S. No.

Item Details

6.42 km from Marine Sanctuary. Eco sensitive Zone of Marine Sanctuary and Marine National Park is demarcated as 1 km and lease is located outside the ESZ of MS/MNP and more than 10 km away from Gaga Bird Sanctuary, based on this, it is clear that no clearance from the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) is requiredThe C.R.Z Notification, 1991

The CRZ Notification has been revised as of 2011. The lease does not fall in the Coastal Regulation Zone as per this notification because:

a) The mine is located at a distance greater than the High Tide Line (HTL), i.e.500m on the landward side along the sea front. (As per preliminary estimates, the mine is located ~ 7.1km from the edge of the coastline).

b) There is no tidally influenced water body within 100 m of the mine. (As per preliminary estimates the nearest possibly tidally influenced water body is ~ 7.1km in NW & Rani River is at 5.12km in West direction from the mine site).

c) There is no hazard line demarcation done by the Survey of India (SoI) in the area as on date, but considering the distance of the mine from the coast / HTL, it is unlikely that the Hazard Line would be in the vicinity of the mine

The mine does not lie in the inter-tidal zone of the sea or the tidally influenced water body.

22 Whether there is any Government order / policy, relevant / relating to the site

No

23 Forest land involved (ha.)

Nil, No Forest Land is involved within the lease area, however it may be present within the study area (comprises 10km radius from lease boundary), which will be analyzed and reported during detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

2.1.4 Demand-Supply Gap

This is an existing captive mine for supply of high grade material to Orient Abrasive Limited’s Plant

located at Porbandar. The plant is under expansion, the Supply and Demand gap is 40%, and the project

clearance will further reduce the Demand & Supply gap. Hence demand supply issues whilst important,

are considered in the current situation.

2.1.5 Imports v/s Indigenous Production

This is an existing mine for the supply of high grade material to OAL’s plant located at Porbandar and OAL has

not imported high grade material yet.

2.1.6 Export Possibility

High grade bauxite from the mine will be used in OAL’s manufacturing unit and Value Addition industry at

Porbandar, while low grade will be sold to local consumers only after getting permission from Government of

Gujarat.

2.1.7 Domestic / Export Markets

High grade bauxite from the mine will be used in OAL’s manufacturing unit at Porbandar, while low grade will

be sold to local consumers only after getting permission from Government of Gujarat.

2.1.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the Project

2.2.6 Conceptual Mining Plan

Ultimate Pit Limit

In the Mining lease area the mineralised limits are determined either by the limit of the mining lease boundary

or by the limits of the ore body. These limits have been duly marked in the geological plan. The ultimate pit

limit has also marked in conceptual plan plate no. 9. The life of the mine 24 years.During coming 24 years the

entire lease area leaving statutory barrier will be converted into two pit.The conceptual plan has been prepared

up to life of mine. The lease area of Mewasa-403 will be converted into pit having dimension 350 m in length

&width varied 56 m to 87 m and average depth will be about 4.0 m as shown in conceptual plan plate no. 9.

The lease area of Mewasa-202 will be converted into pit and length of pit will be about 140 m width varies

from 90 m to 1360 m and depth will 1.60 m as shown in conceptual plan plate no. 9.

Stacking of mineral reject and disposal of waste:-


The backfilling will be done in area after excavation of full thickness of bauxite. The waste generated during

three years scheme period will be backfilled in the eastern part of the lease area. The waste generated during

three years mining scheme period will be backfilled in mined out area at the time of generation itself hence


MINING OF 12500 TPA



JULY 2015 11 | P A G E

question of its height does not arise and soil will be spread on it. As the volume of voids(area to be worked) is

much more than material available for backfilling, entire mined out area up to original ground level will not

possible. Therefore east part of the area will be backfilled upto original ground level and another part of the

lease area will be as water reservoir.

hired /owned truck to company’s manufacturing unit at Porbandar. Low grade bauxite will be stacked

separately.

2.2.11 Resource Optimization / Recycling and Reuse Envisaged in the Project

The following will be done • The mineralized waste generated during the mining period will be backfilled in order to reduce the

change in land cover or topography of the area. This backfilled area will be used for greenbelt

development

• Complete backfilling is not possible so a part of mine out area will be used as water reservoir and

stored water will be used for watering the plantation and for dust suppression. In addition to this water

stored in mined out pits will be used by farmers and villagers in nearby area thus reducing the ground

water dependency.


MINING OF 12500 TPA



JULY 2015 14 | P A G E

• Mine will be worked only in day time (8 hr/ day) and around 41 persons will work, therefore the

domestic waste generated will be low and it is possible to recycle. As it doesn’t require electricity

because working will be only in Day time.

2.2.12 Availability of Water its Source and Energy/Power Requirement

Water

For domestic use water will be supplied by the means of tankers from the nearby village.

For greenbelt development and dust suppression water stored in mined out pits will be used.

For domestic purpose: 1.845 KLD

For dust suppression: 21.35 KLD

For plantation: 0.21 KLD

Fuel/Power Requirement

The mine will be worked during an eight hours shift i.e. during day time only and hence no electricity is

required for lighting. Diesel, ~3 lit/hr will be used as fuel for running pump for dewatering in rainy season that

too for some time.

2.2.13 Waste Generation and Management

Nature of Waste & Rate of yearly generation

In the proposed mining scheme the OB is likely to be generated during scheme period will be Soil and will be

spread on backfilled area.The waste that is likely to be generated will be in the form of associated clay with the

bauxite horizon as mineral waste which is below the threshold grade, which has no sale value. That will be

backfilled in mined out pits.

Quantity of Waste

The waste generated during scheme period will be as under:-

Selection of Dumping Site

In the proposed mining scheme, it is proposed that the waste generated during scheme period will be

backfilled in eastern part of the mined out area and soil will be spread on it hence. Simultaneously backfilling

will be done. Part of mined out land will be used as water reservoir.

Method of Dumping & Maximum Height and Spread of dumps


The backfilling will be done in area after excavation of full thickness of bauxite. The waste generated during

three years scheme period will be backfilled in the eastern part of the lease area. The waste generated during

three years mining scheme period will be backfilled in mined out area at the time of generation itself hence

question of its height does not arise and soil will be spread on it. As the volume of voids (area to be worked) is

much more than material available for backfilling, entire mined out area up to original ground level will not

possible. Therefore east part of the area will be backfilled upto original ground level and another part of the

lease area will be as water reservoir.

No OB will be generated during five years plan period. The waste generated during three years plan period

will be backfilled after excavation of bauxite mineral upto full thickness.As mentioned earlier, first of all clayey

material i.e. overburden without top soil will be stacked / spread out in excavated area after removal bauxite,

followed by a thin layer of topsoil, so that land can be restored. This work of backfilling of overburden will be

done from first year pit hence question of its height and spread does not arise. As volume of voids (already

excavated area & area to be worked during mine plan period)is much more than material available for

backfilling, restoration of land aupto original ground level will not possible, extent of backfilling has been

shown in table.

Table: Existing and Proposed Land Use for Mewasa-202 Mining Lease:

2.3.3 Topography

The topography of terrain in Mewasa, Virpur and other village is marked by low lying narrow laterite with

intervening broad flat and undulating valleys gradually sloping towards the coast in the west to north westerly

direction. Being a drought prone area, the rain fall is scanty and hence there are no perennial rivers. The nallas

and rivers, which remain mostly dry during major part of the year, show a dendritic drainage pattern. The

narrow winding ridges normally show a low dip slope towards east-south-east and relatively steeper

escarpment slope toward west-south-west.

2.3.4 Geology of the Mine Lease

The area around Kenedy, Nandana, MotaAsota, Kenedy, and Ran Village has bauxite segregated pockets with

in laterite or horizontal bedded bauxite deposit within laterite or altered clay. The other rock type exposed in

the region are trap rocks, limestone and lithomergic clays. The limestone belonging to Gaj beds series is

overlying the laterites. The sequences of formation ranges from early Eocene to recent in age. The generalized

stratigraphic sequence of the lease area is shown in Table.

Estimated cost of the two projects would be around Rs. 55.53 lacs only. This cost includes the project

expenditure towards the laterite and bauxite mine. The mine has been sanctioned by the Government for

captive consumption only and not for sale of products; hence the profitability factor does not arise at this

stage. The cost break-up is given in

including Tribal Population, if any, in the Area

Critical analysis of the existing socio-economic profile of the area vis-à-vis its scenario with proposed project

activities identifies the following:

About 41 miners will be engaged in mining activities for the project and about 35 people to anclary activities.


MINING OF 12500 TPA



JULY 2015 25 | P A G E

The proposed activities shall generate indirect employment in the region due to the requirement of workers in

supply auxiliary such as higher machinery service and Ore Transport service afford from the ancillary works,

which would marginally improve the economic status of the people.

Further the additional benefits from the downstream units such as iron industry, steel industry, cement plant,

and metallurgical industry also add value to the society.
