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

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:
Between Latitude N23°43'29.37" To N23°43'46.47"
Between Longitude E86°47'88.68" To E86°48'12.56"
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.

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.

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.

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.

Report of hydrologicalstudy carried out in the area may also be submitted. The water balance chart shouldbe given. If there is potential of Acid Mine Drainage the treatment method should begiven:
Monitoring of water will be carried out involving outside agency. In this area no acid mine
drainage could be seen so no proposal is proposed for this purpose. However, the hydro-
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

CHINMOY DEY 30REGN NO. – RQP/RNC/122/2006/A
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
