1 PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT 1. Introduction 1. Identification of project and project proponent The Pahanbarri Sand Quarry area is located in the Tawa River at Village- Pahanbarri, Tehsil- Itarsi & District- Hoshangabad (M.P.). The ha quarry area with production Capacity of cubic meter per year shall be operated by the lessee Gram Panchayat Pahanbarri having Office at Gram Panchayat Bhawan Pahanbaari, Tehsil-Itarsi and District-Hoshangabad M.P.) Quarry area will be sanctioned by Collector, Hoshangabad for five years period. 2. Brief description & nature of the project Sand Mining will be carried out by semi mechanized method with the help of local labours, open cast method adopting a system of shallow pit in sand. Only very light loading machines will be used for sand loading purpose only. The depth of working will be restricted to 1.2m Blasting and drilling is not required for sand mining. 3. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region Sand has become a very important mineral for our society due to its many uses. It can be used for making concrete, filling roads, building sites, brick-making, making glass, sandpapers, reclamations, and etc. The role of sand is very vital with regards to the protection of the coastal environment. It acts as a buffer against strong tidal waves and storm surges by reducing their impacts as they reach the shoreline. Sand is also a habitat for crustacean species and other related marine organisms. Sand also plays an important role in our tourism industry as it is an integral part of our beach attractions. Each has its own requirements in respect of the quality of the sand. This sand is taken from what are essentially non-renewable resources. 4. Demand Supply gap Sand is easily available in country. 5. Imports vs. Indigenous production No import has been proposed for the sand as state as well as country has enough reserve. 6. Export possibility No export will be proposed 7. Employment generation (direct and indirect) due to the project During mining operation about 100 labors i.e. un-skilled will be required. Indirect employment - Driver, cleaner for loader & dumper/tractor loading and unloading points where labors are required.

2 2. Project description 1. Types of project: Sand was deposited in the river. 2. Location of the Project District/State Tehsil Village Khasara Area in ha Ownership of land No. Hoshangabad (M.P.) Itarsi Pahanbarri 1/ ha Tawa River bed 3. Details of alternate site: Mining is a site specific project and mineral deposit has been identified by certifying agency; hence alternative site is not applicable. 4. Size or magnitude of operation: The total quarry area is ha area and total production is proposed m3 per year through Semi mechanized Method. 5. Project description with process details: Sand Mining will be carried out by semi mechanized method with the help of local labours, open cast method adopting a system of shallow pit in sand. Only very light loading machines will be used for sand loading purpose only. The depth of working will be restricted to 1.2 m Blasting and drilling is not required for sand mining. No bench can be maintained in river sand hence bench wise mining cannot be proposed. The mineral sand is exposed all along the applied area, so there is no need of further exploration in this area. Reclamation/Backfilling: - During the rain, sand is deposit by natural way. 6 Raw Material Requirement: No raw material is required for the mining of sand. 7 Recycling and Reuse No sub grades mineral will be generated. Electric System Usage of Power will not be required for any phase of mining. 4 Solid waste management: No waste material will be generated hence waste disposal arrangements are not required. 5 Site analysis i. Connectivity: the applied area is located about 19 km district HQ hoshangabad. the nearest railway station is Gurra. The applied area is well connected with kachha road ii. Land form, land use & land ownership: Land use of the area is Govt. land. District/State Tehsil Village Khasara Area in ha Ownership of land no. Hoshangabad (M.P.) Itarsi Pahanbarri 1/ ha Tawa River bed 2

3 iii. Topography :- The area notified for sand removal is falls in the bed of Tawa River. Tawa River is Perennial River. The area is about 2.5 km North east of Pahanbarri Village. The Maximum Elevation is about 310 m and Minimum 306m from MSL. The general ground slope is towards north direction. The area is almost flat, with scanty vegetation. The climate is sub-tropical with hot summer. iv. Geology: The applied area forms a part of stream bed covered with bajari and sand deposit of channel alluvium. Mining will be concentrated up to 1.2m maximum depth of extraction sand which is confined on top most layer of sand concern QL area is belong to recent alluvial deposit. Basic rock below sand is dolomite rock. v. Existing land use pattern: Existing land use pattern of the mining lease area is river bed. Details of nearest environmental setting in the Study Area S. No. Particulars Details 1 Latitude 22 40'32.66" to 22 40'51.23" N 2 Longitude 77 53'44.95" to 77 54'5.66" E 3 Height above mean sea mrl level 4 Nearest City Hoshangabad km 5 Nearest Railway Station Gurra RS 5.85 km 6 Nearest Airport/Airstrip Bhopal km 7 Nearest Highway NH km 8 Nearest Village Pahanbarri km SW 9 Hills/Valleys None within 10km radius 10 Ecological Sensitive Zone No national parks and sanctuary 12 Historical Place None within 10km radius 13 Nearest River/ Nalla Tawa left Bank Canal km vi. Existing infrastructure: No infrastructure was existing within quarry area. vii. Social infrastructure available: Planning brief a. Planning concept: It is a Sand mining project. b. Population projection: The project is small in magnitude. No influx of population is expected as labor shall be deployed from the local villages. 3

4 c. Land use planning (breakup along with green belt etc.) Items Existing At the end of quarry period Total Mineable area ha - Ultimate depth of mining Nil 1.2 m Ultimate pit slope Nil Nil Area under dumps Nil Nil Area under pits Nil 18.0 ha Area to be reclaimed Nil Nil Infrastructure & Road Nil ha Mineral storage Nil Nil Plantation Nil 1.00 ha d. Assessment of infrastructure demand (physical and social) No machinery will be required for mining activities. Only worker will be required for mining of sand. e. Amenities/facilities: As such no facilities will be required. 6 Proposed infrastructure a. Industrial area (processing area): The project is Sand mining project. b. Residential area (non processing area): No residential area is proposed for the subject project. c. Drinking water management (source & supply of water): Drinking water is available in dug well and tube-well in village Pahanbarri, which is near the area. d. Sewerage system: No construction or sewage waste is expected from the mining process. e. Industrial waste management: No industrial waste will be generated. f. Solid waste management: As such no solid waste will be generated from excavation of sand mining. g. Power requirement & supply/source: Usage of Power will not be required for any phase of sand mining. 7 Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R) Plan: No R&R plan is required as no displacement of people is proposed for the mining project. 8 Project Schedule and Cost estimates a. Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (time schedule for the project to be given) The subject mining project will be proposed and it will be start after obtaining of environmental clearance & consent to operate. 4

5 b. Estimated project cost along with analysis in terms of economic viability of the project. Small level mining activity has been carried out. 9 Analysis of proposal (final recommendations) i. Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people including tribal population, if any, in the area. The mining project will create local employment to the villagers and they will probably get employment. 10. Details of budgetary arrangement for Environment Management Total Rs /- will be utilized annually for environment management like Plantation, water sprinkling on transport road, water sprinkling on stock yard etc. 5
