S. No

Information/Checklist confirmation

Yes/ No

Details thereof (with approximate quantities /rates, wherever possible) with source of information data

1.1 Permanent or temporary change in land use, land cover

Yes The change in land-use will be temporary as the area is river bed and mined out area will be replenished



or topography including increase in intensity of land use (with respect to local land use plan)

every year. Hence there will be no permanent change in land use, land cover or topography of the area.

1.2 Clearance of existing land, vegetation and buildings?

No The lease area is devoid of any vegetation. Mining activities will not cause any damage to riparian vegetation cover as the working will not extend beyond the 7.5 m offset left against the banks in the river.

1.9 Underground works including mining or tunneling?

No Proposed project is opencast semi-mechanized mining only.

1.10 Reclamation works? No Artificial reclamation is not feasible in river bed mining.

It is proposed that plantation on both sides of the approach village roads will act as greenbelt.

Plantation will also be carried out at social forestry land in villages, school and the areas allocated by the Panchayat/ State authorities.

1.11 Dredging? No The work involves excavation of Boulder, Gravel & Sand from dry river bed and as such as no dredging will be done.

1.12 Offshore structures? No Not involved. 1.13 Production and manufacturing

processes? No Only excavation of Boulder, Gravel & Sand from river

bed. No other production or manufacturing process is involved which would change the land use or topography of the area.

1.14 Facilities for storage of goods or materials?

No Minerals excavated will be loaded directly into trucks for transportation. Hence no storage facility will be required.

No The project does not involve any new or diversion of transmission lines or pipeline.

1.21 Impoundment, damming, culverting, realignment or other changes to the hydrology of watercourses or aquifers?

No No impoundment or damming is involved in the project.

The ultimate depth of mining is up to 3m bgl. The mining will be restricted above one meter of ground water table.

No ground water intersection is involved hence no change is anticipated in the hydrology of water courses or aquifers by the mining operation

1.22 Stream crossings? Yes Mining lease area itself lies on the river bed. 1.23 Abstraction or transfers of water

from ground or surface waters? Yes Total water requirement is about 11.49 KLD (1.93

KLD - Drinking & Domestic Uses) + 6.67KLD - Plantation + 2.89 KLD -Dust Suppression).

1.24 Changes in water bodies or the land surface affecting drainage or run-off?

No There will be no change in the flow pattern of the River Bed.

River bed mining will be channelized river but will not affect the surface run-off.

1.25 Transport of personnel or materials for construction, operation or decommissioning?

No No construction is proposed. Personnel from surrounding areas coming for employment will use state transport and other available means of transportation for reaching the site.

1.26 Long-term dismantling or decommissioning or restoration works?

No No. Long-term dismantling or decommissioning or restoration works are involved.

1.27 Ongoing activity during decommissioning which could

No The lease area is river bed and mined out area will be replenished gradually during rainy season.



have an impact on the environment?

Hence there will be no change in land use, land cover or topography of the area.

1.28 Influx of people to an area in either temporarily or permanently?

No Mostly local people will be employed to carry out sand extraction. So no influx of people will be there temporarily or permanently.

1.29 Introduction of alien species? Yes Chance of introduction of alien species during the transportation of vehicles by vehicles tyre.

1.30 Loss of native species or genetic diversity?

No There will be no loss of genetic diversity but some native species may be loss due to the mining. This loss of native species will be compensated by proposed plantation of native spices at allocated places suggested by the Gram Panchayat/ State authorities. It will help to sustain the surrounding environment. Some local herbs and shrubs are present near mine site. Therefore, there is no threat of loss of genetic diversity.
