2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent:
The proposed mine Village- Bhansali,,Tehsil- Bharuch, Dist.-Bharuch (Gujarat). The total mine
lease area is 1.63.12 Hectare has been leased . The total capacity has been anticipated to be
1.41.914MT of soil that will be extracted and transported to clients directly from the project site.
Site is situated in in Village- Bhansali, Tehsil- Bharuch, Dist.- Bharuch (Gujarat) .
2.2 Brief Information about the Project
The project has been proposed for mining of 1.41.914 MT of Ordinary Soil by Opencast mining
method. The LEASE area is 1.63.12 Hect. Water requirement for the proposed project for
drinking use, dust suppression and other use will be 4.7 KLD, which will be taken from nearby
source.
2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region:
The mining project falls in the Bharuch District of Gujarat the area is devoid of industrial
growth. The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are dependent upon
agriculture only. Mineral wealth of the state Gujarat provides the employment opportunity to the
4
people of the state as well as region also. Mining is one of the major core sector industries which
play a crucial role in the process of country economic development. The mineral Ordinary Soil
finds extensive use in the construction works.
2.4 Demands-Supply Gap
There is a demand of Ordinary Soil for filling.
2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production
Ordinary soil involves indigenous production hence the import and export activity is not
involved.
2.6 Export Possibility
There is no export possibility.
2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets
Products are marketed mainly in local areas. There is only domestic market of ordinary soil.
2.8 Employment Generation
It generates major employment of unskilled manpower from rural areas. It is seasonal in nature
and generally operational between 150 day in a year.
3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Type of Project Including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects, If Any.
It is an opencast manual method project over an area of 1.63.12 Hect, with a proposed
production is
1.41.914MT of Ordinary Soil. This is an independent mining project and there are no
interlinked projects involved.

3.3 Details of Alternate Sites
Mining is site specific so no alternative site is proposed.
3.4 Size or magnitude of operation
The lease area has been granted over an area of 1.63.12 Hect. The average number of working
days in the year would be 150.
3.7 Project description with process details
3.7.1 Proposed Method of Mining
For the filling, natural soil as raw material has been identified, Opencast method of mining will
be adapted on single shift basis to excavate the overburden as well as crude Soil hence manual
open cast mining procedures shall be followed to full-fill raw material through excavating the
soil up-to permissible depth i.e. 0.86 meter from the land. It is proposed to use manual
excavation not exceeded 0.86meter depth of the land.
Production details
Year wise production is shown below:
Year Excavation of Soil in MT
First year 1,37,999
3.8 Raw Material Required Along With Estimated Quantity, Likely Source, Marketing
Area of Final Product/s, Mode of Transport of Raw Material and Finished Product
No raw material will be required for production of proposed minerals.The mine mineral shall be
collected and dispatch to various industries through trucks.
3.9 Resource Optimization/ Recycling and Reuse
Resource optimization has been exercised but there is no scope of recycling and reuse in the
project. Only top soil shall be used in regeneration of soil quality after completion of excavation
work.
