3.5 Project description with process details:

It is a mining project of Limestone from the mining area of 5.0 hectare,

situated at near village – Borunda, Tehsil – Bilara, District – Jodhpur,

(Rajasthan). Proposed production is 1,10,798 TPA (ROM) of Limestone

(Burning). The material produced here is used in, building, construction

work, etc. The method of mining is open cast and semi-Mechanized method.

The Limestone is overlain by hard dolomitic limestone, Alluvium, so to

exterect limestone it become necessary to remove the overburden as well as

soil. Since the deposit occurs at a depth of 3 mtr and the thickness of the

deposit is sufficient to be economically mineable. The proposed method of

mining is Semi - Mechanized “Open Cast mining”. The height of bench will

not be kept more than 3 m at a time and the width of the benches will be

always more than the height. For the systematic working of opencast mines,

benching is done. The main development work is the formation of systematic

benching. This benching gives the desired production of the mineral.

The removal of the O.B. carried as first bench is advanced to expose the

limestone. The limestone area in thin top covering of soil 1.0mts thickness.

The topsoil is manually removed and transported with the arrangement of

tractor trolley and heaped separately. The hard dolomitic limestone of

thickness 1 mts needs to be drilled, blasted and excavated by deploying

excavator or loader combination with dumpers.

Drilling- The drilling is done with the help of compressor and jackhammer. In

this mine the diameter of hole will be 32-34 mm and depth of hole will be kept

from 0.8m to 3.3m in a single hole.

Blasting:-

The hole is blasted by using ANFO and SG 80%. The detail of blast design is

given in chapter no. 5.

Broad blasting parameters

Depth of hole-0.8 m to 3.3 m

10


Diameter of Hole- 32 mm to 34 mm

Blasting pattern – The blasting pattern entirely depends on the situation of

the joints present in the rocks. Blasting is done as per requirement.

Storage of Explosive:- The blasting shall be done daily. The explosive shall be

handled by the blasting party himself and the blasting contractor same as per

the present practice. Hence, no storage of explosive is required at the site.

Loading & Transportation:- Mechanical loading equipment as a small

capacity excavator is deployed in removal and loading of the limestone.

Transport from mine head to destination will be done by the trucks &

dumpers on hire basis.

Precautions:- The mining is done on the hilly portion and though there is no

human settlement in the bottom of the hill, special precautions is being taken

for the fly rock problem. All the adequate precaution as per provisions MMR,

1961 is being taken.

The material excavated from mine by drilling and blasting is loaded into

dumper then transported to destination.

4.7 Regional geology & local geology:

a) Regional geology:-

The Delhi Super group of meta-morphites along with intrusive and effusive are

overlain by un-fossiliferous and marine sedimentary sequence forming the

marwar Super-group, occupying more than 50% area of the district and mainly

exposed in the western side. This sedimentary sequence has been classified into

jodhpur, Bilara nad Nagaur groups representing erinaceous, calcareous and

erinaceous facies of sedimentation respectively. Jodhpur Group is further

represented by Sonia sandstone which shows assemblage of shale, sandstone

containing alternate grit and pebble layers with abundant sadimantory

structures. The Jodhpur group is over-lained by Bilara Group comprising

Dhanapa dolomite,Gotan limestone and pondlo Dolomite. The Dhanppa Dolomite

shows development of stromatolites of weedia, collenia and cryptozoon species.

The Hanseran Evaporite Group which comprises a rhythmic sequence of halite

containg potash minerals, anhydrite, caly, dolomite, magnesite and glauconitic is

considered time equivalent to Bilara Group. The lithounits of Nagaur Group i.e.

Nagaur sandstone and tunklian sandstone, un-conformably overlies the pandlo

dolomite of Bilara Group and comenences with a basal conglomerate containing

clasts and pebbles of dolomite, chert and sandstone,siltstone and claystone,

belonging to the Nagaur sandstone. Conformably overlying the nagaur sandstone

is the tunklin sandstone comprising red claystone, siltstone, calcareous clay and

18


gritty to pebbly sandstone. The Nagaur Group is characterized by the presence of

evaporate sequence i.e. anhydride gypsum in nagaur area and halite in lakhasar

are. Youngest litho-units exposed in the district area of lower Eocene age named

as jogira fullers Earth which has locally been described as kuchera khajwana

formation by the recent workers who had carried out geological mapping in

nagaur district. This formation is represented by calcareous shale, siltstone, marl

limestone and sandy limestone with highly fossilferous horizons.

b) Local geology:-

In the lease area the limestone beds, which belongs to the pondlu formation of

Bilara group are horizontal indicating the absence of any tectonic effect.

The limestone formation varies widely in nature within the mining area and

consequently there are number of varieties of limestone which are found exposed

in the areas.

The limestone formulations found in the area are given below:

1. Light grey fine grained dolomitic limestone. (Reject)

2. Grey to dark fine to medium grained limestone.

3. Grey to dark siliceous limestone.(high silica limestone as a waste)

This is clear from the uniform nature of limestone exposed on the quarry faces of

nearby mines. No major faults or other structures were noticed. Based on the

surface examination of the various quarry faces in the area, the geological

succession encountered and the order of super position has been established as

follows:

4.8 Climatic details

The district experiences arid to semi-arid type of climate. Mean annual rainfall

(1971-2005) of the district is 326.8 mm whereas normal rainfall (1901-1970) is

lower than average rainfall and placed at 296.1 mm.

The rainy days are limited to maximum 15 in a year. Almost 80% of the total

annual rainfall is received during the southwest monsoon, which enters the

district in the first week of July and withdraws in the mid of September.

Probability of annual rainfall exceeding 650 mm is only 10%. However, there is

90% probability that the annual rainfall will be more than 190 mm. The

probability of occurrence of mean annual rainfall is 45%. Drought analysis based

on agriculture criteria indicates that the district is prone to mild and normal type

of droughts. Occurrence of severe and very severe type of drought is very rare.

As the district lies in the desert area, extreme of heat in summer and cold in

winter is the characteristic of the desert.

Jodhpur is no exception. Both day and night temperatures increase gradually and

reaches their maximum values in May and June respectively. The temperature

varies from 49 degree in summer to 1 degree in winter. Atmosphere is generally

dry except during the monsoon period. The humidity is highest in August with

mean daily relative humidity is 81%.

The annual maximum potential evapotranspiration in the district is quite high

and it is highest (264.7 mm) in the month of May and lowest (76.5 mm) in the

month of December.

hand pump, open well and tube well. The water supply is also supplied through

tanker in few villages & by PHED supply. During summer scarcity of water has

been noticed.

Communication services like post office and telephones are available in

the nearby village.

An occupational health unit is organized and the proposed measures is

adopted:

Pre & Periodical Medical Checkup program for all the workers.

Compulsory medical checkup program and first-aid box with necessary

equipment is provided.

Training for workers regarding occupational hazards.

Safety equipment i.e. dusts mask, safety shoes, gloves etc. is being

5.0 PLANNING BRIEF

5.1 Planning concept

It is propose to produce 1,10,798 TPA (ROM)of limestone mineral from the mining

lease area. It is situated in Jodhpur District of Rajasthan.

5.2 Population projection

Man power requirement for mining is estimated to be 15 Nos. Most of the

employees is recruited from neighboring village depending upon the availability

of skilled & unskilled people. Migration of highly educated and skilled person

21


takes place but it is on temporary basis. So there is permanent migration of

people, hence there is no population projection.

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

Project creates direct & indirect employment opportunities within the

surrounding region. Unit use good faith efforts to employ local people from the

nearby villages depending upon the availability of skilled & un-skilled man-

power surrounding the project site.

The proposed project require significant workforce of non-technical and

technical persons. Migration of highly educated and skilled experienced

persons result in increase of literacy in the surrounding villages.

In addition, the proposed project enhances the prospects of

employment.

Assessment of the potential socioeconomic benefits during mining

focused primarily on work force requirements, acquisition of supplies, and

the temporary increased demand for services related to the mining project

like food, housing, communications, law enforcement, medical care, local

transportation etc. Due to these, additional revenue to local suppliers for

required products and services related to the construction and operation phases

of the project is generated.

Thus, mining activities provide numerous new, although temporary, work

opportunities for both skilled and unskilled labor, as well as contribute

significantly to the local economy.

Additional government revenue expected from royalty, taxes, duties and

other fees.

An added benefit to the proposed project result in considerable growth

and stimulating the industrial and commercial activities in the state. Small

and medium scale industries may be further developed as a consequence.
