as Sangam and is visited by thousands of Hindu pilgrims every year. Allahabad is among the largest

cities of Uttar Pradesh in terms of population and area. The geographical area of Allahabad is about

62 sq km (under Municipal Corporation). Its spatial extension falls at 25° 28’ N latitude and 81°54’ E

longitude. The district of Allahabad is surrounded by the Pratapgarh districts in the North, district

Jaunpur in the Northeast, Sant Ravidas Nagar and Mirjapur in the east, Kaushambi and Chitrakoot in

the west and the state of Madhya Pradesh in the South.

Allahabad has its own domestic airport, Bambruali, which is located 14 km from the city. Apart from

Indian Airlines, few private airlines also provide flight services to and from Allahabad. However,

nearby cities, i.e. Varanasi (147 km) and Lucknow (210 km) also have airports. Allahabad is well

connected by a network of trains to almost all major destinations throughout the country i.e. Kolkata,

Delhi, Patna, Guwahati, Chennai, Mumbai, Gwalior, Meerut, Lucknow, Kanpur and Varanasi.

Allahabad is located on National Highways 2 and 27. The government and private bus services are

available to and from Allahabad to all nearby major destinations.

Geology:

Regional Geology

The Ganga basin has been dominated by transvers river system since Pliocene due to erosion during

uplift that is symmetric subsidence of foreland. Large plio-Pleistocene sediment combines with less

asymmetric subsidence and uplift of the proximal fore land let to the pro gradation of the drainage

system that displaced the Yamuna River and after Allahabad Ganga River to edge of the foreland

basin. The Present river system consistent with erosion driven uplift adjacent Himalayan. The regional

geological setup is very well depicted in the map below;

Source: Singh I B 1996

Local Geology:

Geology map of Allahabad city shows the existence of Terrace Alluvium and Varanasi Alluvium as

geologic unit. The Varanasi Older Alluvium, a polycyclic sequence of yellowish brown clay- silt and

fine sand with dissemination of kankar, is exposed in the north of Yamuna. The Newer Alluvium is

characterized by unoxidized khaki and grey coloured sediments which consists predominantly of

micaceous sand, silt and clay. It has been divided into Terrace and Channel Alluvium. The Terrace

Alluvium of both Ganga and Yamuna are developed on a cut and eroded platform of Varanasi Older

Alluvium. The Terrace Alluvium of Ganga consists of multiple fill sequence of grayish sand, silt and

clay while that of Yamuna consists of medium to fine grained quartzo- feldspathic and grey

The existing land use of mine lease area belongs to landuse category “Agricultural plain” and shall

continue to be so even after the current mining project is over.

(v) Existing infrastructure

The existing land use of mine lease area belongs to landuse category “Agricultural land” and shall

continue to be so even after the current mining project is over.

(vi) Soil Classification

Geologically the region is composed of Alluvium and dun gravels. The presences of large number of

canals indicate its agricultural prosperity. The level surface, alluvial Earth further provides impetus to

agricultural pursuits

(vii) Climatic data (secondary source): (District-Allahabad)

The study area is Allahabad Plateau zone and is subjected to vagaries of weather. The climate of the

project area is characterized by cool and dry climate. The year can be divided into three distinct

seasons; winters last from October to March followed by summers from April to June.

Temperature

In the plains during the summer season, the maximum temperature is of the order of 41.7°C and

minimum temperature of the order of 7.7 °C. With the onset of the southwest monsoon by about the

end of June day temperatures decrease while night temperatures remain as in the summer season.

During the post-monsoon season, mid-September to November, both day and night temperatures

begin to drop appreciably. January is the coldest month. In the plains during this month the mean

daily minimum temperature is of the order of 18.91°C and the daily maximum temperature of the

order of 32.47°C.

Humidity

During the southwest monsoon season the relative humidity is high and after the withdrawal of the

monsoon humidity decreases. The mean monthly maximum relative humidity in the morning of

August month is 84% and mean monthly minimum relative humidity measured in the morning of May

is 41%.

Cloudiness

In the winter season the sky is generally clear or lightly clouded except for brief spells of a day or two

each time when in association with the passage of western disturbances particularly in the northern

parts of the district sky become cloudy. Sky is clear or lightly clouded in the summer and post-

monsoon seasons. Heavily clouded to overcast sky prevail in the monsoon seas

Winds

Wind direction and speed are the most critical metrological parameters, as they govern the dispersion

of pollutants. Wind direction is reported as the direction from which the wind blows and is based on

surface observations. Over the course of a year, wind usually blows in all directions, with varying

frequencies. Certain directions occur more frequently than others, which are known as the prevailing

wind directions. Winds are generally light to moderate in this area. It can be seen that the annual mean

wind speed varies from 0.8 to 14.2 km/h. The prominent wind direction is East and South east.

Rainfall

The main rainy season is the southwest monsoon season, from about the last week of June to

September-mid, some rainfall much less in amount occurs in the cold season from December to

February in association with the passage of western disturbances, District receives annual rainfall is

about 489 mm. The maximum rainfall received during monsoon period was June to mid September.

The maximum rainfall varies from 400 mm. to 550 mm. The lowest rainfall was received during the

month of November -December. In the same fifty year period the annual rainfall was less than 80% of

the normal in ten years. There were three occasions when two consecutive years had rainfall less than

80% of the normal.

(viii) Social Infrastructure

The social infrastructure like educational facilities (primary and higher secondary schools, degree

college), drinking water supply, post and telegraph, public transportation and hospitals are by and

large are available in the study area.

5. PLANNING BRIEF

(i) Planning Concept

The proposed project is to mine brick clay from plot(s) sustainably and scientifically. The minor

mineral (clay) will be excavated from the plot(s) as per mining rules and casting of raw bricks will be

done which will be transported to the kiln through horse cart, trolleys etc. through village chak roads.

Mining will be opencast Manual keeping nearby plot(s) unaffected. Maximum depth of mining will be

only upto 2.0 m as per agreement.

(ii) Population Projection

There is no projection of population as the mining activity will be carried out during day time only.
