INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT /BACKGROUND INFORMATION
(i) Identification of project and project proponent. In case of mining project,
a copy of mining lease/letter of intent should be given
Jalahari Stone Quarry (case no 59/15-16) Lease is negotiated for the year
2015-16 by auction sale, over an area of 2.00Acres in village Jalahari, under
Tahasil -Ranapur in Nayagarh district of Odisha. is valid up to financial the
year 2019-20. The lease is granted 2.00Acres in favour of Sri Haribandhu
Behera
(ii) Brief description of nature of the project.
The project for production of ordinary stone (minor minerals) from Stone
Quarry has been proposed for an annual production of 624 Cum (max)
by Open Cast Semi-mechanised Extraction method.
(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region
These Stone boulders are used in almost any type of construction activity. It is
also the most important input in road construction activity. Further they are
also required by railway projects for track laying and other construction
activities. Thus in current times, where the focus of the governments is on
improvement of basic infrastructure like roads, railways, dams and other
social infrastructure – both in rural and urban areas , there is a constant need
for ensuring regular supply of these minor minerals.
(iv) Demand-Supply Gap
Due to ban on illegal mining and with increasing growth of infrastructure
industry the demand of construction material has increased by almost 50%.
India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world, and its focus since
last few years has been on infrastructure development. Minor minerals like
stone boulders/aggregates are one of the basic inputs in any kind of
construction work. Further since these are low value items and is voluminous
– the users of this basic
input- looks for local supply sources instead of transporting the material from
far away areas. With hectic construction activity in the area, there is always a
constant need of ensuring a regular supply of this basic input. Thus any
efforts for increasing minor mineral production in the district must be
encouraged to ensure smooth supply of aggregates to match the place of
Pre-feasibility Report
Jalahari Stone Quarry over an area of 2.00 acres. of Sri Haribandhu Behera

developmental activities in the area. Further, there are not many large scale
stone deposits in the districts and thus the focus is to systematically develop
known small and medium size deposits.
(v) Imports vs. Indigenous production
Minor mineral demand of the country is entirely met domestically, i.e there
are no imports of such low value mineral. In fact since these minerals are
low value – high volume items- efforts are made to source the material from
the nearest point of supply. This is to avoid high cost of transportation and
keeping the cost within reasonable limits.
(vi) Export Possibility
Not required
(vii) Domestic/ export Markets
The proposed mining activity is for obtaining o r d i n a r y s t o n e for sale
to nearby cities and towns located in the state of Odisha.
(viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project
The mining operation will be carried out by semi-mechanised method.
Keeping in view of semi-mechanised loading, sorting & sizing, OMS has
been assumed to be 1 Cu.M only. A total of 3 no. of workers are to be
employed in mine for production of 624 Cu.M. per annum ordinary stone.
Indirect employment through creation of shops, hotels, hired vehicles, etc
also can be generated to full fill the day to day requirements of the mining
personals.

Jalahari Stone Quarry over an area of 2.00Acre is negotiated in favour of Sri
Haribandhu Behera, At-Sanabada, Po-Begunia, Ps-Ranapur, Dist -
Nayagarh,Odisha. Mob:- 09937123696.
The lease area is bounded by 20˚ 09‟ 12.4” N to 20˚ 09‟ 15”N & 85˚21‟ 22.8” E to
85˚ 21‟ 26.6‟‟E. It is a part of the area covered in the Survey of India Toposheet
No. 73-H/8.
Connectivity
Lease area is accessible from Ranapur, Tahasil covering a distance of 11 km
blacktop road up to M.L area. The nearest railway station is located at
Begunia at a distance of 18 km from the lease area.
(ii) Land Form, Land use and Land ownership.
The mining lease hold area over 2.00acre contains Non-forest Govt.
waste land. Topography (along with map)
The area over 2.00acre is a part of an undulating hill range of NE treading
hill. The lease area is characterized by hilly terrain having NE-SW strike and
elevation from 102m. to 84m.
(iii) Existing land use pattern (agriculture, non-agriculture, forest, water
bodies (including area under CRZ)), shortest distances from the
periphery of the project to periphery of the forests, national park, wild
life sanctuary, eco sensitive areas, water bodies (distance from the HFL of
the river), CRZ. In case of notified industrial area, a copy of the Gazette
notification should be given.
There is neither perennial nor seasonal nala is flowing within the mining lease
area. Surface water in the region is drained by a seasonal nala. Seasonal nala
is in west of lease area at a distance of 4 km , Mining will be concentrated on
hill between the levels 102mRL & 84mRL and ground water table fluctuates
between 50mRL.Therefore, there is no possibility of ground water puncture
during the plan period of 5 year.
Pre-feasibility Report
Jalahari Stone Quarry over an area of 2.00 acres. of Sri Haribandhu Behera
12
There is no national park, wild life sanctuary, eco sensitive areas and
industrial area situated within 10Kms radius of the lease area.
During rainy season only the rain water passing through the working benches
and accumulate at the bottom of the quarry, so the wash off consisting of
loose sediments settled at the bottom of the quarry so there is no adverse
effect at present all parameters are within specified limits. The excavation pit
shall also serve as an additional rainwater harvesting structure. A substantial
amount of ground water recharge will take place through this pit
(iv) Existing Infrastructure.
There is no existing infrastructure, however during mining temporary rest
shelters for workers will be provided.
(v) Soil Classification.
As no toxic substance will be generated or involved, the impact on soil
quality is not likely to be more intensive than the existing level.
However, the dust generated during operation of mining activity,
loading and unloading and vehicular movements normally constitute
heavier particles that would readily settle on very small areas within
the lease area.
(vi) Climatic data from secondary sources.
The climate in the district is generally cold in winter and hot in summer with
temperature ranging from 70C to 45
0 C and annual rainfall is 1200 mm
Social Infrastructure available.
Nearest local market facilities are available at Rajsunakhala on everyday at a
distance of 8m. & while full fledged market facilities are available at
Nayagarh district in Odisha state.
Medical facilities are available at Rajsunakhala (08 km).
Primary education up to high school & college level is available at
Rajsunakhala.

CHAPTER – 6
PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE
(i) Mining Area (Processing Area)
Temporary arrangements like site office, rest shelters & approach roads etc
shall be provided. No permanent infrastructure is proposed
(ii) Residential Area (Non Processing Area)
As the local person shall be employed, no residential building are proposed.
(iii) Green Belt
7.5 meter width all along the lease boundaries will be utilized for plantation.
This area is calculated to be 0.1250 acre proposed to be planted by 250
saplings during the plan period. Local species like Mango, Neem,
Subabul & Mahaneem etc. is proposed to be planted at 2.5m spacing.
(iv) Social Infrastructure
In-line with the Social Responsibility Activities at other operational sites,
relevant developmental assistance shall be rendered depending on the local
needs identified during operation.
(v) Connectivity (Traffic and Transportation Road /Rail /Water ways etc.)
Lease area is accessible from Rajsunakhala, town covering a distance of 08km
blacktop road up to M.L area. The nearest railway station is located at
Begunia distance of 18 km from the lease area.
Water Quality Management
There is neither perennial nor seasonal nala is flowing within the mining lease
area. Surface water in the region is drained by a seasonal nala. Seasonal nala
is in west of lease area at a distance of 4 km , in east from the M.L area.
Mining will be concentrated on hill between the levels 102mRL & 84mRL
and ground water table fluctuates between 50mRL.Therefore, there is no
possibility of ground water puncture during the plan period of 5years.
There are no perennial nalas within the lease area. Drinking water source
for the area is from tube wells.
(vi) Air Quality Management
Since the proposed mining project will have the deployment of small
capacity machinery of tipper and drill. a little amount of noxious gas will be
released and emitted to air during the mining operation. There will be,
however, generation of a negligible amount of dust during excavation and
sizing of Granite / ordinary stone for construction of road, railway and
buildings. Suitable measures for dust suppression will be carried out by
Pre-feasibility Report
Jalahari Stone Quarry over an area of 2.00 acres. of Sri Haribandhu Behera
16
spraying water at dust generating points. Emission of noxious gas from
vehicles can be controlled by regular maintenance.
(vii) Waste Management
Waste will be utilized for construction and maintenance of haul road. Water
sprinkling will be done regularly for compaction of haul road during summer
season. If required lessee will stack waste material on proposed place for
dumpling/stacking with making garland drain & retaining wall to prevent
wash-off.Catch drains will be developed on either side of the road and
receive the wash‐off during rainy season and these drains will be cleaned
periodically depending upon the siltation on the floor of the drains.
(viii) Top-Soil Management
As the lease area is “Jalahari ” so the topsoil generation is negligible. During
plan period Lessee has proposed to use all the top soil for plantation
purpose. Lessee will maintain the records of top soil generation and
utilization in plan period.
(ix) Disposal of Mining Machinery:
As most of the machineries are on hired, removal of machinery can be done
any time as per requirement.
(x) Safety and Security
During mining, proper haulage roads will be provided for movement of
machinery and workers between the benches with or with out load. Exhaust
of ordinary stone will result deep quarry floor. Therefore, there will be risk of
falling down of man or animal to the quarries. So, barbed wire fencing shall
be required all around the working quarry.
(xi) Disaster Management and Risk Assessment:
High risk factors such as landslide, subsidence flood, fire, tailing dam failure
etc are neither encountered nor anticipated. As such, emergency plan for
quick evacuation, ameliorative measures are not proposed. Also no local
habitant exists in the area.
(xii) Care and maintenance during temporary discontinuance
A caretaker skeleton staff, mostly guard to take care of the lease area and
mine machinery shall be kept under the roll of the management in case of any
temporary discontinuation.
(xiii) Power Requirement & Supply / source.
Fuel (Diesel) would be used for operating equipments like dumper etc.
