CHAPTER –

INTRODUCTION

Sh.Satish Kumar Garg & Co. C/o Royal Marble & Mines, A- Industrial Estate Narnaul has

been granted a mining lease for Musnota over an area of 79.32 hectares land for a period of

twenty years with effect from 29-04-2002 under MCR- Now The Central Government

made amendment in the Mines and Minerals (D&R) Amendment Act, 1957 vide Ordinance dated

15.01.2015 which became an Act on 27.03.2015, has provided that the period of lease for minerals

other than coal, lignite and atomic minerals, on and

from the date of commencement of Mines and Minerals (D&R) Amendment Act, 2015, shall be 50

years. So in this case also now the lease period shall be 50 years. i.e .29-04-2002 to 28- -

Therefore mining leases granted before the commencement of the Mines and Minerals

(Development and Regulation) Amendment Ordinance, 2015 shall be deemed to have been

granted for a period of fifty years] in Village-Musnota, District : Mahendergarh, State-Haryana,

for extraction of Quart, Feldspar, Barytes and Quartzite (Road metal & Masonry stone). The first

Mining Plan was approved by Director Mines & Geology Haryana vide letter

No.DMG/HY/Sr.G/MP/6563 dated 02- - under rule 22 (4) of Mineral Concession Rules,

1960. The mine has not been opened/started yet due to want of Environmental Clearance(EC)

from Ministry of Environment & Forests Govt. of India.

Now as a large quantity of associated building material ( Road metal Masonry stone)is

occurring/available in the lease area and Haryana Government has allowed all associated

minerals as part of lease. Applicant has applied to mine the associated minor minerals Road

metal and masonry stone/Quartzite . Therefore a Modified Mining Plan along with Progressive

Mine Closure Plan is needed including Road metal and Masonry stone in the same area..

Therefore a modified mining plan under rule 12 of MCDR and Under Rule 70 (1) of Haryana

Minor Mineral Concession, Stocking, Transportation of Minerals and Prevention of Illegal Mining

Rules, 2012) is prepared and being submitted for approval.

The first Mining plan was prepared and approved for 7000 MT Mineral. In the last Mining

Scheme the production was proposed to 50,000 MT Mineral. Now the lessee wish to increase the

production from 50000 MT/year to Tonne / annum from this area, by systematic &

scientific way of mining, using heavy earth moving machineries and conducting deep hole

blasting.

CHAPTER-

GEOLOGY & RESERVES:

3.1 Physiography: -

The lease area consists mostly of low height ridges and shallow valleys. Ridges are

generally dominated by Quartzite boulders/feldspar and quartz with patches of alluvium

on top. The highest RL recorded is 408 mRL and the lowest RL is 354mRL

There are two rivers namely Dohan and Krishnawati which passing through the district .

Krishnawati River is originated from the the hillocks of Sikar district of Rajasthan and

Dohan is originated from the hillocks near Khetri . Both the rivers remained dry except

during rainy days. Physiographically, the district consists of flat and level plain

interrupted from place to place by clusters of sand dunes, isolated hillocks and rocky

ridges. A few isolated rocky ridges elevated sharply from the plain occur in the south

central portion of the district.

The lease area does not have any water body. There are dry nalas in which water flows

during rains for a short duration only, otherwise they remain dry for the rest of the

months. The rain water from these nalas drains either into local Johars or in agriculture

fields.

Vegetation

The vegetation of the lease area is scanty and includes thorny shrub and bushes.

Commonly found tree species around the lease area are Kikar, Khair (Acacia catechu),

Neem (Azadirachta indica), Jand, Karir, Raunj, Dhak (Anogeissus pendudla), Ber (Zizypus

mauritinia), Shisham (Dalbergia Sissoo), Pipal (Ficus religiosa) etc.

Climate and Rainfall

The climate of Mohindergarh district can be classified as tropical steppe, Semi-arid and

hot which is mainly dry with very hot summer and cold winter except during monsoon

when moist air of oceanic origin penetrates into the district. There are four seasons in a

year. The hot weather season starts from mid-March to last week of the June followed

by the South-West monsoon which lasts up to September. The transition period from

ANNEXURE 2


September to October forms the post monsoon season. The winter season starts late in

November and remains up to first week of March.

The normal annual rainfall of the district is 420 mm, which is unevenly distributed over

the area 23 days. The South-West monsoon sets in from last week of June and withdraws

in end of September, contributing about 88% of annual rainfall. July and August are the

wettest months. Rest 12% rainfall is received during non-monsoon period in the wake of

western disturbances and thunderstorms. Generally rainfall in the district increases from

southwest to northeast. The mean minimum and maximum temperature in the area

ranges from 5.6o C to 41o C during January and May or June respectively.

3.2 Geology

(i) Regional Geology

The rocks of Delhi Supergroup constitute a part of the main Aravalli Range originating

from Gujarat in the southwest to Haryana in the northeast. This supergroup comprises

thick pile of meta-sediments having a cumulative thickness of 6000 m which is divided

into an older Alwar Group and younger Ajabgarh Group. The Alwar Group is dominantly

arenaceous with argillaceous intercalations while the Ajabgarh Group is dominantly

argillaceous with arenaceous and calcareous components. The demarcation between the

groups, in the absence of any unconformity, is based on facies variation, structural

discontinuity and lithological characteristics in the rocks exposed in the adjacent state of

Rajasthan. The rocks of both these groups are intruded by acid and basic Intrusives. The

rocks of Alwar Group in Haryana are represented by Bayal- Panchnota Formation, after

the type locality in Bayal and Panchnota villages, which is equivalent to Pratap garh

Formation, the youngest formation of Alwar Group in Rajasthan. The rocks belonging to

this group are exposed in two sectors in south western and southeastern Haryana. In the

southwestern sector these rocks are exposed as linear NE - SW trending ridges consisting

of quartzite. These ridges are exposed in Bayal-Panchnota, Sareli-Tehla- Musnota,

Ruppursarai - Narhedi, Sohla, Nimbi, Narnaul, Khodana and Kaliana areas. In the

southeast, prominent exposures are found around Khori Khurd, Khori Kalan and

Shikarpur. The regional strike varies from N15oE-S15oW to N45oE-S45oW with vertical to

steep dips to the NW or SE. The metapelitic rocks exposed in Tosham area are associated

with rhyohite and granite, and are tentatively clubbed under undifferentiated Ajabgarh

Group, till further classification. The detailed stratigraphic sequence of the Delhi

ii) Local Geology of the area

The prominent rock units encountered in the area are as under-

Recent---- Blown Soil/Alluvium

ANNEXURE 2


Intrusives--- Quart vein, pegmatite with Feldspar

Ajabgarh Series--- Quartzite

(i) Alluvium / Top soil:

It is the top layer and the youngest sedimentary layer in the lease area. It is mainly

exposed in the foot hill side of the lease area. It is reddish, brown in color. Thickness

varies from 0.1m to 0.2m.

(ii) Quartz

Quart occurs in this area as intrusive veins and is very well seen to outcrop at many

locations within lease area. Old workings are seen at two hillocks 25mx10m and 20x10m

while the third outcrops towards eastern side 90x8m has boundary quartz scattered on

the surface and massive quart seen intruded within the argillaceous rocks. It is non-

crystalline and in massive lumps, translucent to opaque, white in colour, often coated

with limonite along joints and fractures and possesses invariably vitreous lusture and

well developed crystals are rarely seen.

iii) Quart vein, Pegmatite with Feldspar

The pegmatite body is represented by veins of feldspar varying in width from 25

to 0 m intruded within argillaceous rocks. There is a remarkable gradation

between the granite gneiss and feldspar. Granite/pegmatite are composed of

orthoclase, albite and oligoclase partly mercurire and other accery minerals,

ferromegnesium minerals and magnetite whereas felspar deposit contains only

either the soda feldspar or potash feldspar along with quart.

Pink Feldspar

Well outcropped, massive, crystalline deposit. Four veins varying in length from

60 to 160m and width from 0 to m occurs intruded within argilaceous rocks.

Two old exploratory pits measuring x 5m and mx m in size are available

for the purpose or reserves estimation. It is a good deposit and economically

workable.

ANNEXURE 2


iv) Barites:-

Lenticular veins of buff color Barites occur associated within Ajabgarh rocks in this

area. Maximum thickness of the veins seen during survey is 30cms. It is reported

to be tapering towards depth. The Barites of this area analysed as Ba-56.5%, SiO -

2.83%, R O3-

The barites deposit is not considered economically viable and is not considered

for reserves calculation as well as mining.

v) QUARTZITE (RM&MS)

This type of formation covers the major part of the hills in the area.

It is reddish, bluish and gray in colour, semi friable to hard and fine grained in nature.

Quartzite occurs mostly as building stone extending over the entire length and width of

the lease area.

Structure

The general strike of the formation in the area is North 20 - 3 East to South 20 - 3

West with vertical dips.

Rock Types

The main rock type is the quartzite which has been intruded by the pegmatite and quart

intrusive bodies. The quartzite is very hard, compact and almost equigranular in texture.

It breaks in sub-concoidal fracture with sharp edges The quartzite’s having undergone

structural deformities have well developed joint/fracture planes which have permitted

weathering action by natural elements. These are dark gray to brown in color. The

brownish color could be attributed to the effect of weathering of the ferruginous

material in the original sediments.

To understand the structural configuration of the allotted area, surface geological

mapping has been done on a scale of 1:1000. Geological cross-sections and longitudinal

section have been prepared on a scale

DETAILS OF EXPLORATION

ANNEXURE 2


(A) ALREADY CARRIED OUT IN THE AREA

The area has been explored by the lessee with the old quarries. The mineral is exposed

and the working pits clearly reveal the occurrence of mineral in the whole area. However

to explore the further depth wise continuity further exploration is needed in area.

(B) MINING PROPOSED TO BE CARRIED OUT

The mineral is exposed up to the lowermost level of 3 mRL from the top most part of

the general surface level at 40 mRL. However to explore the further depth-wise

continuity further exploration is needed in area by way of bore holes up to the depths

of 0m from surface as shown in geological plan.

METHOD OF ESTIMATION OF RESERVES

Parameters of Reserve Estimation:

For estimating the reserves of Quartz, Feldspar and building stone the following parameters are

considered:

The shape, size and width & depth extension of mineral is brought on the geological plan and

sections. These sections have been utilized for estimation of mineral reserves.

For calculating the reserves the specific gravity of the minerals has been taken as follows as per

Lab Report. Specific gravity for quartz, feldspar and quartzite has been taken 2.63, 2.53 and 2.75

respectively.

Based on geological cross sections the actual width and thickness is taken into consideration.

Mineable reserves are considered @ 80% of geological reserves

ANNEXURE 2


3 Recovery of Feldspar from Pegmatite is about 50% and rest of the mineral is of low grade

Feldspar which can be used as road metal.

3 3 Categorization of Reserves:

The reserves up to 40m below ground (up to 3 mRL)are considered as Proved Reserves, further

20 m i.e from 3 to mRL are considered Probable Reserves and further 20 m ( to 2

mRL) depth wise are considered as Possible Reserves

production comes to MT Felspar+3 MT Quartz + MT building Stone/ Quartzite,

for this, following consideration taken for the proposed mine layout to be carried out

systematically & scientifically.

Site Appreciation

Our experts (Geologist, Mining Engineer) visited the mine site and found that the allotted

area comprised of Quartz , Feldspar, Quartzite minerals and traces of Berytes. Two

shallow building material old pits exist in the allotted area revealing that the area has

been worked for building stone in the past. In addition to it there are two pits one each

of quartz and feldspar worked in the past. The area covered by old pits (broken area) is

about ha. The shape of the pit shows that no systematic mining has been done. Now

it is proposed to undertake systematic and scientific mining for excavation of quartz,

feldspar &road metal and masonry stone/building stone during the lease period.

Pre-production Activities:

As a pre-production activity, roads from mine entry to top most entry to the initial mining

area, from mining faces to the proposed dump area, from ground level to the mining

area, to the mines office complex, and to the garage / workshop will be developed. Access

roads / haul roads from topmost bench to benches at lower levels shall be developed

gradually. As mining operations advance to lower levels, larger face lengths and width

shall be available. Face management, which is a continuous process, shall be taken into

account to secure shortest (average) lead distance up to crusher / dump yard as also to

ANNEXURE 2


prevent clustering of dumpers. Following activities shall be undertaken during quarry

development phase:

Removal of vegetation and thin soil to expose mineral/quartzite beds

To make the access road to the mine working area.

Provision and construction of access roads from ground level to mines office

complex, workshop, entrance to mine faces

Development of haulage road from proposed crusher location to the floor of

initial mining areas at a slope of 1 in 20 is proposed (not exceeding 1 in 16

except for ramps)

Making of parapet wall/retaining walls along gradient of haul road.

Construction of mine office, first aid station, crèche, canteen, workshop and

other ancillary infrastructural facilities shall also be undertaken during first and

second year of developmental activities.

MINING OPERATIONS:

The mining operations will comprise of following activities for excavation of mineral.

a) Drilling of “Down-the-Hole” holes as per specified pattern.

b) Blasting of holes

I) Primary Blasting

II) Secondary Blasting

c) Loading of blasted material by deploying hydraulic excavators

d) Transportation of material to Crusher

Thus, these mining operations shall be carried out by fully mechanized opencast method utilizing Heavy Earth Moving Equipment (HEMM) in conjunction with deep hole drilling by crawler mounted DTH drills and blasting. To start with benches shall be kept narrow and then gradually widened. To the extent possible, benches shall be kept along dip and advanced along the strike to give a fairly well blended material in each bench. The direction may be varied in due course based on experience gained, to give wider benches, longer faces and proper alignment along haul roads / ramps.

It is proposed to adopt mechanized opencast mining method for exploitation of the

mineral. Drilling and blasting shall be required to dislodge the mineral. The mining

method involves breaking the rocks with explosives, loading the material with excavators

and haulage with dumpers.

Pit Design Parameters:-

In view of the geological setting of the deposit it is proposed to work the mine by

mechanized open cast method using shovel and dumper combination. The rate of

production is proposed 3 MT/year ( 000 T per day) by the following

mentioned parameters so that not only the production is achieved but mine also takes a

ANNEXURE 2


4.1.i Ultimate pit slope: -

Quartzite rock is hard and compact. Once the pit reaches the ultimate limit, it is

necessary that pit does not start collapsing due to weathering and other effects. This can

be achieved by planning ultimate pit slope at a maximum of 49 degree to avoid collapse

of the pit sides. There is no overburden except a thin sol cover. Entire mineral produced

will be useful.

.

4.1.ii Bench height and width

Since the host rock quartzite is hard and compact, the same parameters are considered

for making benches. In view of mechanized method of mining to be adopted, the bench

height is proposed 9.0mtrs. Operating bench width will be 15-20 mtrs which will finally

reduce to 6.5 mtrs while working bench below with intermediate safety berm of 8 m.

Formation of benches in this manner will result in an overall safe slope of 49 or less in

the ultimate pit position.

4.1.iii Face length :-

The following parameters have been followed to arrive at the face length to facilitate the

required production of 3 ,00,000 MT mineral

Since one pit is planned to develop in the area to obtain targeted production, the

optimum face length available along the strike length is sufficient to cater to the

optimum production required. The face length will attain the maximum length at the end

of 3rd year. Production of proposed pit shall cater the production of Quartz, Feldspar and

Associated Minerals as per given production levels.

4.1. iv Bench alignment: -

The benches are gradually aligned to give a regular shape. In general the benches will

advance in all directions parallel to each other. Since geological formation in the area is

of simple nature, there will not be difficulty in maintaining the proposed bench

alignment.

ANNEXURE 2


4.1.V Depth of pit:

The reserves from surface level (varying from 354 to 40 mRL ) to 280 mRL are proposed

to be worked. The workings will start at 3 MRL and will reach up to 33 MRL at the end

of 5th year as detailed in the year wise plans Plate no.5-9 and Sections.

The elevation of the hill top is 408 MRL, the ground level varying from 354 to 408 mRL

and working is proposed below ground level i.e. up to 280 MRL.

Development during the First five years:

As the area has not been worked in the past by present lessee, certain pre-production

development work is required to align the mine road up to proposed mining site. The

construction of garland parapet, wire fencing etc, shall be provided year wise and will be

shifted along with the development of pit. A mineral, soil and dump stack yard ( 3

hectares) area Is ear marked. Soil stack yard ( mx m) is proposed to stack the soil

generated during the mining. Dump yard size is proposed 316mx105m)

A boundary wall around soil stack yard shall be made. The position of fencing, drain, toe

wall, dump yard size and soil stack yard size, plantation etc at the end of 5th year is as

detailed below and shown in the Year wise Plans at Plate no.5-9 and Sections.

Proposed Method of Mining

The proposed mining operations are designed to be carried out by mechanized open cast

mining method. The entire mining operations proposed are mechanized. Apart of mining,

ANNEXURE 2


the loading and transportation up to stack yard shall be done mechanically. It is proposed

to load in the trucks/dumpers directly to the destinations and mineral is not usually put

up in this stack yard to avoid the double handling. In the present operation the bench

height shall be 9mtrs. Each bench will advance one by one. While carrying out the mining

operations in accordance with the above provision the overall pit slope shall be

maintained the 49 the mineral bearing rocks being hard and compact.

Conceptual Mine Plan Parameter

The mining plan has been prepared considering the project life for 340 years. The life of

the mine (mineral wise) has been mentioned in para number 4.4.3. However, this is

subject to change in accordance with the production levels to be proposed in future

mining schemes. The mining is conceived as one long open mine pit. The opencast

mechanized mining method has been considered feasible for exploitation of the deposit.

The aspects of geotechnical behavior of quarry rocks have also been taken into

consideration to ascertain the suitable mine pit slopes. The major rock of the quarry is

quartzite, granite with pockets of quartz and could be classified in the category of harder

rock strata. The conceptualized mine pits are based on appropriate overall slope angle

broadly confirming to prevailing norms of mine safety department for harder rock strata.

The broad configurations of mine pit slope are shown in the enclosed drawing (Plate2)

and the broad details are as follows –

Overall Slope – 49 degree

Bench Height – 9 meters

Bench Width – Operating width 15-20 mtrs which will finally reduce to 6.5 meters with

intermediate safety berm of 8 mtrs width.

Individual Bench Slope – 80 degree

Burden of Holes - 4 meters

Spacing of Holes - 5 meters

Conceptual Mining plan

The conceptual Mining Plan has been prepared up to the mining lease period. It is

proposed to work the deposit by slicing of the top surface level during the first year of

mining and till the end of lease contract to exploit the mineral to its fullest extent.

Accordingly, in the beginning of the lease period for the first five years as give in the para

5.3, the proposed planned production is 3 , 00,000 MT/ annum.

Ultimate Pit Limits

It is proposed to work the deposit from the top to bottom of the top surface level.

Accordingly, the Ultimate Pit Limit has been drawn up to the 280 mRL (refer Plate No.

), which will be above the limit of the mineral reserve considered.

Ultimate size of the pit: -

S. No. Length(in m) Width(in m) Depth (in m)

ANNEXURE 2


Proposed ultimate pit angle is 49 as the rock is competent enough to make the slope

stable. Excavated part will be developed as water reservoir, which will recharge the

ground water table. Excavated part will be fenced and secured to stop the inadvertent

entry. Accumulated rainwater will also be useful to supply the drinking water to the

nearby residents & for agricultural purposes.

Extent of Mechanization:

Description for the calculation of adequacy and type of machinery and equipment

proposed to be used in different mining operations are enumerated below:-

Targeted Production= 3 MT per Annum

Working days per annum = 3

Production per day = 000 MT

Drilling

a) Tonnage of mineral excavated per hole = 9m x 4m x 5m x 2.5= 450 T

b) No. of holes required per day= 000 T/450 T = or say

c) Total meter age of drilling/day= holes x 9.5m = m

d) Capacity of each drill machine= 10 m per hour or 80 m per shift or 160 m per day

e) Hence no of drill machines= Drilling required per day/capacity of drilling

per day = 3 or say Nos of drill machine

Thus, It is proposed to use drill machines of 100 - 110mm dia. As per the production

target of about 000 MT it is estimated that about holes of 9.5 m depth per day (

m per day) will be required to maintain the proposed production targets. Therefore at

least drill machines of higher drilling rate (10 m/hour) with availability of 75% of time as

well and 80 % utilization hours will be required.

ANNEXURE 2


The details of machinery and performance will be as under

Loading Equipment, Haulage and Other Mining Machinery

Hydraulic Excavator:-

The productivity of excavator is decided based on the following consideration i.e. two

shifts per day working and 300 days in a year

For arriving at the rate of production per hour in case of the mine under reference, the following

formula is applicable:

Q= C x F x T x BD x BF/Tc

Where Q= Per hour handling of excavator in T

C= Bucket Capacity in cubic metres = 3.2 cum

F =

T = Time in seconds = 3600

Bf = Operating efficiency = 0.90

BD = Blasted Mass = 1.4

Tc = Time cycle per pass at 90 degree swing = 45 seconds

Thus Q = 3.2 x 0.9 x 3600 x 1.4 x 0.90/45 = 290 T per Hour

Excavator Category Capacity

A Diesel Hydraulic shovel 3.2 m3

B Fill Factor

C Tonnage Factor

D Availability of excavator

E Utilization of excavator

ANNEXURE 2


Per Excavator Per Day Output = Hourly capacity of excavator x effective hour per day = 290 x 12

= 3480 T

Therefore No of Excavators required = Total Handling per day/Handling by excavator per day =

3 or say 3 Nos + 1 excavators will be ready standby. Therefore total nos of

excavators are required for this project.

Hauling Equipment:

For calculation of number of dumpers, it is the lead from the mine to the destination which will

determine the no of dumpers. Based on calculations, it is established that total 3 Nos of 25 MT

capacity dumpers would be sufficient to execute the rated production at an average lead of 10

Km (one way with average speed of dumper 20 Kmph) However, including the standby

equipment; total requirement of dumper works out to be 20 Nos. of 25 MT capacities.

Hydraulic Rock Breaker:

To minimize the secondary blasting and to contain the accidents due to fly rocks, it is proposed

to deploy Hydraulic rock breakers for breaking of big boulders generated consequently upon

primary blasting, at working face site.

Thus, the total population of the equipment and other ancillaries as per above assumptions and

calculations, are summarized in below table:-

ANNEXURE 2


CHAPTER 6

MINE DRAINAGE

GENERAL:

Open cast mining projects requires effective arrangements for drainage and provision of

adequate dewatering capacity in the pits under mining. In the area under mining water

can reach the workings from surface drainage, rainwater and due to seepage through

joints and fissures. Therefore, the problem can be solved by preventing drainage water

from entering the pits on one hand and pumping out the percolated and direct rain water

from the pits on the other hand . The general water table around the lease area is at 0

meters below ground (3 mRL).

Drainage Around and Within Mine:

The mining area is undulatory slopping towards east direction. Initial mining shall be

mainly above the general ground level with only one side of the pit having slope along hill

and other side will remain open. Such situation do not warrant any water accumulation

as natural drainage will be available from the other open side of the pit.

However, as the mine progresses and mining continue below the general ground level as

envisaged during later part of lease period, the mining area will become a depression,

which may warrant accumulation of water during rainy season. A scheme is proposed to

prevent the accumulation of such water.

Garland drainage as shown in the mine plan (Plate no 5-9) shall be made all round the pit

to prevent the entry of surface/ rain water inside the pits.

All the benches will be provided with mild inward slope to keep the benches in drained

condition. Provision of sumps is provided as shown in Plate No 5-9. The lowest bench

shall be slightly sloped towards the sump so that the entire drain water goes to the

sump.

ANNEXURE 2


3 The working faces will be advanced with a mild upward gradient to facilitate the

drainage. The water shall be gradually drained from the upper most bench to the lowest

bench and then ultimately to the sump.

Similarly in the ultimate pit position, large sump will be provided at the pit bottom to

accumulate drained water as well as direct rain water.

5) Following measures shall be taken to prevent fall of side as per mine statute.

Provisions under MMR 1961 regarding Mine Workings (Slope angle, fall of sides, overhangs etc) Regulation 106. Opencast workings –

In opencast workings, the following precautions shall be observed, namely: - In alluvial soil, morum gravel, clay, debris or other similar ground -

(a) (i) the sides shall be sloped at an angle of safety not exceeding 45 degrees from the

horizontal or such other angle as the Regional Inspector may permit by an order in writing and subject to such conditions as he may specify therein; or

(ii) the sides shall be kept benched and the height of any bench shall not exceed 1.5 metres and the breadth thereof shall not be less than the height: Provided that the Regional Inspector may, by an order in writing and subject to such conditions as he may specify therein, exempt from the operation of this clause any working in the case of which special difficulties exist, which in his opinion make compliance with the provisions thereof not reasonably practicable; and

(a) Where ‘float’ or other similar deposit is worked by manual means on a sloping face, the face shall be benched and the sides shall be sloped at an angle of not more than 60 degrees from the horizontal. The height of any bench shall not exceed six meters and the breadth thereof shall not be less than the height: Provided that where the ore-body consists of comparatively hard and compact rock, the Regional Inspector may, by an order in writing an subject to such conditions as he may specify therein, permit the height of the bench to be increased up to 7.5 meters while its width is not less than six metres :Provided further that in case of a mine or part where special difficulties exist, the Chief Inspector may, by an order in writing an subject to such conditions as he may specify therein, relax the provisions of this sub-regulation.

(b) Where in any mine or part it is proposed to work by a system of deep-hole blasting and/or with the help of heavy machinery for its digging, excavation and removal in such manner as would not permit of compliance with the requirement of sub-regulation (1) the owner, agent or manager shall, not less than 60days before starting such work, give notice in writing of the method of working to the Chief Inspector and the Regional Inspector; and no such work shall be

ANNEXURE 2


commenced or carried out except in accordance with such conditions as the Chief Inspector may specify by an order in writing. Every such notice shall be induplicate, and shall give the details of the method of working including the precautions that are proposed to taken against the anger from falls of sides and material.

3 In an excavation in any hard and compact ground or in prospecting trenches or pits, the sides shall be adequately benched, slopped or secured so as to prevent danger from fall of sides.

No tree, loose stone or debris shall unless otherwise permitted in writing by the Chief Inspector be allowed to remain within a distance of three metres from the edge or side of the excavation.

No person shall undercut any face or side or cause or permit such undercutting as to cause any overhanging.

DEWATERING:

Since the depth of mining proposed is below the valley level and water table is about

0m below the general ground surface, there will be no chance of encountering the

ground water table during the mining operations. Hence normal-pumping operations will

be required during the monsoon season only. The water accumulates within the pits will

be due to direct rainfall over the pit and seepage from adjoining areas, if any.

The average rainfall of the district during all these years is 420 mm only.

An examination of the above reveals that the rainy season extends from June to

September. Although in the above period under consideration there has been rainfall in

other months also, but it can be considered as stray occurrence and will not after all

proposed pumping scheme.

The water to be pumped out from the open pits will be contributed both by direct

precipitation over the open pits and seepage. The water due to direct precipitation will

depend upon the rainfall and the area of the pit.

3 Based on the rainfall records, the sumps of the sizes as shown plates No. 5-9 shall be

provided at the bottom most bench. During the monsoon period a continuous process of

dewatering the sumps shall be there to facilitate the mining at the lower benches.

Based on the Rainfall data it is proposed to have a diesel engine operated water pump of

0H.P which may dewater 0m3/hour from the pit. The water will be sent to the drain of

ANNEXURE 2


0.5mtr depth as shown in the year wise plans Plate No. 5-9. This water will finally go into

the natural nallah.

and around Haryana, Delhi and other states of north India.

ANNEXURE 2


CHAPTER-

MINERAL BENEFICIATION

The mineral Quartz & Feldspar will be supplied to glass and ceramic industry and building

material produced will be in the boulders form, so it will be supplied to the local crushers.

Hence, there will be no beneficiation of the mineral within the allotted area. In view of the

availability of direct market for building stone/crushed stone, run-off-mine (ROM) will be

crushed to smaller sizes like railway grit, rori and stone dust in stone crushers located in and

around Narnaul and Dholera area. Building stones will be mined in the form of lumps and will be

sold in the form of lumps to the crusher owners.

For the proposed mineral processing (crushing) there is no chemical use involved. Furthermore,

all the material crushed will be sold to end users and as such there is no waste product/ tailing

waste.

ANNEXURE 2


CHAPTER-

SURFACE TRANSPORT

Mode of Transport of Mineral to the Dispatch Point: -

The transportation of mineral from pithead / stockyard to the consumer end crushers / traders will be

carried out by the trucks of purchaser of generally 25-40 MT Capacity. There is all weather metal-led

roads and then a katcha road right up to mines to dispatch the material from mines to the market. It will

be purchased by the parties at mine site and transported by them through their own arrangement of

trucks. The practice is quite sound in the area and ensure continuous lifting of the material. Customers

come with their own transport arrangement. However necessary arrangement of trucks can be done

from the near by truck operators union available at Narnaul/Nizampur.

The transportation of mineral from pit head / stock yard to the consumer end crushers / traders

will be carried out by the trucks deployed by the customer/purchaser and will be generally of 25

MT Capacity. There is all weather metalled road and then a katcha road right up to mines to

dispatch the material from mines to the market. Material is proposed to be sold to the

customers/ at mine site and transported by them through their own arrangement of trucks. The

practice is quite sound in the area and ensure continuous lifting of the material.

Customers/purchasers come with transport arrangement of their own. However necessary

arrangement of trucks can be done from the nearby truck operators union available at Narnaul.

However, we propose to build kacha road with the increase of production from the mine which

will bypass the village and there bye will not create any sort of problem to the near bye villagers.

To accommodate and to ensure smooth production and its transport to the tune of 4

dumpers/Day, the following points shall be considered:

Existing Kachcha road which joins mine to metalled road shall be

strengthened and shall be maintained regularly.

Proper traffic control shall be done at road crossings.

3 Road crossings shall be wide enough to ensure that dumpers plying on

the roads are safe to cross/overtake, where ever necessary.

Along the both side of kachchca road, plantation shall be done as it will

arrest the dust and will act as sound barrier to larger extent

(i) AIR QUALITY

Due to proposed five years mining activities the air pollution will be generated by drilling

and blasting operation, running of transport machinery like dumpers & excavators. To

reduce air pollution proposal for water spraying has already been made.

(ii) WATER QUALITY

In the proposed five years mine working, there will be no proposal to utilize any surface

or ground water. The water table is at 0 m below the surface level in the area, whereas

the proposed mining will be only upto 334 mRL. So, there will be no water pollution. The

water quality of the allotted area will not be affected by the mining operations. So, the

quality of water will remain the same during the proposed five years mining.

(iii) NOISE LEVEL

ANNEXURE 2


During the proposed mining operations there will be noise pollution due to following

activities:-

(1) Drilling of holes and running of compressors.

(2) Excavation by use of excavator.

(3) Transportation of material by use of dumper and excavator.

To control the noise due to above activities, regular weekly, fortnightly, quarterly &

annual maintenance will be carried out for all these machineries. The operators &helpers

will be provided with earplugs.

(iv) VIBERATION LEVELS

Blasting has been proposed for the mineral excavation. Vibration due to blasting will take

place but these vibrations are momentarily.

(v) WATER REGIME

There is no source of surface water in and around the allotted area. Natural water

courses exist out of the allotted area. These are serving the purpose of conveying

rainwater into pond. The water table is at about m from surface in the area.

(vi) SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE

The applicant shall spend 1% of profit for the development of the area. He donates

money in the school, to poor for treatment, temple and other social work.

(vii) HISTORICAL MONUMENTS

No public building, places of monuments are exists in or nearby the allotted area, so

there will be no effect by mining activities on any public building, places and monuments.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

(i) Storage & Preservation of top soil

Soil excavated from the area would be stacked at selected site. The top soil shall be taken

from these stack yards gradually to grow plantation as proposed.

(ii) Year wise proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining activities- For the

purpose of rehabilitation of mined out areas it is proposed that phased plantation

ANNEXURE 2


programme of appropriate species on the hill slopes, after attaining the pit slopes, shall

be attempted.

(iii) Program of afforestation, year wise for the initial five years indicating number of plants

with name of species to be afforested under different areas in hectares.

PROGRAMME FOR PLANTATION

The area is mostly rocky with very poor density of vegetation. Plantation will be carried

out around the mine, to arrest the dust at source. The total allotted area is 79.32 hectare

out of which 20% of the total area i.e. 16 hectare has to be covered under plantation

during the lease period. Accordingly, 3.20 hectare area has to be covered under

plantation yearly. Considering 1000 trees per hectare as a tree density, the applicant will

plant 3200 saplings per year. The survival rate is 80%. The dead plants will be replaced by

fresh plants during next year and 20% as replenishment during second year. From first to

fifth about 16ha area will e covered under plantation within . next five years period.

The rainfall in the area is also inadequate hence it is essential that the saplings of plants

should be of the variety which require minimum water and hence it is proposed to plant

300 saplings of local variety per year as recommended by the regional forest officer.

(v) MEASURES TO MINIMISE VIBERATIONS DUE TO BLASTING AND CHECK NOISE

POLLUTION

The noise and vibration pollution will be there during the proposed blasting.

Scientific blasting is proposed to reduce the vibrations and check noise pollution.

Earplugs will be provided to the work persons.

The permissible peak particle velocity limits is as follows: -

Type of structure Dominant excitation frequency, Hz.

< 8 Hz. 8- 25Hz. > 25 Hz.

ANNEXURE 2


There are several modules for calculation of ground vibration. The energy

released (E) is taken to be directly proportional to the weight (Q) of the explosive

fired. The common equation to assess the energy produced during blasting is-

E α Q ½

Studies on wave propagation phenomenon were conducted by Morris (1950). He

propounded that the amplitude (A) of particle displacement is proportional to the

square root of the weight of the charge (Q) and inversely proportional to the

distance (D) from the blast. That is:

Q

A = K ----

D

Where, K is the site constant.

Habberjam and Whetton (1952) suggested a higher power for the charge weight

in their formula.

A Q

The subsequent investigations (Duvall and Petkof, 1959; Attewell, 1964; Nicholls

et al., 1971; Siskind et al., 1980; and Daemen et al., 1983) have proposed further

modifications of the propagation law.

Assuming cylindrical explosive geometry for long cylindrical charges, Daemon et

al., (1983); Duvall and Petkof (1957); Duvall and Fagelson (1962); Duvall et al.,

(1963) concluded that any linear dimension should scale with the square root of

the charge weight. Blasts should be scaled to the equivalent distance or scaled

distance, which is defined as the actual distance (D) divided by the square root of

the charge weight (Q). The corresponding relationship assumes the form.

V=K (D/Q )-B

Where B is the slope of the best-fit straight line of the V (peak particle velocity)

versus D/Q plot on a log-log scale and K is the intercept on the particle velocity

axis when D/Q

ANNEXURE 2


Langefors et al. (1958) suggested the following relationship for various charging

levels (Q/D3 ) to estimate peak particle velocity. The equation is:

V=K (√Q/D )B

For spherical symmetry, the USBM investigations suggested that any linear

dimension should be scaled to the cube root of the charge size. Thus, a scaled

distance is the actual distance divided by the cube root of Hendron (1968) also

obtained similar results. An inverse power law was suggested to relate amplitude

of seismic waves and scaled distance to obtain the following relationships:

V=K (D/Q 3)-B

The empirical relationship suggested by the Indian Standard (1973) uses the

concept in which blast is scaled to the equivalent distance or scaled distance,

defined as the charge weight divided by the cube root of the square of actual

distance. The relation is expressed as-

V=K (Q 3/D)B

Davies et al. (1964); Birch and Chaffer (1983); Attewell (1964): Daemen et al.

(1983) considered no particular charge symmetry and used a general equation

instead:

V=KD-BQA

Where K, A and B are empirical constants which can be determined by multiple

regression analysis of two independent variables.

It is to be noted that after the invention of delay detonators (or millisecond

relays), the weight of the charge (Q became” maximum charge per delay fired in

a round of blast”

The empirical equation used for assessment of peak particle velocity (PPV) is:

V= 417.8 {D/Q }-

Where,

V= Peak particle velocity in mm /s

ANNEXURE 2


D= Distance between location of blast and gauge point.

Q= Quantity of explosive per blasting

Thus, vibration at a distance of 300 m from the blast site while blasting 58 kg. of

explosive in one round will be –

X {3 √ }-

= 417.8 X {300/ 7.61}-

= 417.8 X 1.265 / 3

= 417.8 X 0.032

= 13.36 mm/sec

The calculated peak particle velocity is 13.36 mm/sec, which is within permissible

limit as per DGMS circular 7 of 1997.

Considering the above inventions the following measures will be taken to

minimize the vibration: -

Blasting shall not be permitted within 100 m of surface structure.

Peak particle velocity at a distance of 100 m from the shot hole,

shall not exceed 10mm/ sec.

3 The flying fragments shall not project beyond the distance of 3 m.

Proper spacing & burden will be maintained.

Optimum utilization of the explosives will be ensured.

Direction of the hole will be maintained towards free face.

Electric delay detonator will be used.

Deck charging will be practiced for required fragmentation.

Measures to be taken to minimize the noise pollution: -

b. Night time (9.0 PM to 6.0 AM) - 65 dB A (leq)

Measures to Control Impacts of Noise: -

All the machineries including transport vehicles will be properly maintained to

minimize generation of noise.

Silencers in the machineries will be provided to reduce generation of noise.

3 Drilling with sharp edges bits will minimize generation of noise.

Control blasting will be done with proper charge of explosive to minimize

noise during blasting.

Secondary blasting will not be done.

Noise source will be isolated.

Attenuation between source & receive points will be incased.

Noise will be kept as a prime consideration while purchasing the machines.

Dense plantation in mining area will also reduce propagation of noise outside

the core zone.

ANNEXURE 2


Optimal blast hole geometry charge will be reused.

To coincide with times of high ambient noise level, the regular blasting will be

done.

Rock breakers will be used instead of secondary blasting.

3 Blasting will be avoided under unfavorable atmospheric conditions.

(ii) STABILISATION AND VEGETATION OF DUMPS

The alluvial soil, mine waste and other minerals are proposed to be stacked in the

stacking yard specially provided for the purpose. Care has been taken in selecting the site

for the stacking yards for the stacking purpose as such it is located in a secure place and

having solid base. These stacking yards have been protected by toe walls. The toe walls

will be constructed during first year’s period The height of these dumps is not likely to be

an eyesore in the area as these will also be lifted immediately after their generation.

(iii) TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF WATER FROM MINE AND BENEFICIATION PLANT

The proposed mine workings will be above the ground water table thus no measures will

be required. There will be no treatment of mineral to produce effluent hence it will not

require any management.

(iv) MEASURES FOR MINIMISING ADVERSE EFFECTS ON WATER REGIME

No impact will take place due to proposed mining activities on water quality also neither

the mineral nor any toxic substance will be discharged to the ground water. The

proposed excavation will reach only up to 334 mRL (after 5th year), so it will be much

above from water table. Hence no measures will be required.

(v) AFFORESTATION OF TAILING PONDS

As there is no beneficiation so tailing ponds are not proposed, hence afforestation of

tailing ponds will not be required.

(x) PREPARATION OF DUMPING GROUND FOR STACKING TOXIC MINERAL SUBSTANCE

ANNEXURE 2


There will be no generation of toxic substances, due to the proposed mining. So, neither

the mineral nor any waste will require dumping ground for stacking the toxic mineral /

substance.

3 MEASURES TAKEN AND TO BE TAKEN FOR THE CONTROL OF WATER, NOISE AND AIR

POLLUTION

Air Pollution:

Emission of gases and dust takes place due to movement of vehicles. Spraying of water

and plantation along the road side prevents the spread of dust. Plantation also acts as

barrier for restricting pollution. Impact on air environment has been assessed taking in to

consideration the proposed production and increase emissions. The sources of air

pollution are given below:

Operation of mining machinery/ loading operations

Transportation of mineral

Wind erosion from barren area and nearby area

Air pollutants released during production can be checked by:

Dust suppression system/ water spraying would be adopted at mine working and loading

points

Excavation operations to be suspended during very strong wind conditions

Afforestation will be carried out for control of dust

Plantation with wide canopy trees along approach road will help in dust suppression

Persons to be provided with dust mask and other personal protective equipments,

particularly during summer months and dust storm periods

Transportation

Regular water spraying on haulage roads during mineral transportation by water

sprinklers,

Avoid over loading of tippers & consequent spillage on the roads,

Mineral carrying trucks will be effectively covered by tarpaulin to avoid escape of fines to

atmosphere,

Air quality shall be regularly monitored both in the core zone and the buffer zone.

Controlling of NOx level

The source of NOx is due to vehicular emission. This can be controlled by proper

maintenance and servicing of vehicles. Only P.U.C. certificated vehicles will be permitted

ANNEXURE 2


Noise Pollution

There is drilling and blasting for mineral extraction. Noise pollution due to drilling,

blasting & transportation will cause some problem to the inhabitants of this area because

there is human settlement in close proximity to the link roads in lease area. Effective

steps will be taken to keep the noise level well below the DGMS prescribed limit of 85

dBA.

Noise control is achieved by the following:

Proper care and maintenance of the equipments will be carried out.

Personal protective equipments will be provided to the workers.

DETAILS OF HEALTH CHECKUP AND INSURANCE OF ALL THE EMPLOYED PERSONS (FOR

EXISTING LEASE)

All workers will be subjected to medical examination as per Mines Rule 1955 both at

times of appointment and at least once in five years. Medical camps will be organized for

this activity. Insurance of all employees as per the rules will be carried out.

Corporate Social Responsibility

As a corporate responsibility following measures along with budget provision is proposed

for improving the conditions of persons in and around the project area:

Sr. No. Description Amount (in lacs)

Health check up camps

Surveillance programme of the workers

3 Insurance cover of workers

Assistance to local schools, scholarship to students

Fund Provision for Environmental Management

It is proposed to create an Environment Management Fund. The contractor shall

deposit/pay an amount equal to 10% of the due contract money along with instalments

towards the ‘Mines and Minerals Development, Restoration and Rehabilitation fund

This can be managed by imposing a cess @ Rs 5.0/MT on the mineral despatched. A

separate account is proposed to be maintained for this purpose.

be 9mtrs. Each bench will advance one by one. While carrying out the mining operations

in accordance with the above provision the overall pit slope shall be maintained the 70

the mineral bearing rocks being hard and compact.

(F) MINERAL PROCESSING OPERATION:

No mineral processing is envisaged for quartz, feldspar and stone (minor mineral)

produced during the mining activity.

Reasons for closure:

The progressive mine closure plan has been prepared in compliance of Rule 70 (1 ) of

Haryana Minor Mineral Concession Rules 2012 under MMCR 1986. Which is reproduced as

under.

Rule 70. (1) Every mineral concession holder shall prepare a Mining Plan along with the Mine

Closure Plan (Progressive & Final) and shall not commence mining operations in any area except

in accordance with such Mining Plan duly approved by an officer authorized by the Director in

this behalf.

As the mineral is not going to be depleted during the plan period no immediate closure is

planned as sufficient reserves are available to carry on the activities. There is market potential in

domestic demands.

1.2 Statutory Obligations:

The lessee is bound to submit the Progressive mine closure plan either with Mining plan or

Scheme of Mining. Lessee is bound to follow the terms and conditions as will be stipulated in

ECONOMIC REPERCUSSION OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND

MANPOWER RETRENCHMENTS

Lease has been granted for a period of 50 years. As per the production programme

envisaged, at the end of lease period, still sufficient reserves would be left available for

continuing production activities further. Hence, no closure is planned. There will be no

affect on the man power as the persons belong to nearby villages and will have an option

either to be available for employment for the next contract/ lease or do the agriculture in

their fields.

TIME SCHEDULING FOR ABANDONMENT

The lease area has enormous potential for continuance of operations even after the

expiry of the lease period. The details of time schedule of all abandonment will be given

at the time of final closer plan

Economic Importance

Mining will provide employment to the nearby people of the area & will help the

economy of near by villages community.

Plantation Program:-Already explained.

Plantation will be carried out basically with the following aim :

i) Plantation along roads etc., to control the air pollution and improve upon bio-

aesthetic beauty of the place.

ii) Plantation along unexplainable zone to improve the present environment and

ecology.

iii) Landscape - along the areas of utilities and shelters in order to create bio-

aesthetic beauty along with places of human interaction.

9(a) Plantation along Benches:-There is no such proposal at present.

9(b) Plantation Along Mine-Waste Disposal Yard:- Already explained.

9(c) Plantation along the Roads

ANNEXURE 2


The area all along the main approach road will be planed with rows of trees like Neem

(Azadirecta indica), (Albergia sisoo), Babul (Acacia arasica).

Rows of trees will be planted 1 m to 1.5 away from the road sides. Distance between each plant

will vary from 2.0 m to 2.5 m depending upon the local conditions. In the space between the

trees and shrubs will collect any air borne dust generated from plying of the trucks and the

mining activity.

9(d) Plantation along the Drains

Plantation along drains will be done. The most suitable shrub will be Karaunda, Karin, Ber and

Cheonkar.

9(e) Plantation of Un-exploitable Zone

It is planned to plant the trees of Neem, Babul, Dhak, etc. at random, wherever approach and

space for plantation are available.

9(f) Plantation in the Zone of Utilities and Shelters

In the space available along with office complex, shelters, latrines, urinals, first aid room,

magazine etc. It has been proposed to create a bio-aesthic land-scape to beautify the area

where human interaction is to take place. The following flowering species are being suggested

for this purpose.

Trees – Weeping willow, bottle brush, amaltash, kadamb

Shrubs – Habiscus, Durata verigata

Creepers – Bougenvilla, Trumpet creeper, Wisteria

9(g) Plantation Procedure

Before planting of trees, seedlings, saplings, grass species, shrubs, soil preparation, soil

amendments etc., are to be under taken well in advance. For proper survival and healthy

growth of plant species post plantation care is also necessary in planned and scientific manner.

9(h) Preparation of Planting Site

ANNEXURE 2


Before sowing and planting can be commenced in the area, the site will undergo adequate

preparation in order to achieve successful growth of vegetation. Site preparation will consists of

demarcation of the spacing, digging of pits and soil preparation.

In order to organize and monitor afforestation effectively, the area to be taken up for plantation

is to be suitably divided into blocks species planted and year of plantation will be maintained by

monitoring group.

If possible the area to be taken up for plantation shall be effectively burnt prior of plantation

using dry and uprooted vegetation. Alternatively a considerably thick layer (about 25 cm) of dry

grass may be spread and fixed during the months of January and February to cover the area.

This will provide adequate mulch to prevent movement of the debris and consequent erosion

during the rains and promote vegetation growth.

The plantation in the area is being proposed at spacing of 2m to 2.5m pits to made for tree

plantation will normally be of 60 cm x 60 cm x 90 cm size. The soil before spreading on the

benches or filling in the pits will be mixed with leaf compost along with the weedicides and

insecticides.

9(i) Nursery

No provision of nursery is proposed as a number of nurseries including Govt. nursery in the area.

Necessary saplings are proposed to be purchased from tho9se nurseries.

Suitable areas for raising the nursery area available near the mine site itself.

9(j) Sowing & Planting

Sowing and planting will be carried out with utmost care and due consideration to the

species to grown, season of planting and areas to be vegetated.

Well-sprouted cuttings and healthy seedling have to be painted in the months of

February and March or prior to the start of monsoon rains. Sowing of grass and shrub seeds will

also be carried out prior to start of monsoon rains after suitably preparing the beds.

9(k) Post Plantation Care

Post plantation care is most essential for growth of vegetation. These will be :

i) Replacement of causalities at the first opportunity itself.

ii) Weeding - monthly for first two months and later on six monthly.

iii) Irrigation – fortnightly from October to March and afterwards once in 10

days between April & June.

ANNEXURE 2


iv) Soil working, manuring, mulching etc. twice in a year.

v) Protection from grazing etc.

Financial Assurance.

The financial assurance will be required in the form of surety bond.

approch will be taken up in exploitation of mineral with systematic method Thus, resource optimization/ recycling

and reuse are not envisaged in this project

3.8 Availability of Water, its Source, Energy/ Power Requirement and Source

3.8.1 Water Requirement

For Plantation – water requirement is calculated as 3 litre of water is required for watering of plants So the total

water require will be ( 39000 *3 = 1,17,000 litre per day) ~117 KLD

The water requirement for dust suppression during operation phase of mine and along the haul road has been

calculated on the basis of 2 Litre water requires for 1 m2 haul road The total length of haul road for the entry and exit

from mine lease area to mettle road will be around 2000m (within mine lease maximum which will connect to approach

road) Water requirement for dust suppression of (Road length X litre/m2 X width of the road X trip of truck for dust

suppression) (~2000*2*3*2) = 24 KLD

Domestic water requirement for the proposed project has been calculated on the basis of total 121 man power (121

Manpower required as per mining plan will require water @ 45 L/day each = 5445 L/day) which is approximately equals

to 6 KLD

Thus total water requirement will be 147 KLD This water will be supplied from public water source which is

available ~ 1km from mine site

3.8.2 Power

All the activities will be carried out in a mechanized manner The material will be excavated and loaded directly

into, dumpers tractors-trolley etc by the diesel run excavator cum loaders The operation will be done in two shift A

4.5 Regional geology and Local geology

a) Regional geology:

The rocks of Delhi Super group constitute a part of the main Aravalli Range originating from Gujarat in the

southwest to Haryana in the northeast This super group comprises thick pile of meta-sediments having a

cumulative thickness of 6000 m which is divided into an older Alwar Group and younger Ajabgarh Group The Alwar

Group is dominantly arenaceous with argillaceous intercalations while the Ajabgarh Group is dominantly

argillaceous with arenaceous and calcareous components The demarcation between the groups, in the absence of

any unconformity, is based on facies variation, structural discontinuity and litho logical characteristics in the rocks

exposed in the adjacent state of Rajasthan The rocks of both these groups are intruded by acid and basic Intrusive

The rocks of Alwar Group in Haryana are represented by Bayal- Panchnota Formation, after the type locality in Bayal

and Panchnota villages, which is equivalent to Pratapgarh Formation, the youngest formation of Alwar Group in

Rajasthan The rocks belonging to this group are exposed in two sectors in south western and southeastern

Haryana

In the southwestern sector these rocks are exposed as linear NE - SW trending ridges consisting of quartzite

These ridges are exposed in Bayal-Panchnota, Sareli– Tehla- Musnota, Ruppursarai - Narhedi, Sohla, Nimbi,

Rewari, Khodana and Kaliana areas In the southeast, prominent exposures are found around KhoriKhurd,

KhoriKalan and Shikarpur The regional strike varies from N15oE-S15oW to N45oE-S45oW with vertical to

steep dips to the NW or SE The metapelitic rocks exposed in Tosham area are associated with rhyohite and

granite, and are tentatively clubbed under undifferentiated Ajabgarh Group, till further classification The

Intrusives – Quartz vein, pegmatite with Feldspar

Ajabgarh Series –Quartzite

Alluvium Soil is the top soil or top layer and the youngest sedimentary layer in the lease area It is mainly exposed in

the foot hill side of the lease area It is reddish, brown in color Thickness varies from 0 1m to 0 2m

4.8 Environmental Settings (Secondary Sources)

a) Physiography and Drainage:

The lease area consists mostly of low height ridges and shallow valleys Ridges are generally dominated by Quartzite

boulders/feldspar and quartz with patches of alluvium on top The highest RL recorded is 408 mRL and the lowest

RL is 354mRL There are two rivers namely Dohan and Krislmawati which passing through the district Krishnawati

River is originated from the hillocks of Sikar district of Rajasthan and Dohan is originated from the hillocks near

Khetri Both the rivers remained dry except during rainy days Physiographically, the district consists of flat and level

plain interrupted from place to place by clusters of sand dunes, isolated hillocks and rocky ridges A few isolated

rocky ridges elevated sharply from the plain occur in the south central portion ofthe district The lease area does

not have any water body There are dry nalas in which water flows during rains for a short duration only, otherwise

they remain dry for the rest of the months The rain water from these nalas drains either into local Johars or in

agriculture fields

b) Climatic condition& Rainfall: The climate of Mahendragarh district can be classified as tropical steppe; Semi-arid

and hot which is mainly dry with very hot summer and cold winter except during monsoon when moist air of

oceanic origin penetrates into the district There are four seasons in a year The hot weather season starts from

Mid-March to last week of the June followed by the South-west monsoon which lasts upto September The

transition period from September to October forms the post monsoon season The winter season starts late in

November and remains upto first week of March

The normal annual rainfall of the district is 420mm, which is unevenly distributed over the area 23 days The south-

west monsson sets in from last week of June and withdraws in end of septembert, conrtributing about 88% of

annual rainfall July and august are the wettest months Rest 12% rainfall is received during non-monsoon period in

the wake of western disturbances and thunderstorms Generally rainfall in the district increases from southwest to

northeast The mean mininmum and maximum temperature in the area ranges from 5 60C to 410C during January

and May or June respectively

M/s Satish Kumar Garg & Company PETITIONER

VERSUS

State of Haryana and others RESPONDENTS

CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAJBIR SEHRAWAT

Present:- Shri Girish Agnihotri, Senior Advocate with Shri Bhuvan Vats,Advocate for the petitioner.

Ms.Kirti Singh, D.A.G. Haryana.

MAHESH GROVER, J. (Oral)

The petitioner impugns the demand notice dated 31.5.2017

(Annexure P-13) whereby dead rent has been claimed from 29.4.2002 to 9.2.2015

against extraction of major minerals and from 10.2.2015 to 31.5.2017 against

minor minerals.

The petitioner is a partnership firm and was granted mining lease for

an area measuring 79.32 hectares comprised in Khasra Nos.599,600,601,626,627,

628, 648 and 649 in Village Musnota, Tehsil Narnaul, District Mahendergarh for

extraction of quartz, feldspar and barites, all major minerals. This areas was

already subjected to mining since 1977 and the petitioner was given access to these

ANNEXURE-7

C.W.P. No.2682 of 2018 -2-

mines after the lease in favour of the erstwhile operators had either expired or

prematurely terminated.

The lease was granted when the petitioner responded to a notification

dated 25.6.2000 under Rule 59 of the Mineral Concession Rules, 1960 (hereinafter

referred to as the MCR Rules) read with Section 13 of the Mines and Minerals

(Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 (hereinafter referred to as the Act).

The letter of intent dated 16.1.2001 was issued pursuant to which the

petitioner was required to submit a mining plan duly approved by Indian Bureau of

Mines, Ministry of Mines, Government of India within a period of six months

from the issuance of the letter of intent, which was submitted on 1.9.2001. An

official mining lease was sanctioned in favour of the petitioner on 5.4.2002 subject

to the condition that that he would obtain an environmental management plan after

approval from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate, Government of

India.

After completing all the formalities, a mining lease dated 29.4.2002

was executed between the State Government and the petitioner for a period of 20

years. The possession of the leased out area was handed over on 6.6.2002. A No

Objection Certificate was an essentiality for preparing the environmental plan

which would indicate that the leased area did not fall in any of the forest area and

was covered under the general notification under Section 4 of the Punjab Land

Preservation Act, 1900. The petitioner was issued a No Objection Certificate to

this effect on 16.9.2002, the content of which is extracted here below :-

“In this connection it is intimated that the land of Khasra

No.599,600,601 and 626,627,628,648 and 649 in Village

Musnota is not in a forest land. Vide Haryana Government

Notification No.S.O.113/P.A2/1900/S4/3/97 dated 17.11.1997

proposed mining area Musnota village falls in the purview of

ANNEXURE-7

C.W.P. No.2682 of 2018 -3-

Section 4 of Punjab Land Preservations Act. The young crop

of mesquite & Alianthus etc. exists in this area and the density

of the is 0.1 to 0.2 No objection certificate is granted subject

to the following conditions :-

1. The path for transporting the ore will be near the

adjoining forest area.

2. The mining will be done only is areas where the trees

are not growing.

3. Lease-holder will have to get Environment

Management Plan approved from the competent

authority.”

The petitioner then submitted all the supporting documents along

with draft and environmental management plan for approval which remained

pending with the Ministry of Environment, Government of India and during this

pendency, a fresh notification under Section 3 of the Environmental Protection

Act, 1986 was issued on 14.9.2006 mandating environmental clearance for all

mining projects of major minerals having more than 5 hectares area. The

petitioner submitted environmental impact assessment report to the authorities

which was considered by the Expert Appraisal Committee in its meeting dated

21.8.2013 and the petitioner was called upon to obtain a fresh NOC from the

Forest Department and the petitioner accordingly approached the Department to

obtain the same.

It is at this juncture that a somersault was taken by the Forest

Department from its earlier stand to declare the leased land as “Aravali Area” to

deny the N.O.C. Annexure P-4 was passed, the content of which is extracted here

below :-

3 of 9::: Downloaded on - 13-04-2019 11:28:30 :::

ANNEXURE-7

C.W.P. No.2682 of 2018 -4-

“With regards to the subject cited above vide application

referred above (Online SRN No.YM3-UQ-LPXU) it was

written for obtaining No Objection Certificate of the Forest

Department for mining in Khasra No.599,600,601,626,628,

648 and 649 of Village Musnota. In this regard it is stated that

the above Khasra Numbers are included in the list of Aravali

Plantation. Therefore, the No Objection Certificate of the

Forest Department cannot be granted to you for mining. This

is for your kind information.”

It is with this grievance that the petitioner has approached this Court

with reference to the pleadings where he has effectively brought out the fact that

this area of 79.32 hectares has been subjected to mining since 1977 and is not

covered under the Aravali Area or afforestation as claimed by the respondents. A

detailed Chart has been given where this very area was given on lease for mining

over a period of time which is extracted here below :-

The ostensible reason for bringing out these details is to offset the

claim of the State regarding afforestation in the leased area.

It has been argued by Shri Girish Agnihotri, learned senior counsel

for the petitioner that had the leased area been included in the list of Aravali

Plantation, there would be no question of mining till 2007. Our attention has been

drawn to a specific pleading raised in the petition where the petitioner has asserted

unequivocally that the plantation in the area was to be done in 785 hectares,

whereas only 505 hectares of land was subjected to it with the remaining 280

hectares not covered under plantation of trees. For the purpose of reference, para-

16 of the petition is extracted here below as it brings out succinctly the factual

aspect :-

“16. That perusal of the relevant portion of the report referred

to in para 14 above shows that complete khasra numbers have

been mentioned and there is no mention of Min Khasra

Numbers. It seems that plantation took place in some part

Khasra Numbers whereas area of full Khasra Nos. were

mentioned in the report of Inspection Committee referred to

above, as a result of which mistaken mentioning, the area

under plantation swelled to 785 whereas plantation was

actually done in 505 hectares of land. In this way effectively

plantation took place only in 505 hectares and in remaining

5 of 9::: Downloaded on - 13-04-2019 11:28:30 :::

ANNEXURE-7

C.W.P. No.2682 of 2018 -6-

280 hectares no plantation was done and this area of 280

hectares was inclusive of of 79.32 hectares given on mining

lease to the petitioner. This is because of the fact that this area

of 79.32 hectares remained on mining contracts for active

extraction of road metal and masonry stone right from 1977 to

2007 rendering it unfit for plantation. The Aravali Plantation

took place during the period from 1991 to 2000 whereas 79.32

hectares remained on mining contract from 1977 to 2007. In

this way as has been stated in the preceding para no plantation

could have been made in the mining lease hold area of the

petitioner because of the fact it remained on mining contracts

during the period Aravali Plantation was done. The stand of

the petitioner stood vindicated from the above mentioned facts

that the Aravali Plantation took place only in 505 hectares of

land out of the total land of 785 hectares of village Musnota.

In these circumstances, the case of the petitioner that no

plantation was undertaken on 79.32 hectares leased out to the

petitioner stand corroborated from the fact that Aravali

Plantation was undertaken on the 505 hectares of land which

was handed over back to the Gram Panchayat, Musnota after

plantation. the figure of area under plantation increased to 785

hectares because of the reason that area of full khasra numbers

were taken into consideration whereas plantation was done in

part of the khasra numbers because of which the area where

actual plantation was undertaken is 505 hectares.”

It would also be necessary to refer to the corresponding reply to this

6 of 9::: Downloaded on - 13-04-2019 11:28:30 :::

ANNEXURE-7

C.W.P. No.2682 of 2018 -7-

para of the Forest Department which is totally ambiguous and vague rather evasive

in spirit. The assertion made by the petitioner is neither accepted nor denied and

the whole controversy is wished away by saying that the Forest Department never

officially sought nor was handed over the information regarding cumulative area

identified by the Committee under the chairmanship of the Deputy Commissioner,

Mahendergarh nor did it look into the matter as to whether the recommendation

included the whole khasra or min thereof and in the absence of any such

authenticated official information, the area stipulated as 785 hectares is neither

accepted, nor denied. Para-16b of the reply is extracted here below :-

“16. That in reply to para No.16, it is submitted that, as stated

elsewhere in this reply, the plantations in Village Musnota

were done on Panchayat lands after obtaining resolutions from

Village Panchayat which did not include the mention of

specific khasra numbers. Further, in the handing over report

post plantation as well khasra numbers of land handed over by

the Forest Department were not mentioned. It is a matter of

record that a total of 505.67 hectares of plantation were

handed over to village panchayat in 2000 (with overall

survival of 75%) without mentioning the exact numbers of

khasra (Annexure R-5). Further, this department never sought

officially nor was handed over officially the information

regarding the cumulative area identified by the committee

under the chairmanship of the Deputy Commissioner,

Mahendergarh nor did it look into the matter as to whether the

recommendation included the whole khasra or min thereof.

Hence, in want of such authenticated official information, the

cumulative such area stipulated as 785 hectares in this para is

7 of 9::: Downloaded on - 13-04-2019 11:28:30 :::

ANNEXURE-7

C.W.P. No.2682 of 2018 -8-

neither accepted nor denied. About rest of the contents in this

para, the answering respondents have no comments to offer.”

It is thus, a clear case where the facts reveal the area being subjected

to mining since 1977 with no conclusive details of afforestation in the 'leased'

area. A perusal of Annexure P-3 issued by the Deputy Conservator of Forests in

the year 2002 reveals that while describing the details of the leased area by Khasra

Nos., a specific mention has been made about the proposed mining area in Village

Musnota being covered by the provisions of Section 4 of the Punjab Land

Preservation Act and some young crop of trees existing in the area with a density

of 01. to 0.2. After noticing this, N.O.C. was granted to the petitioner subject to

the conditions mentioned therein.

The petitioner has now been asked to pay dead rent for the period

stipulated in the notice which according to us, would be extremely harsh. In the

absence of any available material to obstruct the mining rights of the petitioner by

simply classifying it as 'Aravali Area' without even having any authenticated

official record to identify it as such, annexure P-4 would clearly be sans any

foundation and hence unsustainable. We thus set it aside and consequentially as a

direct corollary the denial of mining rights on this ambiguous ground would also

have to be deprecated. In the reply, it has been brought out specifically that more

than 280 hectares was not subjected to plantation. It was easy for the Forest

Department to identify whether the leased area of 79 hectares formed a part of 280

hectares left out of the afforestation or it was a part of 500 hectares subjected to

afforestation. Without ascertaining this fact, no demand can be raised against the

petitioner who has been denied his mining rights unjustly.

Even before us, as noticed above, reply of the Forest Department is

completely evasive and vague. It may also be noticed that during the course of

hearing, learned counsel for the State on instructions from Shri Neeraj, Mining

Officer, contended that they would have no objection if the dead rent is paid by the

petitioner now to which the petitioner has readily agreed, subject to his mining

rights being made operational. We find this offer to be fair and therefore, accept

the petition and set aside the impugned notice, while also negating Anneuxre P-4,

the foundation for denying mining rights to the petitioner but with a direction that

the petitioner shall pay the dead rent as has been agreed upon by it, but be it shall

be permitted mining in the leased area of 79.32 hectares, governed by the terms of

the lease and other necessary essentials.

Mr. Ankur Mittal, Additional A.G., Haryana.

MAHESH GROVER, J. (Oral)

This writ petition is filed praying for appropriate directions to

be issued to the respondents to allow it to commence mining operation on

the basis of draft Environment Impact Assessment Report essential for the

environment clearance under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and

Climate change. Although directions were sought to the respondents which

was disclosed by the State of Haryana in para 6 of the reply as under:-

That the mining project of petitioner firm for seeking EC

is having lease area of 79.32 hectares for mining of Quartz, Feldspar,

and stone and same is situated within 5 km of the inter-state boundaries

of the State of Haryana and Rajasthan. Therefore, falls under category

“A” project. Hence, they are required to seek environmental clearance

from the MoEF&CC, Gol and not from SEIAA.

Evidently the needful has to be done by the Union of India for

which the petitioner has also taken steps by approaching it on 10.01.2019.

CWP No.4450 of 2019 :2:

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that he would be

satisfied if this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Union of

India-Ministry of Enviornment and Forest to consider the case set up in the

instant petition and take a decision thereon for granting him the

environmental clearance essential for commencing the operation of mines.

At this stage, we notice that Union of India is not a party

before us. On the oral request of the petitioner, we permit Union of India

to be impleaded as a party. Mr. Chetan Mittal, Assistant Solicitor General

assisted by Mr. Varun Issar who is present in the Court accepts notice.

Having regard to the limited prayer made, seeking direction to

the Ministry of Environment and Forest to consider the grant of

environment clearance to the petitioner, we deem it appropriate to direct

the Union of India-Ministry of Environment and Forest to decide the

matter at hand, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of

six weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order.

Petition is disposed of.
