INTRODUCTION

M/S Jagdish Tiwari has obtained sand mining lease at Mouza- Kapasara, Thana –

Chirkunda, Dist - Dhanbad over an area of 48.10 Acres (19.47 ha.) from the Govt. of

Jharkhand in the year 2015 As a matter of fact, the applicant was granted mining lease

for Three (3) years and has carried out mining operation.

The material to be mined is usually termed as sand which finds ready market in

construction activities like building construction, road, and other activity.

The Govt. of Jharkhand has made it mandatory to prepare and submit “Mining Plan”

highlighting mining methodologies of extracting mineral (in this case sand) as well as

outline the “Environment Management Plan” before application for granting of mining

lease and environment clearances can be taken up for consideration . A mining plan

apart from being a document for pursuing scientific mining suggest measures to contain

any likely adverse impact on environment and ecology.

While preparing the mining plan, due considerations have been made to ensure that the

relevant provisions under MMDR Act 1957, MMR 1961 and Mines Act 1952 as well as

mines rules 1955 are adhered to.

The relevant provisions of rules and regulations as well as guidelines framed by the

Govt. of Jharkhand for mining of minor minerals have been kept in mind while preparing

the ‘Mining Plan’.

The ‘Mining plan’ preparation is broadly based on

Maps and data provided by the applicant

Discussion with the applicant

Help of standard publication , book , maps etc wherever thought necessary

Prevailing technical norms.

Though effort has been made to collect as much information / data as possible,

appropriate assumptions has been made wherever it has been considered necessary.

Required numbers of competent and qualified persons as per Mines Act, Rules and



Regulations as well as for properly carrying out safe and technically correct mining

operation have been recommended in the ‘Mining Plan’ report.

CHAPTER - III0.3GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION

3.1 Physiography:The mining lease area falls under Survey of India Toposheet No. 73 I/13. The Latitude &

Longitude is given below:



The Barakar River flows from the North West to South East. The flow rate of the river

varies with the quantity of precipitation in the catchment area. A major portion of the

precipitation occurs during the monsoon season i.e., from mid of June to mid of

September every year.

3.2 Geology:The deposit is river borne. The sands get carried out from upper reaches of River

Barakar during the monsoon to be deposited all along the river bed once the water

current subsides. As such, the deposit of sand is cyclic & replenish able in nature.

3.3 DETAILS OF EXPLORATION :The deposit in the river bed is up to a shallow depth. The exploration is carried out on the

basis of physical verification of the river bed all along the river bed coming within the

lease area. Now, the sand mining is going on in the area and it is found potential for

mining.

Future Exploration Programme:The river bed material will be replenished during the monsoon season every year. So, it

is not necessary to carry out further exploration.

Method of estimation of reserves:The entire deposit is in river bed. The estimation of the reserves has been drawn on the

basis of actual measurement of length and breadth of river bed falling within the proposed

lease hold area and multiplied by the thickness of sand bed which in this case is taken as

1mtr. The details are given below with reference of Geological plan at 100 mgrid interval.



Length in m Avg. width inm

Avg. Thickness in m Volume in Cum

474 390 3 554580

Geological Reserves and grade:

The total reserves as estimated within the leasehold are at present approximately 554580

cum and Quantity of extracted river sand will be replenished every year after monsoon.The

extractable reserves will be realized after leaving out 1/5th of the width of the river in order to

protect the river banks. Therefore the total extractable reserves will be 80% of the total

reserves i.e. 0.8X554580= 443664 cum.

However, the total production capacity from the existing area is only 443664 Cum/A. Hence

this will be the mineable reserve. The mining will be done only upto a depth of 3meter.

Anticipated life of the mine:

The reserve estimated above will replenish every year. So, the life of the mine will be for the

entire lease period.

Feasibility study based on the geographical conditions and operating conditions:

Infrastructure: Road is near to the working site. Manpower is cheaply available.

Geology: Geologically the area is potential and the deposit is sufficient for fulfillment of the

requirement.

Legal matters: Leasehold area is valid as per the rule of M.C.R. 1960. There will be no

displacement. Land is GM land.

Operating: The applicant has all the mining equipment’s used for the scientific mining. The

mine is eco-friendly.

CHAPTER – IV0.4MINING

4.1 Year wise development:

No development work is required as the mining is for river bed sand. Extraction of river sand

will be done manually and transportation by tippers. It has been proposed to collect

approximately 476482 cum/year. The river bed material will be replenished during the

monsoon season every year.

4.2 Year wise production:

Sand will be lifted from the river bed for all the eight months except the monsoon period

from June to September @ 59560 cum per month. Proposed production for next three years

is as follows:

Proposed rate of production will be 443664cum at the stage of fully development of mine.

4.4 Mineable Reserves and anticipated life of the mine.

443664cum is the quantity of reserves estimated as Geological Reserves and about

443664cum will be replenished every year after monsoon. As such the life of the mine will

continue till the period of lease and subsequent lease renewals.

4.5 Proposed Method of Mining.

4.5.1 Opencast Working

Method for developing and working the deposits



The sand deposited as river bed material will be collected in its existing form mechanized.

Method of mining

CHAPTER – VBLASTING

No blasting is required for river bed sand mining.



CHAPTER – VI

MINE DRAINAGE

No drainage system/Nallah is meeting the river bed. Hence no precaution is required to

protect.



CHAPTER – VII

STACKING OF MINERAL REJECTS& DISPOSAL OF WASTES

Since there is no waste or mineral rejects generation in the mine hence no proposal for the

stacking is discussed under this chapter. The entire mineral produced is useable.



CHAPTER – VIII

USE OF MINERALS

Sand is said to have more impact on the strength of the construction. Various grading of

sand the size of the particles or granules of sand ranges from 1/16mm to 2mm. Based on

the size of the particles, the sand can be classified as fine, medium and coarse. The

particles of fine sand are much smaller when compared to the other types. However, each

of them has their own purpose in construction. The coarse sand is used for constructing

pillars and underground tanks, while the medium sand is used for the first layer of plastering

and other works. The final finish of plastering includes the use of fine sand. Pit coarse sand

obtained from quarries is used in the construction of houses in urban areas. It is filtered

when required for specific uses in construction such as plastering. Features of good quality

sand like any other material, there are certain features that determine the quality of sand.

Good quality sand should not possess more than 4% of silt content. It should have natural

and crushed stone sand.



CHAPTER – IX

OTHERSThe entire operation will be on contract and the supervision will be done by the applicant. It

is providing employment to the local people who are engaged for the sand mining

operations. It also enhances commercial activities by engagement of local truck owners,

maintenance activities and other related activities. The entire operations as discussed

above are stepping up the socio-economic condition of the nearby areas.

CHAPTER – XI

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

11.0 A Key Plan as per Rule 28(5)(a) on a scale of 1:50000 has been prepared

incorporating boundary of the mining lease and adjoining area lying within five kilometers

there of contours, natural drainage system, roadways, forests, village boundary,

predominant wind direction (Plate 1).

An Environment Plan of the area of mining lease inclusive of the adjoining area within five

hundred meters of the boundary of the lease area on 1:5000 scale incorporating the

boundary of the mining lease, contour lines, roadways, forests, predominant wind direction,

air and water sampling point has been prepared under Rule 28(5)(b) – Plate No. 06.

11.1 Existing Land Use Pattern :Land Use Pattern:

Summary Area (in Ha)

Government Land 19.47

The land use of the mine lease area is the river bed of River Barakar and there will be no

change in land use after operation. The sand will be replenished every year during the

monsoon season. The ultimate land use of the mine lease area will not be change.

Water Regime:The Barakar River flows from the north-western to south-eastern. The flow rate of the river

varies with the quantity of precipitation in the catchment area. A major portion of the

precipitation occurs during the monsoon season i.e., from June 15 to September 15 every

year. There will be no change in the water course of the river as well as any pumping/

withdrawal of water from the river. In the proposed project there is no need of water to carry

out operations but drinking water will be required for the working people. It will be provided

by the management.

Human Settlement and Demographic Profile:There is no village settlement within 500 m of the lease area. The living conditions of the

people residing beyond 500 m of the lease area is expected to improve by way of socio-

economic development of the region through direct & indirect employment, community



developmental programmes etc. However, this will in any way not have any negative effect

on the welfare of people.

Public Building etc:There is no Public building within 300 meter of the proposed leasehold area.

Quality of air, ambient noise level and water:

During daytime noise is produced due to movement of vehicles and mining machineries. At

night only the twittering of the crickets from the nearby fields and jungles can be heard.

No monitoring data is available in this area. Therefore air quality data will be obtained by

deploying monitoring instruments considering the prevalent wind direction, area of

settlements and the transportation routes as per the National Ambient Air Quality

Standards’2009

Baseline information of water regime will be obtained by analyzing surface water- upstream

and downstream and ground water data from dug well and tube wells.

Flora:Common flora like mango, jamun, Jackfruit and some bushes could be seen in the nearby

area.

FaunaDomestic animals like cows, goats and pigs could be seen. Wild animals are not found

except jackal and fox can be seen. Common birds are jungle crow, cotton feed, myna etc.

Common reptiles are snake and lizard.

Climatic Condition:The rainfall in the area is mainly due to southwest monsoon and nearly 80 to 85% of the

annual rains occur between June and September.Remaining 15% to 20% rain is distributed

unevenly, sometimes rain also occurs between January and March.

The normal Annual rainfall of the district has been reported to be 1000 mm based on data

from 1901 to 1970. There is a large variation in rainfall in space and time.

The district is endowed with typical climate with extremes in summer as in winters. The

mercury shoots up to 450C or even more during peak summer and dips to less than 50C

during the month of January. Winter spans from mid of November to mid of February.

Summer months are April to middle of June which ends with onset of monsoon.



Whether the area comes under notified area under Water Act, 1974:In fact entire State of Jharkhand notified as the Pollution Control area under the Water Act,

1974. By virtue of its location the area falls under the notified area under the Water Act,

1974.

11.2 Environment Impact Assessment:The sand mining activity will have minimum adverse impact on the environment; rather it will

have beneficial impact. The removal of the sand from the river bed will be confined to the

dry portion of the bed. However, the following areas are affected due to sand mining:

i. Dust generation during handling and transportation.

ii. Noise pollution

iii. Impact on river water quality

iv. Impact on ground water

v. Impact on flora and fauna

Some of the beneficial effects from sand mining activity are:

i. Regular de-siltation of the river to avoid flooding

ii. Up-gradation of socio-economic level of the area

iii. Vital support to construction activity

The baseline study of the various environmental parameters is being studied for one season

except monsoon.

The study area also witnesses huge transportation activities of minerals, men, material, etc.

The data obtained from the ambient air quality analysis carried out by our EIA/EMP

consultant indicates that for a number of occasions the level of air quality was higher than

the permissible limits which is quite obvious since the area has been declared critically

polluted area.

The surface water quality data shows that all the parameters are within range except the

concentration of microbial organisms. Moreover the ground water analysis data was found

within permissible limits except the dissolved mineral concentration level.

As far as the noise level is concerned, it is only during the loading and transportation of the

mineral. Moreover, no populated area found within 500 meters from the edge of the river.



There is no rare species of flora or endangered fauna in the study area. There is no eco-

sensitive area, wildlife sanctuary and national parks in 10 kms radius of the proposed sand

lease.

11.3 MANAGEMENT PLAN:This project is required for collection of sand necessary for construction. The sand to be

collected /gathered from these leases along the river will be sent to the site of construction

of various kinds of infrastructures, building bridges, road etc.

The project involves collection of river bed material. This will also help to prevent widening

of the riverbeds and to prevent flooding off and damage to the adjoining areas. This can

only be achieved by maintaining the existing course of the river. This is ensured through the

following:

1. Restriction of mining operation upto3mt and above ground water level.

2. 1/5th of the width of the river will be left intact for maintaining the embankment.

3. Maintain 500 meters distance as safety zone from bridges, weirs, etc

4. No sand mining during rainy season

5. No damage to the river banks.

6. Prevention of River Bank erosion by lying of boulders & pebbles.

7. Water spraying along the haul roads & transportation routes to prevent air pollution.

8. Maintain the health of the transportation roads.

9. Transportation by covered trucks.

10. Maintenance of trucks to prevent spillage and noise minimization.

11. Use of proper PPE’s for the workforce is ensured.

12. No withdrawal/ pumping of water from sand lease areas

13. This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society. It provides

employment to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly by the project.

geological study of the entire Jharia coal-field is given here.

Hydro-Geology of the Area

Ground Water ScenarioStudy of geochemical assessment of river water quality and its possible contamination

wascarried out with the objective of identifying the occurrence of various geochemical

processesand suitability of these water resources for irrigation, potability and other ancillary

uses bylocal inhabitants. Analytical findings were plotted in geochemical facies diagrams to

find out the variability in Barakar river water quality. The study revealed that calcium

andbicarbonates are the dominant ions in all the samples analyzed. The Piper trilinear

diagrams reveal that CaHCO3 is the dominant hydro-chemical facies in the Barakar river

water in thestudy area. The Wilcox diagram, which shows the plot of percent sodium with

the total ionicabundance, indicates that river water in the study area chiefly falls within

excellent-to-goodquality class. The source of the ions in the water was examined and

classified accordinglyusing Gibb’s diagram and the diagram shows that rock weathering

plays the key role incontrolling the hydro-geochemistry of the Barakar river. Water quality

parameters wascompared with the prevalent environmental standards indicates that, with

few exceptions, the Barakar river water in the study area is fit for drinking and irrigation use

and is free fromalkali and salinity hazards.

Depth to Water Level



During May 2006, the depth to water levels in HNS wells tapping shallow aquifer ranged

from 5.1 to 12.90 mbgl. Depth to ground water levels during the post monsoon

(November 2006) varied between 2.6 and 9.24 mbgl.

Aquifer ParametersA total of 6 exploratory wells and 3 observation wells have been constructed down to depth

of 200 m in hard rock formation to decipher the potential fracture zones with their yields.

The exploratory data reveals presence of potential fractures between 30 and 100mbgl. The

yield of the well in general as evident from the exploratory data has been found to vary

between 5 and 62 m3/hr. The piezometric level varies between 4 and 30 mbgl. Aquifers

lying between the depth ranges of 30-100 m have moderate prospects of ground water

development

Water quality assessmentData obtained by geochemical analyses of Barakar river water were evaluated in the terms

of its suitability for drinking, livestock and irrigation uses.

Ground Water QualityGeochemical observations, including major ion and trace element analysis, and isotopic

tracing have been carried out in the Barakar River system (northeastern India) during a

surface-water- and groundwater-monitoring program aimed at evaluating impacts of mining.

The most mineralized end-member represents anthropogenic inputs (agricultural practices

and ore processing). The third end-member, characterized by a high 87Sr/86Sr signature, is

believed to be controlled by natural geochemical processes, although affected by human

activities (e.g. drainage of mine waste). Potential flow paths, investigated north of the area,

reveal that all groundwater types seem to evolve more in pockets than along a flow path.

The limited extent of transfer and the predominance of natural phenomena help to explain

the moderate level of groundwater contamination and the characteristics of surface water

contamination by mining and the metallurgy industry.Suitability for drinking and livestock usesTo assess the suitability for drinking and public health purposes, the hydro-chemical

parameters of the river water of the study area were compared with the prescribed limit of

Geochemistry of the River Barakar
