Shri U. K. Singh, Assistant Geologist, District Banaskantha presented that sand excavation will be done only from dry river bed and instream mining is not practiced in the above lease areas. It was also presented that no any bridge pier / intake well / irrigation structure exists within 500 m distance from boundary of any of above lease areas. He explained that sand excavation will be done up to maximum 3 m depth or water level, whichever is less. The committee observed that the lease holders have proposed to leave adequate setback distance from the river bank so as to avoid chances of river bank erosion. After discussion and detailed scrutiny of each of the cases, considering the proposed mitigation measures proposed by the lease holders, the committee unanimously decided to recommend above projects for grant of environmental clearance.

Shri U. K. Singh, Assistant Geologist, District Banaskantha represented that all the above lease areas are located beyond 1 km distance from the nearest human habitation and only controlled blasting will be excercised. Top soil will be stacked separately for green belt development whereas overburden will be removed, stacked and refilled in mined out pits. None of the proposal involves intersection of ground water table. No wastewater generation is envisaged from mining activities. Domestic wastewater will be disposed off through septic tank – soak pit. Arrangement will be done to prevent contamination of surface runoff. Proposed air pollution control measures include use of only controlled blasting, water sprinkling on haul roads, tree plantation in periphery and road sides, etc. It is proposed to convert mined out pits into water reservoirs. During the meeting, considering the proposed mitigation measures, the committee decided to recommend the above projects for grant environmental clearance.

Shri R. B. Dhruv, Assistant Geologist, District Kheda & Chhotaudepur represented that all the above proposals involve open cast mechanized mining involving drilling, blasting, sizing of mineral, etc. Top soil will be stacked separately for green belt development whereas overburden will be removed, stacked and refilled in mined out pits. None of the proposal involves intersection of ground water table. No wastewater generation is envisaged from mining activities. Domestic wastewater will be disposed off through septic tank – soak pit. Arrangement will be done to prevent contamination of surface runoff. Proposed air pollution control measures include use of

only controlled blasting, water sprinkling on haul roads, tree plantation in periphery and road sides, etc. It is proposed to convert mined out pits into water reservoirs.

During the meeting, Shri R. B. Dhruv informed that M/s. J. J. Patel Infrastructural and Engineering Pvt. Ltd. was allotted seven quarry leases and the amalgamation for these leases has been done vide Order No. AGK/QL/EKTRIKARAN/227 dtd. 05/02/2014 for total area of 39.86.79 Ha. As lease areas of M/s.

Shri R. B. Dhruv, Assistant Geologist, District Kheda & Chhotaudepur informed that some of the lease areas are in dry riverbed whereas are underwater. He represented that no any bridge piers / intake wells exist within 500 m distance from boundary of lease areas in dry riverbed, at least 10 m setback distance will be left and sand removal will be done up to 3 m depth or water level, whichever is less. Shri Dhruv was asked to submit written confirmation on which of the above lease areas are in dry river bed and which are under the water. After discussion, considering the proposed mitigation measures proposed by the lease holders, the committee unanimously decided to recommend the lease areas in dry riverbed for grant of environmental clearance. It was decided to close file of the lease areas which are under water and it was decided to reopen these cases upon submission of a detailed study report of the river to the committee.

All the above lease areas are situated beyond 1 km distance from the nearest habitation. It is proposed to practice only controlled blasting. Top soil will be stacked separately for green belt development whereas overburden will be refilled in mined out pits. None of the proposal involves intersection of ground water table. No wastewater generation is envisaged from mining activities. Domestic wastewater will be disposed off through septic tank – soak pit. Arrangement will be done to prevent contamination of surface runoff. Proposed air pollution control measures include

Shri K. N. Mahavadia, Geologist, District Rajkot presented that sand excavation will be done only from dry river bed. He informed that instream type of mining is not practiced in the above lease areas. It was claimed that no any bridge piers / water intake wells / irrigation structures exist within 500 m distance from boundary of any of above lease areas. He explained that sand excavation will be done up to maximum 3 m depth or water level, whichever is less. The committee observed that the lease holders have proposed to leave adequate setback distance from the river bank so as to avoid chances of river bank erosion. After discussion and detailed scrutiny of each of the cases, considering the proposed mitigation measures proposed by the lease holders, the committee unanimously decided to recommend above projects for grant of environmental clearance.

All the above proposals involve open cast mechanized mining involving drilling, blasting, sizing of mineral, etc. Top soil will be stacked separately for green belt development whereas overburden will be removed, stacked and refilled in mined out pits. None of the proposal involves intersection of ground water table. No wastewater generation is envisaged from mining activities. Domestic wastewater will be disposed off through septic tank – soak pit. Arrangement will be done to prevent contamination of surface runoff. Proposed air pollution control measures include use of only controlled blasting, water sprinkling on haul roads, tree plantation in periphery and road sides, etc. It is proposed to convert mined out pits into water reservoirs.

During the meeting, the committee observed that Gurukrupa Metals at Sr. No. 12 and Ranabhai Vejabhai Kuchhadiya at Sr. No. 18 in table above have proposed for basalt removal from riverbed itself.

During the meeting, the committee noticed that none of the above projects has proposed to undertake blasting and mineral will be removed only with help of cutter machine. It was also noticed that none of the above projects involves intersection of ground water table. It was claimed that none of the lease areas come under the eco-sensitive zone or coastal regulation zone. It was presented that arrangement of water sprinkling will be done during cutting for control of fugitive emission. During the meeting, considering the proposed mitigation measures, the committee decided to recommend the above projects for grant environmental clearance.

The above mentioned lease areas are situated beyond 500 m distance from the nearest villages. Method of basalt removal involves drilling, blasting, sizing of mineral, etc. Top soil will be stacked separately for green belt development whereas overburden will be removed, stacked and refilled in mined out pits. None of the proposal involves intersection of ground water table. No wastewater generation is envisaged from mining activities. Domestic wastewater will be disposed off through septic tank – soak pit. Arrangement will be done to prevent contamination of surface runoff. Proposed air pollution control measures include use of only controlled blasting, water sprinkling on haul roads, tree plantation in periphery and road sides, etc. It is proposed to convert mined out pits into water reservoirs. After deliberations on various aspects, considering the proposed mitigation measures, the committee unanimously decided to recommend the above cases for grant of environmental clearance.
