Location Address At Village : Bhopalka, Ta : Kalyanpur, Dist : Devbhumi Dwarka. 3. Lease Area Ha. (Hectares) 4. Ownership of Land It is Govt.waste land. (Govt./ Private Land) 5. Status of Operation It is an existing project. (New project OR Existing project operating since) 6. Status of Lease (Lease no., date of issue, lease period, date of application for lease renewal, etc.) 7. Name of mineral to mine 8. Mineral Reserve (MT) It is an existing project & applied for the Renewal and also for the Ec. Black Trap mineral is to be mined out. As per the area survey and exploratory bores the depth of black trap mineral is an average of about 30 mtr. By considering the above depth of mineral the calculation of mineral reserve can be as under Area(M 2 ) x Depth(M) x Specific Gravity of Black Trap M 2 x 20 M. x 2.9 = MT (MT/Month) 9.

Present land use of lease area km Lease area is government waste land for mining purpose. At present there is no land use. Mining activities will be start after getting renewal and Ec. 15. Geo-hydrological features: Geohydrology :- Jamnagar district extends from North 21º40' latitude to 22º57' latitude and68º 57 ' to 70º 37' Eastern longitude. Its coastline is 355km long. The total area of the district is 14,125sq km. The district has Ten Talukas consisting of 694 villages and 17 urban towns. As per the 2001 census total urban population is 7.32 lakh souls. Average rainfall of last decade is 555 mm.

4 Geologically 80% of Jamnagar district is covered by Basalt rock formation (Deccan Trap) which is found in JamnagarKalavad, Dhrol, Lalpur, JamjodhpurBhanvad, Jamkhambaliya, Jodia and Kalyanpur talukas, whereas rest part of Jamnagar district it is overlained by Laterite, Bauxite, Gaj beds, Dwarka beds, and Miliolitic limestone and alluvium along the coastal line. In Basalt formation the ground water occurs in unconfined to semiconfined and confined deep aquifers. The ground water is confined to secondary porosity and permeability such as weathered basalt, joints, fractures, fissures, dykes etc. In this district the bore wells are drilled generally 30 to 500 meterdeep.in Okha Mandal taluka, bore wells are drilled by D.R. rig. In parts of Kalyanpur and Okha Mandal taluka, there is inherent salinity, except in few pockets where potable ground water is found. In this area thirty meter to sixty-meter deep D.R. tube wells are constructed. 4

Fauna Species: Dev Chakli, Patarango, Holo None species of rare and endangered were observed in the study area. (opinion to nr.by villegers) There is 0.50 km. long & width of 4 mtr Kutcha road to reach at the project side from Pukka Road. 18. Width and condition of access road (kutcha/pucca) to the lease area. DETAILS OF MINING / EXCAVATION ACTIVITIES 19. Requirement of power supply and its source 20. Requirement of water supply and its source 21. Type of mining (Manual / Semi-mechanized / Mechanised). 22. Equipments to be used (bulldozers, hydraulic excavators, JCB, scrapers, loaders, etc.) 23. Details of method of working with phasing of Existing Project is of Open cast Mining Project of Black trap Mineral, There is no requirement of Electricity. Village near by Bhopalka is Electrified. To suppress dust and to develop green belt and for domestic purpose 3.00 KLD. water is required and the source of supply is gram panchayat Bhopalka. It is open cast 5 Manual mining project. Only manual mining work is in process. It will be provide in the Approved mining plan.

6 activities (sequence of mining operations) 24. Explosives, detonators to be used 25. Details of drilling, blasting The excavation of mineral is proposed by drilling and blasting. Black trap mineral is hard so the process start after drilling and blasting as and when required. Slurry Explosive, Black trap Plain Detonator, Safety Fuses are to be used. Drilling: About 15 to 25 holes per blast of 32 mm diameter and to a depth of 1.5 m will be adopted. Number of blasts per week depends upon the workable area and production to be achieved. The spacing 1.0 m and 0.8 m burden pattern will be adopted. About 170 gram booster and 640 gram of column charge (A.N.F.O.- Ammonium nitrate-fuel oil. A mixture used extensively as a blasting agent in mining and quarrying. The proportions are approximately 94% ammonium nitrate and 6% fuel-oil.) per hole of explosive will be used. Powder factor of 4.0 Tones / Kg. is expected. If required NONEL blasting will be used. ( Nonel is a shock tube detonator designed to initiate explosions, generally for the purpose of demolition of buildings and for use in the blasting of rock in mines and quarries. Instead of electric wires, a hollow plastic tube delivers the firing impulse to the detonator, making it immune to most of the hazards associated with stray electrical curr) Blasting: The controlled blasting is proposed by adopting all the safety measures as per "MMR 1961" and with the permission of DGMS ( Directorate General of Mines Safety (India). In this area for fragmentation of black trap the small blasting will be conducted. Multiple blast holes of 1.5 m depth will be drilled 6

Height and width of benches and side slope with the help of 32 mm drill rod, jack Hammer and Air Compressor of 75 cfm capacity. It is estimated about 0.81 kg of explosives per hole is required. About holes per blasting are proposed. Therefore, the requirement of explosives will be about to 20.0 kg/blasting. Blasting in the open cast pit will be done only during day time at designated hours. The explosives Will be supplied and blasting Will be conducted by the authorized contactor at the blasting site at the time of blasting. Only safety explosive container with explosive license Will be used for safe & secure transportation of explosive. The explosive Will be directly used so no storage of explosive is proposed. During handling all care should be taken that no inflammable elements Will be there. Efficient Siren should be blown prior to the blasting & clearance of blasting. Guards will be posted on all roads and paths at least 300 m distance to stop entrance to the danger zone during blasting hour. Controlled blasting will be practiced to control vibrations and flying fragments. As per the Section map the depth of over burden is average of 1.50 Mt.. The total tonnage of over burden can be count as under M 2 x 1.5 M x 1.39 = M.T. It will be removed by manual working and will be stacked in margin area to develop green belt & Refilling the pit area. It will provide in Approved mining plan. 7

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGAMENT PLAN The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainable development in the area of the proposed project. hence it needs to be all encompassive plan for which the industry, Government, Regulating agencies like Pollution Control Board working in the region and more importantly the population of the area need to extend their cooperation and contribution. It has been evaluated that the project area will not be affected significantly with proposed project. Mitigation measures at the source level and an overall Management Plan at the site level are elicited so as to improve the surrounding environment. The following mitigation measures are recommended in order to synchronize the economic development of the project area with the environmental protection of the region. The construction phase impacts are mostly short term restricted to the plot area and not envisaged on the 8

9 larger scale. In the operational phase the environmental impacts are due to continuous operation of the project, hence, the emphasis in the Environment Management Plan (EMP) is to minimize such impacts. The emphasis on the EMP development is on the following. * Mitigation measures for each of the activities causing the environmental impact. * Monitoring plans for checking activities and environmental parameters and monitoring responsibilities * Role responsibilities and resource allocation for monitoring. Following sections describes the environment management plan proposed for site clearing and mining phases. MITIGATION MEASURES: Each of the activities during production phase is critically reviewed for suggestion of mitigation measures. Based on this the Table 1 to 6 gives the mitigation measures for the activities considered to be causing significant environmental impacts during production phase.
