2.0 INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT

M/s. UltraTech Cement Ltd. (UTCL) has proposed a Pozzolana Clay Mine (ML area

432.30 ha) with Production Capacity of 1.692 MTPA near villages Kharai & Vayor,

Taluka- Lakhpat & Abdasa, District - Kachchh (Gujarat).

Letter of Intent (LOI) for the grant of mining lease over the said area has been granted

to M/s Jaypee Gujarat Cement Plant for a period of 20 years by the Industries & Mines

Department, Government of Gujarat vide its letter no. MCR/2011/1044/CHH dated

28.11.2011. Later, the application of transfer of LOI to M/s. UltraTech Cement Ltd. via

letter dated 08.10.2014 has been submitted to Industry and Mines Department,

Gandhinagar, Gujarat and the transfer is under process.






2.1 GEOLOGY OF THE AREA

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The Stratigraphic sequence in this area according to Geological Survey (GSI) is as

follows- In Kachchh region the Jurassic and associated rocks have been exposed in

three anticline chains of ridges trending in east-west direction. The island Patcham,

Khadir, Bela and Chorar comprises of Northern chain. The middle chain consists of the

most prominent ridge extending for about 193km from habo in the East to Lakhpat in

the west. The southernmost chain forms a 64km long Katrol – Charwar range.

LOCAL GEOLOGY

The local geology of the ML area is established through the detailed exploration

carried out in the area. The area is covered with yellowish soil of average 1meter

thickness.

The next horizon consists of Pozzolona Clay which is Light grey to dark grey in colour

with average thickness of 10mtrs.

The lower most zones consist of weathered sandstone and found below11 m and this

sand stone found up to the depth of drilling.

The generalized succession from top to below can be summarized as follows:

1. Yellowish soil 2. Light grey to dark grey colored Pozzolona Clay 3. Weathered sandstone

2.2 ESTIMATION OF RESERVES

As per Approved Mining Plan with Progressive Mine Closure Plan, total geological

reserves of Pozzolona Clay are calculated as 65.71 million tonnes.

Mineable reserves calculated are 56.13 Million Tonnes. Out of total mineable reserves,

7.61 million tonnes will be excavated in the first 5 year mine plan period and the

remaining 48.52 million tonnes of reserves will last for further 28.7 years @ 1.69 million

tonnes / year.

2.3 Proposed Method of Mining

Mining operations shall be carried out by mechanized opencast method, utilizing

Hydraulic excavator. The development activities during ensuing mine plan period shall

involve removal of overburden comprising of top soil of thickness 1.0 meters. Other

development activities include preparation of access roads, haul roads, short ramps

etc. Reclamation and rehabilitation of the mined out area, abandoned benches/valley

area shall be parallel activities while mining.

Mining details have been given in Table 2.

Following measures will be taken to control air/fugitive pollution during mining

operation:

� No drilling & blasting will be carried out in the lease area.

� All the haul roads in the lease area will be made compact and water spraying will

be done, therefore, generation of dust by movement of truck which carry

mineral outside the lease area will be less.

� The vehicles used for transportation will be checked for overloading.

� The mine machineries and vehicles will be properly maintained so as to minimize

generation of gaseous emissions.

� Plantation will be done on both sides of the roads to arrest air borne dust and

prevent its spread outside the lease area.

� Ambient air will be done as per guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board.

2.5.2 WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT

� Three dry ponds are present in the area which will not be disturbed till the end of

life of the mine.

� Garland Drains will be provided all around the pits and dumps.

� Septic tanks and soak pits have been provided for disposal of domestic waste

water generated from toilets.

� The rain water collected in mines pit will be used for plantation, dust suppression

work, etc.

2.5.3 NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL

� No Drilling & Blasting will be carried out in the lease area.






� Proper maintenance of all machines will be carried out which will help in

reducing generation of noise during operations.

� Workers exposed to high noise levels are being provided with ear plugs.

� Adequate silencers will be provided in all the diesel engines.

� Greenbelt will be developed around periphery of the lease area and along the

road sides, which will help as a barrier.

(ii) Identification of Project

This is a proposed Pozzolana Clay mine of lease area of 432.30 ha located in villages

Kharai & Vayor, Taluka – Lakhpat & Abdasa, District – Kachchh (Gujarat).

UTCL has taken over it from M/s Jaypee Cement Corporation Limited (JCCL) through

demerger through Implementation agreement in September, 2014.

(iii) Brief Description of the Nature of Project

Proposed Pozzolana Clay Mine (ML Area: 432.30 ha) with production capacity of 1.692

MTPA located near villages Kharai & Vayor, Taluka- Lakhpat & Abdasa, District -

Kachchh (Gujarat).

As per EIA Notification dated 14th September 2006, as amended from time to time, this

project falls under Category “A”, Project or Activity 1(a) – 3.

(iv) Need for the Project & Its Importance to the Country/ Region

The mined out Pozzolana clay from the proposed mine will be used as a raw material

in the manufacturing of Pozolana cement in the interlinked cement plant.

In order to meet requirement of Pozzolana clay for manufacturing of Cement, UTCL

has proposed Pozzolana Clay Mining Project (Area: 432.30 ha) with Production

Capacity of 1.692 MTPA located at Villages villages Kharai & Vayor, Taluka- Lakhpat &

Abdasa, District - Kachchh (Gujarat).

(v) Demand – Supply Gap

Considering the demand of Pozzolana clay which is in sufficient availability in the area,

it is very much essential to have such mining projects to sustain its integrated cement

manufacturing industry.

(vi) Imports vs. Indigenous Production

The Pozzolana clay will be utilized in the integrated cement plant as UTCL as an

additive to fulfill the requirement of clay.

(vii) Export Possibility

No, the Pozzolana clay out the proposed mine will be used for the integrated cement

plant only.






(viii) Domestic/Export Markets

UTCL is planning to expand its cement production capacity, to increase the lead in the

region and logistic gain. The proposed cement production will cater to the cement

demands in the various states of the country.

Moreover, pozzolana clay will be only utilized in the integrated cement plant. Thus,

there will be no other users for the mineral from this mine. No export market will be

involved

(ix) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the Project

The manpower of approx. 31 persons will be required for the proposed mining

project which will be taken from nearby villages. Preference will be given to local

persons on basis of their experience & eligibility.
