4.6 Regional geology and Local geology a) Regional geology:

Deccan trap encompasses major parts of Maharashtra state. Deccan trap belongs to Upper Cretaceous to Eocean in age. An array of Deccan trap exist, they are frequently weathered leading to formation of Murom, rubbles and clayey and black cotton soil. The Basalt rock is of varying composition, their flow beds are together known as Deccan trap, The Igneous activity during upper Cretaceous period released tremendous outburst of volcanic energy resulting in the eruption of thick series of lava and associated pyroclastic materials lava flows called as Basalt is a significant event in the evolution of the Deccan Plateau. The Basalt rock is the solidified lava flow of Upper cretaceous to eocean period, the Basalt outcrop runs for nearly 800km towards the coast of Mumbai. This portion is tail end of Basaltic lava flows in Vidharba towards east and south east. Stratigraphical Sequence of the Area Recent - Alluvium and Black cotton Soil Upper Cretaceous – Deccan Trap Basalt stone and Murrom flow Rock, Younger Intrusive. To Eocene Cretaceous – Lameta and stone and shale Local Geology The General trend of Basalt stone and Murrom is in N-S direction with gentle slope towards SE and NW direction. Basalt stone and Murrom Beds are almost flat with gentle slope. The Mining lease area represents the eastern extrusion of Deccan Basalt stone and Murrom terrain. During field studies outcrop of rocks were noticed in the mining lease area which has signifying presence of Basalt stone and Murrom lava flows. There is no major structural deformation, shear zone or fault zone within the mining lease area. Irregular fractures and columnar joints and flow beds from few cm too few meter thickness were noticed within the outcrop of the Basalt stone and Murrom rock. Mining lease consisting of a flat land trending in N-S direction. The rock is exposed 3.0 meter below the surface, has fine grained Aphanitic texture. Basalt stone and Murrom rock is mainly composed of Plagioclase Feldspar, Muscovite, Biotite, Amphibole, and Pylioxene & Quartz as principle mineral constituents. Since it is a surface formation, spetoidal weathering is seen on rock cover which is occupied up to 2.0 meters on the flow rock. Rock is grayish to black in color with siliceous to earthy luster. On weathering form's rounded rubble, murrom & black cotton soil. 4.7 Environmental Settings (Secondary Sources) a) Drainage: In the proposed lease area there is no stream and nallah and any other kind of water bodies

are in existence. During rainy season water from the area drainage through the natural course of

drainage flowing the slopes. This drainage course is totally seasonal. No other water bodies are in

existence.
