(ii) Brief Description of Nature of Project

The mining lease Khasra no: 512Min, 516Min,517Min & 518Min is
located near village-Chunawali Zamboor Pattan Chulan, Tehsil-Uri,
District-Baramulla, J&K over an area of 1.57570Ha. Gypsum is to be
mined @ 65964 tonne per annum. Mining will be done by semi-
mechanized opencast method.
(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the Country and or Region
Jammu & Kashmir is a rich state in mineral. The state is endowed with
major and minor mineral resources. The region, where the project is
situated, people are mostly dependent on agriculture and mineral
resources. The developments of mining in the area provide direct and
indirect employment opportunities, infrastructure development,
communication and development socio-economic infrastructure. The

important benefits accruing from the project can thus be stated as -

boost to local and regional economy, direct contribution to the state
exchequer.
(iv) Demand and Supply Gap

Gypsum is the main raw material for cement manufacture industries,
chemical, ceramic and fertilizer industries. The quarry produces good
grade Gypsum leading to conservation of mineral resources. Gypsum
board is primarily used as a finish for walls and ceilings, and is known
in construction as drywall, wallboard, sheetrock or plasterboard.
Gypsum blocks are used like concrete blocks in building construction.
Plaster ingredients are used in surgical splints, casting moulds and
modeling. Jammu & Kashmir is the sole holder of country's borax and
sapphire resources and possesses 36% graphite, 21% marble and 14%
of gypsum. Coal, gypsum and limestone are the important minerals
produced in the State. Coal occurs in Poonch, Rajouri and Udhampur
districts; gypsum in Baramulla and Doda districts; limestone in
Anantnag, Baramulla, Kathua, Leh, Poonch, Pulwama, Rajauri,
Srinagar and Udhampur districts; and magnesite in Leh and
Udhampur districts. Other minerals that occur in the State are bauxite,
ball clay and china clay in Udhampur district; bentonite in Jammu
district; borax and sulphur in Leh district; diaspore in Rajouri and
Udhampur districts; graphite in Baramulla district; lignite and marble
in Kupwara district; quartz and silica sand in Anantnag, Doda and
Udhampur districts; quartzite in Anantnag district; and sapphire in
Doda district.
(v) Imports v/s Indigenous Production

Demand of Gypsum in the domestic market is high. In the allotted
area, Gypsum is available in abundant quantity and can be excavated
indigenously. It had become a major source of economy in the
area/region.

(vi) Export Possibility

Gypsum is mainly used for cement manufacture industries, chemical,
ceramic and fertilizer industries. Mineral Gypsum shall cater the
indigenous demand and major consumers are located in nearby areas.
(vii) Domestic/Exports Markets

There is always an increasing demand of Gypsum in domestic market.
(viii) Employment generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project

By proposed project of Gypsum mining in the area, people get
employment. The project directly generates the employment
opportunities for the local people and indirectly for the others. The
total manpower requirement for the proposed mining operation will be
around 25 persons directly. Indirect employment is expected by allied
activities.
3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

(i) Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if
any.
The proposed project of Gypsum mining is an independent project in
which mineral will be sold directly in domestic market as lumps and
grits.
(ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project
boundary & project site layout) with coordinates.
The lease area has been marked on toposheet No. 43J/4 falls in near
village-Chunawali Zamboor Pattan Chulan, Tehsil-Uri, District–
Baramulla, in the state of J&K.
(iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the
proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone
into should be highlighted.
It is naturally occurring rocks which is site specific due to its geological
origin. This lease is granted by the state govt. No alternative sites are
proposed.

(iv) Size and Magnitude of Operation

Total area of mine lease is 1.5757Ha. The mining operation will be @
65964 tonne per annum production of Gypsum.
(v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow

chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc.
should be given)
The mining is manual, very small “B” Category. Since the area is very
small and development of haulage road to the Centre at RL 2182 has
already been taken for opening of the benches from top, the bench
would also serve as road down below for transportation of Gypsum.
The general slope of the hillock is around 18°. The lowest RL is 2122m
and highest point is 2263m, means RL difference of 141m Therefore for
effective winning of mineral, benches have to be opened from east at RL
2210m keeping the height of benches to 1.5 to 3m maximum and
minimum width of 6m with pit slope maintenance to 45° the face slope
shall remain 75°. Initially the mining during five shall be restricted to
eastern periphery & after five years period the infrastructure would be
developed in the form of preparation of topography, dressing of
haulage road towards north western portion of the lease area.
At the moment, use of explosive in the area is not possible because of
the border sensitiveness of the area. If at any time the infrastructure and
conditions for use of explosive are congenial, jack hammer drilling
32mm dia holes for blasting shall be adopted.
(a) Geology of the Area

The geology of the area has been studied in general by pioneering
worker S.C. Middle miss some 70 years back. Middle miss gave only
the general description of the deposits. Wadia (1934) described regional
geological setup of the area. The first systematic of Gypsum deposits
was conducted by M.I.Bhat of G.S.I (1959-1960). According to him the
Gypsum deposits were of high purity and contained in average
Gypsum content of 92.79% as per his estimate about 100 million tonnes

of probable Gypsum resources and 57 million workable reserves occur

in the area upto 40mts depth.
Detailed geological studies were carried out by the geologists of state
Department of Geology & Mining, in selective blocks namely P.L.Raina,
J.L.Koul, K.S.Chib, R.L.Pandita, B.L.Tiku, A.R.Mir etc.
The Geological succession of the rock formation as worked by D.N.Wadia is
as follows:
Nomenclature Description Age
Alluvium Silt and sandy clay Recent
Fluvial glacial Boulders, Gravel of different Pleistocene

deposits variety and size
Panjal Trap Lavas of intermediate Permian to late

(b) Local Geology

A lithological section as worked out in the block is given as under:
S.No. Bed No. Lithological Section
1 1 Gypsum (45m)
2 2 phyllite (7m) lensoidal
3 3 Gypsum (47m)
The deposits comprise of 2 Gypsum bands through which a small

phyllitic Band occurs in lensoidal form pinching towards west. The
phyllites are quartzitic, carbonaceous and siricitic in nature. The
Gypsum is massive compact and white in colour. Secondary deposits of
Gypsum are also observed in the area which exhibits relatively greater
hardness and resistance to weathering. The eastern deposits outside the
lease boundary are concealed under 5 to 7m soil cover. The general
strike of the Gypsum bands is N 45°E – S 45° W with in slope dips of 45°
towards west.

(c) Mineable Reserves

Total Mineable reserve = (Proved + Probable)
= 313536+314334 = 627870 MT
(d) Details of Machineries to be Deployed
The bench height is proposed from 1.5 to 3m and production of mineral is
proposed to be achieved manually through development of road to top and then
benches shall be drawn downwards from RL 2220m. JCB/shovel shall be
engaged for development.
(e) Proposed Year wise Details of the Next First Five Years
The proposed year wise production plan for next five years is given in
below table:

Total 296020 296020
(f) Proposed Rate of Production when the mine is fully developed

The production of masonry is estimated at 65964 tonnes per year. 20%
variation may take place in target as per market requirement.
Considering the national, state and local holidays there will be around
300 working days in a year. Hence the permitted operating capacity of
the mine is 65964 MT per Annum.
(g) Anticipated Life of Mine

Mineable (Proved + Probable) Reserves/Avg. Annual Production =
627870 MT (after deducting mineral loss and safey barrier)/Gypsum @
65964 TPA = About 9.51 Years (Say 10 Years). The life of mine may
change depend upon the prospecting results, rate of production and the
extent of mechanization.

(vi) Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source,
marketing area of final products/s, Mode of transport of raw Material
and Finished Product.
No raw material is required during the mining process. The operation
involved excavation of Gypsum directly transport to end users/market
in the form of lumps and grits.
(vii) Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if

any, should be briefly outlined.
In nature, mineral is in finite quantity and once the mineral depleted
cannot be replenished. Working will be done systematically to optimum
utilizes of mineral. Scientific mining practices will be adapted to
optimum utilization of resources.
(viii) Availability of water its source, energy/power requirement and source

should be given.
Total water requirement at mine will be about 4.0 KLD for drinking &
domestic use, dust suppression and plantation. Water will be sourced
from bore wells located in nearby villages through tankers. Diesel will
be use as motive source of primary energy for mine machineries. Diesel
will be 50 liter per day is assumed to be consumed. Diesel will be
outsourced from nearby diesel pumps/depot.
(ix) Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for
their management/disposal.
the phyllitic material that comes out in bigger fragments will be utilized
in the middle development in making parapet walls toe walls, retaining
walls etc and the rest shall be dumped in earmarked dumps year wise
and each dump will be protected by stone fencing and yearly plantation
will be made over such dumps. In case of mine closure if any the
parapet walls will be utilized in back filling of the benches created due
to haulage road together with the recoverable rejected waste from the
waste dump yard and followed by the plantation through local verities
particularly herbs and shrubs to prevent any soil erosion to a great
extent.

(v) Existing Infrastructure
This is an existing mining project of Gypsum near Village - Chunawali
Zamboor Pattan Chulan, Tehsil - Uri, District - Baramulla (J&K). No
infrastructure facilities exist within lease area. A well equipped first aid
facility is proposed to be available at there. Temporary rest shelter
urinal and latrine are proposed. The mining staff/workers use water

from bore well to be dug near the leasehold. A small water tank is also
proposed in mine office premises. This can be used for supply of water
to drinking purposes.
(vi) Soil Classification

Top soil within the mines will be removed completely due to mining
activities. It is also expected that nearby area may be affected due to
deposition of dust from various mining activities such as loading and
unloading operations and vehicular movement.
During rainy season the wash-off and run-off of OB dump may cause
siltation in low lying areas. No toxic contamination is present in the
solid waste to be generated. Hence the soil quality in the buffer zone is
not expected to be adversely affected due to mining operation.
The present land use of the core-zone i.e. mining lease area is waste
land with no forest cover. Hence every impact on land use will be
positive in future by way of afforestation or water reservoir.
Simultaneous backfilling will be done in excavated and exhausted
portion of the quarry. In buffer zone no adverse impact is envisaged as
all mining activities will be restricted to the core zone only.
i) Lithosols
These soils are found on steep slopes in the foot hills of Jammu district.
The soil is gravelly loam to gravelly silty loam. The pH of the soil is
nearly neutral in nature i.e. 7.1 to 7.8. The soils have a good water
holding capacity.
ii) Alluvial soils

The alluvial soils are mostly found in the flood plains of Ravi, Chenab,
Jhelum and Sind rivers and their tributaries. The soils are found in
plains Jammu district. These soils have been divided into two groups
viz. old alluvial and new alluvial. The old alluvial soils are calcareous
and neutrals to alkaline in their reaction (pH 7.6- 8.4) and low to
medium in organic carbon and nitrogen. The pH of the new alluvial

soil ranges between 7.0-7.7 and is calcareous with low in organic

carbon and nitrogen. Source: http://www.cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/JandK/jammu.pdf
(vii) Climatic data from Secondary Sources

The climate of the district is classified as sub-humid to sub-tropical
type of climate. The summer season starts from April and lasts till June
is followed by southwest Monsoon that has maximum rainfall of the
year spread over the months of July, August and September. The post
monsoon season (October and November) also experiences some
rainfall and is followed by winter season (December-February). The
nearest meteorological observatory is located in Water Management
and Research Centre (SKUAST) at Pounichak and taken as
representative of the study area.
The sub humid to sub-tropical district receives normal annual rainfall
of 1246 mm. June is the hottest month of the year with mean daily
temperature ranging between 24.90ºC and 41.70ºC and reached up to
47ºC. January is the coldest month and temperature comes as low as
4.0ºC. Most of the rainfall is received through the southwest monsoon
which lasts from the last week of June to end of September.
During remaining period rainfall is sporadic and scanty. The humidity
is lowest in May i.e. 26% and maximum in December and January is
89%. The rainfall is maximum in the months of July and August.
Minimum rainfall occurs in November.
