as per the provisions of Mines Rules 1956.

4.6 Soil classification:

The district Gir Somnath is divided into four regions on the basis of distinctive

soil characteristics.

Black Soil : Una, Gir-Dadhada, Kodinar and Talala talukas have black

soil.

Calcareous Soil : Veraval and Sutrapada talukas have Calcareous soil.

Blakish Soil : Along the coastal belt of Veraval, Una and Gir-Dadhada

talukas have Blakish Soil.

Lili Nagher: A strip between Veraval, Kodinar, Una and Gir-Gadhada is

known as “Lili Nagher”

The most part of the district is leveled. So the leveled area is fertile for

agriculture purpose. The black cotton soil is composed largely of clay material.

Regional geology & local geology:

a) Regional geology:-

The rock formation belong to late Pleistocene to early Holocene age and designated

as miliolite formation occupies the Saurasthra coastal plain extending from

northwest of Porbandar to near Gopnath point in Bhavnagar district. this

formation overlaps the Pleistocene and Miocene rock and occurs directly over the

Deccan trap formation of upper cretaceous to Paleocene age toward the north and

east.

The regional stratigraphic sequence is given in table.

------------------------------------------------Unconformity----------------------------------------------

Paleocene to upper

Deccan trap Basalt and its derivatives

including the

intermediate and acidic

rock granophyre etc.

The rock of milolite formation along the coastal have the appearance of dirty white,

friable oolitic, calcarinite, further inland but still along the coastal plains, these are

somewhat purer, well consolidated, white oolite limestone.

The rock occur in bed which show a gentle seaward dip of 5° to 14°. The rock are

extensively cross –laminated showing dune type current bedding. alterneting

coarse and fine grained lamination are comman. they occur at various level, in the

coastal plains, along the miliolite, belonging to the common foraminifera present in

profusion in the rock. composition –wise, the rock are extremely variable ranging

from near pure limestone devoid of sand to calcareous sandstone and clay

limestone.

The rock formation oriented as beach sediment formed in agitated, warm and very

shallow water. they were subsequently cemented by calcspar precipitated from sea


17


saturated with CaCO3 the warm, shallow, circulating water were favorable living

areas for marine organisms which have left their in shells and fecal pellets.

The occurrence of the Pleistocene beach limestone all over tertiary coastal plains

fringing the Deccan trap plateau and deep in the interior of the deccan trap country

at high elevation, tend to lead to the conclusion that during Pleistocene at high

elevation, tend to lead conclusion that during Pleistocene period the sea level stood

much higher that at present. this may be true in respect of the areas of the coastal

plain and the foothill region. But the occurrence of the miliolite rock at higher

elevation in interior areas also point to an Aeolian origin indicating that the wind

blow particles from the fragmented beach sediment might have been deposited in

the valleys of the high hill which acted as natural wind barrier and the sea need

not have transgressed to such great height in order to form the thinner layer of

milionite rock at such higher altitude.

b) Local Geology

The lease area has been subjected to manual mining isolated pit exposing the lower

layer of the limestone formation. the undisturbed area is also covered by the

limestone. the limestone is followed downwards by a thin layer of clay resting

unconformably over the basement trap rock of the deccan trap formation. The trap

rock has not been drilled into and exposures of the same are also not seen in the

vicinity. The local stratigraphy sequence as could be deciphered from the limited

drilling data is presented in table below

Limestone- a part of limestone has already been mined out manually from about

small pits within the lease area the maximum thickness of the limestone horizon

within the lease is about 8-10 meters. whereas thickness of chemical grade varies

from 5 to 7 miter and thickness of cement grade is 3m.

Gaj bed – the lease represented by a thin layer of brownish clay underlying the

limestone. this consist predominantly of brown colored clay and calcareous.

4.7 Climatic details

The climate is moderate and temperature range from 38°C during summer to

about 12°C.during winter. average annual rainfall is 400 to 500mm which

received during monsoon season from June to September. Predominant wind

direction is SW-NE. generally wind blow with a velocity of 10-12 km/hr in all

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

Project will create direct & indirect employment opportunities within the

surrounding region. Unit will use good faith efforts to employ local people

from the nearby villages depending upon the availability of skilled & un-

skilled man-power surrounding the project site.

In the proposed project would require significant workforce of non-technical

and technical persons. Migration of highly education and skilled experience

will result in increase of literacy in the surrounding villages.

In addition, the proposed expansion of project shall enhance the prospects of

employment.

Assessment of the potential socioeconomic benefits during mining

focused primarily on work force requirements, acquisition of supplies,

and the temporary increased demand for services related to the mining

project like food, housing, communications, law enforcement, medical care,

local transportation etc. Due to these, additional revenue to local suppliers

for required products and services related to the construction and operation

phases of the project will generate.

Thus, mining activities will provide numerous new, although temporary, work

opportunities for both skilled and unskilled labor, as well as contribute

significantly to the local economy.

Additional government revenue expected from royalty, taxes, duties and other

fees.

An added benefit to the proposed project will result in considerable growth of
