Surendranagar district covers total area of 10488 sq. Km. In north it is connected with
Kutchh, in south with Bhavnagar, on west with Rajkot, while in east, it is bordered with Ahmedabad district. Total population of the district is 1515147 souls as per 2001 census. There are 10 taluka in Surendranagar district namely 1.Wadhvan. Limdi. 3.Sayla. 4.Chotila. 5.Muli. 6.Halvad. 7.Dhrangadhra. 8.Lakhtar. 9.Dasada. 10.Chuda. Average annual rainfall of last decade is 536 mm.
Geologically, different formation occurs in this area, such as alluvial patch, Wadhvan Sand Stone, Dhrangadhra Sand Stone and Deccantrap Basalt. Sayla and Chotila Talukas are having out crops of basaltic lava flows. Dhrangadhra sand stone is good aquifer but as far as, qualitative aspect is concerned, it is having high fluoride content. Northern part is covered by alluvial patch covering Dasada and Lakhtar talukas.
saline. Agricultural activity is not possible in this area. Wadhvan Sand Stone area is also highly saline due to its marine origin.
16 Predominant wind direction Winds are generally light and moderate in summer. They become stronger when westerly t south-westerly winds prevail during the south-west monsoon season. In October winds are from west and north east. In November and December winds are mainly from north-east direction. In January and February winds are again from west and north east directions. In the summer season the winds are pre-dominantly from south-west and north-west
direction.

DETAILS ON MINING / EXCAVATION ACTIVITIES 19 Requirement of power supple and its
source
approximately 65 Horse Power, PGVCL Provided the connection
20 Requirement of water supply and its source
3.00 Kld and nearby supplier will supply the water with water tanker.
21 Type of Mining (Manual/Semi mechanized /Mechanized)
Semi mechanized 22 Equipment's to be used (bulldozers,
hydraulic excavators, JCB, scrapers, loaders, etc.
Equipment used for mining activity like Horizontal and vertical Cutter Machine, Trucks and Tractor Trolley and Tractor tanker.
23 Details of method of working with phasing of activities (Sequence of mining
operations)
Phase wise activity
Site preparation- Overburden removal-fencing the site-Cutting in existing form and then loading.
Method-
Mining would be done through
JCB/Loader machine which will scratch the upper surface and level the site manually once JCB/Loader work is over. Once the site is levelled, electrically
operated Horizontal and Vertical saws would be placed on the levelled mine site. Experience worker would than manually cut the levelled stone in different sizes. Wet cutting method involving spraying water onto the rotating cutting disk would be used to reduce dust emissions via spray heads or jets normally attached to opposite sides of the guard. An on-off valve is fitted to control the water supply with an in-line filter, often installed to prevent the heads becoming blocked. Once the required blocks of mined stone are cut as per the sizes, they are kept aside for loading. The truck load is of-10 ton. 24 Explosive, detonators to be used No. Explosive and detonators required. 25 Details of drilling, blasting No drilling and blasting required as it is a
sand stone mining. 26 Safety measure at the time of blasting N. A.
27 Details of Overburden (OB) removal and stacking
Around 6,000 m3Overburden generated and reclamation work in the form of backfilling will be carried out 0.05.00 ha of area will backfilled is Western part of the lease area
28 Height and width of benches and side slope
Bench height 1.5m and Bench width 2.0m and slope is less than 900 horizontal /Vertical.
29 Depth of ground water table (Meters) 50 Mtrs. 30 Maximum depth of working (Meters)
Whether it will intersect ground water table?
10 Meters, it will not intersect ground water table

33 No. Of working days in a year 288 days
34 Time of working hours in a day 8 am to 5pm 35 Measure proposed for protection of
environmental attributes like and, water, air, human health, etc.
Water
Drinking water is supplied by nearby supplier to the lease area.
Domestic sewage generated during mining is low and would be disposed in soak pit at site.
Solid Waste
Overburden would be generated. Soil (OB) generated of poor fertility and would be used for making barriers at site and balance is stacked at site for refilling purpose at mining out pits.
Dust and human health.
During loading and unloading regular water spraying will be carried out. Wet cutting method used.
Water spraying of haul roads and other roads at regular intervals.
Provision of dust mask to workers. Vehicles carrying the material would be covered with tarpaulin sheets.
Speed of the vehicle will be maintained. Trucks will not be overloaded.
Regular maintenance of vehicles and machinery shall be carried out to control emission. Develop green belt around the lease area, provide mask for mouth and nose protection, ear-plug for noise hazard and specks for eye protection. 36 Measure for control of noise, vibration and
fly rock problems due to blasting
Blasting is not be required for proposed mining activity
37 plan for managing storm water, Details of garland drains to be provided
The rain water collected in mining out pits during monsoon season will be used
by farmers of nearby areas. When
mining activity will commence, the water collected in the pits will be used for dust suppression. Garland drains (1.5 M width) will be provided in W direction if required.
38 plan for managing dust, noise, silt and other pollutants during mining activities
* First Aid kit shall be provided for the workers
* Proper training for handling the particular job to every worker.
* The personal protective equipments such as masks, helmets, gloves,
respirators etc. shall be provided to the workers depending upon the nature of the work involved.
* Safety shoes, mask, helmet, earplug will be provided.
39 Details on transportation route and measure proposed for control of fugitive emission during transportation
Approach road from lease area to highway. Fugitive emission emerge that time very less measure.
The extracted mineral would be transported from the mine to the end user by adopting following measures so as to minimize dust emissions:
* During loading and unloading regular water spraying will be carried out.
* Water spraying of haul roads and other roads at regular intervals.
* Provision of dust masks to workers. * Vehicles carrying the material would be covered with tarpaulin sheets. * Speed of the vehicles will be maintained.
* Trucks will not be overloaded. * Regular maintenance of vehicles and machinery shall be carried out to control emissions.
40 Plan for post mining use/reclamation of pits
Rain water harvesting post mining use.
41 Provision of fencing the pits in case of use water reservoir
Pole marking and fencing will be done. 42 Plan for green belt development, area of
green belt, no & type of species to be
Marginally area surrounding lease periphery and plantation on both side of
planted and budgetary outlay for the same
kutcha road. We have also tied up with gram panchayat to grow more than 500 trees in and around the village which covers local school, and approach road of village.
43. Corporate Sector Responsibility We will provide 5% of our profit to the gram panchayat to built toilet and other public convenient like street light etc., for school, primary health centre for their various needs. And to develop green belt in available area in the village
