2.2 Brief description & nature of the project

The proposed mining project is an open cast hill slope mining project. A letter of intent has

been granted in favor of the proponent by the Department of Industries (Geological Wing)

Government of Himachal Pradesh for mining stone. The mining will be confined to the

mining lease area only from which maximum of 21529 MT of stone including waste & top

soil will be extracted during fifth year and the total handling of stone, mine waste & top soil

during five years will be 1,01,118 MT. The year wise production schedule is as follows:


Year wise production of Stone, mine waste & top soil:

Year Stone Mine

Top soil Total

1st year 9310 499 171 9980

2nd year 15200 815 285 16300

3rd year 16000 856 290 33446

4th year 18600 994 269 19863

5th year 20000 1320 209 21529

Source: Approved Mining Plan

Thus, during five years total production of Stone, mine waste & top soil will be 1,01,118

MT. No drilling & blasting is proposed.

2.3. Need for the project & its significance for country or region

The project involves the excavation of stone , the most accessibly natural resource and is the

major basic raw material used for the construction of buildings, bridges and roads. The

production of minerals is a function of the availability of natural resources, the economy of

the area and the various developmental and infrastructural works being undertaken in the

area like road construction, hydroelectric projects etc. And thus, the demand of stone and

crushed grit has increased considerably for the construction of buildings and other

infrastructures. These are considered as the most effective construction materials ever used.

Due to innumerable uses of stone & crushed grit, these are highly in-demand products in the

construction industry.


2.4. Demand & Supply gap

Building huge infrastructures particularly in roads and housing sectors require basic

building raw materials. So, the demand of stone & crushed grit is ever growing with the

growth of the infrastructure sector in our country. The requirement for the minerals is always

high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore, there is always a good demand of minerals in

the domestic market.

2.5 Imports vs Indigenous production

The demand of stone & crushed grit is high in the domestic market and stones are

abundant in the existing mining area and can be excavated indigenously.

2.6 Export possibility

There is no proposal for export of the minerals. There is already a high demand in the

domestic market to which the extracted minerals can cater.

2.7 Domestic/Export markets

There is an ever increasing demand of minerals in the domestic market.

Export Market: The existing mining is for indigenous consumption for real estate, road

making etc. so there is no proposal for export of stone & crushed grit.

2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to project

The total manpower required for the existing mining project is around 8-10 individuals.

Indirect employment is also expected due to the associated activities.


3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Type of project including interlinked and interdependent project, if any

The proposed project is an open cast hill slope mining project of stone to establish a stone

crusher and to fulfill the demand of mineral to this stone crusher, the present mining lease

has been applied for. The existing mineral will be excavated in its natural form and be used

in the stone crusher for manufacturing of grit.

3.3 Details of alternative sites

Minerals are site specific and the letter of intent has been granted for this particular area,

hence, no alternative site is examined for mining.

3.4 Size or magnitude of operation

The area of proposed mining lease is 15-05-00 Bighas- 1.2040 hectare and is located in

Mouza Kabaharguda, Tehsil & District Solan, H.P. The maximum rated capacity of the

project will be 21529 MT of stone, mine waste & top soil during fifth year of mining.

3.5 Project description with process details method of mining

This is an open cast hill slope mining project, confined to the extraction of stone from the

mining site. The operation will be manual & semi- mechanical with use of hand tools like


shovel, hammer & crow bars along with mechanical excavator etc. The mineral will be

collected in its exiting form and be used in the stone crusher to manufacture grit.

3.6 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing

area of final products mode of transport of raw material and finished product

No raw material is required in the proposed project. The operation involves the extraction of

stone in its existing form which is going to be transported to the stone crusher directly

through tractor trolleys/tippers for the manufacturing of grit.

3.7 Resource optimization/recycling and reuse

The proposed mining lease area is located on the hill slope and the material so extracted

once, can not be replaced or replenished.

3.8 Availability of water, its source energy/power requirement and source

Water requirement:

Activity Water Requirement (KLD)

Dust suppression 0.4 KLD

Domestic use 0.2 KLD

Plantation 0.4 KLD

Total 1.0 KLD

There is no natural source of water in or near the mining site.Thus,water shall be procured

from the water supplier through tanker.

Power requirement:

All mining activities will be carried out in a manual manner. The material will be extracted

and loaded into tractor trolleys/tippers by the workers themselves. The operation will be


done only from sunrise to sunset. So, there is no power requirement for the mining activities.

But fuel is required for the transportation of the excavated minerals.

3.9 Quantity of wastes to be generated (Liquid and Solid) and scheme for their

management/disposal

Solid waste generated and its disposal: Solid waste generated from the mining activities

shall be in the shape of fines of the stone & dust which shall be used for spreading over the

exhausted benches as suggested in the mining plan and the top soil be spread over it for

raising the plantation.

Liquid Effluent: No liquid effluent will be generated at the mining site due to the mineral

excavation.

4.3 Topography & brief Geology of the Mining Area:

The rock in and around the mining lease area is massive sand stone and subordinate

shale of Kasauli formations. The sand stone is very hard in nature and make it suitable for

making angular grit. The rocks are striking in NE-SW direction 25º-35º amount of dip in

South direction. The rocks exposed in the area show the presence of disconformities in the

form of joints and fractures. The rocks have well developed joint pattern which make it

possible to break without resorting to the blasting and can be broken and excavated

with the help of crow bar and hammer. However, the general trend around the lease area is

N45º E to S 45º W. The detailed Geology of the region has been discussed in Approved

Mining Plan.

4.4 Existing Land use Pattern and Shortest Distances from Forests, Water Bodies,

Eco-Sensitive Areas etc.

The proposed mining lease area is a part of hill slope having very less growth of vegetation

and is undeveloped land. There is no forest land or agricultural land in the mine area. There

is no water source or natural spring near the mining area. There is no Eco-sensitive area near

the proposed mining lease area.

4.5 Existing infrastructure

The site has no existing infrastructure except for connecting roads for transportation.

4.6 Soil Classification

The hill slope area, in which the proposed mining lease area falls, comprises of hard sand

stone & shale. Local shrubs and bushes are existing in the area. In the surrounding villages

of the mining project, agriculture fields are existing having some irrigated and unirrigated


land. There exists no forests near the mining lease area. The nature of the soil is generally

loam and suitable for cultivation.

4.7 Climatic Data from secondary sources

Rainfall varies significantly with altitude of the area. The climate of the proposed lease area

can be classified into following three categories:-

Winter - October to Mid-March

Summer - Mid-March to Mid June

Rainy - Mid June to September

Climate:

Annual Rainfall (in mm) for year 2010 of Kasauli

Source: Approved Mining Plan.

The maximum temperature recorded in last few years indicate the various variations in

temperature reaching as high as 35.6 ºC in May and dropping as low as 4 ºC in January. The


rainy season (Monsoon period) from late June to late September recorded almost 80 % of

rainfall. The intensity of rainfall (as shown in above figure) during this period causes heavy

erosion in the hills and floods in the Khuds (Streams).

24,000 per annum and in five years, the expenditure shall amount to Rs. 1,20,000. The estimated

survival rate proposed to be achieved shall be 80%.


8.4 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

1. Introduction

When mining is done to excavate the minerals to fulfill the requirements of the human beings, this

cause certainly an adverse effect on the environment prevailing around the area from where these

are being extracted. The necessity is this, to reduce such adverse impacts by applying certain

mitigation measures so that the need of these minerals are also met for the benefit of the humanity

without causing large scale harm to the environment. The measures to reduce these impacts are

being discussed in the following paragraphs:

1.1 Environment Management Plan ( EMP)

This Environment Management Plan is being proposed for the excavation of stone and to produce

the grit by installing a stone crusher The proposed mining site is located in Mouza Kabadharguda,

Tehsil & District Solan, H.P.

1.2 Impact on Land Environment

The mining in the proposed mining lease area may cause degradation in the exiting form of the land

and it can change into terraced land instead of hill slope. It can also spoil the greenery of grass or

bushes in the process of excavation of mineral. The mining activities can also give rise to the

unwanted land slides.

1.2.1 Mitigation Measures

To promote the greenery in the mining area, plantation shall be done on the exhausted benches. The

apprehension of land slide can be minimized by erecting retaining structures on the hill slope and

this measure can also help in controlling the rolling scree on the slopes.

1.3 Impact on Water Environment

Minor particles of dust resulted from the mining activities can be transported by the rains and may

pollute the surface water. These activities can also disturb the ground water regime.



The proposed mining lease area is located on the hill slope and there is no natural source of water

near it which can be affected by the process of transportation of the dust/minor wastes generated in

the process of mining. Check dams shall be erected to control the rolling scree and to arrest the

small particles of mine waste. The water table of the under ground water is very deep and can not be

disturbed due to the formation of 4x4m benches.

1.4 Impact on Air Environment

Mining activities may cause emission of dust which can pollute the environment.


As the mining in the proposed mining area will done manually or some time in a semi mechanized

manner, so the generation of dust emission is negligible as compared to the other activities.

Moreover, the habitation is quite far away and having no effect on air of this negligible emission of

dust.

1.5 Impact on Noise Environment

The mining in the proposed mining lease area can create noise around the surrounding area and can

disturb the habitation & fauna of the area.


The proposed mining area is located on a hill slope and habitation is quite far away from it.

Moreover, no blasting will be done in the mining area. Hence no noise or vibrations be resulted due

to mining. Some noise may generate due to plying of vehicles carrying the finished product/grit to

the consumers/market which can be controlled by lubricating the machinery time to time. There is

no wildlife near the mining area which could be disturbed by the mining people or mining activities.


8.5 DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT

The proposed mining lease area is located on hill slope which is prone to some risk hazards

but there will not be any major risk hazard associated with the mining process. The possible risk

hazards may be as follows:

• Land slides

• Accidents during loading

• Accidents during transportation &

• Earthquakes

LAND SLIDES AND MEASURES FOR THEIR REDUCTION

As the mining area is located on hill slope and made up of friable

jointed and fractured hard quartzite rocks, hence, possibilities are there for the

development of land slide. Therefore, it will be in the interest of safety of the labors

to maintain the height of the mining benches as suggested in the approved mining

plan i.e. 4x4 m dimensions. Besides this no work should be carried out during

monsoon and rains when the possibilities are there of sliding down the rock mass.

ACCIDENTS DURING LOADING & PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Accident may occur during loading of stone in to trucks. The trucks

are generally loaded by the mine workers. To avoid any type of accident by slipping

of stones, proper care shall be taken so that no stone is slipped from the hands of the

labors and may fall on the feet. The labors shall be provided the mine shoes for their

protection.

ACCIDENTS DURING TRANSPORTATION AND THEIR SAFETY

To avoid any accident during transportation, the vehicles will be

periodically checked and maintained properly. No over loading should be allowed.

The tippers/trucks will be covered to prevent any spillage. The speed of the vehicles

will be limited to 20 Km per hr. and drivers with proper driving licenses will be

employed.

ACCIDENTAL RISK DURING EARTHQUAKES & MITIGATION MEASURES


The labors will be trained in taking the safety steps at the time of earthquakes. This

will be done with help of Mining Officer or any trained personnel in the district

authority. No solid and heavy structure should be constructed at the mining site

which can cause any harm to the labors at the time of earthquake. All labor rest shed,

toilets etc. shall be constructed of light tin sheets to avoid any danger to the workers

at the mining site.

9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)

The project will bring economical benefits to the state by way of Royalty on minor minerals

and other taxes as applicable from time to time. The local Panchayat shall also get cess on the

production of minerals on the specified rates approved by the Government. Achieving a huge
