Demand - Supply Gap

Flag Stone is basic raw material of civil construction works likes building, dams, platforms etc.

for construction of walls/base.

Chhattisgarh is a developing state in map of India. Considering the growth, State Government

has divided the state in 27 districts out of which 9 are recently declared districts. State

Government, is carrying on various Infrastructure development projects in all districts, like

Pachri Nirman, Dams, Over bridge on rivers/nalla, approach roads etc. in addition to these

various power plants, steel plant and cement plants in private sectors are under

implementations, all above civil works require stone in different sizes which is in huge in

demand. However supply of flag stone in the above sectors are in huge shortage.

The proposed project is < 5 hect. Minor mineral and non-coal mining project thus it is classified

as “CATEGORY – B2” project under activity 1(a) of the schedule of EIA notification dated 14th

September 2006 as amended by Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, New

Delhi by S.O. 141(E) dated 15 January 2016, hence it comes under jurisdiction of DEIAA.

Therefore application is being filed before jurisdictional DEIAA of district Mahasamund for

getting permanent environmental clearance before starting of mining activity on granted lease

area.

All the other necessary permission and noc’s has been taken by the proponent. Consent to

establish & operate/Air/Water clearances from CGCECB will also be taken if instructed by

jurisdictional DEIAA.

Need for the Project and its Importance to the Country and/or Region

Connectivity

Further if the area for dumping of OB gets short then the land (adjoining or nearby the mine)

owned or controlled by the lessee will be utilised with due permission of district mining office

for dumping of excess OB. Such excess OB dump will be utilised in priority for reclamation at the

time of reclalation of mine.

Manner of waste disposal & configuration:

Top Soil initially removed will be temprerorly stacked on mine boundary or other location

within lease area. Then whatsoever quantity of overburden & unusefull waste generated during

the quarrying operation will be spread at the periphery of mine along the mine boundary on

specified dumping areas. After proper dumping of OB and unusefull waste on mine boundary

the preserved Top Soil will be spreyed over the OB and/or unsuefull waste dump. Stack of dump

OB, waste & Top soil so developed is proposed to be stabilized the by grass plantation or cutting

of local bushes and dence plantation on it as per plantation programme so that spillage of

dump does not occur in the surroundings.

Further if the area for dumping of OB gets short then the land (adjoining or nearby the mine)

owned or controlled by the lessee will be utilised with due permission of district mining office

for dumping of excess OB. Such excess OB dump will be utilised in priority for reclamation at the

time of reclalation of mine.

No need of planing for dumping management of waste and subgrade material as all ROM is

saleable except Top Soil and Overburden.

The area is approachable from district office Mahasamund by fair weather road. The area is

14.50 km from Mahasamund. The applied area is 4.00 km away from Bhoring bus stand.

Hospital is available at Achholi at 800 m/Belsonda at 8.50 km distance. The nearest railway

station is at Belsondha (9.00 km) (S.E.C.RLY) and Nearest active airport is Raipur (34.00 km).

Waste:

No mining waste except from mining losses & OB will be generated during excavation of Flag

stone. All ROM mineral will be used. Flag stone is usable as building material hence saleable

therefore no mineral waste will be generated which requires their due management.

Sub grade material:

Removal of broken stone out of lease area for making stone chip by due approval of

district authority after payment of applied fee or royalty. However it depends upon the

availability of market and demand.

Utilise for reclamation purpose within the mine itself.

Utilise for road or ramp maintanance within the mine itself.

not only add up as an aesthetic feature but will also act as a pollution sink. The species to be

grown in the areas should be dust tolerant and fast growing species so that a permanent

greenbelt is created. Plantation in the barrier zone and roads is necessary as these areas will

contain fine particulates resulting from mining operation and vehicle movement Plantation will

also be carried out as social forestry programme in village, school and the areas allocated by the

Panchayat/State authorities. Native plants like Neem, Peepal, Khejri and other local species will

be planted. A suitable combination of trees that can grow fast and also have good leaf cover

shall be adopted to develop the greenbelt.

Social infrastructure

For the social developmental program on the need base assessment some development

program will be undertaken by the project proponent i.e. development of or maintenance of

urinals, toilets, safety appliances & training program, confirming availability of pure and clean

drinking water, periodic health checkup program, transportation facility to labours and their

children’s to schools etc.

Awareness program be conducted about likely occupational health hazards so as to

have preventive action in place.

Promote occupational health and safety within workers in mine and develop safer and

healthier ways of working;

Occupational Health and Safety are important. Periodic assessment of it will be useful.

Identifying workplace hazards, assessing risks to employee health and safety, are important.

Health and Safety points are also important in many of the environmental aspects of the

workplace.

Except dust generation there is no source which can show a probability for health

related diseases and proper dust suppression will control dust generation and

dispersion.

Power requirement & supply/source:

Fossil Fuels :

Fuel is to be used in form of diesel for mining operations and running of tractors and other

transportation vehicles. Quantity for fuel will depend upon the usage of transportation vehicle

and other machineries and level of achievement of estimated production. Diesel will be

outsourced from nearby diesel pumps.

Electricity :

Electricity will be required for Pumping of water and for administrative building & rest shelters.

The requirement of Power is estimated as under-

Particulars

Develop and implement training sessions for management, supervisors and workers on

health and safety practices and legislation;

Drinking Water Management (source & supply of water):

Drinking water is available in dug well and tube well at nearby village of the applied area which

is portable, pure and clean. It is also proposed to provide hand pump if needed in the lease area

for mitigating of drinking water, such hand pump will be arranged after taking statutory

permission.Sewerage System: No construction or sewage waste is expected from the mining process.

However the domestic waste from the toilets shall be given treatment through septic tank and

Likely date of start construction and likely date of completion (time schedule for project) –

The proposed mining project will be started after obtaining Environmental Clearance of quarry

lease and order to enter in lease area by District Collector (Mining Branch). Consent to establish

& operate from CGCECB will also be taken if instructed by DEIAA.

Particulars

Land Cost (market value)

Administrative Building & Rest Shelters

Mining Machineries & Equipment’s

No R&R plan is required as the mine area does not cover any habitation. Hence the mining

activity does not involve any displacement of human settlement. No public buildings, places,

monuments etc. exist within the lease area or in the vicinity of the mine lease area. The mining

operation will not disturb/ relocate any village or need resettlement. Thus no adverse impact is

anticipated.

Impact of the stone mining will be positive, as it will upgrade the socio-economic status of local

inhabitants in the nearby areas by giving employments to poor people of nearby villages. Due to

this positive impact the living standard will increase and will lead to educational upliftment.

Effect on Flora & Fauna:

Mining is restricted to very small area. No study have been conducted or record found on effect

on Floora & Fauna for mine area. However mining activity causes impact on flora and fauna due

to land degradation/deforestation etc.,

Land Development & Establishment cost
