excavated land is proposed to use as water reservoir. At the end of life of mine, total excavated area will
be 0.82 Hectare which will be left over for water reservoir which would have a positive impact by
recharging the ground water table.
2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.
Masonary Stone is used for buildings, roads, railway tracks (ballast), highways as crushed stone (gitty)
etc. Over the centuries
Masonary stone have been used in construction of numerous landmark buildings- forts, palaces,
temples, mosque, monuments, etc.
Color & Pattern: reddish brown colour.
Use of Masonary Stone:
Masonary Stone is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material. Construction Masonary
Stone is a stone which is composed of quartzite. More generally in construction, specifically the term
"Masonary Stone" is used for any stone i.e. quartzite, sand stone, granitic schist/gneiss rock useful as
building stone.
2.4 Demand-Supply Gap
Rajasthan has been bestowed with huge reserves of Masonary Stone. So far there is no problem as such
of shortage of supply of Masonary Stone in the state. The present hard times faced by the industry in
the state are in fact a result of imbalance of demand and supply of Masonary Stone in the market. Lured
by the high profit and margins of the trade, several entrepreneurs have entered in the industry. With
the advent of modern technology in the past few decades, the production of Masonary Stone has
increased like anything. The cost of production has come down and the speed and quality of production
Parabatsar Masonary Stone Mine, M.L. No 61/1991 Pre Feasibility Report
5
have improved a lot. Moreover, the reduction in wastage has also resulted in increased production. All
this resulted in supply of huge surplus to the demand in the market.
Masonary Stone has now become the cheapest and best option for the building constructions besides
the other uses. The demand of Masonary Stone has grown steadily in the past few decades. Through the
supply of Masonary Stone in market is much more than the demand.

Masonary Stone in the region as well as country. Local and regional economy will also improve due to
proposed mining project.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Water Quality Management:
No water reservoir located in the lease area. The rain water will not accumulate in the working, which
will be dewatered by centrifugal pump of 15 H.P. The dewatering is proposed through a sump made in
the bottom of the pit to check the silt, which spread in the nearby area. The proposed deepest working
is above the ground water table thus quality of water will not decrease by proposed mining. Water table
in the area is sufficiently below 30-40 m the ground surface. No toxic mineral is present, which pollute
the quality of ground water. No tailing pond is proposed, which pollute the quality of ground water. The
mined out area will be converted into a small water reservoir which will support to recharge the ground
water level of the area, which shall be useful as to the society during post mining scenario.
Domestic waste water will be generated from mine office toilet only. Generated domestic waste water
will be disposed through septic tank followed by soak pit.
Air Quality Management:
Water sprinklers are proposed on haul road and at work place for dust suppression. Dust mask will be
provided to the operator & mine workers.
The source of air pollution is vehicular movement but the transportation will be towards the lower side
hence the impact is not very much significant. Vehicular emission will be controlled and regularly
monitored. Loading is also creating air pollution. Water spraying is proposed over the material before
loading and transportation. Covered trucks will be used in transportation. Green belt will be developed
to arrest dust pollution. Proposed mining is manual and no processing/ grinding unit is proposed in the
applied area, hence the air pollution will remain in permissible limit. For drilling wet drilling method will
be used to control fugitive dust at source. Blasting will be done by covering blast holes with cement bags
filled with sand so that chances of fly rocks will be minimized. Green belt development will be done to
arrest dust pollution.
Noise Management:
The proposed mining will be done by opencast method but some amount of noise will be generated due
to operation of Dumper, JCB and Excavator which will be deployed on hire basis for removal of
overburden and due to vehicular movement. Transportation vehicles will be properly maintained and
provided with good silencers. Precaution and regular maintenance of Dumper, JCB & Excavator,
replacement of damaged/ worn out parts when ever required will be taken. Ear plugs will be provided to
operator and mine workers. Trees will be planted which will attenuate the noise levels. Blasting will be
done during day time. Blasting will be avoided in the morning and evening hours, on foggy days, at night
time and at times of high wind velocity. All workers and other persons will be sent away in a safe zone

prior to the blasting. Drilling will be done with the help of sharp drill bits. Trees will be planted along the
barrier of 7.5 m along the boundary of ML area and along haul road which will act as a buffer for noise.
The greenbelt with species of rich canopy will further attenuate the noise levels. The main source of
noise generation in drilling machine is compressor. Compressor will be fitted with an acoustic enclosure.
Solid Waste Management:
Top Soil: No top soil will be generated. use in plantation.
Nature of Waste: The waste in the area is only fractured rocks of Masonary Stone, The total waste rock
to be handled in the five years is given below:

Total 2048
Maximum height & spread of dump: The height of dump will be kept 5 m. The total overburden in five
years will be about 2048 MT of waste. Retaining wall of rubble stone towards lower altitude side which
will prevent the spreading of waste and garland drain is proposed towards lower side of the dumps to
check the rolling down from the dumps/ to check the silt during monsoon.
Dumping Site: The waste is proposed to dump in 0.02 ha area towards western side in the ML area. The
height of proposed dump will be 10 m x 20 m.
Liquid Effluent: Domestic waste water will be generated from office toilet only. Generated domestic
waste water will be disposed through septic tank followed by soak pit.
Green Belt Development:
Total 132 trees will be planted in 0.33 Hectare land which is 33% of the total lease area for plantation.
Native Species like Neem, Khejri, Shisham, Babool and other trees which are native and more suitable
to local soil are proposed to be planted. All safeguards for growing trees will be taken care and if any
lost would be replaced. About Rs/- 10,000/- per year will be spent on plantation .
Reclamation Plan:
As the continuity of mineral may be goes in depth beyond the present reserves limit. Thus at this stage
reclamation is not proposed. The scheme of reclamation will be provided at proper time. Presently the
excavated land is proposed to use as water reservoir. At the end of life of mine, total excavated area will
Parabatsar Masonary Stone Mine, M.L. No 61/1991 Pre Feasibility Report
20
be 0.82 Hectare which will be left over for water reservoir which would have a positive impact by
recharging the ground water table.
Socio-Economic Impact:
The mining activity will have positive impact due to direct and indirect employment and development of
ancillary industries. The project involves no displacement.
Safety and Security:
All safety measures as per mines act will be adopted. Barbed Wire Fencing is proposed all around the
proposed working/excavation to check the inadvertent entry of human and livestock in the mining area.
A watchman is proposed for ward and watch duty for security purpose. In the period of discontinuance
the proposed watchman will continue for ward and watch duty. The safe working is proposed in the
supervision of technical and qualified supervisory staff.
Occupational Safety and Health: All safety measures prescribed under mining laws will be followed
strictly. All workers will be medically examined in pre- placement phase and also periodically. First Aid
Personnel with First aid kit will be available at the mine site to provide first aid to injured person.
Arrangement for transportation of persons to nearby medical facilities will be made. Potable water
facility will be provided to mine workers. Personal protective equipments (earmuffs/ earplugs, helmets,
face masks, gloves, goggles) will be provided to mine workers as safeguards.
DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The proposed working will be done by opencast mining method. No big machineries are proposed. Face
height is not proposed high. No tailing dam is proposed. Thus high risk accidents like land slide,
subsidence, flood, inundation, fire, seismic activities etc. not come across. In case of accidents, a well
equipped first aid station is proposed at mine site for giving first aid to injured person. A vehicle will
always remain at site for any miss happening.
