(IV) Proposed terms of Reference:

As per EIA Notification, 2006 and as amended from time to time, General Condition

applicable {as Haryana – Rajasthan Inter State Boundary is located at a distance of 2.00

km from the mine site.} on our project as the sum total of the mining lease area of our Project / activity and other existing operating mines and mining Projects are located within 500 meters from the periphery of the our Project or activity is more than 5 ha.), hence it is treated as Category ‘A’ Project and to be dealt at the level of MoEF & CC, New Delhi, thus environmental clearance for the project is to be grant by the ministry of environment and climate change (MOEF & CC); as per EIA Notification dated 14.09.2006 & as amended from time to time.

The Mining lease area is only 1.0 ha and there will be negligible impact on surrounding environment due to this project. Therefore, we are not proposing terms of reference and request you to kindly consider our case and grant Environmental clearance for our project.
