(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and region

With the growing use of Granite as decorative stone the mining of Granite

has received boom in last few years. There is good market for Granite in

India and abroad also. In overseas market Granite is also exported in the

form of blocks which are used as pillars in large buildings beside decorative

slabs.

The increasing mining of mineral Granite has uplifted the economy of

Granite producing localities which has resulted into upliftment of life

standard of the people in the adjoining area, besides contributing to the

exchequer of the State and Central Government.

(iv) Demand and Supply Gap

As mentioned above, the use of Granite as decorative stone is growing

constantly. Hence, despite of constantly increasing production of Granite the

whole production is consumed in the market and at present supply of Granite

is sufficient to fulfill the market demands.

(v) Imports v/s Indigenous Production

As the mineral in abundance is available indigenously so the import of the

same is not required nor economically feasible.

(vi) Export possibility

A sizeable quantity of Granite produced in the State of Rajasthan and in other

parts of the country is exported to Middle East and European Country.

(vii) Domestic/Exports Markets

There is vast domestic and export market for raw and polished Granite.

(viii) Employment generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project

By this mining project of Granite in the area, peoples will get employment.

The project directly generates the employment for the local people and

indirectly for the others. Also the marketing of the product generates the

employment for peoples. By this project, approximately 30 persons will get

direct and about 115 persons will get indirect employment.

3.0 Project Description

(i) Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any.

This is a Granite mining project. No other project is interlinked with this

mining work.



(ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project Boundary & project site layout) with coordinates.

Location map of the study area is as under

Fig. 1.1 Location map of Lease Area

The area has been marked on Toposheet No. 45C/14 including the mining lease

location. This comprises the mining location of near village Valdara falling in Tehsil

–Ahore, District – Jalore of Rajasthan state.

(iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted.

No other site has been considered for the proposed project. The land has been

allocated by government for the mining only. Site is adequate for Granite

mining.

(iv) Size and Magnitude of Operation

The proposed capacity of the project is as: The total amount of Granite is

5,85,000 MT under proved category reserves, 2,92,500 MT under probable

category reserves & 2,92,500 MT under possible category reserves. Total

reserves = 11,70,000 MT. Total area of mining lease is 3.0 Ha. Proposed

maximum annual targeted production of Granite from the mine will be 8658

MTPA.

(v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given)

A. Method of Mining

The mining will be semi-mechanized and the mechanization will be the

drilling of the holes through compressed air operated jackhammer. For

the systematic working of open cast mines, working will be done by

forming two benches , one bench of 2.0m height for weathered granite &

topsoil and second bench of 5.0m height for Granite. The height of

bench will not be kept more than 5m at a time and the width will be

always more than the height. The proposals of mining for the next five

year workings are given at 100m RL to 93m RL advancing towards the

northeast direction.

Following machineries will be used for mining of Granite:

area is having granite rock. No other lithounits are present in the area.

D. Yearwise annual production of Granite for next five years

Total 39827

E. Mineable Reserves and Anticipated Life of the Mine

Mineable granite reserve (Proved & Probable)= 526500 MT

Maximum targeted rate of production= 8658 MT

Life of mine= 526500/8658= 60.81 years or says 61 years

Life may vary as per actual production obtained.

F. Conceptual Mining Plan

At the end of the life of mine 526500 tone of granite mineral will be

excavated from the lease area. At the end of the fifth year 37530 cum of

rock will be excavated while 39827 tone of marketable granite will be

excaxavted. During this phase size of pit will be 80.00 x 75.00 sqm. At

the end of the life some area will be backfilled and remaining area will

be used as water reservoir..



G. Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final products/s, Mode of transport of raw Material and Finished Product.

About 5.0 KLD water will be required for Granite mining, Water will be

sourced from PHED supply in nearby village Valdara through tankers.

About 500 liter diesel will be required daily for JCB & Trucks/Dumpers

which will be arranged from nearby petrol pumps. Granite mined out

will be transported through trucks & trolley.

H. Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined. Water will be accumulated in the excavated mine out pit area during

rains and pits serve as a natural ground water recharge structure. As a

result of extraction of mineral, the rate of charging of ground water is

likely to be increased considerably. Water collected in the sump will be

used in various purposes at mine viz. plantation, dust suppression etc.

I. Availability of water its source, Energy/power requirement and source should be given. Total water requirement in the mine will be about 5.0 KLD for drinking &

domestic use, dust suppression and plantation. Drinking water will be

brought by water tanker from nearby villages. Diesel will be used in

compressor, JCB and dumpers and tractors. About 500 liter per day is

assumed to be consumed. Diesel will be outsourced from nearby diesel

pumps. Nearby villages is well electrified.

(ix) Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their management/disposal

Topsoil present in the area, which will be used for plantation in the area.

The waste rock obtained will be the granite rock piece which does not have

any market. These are obtained while sizing of the rock, and also at the time of

blasting. The waste generation will be 3732 cum, 4620 cum, 4620 cum, 4620

cum and 4620 cum from I to V year respectively.

The 60% of the total mined out rock is only marketable. The remaining rock is

stacked as waste. The waste dump will be stacked in 400 sqm area per year

and height of dump shall be varies from 10 to 12m. All safety measures will



be taken to stabilize waste dumps. Retaining wall will be made at the bottom

of the dump when it will be required.

Total water requirement of 5.0 KLD will be met from nearby villages.

(vii). Sewerage System

No sewerage shall be generated from the project area.

(viii). Industrial Waste Management

No Industrial waste will be generated from the project.

(ix). Solid waste Management

Topsoil present in the area, which will be used for plantation in the area.

The waste rock obtained will be the granite rock piece which does not have

any market. These are obtained while sizing of the rock, and also at the time of



blasting. The waste generation will be 3732 cum, 4620 cum, 4620 cum, 4620

cum and 4620 cum from I to V year respectively.

The 60% of the total mined out rock is only marketable. The remaining rock is

stacked as waste. The waste dump will be stacked in 400 sqm area per year

and height of dump shall be varies from 10 to 12m.

All safety measures will be taken to stabilize waste dumps. Retaining wall will

be made at the bottom of the dump when it will be required..

Land Tax/surface rent, Sales Tax/VAT; Income Tax etc. will be addition.



9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATION)

CONCLUSION

The project of Granite mining of Shri Jawari Lal S/o Shri. Misa Ram Ji at near

village Valdara Tehsil–Ahore, District–Jalore, Rajasthan is of utmost

importance to the area for interest of mineral development and improves the
