2.3. Need for the project & its significance for country or region
The project involves collection of sand, one of the most accessibly natural resources
and is a major basic raw material used for the construction of buildings and bridges
and now in roads also. The production of mineral is a function of the availability of
natural resources, the economy of the area and the various developmental and
Infrastructural works being undertaken in the area like road construction,
hydroelectric projects etc. And thus, the demand of sand has increased considerably
for the construction of buildings and other infrastructures. It is considered as one of
the most effective construction material ever used. Due to innumerable uses of sand, it
has been a highly in-demand product in the construction industry.

Pre-feasibility Report
2.4. Demand & Supply gap
Building huge infrastructure as being envisaged by Government of India particularly
in road and housing sectors require basic building raw materials. So, the demand of
Sand is ever growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our country. The
requirement for the minerals is always high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore,
there is always a good demand of mineral in the domestic market.
2.5 Imports vs Indigenous production
The demand of Sand is high in the domestic market. First of all the friable
quartzarinite sand is extracted from the mining site and after sieving, its friable sand
granules are grinded to convert into sand and then sieved sand and pulverized sand is
mixed together and sold to the consumers. The mineral is abundant in the proposed
mining area and can be excavated indigenously.
2.6 Export possibility
There is no proposal for export of the mineral. There is already a high demand in the
domestic market to which the extracted mineral can cater.
2.7 Domestic/Export markets
There is an ever increasing demand of mineral in the domestic market.
Export Market: The proposed mining is for indigenous consumption for real state,
road making etc. so there is no proposal of export of Sand.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGMENT PLAN
1. Introduction:
When mining is done to excavate the minerals to fulfill the requirements of the human
beings, this cause certainly an adverse effect on the environment prevailing around the area
from where these are being extracted. The necessity is this, to reduce such adverse impacts by
applying certain mitigation measures so that the need of these minerals are also met for the
benefit of the humanity without causing large scale harm to the environment. The measures to
reduce these impacts are being discussed in the following paragraphs:
1.1 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN ( EMP)
This Environment Management Plan is being proposed for the excavation of friable
quartzarinite sand to be converted into sand by installing a pulverizer/grinding machine. The
proposed mining site is located in Mohal & Mouza Dhar, Tehsil & District Solan, H.P.
1.2 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT
The mining in the proposed mining lease area may cause degradation in the exiting form of
the land and it can change into terraced land instead of hill slope. It can also spoil the
greenery of grass or bushes in the process of excavation of mineral. The mining activities can
also give rise to the unwanted land slides.
1.2.1 MITIGATION MEASURES
To promote greenery in the mining area, plantation shall be done on the exhausted benches.
The apprehension of land slide can be minimized by erecting retaining structures on the hill
slope and this measure can also help in controlling the rolling scree on the slopes.
1.3 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT
Minor particles of dust resulted from the mining activities can be transported by the rains and
may pollute the surface water. These activities can also disturb the under ground water
regime.
1.3.1 MITIGATION MEASURES
The proposed mining lease area is located on the hill slope and there is no natural source of
water near it which can be affected by the process of transportation of the dust/minor wastes
generated in the process of mining. The water table of the under ground water is also very
deep and can not be disturbed due to the formation of 6x6m benches.
Project Name: Mohal Dhar Mining Project.
Proponent: Sh.Mohan Lal(GPA holder).
35
Pre-feasibility Report
1.4 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT
Mining activities may cause emission of dust which can pollute the environment.
1.4.1 MITIGATION MEASURES
As the mining in the proposed mining area will done manually or some time in a semi
mechanized manner, so the generation of dust emission is negligible as compared to the other
activities. Moreover, the habitation is quite far away and having no effect on air of this
negligible emission of dust.
1.5 IMPACT ON NOISE ENVIRONMENT
The mining in the proposed mining lease area can create noise around the surrounding area
and can disturb the habitation & fauna of the area.
1.5.1 MITIGATION MEASURES
The proposed mining area is located on a hill slope and habitation is quite far away from it.
Moreover, no blasting will be done in the mining area. Hence no noise or vibrations be
resulted due to mining. Some noise may generate due to plying of vehicles carrying the
finished product/sand to the consumers/market which can be controlled by lubricating the
machinery time to time. There is no wildlife near the mining area which could be disturbed
by the mining people or mining activities.

Pre-feasibility Report
DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT
The proposed mining lease area is located on hill slope which is prone to some risk
hazards but there will not be any major risk hazard associated with the mining process. The
possible risk hazards may be as follows:
• Land slides
• Accidents during grinding of friable granules of sand
• Accidents during loading
• Accidents during transportation &
• Earthquakes
LAND SLIDES AND MEASURES FOR THEIR REDUCTION
As the mining area is located on hill slope and made up of friable jointed and
fractured quartzarinite sand, hence, possibilities are there for the development of land slide.
Therefore, it will be in the interest of safety of the labors to maintain the height of the mining
benches as suggested in the approved mining plan i.e. 6x6 m dimensions. Besides this no
work should be carried out during monsoon and rains when the possibilities are there of
sliding down the rock mass.
ACCIDENTS DURING GRINDING AND MEASURES TO CONTROL THEM
Excavated friable sand should be fed for grinding in the machine through a
chute from a safe distance with the help of hand driven trolleys and a platform be constructed
with a sufficient hole so that the material brought from the mining site can be loaded in this
hole and slide down with the gravitational force to reach the grinding machine. So that there
may not be any accident due to slipping of labor.
ACCIDENTS DURING LOADING & PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Accident may occur during loading and transportation of sand. The excavated
sand should be loaded in tippers with the help of a chute. So that there may not be any
danger to the mine workers.

Pre-feasibility Report
ACCIDENTS DURING TRANSPORTATION AND THEIR SAFETY
To avoid any accident during transportation, the vehicles will be periodically
checked and maintained properly. No over loading will be allowed. The tippers/trucks will be
covered to prevent any spillage. The speed of the vehicles will be limited to 20 Km per hr.
and drivers with proper driving licenses will be employed.
ACCIDENTAL RISK DURING EARTHQUAKES & MITIGATION MEASURES
The labors will be trained in taking the safety steps at the time of earthquakes.
This will be done with help of Mining Officer or any trained personnel in the district
authority. No solid and heavy structure will be constructed at the mining site which can cause
any harm to the labors at the time of earthquake. All labor rest shed, toilets etc. shall be
constructed of light tin sheets to avoid any danger to the workers at the mining site.

9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)
The project will bring economical benefits to the state by way of Royalty on
minor mineral and other taxes as applicable from time to time. The local Panchayat
shall also get cess on the production of mineral on the specified rates approved by the
Government. Achieving a huge infrastructure as being envisaged by Government of
India particularly in road and building sector requires basic building material. The
mining activities as proposed/exiting are the backbone of all construction and
infrastructure projects as the raw material for construction is available only from such
mining. Sand extracted is in high demand at the local market for real estate industry.
This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the
society/economically backward population. It provides employment to the people
residing in vicinity directly or indirectly. Thus the project brings about socio-
economic improvement of the area and will prove beneficial to the area.
