1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Preamble

Ordinary Sand is base of all types of Building works, Construction of Road,

Construction of Cement Concrete road, The need of Ordinary Sand is in all

fields are very essential as it is a compulsory material for all types of

construction, and Industries fields, Ordinary Sand Mines are providing

employments to the local Labour in Rural area, as the labour of rural area

have no any work for labour, They are Unemployed, Thus this proposed mine

is providing work to many labours and it is a good employment.

2.0 Executive Summary

Pintu Gopiji Vanzara is a proposed mine, as the demand of construction

material in all sectors are highly necessary, and This project is providing and

trying to fulfil major demands of Ordinary Sand in complete around area.

About 00-76-00 hectare of land is under possession of Pintu Gopiji VanzaraAt, Village : Pethapur, Taluka : Gandhinagar, Dist : Gandhinagar.

As per the statuary obligation this project needs environmental clearance from

department of Environment and forest dept. (GPCB) Gujarat. it is proposed

lease and to renew and start quarrying operations (production) Accordingly

project proponent has submitted form 1, pre-feasibility report and copy of

Approval letter from department of mines and geology Gujarat, to the state

level environmental assessment authority of Gujarat constituted by MOEF,

GOI for issuing environmental clearance, as per EIA, September 14.2006

notification.

3.0 Introduction of the Project/Background information :

3.1 Name of the proposed unit : Pintu Gopiji Vanzara

Registered Office : Pintu Gopiji Vanzara

67/ 68, Sector-2,

Nirnay Nagar, Ranip Road,

Ahmedabad.

Location of proposed unit : Village : Pethapur,

On River bed Sabarmati River

Patt Paiky S. No. 3030,

3031, 3053

Taluka : Gandhinagar.

Dist: Gandhinagar. (Gujarat)

Name of Owner : Pintu Gopiji Vanzara

3.2 Brief description of nature of the project :

It is a Ordinary Sand Quarrying, it contains Ordinary Sand which is used

in construction of infrastructures and road, railways and building

construction etc.

3.3 Demand - Supply Gap : As sand is used as raw material in

construction of building and infrastructure projects, the demand of sand

is increasing day by day. In past, demand was not too much but now a

days due to rapid industrialization and urbanization its demand

increasing with pace of time. At present, demand of sand is more than

the supply.

3.4 Imports vs. Indigenous Production : In Gandhinagar of Gujarat, a

number of sand mines are there. There is abundance of sand in the

area; it had become a major source of economy in the area/region.

3.5 Export Possibility : There is ban on sand export to other states in the

Gujarat by Govt. so export possibility of river sand from this area is

marginal. Major consumers of sand located almost in nearby areas in

the district.

3.6 Domestic / Export Markets : Sand produced is used locally as well as

circulated in nearby area. So clearly there is a huge market of sand in

the area.

3.7 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project :

By this mining project of river sand in the area, peoples get

employment, The project directly generates the employment for the

local people and indirectly for the others. Also the marketing of the

product generates the employment for peoples. By this project,

approximately Skilled labours-3 and Unskillled-10 to 15 labours on

project site.

4.0 Project Description :

4.1 Type of project including interlinked and interdependent project ifany : No others material is interlinked with this mining work.

4.2 Location (map showing general location, specific location andproject boundary & project site layout) with co-ordinates : The area

has been marked on Google map including the mining lease location.

This comprises the mining lease near village : Pethapur, Taluka :

Gandhinagar, Dist Gandhinagar of Gujarat location of the mining lease

is as under.

The geographical location of the project is as follows :

N E

230.15'34.78" 720 40'48.97"

4.3 Details of alternate sites, considered and the basis of selecting theproposed site, particularly the environmental considerations goneinto should be highlighted : No other site is considered for the

proposed project. The land has been allocated by government for the

mining only. As sand in the river is replenished every year by river so,

site is adequate for sand mining.

4.4 Size or magnitude of operation : B category manual.

The proposed Capacity / year is 3500 TPM. Total area of mining lease

is 00-76-00 Ha. The mining operation will be @ 3500 Tonne Production

of River sand per annum.

4.5 Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flowchart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. isgiven below:

Transportation to end use

4.6 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source,marketing area of final products. Mode of transport of rawmaterials And finished products :

No raw material is required during the mining process.

4.7 Resource optimization / recycling and reuse envisaged in the

project. If any, should be briefly outlined :

As a result of extraction of mineral, the rate of recharging of ground

water is likely to be increased considerably.

4.8 Availability of water its source, Energy/power requirement and

source should be given :

Total water requirement in the mine will be about 2.0 KLD for drinking &

domestic use, dust suppression and plantation. Drinking water will be

brought by water tanker from nearby village Pethapur. Diesel will be

used in dumpers and tractors.

Nearby village Pethapur is well electrified.

4.9 Quantity of wastes to generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for

their Management/disposal :

No waste will be generated. All the material is saleable.

4.10 Schematic representations of the feasibility drawing which give

information of EIA purpose :

According to MOEF mining project containing area ≤5 Ha. are

considered in category B2. Schematic representations of the feasibility is

as under.
