At the conceptual stage, the excavated area will be 2.80 ha. which will be used as a
water reservoir and 0.40 ha. will be backfilled area.. Water reservoir will ultimately help
in recharging the water table and also help in cultivation and irrigation. Water
requirement of 5.0 KLD for the project will be met by water tanker supply. The ultimate
pit limit will be 185 MSL at conceptual stage. The water table is at 40 – 45m below the
surface level (200 MSL) i.e. 155 MSL in Pre-monsoon and 160 MSL in Post – monsoon
season. Thus, ground water table will not be encountered during working till life of mine.
2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND
OR REGION
The mineral will be used in indigenous market. The excavated mineral will be dressed
and polished as finished good made ready for use.
The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas will bring about gains
in gross domestic product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the project but will
add to the gains in G.D.P. (Gross Domestic Product). Sales in India have increased on
an over the past ten years, exceeding both regional and global averages. A rapidly
advancing economy and rising standards of living have helped increase overseas
investment in India, stimulating large amounts of industrialization and infrastructure-
related construction activity. However, Indian product demand (relative to construction
spending and on a per capita basis) is substantially below regional and world averages.
The mining project will provide employment to local people. Applicant will pay royalty for
the mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect taxes will be paid thereby
contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue so generated will further be put
for use in infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education and social
welfare. The applicant will spend 1% of total project cost on the development of the area
i.e. medical facilities, schools, temples and other social work.
2.4 DEMAND - SUPPLY GAP
Rajasthan has the distinction of having the best among Indian resources of good quality
marble. Out of 32 districts, 20 districts have marble in one or the other form. The
important regions of marble occurrences in Rajasthan are:
i) Udaipur - Rajsamand - Chittorgarh region;
ii) Makrana - Kishangarh region;
iii) Banswara - Dungarpur region;
iv) Andhi (Jaipur) - Jhiri (Alwar) region; and
v) Jaisalmer region.

The total production value of marble increased to 1282 crore in 2009-10 from 1151 crore
in 2008-09. Rajasthan alone accounted for 94% output value followed by Gujarat and
Madhya Pradesh. Production value was less than 1% in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh,
Jammu & Kashmir and Jharkhand in 2009-10.
2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION
Exports of marble (total) increased to 321,293 tonnes in 2010-11 from 275,502 tonnes in
the previous year. Out of total marble exported in 2010-11, exports of dressed marble at
251,567 tonnes constituted 78% while exports of other marbles at 69,726 tonnes
accounted for remaining 22%. Exports were mainly to China (25%), Nepal and Egypt
(13% each), and Italy (11%) Imports of marble (total) increased to 512,169 tonnes in
2010-11 from 431,022 tonnes in the previous year. Imports of dressed marble at
427,558 tonnes shared 83% imports in 2010-11 while the remaining 17% imports were
of other marbles. Main suppliers of marble were Italy (39%), followed by Turkey (26%),
China (8%), Vietnam (6%), and Oman (5%)
Marble demand in India is expected to rise. Ongoing industrialization and government
plans to expand and upgrade the country's physical infrastructure will fuel market
growth.
2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY
Marble production from the mine will cater to the needs of well established domestic
markets. There is a potential of the mineral for exporting after meeting the indigenous
requirements.
2.7 DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKETS
Domestic demand is one of the main reasons for the rapid growth of marble, business in
India. Thus, domestic market for the marble is well established.
The market scope for marble is found to be encouraging in local market with the
increased demand from construction fields
2.8 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE

3.4.2 LOCAL GEOLOGY
The local geological succession for the area may be summarized as below:-
Aravali super group Dovda Group Devthari Formation—
Weathered/Fracture Dolomite
Marble (below weathered Dolomite)
3.4.3 HYDROGEOLOGY
The occurrence of ground water in the district is mainly controlled by the topographic
and structural features present in the geological formations. The principal source of
ground water is precipitation. Out of the total rainfall received, a major part of it is lost as
run off and by evapotranspiration through soil and vegetation. Only a small part of
rainfall infiltrates down to reach ground water body. Groundwater occurs mainly under
water table conditions in all formations. The important water bearing formation besides
alluvium is the gneisses granites, schists, limestone and phyllites. In the hard rocks the
occurrence and movement of ground water is controlled through the foliation/bedding
planes, fissures, joints, solution cavities and other structural weak planes. The
weathered mantle of the hard rocks yields good discharge of water. In alluvium ground
water occurs in the interstices of unconsolidated sand and gravel, locally semi confined
conditions are encountered both in hard rock and alluvium. Delhi Super Group: The

formations belonging to Gogunda and Kumbhalgarh groups of Delhi Super Group are
exposed in the western part of the district along a north east south west trending. Lower-
Gogunda group constitutes mainly quartzite and schists and the upper Kumbhalgarh
group consists of mainly schists, gneisses marble and quartzites. Ground water in
quartzites occurs in the joints and fractures and in the near granitic intrusive. Depth to
water level generally is shallow. The yield of the wells ranges between 16 and 96 m3/d
roughly averaging to 50 m3/day. Groundwater in biotite schist and hornblende schist
occurs in joints and fractures. The depth to water level range from 5 to 15 mbgl and the
yield of the well varies from 12 m3/day to 250 m3/day. In calc schist and calc gneiss the
yield of dug well varies from 10 to 100 m3/day averaging to 10 60 m3/day. The yield is
high when the lenticular cavities along calc bends are saturated and are interconnected
(CGWA 2009).
3.4.4 MINERAL RESERVES
In this area the Marble exposures are bordering to the lease boundary. The mineral
reserves have been estimated by plan area method. Based on the experience and the

5.3 LAND USE PLANNING (BREAKUP ALONG WITH GREEN BELT ETC.)
As per year wise afforestation programme, plantation is proposed to be done in 33% of
the lease area i.e. 1.33 ha. Since, the lease area is very small only 4.0 ha., it is not
feasible to carry out plantation in 33% of the lease area. Hence, only 800 saplings will be

planted in 0.80 ha. (7.5 m safety zone) of the lease area and for remaining 530 saplings
0.53 ha. land has been acquired outside the mining lease area for plantation. The main
aim of the green belt development is to improve the ecosystem to a maximum possible
extent by designing the green cover with the same native species. The year wise
plantation programme in five years is given below:-

As per the compensatory afforestation programme minimum 530 saplings will be planted
in 0.53 ha. outside the lease area. The plantation will be carried out in consultation with
Local Forest Department.
However, in order to compensate the loss of vegetation cover, it is suggested to carry
out extensive afforestation program mainly in and around the mine lease area.
Appropriate plant species of different life forms have been suggested in the following
table to grow and to re-establish the vegetation cover and thereby provide habitat for the
faunal species. The list of plant species suggested includes the following criteria:-
Tree species which are well adapted to local environmental setting, tall, bearing
larger canopy cover and leaf area.
Tree species of different size classes (small, medium and larger) were suggested
to maintain the different canopy levels at vertical profile.
Fruit trees in the selection list would help to attract birds and fruit eating bats which
are locally available.
Wild species were suggested to provide habitat for faunal species, increase the
faunal species diversity and maintain the naturalness.
