2.5 Project Description with Process Details (a Schematic Diagram / Flow
Chart Showing the Project Layout, Components of the Project etc.
should be given)
Method of Quarrying: Sand in the quarry lease area is proposed to be mined out by
conventional method of opencast mining which will be manual. Because of presence
of soft and incompetent rock mass, drilling and blasting are not required.
Bench Geometry: Benching pattern is not feasible in case of sand mining. The
maximum depth of mining will be of 0.5m.
Time Schedule: Total working days are 210 days in a year. Number of shift per day
is 01 (One). The working hour in a shift is 8.00 hours from 8AM to 2PM and 3PM to
5PM with a lunch break of 1 hour from 2PM to 3 PM
Production Planning: During the plan period the average production will be 4152
cu.m of sand/annum.
Extent of Mechanization: In the Korua sand quarry the operation is manual and
there is no requirement of any machines.
Transportation: The sands excavated from the quarry are transported through 10MT
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.
List of Machinery/Equipment Proposed: As the mining is manual so no machines
will be used.
Blasting: Korua area is enriched with sand which is soft and incompetent in nature
so no blasting will be required.
2.6 Raw Material Required along with Estimated Quantity, likely
Source, Marketing Area of Final Product/s, Mode of Transport
of Raw Material and Finished Product.
The said project is a minor mineral/sand excavation project. It does not involve any
other raw material for sand excavation rather only production of construction sands
from the available reserve within the quarry area.
2.7 Resource Optimization / Recycling and Reuse Envisaged in
the Project, if any, should be briefly outlined.
Excavation of sand will be carried out strictly as per Odisha Minor Mineral
Concession (Amendment) Rules, 2014 with a view to optimize all resources
available.
2.8 Availability of Water, Its Source, Energy / Power Requirement
and Source should be given.
2.8.1 Availability of Water and Its Source
Water is used only for drinking purpose. A total 100 liters per day of water is used per
day for the above activities. The water will be purchased from the wells / tube wells
from nearby areas.
62.8.2 Energy / Power Requirement and Its Source
No electricity is required as there will be no operation after sun set. For security
purpose if light is required during night then solar power will be arranged for the
same.
2.9 Quantity of Wastes to be generated (Liquid and Solid) and
Scheme for Their Management / Disposal
During plan period the waste generated are the sand mixed with clay which will be
left in the quarry area. Since it is a sand mining so no proposed dump has been
suggested in the quarry as there will be no significant quantity of waste.
Liquid Waste / Waste Water: The said Quarry area does not have any workshop
within the lease area. Thus, no trade effluent is generated from the quarry site.
However, during rainy season surface runoff containing suspended solids and silts
flows out.
