TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY
Topography
The Notified sand mine area is geographically situated in the bed of Shivnath River, in
khasra no- 785(part) of village- Manwa, Gram panchayat- Manwa, Tehsil: Masturi,
District- Bilaspur. Shivnath River originates from Panabaras Hill, 624 metres (2,047 ft)
above sea level in the Ambagarh Chowki division of Rajnandgaon district of
Chhhattisgarh. The river flows in the north-east direction for 300 km. from its source and
joins the Mahanadi River near the town Shivrinarayan. The Shivnath River is the longest
tributary of Mahanadi River, which it joins in Khargahni in Bilaspur district in
Chhattisgarh.
The maximum and minimum RL with the lease area is 231m in north direction and 224m
in south direction. The average width of the notified area of the quarry area is 100m and
length is about 490m.
The Khasra plan (Plate-3) and Key plan (Plate 1) of the area showing the location of the
mine in Google earth is enclosed as plate no 6 and photographs of the area in Plate no 7
respectively.

and Koriya districts in the north, Korba and Janjgir districts in east, Raipur and Durg
district in the south Kawardha and Mandla district in the west. Bilaspur is the district
headquarter and Mungeli, Takhatpur, Pendra, Sakola, Kota, Ratanpur are some of the
major towns. The katni banch of South Eastern Railway passes from North to south to
connect Bilaspur and Raipur in the south and Anuppur in the north. It connects Champa in
the east. All the important places within the district are well connected by a network of
state highways and all weathered roads. Seonath River flows easterly in the southern most
part of the district, Arpa, Kurung, Rahon, Ghongha, Son, Tesua etc., are important
tributaries of Seonath draining from west and north to it. The drainage pattern in general is
subparallel with medium density.
Physiographically the district can be divided into vally fill denudational plateau,
denudational pediment/ pediplain and high level plateaux. The vally fills occur in the
southern most part. They range in elevation from 260m to 275m. High level plateaux are
exposed in the eastern and western parts, ranging in elevation from 539m to 730m in the

Gunderdehi Formation, Chandi Formation is represented by grey shale, and limestone with
intrafromational conglomerate. Chandi formation is comprised of grey, hardand compact
shale and pick Limestone. Tarenga formation comprises of clay, chert, shale, red calc-
aggillaceous Limestone. Mohtara Formation is represented by grey argillaceous Limestone.
Gondwana Supergroup is represented by the rocks of Talchir formation and Barakar
Formation of Lower Permian age. Talchir Formation occupies the northern most part of the
district and is composed of buff and khaki green shale with splintery fragments, Grayish
white, fine to medium grained sandstone and boulder bed that comprises of subangular
clasts of quartzite and gneiss in grayish, fine to medium grained matrix. Barakar formation
consist of grayis white, fine to coarse grained, cross bedded massive sandstone, grey shale,
blackish grey carbonaceous shale, light yellow to creamy white clay with coal seams it
occurs in the northern most part of the district.
Lameta Formation is exposed in the NW part of the district at the foothill of Amarkantak
Plateau. It comprises ash grey coloured cherty/ siliceous limestone and greenish feldspathic
(arkosic) sandstone with very thin bands of red clay- variegated in nature.
Deccan trap of upper cretaceous to Eocene age is exposed in west and nort western parts of
the district overlying the Lametas. The Basalt flows are dark grey, fine to medium grained,
hard and compact.
Laterite and Bauxitic Laterite of Cainozoic age are observed on basalts in the west and
north western part of the district. The development of the reddish brown, hard and compact
lateritic profile is due to weathering of the trap rocks which subsequently has resulted in
the formation of bauxite zones.
The Chhattisgarh and Gondwana Supergroup of rocks show bedding trending in the NNE-
SSw to NNW-SSE direction with occasional variation to E-W. these have low to moderate
southerly and northerly dips varying from 30 to 40
0 . The foliation planes in the gnissic
rocks also show trend of E-W, NE-SW, NW- SE, dipping northerly or southerly, with the
dip varying from 350 to 83
0. Vertical joints trending E-W, NE-SW, NW- SE are recorded.
A number of minor faults trending NW- SE sut across Chandarpur Sandstone in the central
part. Major lineament trending E-W, NE-SW are recorded in the southern part of the
district.
Local Geology
As stated earlier, the notified sand mining area is situated in Shivnath River. The river bed
comprised of unconsolidated alluvial placer deposit of sand and bajari found along the river
bed. The rock formations thrusting invasion of Shivnath river is within the Chandi
formation are farming bold and nugged and gently eastward dipping topography in eastern
part of the river. The formation around the area are weathered and extensively occupied by
the alluvial soil cover noggin from almost 2.0m to 10.0m.
Based on the geology consideration thickness of the almost horizontally deposited sand
along the Shivnath river is likely to be over 4-5m. the sand (0.1 to 2mm) deposit is mostly
QUARRY PLAN OF MANWA (A) SAND MINE (SHIVNATH RIVER SAND DEPOSIT)
8 | P a g e ( Gram Panchayat: Manwa)
without any waste and overburden material and mostly common unconsolidated angular to
sub-angular and sub-rounded gains mainly of variety of quartz, feldspar and rarely iron
oxide minerals, mica silt (<0.6 mm) grains. Sorted boulders (>25cm.), Cobbles (6.4 cm to
25.6 cm.) pebbles (0.4 to 6.4 cm), gravels (0.2 to 0.4 cm.) from angular to sub rounded
makes essential part of alluvial deposits, but at the surface generally sand sorted bajari
(gravels & pebbles) are seen.
River & Drainage
The Lease area froms the river bed of Shivnath river. Which flow towards west to east
direction. Concerned river, being the primary with dendritic drainage pattern. Hence, the
effective catchment has been considered for zone of active erosion during high flood time
otherwise it is a zone of deposition along the bank on both the flanks. There is no waste
generation as sand comprises of the top surface at river bed only. It is also expected that
this pit will be automatically fill by sand flow in the rainy season depending on the amount
of rain fall received by the area and rate of river flow. During monsoon flood the water
level rises by 2.0- 3.5m at time of short spells.
Transportation of sand
The sand is not a insitu materials but being carried out by flowing water during the
monsoon every year from various catchment areas of the river and getting accumulated ate
convenient locations like bends, escarpments etc. and as such the sand of the lease area is a
carried material brought from various location and getting accumulated at convenient
places in the flow direction of the river. The size of the accumulated sand varies due to the
time factor taken by the river as well as the quantity of the flow water. The depositions
normally take place on winding course (bends)/ meanders/ loops/ circuitous journey (of a
river in flow direction.
Nature of River/ Nalla bed and alluvial sand-
The area lies within the Shivnath river, which is gets flooded in the rainy season. All the
deposit comprises sand and bajari at the upper most layer followed by grabbles of
Quartzite, limestone, sand stone and chert of sub- rounded to discoidal in shape having
smooth surface. Thickness of the deposit varies from 4-5 m. During monsoon this bed
replenished to a large extend due to erosion by heavy flow in higher reach and as soon as
the stream reaches in older channel downward, shed their loads in river banks due to
decrease in velocity and carrying capacity.

CHAPTER-4
RESERVES
The Sand deposit is not in-situ deposits but is dynamic in nature. The deposition of
sand takes places every year during monsoon. The amount of sand takes places every year
during monsoon. The amount of sand sediments deposition of sand in a particular river
stretch may very year to year depending upon a number of factors like rain fall in the
catchment area, bed slope, amount of sand excavated from that area etc. Also the thickness
of the sand bed in a particular stretch of a river is not of uniform thickness. So the methods
of reserve estimation usually used for estimation of other mineral deposit which are in situ
in nature cannot be used to estimate the sand reserve.
At stated earliest, the proposed sand mining area lies in the river bed of Shivnath
River. The total notified area is 4.90 Hect. In Khasra No. - 785 (part) of village:- Manwa
Gram Panchayat Manwa . The river Shivnath is a perennial river.
Sand deposition in the area is of almost uniform thickness; the thickness of the sand
bed in the proposed area is 4.0 to 5.0m., but proved thickness of sand bed has been
estimated upto 2 m and below this, further 2m thickness has been considered as probable
thickness. The reserve of sand in the proposed mine is estimated based on the following
facts and assumption:
• The lease area is 49000 Sq.m (4.90 Ha.).
• The process of accumulation of sand is continuation process in every year during
rainy season in this area due to its location being an embankment.
• The reserve has been estimated by area of influence method.
• The proved thickness has been considered as 2m and the resource has been come
under proved mineral resources.
• The probable thickness has been considered as 2m and the resources has been
comes under probable mineral resources.
• The B.D. of sand (ordinary) has been considered as 1.7.
• The reserve of river bed can be estimated by the available sand area in the total
lease area and multiplied by the average estimated thickness of sand bed observed
by number of location.
Total Mineral resources are as under:
1. Total Proved Mineral Resources:
The lease area is 49000 Square meter and thickness of sand (ordinary) is
considering 2 meter from surface. Hence, the estimation of total mineral reserve
resources is as under:

The estimation of blocked out resources:
There is no blockage of sand because 20m. of safety distance already remain from river
bank. None ramp, haulage road will be made within sand lease area, and there is only
accumulation of sand and load on the transported vehicles. No blockage will make on
benches because it is a sand lease area.
Thus, the reserve and resources of sand (ordinary) is as under:
Category Resource Mineable Reserve
Proved 98000 Cubic meter 98000 Cubic meter
Probable 98000 Cubic meter ---------
Deduction of 5% is assumed for blockage in ramp, mine boundary etc. on above-
Recoverable Reserve = 95% of the mineable reserve.
= 98000.00 X 95/100 (5% mining loss)
= 93100.0 cu.m
Total sand reserve is 93100.0 cu.m
Anticipated Life of the Mine:
On the basis of the proved mineral reserve and (ordinary) up to 2mts depth of 98,000.00
cu.m and by taking the proposed production rate of about 93100.0 cu.m per annum. Due to
continues sand deposition in the area during rainy season there will not be much depletion
the reserve of sand, hence reserve is likely to the remain same every year and in future
also.

CHAPTER- 5
DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAMME
Maximum depth of removal of ordinary sand/bajri (2 mtrs from surface or up to
water table/ bed rock whichever is less)
The depth of mining will be restricted up to 2m.
Outline briefly year wise development and production for first Three years including
precautions to be observed to prevent haphazard excavation of pit, scattering of waste
and sub-grade mineral and avoidable loss of mineral in ground.
The three years of the mining plan period will be 2017-18 to 2022-23.
The proposed method of mining is semi-mechanized type. The mining will be carried out
by machine and manual labours both and loaded into truck/tupper/ dumper by tata hitachi
of JCB machine. Sand accumulated on river bed by the labours and make different small
size heap, which is loaded in tippers by help of machine.
Since, there will be not be pit formation, hence development of pit is not considered and
sand is deposited directly in every monsoon. As mentioned previously, lease area located
within the river bed and there will be continuous deposition in the area every year during
monsoon and sand will get refilled wherever mined out area during the year. So the mining
activity need not be properly lined out as seen the other mineral cases. In the case of sand
mining, the mined out areas will get refilled during monsoon and again mining can be
carried out in same location.
Since, mining will not be possible during rainy season; the working will be carried out only
about 8 months and working days considered as max. 240 days in a year.
No drilling and blasting is required, since the sand is a loose / semi-compact/ incompact
formation. The production of sand has been proposed to about 93100.0 m3 per annum.
Total lease area is 4.900 Hect. Whole area available for sand mining. Considering the
replenishment of sand and available reserve, about 93100.0 m3 sand can be safely
extracted per year.
Open Cast Working
It is an open cast working quarry mine. The method of mining is semi mechanized manual
opencast method with pit pattern. It is proposed to start production from upper side of river
where is no stream water. The height of working pit will be 2.0 mts maximum.
QUARRY PLAN OF MANWA (A) SAND MINE (SHIVNATH RIVER SAND DEPOSIT)
12 | P a g e ( Gram Panchayat: Manwa)
Considerations-
� Lease area is situated well within the meandering corridor of Shivnath river.
� The Mining shall be semi mechanized. Mining machinery excavator and loader
shall be deployed.
� Only 240 days have been considered for mining, rest 125 days of monsoon season
for replenishment of the area.
� Mining for each successive year is proposed to its 2.0m. Depth of mineral bed with
and average annual production of 93100.0 m3/year.
� The area on rotation basis is suggested in such a way that pit of previous year will
act as depository during the monsoon season by reducing the velocity and carrying
capacity of the stream thus depositing the mineral being transported by tributary. In
totality the principal of placer deposit is adopted. Hence following rotation plan is
recommended.
� Mining will be done by Semi Mechanized manual method by scraping of sand layer
with the help of fabra, tagari, basket and sieves by lifting and loading the sand in to
the trucks and tractor mounted- trolleys.
� For protection of aquatic life & riparian habitats mining will not be carried out in
active channel and a buffer zone of minimum 3.50-4.0m. will be left along the
active channel so that the aquatic life and the natural flow of river will not be
disturbed.
Development and production Program-
1. Prior to start production from the area, some development work has to be completed.
2. Maintenance and widening (9m) of pre- existing roads leading to area will be ensuring.
3. Exaction of a temporary site office and two rest shelter shall be completed.
4. Production program will be tabled below.

Details of machinery:
The method of mining is semi mechanized opencast method, hence machinery will be
required: Deployment of Machineries and other mechanical devices.
Sand is a loose free flowing in nature and hence no drilling and blasting is required. The
loading of the sand is proposed manually or machinery shall be deployed for loading of
sand. Tractors, Trippers and Dumpers shall be used for transpiration of sand.
The transportation of sand from the proposed mine shall be done using tractors, (capacity
3m3), tippers (capacity 6 m

8.18. Strategy for protection of river courses, nallas, water tanks, villages, important
monuments, if any.
Briefly outline the proposed strategies. If any for protection of the following.
River courses: Sand will be removed leaving appropriate column above water level
without disturbing the flowing water, hence any strategy for protection to save course is not
required.
Water tanks: The area located in the river-bed is sufficiently away from sensitive man
made land used for water tank, hospitals, dam or anicuts.
Village/ Houses/ hutments/ agricultural land: Not applicable because the project will
have no effect on any type or class of vulnerable people and being no requirement of
agricultural material during any phase of project, no wastes will be generated at river- bed
at this sand mining project.
Important monuments: Not applicable because no any important monuments are present
nearby the mining area.
8.19. Accident:
Probability of accident both in mine and roads will almost be nil. All safety precaution will
be taken to prevent road accidents, vehicles engaged will be kept fit and drivers will be
instructed to drive slow and carefully.
8.20. Government Rules and Regulations:
Applicant will abide by all Government rules and regulations while operating mine,
provisions of mines act will be strictly observed by the applicant. This plan has been
prepared on the basis of information and survey maps given by the applicant and studies
done by recognized person preparing this mining plan.
8.21. Conclusion:-
From the above, it will be observed that during the working of the mine, no problems are
likely to river pollution that will cause any harm to environment, ecology of the area etc.
this working of mine will offer more employment, chances to some of the nearby
population.

CHAPTER – 9
STRATEGY FOR PROTECTION OF
RIVER COURSE, NALAS
Briefly outline the proposed strategies (if any) for protection of flowing
a) River: The mining lease has been sanctioned by already leaving 80 meters from the
river bank and 10% influence area left as non-mining zone from main stream of main river
course. The proposed plantation of the river bank to protect embankment.
b) Canal: No
c) Water Tank: no
d) Village/house/hutment: The village is far away from the lease area, hence no further
proposal for protection strategies.
e) Important monument: No important monument with the 10 km radius from the lease
area.

CHAPTER – 11 RECLAMATION PLAN
Describe briefly the year wise reclamation plan, giving the proposed plantation
programme, scope of backfilling of worked out pit.
The river bed material normally consists of sand (< 2mm size), small gravels (> 2mm <
20mm size) and gravels (> 200 mm size). These materials comes down mostly rolling
over the river bed from steep stream/river slopes and settles down when the velocity of
flowing water decrease at the confluence of hilly & plain areas. The deposition of these
materials diverts the river flow in different direction thus forming islands varying sizes.
These islands are dynamic in nature and their location is not fixed. The river flow may
strike left or right bank of the depanding upon the rate of discharge, type and volume of
river bed material (RBM) brought from a rain storm etc. this phenomenon may not
become significant in a year or two but has its effect over longer period of time.
Principally the extraction of annual quantity of RBM should not be exceeding the RBM
brought during the monsoon of that year. However, the recommended quantity of
extracton of RBM is limited of 30 to 90%of RBM brought during the monsoon.
Methodology of extraction of RBM is more critical / relevant than quantity of
extraction of RBM. Improper method of extraction of RBM of even less quantity may
be more critical.
As the replenishment of sand in monsoon season is a regular process. Based on the last
five years observation, it’s experienced that the average 2-3m sand has been
replenished every year.
Development works undertaken on river/ stream bank becomes vulnerable due to
frequent striking of river/ stream flow on river bank. It therefore becomes necessary to
quide the flow to the centre of the river/ stream. Extraction of RBM with proper and
careful method is one of such measures to channelize the flow to the centre so as to
avoid stream bank erosion. The other measures are treatment of catchment with suitable
soil and water conservation measures so that the soil/ gravel are not carried out down
from their location; following drainage line treatment viz spurs, retards, wattling,
planting of sitable vegetation on river bank etc.
Plantation will be carried preferably on the River bank and also along the road used for
transportation or the area proposed by the Gram Panchayat.

CHAPTER - 12
ANY OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
1. In sand removing there is no need of construction of any temporary or permanent
structure within or nearby lease area. There is no needing have demolish any permanent
structure to start sand removing activity. There is no plantation on the sand removal
area so any need to cut trees. Approach road of the sand quarry is directly connected to
main road and it will not pass within the village or city so no question of shifting any
road or dust pollution of vehicles.
2. No any solid or liquid west will generate from removing of sand which can affect the
environment.
3. The method of removal is manual in nature, small and there is no any deployment of
machinery, which create dust or air pollution on remarkable scale.
4. Every year in the rainy season the pit general from the sand removal is automatically
filled by the river so the supply of sand will continuous from the applied area and flow
of river will not disturbed.
