2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent
Application of mining for soil used in Brick kiln of Brick Earth Mining project M/S Fiza Ent
Udyog from Khasra/Gata Nos-352,39,293,366,Area-2.022 Hectare at Village-
Parasrampur,Tehsil-Raniganj,District-Pratapgarh,Uttar Pradesh of of Mohd Sabil,S/o:M H M
Haneef,30,Chaksara,Tehsil-Raniganj,District-Pratapgarh,Uttar Pradesh.
2.2 Brief description of the nature of the project
Brick kiln are seasonal unit are either in small sector or in cottage sector. Clay brick industry in
India uses soil as raw material and slack (small size) coal as fuel. Estimate of total mineable

reserve quantity comes to be 35086 m3 or 42103 tons up to permissible depth of 2.0 m. As per
Brick Kiln capacity yearly production of bricks are 22.5 Lac bricks/ season for that the required
volume of brick clay will be 6818 cum/Annum. .
2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region
The production of Brick Earth will benefit to the state in the form of royalty. Apart from this
project operation will provide employment directly and indirectly to the people residing in
vicinity, thus improving the Socio-economic status of the area.
2.4 Demands-Supply Gap
Bricks are produced in India in small or cottage scale brick kilns and Clamps, operates
seasonally. The raw materials in the brick kilns include soil, coal, paddy husk, wood & locally
available agro wastes to some extent. There are large variations in quality of soils available in
different parts of the country and also in brick manufacturing process.
Brick are good building material for construction activities but quality of brick differs place to
place. There are large variations in quality of soil available in different part of the country and
also brick manufacturing process. Brick kiln are seasonal unit are either in small sector or in
cottage sector. Clay brick industry in India uses soil as raw material and slack (small size) coal as
fuel.
2.5 Import vs. Indigenous:
Import does not apply in the present case as Brick is indigenously available at number of mines
under operation in Uttar Pradesh.
2.6 Export Possibility:
Export possibility is neither plausible nor there is any such demand.
2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets
Due to the increased industrial and infrastructural growth of the rural and urban areas demand of
Brick is very high. Construction companies and local vendors in the nearby town and cities are
the potential market for the brick made up of brick clay.
2.8 Employment Generation

3.3 Details of alternate sites considered
Besides this any other alternative other than Brick Earth mining like mining of rock in-situ
quarry shall result in exorbitant cost, result in comparatively higher land degradation and cause
more environmental impacts.
3.4 Size or magnitude of operation
The proposed mine has lease agreement over an Area –2.022 Hectare. The project has been
proposed for an annual production of 6818 cum soil by open cast manual mining from the
Khasra/Gata Nos-352,39,293,366,Area-2.022 Hectare at Village-Parasrampur,Tehsil-
Raniganj,District-Pratapgarh,Uttar Pradesh.
3.5 Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart showing the
project layout, component of project etc. should be given)a
The proposed project is to mine Brick Clay from plot (s) under agreement sustainably and
scientifically. Mining will be opencast and manual using hand tools only in the allotted plots
keeping the nearby plot (s) unaffected. Following geo-scientific methods are proposed to carry
out the activity. Mining will be confined to extraction of Brick Clay in its existing form from the
allotted plot(s) only. Mining of Brick Clay from the allotted plot(s) will be restricted to a
maximum depth of 2.0 m from the surface in proper bench form as per MCR-1960 and MMR

nearest Airport is Allahabad Airport : 55 Km (S).
4.2 Land form, land use and land ownership: The mine agreement area is agricultural private
land.
4.3 Topography (along with map): Agricultural plain
4.5 Existing infrastructure: The existing land use of mine lease area belongs to landuse
category “Uncultivated land” and shall continue to be so even after the current mining project is
over.
4.6 Geology: The geology of the district exposes nothing beyond Ordinary River borne alluvium
which is not old. The mineral products are few and unimportant. The minerals of commercial
value are the nodular limestone conglomerate known as kankar, brick and saltpetre. The soil in
the district is light sandy or dense clay of yellowish brown colour. The sand found in the rivers is
medium to coarse grained, greyish white to brownish in colour and is suitable for construction
purposes.
4.7 Geographical Structure
Location and Boundaries
The District lies between the paralleles of 25034' and 26
011' north latitude and between the
meridians of 81019' and 82
027' east longitude extending for some 110 km. from west to east. It is
bounded on the north by district Sultanpur,on the south by district Allahabad,on the east by
district Jaunpur and on the west by Fatehpur and north-east by district Rae Bareli. In the south-

Page 10 of 11
west the Ganga forms the boundary of the district for about 50 km. separating it from Fatehpur
and Allahabad and in the extreme north-east the Gomti forms the boundary for about 6 km.
4.8 Climatic conditions:
The district has four rain-gauge stations with record of three of them extending back to about 100
years.. The south-west monsoon usually arrives over the district by about the middle of June and
withdraws by the end of September. The average rainfall of the district is 1393.1 mm. About 87
percent of the annual rainfall is recorded during the period June to September, July being the
rainiest. The monsoon in the district generally advances from the south-west to the north-east.
4.9 Social Infrastructure
The social infrastructure like educational facilities (primary and higher secondary schools,
degree college), drinking water supply, post and telegraph, public transportation and hospitals
are by and large are available in the study area.
5. PLANNING BRIEF
5.1 Planning Concept
The proposed project is to mine brick clay from plot(s) sustainably and scientifically. The minor
mineral (clay) will be excavated from the plot(s) as per mining rules and casting of raw bricks
will be done which will be transported to the kiln through horse cart, trolleys etc. through village
chak roads. Mining will be opencast Manual keeping nearby plot(s) unaffected. Maximum depth
of mining will be only up to 2.0 m as per agreement.
5.2 Population Projection
There is no projection of population as the mining activity will be carried out during day time
only.
5.3 Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (Physical & Social)
Adequate infrastructure facilities are available in the vicinity of mine lease area and due to the
mining activities; no extra infrastructure over and above the existing infrastructure is required.
5.4 Amenities/Facilities
Rest Shelter: Rest shelter along with first-aid station complying with all the provisions
of Mines Rules shall be provided by project proponent outside lease area
