PART-A
3.0 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION
3.1 3.1 (A) Topography, Drainage & Geology: The lease area is comparatively low lying area in respect to adjoining surrounding
area as being river bed. The adjoining area to river bed is plain agriculture area. The
Sabarmati river here in this area flowing from NE to SW & further after few kilometers
turning to NW-SE .
(B) REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The lease area is falling in the river bed of River Sabarmati on western bank. The Sabarmati
river is one of the major rivers in the western India. It originates in Dhebar lake in Aravalli
Range of the Udaipur District of Rajasthan and meets the Gulf of Cambay of Arabian Sea after
travelling 371 km in a south-westerly direction across Gujarat. The river flows through
Gujarat except initial 9.5 km.
During the course of time the land area got reloaded and become a part of river bed having
sand deposition. Since, the sand area falling in the riverbed, the general surface level of the
lease area is comparatively lower than the surroundings.
(C) LOCAL GEOLOGY
River & Drainage – The lease area forms the river bed of River Sabarmati which flow towards
South-West direction in the lease area and further flowing towards South-Eastern direction.
The general trend of the river is from NE to SW.
Transportation of Sand - The sand is not a in situ materials but being carried out by flowing
water during the monsoon every year from various catchment areas of the river and getting
accumulated at convenient locations like bends, escarpments etc. and as such the sand of the
lease area is a transported material brought from various locations and getting accumulated
at convenient places in the flow direction of the River. The size of the accumulated sand
varies due to the time factor taken by the river as well as the quantum & velocity of flowing
water. The depositions normally take place on winding course
(bends)/meanders/loops/circuitous journey (of a river) in flow direction.
A Surface Geological Plan is attached on a scale of 1:1000, showing general topography and
geology of the area and Geological cross section on scale 1:10 00.
Shri Jitendrasinh Narpatsinh Sisodiya, Village: Sadra Ta & Dist: Gandhinagar Page 11
There is no public road passing through the area. No agriculture fields are existing in the lease area
3.3 (a) Physical Properties
Physical properties of Ordinary Sand found in the area are as follows:
Form Medium to coarse Grain Color Dirty brownish Streak Colorless Sp. Gravity 2.68 Cleavage Non Visible
3.3 (a) GEOLOGICAL PLAN AND EXPLORATION:
Topographical /Surface/ Geological plans of the applied area has been prepared on the scale
1:1000 with contour interval as 1m. (Plate-3&4)
(b) GEOLOGICAL PLAN The topographical plan prepared on a scale 1: 1000 at contour interval of 1m has been
utilized to prepare the geological plan (plate no. 4)
(c) GEOLOGICAL SECTION: The section of each strike and across the body have been drawn, (refer plate no. 4) (d) FUTURE EXPLORATION:
Massive deposit of ordinary sand occurs in the lease area, having exposure on all
sides up to bottom of sequence. The huge quantity of material to sustain production more
than 5 years is visible under Measured & indicated category. Therefore no future exploration
will be required.
(e) GEOLOGICAL RESERVES: The reserves estimation are done from the data collected during the survey of lease
area and earlier from geological plan with sections are prepared. The recovery percentage
and actual volume is considered for planning for the lower contour. The whole exercise when
computed for a depth up to where the contour of 3 mts below the surface of the riverbed is
considered to the "Measured & indicated reserves" due to the condition laid down by DEIAA,
sand mining to be restricted only up to 3mts below the surface. The specific Gravity is taken
2.68 to give tonnage.
Shri Jitendrasinh Narpatsinh Sisodiya, Village: Sadra Ta & Dist: Gandhinagar Page 12
(f) Geological Assessment / Study: (i) The topographical plan:
The topography of the applied area has been shown on Surface Plan (Plate No. 3)
prepared in the scale of 1:1000 with contour interval of 1m. It has been taken as a
base plan for preparation of Surface Geological Plan (Plate No. 4).
(ii) Method of Estimation Reserves
Reserve estimation in small-scale non-metallic mineral area is a task which cannot be
very definitive and exhaustive but it is only on the basis for prospecting and
exploration data of adjoining mine. The reserve of mineral has been estimated by
Surface area method. Based on the experiment & the estimated reserves have been
only Measured & Indicated category. The Surface area has been calculated from the
surface geological plan. The average surface area has been multiplied by thickness of
mineral and then multiplied by the bulk density.
INSITU BULK DENSITY:
Bulk Density of Ordinary Sand has been taken as 2.68. Thus, in all the categories, the
volume is calculated and multiplied by bulk density of the mineral to give the
tonnage.
(iii) Parameters of estimation of geological reserve and their category.
The following parameters have been considered while estimating the geological
reserves:
Parameters of estimation of geological reserve and their category:
The following parameters have been considered while estimating the geological
reserves (in situ):
1. Average 03 m strata has been considered as in measured category. Recovery of sand
may be considered as 100%. The recovery is an assumed it may be changed due any
reason cannot consider for any kind of assessment.
2. Below Measured category average Nil m considered as Indicated Category.
3. Below Indicated Category average Nil m considered inferred Category.
Shri Jitendrasinh Narpatsinh Sisodiya, Village: Sadra Ta & Dist: Gandhinagar Page 13
As per the condition laid down by DEIAA sand mining will be restricted to 3 mts depth from the
surface & 10 mts away from the main stream of river. The Reserve Estimation is calculated by

1. Mining: Out of the estimated resources, mineral resources blocked in statutory barriers
along the lease boundary, which cannot be mined at present so these resources are classified
under UNFC code 211&222. Remaining reserves which can be mined are classified under
UNFC code 111&122.
2. Beneficiation: No beneficiation is required.
3. Economic Aspects: Mining can be economically continued with open cast method of mining.
4. Environmental concern: In Continuation of Mining Progressive closure activities such as wire
fencing around the pit and plantation will be carried out.

4.0 MINING
4.1 to 4.3. Proposed method of development / working with design parameters
The deposit is in form of river bed sand and mining of the same will be carried out manually
by open cast mining method. Sand is very well exposed in applied lease area; opencast is the
only method which can be followed to work the deposits.
The proposed method of mining is open-cast manual mining. The mining will be carried out
by manual labour and loaded into truck/tipper/dumper by manually. The mining of sand will
be carried out from the open by leaving 10 m from main stream and the depth of working
will be 3 m by making two benches of 1.5 m each to facilitate manual working.
The sand will be accumulated by labours in the convenient place and directly loaded into
truck/tipper/dumpers.
Since, there will not be pit formation, hence development of pit is not considered and sand is
deposited directly in every monsoon. As mentioned previously, lease area located within the
river bed and there will be continuous deposition in the area every year during monsoon and
sand will get refilled wherever mined out area during the year. So the mining activity need
not be properly lined out as seen the other mineral cases. In the case of sand mining, the
mined out areas will get refilled during monsoon and again mining can be carried out in same
location.
4.4 Proposed rate of production & life of mine:
4.4.1 Proposed rate of production:
The applicant will excavate ordinary-sand at the rate of total 96500 tones per year.
4.4.2 Life of Mine:
As the lease is located in the river bed and mineral is replenished every year. Life of mine
cannot be determined.
4.5 Opencast Mining:
It is proposed to adopt the semi-mechanized open cast method of mining by using
conventional excavation manually or by JCB loader/Excavator. As stated earlier ordinary
sand mining is entirely different from conventional type of mining. Rather it would be
appropriate to term ordinary sand mining as an "Art" where due care is to taken to maintain
environment and ecology.
The mining suggested is semi mechanized at present and subsequently based on market it is
planned to improvement converted to mechanized operations. All pit working will be
securely fenced as per the standards prescribed by DGMS.

5 Life of the mine at the end of lease period Life of mine can’t be decided as the
Excavated pits will be replenished by
River flow in every monsoon.
6 Total life of the mine Many more years till water flows in
river
Mine will run for many years as the transported sand will come every year during monsoon
and the excavated pits will be refilled.
Shri Jitendrasinh Narpatsinh Sisodiya, Village: Sadra Ta & Dist: Gandhinagar Page 19
4.5.1 Mining:
The proposed working to extend towards North direction along section line D-D' It is also
proposed to continue working in this part in future also, until the reserves are exhausted. At
the end of three year period total 2.00.00 hectares area will be cover undermining.
4.5.2 Ultimate Pit Limit:
The mine able reserves of sand covered almost full of the area. In order to ensure maximum
recovery of reserves, the pit would be extended on all sides up to the mineral limits where
such limits are within the lease boundary. In case the mineral extend beyond the lease
boundary, the pit would be restricted up to the lease boundary. No other features are
present within the applied area that are likely to affect the design of the ultimate pit limit
(refer plate no. 4 & 5).
4.5.3 Disposal of Waste and Backfilling:
There will not be any mineral waste generated from mining and the excavated pits will
naturally be refilled by transported sand every year question does not arise.
During the proposed Three Years period year wise barbed wire fencing will be done around
the plantation area. Wire fencing will prevent any inadvertent entry.
4.6 Opencast Mining:
It is proposed to adopt the manual open cast method of mining by us. The mining suggested
is semi mechanized at present. All pit working will be securely fenced as per the standards
prescribed by DGMS.
4.7 Post Mining Land use Pattern:
The pits will be refilled by transported sand every year in monsoon. Therefore the area will
be used as river bed in future also.

The lease area is part of river bed the river flow will be only during monsoon period and there
will not be any mining work during monsoon. Domestic wastewater will be disposed off through
septic tank with soak pit outside of the lease area at safe distance.
(b) AIR QUALITY:
The leased area is barren river bed part of Govt.land. There is no such activity exist that can
discharge the pollution. The quality of air is natural and fresh. Some dust will be created during
transportation of mineral Regular sprinkling of water will be done at transport routes of mines.
Vehicles and equipment used for mining will be maintained properly & will not be overloaded so
as to keep vehicular emission in control. Ambient air quality will be maintained at site and
nearest human habitation.
(c) NOISE LEVEL:
Noise will be produced at mine site during transportation of mineral. Necessary steps will be
taken as per the guidelines given by DEIAA.
(d) WATER REGIME:
The mining will be restricted to 3 mts depth and outside the river flow area there will not be
any impact on sub-surface water regime.
(e) VIBRATION LEVEL Due to blasting
(f) No blasting required for mining of sand.

(g) SOCIO ECONOMIC EFFECTS:
There is no any human habitation in or around the lease area hence no evacuation of human
settlement will be required for mining work. Proposed mining work will not have any kind of
adverse effect on socio-economic environment of the area. Surrounding local peoples will
get employment in mining work and related transportation.
(h) HISTORICAL MONUMENTS:
There does not exist any kind of historical monument, building, temple etc. in the leased area
hence there will not be any adverse impact.
(i) TEMPORARY STORAGE AND UTILISATION OF TOP SOIL:
The leased area is bearing no soil cover exposure hence storage of top soil will not arise.
(j) RECLAMATION OF LAND:
During first Three Years only 3.00 mts deep excavation proposed to be carried out, hence
there will not be any kind of requirement of reclamation will arise.
(k) PROGRAME FOR AFFORESTATION:
Program for the forestation during first Three Years will be done in 0.10 hectare area in
suitable area as mentioned in the plate No.6.Leasee will plant 50 local species tree like
Sagvan, Sisam, etc local species,. Every year 50 trees will be planted outside the leased area.
(l) STABILISATION AND VEGETATION OF DUMPS:
During mining there will not be any generation of waste top- soil, overburden etc. hence
question does not arise.
(m) MEASURES TO CONTROL EROSION/SEDIMENTATION OF WATER COURSES:
There does not exist any water course in the leased area hence question of any
erosion/sedimentation due to proposed mining work does not arise. Only during monsoon
accumulated rain water will be discharged which will not carry any toxic or harmful material
dissolved in the water, hence requirement of treatment of water will not arise.
(n) TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF WATER FROM MINE:
No water or any kind of liquid will be generated due to mining hence question of treatment
of water/liquid will not arise.

(o) MEASURES FOR MINIMISING ADVERSE EFFECTS ON WATER REGIME: There will not be any
kind of impact on water regime hence no action required to be taken.
(p) MEASURES FOR PROTECTION HISTORICAL MONUMENTS AND FOR REHABILATION OF
HUMAN SETTLEMENTS LIKELY TO BE DISTURBED DUE TO MINING ACTIVITY:
As mentioned earlier there does not exist any historical monument in or around 500 mts
periphery of the lease area hence question of protecting historical monuments does not
arise. There is no human settlements in the leased area hence question for evacuation and
rehabilitation or provision of compensation for land will not arise.
(q) SOCIO ECONOMIC BENEFITS ARISING OUT OF MINING:
The proposed mining activity will generate employment to nearby local persons in mining
and transportation (related to mining) .At least 10 to 12 skilled and unskilled persons will be
employed which will raise the standard of living of local persons.

13.0 PROGRESSIVE MINE CLOSURE PLAN
At the end of current Three Years mining plan maximum depth of Pit will be 1.8 mts. The
excavated pits will be replenished by sand transported by river flow every year in monsoon. The river
bed will remain as river bed only. So there is no need for reclamation or progressive closure of mine
at this stage.
Financial Assurance:
The lessee is required to submit the financial Assurance for the area to be put to use for mining and
allied activities at the end of scheme of mining period. Following table shows the calculation as per
the CCOM’s circular no. 4/2006.
