5 2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT /BACKGROUND INFORMATION A. Identification of the project and project proponent. Name of Project:- Bauxite Mine area Ha. Near- Village- Dakor, Tehsil - Thasra, and Dist-Kheda. The ultimate proposed rate of production is 50,000 Tonnes per annum of Bauxite. The mining lease area is Hectares which is Non Forest Area. There is no National Park/ Sanctuary and National Monument within 10 KM radius of the ML area. Category of Project: Category B The project Proponent is the Private Individual. Address of the Project Proponent Janak Kumar Kanti Lal Sadhu R/o- 2531, Alkapuri Society, Opp. Pranami Temple, Post- Dakor, District- Kheda (Guj.) B. Brief Description of Nature of Project. The project is for the environment clearance for production of 50,000 TPA of Bauxite. The expected life of the mine is around 6 years. Proposed method of Mining is being carried out by semi mechanized opencast method by forming benches of mts height in mineral bearing rock. There is no overburden in the area except alluvium. It is proposed to carry out the work of excavation without drilling and blasting. Water requirement for the proposed project for domestic use, dust suppression and plantation, will be KLD. C. Need for the Project & Importance to the Country The mining project falls in the Thasra Tehsil and Kheda district of Gujrat, and the area is devoid of industrial growth. The bauxite produced in the mining lease is of low grade category and is used in the manufacturing of cement & abrasive grains it is sold to local traders. The mineral to be mined out from the Bauxite Mine shall be for to sale in open market for industrial use. There is no proposal of export of mineral. The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are dependent on agriculture. This mining project will bestow various increased social & economic benefits to the local communities and improvements in physical and social infrastructure of the area, apart from increased financial benefits incurring to state govt. by way of taxes royalties & cess etc.

6 D. Demand and supply gap The demand for Bauxite has been steadily increasing over the years. It is extensively used in the manufacturing of cement & abrasive grains. However, the present supply of these minerals is insufficient to meet with it existing and growing demand of the product, the prospectus of industries is very good. E. Export Possibility Since the produced mineral will be sufficiently absorbed in the local market it will not be exported. F. Domestic/Export Markets The mine is meant for domestic market use only thus, there is no requirement of selling of the mineral in export markets. G. Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project In operational phase, the proposed project would require significant workforce of non technical and technical persons. The proposed mining activity will provide employment to about 21 workers. The workers will be hired mostly from the nearby villages. The management and supervisory staff will include the Mines Manager -2, Mining Mate-1, Geologist- 1, Mine Foreman- 1. Beside these the skilled labors will include Operators & Skilled Labors 2, Semi Skilled- 2 & unskilled labors 12 will be employed. About 21 staff members including labours employed directly. Thus total around person will get employment including direct employment and satellite occupation i.e. the labours, shop keepers, drivers, operators etc. 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Type of Project including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects, if any There is no interlinked or interdependent project of this mine. No other allied activities i.e. washing of minerals, beneficiation etc. will be carried out with this project. B.

9 C. Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental consideration gone into should be highlighted. As the project is mineral specific and the lease was sanctioned for excavating the mineral Bauxite at the specific location near Village Dakor, thus no alternate site was considered. D. Size and Magnitude of Operation The area is hectare and it is proposed to produce mineral Bauxite at ultimate capacity 50,000 TPA using the open cast Semi Mechanized mining methods. E. Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given) The Project is for mineral Bauxite and the lease area comprises of hectares and land is Government Waste land. For the systematic working of opencast mine benching will be done. There is no overburden in the area except alluvium. Mining in general will be carried out with the help of JCB/ excavator. It is proposed to carry out the work of excavation without drilling and blasting. Proposed rate of production will be 50,000 TPA for mineral bauxite. Ultimate pit slope is proposed to be 45 from vertical. Bauxite is soft in nature. Two pits are present in the lease area. Bauxite is exposed in all the pits. Presently the exploitation of bauxite is being carried out from pits in western and eastern hill area and also in central part. Mining of bauxite is being done by using hand tools. Bauxite material is sorted manually and loaded unto 10 tonnes capacity short trucks. The mineral bauxite is basically soft and easily extractable by hand tools. There is no overburden to be generated afresh during the next five years, so no disposal of waste is required. But alluvium will be generated and provision has been kept for stacking alluvium temporarily. The alluvium dump shall be for initial three years. Backfilling is proposed to be started by first year and by the end of fifth year ( ) the entire dumped alluvium is proposed to be backfilled. The height of the dump is proposed 1.0m to 2.5m maximum upto first three years. As such no retaining wall is required. Sixth year onwards, concurrent backfilling shall be performed. At end of the life of mine, out of total 2.10 hectares excavated area, in which about 0.50 hectares area will be backfilled from O.B excavated & topsoil, if any shall be spread over it. An area of about 1.60 hectare will be left as for accumulation of rainwater, which will charge the water table of the area and water collected in this reservoir will be utilized for the agriculture purpose.
