PART-A 1.0 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION a.) Briefly describe the topography, drainage pattern, vegetation, climate, rainfall data of

the area applied/mining lease area.

Topography::The area exhibits undulating topography. The shape of the lease is irregular. The latitude and longitude of all the pillars are duly marked on the Surface plan and the list of the same is already mentioned in Section (b) on page 4. The elevation of the area varies between 76.5 to 86.5 m showing 10 m difference in relief. Drainage pattern:There is no prominent drainage pattern exists within the lease area. However, rain water flows along the natural slope within the lease area Vegetation: The area is scanty of vegetation with scattered bushes. No other prominent trees exist. Climate: Moderate climate prevails in this area with temperature variation between 38oC (Summer) to 12oC (Winter). Rainfall: The average rain fall ranging 600 to 800 mm per annum between June to September months.

b.) Regional Geology: - The Vadodara district can be divided in two main geomorphic units –the eastern hilly, medium to high relief terrain and the western plain area. The eastern portion of the district comprised the ChhotaUdepur, Jabugam and Nasvadi talukas. The hilly area has two types of topography. In the north there are irregular hills and ridges with intervening valleys forming a high relief whereas in the south the low flat topped hills of Deccan Quartzites along with rolling mounds give rise to a medium relief. The western plain has got a flat, low lying surface and a thick pile of alluvium. The Narmada and the Mahi are the chief rivers of the district. Besides these two rivers, the Jambuva, the Surva, the Vishvamitri and the Dhadhar flow through the district and empty into the Gulf of Cambay (Khambhat) Western portion of Vadodara district comprises of alluvium of recent origin, while in the eastern lithology consist part of granite, quartz pegmatite granitoid, gneiss, schist, dolomite, phyllite and sand stone. The general succession of rocks found in the district is given in Table. Table: General Succession of Vadodara District (Source: From GPCB Website)

11 Project No.205

The site/study area lies in the western plains. At the immediate site environs, the lithology is dominated by the Mahi flood plains & delta deposits of the Katpur Formation which are of Recent (Holocene) age.

Local Geology On the basis of the geological survey on checked by Geological Survey of India the geology of Vadodara district is described as below: The granite gneisses and an Aravali Metasedimentary rocks occupy a large part of the district in its Eastern portion. The Aravali rocks comprise an interrelated sequence of quartzite, Mica-sophists and phyllite with conglomerate at the base. Champaner rocks occupy a large area around the old town of Champaner. These rocks can be divided into two parts separated by an unconformity. The lower part is contributed by graphite sadists, dolomite limestone and phosphate phyllite whereas the upper part comprises magnetite quartzite, manganiteronsphyllite and cake granite

Exposed mineral is excavated by the formation of five benches of 6m height. The width of bench shall be 6m. Mining is proposed by the deployment of hydraulic excavators and tractors and dumpers shall be used for haulage and transportation. Face advancement, soil dump and mineral reject dump is marked on reclamation plan.

The edge of excavation shall be adequately sloped and secured so as to prevent danger of sliding as per the Regulation 106 of the Metalliferous Mines Regulation, 1961 The face slope will be at 70 degree and overall bench slope will maintain at 45 degree. The activities involved in the mining are:

Excavation and loading of mineral: Excavation and loading of mineral will be proposed by deploying hydraulic excavator withdumpers/ trucks. System of Drilling and Blasting - The quartzite of the area is medium hard. Thus for proper rock fragmentation the system of drilling & blasting is adopted. The targeted production will be met by drilling & blasting of shallow depth holes which will be drilled by Wagon drill and explosive is ANFO with Nonel. The big boulders will be broken by rock breaker. The broad blasting parameters are given below:

3.0 MINE DRAINAGE

a) Minimum and maximum depth of water table based on observations from nearby wells and water bodies

Minimum and maximum depth of water table based on observations from nearby wells and water bodies is 35m and 40m respectively Indicate maximum and minimum depth of Workings. The maximum and minimum depth of the proposed working will be 26m & 6m respectively

b) Quantity and quality of water likely to be encountered, the pumping arrangements and places where the mine water is finally proposed to be discharged Surface water body is absent in the lease area. Ground water level is also not likely to be touched due to mining. But the accumulation of rain water in the mined out voids is not ruled out. Proposal for pumping water from quarry floor- The quarry floor gets logged with rain water. The accumulated rain water slowly percolates downward and part of it gets evaporated. Mining will resume only in the month of October. There is no proposal for pumping water from the quarry bottom. Natural regression has been considered enough to resume mining by the month of October. Garland drains are excavated around pits to prevent the water entering into the pit. The quartzite is inherently inert mineral and there is no discharge of water or any other effluent from this mine and also no generation of any toxic or hazardous substance which may affect the quality of water in buffer zone of lease area. Therefore, proposed mining shall not cause any detrimental impact on water quality.

c) Describe regional and local drainage pattern. Also indicate annual rain fall, catchments area, and likely quantity of rain water to flow through the lease area, arrangement for arresting solid wash off etc. The regional drainage show radial pattern Draining of water may not be much problem in this area as annual rain fall is only about 600 mm to 800mm. Further it is observed that due to porous nature of the exposed formation the rain water gets percolated quickly by ground seepage. The rain water dries up quickly whenever there is substantial rain fall. During the past years no significant accumulation of water has been observed in the small working pits of earlier quarrying operation of the area. To control the erosion and sedimentation of seasonal nallas, garland drains will be formed all along the ultimate pit limit. These drains will be connected to the seasonal nallas after desiltation at the sump proposed at the mine boundary.

8.2 Environment Impact Assessment:

(i) Land area usage:

At the end of 2020-21, the damage to the landscape in the form of pit & road, about 0.54hect will be degraded. As the deposit is almost flat bedded type.

The area influence of mining at the end of 2020-21 is given below:

TABLE – 8.3

Particulars Present Position

of the Area in Hect.

Position at the End of Plan Period

A. Mining Activity i) Pits 0.6812 0.6812 ii) Dumps 0 0

iii) Road/Building 0.00 0.00 iv) Plantation 0 0 B. Remaining virgin land 0.00 0.00 Total Area 0.6812 0.6812

(ii) Air Quality:

Dust will be generated from drilling, blasting, transportation and sizing, which will be minimized by taken preventive measures such as wet drilling, water sprinkling, and provision of dust mask providing to workers.

(iii) Water Quality:

The area is sloppy and during rainy season generally rain water flows in slope (NE to SW direction). The mine floor is kept slightly sloppy for natural drainage of water.

The deposit does not contain any harmful contents such as sulfur, potash etc, so it is not going to affect the quality of water in surrounding area.

The deposit in this lease is elevated from ground level and after complete extraction of mineral there will no deep pits so accumulation of water in pit is not a concern.

(iv) Noise Levels

Noise pollution due to operation of drilling, blasting and occasional plying trucks will not cause any problem to the inhabitants of this area because

Chandpura Quartzite Quarry Lease Area (00-68-12Hect) S. No. 41P of Village- Chandpura, Ta- Waghodia, Dist- Vadodara

Shri Nasir Khan Ali Mohmad Pathan

32 Project No.205

there is no human settlement in the close proximity to the lease area. The nearest village is far away to be affected by noise pollution.

During blasting, all the necessary measures will be taken for minimizing noise like adopting controlled blasting measures.

(v) Vibration Levels (Due to Blasting)

During blasting, all the necessary measures will be taken for minimizing noise and vibration, like optimum charge per delay, various controlled blasting techniques etc. However there will be little impact in and around 500 mts of this area.

(vi) Water Regime

Surface water: There is no surface water accumulation within the area of mining, and hence there will not be any impact on surface water.

Ground Water: The mining excavation will not go deeper down the ground level, because limestone deposit is an elevated one, above the ground level, excavation of which will never touch the ground water table. Hence no question of ground water pollution arises.

(vii) Acid Mine Drainage

The deposit does not contain any harmful contents such as sulfur, potash etc, so it is not going to affect the quality of water in surrounding area. Also no dumps are to be maintained lease area to cause any AMD issue.

(viii) Surface Subsidence

The mined out pit will not be deep down in the ground so no risk of Surface subsidence involves with this project.

(ix) Socio Economics

Mining in this lease will give more job opportunity directly and indirectly to the local people. This will reduce in the migration of jobless labourers from native places to other distant places.

The project will not generate hazardous dust and also human settlement is about 1.5 kms away from mining area. Thus mining will not have any impact on the village human settlement.

(x) Historical Monuments

There is no monuments related to historical importance found in the area.
