CHAPTER-3GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION

A. Briefly describe the general topography explaining whether it is a Plain

land or hilly area and local geology of the mineral deposit within the

leasehold. Attach a geological plan on 1:1,000 scale with 1 m contour

intervals.

Topography

The area is almost a flat agriculture land and devoid of vegetation. It is about

0.5km from the village Ghodari in the north direction.

The maximum elevation is about 270 m from M.S.L.

The lease area has been surveyed on a scale of 1:1,000 with contour interval of

one meter.

Climate:

The climate is sub-tropical, semi arid, continental and monsoon type. Thus, it

has hot summers, cool winters and small rainy season.

Regional Geology

Regionally, the area under study comes under the Chhattisgarh basin.

Chhattisgarh basin is the largest Purana basin of Bastar craton. The craton is

several smaller basins like Khariar, Ampani, Indravati and sabari (Sukma),

besides many outliers like Keshkal, Singanpur and Chedrapal. Chhattisgarh

basin covering as area of about 36000 sq. km unconformably overlies the

basement granite-gneiss and volcanics of the Bastar Craton. The southern and

eastern margins of the basin have depositional contact with the basement,

whereas the western and northern margins of the basin are fault bounded. The

succession of the basin comprises dominantly of sandstones, shale and

12

carbonates with subordinate conglomerate and tuffs at different stratigraphic

levels. The strata are gently dipping at an angle of 2-10º, however, along the NS

faults. It is bounded by the Kotri-Dongargarh orogen in the west, Satpura

mobile belt in the north, Gondwana graben of Mahanadi in the northeast and the

Eastern Ghats mobile belt in the southeast. In the south, the basin overlies the

basement gneiss enclosing the Sonakhan greenstone belt. Chhattisgarh basin is

the third largest Purana basin after the Vindhayan and Cuddapah, and extends

for about 300 km in the E-W and 200 km in the N-S directions, with an irregular

rectangular configuration.

The detailed lithostratigraphy of Chhattisgarh basin is as under:

Local Geology:

The area around Ghodari village comes under Charmuria Formation of Raipur

Group of Chhattisgarh Supergroup. Charmuria Formation comprises of

Phosphatic limestone with shale inter-beds, cherty limestone and phosphatic

dolomite, chert-shale inter-beds.

The area showing a nature and extent of the mineral body

The area around Ghodari which is situated in Tehsil Mahasamund is covered

by limestone of Charmuria formation of Raipur Group of Chhattisgarh

Supergroup. This mineral body is homogeneous in nature. On the basis of

detailed geological mapping nearby pits etc of the area and lithology of the

area following sequence can be established:

Soil

Flagstone

A Surface Geological Plan and Geological Cross Section on a scale of

1:1000 are attached, showing general topography and geology of the area.

14

B. Describe briefly prospecting / exploration work done to date viz.

geological mapping with the evidence already existing about the

mineral deposit in the area or in the vicinity.

Prospecting / exploration is not required as quarry area is less than five

hectares. More over the existence of flagstone is well established on the

basis of working pit and worked out pits near by the lease area.

C. Describe briefly, exploration proposed to be carried out year wise,

for the next five years indicating same on the geological plan.

No proposal for further prospecting /exploration in the area as the

existence of flagstone is well established in the area up to the required

depth or beyond it.

D. Spot or spots where the Quarrying operation is proposed and

proposed maximum depth of quarrying operation.

The flagstone is exposed in pit in nearby the lease area up to a depth of

about 15m therefore the ultimate depth of the quarry area will taken

12m. The area is fully covered by soil. In the instance matter the depth of

flag stone has been considered 12.0 m below soil cover for the

calculation of reserves. The proposed method of quarrying will be

manual open cast.

15

CHAPTER-4

RESERVES

The applied lease area is fresh area .The flagstone is exposed in pit in nearby

the lease area up to a depth of about 15m therefore the ultimate depth of the

quarry area will taken 12m.Thickness of soil is about 0.5 meters in this area

below which flagstone is observed. For computing the reserve of flagstone

in the quarry area with volumetric method is adopted by taking depth 12m

this and Bulk density is considered as 2.5 tones/cum.

Geological Reserve of Flagstone in Quarry as on date

Reserve on fresh land:

Area (m2) x depth = Volume (m3) x specific gravity = Tonnage

5600 x 12 = 67200 x 2.5 = 168000 tons

Available geological reserve comes to 168000 tons

The above geological reserve calculation is done on the basis of depth taken

12m in fresh area .These 12 m depth is considered on the basis of old

working pit near by the lease area.

Blockage of Reserve

A. Reserve Blocked in Mine Limit(7.5m) in fresh area

Area (m2) x depth x specific gravity = Tonnage

2313 x12 x 2.5 = 69390 tons

Total blocked reserve in mine limit = 69390 tons

B.Reserve Blocked in Benches

16

1. Stone blocked in bench slopes considering the pit slope to be 450

= (Perimeter x Cross section area of bench) x 2.5

= 110x 6x 6 x 0.5 x 2.5 =4950Tons

2. Stone blocked in bench slopes considering the pit slope to be 450

= (Perimeter x Cross section area of bench) x 2.5

= 210x 12x12 x 0.5 x 2.5 =37800Tons

Total Blocked reserve in benches (1+2) = 42750Tons

Total Blocked Reserve (A+B) =112140 Tons

Mineable Reserve= (Geological reserve– Blocked reserve)

=168000– 112140

= 55860Tons (22340m3)

Recoverable Reserve = 55860 x 0.75(25 % quarrying loss)

=41895 Tons (16758m3)

CHAPTER- 5

DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAMME

Quarrying

a) Quarrying Method

Quarrying will be carried out by semi mechanized open-cast method

adopting a system of benches maintaining it to 1.5m as per rule 61(2) (ii)of

Chhattisgarh Minor Mineral Rules, 2015. Manual labors are deployed for

quarrying and handling quarry waste. Flagstones will be loaded by labors

into trucks and tippers. Trucks and tippers will be used for transporting of

flagstone. Proposed five year quarrying layout plan has been shown in Plate

No. - 5 (Five year development and production plan) and Cross sections.

b) A tentative scheme of quarrying, annual program and plan for excavation from year to year for ten year

The lease is granted for a period of 30 years .Quarry development work by

means of removal of top soil will be taken up from eastern part of the area;

simultaneously quarry will be started from this area. The proposed method of

quarrying will be open cast.

In first year of this plan period, development work done by removing top soil

over an area of 1293 m2 will be taken up. The total soil generation will be about

646 m3, which will be stacked on the lease boundary. Production will started

from northeastern part of area. The area of working will be 600m2 in a single

bench having 1.5 m bench height. Total production quantity of flagstone in this

area will be 900m3 (2250tons).

The Bench RL will gradually be reduced from the surface RL 269.5 m to the

bottom RL 268.0m.

18

In second year of this plan period, development work by way of removing top

soil over an area of 1993 m2 will be taken up. The total soil generation will be

about 996 m3, which will be stacked on the lease boundary. The area of working

will be 610m2 (385m2in a first bench and 225 m2 in a second bench) having 1.5

(b) Average rate of production : 2300 tons (920m3)

per year during Five year plan

(c) Average rate of production : 2340 tons (936m3)

per year during after Five year plan

(c) Applied lease period : 30 years

(d) Anticipated life of the quarry : More than 20 years

23

e) Conceptual Mining plan:

The estimated mineable reserves from this area are of the order of 55860

tons (22344 m3)and recoverable reserve (0.75%) is 41895 tons (16758m3)

up to a depth of 12 m from soil cover. The conceptual quarry plan is

prepared for the period of 10 years.

Ultimate pit limit is fixed keeping final pit slope at the angle of 45o. This will

cover about 0.233 ha area in 1st five year and 0.243 ha area in 2nd five year

plan period (onwards & below the 1st five year production pit). (Please refer

conceptual Plan plate no. 8).

This plate also shows proposed dumping and program of afforestation. As post

quarry land use, this pit may further be converted into a water pond and used as

a natural water harvesting system for collection of rain water. This will

recharge the ground water and may be used by local people

Due to the quarrying the generated over burden / mine waste will not be

sufficient to reclaim the working pit. No any type of rehabilitation will be

required in the proposed area because there is no any important monument,

structure or villages come in the core zone. All dump of soil will be used for

afforestation.

Exploration:

Exploration is not required as the lease area is less than 5 ha.

Drilling:

Not required.

Dumping of Waste materials:

Not required in conceptual period.

24

Afforestation:

Afforestation will be taken up in 0.231 ha over the soil dump along the lease

boundary in 1st five year plan period. About 100 saplings of the local species

will be planted in the proposed area in 1st 5 year.

The following table describes the area proposed for quarrying as a part of the

Conceptual Quarry Plan (lease applied for 10 years)-

Open-cast Quarry

Quarrying method is a type of manual Open- cast quarrying by a system

of benches. The depth of each bench will be maintained at 1.5m.

Loading:

Loading of flagstone are done by local labours.

Haulage and Transporting:

Mostly trucks/ tippers will be used for transportation of loadable flagstone from the area to consumers. Details of haulage and transport Equipments are given below:

g) Miscellaneous Operations:

Sharpening and tempering of excavating tools, cleaning the area of loose boulders, maintaining of quarry path, sprinkling of water for dust suppression, plantation and watering of sapling etc and also causal labors under the supervision of mate / foreman are the mandatory operations to be carried out during the quarrying operations. The quarry operation is always above the water table as water table is quite deep and there will be no chance of encountering the water table. Hence no arrangements will be required for dewatering the quarry pit, but in case of heavy rains and further seepage of water the quarry owner will have to provide a small diesel pump with the following specifications for dewatering the quarry working pit:

Motor : 5HPSuction : 50mmDelivery: 40mmTotal Head: 20m

Pumping Capacity:500 liters per minute.

26

CHAPTER- 6

MANPOWER DEPLOYMENT

State average daily employment and statutory personals:

The quarrying activity has fare chances of employment of local people. In this

quarry also about 18 unskilled labors will be required for quarrying of flagstone

and for loading the flagstones on trucks etc. At least one skilled person will be

required for supervision purpose, maintenance of record of production and

shipment etc.

CHAPTER- 7

USE OF MINERAL

Describe the utilization of mineral and type of industry.

Flagstone has the great importance in constructions of building, as it has the

property of taking good polish. This polished stone have a very good demand in

the market. The raw flagstone also has market to be used as “Farshi Pathar”.

Hence small scale mining of flagstone is a good source of earning specially for

local villagers for their livelihood.

27

CHAPTER-8WASTE DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS

a) Selection of dumping site:

The area selected for dumping is around the lease boundary and reclaimed

in working pit of the mine limit area. Location of the proposed dumping site

is shown in five year development and production plan (Plate no. 6).

b) Maximum height and spread of soil dump:

About 0.231 ha area will be proposed to dumping. Soil will be stack up the

height of 1.0 m along boundary.

c) Stacking of sub-grade materials:

About 25 % waste material will be generated. This sub grade material is

nothing but the broken pieces of flagstone. This is sellable material and can

be easily marketed by the mine owner. Hence it is proposed to stack this sub

grade material temporary in a suitable place.

d) Selection of site for stacking:

Not required as sub grade materials can be easily marketed by the mine

owner.

e) Height and spread of stacks:

Not applicable.

Quarrying Area:

The lease area is 0.56 ha. It is a non forest, non agricultural Private Owned

land. The area is flat agriculture land devoid of vegetation.

No any area of archaeological important structure, sanctuaries, reserve forest

is lying within 10 km radius.

Human Settlement:

Nearest village Ghodari is present about 0.5 km south of the lease area. No

villages or human dwelling are within the quarry lease area. So there will not

be any need for re-settlement.

Environment Impact Assessment Statement:

Quarrying in general affects the environment by way of breaking and defacing

the land, removing vegetation, generating dust etc. Following are some of the

major impacts of this quarrying on environment.

30

Land Environment:

The proposed quarrying operations will only be confined to the quarry area

of 0.706ha and it is not going to affect the surrounding areas. Inside the area,

the proposed production will be carried out by excavation and dumping of

waste material will be on the selected part within the lease area. The extents

of land use in hectare for quarrying purposes in each 10 year plan periods are

given below-

Air Environment:

Source of Air Pollution:

From the proposed open cast Quarrying operation, the main air pollutant

would be dust or particulate matter generated by rock/waste extraction,

handling operations, transportation.

Mitigation Measures

1. Regular water sprinkling to suppress the dust on haul roads, service

roads and mining face by sprinklers and truck mounted water tankers.

2. Grading of haul roads, service roads time to time, to remove the

accumulated dusty materials.

3. Proper maintenance of the earth moving equipments and vehicles,

checking of exhaust emission and imposing of speed restrictions on

them.

4. Avoiding of overloading of dumpers during the transportation.

5. Development of green belt along quarrying area boundary and soil

dumps.

6. Periodical monitoring of air quality to take steps to control the

pollutants.

Water Environment:

Likely impact of quarrying on water table

The area does not falls in notified area under Water Act 1974.The quarrying

activity will be confined to the lease area and there are no perennial streams or

nalas present over there. No ground water pollution will be there as the water

table that is much below the lowest mining bench level and rock or waste/soil

dump of this deposit does not contain any harmful ingredients, which could

leach down to pollute the ground water.

Details of modification/diversion of natural drainage system /Obstruction of water channels and measures taken

No modification / diversion are required.

32

Measures taken for minimizing silting and contamination of water

Not required.

Requirement of water for quarrying operations

Water is not required for quarrying operation. Although small quantity of

water is required for drinking and dust suppression purpose which will be

meet out from the bore well/river nearby.

Source of water

Nearby the area under study, Mahanadi river exist about 1.0 km in west of

the area.

Noise & Vibration:

No generation of noise and vibration as the quarrying activity and loading of

flagstone will be done manual. Transport vehicles may generate noise which

is within the permissible norm of limit.

Storage of explosive (like capacity and type of explosive magazine)

Not applicable.

Human Environment:

The contributing factors that affect the health of people are dust, gaseous

pollutants, noise in the mine. These are categorized as occupational hazards.

The various mining operations like loading/unloading and vehicle movement

involve risks and will have to be performed with safety norms.

Social Infrastructure

It is expected that the project will lead to much needed employment

opportunities in the villages which will contribute to the socio-economic

development of this area.

33

Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R) Plan

Not required as the area is away from village and free from rehabilitation.

Stabilization and Vegetation of dumps:

Dump slopes will be stabilized by planting saplings, grass and good root

bearing saplings such as local species. Retention wall will be made along the

dump to channelize the rainwater out of the dumping area if required.

Development of green belt will be maintained along quarry area boundary by

planting about 100 trees in 1stand 2nd year.

Sewerage System

In view of the personals engaged in the project the movable type of sewerage

system may be installed /deployed nearby the quarry area. This may avoid

polluting the land / water / air of the area.

Environmental Monitoring:

To assess the prevailing quality of the air, water, noise etc. a regular

monitoring of these parameters will be made to arrive at improvement/

protection measure.

CHAPTER-10

Measures to be taken for reclamation of land

Mined out land







plan period (onwards & below the 1st five year production pit). (Please refer

conceptual Plan plate no. 8).

Storage and prevention of topsoil

The topsoil to be encountered in this plan period will be selectively removed

and stacked in the area of 0.231 ha along the lease boundary. Further this will

be planned to utilize for afforestation purposes. For preventing of erosion of soil

a retention wall will be made along the soil dump. Height of dump will be

maintained up to 1 m along boundary.

Proposal for reclamation of land affected by quarrying activities during

and at the end of the quarry lease

At the cessation of quarrying operations after the extraction of mineral, on

the consolidated waste dumps step benches will be made and plantation will

be done. The area will be stabilized. Care will be taken to transfer the topsoil

preserved separately to put it back on the mined out area and the dump

surfaces along with the grass cover.

35

CHAPTER-11

Quarrying Closure Plan

Introduction

The area applied of 0.56 hectare falls between the Latitude 21°10'23.56"N, to

21°10'26.18"N and Longitude 82° 1'41.42"E, to 82° 1'47.13"E in the survey

of India Toposheet No. 64K /4. The area comes under Mahasamund Tehsil of

District Mahasamund (C.G.).

This Quarry Plan is prepared along with Progressive Quarry Closure Plan.

Land Use:







plan period (onwards & below the 1st five year production pit).

Method of Quarrying Operation:

Quarrying will be carried out by semi mechanized open – cast method using

wheel loader and trucks/tippers etc. the bench height will be maintained at

average 1.5 m.

Reasons for closure

Quarry depth will be no blocked and the quarry owner may exploit the same and proceed further deep.
