To,Respected,Member Secretary,S.E.A.C.,Paryavaran Bhavan,Sec., 10/A,Gandhingar.
Sir,
I, the applicant Dhruv Stone Quarry applied a quaryy lease of minor
mineral “Ordinary Sand” by the Collector, Tapi (Gujarat) on Tapi Nadi, Opp
.Sr.No.1,92 Ne lagu Block no.-A of Vill : Chinchoda, Ta : Nizar, Dist. Tapi,
Gujarat for the lease area of 06-00-00 Ha.
According to the direction of Honourable Supreme Court of India,
MoEF’s OM dt. 18th May 2012 and latest amendment of the EIA Notification
on 9th September 2013, environmental clearance is required to be obtained for
our mining project.
You are well aware that the last term of the S.E.A.C. and S.E.I.A.A. for
Gujarat State is already expired in July, 2013 and presently there is no
S.E.A.C. and S.E.I.A.A. for Gujarat State. Kindly note that in absence of
S.E.A.C. and S.E.I.A.A. for the Gujarat State, previous secretariat of S.E.A.C.
and S.E.I.A.A. located at Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) has stopped
accepting all kind of environmental clearance applications.
Para 4 (iii) of the EIA Notification, 2006, states that “In the absence ofa duly constituted SEIAA or SEAC, a Category ‘B’ project shall be
5
considered at the Central Level as a Category ‘B’ project”. In view of this
provision, though our project falls under B category project, we are required to
submit our application at the central level Expert Appraisal Committee for
consideration. It may be noted that the District Collectorate is neither granting
new lease nor renewing the Proposed lease for want of environmental
clearance. Due to this, we are unable to continue mining operations and
losing our only source of income and livelihood.
In consideration of above, we humbly request you to accept our
application to accord environmental clearance at the earliest.
Annexures :-
(A) Form No. 1.
(B) Pre-feasibility Report.
(C) Project Details of river bed sand mining.

(IV).Proposed Terms of Reference for EIA studies
We commit to undertake only controlled blasting for minimizing noise and vibration from
blasting operation. We request you to consider our project as B2 category project looking to
tiny scale of our project and negligible potential of environmental impacts.
“I hereby given undertake that the data and information given in the application and
enclosures are true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I am aware that if any part of
the data and information submitted is found to be false or misleading at any stage, the
project will be rejected and clearance given, if any project will be revoked at our risk and
