2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent:

The proposed mine Village- Bhansali,,Tehsil- Bharuch, Dist.-Bharuch (Gujarat). The total mine

lease area is 1.63.12 Hectare has been leased . The total capacity has been anticipated to be

1.41.914MT of soil that will be extracted and transported to clients directly from the project site.

Site is situated in in Village- Bhansali, Tehsil- Bharuch, Dist.- Bharuch (Gujarat) .

2.2 Brief Information about the Project

The project has been proposed for mining of 1.41.914 MT of Ordinary Soil by Opencast mining

method. The LEASE area is 1.63.12 Hect. Water requirement for the proposed project for

drinking use, dust suppression and other use will be 4.7 KLD, which will be taken from nearby

source.

2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region:

The mining project falls in the Bharuch District of Gujarat the area is devoid of industrial

growth. The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are dependent upon

agriculture only. Mineral wealth of the state Gujarat provides the employment opportunity to the

4

people of the state as well as region also. Mining is one of the major core sector industries which

play a crucial role in the process of country economic development. The mineral Ordinary Soil

finds extensive use in the construction works.

2.4 Demands-Supply Gap

There is a demand of Ordinary Soil for filling.

2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production

Ordinary soil involves indigenous production hence the import and export activity is not

involved.

2.6 Export Possibility

There is no export possibility.

2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets

Products are marketed mainly in local areas. There is only domestic market of ordinary soil.

2.8 Employment Generation

It generates major employment of unskilled manpower from rural areas. It is seasonal in nature

and generally operational between 150 day in a year.

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Type of Project Including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects, If Any.

It is an opencast manual method project over an area of 1.63.12 Hect, with a proposed

production is

1.41.914MT of Ordinary Soil. This is an independent mining project and there are no

interlinked projects involved.

3.3 Details of Alternate Sites

Mining is site specific so no alternative site is proposed.

3.4 Size or magnitude of operation

The lease area has been granted over an area of 1.63.12 Hect. The average number of working

days in the year would be 150.

3.7 Project description with process details

3.7.1 Proposed Method of Mining

For the filling, natural soil as raw material has been identified, Opencast method of mining will

be adapted on single shift basis to excavate the overburden as well as crude Soil hence manual

open cast mining procedures shall be followed to full-fill raw material through excavating the

soil up-to permissible depth i.e. 0.86 meter from the land. It is proposed to use manual

excavation not exceeded 0.86meter depth of the land.

Production details

Year wise production is shown below:

Year Excavation of Soil in MT

First year 1,37,999

3.8 Raw Material Required Along With Estimated Quantity, Likely Source, Marketing

Area of Final Product/s, Mode of Transport of Raw Material and Finished Product

No raw material will be required for production of proposed minerals.The mine mineral shall be

collected and dispatch to various industries through trucks.

3.9 Resource Optimization/ Recycling and Reuse

Resource optimization has been exercised but there is no scope of recycling and reuse in the

project. Only top soil shall be used in regeneration of soil quality after completion of excavation

work.

shall be groundwater. A water storage tank of capacity 1 KLD shall be provided for domestic use

in emergency cases. Water shall not be either utilized in mining activity. No power (electricity)

is required for mining activities.

Total water requirement is about 4.7 KLD = 3.7KLD (Drinking & Domestic Uses) + 0.5 KLD

(Plantation) + 0.5KLD (Dust Suppression).

3.11 Quantity of wastes to be generated (Liquid and solid) and Scheme for their
