4. Project Description with Process Details (a Schematic Diagram / Flow Chart Showing the

Project Layout, Components of the Project etc. should be given)

4.1 Method of Mining: Lime stone in the Mine area is to be excavated by conventional

method of opencast mining through the formation of safe benches which will be semi-

mechanized and on single shift basis. Benches are to be formed and worked in a top

to downward manner. Because of presence of hard rock mass, drilling for blasting is

to be performed for loosening of the rock mass. The rock will be mostly excavated

and broken by hydraulic excavators and rock breakers respectively.

4.2 Bench Geometry: Height/Width of the Mine benches are kept at 6m x 6m. The

individual bench faces are kept nearly 85 degree at to the horizontal. Whereas the

overall Mine slope angle (the angle between the line joining the toe of bottom bench

and the crest of the top bench with the horizontal) is maintained at around 45 degree

with the horizontal.

4.3 Time Schedule: Total working days are 300 days in a year. Number of shift per day is

01 (One). The working hour in a shift is 8.00 hours.

4.4 Production Planning: The maximum production of Lime stone from this Mine is

1,06,930 MT per annum maximum.

4.5 Extent of Mechanization: It is a semi-mechanised mine, loading will be done hydraulic

excavators and transport will be done by trucks/tippers. Hydraulic breakers for stone

breaking. Drilling will be done for blasting the stone out of the strata.

Manual/pneumatic hammering for stone breaking will also be done.

4.6 Transportation: Lime Stone extracted from the Mine will be transported by 9 to 15

MT capacity trucks/dumpers. During transportation overfilling of trucks and

consequent spillage of materials on the roads will be avoided by covering tarpaulin in

the loaded trucks.

Planning Brief

1. Planning Concept (type of industries, facilities, transportation etc.) Town and Country Planning

/ Development Authority Classification

The said proposal is a Lime Stone Mine industry. The Lessee does not have any plan for

construction of town ship for its employees. Mostly local villagers are to be employed. They will

be commuting from local areas. Public and self-transport facilities are used for commuting from

their residence to the Mine site.

2. Population Projection

There is no human settlement in the Mine area. People of the buffer zone are mostly engaged in

business and agriculture. Presently the local population constitutes a significant fraction of the

direct employment. Over the years such people have been trained in various vocations and they

form a part of the semi-skilled and skilled employees. After the mine closure, such population is

likely to engage themselves either in other neighbouring mines or may take up entrepreneurship

in their own profession, such as motor garage, workshops, general & electrical repairs etc.

3. Land Use Planning (break up along with greenbelt etc.)

Area for built up structures, green belt etc. will be same as per scheme suggested in the approved

mine plan for existing mine. Land use planning for proposed expansion project will be followed as

per approved mine plan.

Watering and maturing will be done periodically as per requirement.

(1) Post plantation care such as soil working, pruning etc. will be done.

(2) Casual replacement will be done.

Page 14
 Smt. Preciously Bareh’s Limestone Mine
Pre-Feasibilty Report

(3) Insecticides will be spread for pest control.

(4) Proper watch and ward will be there to save the trees from cattle and fire.

4. Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (Physical & Social)

The office of the Mine operation and rest centre for workers will be newly constructed outside

the Mine area.

Lithology:

The lime stone is exposed in the whole lease area.

lease area.

Structure
I

The lime stone has strike almost north- south and dip seems vertical in absence
(
of workings.
No fault, fold and geological disturbances are observed in the area.

(
 8
Nature Of Mineralization:
The lime stone of this area belongs to Shella Formation of iaintia Group of
Eocene age. The soil not observed. lt comes across in small patches.

Effect Of Weathering
The cracks and joints at surface are due to weathering effect.

Nature of Wall Rocks

No wall rock is exposed in the area.

Geological Sections
The Geological sections are prepared at 60 meter interval'
Recovery
Recovery of the Lime Stone seems 9O%in this deposit. Rest 10% is lower grade,
intrusive and can be used as low grade or as other purpose. The recovery may
increase or decrease as per the availability of lime stone compactness'

Physical and Chemical Characteristics

Physically the lime stone is of light grayish in colour. As the rock is hard and
compact the bulk density is 2.5 tons per cu. Meter of rock'

d) Name of Prospecting Agency

It will be a fresh mining lease for lime stone. Previously it was mapped by
Geological Survey of India. The maximum area will be exposed by proposed
mining, thus proposed prospecting will not be required.

e) Details of Prospecting/ Exploration Already Carried Out:

It is a fresh area. Old workings are observed in the applied lease area. The
workings are shown non-Surface Geological Plan with spot levels'

f) Surface Cum Surface Geological Plan is Provided as Plat-4.

s) Surface Geological Plan is Provided as Plate-A.

h) Geologicalsections are Provided on Plate-4.

Future Program of Exploration:

The prospecting is not required as maximum area
mining of next five years,
 9
Method of Estimation of Reserves:
Reserves and Resources as per recent survey in July, 2020
The reserves are estimated by following formula:
Volume of mineral =Area of section X Sectional influence length
Mineral in tons = Volume of mineral x Recovery percentage x Bulk
density 2.5 tons per cu. Metre),
The reserves are computed for proved, probable and possible categories.
The details are as follows:
The sections are prepared at 50 meters interval,

Proved catepory:
The mineral is exposed up to 686mRL in the lease area and mineral is
continuing in sides and depth of the area. The mineral is also exposed
surrounding the lease area (eastern side and northern side). Considering
these aspects, the proved category reserves are computed up to 575mRL.
The whole lease area is considered for reserves. The limits are provided on
section and on plan.
Probable category:

(
The mineral is exposed in the area and in pit and is continuing in depth and in
( sides. Thus considering the continuity in depth the probable category
reserves are computed for 20 metres thickness as per the continuity of
( minerals in depth. Thus probable category reserves are computed between
675mRL and 655mRL. The other limits are considered same as considered for
(
proved category.
Possible categorv:

Considering the possibility of continuing the deposit beyond the probable

category limit in depth the possible category reserves are considered for 10
meters in depth vertically beyond the probable category reserves limit.
Considering these aspects the possible category reserves are computed
between 655mRL and 645mRL. The other limits are considered same as
considered for proved category reserves..

5. MINING

a) Briefly describe the existing and proposed method for excavation:

Existing Mining:
It is a fresh mining lease and workings have to start in the lease area. One pit is
observed in the area.

Proposed Mining:
The opencast method of mining with semi mechanization is proposed to
excavate the mineral and waste. Bench height and width are proposed 6 meters
each considering semi mechanization.

Approach roads are available in the lease area and will be provided in future as
required time to time. Blasting will be done by short or long holes with the
permission of DGMS. The pneumatic breaker and hydraulic breakers will be used
for excavation of mineral.

The fencing around the pit/ excavation will be provided to check the inadvertent
entry of human and livestock in the working zone.

The soil if comes across during mining in small layer or cavity will be scraped and
stacked separately to be used for plantation during monsoon.

Drinking water is being brought from public water supply available at village and
stored in water pitchers at site office and near the working sites for drinking
purpose and in cement tanks near the site office for other purpose.
The following works are proposed:
1. The barbed wire fencing will be provided around the proposed and existing
workings to check the inadvertent entry of human and livestock in mining
zone.
2. The soil which may come across during mining in patches or in cavities will be
scraped and stacked separately to be used for plantation ion monsoon.
3. Proper plantation will be done in the lease area and nearby the lease area in
each monsoon and will be reported to the department with photographs.
4. Garland drains with parapet walls will be provided around the pit to check
the entry of monsoon flowing water towards working pit.
5. Drinking water from public water supply will be brought from nearby village
and stored in water pitchers for drinking purpose and in cement tanks for
other purpose
6. The workings will be done by maintaining the proper benches.
7. The waste will be dumped at one place towards eastern side in the lease
area.
8. The site services, site office, water tanks, workshops, kitchen, bathrooms etc
will be provided in or near the leasedrea (outside the lease area).

( -Short Hole
Drill road 1.5 meters effective length
( Drill machine Jack Hammer
Burden 0.8 meter
(
Spacing l-.0 meter
( Hole Diameter 32 mm

( ii) Explosive Used

(
Blasting will be done by various types of explosives. Generally, the following
( conventional types of explosives are used in the mine.
Slurry explosive (AN based) viz. power gel, Acquadyne, Superdyne etc. are
( proposed as primer. Blasting agent is proposed as ammonium nitrate fuel oil
(ANFO)mixture.
(
The ANFO mixture will be readily produced at site by mixing ammonium
( nitrate (94.5%l with diesel oil (5.5%). lf ANFO is not allowed the other slurry
explosive may be used.
( Initiation is proposed by half second delay detonators.
(
iii) Powder Factor
(
Deep Hole:
(
Charges per hole is 0.125 kg of primer, 5.5 kg per meters of blasting agent and
( One detonator (as inquired by Mines Manager).

( Powder Factor = Effective Depth of hole X Burden X Spacing X Bulk Densitv

Total charge in Kg

= t58.4/33.L25= 4.78 tons of rock/kg of explosive

(
Short Hole:
Charges per hole is 0.125 kg of primer, O.45 kg of blasting agent and
( One detonator.
Powder Factor = Effective Depth of hole X Burden X Spacing X Bulk Densitv
Total charge in Kg
(
Powder factor = 1.5 X 0.8 X 1 X 2.2
( 0.L25 + 0.45

= 2.64/0.575 = 4.59 tons of rock/kg of explosive

iv) Secondary Blasting

Secondary blasting will not be needed

vI Storage of explosive

Considering the consumption of explosive, a 200-kg portable magazine is

proposed for storing the explosive.
(
ANFO mixing shed is proposed for manufacture of ANFO. A room will be
provided for storage of Ammonium Nitrate.
It is advised to lessee that he should apply for explosive magazine for 200
( kg capacity to the competent authority and for ANFO mixing shed to the
competent authority. lt is expected that the lessee should try to get the
(
license within six months.

e) ConceptualPlan
(
Ultimate Extent & Size Of The Pit
(
The ultimate extent and size of the workings will be as follows:
( Dimensions of workings are given below

Dimension Deposit
Lensth 275 meters maximum
(
width 35 to 40 meters maximum
( Depth Up to 667 mRL, or 34 meters maximum

( ii) The FinalSlope Angle Adopted

( Considering the stability of rocks the final slope angle or say ultimate pit
slope is proposed 45s from vertical. This slope angle will remain quite
(
safe for these deposits.
(
iii ) Ultimate Capacity of Dumps
(

(
Total waste will be 59,400 tons. Maximum waste will be used in
construction and maintenance of approach roads, construction of site
( services and rest will be dumped outside the area and a part of inside the
lease area.
(
The waste will be dumped in the area as shown on plan in 0.10 ha area
for 8 meters in height in two terraces of 4 meters height each. Some
(
waste will be dumped outside the area in own land of lessee. The waste
dump will be stabilized by retaining walls of rubble stone with drainage
connected with a settling tank to arres

(
 l8
will also construct towards lower altitude side to check the wash off
during monsoon.

iv) Stabilization of Dumps

The waste dump is proposed to stabilize by retaining wall of rubble

stones. The wall is proposed towards lower altitude side. The plantation
is also proposed over the matured dumps for stabilization.

v) Ultimate Pit Limit

The section has been prepared and ultimate slope is drawn over the
sections from end bottom point of possible reserves with ultimate slope
(refer plate-a). The upper points of these slopes have been projected
over the plan. By joining these points, the ultimate pit limit has been
drawn, which is shown on Conceptual Plan.

vi) Reclamation

No reclamation is proposed during the period of this mining plan, as

reserves will remain alive in the lease at the end of mining plan period.
However, if reserve will be exhausted during the lease period, the
exhausted benches will be reclaimed by mine rejects, spreading of topsoil
and plantation will be done. lt is also proposed to convert the pit into a
water reservoir.

Regional drainage: General drainage outside the area is northeasterly. The

area is hilly and stony. Area broken by nalahs in the five kilometers periphery
is illustrated on plate-2.

Natural drainage: The monsoon water which directly precipitates over the
workings will fill in the pit and rest water which precipitates outside the pit
will flow down towards lower altitude side by the slope of the area into the
siltation tank.

The water accumulated in the pit will be dewatered by 10 HP diesel operated

pumps which will be used for plantation and rest of it will be passed through
the siltation tank to settle the silt. The desilted water will be discharged into
nearby nalahs/streams. The rubble stone walls are constructed towards
lower side of the dumps to check the wash off during monsoon

(. The Climate of West Jaintia Hills District is uniquely pleasant and caressing. lt is
neither too warm in summer nor too cold in winter. The rainfall profile is very
(
high during the south west monsoon, which usually starts from the middle of
( May and declines towards the last part of September. The intensity of rainfall in
the district during the last few years has registered a rising trend, due to the
( untimely vagary of monsoon coupled by the existence of fogs, mists and nimbus
clouds which loom large during the rainy season. The Average Relative Humidity
is the highest during the month of July while December records the lowest
(
Relative Humidity.

11.3 MEASURE TAKEN AND TO BE TAKEN FOR CONTROL OF WATER. NOISE AND
( AIR POLLUTION
(

( Water:
During monsoon, the rain water of direct precipitation will collect in the
working pits. The monsoon water of upper altitude side may also collect
( in the pit.
A drain will be provided towards higher altitude side of the pit to divert
( the rain water away from the pit.
The dewatering will be done through a sump made in the bottom of the
(
pit and through a water tank/siltation tank at surface. Thus, the silt will
be checked and not allowed to spread in the nearby area of lower
altitude side and in agriculture lands.
The drinking water will be analyzed once in six months for quality. The
source of drinking water is tube well and hand pumps, which are away
(
from the area and thus not get any adverse effect from mining.
(
Air:
( The magnitude of air pollution in a mine varies with method of mining,
type of mineral, level of mechanization and beneficiation of mineral.
(
The gaseous pollution in the mine is due to emissions from diesel
( engines, transport vehicles as well as during blasting. The dust pollution
is due to movement of mine machineries etc. drilling, blasting and
( vehicular movement. The dust once allowed to go into atmosphere
cannot be controlled. Hence, it is necessary to suppress and minimize
(
the dust at its generating point/source as per the guidelines of MSPCB.
(

( APPROVED
(

(

(
 28
Measures proposed:

Water pollution
1-. Outmost precaution will be taken that workings should not intersect
the water table.
2. In case of intersection with ground water table, the lessee will
immediately inform to the concerned authorities.
3. Before monsoon arrival, all drains must be cleaned for proper flow of
water.
4. Regular cleaning of sump and surface tank for proper dewatering.
5. Proper maintenance of dewatering pump.
6. The drinking water will be analyzed twice in one year for quality i.e.
the source of drinking water will be tube well and hand pumps.

Dust pollution
1,. Sharp drill bits are used and the drilling machine is kept leakage proof.
Dust extractor will be provided in drill machine.
2. Controlled blasting is proposed only on hire requirement after taking
permission from DGMS and other local authorities. Water Sprinklers
provided over haul road to control the fly of dust.
3. All the haul roads will be kept wide, leveled and compact. Regular
water Sprinklers should be done on road from site to tar road once or
(
twice in a day especially during dry season to check the generation of
( dust during vehicular movement.
4. The green belt as shown on plate 6 in and near the lease area will
( minimize dispersion of dust in nearby area. The proposed plantation
is illustrated on the plan.
(
5. The proposed plantation along both sides of haul road from tar road
( and between tar road and mine site will also check the spread of dust
in nearby area.
(
6. Monitoring in six months is proposed for assessment of impact for
generation of dust due to vehicular movement, drilling, blasting and {PPnOyeO
loading etc. and measures should be adopted to minimize the
(

( gaseous pollution.
