14 Areas susceptible to natural hazard which could

cause the project to present environmental

problems (earthquakes, subsidence, landslides,

erosion, flooding or extreme or adverse climatic

conditions)

The study area lies in Seismic Zone III.

However natural hazards due to

earthquakes are not anticipated to be a

major environmental issue owing to the

shallow mining depths. Also no major

structures are part of the proposed

development. Hence environmental

impacts due to the proposed

development are ruled out.

Erosion is not anticipated and is not

considered to be a significant feature in

case of flood, as the topsoil content is

almost preserved

Flooding may occur depending upon

the rainfall, however mining will not be

carried out during monsoon season.

No extreme/ adverse climatic

conditions are observed in the study

area.

Geology:

Regional Geology

The Ganga basin has been dominated by transvers river system since Pliocene due to erosion during

uplift that is symmetric subsidence of foreland. Large plio-Pleistocene sediment combines with less

asymmetric subsidence and uplift of the proximal fore land let to the pro gradation of the drainage

system that displaced the Yamuna River and after Allahabad Ganga River to edge of the foreland

basin. The Present river system consistent with erosion driven uplift adjacent Himalayan. The regional

geological setup is very well depicted in the map below;

Local Geology:

Geology map of Allahabad city shows the existence of Terrace Alluvium and Varanasi Alluvium as

geologic unit. The Varanasi Older Alluvium, a polycyclic sequence of yellowish brown clay- silt and

fine sand with dissemination of kankar, is exposed in the north of Yamuna. The Newer Alluvium is

characterized by unoxidized khaki and grey coloured sediments which consists predominantly of

micaceous sand, silt and clay. It has been divided into Terrace and Channel Alluvium. The Terrace

Alluvium of both Ganga and Yamuna are developed on a cut and eroded platform of Varanasi Older

Alluvium. The Terrace Alluvium of Ganga consists of multiple fill sequence of grayish sand, silt and

clay while that of Yamuna consists of medium to fine grained quartzo- feldspathic and grey

micaceous sand. Geology of the area is characterized by a thick pile of quaternary Alluvium

consisting of sand, graveland clay with occasional presence of thin to thick kankar intercalation.

canals indicate its agricultural prosperity. The level surface, alluvial Earth further provides impetus to

agricultural pursuits

(vii) Climatic data (secondary source): (District-Allahabad)

The study area is Allahabad Plateau zone and is subjected to vagaries of weather. The climate of the

project area is characterized by cool and dry climate. The year can be divided into three distinct

seasons; winters last from October to March followed by summers from April to June.

Temperature

In the plains during the summer season, the maximum temperature is of the order of 41.7°C and

minimum temperature of the order of 7.7 °C. With the onset of the southwest monsoon by about the

end of June day temperatures decrease while night temperatures remain as in the summer season.

During the post-monsoon season, mid-September to November, both day and night temperatures

begin to drop appreciably. January is the coldest month. In the plains during this month the mean

daily minimum temperature is of the order of 18.91°C and the daily maximum temperature of the

order of 32.47°C.

Humidity

During the southwest monsoon season the relative humidity is high and after the withdrawal of the

monsoon humidity decreases. The mean monthly maximum relative humidity in the morning of

August month is 84% and mean monthly minimum relative humidity measured in the morning of May

is 41%.

Cloudiness

In the winter season the sky is generally clear or lightly clouded except for brief spells of a day or two

each time when in association with the passage of western disturbances particularly in the northern

parts of the district sky become cloudy. Sky is clear or lightly clouded in the summer and post-

monsoon seasons. Heavily clouded to overcast sky prevail in the monsoon seas

Winds

Wind direction and speed are the most critical metrological parameters, as they govern the dispersion

of pollutants. Wind direction is reported as the direction from which the wind blows and is based on

surface observations. Over the course of a year, wind usually blows in all directions, with varying

frequencies. Certain directions occur more frequently than others, which are known as the prevailing

wind directions. Winds are generally light to moderate in this area. It can be seen that the annual mean

wind speed varies from 0.8 to 14.2 km/h. The prominent wind direction is East and South east.

Rainfall

The main rainy season is the southwest monsoon season, from about the last week of June to

September-mid, some rainfall much less in amount occurs in the cold season from December to

February in association with the passage of western disturbances, District receives annual rainfall is

about 489 mm. The maximum rainfall received during monsoon period was June to mid September.

The maximum rainfall varies from 400 mm. to 550 mm. The lowest rainfall was received during the

month of November -December. In the same fifty year period the annual rainfall was less than 80% of

the normal in ten years. There were three occasions when two consecutive years had rainfall less than

80% of the normal.

(viii) 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.
