 Pre Feasibility Report of Mandir Hasaud Limestone Quarry, Area- 4.048 Hect, Village – Mandir Hasaud
Teshsil – Arang District – Raipur (C.G.)

Further Government of India, Ministry of Environment and Forest issued

guidelines dated 24th Dec 2013 and amendments are made regarding
categorization of „B‟ category projects as “B1” and “B2”.

(ii) Brief Description of Nature of the Project

This is a small mining project for exploiting stone. The method of quarrying
will be opencast manual by deploying equipments for excavation of stone
and loading for transportation.

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

Stones have the great importance as building material. Bigger size stone as
blocks are used to fill the foundation of building while small pieces are
usually mixed with cement and other ingredients to create mortar for
building. As a building material, stones have good demand in the market.
Hence small scale mining of stone is a good source of earning of local
villagers for their lively hood.

(iv) Demand Supply Gap

The demand of stone is huge as after crushing in to small pieces it is the

main raw material for constructions. To fill up the demand, the stone mined
out from the mining lease area will be supplied in the open market in raw
form or after crushing it to different sizes.

(v) Demand Supply Analysis

In order to have the great demand for stone gitty the supply is limited. To
fulfill the demand of market the mined out Stones will be supplied in the
market.

(vi) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) Due to the Project

Unskilled 15 labors will be required for loading the mined out stones on
trucks etc and skilled 1people will be required for supervision purpose,
maintain the record of production and shipment etc.

Teshsil – Arang District – Raipur (C.G.)

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

No alternate site is considered as the quarry lease is a site specific activity. In

the present case, the collector has granted the mining lease to the owner for
the quarry of stone. As for as the environmental considerations are
concerned the area is away from the human habitation, in the Private land,
free from forest. This quarry activity does not affect the water table of the
area. Limited machinery will be required for mining of stone and limited
transport vehicles are needed for shipment of produced material.

(iv) Size or Magnitude of operation

The mining lease area is 1.000 Ha in which the working area is 0.770 ha and
the production of Crusher stone is about 237 tons per day that too with
blasting etc. Hence the size or magnitude of operation is very small.

(v) Project Description with Process details (a schematic diagram/ Flow

chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should
be given.
The Crusher stone mining will be carried out mainly by semi mechanized
with the use of mining equipments. Only limited drill holes with the help of
jack hammer will be required for limited blasting purpose in the mining
process. The mined out Crusher stone will be transported through trucks,
tippers etc.

(vi) Drilling
Drilling is not required for exploration purpose but for production of Crusher
stonejack hammer drill holes are required for blasting purpose to break the
rock.

(vii) Blasting:

In view of this small scale quarrying activity the blasting parameters will be
simple and use of explosive will also be less. Blasting will be done by
licensedcontractor.

Type of explosives used / to be used

Not required to be mentioned as blasting will be done by the licensed
contractor.

Storage of explosive (like capacity and type of explosive magazine)

Blasting will be done by licensed contractor hence magazine is not required
in the quarry site.

(viii) Raw Material/ Consumables Required along with estimated quantity,

likely source, marketing area of final product, mode of transport of raw
material and finished product.
No any raw material/ consumables are required. The stone produced from
the mine will transported through trucks, tippers etc. to the end users.

(ix) Availability of water, its source, Energy/power requirement and source

should be given.
As much as about 4 KLPD Water will be required for mining operations
including dust suppression along haul road / mine faces, cleaning, washing,
drinking as well as plantation. Energy/power is not required as the mining
activities are carried out in day time only.

Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for

their management/ disposal

About 10 % sub grade materials will be generated. This sub grade material is
nothing but the crushed and breakage part of stone. Hence it is proposed to
stack this sub grade material in a suitable place.

Selection of Dumping Site:

The stacking of the sub grade material generated during mining is proposed
in the mine area itself at a suitable place.

SITE ANALYSIS
The area is about 100 km from District Mahasamund. Raigarh Railway
Station is about 70.0 km.
