about25% or even less

• Rainfall: Monsoon in the area comes from south-westerly winds. The averageannual rainfall is reported as 1134.7 mm, and about 87% of this is received inthe monsoon season. Rainfall during July and August is highest in the year, andconstitutes more than half of the total annual rainfall. The variation in therainfall from year to year is not large.

• Wind PatternWinds are generally light to moderate, with some increase in force in latesummer and the southwest monsoon seasons. In the post monsoon and wintermonths, winds are mainly from directions between north and east. In March,winds are variable in direction. By April, winds from the west and southwest


14

begin to appear and these predominant during the period May to September.Average annual wind speed is 5.3 Km/hr. The windroses at IMD, Raipur for theperiod 1979-1990 is given in Fig at 8.30 hrs and 17.30 hrs, respectively.

c. Green beltTotal hact area shall be developed a green belt with 1500 number of trees inthe barrier zone of the lease area.

d. Social infrastructure5% of the royalty per year shall be provided to the local gram panchayat forthe social developmental programmes on the need base assessment, whichshall be incurred as per the requirement .

e. Connectivity (traffic and transportation road/rail/metro/water waysetc): The Mopar Limestone mine is located at a distance of 65kms from distheadquarter Raipur and falling in jurisdiction of Village Mopar. Sarkiparnearest village is situated to the eastern direction is about 0.4km. The area isapproachable by an all weather main road from Baloda Bazar to Suleha.Nearest Railway Station is Bhatapara (BG) on Raipur-Bilaspur sector (S-Erailway), about 15 kms from the area.

g. Sewerage system: No construction or sewage waste is expected from themining process. However the domestic waste from the toilets shlla be giventreatment through septic tank and soak pit arrangement.

h. Industrial waste management: No industrial waste will be generated.i. Solid waste management: Most of the limestone formation is already

exposed. Soil cover is only few centimeters and seen in very small portionfalling under the mining limit, rest other part is completely uncovered. Thegenerated quantity of soil and intercalated waste mineral rejects can becalled as waste. During the first five year 1215cum soil & 44878tonnesmineral reject will be generated. Top soil sprayed over the lease boundaryfor plantation purpose and mine waste and mineral reject will be stack alongthe 50meters mining limit left parallel to the water distributaries and secure

from washing with water during rainy seasons by garland drain andplantation of grass and bushes over the dump.

j. Power requirement & supply/source: The power requirement for theproject has been met by CG State Electricity Board, which is available at nearvillage.

7 Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R) Plan: No R&R plan is required as nodisplacement of people is proposed for the mining project

8 Project Schedule and Cost estimatesa. Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (time

schedule for the project to be given)The subject mining project was earlier in operation and it will start again assoon as environmental clearance will be obtained.

b. Estimated project cost along with analysis in terms of economic viability ofthe projectThe cost benefit analysis is enclosed as Annexure-1 with feasibility report.

9 Analysis10 is of proposal (final recommendations)

i. Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to thelocal people including tribal population, if any, in the area.The mining project will create local employment to the villagers and they willget employment in non agricultural season.
