Hon’ble National Green Tribunal has passed an order dated 13th January 2015 and directed on the validity of the Notifications of 2013 and various OM issued by MOEF. Keeping this order in view, detailed deliberation was made between the members of SEAC and representatives of CGM.

Going through order of Honorable NGT, it has declared the Notification dated 9th September, 2013 as invalid and inoperative. Another directive is regarding the Office memorandums dated 24th June, and 24th December, 2013; wherein some part of them is declared invalid. According to NGT order in OM dated 24th June, 2013 clause 4 (b) (i) is declared invalid and under OM order dated 24th December, 2013 Clause 2 (I) (iii) is invalid. All the office memorandums and notifications issued by MoEF i.e. 1st December, 2009, 18th May, 2012 and 24th June, 2013 and 24th December, 2013 (except to the extent afore-stated) are operative and would apply to the lease mine holders irrespective of the fact whether the area involved is more or less than 5 hectares.

Accordingly under memorandums dated 24thJune 2013, clause no 4(b)(i) ‘no borrowing of earth/excavation of ‘brick earth’ or ‘ordinary earth shall be permitted in case the area of borrowing/excavation is within 1 km of boundary of national parks or wild life sanctuaries" – is held invalid.

Accordingly under memorandums dated 24th December, 2013, clause 2 (I) (iii), ‘No river sand mining project, with mine lease area less than 5 ha, may be considered for granting EC" is held invalid.

The NGT has also directed the MoEF to formulate a uniform cluster policy in consultation with the states for permitting minor mineral mining activity.

In view of the above, committee decided to bifurcate above mentioned proposals received from CGM (Commissioner, Geology and Mining) in below mentioned categories of mining leases as per the prevailing office memorandums of MoEF&CC, New Delhi

of 26

1. Lease area(s) which do not fall in any cluster situation.

2. Lease areas which fall under the cluster situation and cumulative total lease area becomes less than 25 Ha.

3. Lease areas which fall under the cluster situation and cumulative total lease area becomes equal or above 25 Ha but less than 50 Ha.

4. Lease areas which fall under the cluster situation and cumulative total lease becomes equals or above 50 Ha.

Once information regarding clusters pertaining to the proposals as mentioned above is furnished, it will taken in one of the next SEAC meeting for the hearing so as to comply with the order of Honorable National Green Tribunal dated 13 January 2015.
