of mechanization done by the lessee in future.

Brief Information about the Project

The project has been proposed for mining of 33000 Tonnes of Stone by

opencast Mechanized method. The mine lease area is 2.35 ha. The expected life

of the mine is 10 years.

Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region

The mining project falls in the village-Mouja-Sunder Pahari, Thana:

Maheshpur, District: Pakur, Jharkhand and the area is devoid of industrial

growth. The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are

dependent on agriculture. Mineral wealth of the state provides the employment

opportunity to the people of the state as well as region also. Mining is one of

the major core sector industries which play a crucial role in the process of

country economic development. The mineral Stone finds extensive use in the

construction and infrastructural works.

The basic objective of the project is the effective utilization of material in the

country or region. Stone is the world's most commonly used material used in

making of road, railway track construction etc. Stone will help in the economic

growth of the country or region.

Stone is commonly used for the construction of walls of buildings, retaining

walls and buildings. Brick and concrete block are the most common


5

types of stone which is used in industrialized nations and may be either

weight-bearing or a veneer. Concrete blocks, especially those with hollow cores,

offer various possibilities in stony construction. They generally provide great

compressive strength, and are best suited to structures with light transverse

loading when the cores remain unfilled. Filling some or all of the cores with

concrete or concrete with steel reinforcement (typically rebar) offers much

greater tensile and lateral strength to structures.

Advantages:

• The use of material such as bricks and stones can increase the thermal

mass of a building and can protect the building from fire.

• Most types of stone typically will not require painting and so it can

provide a structure with reduced life-cycle costs.

• Stone is non-combustible product.

• Stony walls are more resistant to projectiles, such as debris from

hurricanes or tornadoes.

• Stony structures built in compression preferably with lime mortar can

have a useful life of more than 19 years as compared to 30 to 100 for

structures of steel or reinforced concrete.

Demands-Supply Gap

There is large demand of stone for road, railway track, building construction etc.

Imports vs. Indigenous Production

Development needs will be met only through indigenous produced stone

against the high cost of imported material.

Export Possibility

Project Proponent would like to sale out the mineral in domestic market only. Domestic/ Export Markets Project Proponent would like to sale out in domestic market

as per requirement. No export is proposed.

Employment Generation


6

About 32 persons will be employed along with Mine Manager, Mining Mate,

Store Keeper and Chowkidar.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Type of Project Including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects, If Any.

The mine is over an area of 2.35 hectares. The proposed production is 33000

Tonnes per annum. This is an independent mining project and there are no

interlinked projects involved.

The project falls under Category “B2” Project or activity 1(a) as per EIA

3.2 Details of Alternate Sites Mining is site specific so no alternative site is proposed.

3.4.1 Size or magnitude of operation

The mining lease is over an area of 2.35 ha. The proposed production is

33000/- Tonnes per annum. The average number of working days in the year

would be 300.

3.5 Physiogrpahy The area falls in G.T. sheet No. 72 P/14. The topography of the area is

predominantly undulating with hard rocks. The entire area has topography

with small ridges and undulating terrain with rocky outgrowths. The fertility of


7

soil is poor due to extensive erosion, Basic character and low retaining capacity

with granular textured stone distributed all over the region. Hilly areas consist

mainly hard rock i.e. Rajmahal Traps. It is having undulating topography and

slope from east to west. The entire lease area is under revenue category

(industrial land). A part of the area is under mining operation. No seasonal

stream or water regime is seen in this area and presence of faults and major

fractures are seen in regional area. In the area joints are well exposed. The

climate is tropical and is fairly hot during summer.

Vegetation: The mining lease area is free from any type of vegetation only few

bushes are present nearby mining lease area. But no tree is reported within the

Lease area.

3.5.1 Regional Geology:

During the Cretaceous period the Eastern Gondwana has witnessed two

prominent volcanic episodes, one in the early cretaceous (Rajmahal –Bengal,

Sylhet volcanism at 115 -118 Ma). There were other volcanic provinces during

this time in other parts of the world as well. The Sylhet volcanism could be

polycentred, coeval, extending between Sylhet and Rajmahal, like that of

Satpura – Narmada – Tapti province of Deccan volcanism. Moreover in the

Cretaceous stratigraphic sequence of Bangladesh (South of Meghalaya) volcanic

tuff and conglomerates are recorded at many levels.

Rajmahal Basin

The Rajmahal Hills, situated in the north eastern part of the Jharkhand State,

preserves Gondwana formations comprising Talchir, Barakar and Dubrajpur

Formations. These are overlain by the Rajmahal Formation made up of a series

of basaltic lava flows and associated intertrappen beds. The Durgapur beds

correlateble to the Dubrajpur Formation shows wide aerial extent in Damuda

basin in the western part of Burdwan district, West Bengal and consists of

feldspathic sandstone with occasional red and green shales, carbonaceous

sandstone, carbonaceous shales and lenses of dull coal. The Durgapur bed is

correlatable with Supra- Panchet in the Rajmahal coalfield. The fossil plant-


8

beds (inter-trappens) at Katangi hill are essentially cycadophytes and

pteridophytes belonging to onychiopsis sp., ctensis sp., Taenopteris sp. and

pagiophyllum sp. along with Upper Jurassic marker culcites sp.

Rajmahal Volcanics

(a) These rocks overlie Dubrajpur Fomation (Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic)

and emplaces overstep on to the Barakar Formation (Permian) and

Precambrian basement. These Basalts are known to continue towards east and

south– Bengal basin and Mahanadi basin. The Rajmahal trap in the eastern

part of India extends over an area of about 4300 km². The eruption took place

in a sub- aerial environment. In the Rajmahal hills Basaltic lava formed more

than 95% of the total exposure and the western margin; the Basalts

unconformably overlie the rocks of the Gondwana supergroup. The Rajmahal

Basalts indicate an age of around 116 Ma.

(b) The lava flows show gently dips towards the east and north, following the

basement topography at the time of eruption. There are at least 15 flows above

the ground and 28 flows beneath it. Numerous bentonitic deposits, occurring

mostly as pockets or thin beds, have been noted in the northeastern and

central sectors of the basalt outcrop, signifying that minor explosive volcanic

activity centred on these regions. The presence of current bedding, mud cracks

and large boulders of the basement rocks in the intertrappean beds east of

Bagmara suggest that the basin in which they were deposited was shallow.

(c) Rajmahal basalts generally range from quartz-tholeiitic basalt to dacite and

pitchstone. The flows vary in thickness from <1 to70 m. Significant volcanic

feature observed include vent sites, market by volcanic braccia, welded

agglomerate, tuff and lapilli-tuff (including volcanic bombs).Alkali basalts

olivine tholeiites have been intercepted in some boreholes in the Bengal basin.

(Source: Mine plan)

Local Geology

(i)The ML applied area for which mining plan is being prepared clearly indicates

the type of formation and local geology. The topography of the lease area is


9

almost flat. The lava flows show gently dips towards the south west to north

east, following the basement topography at the time of eruption. The presence

of columnar joints, mud cracks and large boulders of the basement rocks in

the inter trappean beds east of the area suggest that the basin in which they

were deposited was shallow. Columnar joints well exposed in the different

places of the area ML applied for lease.

(ii) Rajmahal basalts generally range from Quartz-Tholeiitic Basalt to Dacite

and Pitchstone. The flows vary in thickness. Significant volcanic feature

observed include vent sites, market by volcanic braccia, welded agglomerate,

tuff and lapilli-tuff (including volcanic bombs).Basalt has been covered by

alluvium soil, derived from weathering of the basalt.

Soil cover - The soil cover wherever it is present in the area consists of silty to

sandy type black in colour which are the products of physical and chemical

weathering of the Trappean rocks . The clayey soil in general is absent in the

area. However, the clayey soil is reported on the south western part of the lease

area. No organic matter has been reported from these clayey soils. The small

bushes and shrubs are prevalent at the top of the hillock.

3.6 Project description with process details

3.6.1 Method of Mining

Taking into consideration the massive nature of the stone deposits and

availability of the deposit at shallow depth in the present area, it is proposed to

use the open cast mechanized mining only. The operations like drilling of shot


10

hole , sorting of ore and breaking at the required sizes will be done manually so

as to deploy the 100 mm dia wagon drilling machine to drill and blast holes

having burden and spacing of 3m X 3.5 m in stagger grid pattern. Muffle

blasting will be adopted as precautionary measure. Drilling and blasting

carried out by engaging authorized explosive agency under competent

supervision. However, regular blasting is not required at initial stage.

Secondary rock breaking will be done-using hydraulic rock breaking to produce

boulders of required size for the crushing plant.

The quarry benches will be of dimension of 3mX 6m and it will start from the

existing quarry initially and it will continue towards south of the lease area

along with suitable ramp and haulage system. The provisions of Metalliferous

Mines Regulations Act, 1961 will be complied by adopting the 3mX6m

benching system. The mining will be done with the help of tools such as drills,

jacks-hammer, compressors, hand shovel, picks, excavator etc. (Source: Mine

plan)

Drilling:

Drilling will be done with the help of Jack-hammer. In the mine the diameter of

hole is kept at 32 mm diameter hole or 110 mm hole diameter of wagon drill

m/c. The lease shall mine by slice method of each 1.5m with jack hammer

drilling.

Blasting:

Blasting is required for fragmentation and dislodging the hard, massive stone

(Dolerite). For this shallow hole drilling and blasting method is proposed. The

shallow hole drilling shall be made by Jackhammer rock drills driven by air

compressors. The depth of the hole ranges from 800mm to 1200mm.

All the holes shall be blasted by safety fuse firing system. No definite sequence

of blasting can be adhered to for shallow hole blasting. Blasting in the area

shall be done on contract basis by an agreement with the license holder

agency, to conduct the work. These contractors have their own safety explosive


11

container. The hole will be blasted by using detonating cord, Special Gellatin,

Delay Detonator, R-cord, Ordinary Plain, Safety Fuse.

Loading and Transportation:

The stone rock shall be loaded by single excavator into dumpers of 10 ton

capacity for its transportation to the crushing plant.

Nature of Waste

Stone is exposed in the quarry face and there is a thin layer morrum

soil in this area. The morrum will be dump in the lease area with

suitable p r e c a u t i o n in the plan period & will be used for

backfilling in the conceptual period. As there is no huge soil, so there

is no question of permanent dump. Entire extraction of stone will be

sent to the crusher or will be sold so no question for waste dump.

The rock fragments of small size are also resulted after mining. The

waste/overburden/intercalated waste in the area is only intermixed

soil. The waste rock produced shall be loaded by excavator and

dumped by dumper for its transportation to the reject dump yard &

when required for making road, the waste material shall be used. It is

also proposed to stack the top soil of the area where development of

green belt is proposed. A retaining wall also is erected to protect

washout of the top soil layer of 0.5 m thickness shall be spread over

the backfilled area for a forestation. The total waste rock to be

handled in five years is 16409.60 cum and detail is stated in the

The proposed mine will bring about economic benefits to the state in the form of

Royalty of mineral and to the local people by getting direct and secondary

employment opportunities. The material is in high demand at the local market

for real estate industry. Stone is commonly used for the construction of walls of

buildings, retaining walls and buildings. Brick and concrete block are the most

common types of Stony which is used in industrialized nations and may be

either weight-bearing or a veneer. Concrete blocks, especially those with hollow

cores, offer various possibilities in Stone construction. They generally provide

great compressive strength, and are best suited structures with light transverse

loading when the cores remain unfilled. Filling some or all of the cores with

concrete or concrete with steel reinforcement (typically rebar) offers much

greater tensile and lateral strength to structures.

Advantages:

• The use of material such as bricks and stones can increase the thermal

mass of a building and can protect the building from fire.

• Most types of Stone will not require painting and so it can provide a

structure with reduced life-cycle costs.

• Stony is non-combustible product.

• Stonywalls are more resistant to projectiles, such as debris from

hurricanes or tornadoes.

• Stony structures built in compression preferably with lime mortar can

have a useful life of more than 500 years as compared to 30 to 100 for

structures of steel or reinforced concrete.

This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the

society/economically backward population in the area. It provides employment

to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly. The mine management

will also help nearby villages by providing aid to school, conducting medical

and social awareness camps, helping in formation of self-help groups, etc.

Thus the project will bring about socio-economic improvement of the area and

will prove beneficial to the area.
