1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

M/S Alatge Stone Crushing Industries has got grant for Mining Lease vide Letter

No. MMN/1098/42461/75102/Desk-4 dated 03/06/2000 over an area of 77.37

Ha in Karivane Village, Shriwardhan Taluka of Raigad District of Maharashtra

State to mine the Bauxite.

M/S Alatge Stone Crushing Industries the project proponent is a Partnership

firm having registered office in Raigad District.

The Karivane Deposit is located towards ESE of Shriwardhan town of Raigad

District of Maharashtra State. The bauxite zone is usually occurs sandwiched

between the overlying Laterite and underlying Basalt. Bauxite in the area occurs

in the forms of small pockets, thin lenses and tabular bodies in the Laterite

capping.

The geological reserves established in the proposed Mining Lease Area is 5,65,242

tonnes and the extractable reserves of Bauxite are 5,35,904 tonnes.

The area has been earlier explored on a Regional Scale by the Geological Survey of

India and Directorate of Geology and Mining, Government of Maharashtra, Nagpur

during the year 1970-71 and 1972-73, it is seen from the analysis results that

Bauxite from the area is quite suitable for alumina and alumina metal.

It is proposed to extract Bauxite with the annual production capacity of 1,15,000

tonnes/annum.

The proposed method of mining is Opencast fully Mechanized mine with drilling

and blasting.

The Life of the Mine anticipated to be five years. However during proposed

exploration the reserves are likely to increase and as subsequently life of the mine

will be enhanced.

Average depth of the Pits will be 8 to 10 Meters; hence two benches of 4 to 5

meters will be formed for safety factor. Bench will have a slope of 650angle.

Access road will be developed to the Pit area.

The Overburden is in the form of intercalated clay which is considered as 20 % of

the Total ROM handling. The intercalated waste will be concurrently filled in the

mined out area.


2

Total Lease area is 77.37 Ha, of which 50.19 Ha areas is mineable during the

Conceptual Period. And rest area is proposed under the safety barrier of Road,

Electric line, nallas, Green Belts are approximately 25.43 Ha.

The transport from mine head to the consumer is through hired tippers / trucks /

by road.

The minimum depth of water table is 25 m bgl. Maximum depth of the working is

10mts hence ground water will not be intercepted.

There is no possibility for encountering any ground water source during the plan

period thus no pumping is required.

The Savitri river is flowing 1.5 Km at the South of the Lease area. The dendritic to

sub dendritic drainage Pattern is commonly observed in the study area.

The climate of the area is categorized as tropical monsoon. Typical coastal climate

is experienced in the area . The monsoon prevails from June to September and

the average Rainfall varies from 2500 to 3000 mm. The seasonal variation of

temperature and moisture prevailing in the area is mainly responsible for the

process of Bauxitization/Lateritization.

The study area consisting of 77.37 Ha mining lease as core zone and 10 Km

radius around core zone is identified as buffer zone.

Bauxite produced from mine will be crushed and screened to give 0-100 mm

size. After suitable blending the same will be sold.

Man power requirement will be 110 Nos for Statutory Purposes, Supervisory

requirement and also required for loading, hauling, drilling and blasting

operations.

The Environment Impact Assessment and Environment Management Plan for

the proposed project shall be prepared as per the guidelines provided in the EIA

Notification 2006.

The power requirement will be met from MSEB grid. The quantity of water

required for mining in this mine is 80 m3/day. Water will be purchased from

nearby villages with prior consent & permission of the owner.

There is no National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary, Archeological site, Historical

places located within 10 Km from the proposed mine.

The total project cost for the Karivane Bauxite Mining Project has been

estimated at Rs. 3.9 Crores.

v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given).

The Karivane Deposit is located towards ESE of Shriwardhan town of Raigad

District of Maharashtra State. The bauxite zone is usually occurs sandwiched

between the overlying Laterite and underlying Basalt. Bauxite in the area occurs

in the forms of small pockets, thin lenses and tabular bodies in the Laterite

capping.

Sequences of lava flows capped by Laterite constitute the geological formation in

the area. Laterite capping contains Bauxite zones with lithomarge Clays at the

base of the Laterite profile. The Deccan Traps which are almost horizontal, are

generally massive and compact. Enrichment of Bauxite is conspicuous but it is

very erratic and irregular. bauxite occurs in-situ under Laterite capping in the

forms of Pockets, thin lenses and as a float Ore on the Slopes of the plateau.

Bauxite occurs both as insitu under the laterite Capping and as a Float Ore on the

Slopes of the Plateau. Bauxite deposit occurs as Pockets, irregular masses, thin

lenses and tabular bodies in the Laterite Capping and is not confined to

continuous horizons. The mode of occurrence of the deposit is generally reflected

in the Scarp Section.

The above generalized profile is not visible in any slope sections. Bauxite also

occurs in the form of Float ore at the base of the Scarp-Sections and one the slopes

of the Plateau. The bauxite deposits in the area occur in the form of Blanket type

in the ferruginous or aluminous laterite. Thickness of bauxite ore is varying and

ranging from 3 to 4 m. The deposit is extending from eastern end to western end

in the form of blanket type and in Places it is having large voids. It is observed that

very often an impressive thickness of Bauxite dwindles to almost nothing within

short distances, converse by Outcrops which to be minor thickness may develop

into thick and massive lenticles of Bauxite.

Dump re-handling (for the purpose of recovery of mineral):

It is proposed to handle about 1,43,700 tonnes of ROM every year. The excavated

land will be back-filled concurrently with about 20% Intercalated waste, to

convert waste land into cultivable agricultural land. The waste generated will be

backfilled in the worked out pits concurrently.

Conceptual plan: The mining operation by means of opencast fully mechanized

method will be continued till conceptual period.

Conceptual Mine Development: As the area is not been explored completely, on

the basis of an evaluation of various parameters, such as the distribution and

nature of occurrence of bauxite deposit, structural features, topography, pit

design, geo-hydrological conditions, etc, and ultimate Pit limit has been

tentatively delineate for the exposures in the applied area. However, after the

completion of the proposed Exploration, the Reserves will be re estimated and

accordingly conceptual Plan will be modified.

The lease area is divided in two blocks. Both blocks are having the Public Road

and nallas. Thus a safety barrier of 50 meter will be maintained along the Public

road, nallas. A Green belt of 7.5 enter all along the periphery of the lease is to be

mention as the part of statutory requirement.

At the end of the lease period of the mine an area of 50.19 Ha and average 6-10

mts depth will be formed. This will be reclaimed concurrently by year-wise

refilling to convert waste land into plantation area. The entire worked out pit will

be reclaimed by plantations. Total Lease area is 77.37 Ha, of which 50.19Ha areas

is mineable during the Conceptual Period and rest area is under the safety barrier

Annexure II

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

1.1 For Water Environment

There is no water regime near to this mine. The water regime is Savitri River

which is far away to have any impact. Surface water is in the form of seasonal

rain fall. It takes normal course and flows out of the area along natural slope. No

impact on surface or ground water is expected as no chemical processing is

involved.

1.2 For Air Environment

The proposed mining operations are mechanized and shall be done through

deployment of mining machineries. The dust from the haul roads and drilling is

expected to pollute the air to some extent. However, considering the production

and nature of proposed mining operations particulate matter level will not be

more than the permissible limit.

However, on the haulage road water will be sprinkled to minimize the raising of

dust in the area.

Further, for minimizing dust generation during drilling & blasting and loading

following measures are proposed:

Drilling will be done by compressed air operated 115 mm diameter drill

machine which will be equipped with wet drilling.

Proper care in regard to quantity of explosives will be taken.

Adequate water spraying on the haul roads will be done to suppress dust.

The trucks used for transportation will not be overloaded and will be

covered with tarpaulin.

Development of green belt / plantation all along roads, back filled area

and Peripheral areas will be done to arrest dust.

Dust masks will be provided to persons employed in dusty areas.

Regular & periodic maintenance of deployed machineries will be carried

out to reduce smoke emission

1.3 For Noise Environment :

Noise Level is likely to increase due to movement of machineries, drilling, etc.

The measures will be taken to maintain the noise levels within limits. Periodical


18

maintenance of equipment will be carried out. Moreover, the building of green

belt that would be continued along lease boundary, dumping yards, haulage

roads will help in restricting noise level.

1.4 For reducing ground vibrations :

Ground vibrations caused by blasting will be monitored in order to know their

degree and to build safe guards. The ground vibrations would be mainly at the

point of blasting and further away the vibrations will decrease and becomes

imperceptible.

To reduce the ground vibrations multi-row blasting will be adopted and charge

per delay to be kept within limit. Blasting shall be carried out by using NONEL

detonators, which controls air blast and ground vibration effectively.

Blasting will be done preferably in the afternoon. This will minimize vibration

due to blasting and check noise pollution. Ground Vibration monitoring will be

done regularly.

1.5 Stabilization of Overburden Dumps :

The Overburden is in the form of Intercalated Clay which is considered as 20 %

of the Total ROM handling. The intercalated waste will be concurrently filled in

the mined out area.

1.6 For Socio -Economic Environment

The proposed mining activity is expected to have a positive impact on the socio-

economic profile of the area. The local people shall get opportunities of

employment in the unskilled semiskilled category. The overall standard of living

in the area is expected to improve due to coming Karivane Bauxite Mining

Project.
