INTRODUCTIONBricks are produced in India in small or cottage scale brick kilns and Clamps, operates seasonally.The raw materials in the brick kilns include topsoil, coal, paddy husk, fly ash, wood & locallyavailable agro wastes to some extent. There are large variations in quality of soils available indifferent parts of the country and also in brick manufacturing process. Brick are good buildingmaterial for construction activities.It is one of the primary building materials known to mankind. Over time, bricks have appeared,gained prominence, lost importance and then come to the forefront again with various styles ofarchitecture. Burnt bricks were used in ancient Indian, Babylon, Egypt and Roman civilizations. Withthe increase of urbanization the demand for Bricks is growing in infrastructure sector in our country.Individual and private companies are increasingly demanding Brick for construction purposes andthis has immense pressure on brick clay resources.

Sangam and is visited by thousands of Hindu pilgrims every year. Allahabad is among the largestcities of Uttar Pradesh in terms of population and area. The geographical area of Allahabad is about62 sq km (under Municipal Corporation). Its spatial extension falls at 25° 28’ N latitude and 81°54’ Elongitude. The district of Allahabad is surrounded by the Pratapgarh districts in the North, districtJaunpur in the Northeast, Sant Ravidas Nagar and Mirjapur in the east, Kaushambi and Chitrakoot inthe west and the state of Madhya Pradesh in the South.Allahabad has its own domestic airport, Bambruali, which is located 14 km from the city. Apart fromIndian Airlines, few private airlines also provide flight services to and from Allahabad. However,nearby cities, i.e. Varanasi (147 km) and Lucknow (210 km) also have airports. Allahabad is wellconnected by a network of trains to almost all major destinations throughout the country i.e. Kolkata,Delhi, Patna, Guwahati, Chennai, Mumbai, Gwalior, Meerut, Lucknow, Kanpur and Varanasi.Allahabad is located on National Highways 2 and 27. The government and private bus services areavailable to and from Allahabad to all nearby major destinations.3.2 GEOLOGY

Regional Geology:The Ganga basin has been dominated by transvers river system since Pliocene due to erosion duringuplift that is symmetric subsidence of foreland. Large plio-Pleistocene sediment combines with lessasymmetric subsidence and uplift of the proximal fore land let to the pro gradation of the drainagesystem that displaced the Yamuna River and after Allahabad Ganga River to edge of the forelandbasin. The Present river system consistent with erosion driven uplift adjacent Himalayan. Theregional geological setup is very well depicted in the map below;

Mined out land:The mining has been proposed in already degraded land. Mining faces will advance from middle of thearea towards north-east & south- west directions. The height and width of benches will be kept 1.0 m to1.0 m, slope of mining faces will be kept 70 deg. and the overall slope of the pit will be kept 45 deg. Nowaste shall be generated, as all the ROM will be used as for brick making. Hence the reclamation will bedone only on mature benches by planting local species after the bench reaches to its maturity.Top Soil Management:Top soil exists within the area therefore its Preserved on bundwall and use in reclamation propose.Safety and Security:Each worker shall be provided with helmets & safety shoes.Safety belt shall be provided to workers on working the top benches.Hanging of loose boulders shall be removed from mine faces.The mining area shall be properly fenced to avoid any inadvertent entry in to mining pit.Working hours shall be displaced at conspicuous places.
