1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Preamble

ordinary sand is base of all types of Building works, Construction of Road,

Construction of Cement Concrete road and infrastructure. 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 Existing mine is providing work to many labours and

it is a good employment.

2.0 Executive Summary

ASHOKBHAI KHUSHALBHAI ODE is an existing mine, as the demand of

construction material in all sectors are highly necessary, and this project will provide

and try to fulfill major demands of ordinary sand in complete around area. About

01.00.00 hectare of land is under possession of ASHOKBHAI KHUSHALBHAI

ODE At, Village : KARJAN, Taluka : SAYAR, Dist : VADODRA. As per the statuary

obligation this project needs environmental clearance from department of Environment

and forest dept.(GPCB) Gujarat. It is Existing lease and to 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 but the term of S.E.A.C. and S.E.I.A.A. of Gujarat is expired in July - 2013.

3.2 Brief description of nature of the project :

It is an existing plan of ordinary sand Quarrying, it will contains ordinary sand

which will be 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 VADODRA 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 Private so export

possibility of river sand from this area is nil.

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 interdepended project if any :

No other material is interliked with this mining work.

4.2 Location (map showing general location, specific location and project

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 area near village : KARJAN, taluka: SAYAR, Dist :

VADODRA of Gujarat location of the mining lease is as under.

Location map

The geographical location of

the project is as follows :

D- 21°52'1.15"N 73°14'24.36"E

4.3 Detail of alternate site, considered and the basis of selecting the existing

site, particularly the environment considerations gone into should be

highlighted :

No other site is considered for the existing 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 existing capacity N.A. / year 6000 TPM. Total area of mining lease is 01.00.00

Ha.The mining operation will be @ 6000 Tonne Production of River sand per annum.

4.6 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source,

marketing area of final products. Mode of transport of raw materials 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 3.0 KLD for drinking & domestic use,

dust suppression and plantation. Drinking water will be available by water tanker from

nearby village KARJAN. Diesel will be used in dumpers and tractors.

Nearly village KARJAN 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 :
