CHAPTER-3
GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION
A. Briefly describe the general topography explaining whether it is a Plain
land or hilly area and local geology of the mineral deposit within the
leasehold. Attach a geological plan on 1:1,000 scale with 1m contour
intervals.
Topography and Drainage
The area is almost a flat terrain with devoid of vegetation. It is about 1.5km
from the village Nisda which is situated in the west direction. The maximum
elevation is about 268 m from M.S.L.
The lease area has been surveyed on a scale of 1:1,000 with contour interval of
one meter.
The drainage pattern is dendritic to sub dendritic.
Climate:
The climate is sub-tropical, semi arid, continental and monsoon type. Thus, it
has hot summers, cool winters and small rainy season.
Regional Geology
Regionally, the area under study comes under the Chhattisgarh basin.
Chhattisgarh basin is the largest Purana basin of Bastar craton. The craton is
several smaller basins like Khariar, Ampani, Indravati and sabari (Sukma),
besides many outliers like Keshkal, Singanpur and Chedrapal. Chhattisgarh
basin covering as area of about 36000 sq. kmunconformably overlies the
basement granite-gneiss and volcanics of the BastarCraton.The southern and

eastern margins of the basin have depositional contact with the basement,
whereas the western and northern margins of the basin are fault bounded. The
succession of the basin comprises dominantly of sandstones, shale and
carbonates with subordinate conglomerate and tuffs at different stratigraphic
levels. The strata are gently dipping at an angle of 2-10º, however, along the NS
faults. It is bounded by the Kotri-Dongargarh orogen in the west, Satpura
mobile belt in the north, Gondwana graben of Mahanadi in the northeast and the
Eastern Ghats mobile belt in the southeast. In the south, the basin overlies the
basement gneiss enclosing the Sonakhan greenstone belt. Chhattisgarh basin is
the third largest Purana basin after the Vindhyan and Cuddapah, and extends for
about 300 km in the E-W and 200 km in the N-S directions, with an irregular
rectangular configuration.
The detailed lithostratigraphy of Chhattisgarh basin is as under:

B. Describe briefly prospecting / exploration work done to date viz. geological mapping with the evidence already existing about the mineral deposit in the area or in the vicinity.
Prospecting / exploration are not required as quarryarea is less than five
hectares. More over the existence of limestone (flaggy limestone) is well
established on the basis of old and currently worked out pits nearby the
lease area.
C. Describe briefly, exploration proposed to be carried out year wise, for the next five years indicating same on the geological plan.
No proposal for further prospecting /exploration in the area as the
existence of limestone (flaggy limestone) is well established in the
area up to the required depth or beyond it.
D. Spot or spots where the Quarrying operation is proposed and proposed maximum depth of quarrying operation.
The Limestone (flaggy limestone) is exposed in the pit up to a depth of
6m exist in the quarry area,while soil is removed in rest of the area.The
barrier zone is almost only covered by top soil. In the instance matter
the depth of Limestone (flaggy limestone) has been considered 9mbelow
top soil cover of about 3mfor the calculation of reserves. The proposed
method of quarrying will be open cast.

Ultimate pit limit is fixed keeping final pit slope at the angle of 45o. This will
cover about 0.364 ha area in five year plan period). (Please refer conceptual
Plan plate no. 9).
This plate also shows proposed dumping and program of afforestation. As post
quarrying land use, this pit may further be reclaimed by waste materials or this
may be converted into a water pond and used as a natural water harvesting
system for collection of rain water after permission of Gram Panchayat/relevant
authority. This will recharge the ground water and may be used by local people.
Due to the quarrying the generated over burden / mine waste will not be
sufficient to reclaim the working pit. No any type of rehabilitation will be
required in the proposed area because there is no any important monument,
structure or villages come in the core zone. All dump of soil will be used for
afforestation.
Exploration:
Exploration is not required as the lease area is less than 5 ha.
Drilling:
Not required.
Dumping of Waste materials:
Not required in conceptual period.
Afforestation:
Afforestation will be taken up in 0.092ha along the lease boundary during
this plan period.About200 saplings of the local species will be planted in the
proposed area. The following table describes the area proposed for quarrying
as a part of the Conceptual Quarry Plan (lease period applied for 5 years)-

carried out during the quarrying operations. The quarry operation is always
above the water table as water table is quite deep and there will be no
chance of encountering the water table. Hence no arrangements will be
required for dewatering the quarry pit, but in case of heavy rains and
further seepage of water the quarry owner will have to provide a small
diesel pump with the following specifications for dewatering the quarry
working pit:
Motor : 5HP
Suction : 50mm
Delivery: 40mm
Total Head: 20m
Pumping Capacity:500 liters per minute.

CHAPTER- 6
MANPOWER DEPLOYMENT
State average daily employment and statutory personals:
The quarrying activity has fare chances of employment of local people. In this
quarry also about 18 unskilled labors will be required for quarrying of stone and
for loading the stones on trucks etc. At least one skilled person will be required
for supervision purpose, maintenance of record of production and shipment etc.
CHAPTER- 7
USE OF MINERAL
Describe the utilization of mineral and type of industry.
Limestone (flaggy limestone) has the great importance in constructions of
building, as it has the property of taking good polish. This polished stone have a
very good demand in the market. The raw Limestone (flaggy limestone)also has
market to be used as “Farshi Pathar”. Hence small scale mining of Limestone
(flaggy limestone) is a good source of earning specially for local villagers for
their livelihood.

CHAPTER-8
WASTE DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS
a) Selection of dumping site:
The top soil which is already has been removed. So no dumping of soil
required. (Plate no. 7).
b) Maximum height and spread of soil dump:
Soil is already removed in previous year.
c) Stacking of sub-grade materials:
About 25 % waste material will be generated. This sub grade material is
nothing but the broken pieces of Limestone (flaggy limestone). This is
sellable material and can be easily marketed by the mine owner. Hence it is
proposed to stack this sub grade material temporary in a suitable place.
d) Selection of site for stacking:
Not required as sub grade materials can be easily marketed by the mine
owner.
e) Height and spread of stacks:
Not applicable.

CHAPTER-9
ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
The environment management plan is a complete package of impact
mitigations, waste minimisation, management and institutional measures to be
taken during implementation and operation of mining to eliminate the adverse
environmental impacts or to reduce them to the acceptable level.
The environmental features which are likely to be affected by mining activities
are land use, topography, drainage pattern, soil, air quality, water resources and
water quality, ecology and human health.
All the above mentioned features are addressed in this plan to ensure the
sustainable development and judicious utilisation of non-renewable resources
with keeping the pollution level within permissible assimilative limit. The
details are summarising below:
1. Quarrying Area:
The lease area is 0.364 ha. It is a non forest, non agricultural Government
land. The area is flat terrain with devoid of vegetation.
No any area of archaeological important structure, sanctuaries, reserve forest is
lying within 10 km radius.

2. Land Use Pattern:
3. Human Settlement:
Nearest village Nisda is present about 1.5 km west of the lease area. No
villages or human dwelling are within the quarry lease area. So there will not
be any need for re-settlement. The human settlement in the buffer zone is
given below. (Within the radius of 5km)

4. Land Environment:
The proposed quarrying operations will only be confined to the quarry area
of 0.364 ha and it is not going to affect the surrounding areas. However, as a
result of quarry operation the original profile of land will be altered. Inside
the area, the proposed production will be carried out by excavation and
dumping of waste material will be on the selected part within the lease area.
The reclamation of the entire area is not possible due to non availability of
sufficient quantity of material / waste rock; hence, at the end of the secession
of quarry, this pit may further be converted into a water pond and used as a
natural water harvesting system for collection of rain water. This will

5. Air Environment:
From the proposed open cast quarry operation, the main air pollutant would be
dust or particulate matter generated by rock/waste extraction, handling
operations, transportation and screening of the ore. The emissions of sulphur
dioxide (SO2), Oxides of nitrogen (NO2) contributed by diesel operated
excavation/loading equipment and vehicles moving on haul roads are marginal
but to keep the things within limits is proposed to use following mitigation
measures to control the air quality:
1. Regular water sprinkling to suppress the dust on haul roads, service
roads and mining face by sprinklers and truck mounted water tankers.
2. Grading of haul roads, service roads time to time, to remove the
accumulated dusty materials.
3. Proper maintenance of the earth moving equipments and vehicles,
checking of exhaust emission and imposing of speed restrictions on
them.
4. Avoiding of overloading of dumpers during the transportation.
5. Development of green belt along quarrying area boundary and soil
dumps.
6. Periodical monitoring of air quality to take steps to control the
pollutants.
6. Water Environment:
Likely impact of quarrying on water table
The area does not falls in notified area under Water Act 1974.The quarrying
activity will be confined to the lease area and there are no perennial streams or
nalas present over there. No ground water pollution will be there as the water

Measures to be taken for reclamation of land
Mined out land
The estimated mineable reserve in the area is 20306.25 tons (8122.5 m3).A total
of 0.183 ha area has been earmarked for quarry workings in five year plan
period, whereas, a maximum production level of about 4087.50 ton (1635 m3)
will be achieved in five year. Ultimate pit limit is fixed keeping pit slope at the
angle of 45o.
Storage and prevention of topsoil
The top soil has already been removed in previous year. About 0.092 ha area
will be planned to utilize for afforestation purposes along lease boundary. For
preventing of erosion of soil retention wall will be made along lease boundary.
Proposal for reclamation of land affected by quarrying activities during and at the end of the quarry lease
At the cessation of quarrying operations after the extraction of mineral the
consolidated waste dumps will be stabilized and plantation will be taken up
above them. The step benches will be made and Afforestation work will be
carried out on them. Care will be taken to transfer the topsoil preserved
separately to put it back on the mined out area and the dump surfaces along with
the grass cover.

GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION
A. Briefly describe the general topography explaining whether it is a Plain land or hilly area and local geology of the mineral deposit within the leasehold. Attach a geological plan on 1:1,000 scale with 1m contour intervals.
Topography and Drainage
The area is almost a flat terrain with devoid of vegetation. It is about 1.5km from the village Nisda which is situated in the west direction. The maximum elevation is about 268 m from M.S.L.
The lease area has been surveyed on a scale of 1:1,000 with contour interval of one meter.
The drainage pattern is dendritic to sub dendritic.
Climate:
The climate is sub-tropical, semi arid, continental and monsoon type. Thus, it has hot summers, cool winters and small rainy season.
Regional Geology
Regionally, the area under study comes under the Chhattisgarh basin. Chhattisgarh basin is the largest Purana basin of Bastar craton. The craton is several smaller basins like Khariar, Ampani, Indravati and sabari (Sukma), besides many outliers like Keshkal, Singanpur and Chedrapal. Chhattisgarh basin covering as area of about 36000 sq. kmunconformably overlies the basement granite-gneiss and volcanics of the BastarCraton.The southern and eastern margins of the basin have depositional contact with the basement, whereas the western and northern margins of the basin are fault bounded. The succession of the basin comprises dominantly of sandstones, shale and carbonates with subordinate conglomerate and tuffs at different stratigraphic levels. The strata are gently dipping at an angle of 2-10º, however, along the NS faults. It is bounded by the Kotri-Dongargarh orogen in the west, Satpura mobile belt in the north, Gondwana graben of Mahanadi in the northeast and the Eastern Ghats mobile belt in the southeast. In the south, the basin overlies the basement gneiss enclosing the Sonakhan greenstone belt. Chhattisgarh basin is the third largest Purana basin after the Vindhyan and Cuddapah, and extends for about 300 km in the E-W and 200 km in the N-S directions, with an irregular rectangular configuration.

A Surface Geological Plan and Geological Cross Section on a scale of 1: 1000 are attached, showing general topography and geology of the area.
B. Describe briefly prospecting / exploration work done to date viz. geological mapping with the evidence already existing about the mineral deposit in the area or in the vicinity.
Prospecting / exploration are not required as quarryarea is less than five hectares. More over the existence of limestone (flaggy limestone) is well established on the basis of old and currently worked out pits nearby the lease area.
C. Describe briefly, exploration proposed to be carried out year wise, for the next five years indicating same on the geological plan.
No proposal for further prospecting /exploration in the area as the existence of limestone (flaggy limestone) is well established in the area up to the required depth or beyond it.
D. Spot or spots where the Quarrying operation is proposed and proposed maximum depth of quarrying operation.
The Limestone (flaggy limestone) is exposed in the pit up to a depth of 6m exist in the quarry area,while soil is removed in rest of the area.The barrier zone is almost only covered by top soil. In the instance matter the depth of Limestone (flaggy limestone) has been considered 9mbelow top soil cover of about 3mfor the calculation of reserves. The proposed method of quarrying will be open cast.
CHAPTER-4
RESERVES
The thickness of soil is about 3 meters in this area below which Limestone (flaggy limestone) is observed. For computing the reserve of Limestone (flaggy limestone) in the quarry area with volumetric method is adopted by taking depth 9m and Bulk density is considered as 2.5 tones/cum.

Mineable reserves and anticipated life of the quarry:
(a) Estimated Mineable Reserves
: 20306.25tons (8122.5 m3)
(b) Average rate of production
: 3872.25tons (1548.9m3)
During Five year plan
(c) Applied lease period
: 10 years from (30/03/2005 to
29.03.2015)
(d) Anticipated life of quarry. : About 5 years
Conceptual Quarry Plan:
The estimated mineable reserves from this area are of the order of 20235 20306.25tons (8122.5 m3) and recoverable reserve (0.75%) is 15229.69 tons (6091.87m3) up to a depth of 12m from the top surface. The conceptual quarrying plan is prepared for the lease period of 5 years.
Ultimate pit limit is fixed keeping final pit slope at the angle of 45o. This will cover about 0.364 ha area in five year plan period). (Please refer conceptual Plan plate no. 9).
This plate also shows proposed dumping and program of afforestation. As post quarrying land use, this pit may further be reclaimed by waste materials or this may be converted into a water pond and used as a natural water harvesting system for collection of rain water after permission of Gram Panchayat/relevant authority. This will recharge the ground water and may be used by local people.
Due to the quarrying the generated over burden / mine waste will not be sufficient to reclaim the working pit. No any type of rehabilitation will be required in the proposed area because there is no any important monument, structure or villages come in the core zone. All dump of soil will be used for afforestation.
Exploration:
Exploration is not required as the lease area is less than 5 ha.
Drilling:
Not required.
Dumping of Waste materials:
Not required in conceptual period.
Afforestation:
Afforestation will be taken up in 0.092ha along the lease boundary during this plan period.About200 saplings of the local species will be planted in the proposed area. The following table describes the area proposed for quarrying as a part of the Conceptual Quarry Plan (lease period applied for 5 years)-

Open-cast Quarry
Quarrying method is a type of manual Open- cast quarrying by a system of benches. The depth of each bench will be maintained at 1.5m.
Loading:
Loading of Limestone (flaggy limestone) are done by local labours.
Haulage and Transporting:
Mostly trucks/ tippers will be used for transportation of loadable Limestone (flaggy limestone) from the area to consumers.
e) Underground Workings:
Not applicable.
f) Miscellaneous Operations:
Sharpening and tempering of excavating tools, cleaning the area of loose boulders, maintaining of quarry path, sprinkling of water for dust suppression, plantation and watering of sapling etc and also causal labors under the supervision of mate / foreman are the mandatory operations to be carried out during the quarrying operations. The quarry operation is always above the water table as water table is quite deep and there will be no chance of encountering the water table. Hence no arrangements will be required for dewatering the quarry pit, but in case of heavy rains and further seepage of water the quarry owner will have to provide a small diesel pump with the following specifications for dewatering the quarry working pit:
Motor : 5HP
Suction : 50mm
Delivery: 40mm
Total Head: 20m
Pumping Capacity:500 liters per minute.
CHAPTER- 6
manpower deployment
State average daily employment and statutory personals:
The quarrying activity has fare chances of employment of local people. In this quarry also about 18 unskilled labors will be required for quarrying of stone and for loading the stones on trucks etc. At least one skilled person will be required for supervision purpose, maintenance of record of production and shipment etc.
CHAPTER- 7
use of mineral
Describe the utilization of mineral and type of industry.
Limestone (flaggy limestone) has the great importance in constructions of building, as it has the property of taking good polish. This polished stone have a very good demand in the market. The raw Limestone (flaggy limestone)also has market to be used as “Farshi Pathar”. Hence small scale mining of Limestone (flaggy limestone) is a good source of earning specially for local villagers for their livelihood.
CHAPTER-8
WASTE DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS
a) Selection of dumping site:
The top soil which is already has been removed. So no dumping of soil required. (Plate no. 7).
b) Maximum height and spread of soil dump:
Soil is already removed in previous year.
c) Stacking of sub-grade materials:
About 25 % waste material will be generated. This sub grade material is nothing but the broken pieces of Limestone (flaggy limestone). This is sellable material and can be easily marketed by the mine owner. Hence it is proposed to stack this sub grade material temporary in a suitable place.
d) Selection of site for stacking:
Not required as sub grade materials can be easily marketed by the mine owner.
e) Height and spread of stacks:
Not applicable.
CHAPTER-9
ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
The environment management plan is a complete package of impact mitigations, waste minimisation, management and institutional measures to be taken during implementation and operation of mining to eliminate the adverse environmental impacts or to reduce them to the acceptable level.
The environmental features which are likely to be affected by mining activities are land use, topography, drainage pattern, soil, air quality, water resources and water quality, ecology and human health.
All the above mentioned features are addressed in this plan to ensure the sustainable development and judicious utilisation of non-renewable resources with keeping the pollution level within permissible assimilative limit. The details are summarising below:
1. Quarrying Area:
The lease area is 0.364 ha. It is a non forest, non agricultural Government land. The area is flat terrain with devoid of vegetation.
No any area of archaeological important structure, sanctuaries, reserve forest is lying within 10 km radius.

4. Land Environment:
The proposed quarrying operations will only be confined to the quarry area of 0.364 ha and it is not going to affect the surrounding areas. However, as a result of quarry operation the original profile of land will be altered. Inside the area, the proposed production will be carried out by excavation and dumping of waste material will be on the selected part within the lease area.
The reclamation of the entire area is not possible due to non availability of sufficient quantity of material / waste rock; hence, at the end of the secession of quarry, this pit may further be converted into a water pond and used as a natural water harvesting system for collection of rain water. This will recharge the ground water and may be used by local people.

5. Air Environment:
From the proposed open cast quarry operation, the main air pollutant would be dust or particulate matter generated by rock/waste extraction, handling operations, transportation and screening of the ore. The emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of nitrogen (NO2) contributed by diesel operated excavation/loading equipment and vehicles moving on haul roads are marginal but to keep the things within limits is proposed to use following mitigation measures to control the air quality:
1. Regular water sprinkling to suppress the dust on haul roads, service roads and mining face by sprinklers and truck mounted water tankers.
2. Grading of haul roads, service roads time to time, to remove the accumulated dusty materials.
3. Proper maintenance of the earth moving equipments and vehicles, checking of exhaust emission and imposing of speed restrictions on them.
4. Avoiding of overloading of dumpers during the transportation.
5. Development of green belt along quarrying area boundary and soil dumps.
6. Periodical monitoring of air quality to take steps to control the pollutants.
6. Water Environment:
Likely impact of quarrying on water table
The area does not falls in notified area under Water Act 1974.The quarrying activity will be confined to the lease area and there are no perennial streams or nalas present over there. No ground water pollution will be there as the water table is much below the lowest quarry bench level and rock or waste/soil dump of this deposit does not contain any harmful ingredients, which could leach down to pollute the ground water.Even than strict care will be taken to avoid contamination of any foreign material with the ground water if at all the ground water intersect during the mining.
Details of modification/diversion of natural drainage system /Obstruction of water channels and measures taken
No modification / diversion are required.
Measures taken for minimizing silting and contamination of water
Not required.
Top Soil Management:
The lease area is already developed hence there is no provision for waste material dumping.
Requirement of water for quarrying operations
Water is not required for quarrying operation. Although small quantity of water is required for drinking and dust suppression purpose which will be meet out from the bore well/river nearby.
Tailing Dam Management:
No tailing dam is proposed.
Requirement of water for quarrying operations
Water is not required for quarrying operation. Although small quantity of water is required for drinking and dust suppression purpose which will be meet out from the river nearby.
Source of Water
Nearby the area under study, Mahanadi river exist about 110 m in east of the area.This water may be used for dust suppression and afforestation purposes, whereas, water for drinking purpose may be taken up from dug well of bore hole from the nearby village. Statutory permissions will be taken up for use of water according to the act and rules applicable.
7. Noise & Vibration:
No generation of noise and vibration as the quarrying activity and loading of flagstone will be done manual. Transport vehicles may generate noise which is within the permissible norm of limit.
Storage of explosive (like capacity and type of explosive magazine)
Not applicable.
8. Human Environment:
The contributing factors that affect the health of people are dust, gaseous pollutants, noise in the mine. These are categorized as occupational hazards. The various quarrying operations like loading/unloading and vehicle movement involve risks and will have to be performed with safety norms. First –Aid kit and emergency medicines will be kept at quarry site along with a display board showing the contact no of nearby Medical Doctor / Hospital.
9. Social Infrastructure
It is expected that the project will lead to much needed employment opportunities in the villages which will contribute to the socio-economic development of this area.
Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R) Plan
Not required as the area is away from village and free from rehabilitation.
Stabilization and Vegetation of dumps:
Dump slopes will be stabilized by planting saplings, grass and good root bearing saplings such as local species. Retention wall will be made along the dump to channelize the rainwater out of the dumping area if required.
Development of green belt along lease boundary by planting about 200 trees during this plan period.
Sewerage System
In view of the personals engaged in the project the sewerage system will be developed nearby the quarry area. This may avoid polluting the land / water / air of the area.
Environmental Monitoring:
To assess the prevailing quality of the air, water, noise etc. a regular monitoring of these parameters will be made to arrive at improvement/ protection measure.
CHAPTER-10
Measures to be taken for reclamation of land
Mined out land
The estimated mineable reserve in the area is 20306.25 tons (8122.5 m3).A total of 0.183 ha area has been earmarked for quarry workings in five year plan period, whereas, a maximum production level of about 4087.50 ton (1635 m3) will be achieved in five year. Ultimate pit limit is fixed keeping pit slope at the angle of 45o.
Storage and prevention of topsoil
The top soil has already been removed in previous year. About 0.092 ha area will be planned to utilize for afforestation purposes along lease boundary. For preventing of erosion of soil retention wall will be made along lease boundary.
Proposal for reclamation of land affected by quarrying activities during and at the end of the quarry lease
At the cessation of quarrying operations after the extraction of mineral the consolidated waste dumps will be stabilized and plantation will be taken up above them. The step benches will be made and Afforestation work will be carried out on them. Care will be taken to transfer the topsoil preserved separately to put it back on the mined out area and the dump surfaces along with the grass cover.
CHAPTER-11
Quarrying Closure Plan
Introduction
The area applied of 0.364 hectare falls between the Latitude 21° 9'36.60"N to 21° 9'38.12"N and Longitude 82° 0'35.18"E to 82° 0'37.75"E,in the survey of India Toposheet No. 64K /4. The area comes under Arang Tehsil of District Raipur (C.G.).
