The proposed leasehold area is barren and rock is exposed up to the surface. The area is located in non-forest area and it is a Rayati land. The applicant for the mining lease is Sri Anil Kumar Yadav, at Samadanala, PO Sakarigali and PS & District Sahibganj. The Government of Jharkhand has granted the mining lease to applicant Sri Anil Kumar Yadav for 07 year’s duration from 06/02/2010 to 05/02/2017. The nearest airport from the area is Ranchi which is 500 km from the lease hold area. Nearest railway station is Sahibganj which is 08 km away from the proposed mine site. National highway (NH-80) is located around 02 km distance from the mine. Mining will be done by Wagon drill method with blasting. The broken material will be directly loaded by machine into dumper to use as building material. There will not be any stock yard. Some amount of waste will be generated, which will be used for constructing approach road to the mine. The bench height will be restricted to 6 m and width will be of 3 m or as per DGMS approval. The proposed bench slope will be restricted to 70°. The anticipated stone production for 5 years will be around 199230 tonne with an average daily production rate of 132.82 tonne. Overall pit slope will be restricted to 45°. This application is for getting Environmental Clearance. M/s Anil Kumar Yadav Stone Mine is based on Wagon drills and control blasting covering leasehold area of 3.00 Acre (1.214 Ha) for a duration 5 years. Proposed stone production from the mine will be 132.82 tonne per day. The proposed leasehold area is barren and rock is exposed upto the surface. The area is located in non-forest area and it is a rayati land. Little amount of top soil available at some locations in ML area will be stored separately in eco-friendly manner for using during plantation. The mine is located away from habitation and any structure or place of importance. Moreover, local people will be provided job in the mine and they will also be involved for plantation work. A bore will be dedicated to local people after closure of the mine for their drinking purpose and agricultural use.

Proposed Method of Mining The development of the area will be done by Wagon drills and control blasting. Loading of stone to the dumper/tippers will be done by hydraulic excavator. Mining will be starts from surface by extraction of sub surface and the stone below ground level will be extracted by benching method after leaving 7.5 m safety zone inside the lease boundary. Mining Strategy All drilling operation will be done mechanically by compressed air operated Wagon drill of maximum 6 m depth. After control blasting by millisecond delay detonation technique, the blasted material will be loaded from the blasted face by hydraulic excavator on dumper/tippers. Loaded material will be directly transported to crusher located away from the mine site. There will not be any stock yard. A few amount of waste will be generated, which will be used for manufacture of approach road. Bench Design & Formation: Bench height will be restricted to 6 m and width will be of 3 m or as per DGMS approval. The proposed bench slope will be restricted to 70°. The anticipated stone production for 5 years will be around 199230 tonne with an average daily production rate of 132.82 tonne. Overall pit slope will be restricted to 45°. Year-wise Development (Reference to year-wise development plan & sections): During First year Mining will be done by benching method after excavation of sub surface portion of the mining lease area. Top portion will be excavated as first bench to third bench, which will be starts from 84 m t0 66 m depth (Plate 5) Average depth of excavation will be 6 m. There will be a little amount of waste. There will be a few overburdens which are used for construction of approach road. A temporary office-cum-rest shelter bore well and water tank will be constructed in the north east side of the mine as shown in Plate 5. Garland drain will be constructed around the lease boundary in the north east side of lease area which will be connected with a settling tank for controlling siltation during precipitation. Anticipated stone production during 1st year will be 39846 tonne with a daily production of around 132.82 tonne, considering 300 working days in a year.

7. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN 7.1 Policy to be adopted (Central/State) in respect of the project affected persons including home out sees, land out sees and landless laborers (a brief outline to be given) No human settlements exist in the ML area; hence no humans will be displaced from the area. Therefore, the proposed project does not involve any rehabilitation and resettlement. PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES 8.1 Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (Time schedule for the project to be given) The project will commence once Environmental Clearance and other necessary certificates are obtained from the respective departments. Duration of the project will be 10 years.



8.2 Estimated project cost along with analysis in terms of economic viability of the Project Expected cost of project would be around Rs. 32.00 Lac Expected cost of EMP would be around Rs. 4.00 Lac Expected cost of CSR would be around Rs. 2.00 Lac Cost of production and transportation per tonne stone production is given in Table 6. The average selling price of stone in the market is around Rs. 250/- per tonne. The average production cost per tonne is Rs. 222/-. Thus, the average profit per tonne is about Rs. 28/- Table 6: Cost of stone production and transportation

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (Final recommendations) The project will bring economic benefits to the state by the ways of royalty of stone as well as benefit to the lessee. The mining operations shall be providing employment to approximately 10 people of the poorest section of the society and benefitting more than 40 people indirectly. Socio-economic condition of the area will be improved as mining activity will create additional employment for the local habitants for raising their socio-economic status. Significant contribution will be made by lessee towards societal development of the surrounding area in the form of CSR fund of Rs. 1.00 per tonne. A bore will be dedicated to local people after closure of the mine for their drinking purpose and agricultural use. The pit pond after mine closure shall be used for agricultural purpose, growing of fish, drinking water for animal and other domestic uses. Proposed mining operation will improve the financial status of the local people.
