Brief Introduction of Buldhana district :

Buldhana district is located in the Amravati division of Maharashtra, India. It is situated at the
western border of Vidarbha region and is 500 km away from the state capital, Mumbai. The
district has towns and cities like Shegaon, Malkapur, Khamgaon, Lonar, Mehkar, and Chikhli. It
is surrounded by Madhya Pradesh in the north, Akola, Washim, and Amravati districts on the
east, Jalna district on the south, and Jalgaon and Aurangabad districts on the west. The district
is mainly covered in Survey of India topographic Sheet No. 55D/8 partly in 46P and 56 A & lies
between latitudes are 19.51° to 21.17° N and longitudes are 75.57° to 76.59° E. Bounded on the
north by Madhya Pradesh state, to the east by Akola and Washim, to the south by Parbhani and
Jalna districts, and to the west by Jalna and Jalgaon districts.
The district consists of six subdivisions and thirteen tahsils comprising 1444 villages. The district
Head Quarters is at Buldhana. The distances of the other major towns from Buldhana is
Aurangabad ( 180 KM ), Pune ( 425 KM ), Amravati ( 200 KM ), Nagpur ( 350 KM ). District is
bounded on the North by Khandawa District of Madhya Pradesh on the South by Parabhani
District on the west by Jalna and Jalgaon Districts and on the North East by Amravati District.

The name of the district is probably derived from Bhil Thana (place of Bhils, a tribal group).
Buldhana holds religious significance as it is the site of the Shri Gajanan Maharaj temple,
Shegaon. This district is a major tourist attraction owing to the ancient Lonar crater (second
largest in the world), declared a world heritage. Shegaon of Gajanan Maharaj Sailanibaba's
Dargah are the major places of pilgrimage. Sindakhedraja in this district is renowned to be
birthplace of Rajmata Jeejabai.

National Highway 6 - NH6 passes through Khamgaon, Nandura, and Malkapur towns in the
district.
The principal rivers in the district are Painganga and Purna. The district forms part of Godavari
and Tapi basin. Purna and Penganga Rivers are the main rivers flowing through the district. The
other important river are the khandakpurna, Nalganga, Vishwaganga, Gyanganga and
Banganga. The principal tributaries of purna are Nalganga, Vishwaganga and Gyanganga from
the south. There are two medium irrigation project of the river Nalganga and Gyanganga in the
district. The total area of the district is 9661 Sq. Kms. which is about 3.14% of the total area of
Maharashtra State.

3
Major part of the district is covered by basaltic lava flows of upper Cretaceous to lower Eocene
age. The Deccan lava sequence is grouped under Satpura group in the northern part whereas in
southern part it is grouped under Sahyadri group.
The northern part of the district on either side of Purna River is underlain by thick Alluvial
deposits of Pleistocene to Recent age and is termed as Purna Alluvium. The Alluvium is also
observed in a small patch southwest of Malkapur and east of Khamgaon along the boundaries
of district

Drainage

The Penganga, is the principal river of the district ; the other important rivers are Purna,
Khadakpurna, Nalganga, Vishwaganga, Gyanganga and Banganga,.
The Penganga rises in the Hills near Deulghat, runs in a south-easterly direction East Mehakar
then enters the Akola district. Most of the part of Chikhali and Mehakar tahasils. Fall within the
drainage of the Penganga. The portion of the river which lies in this district is almost dry in the
hot weather.
The Khadak Purna or Lower Purna rises in the Ajanta hills to the West of the district, which
enters a little to the north of Deulgaon Raja and traverses the Sindkhed Raja tahasil in a south
east direction for a distance of about 50kms. It does hot flow in the hot weather.
Penganga and Khadak Purna are important rivers of the Godavari basin, but they do not acquire
their importance till they leave the district.
Purna is only the perennial stream in the plains, rises in the south facing scarps of Gawilgad hills
in the district and has a pretty dense network of tributaries.
Its principal tributaries within the district are Nalganga, Vishwaganga and Gyanganga from the
south and Banganga from the north.
Nalganga rising in the hills near Deulghat runs to North and join Purna near Narval.
Vishwaganga rises at Buldana itself.
Dyanganga rises in the table lands north of the valley of the Penganga and run part Nandura
before join the Purna.
Banganga rises in the Melghat to the north of Jalgaon Jamod tahasil and flows south ward to
meet the Purna.

All these rivers have a sub parallel to sub-dendritic drainage pattern which is structurally
controlled by bed rock formed by Deccan trap.

Generally 42% of southern and eastern part of our district is occupied by Penganga and
Khadakpurna river area these are tributaries of river Godavari with the remaining part comes
under Purna and its tributaries.

Climate
The district gets rain from south west Monsoons. The rainfall period is from June to September.
However rain generally falls in the months of June and July upto the end of October.
The district falls under the assured rainfall zone and average rainfall ranging from 500 to 900
mm.
The climate of the Buldhana district is generally dry and hot except during monsoon , Buldhana
town itself i.e. district headquarters has a comparatively cool weather and is considered to be
the most pleasant place in district .
The general climate of the district is characterised by Hot and Dry summers and cold winters
with the seasonal variation in the temperature being pretty large.
Hailstorms are common during February to April and also during the post monsoon period from
November to January.

Temperature :
Temperature is one of the most influential climatic factors, which affects the distribution of
agricultural crops and plants. Temperature regulates all the chemical and physiological
processes of plant metabolism. The metabolic processes begin at a certain minimum
temperature and increase with rise of temperature until they reach optimum temperature.
Further, the metabolic activity slows down until it ceases at a temperature called maximum.
These are called cordial temperature points. The cordial limits of cold season crops are 0-50C,
22-270C, and 30-370C and for hot season crops are 15-180C, 30-350C, and 44-550C
respectively. Chilling injury is caused when temperature goes below the minimum and
desiccation is caused when temperature goes above the maximum.Temperature conditions
have been far less erratic from year to year than rainfall conditions in each agricultural region.

The following table shows month wise temperature variation in Buldhana District

Natural Economic Resources


Deccan Traps cover a major part of the District. Trap rocks are very hard and compact and are
dark grey in colour. Trap rocks being dense, hard and compact are extensively used as building
stones, road metal, railway ballast and as an aggregate in cement concrete. Erosive agents and
weathering together have formed good fertile soils near the river beds. Only a few deposits of
Agate (Semiprecious Stones) reported to be occurring in the district

Forestry

About 840.66 Sq KM of area was under forest which constituted 8.70% of the total area.
Forest resources contribute significantly to the economy of the district. Forest area is located in
Gavilgad Hills in the north and Agentha hills in the south of Buldhana district. Dense forest is
observed in Buldhana, Khamgaon and Jalgaon Jamod talukas. The resources are Timber wood,
fuel wood, Tendu Patta, Gum, Grass etc.

Dnyanganga wild life sanctuary


Both forest area 22 kms away from Buldhana towns has been declared as a Dhyanganga wild
life sanctuary. This has been published in Government Gazette dated 20th May 1997. The forest
area of Dnyanganga sanctuary is 20356.6 Hactares.

Amba barawa wild life sanctuary


Northern most part of Buldana district, which is in Sangrampur Tahasil in Satpuda Range has
been declare as wild life sanctuary. The forest area of Ambabarwa is 12711.42 Ha.

Dudhaneshwar Sanctuary
The area around the Girada Padli villages has been proposed by forest office for declaring it as a
wild life sanctury. This area is of 2800 hectares.

Minerals and mining

The trap covers a major part of the district and is characterised by basalt lava flows which are
generally dark grey, hard and compact. The tops of individual flows are usually vesicular and
zeolitic whilst the middle zone is fairly compact and non-zeolitic. Amygdalloidal, porphyritic, or
glomeroporphyritic textures are noticed locally. The vesicles are filled by secondary minerals
like zeolites, quartz, calcite or some earthy or ferruginous material. Well developed columnar
joints and spheroidal weathering are characteristic features of the massive basalts. Weathered
zeolitised traps occur in the river beds and bluish grey, soft volcanic ash beds are encountered
locally. Trap rock being hard, dense and durable is most suitable for building purposes but it

barren of any economically important minerals. Sodium chloride is found along the entire belt
of the Purna River. The basalts are composed of laths of plagioclase felspars (andesine to
labradorite), augite, pigeonite, glass, and minor amounts of opaque ores. Mostly basalt is used
as building grade stone for infrastructural and civil work.

Soil and Cropping pattern

There are three major soil types in this district, locally called as Bharkali, morand and Barad.
Morand soils are silt and lime mixed heavy in texture and blackish one suitable for cotton
growing. Black soil is also found in Chikhli and Mehkar area but the depth of Top soil being very
low hence suitable for wheat growing. Sandy soils are locally called as Barad, percentage of
sand is more than silt and clay hence light in nature hence identified as light soils. These are
very poor fertile soil types than morand. Constitute the physical basis of all agricultural
practices. The infiltration and transmission of moisture through soil depends upon the particle
size, amount of organic mater in the soil depth. These factors are also depend upon the
approach of soil for the saturation its swollen capacity and individual physical properties.

From the physical properties of the soil in the district it can be divided into

1) Coarse shallow soil


2) Medium black soil and
3) Deep black soil

Coarse shallow soil covers the high lands in district. The depth of such
soil remains very lese. The infiltration is much less in these type of soils and run off is more. This
type covers an area of 4564.72 Sq. Km. Medium blacksoil is developed comparatively in the
plains along the tributaries of main rivers and small plateau of the district. This type of soil area
generally low in clayey material. The area covered by the type of soil in the district is 3574.68
sq.km. and remains at 37 percentage of the total soil.

Deep black soil generally develops along the banks of the major river and main tributaries of
the river in the district it has been developed along Purna (Tapi) Nalganga, Vishwaganga,
Painganga, and Purna (Godavari) rivers. The soils contains much clayey material which
generally have nature of swelling in high degree. The black cotton soil derived from the Deccan
trap of the region are more fertile and contains rich plant elements such as lime, magnesia, Iron
and alkalis. The cropping pattern of the district is generally based upon the fertility of the soil
present in the area.
The soil in the northern tahsils viz. Jalgaon, Sangrampur, Shegaon, Nandura, Malkapur and
Motala are generally deep black formed by transported materials washed from the ghat land.
Cotton, Jawar and Groundnut etc. are the main crops grown in this area. On the plateau i.e.
remaining six tahsils areas of medium black soils and are suitable to grow cotton, Jowar, Pulses
and Bajara.

Agriculture
Most of the people of Buldhana Districtare engaged in agricultural activities as according to
Census, 2011 the percentage of cultivators is 31.60 percent and that of agricultural labourers is
49.46 percent.Thus, together they constitute 81.06 percent of the total workers of the District.
The District is divided in six subdivisions and thirteen tahsils.

There are Six Subdivisions and thirteen talukas listed as

6.0 Process of Deposition of Sediments in the rivers of the District :

Sand is replenishable. Due to sparse rainfall over the last few years the river flows to an
average height but flows to its maximum height only during and just after monsoon season.
Mining of Building Grade sand from the river bed will not have any impact on the ground water
body in the area. During heavy rains the floodwaters overflow the bank and inundate the fields
and dry regions. The floods have its own ways of depositing sand not only at the bank but also
on the dry surface region. Added to the deposition of sand on the river basin by stratification
through lateral deposition of sands on the land surface is by Differential Lateral Deposition
(DLD). The later grade is coarse, medium and fine sand to mud and soil beyond. In this soil,
agricultural operation goes on from the bank to the cultivated land surface.
The yearly deposition of sand is by natural filling during flood season with slight
variation depending upon the amount of river flow, the quantity of water flowing and the
amount of sand load carried during the river flow. The deposition pattern will be monitored
every year & measurements will be carried out as soon as the monsoon comes to an end.
Deposition rate for the year 2018-19 is monitored, calculated and mapped with the help
of technical consultant. Data for gauging of stream is mapped and enclosed below. Data for
Siltation is mapped and enclosed ..
Based on siltation rate and survey every year sand ghats are proposed for scooping of
sand and auctioned as per the State Government Policy empowered under rule 15 of Mines and
Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act 1957 and amendments thereof.

Sediment refers to the conglomerate of materials, organic and inorganic, that can be carried
away by water, wind or ice. While the term is often used to indicate soil-based, mineral matter
(e.g. clay, silt and sand), decomposing organic substances and inorganic biogenic material are

21
also considered sediment . Most mineral sediment comes from erosion and weathering, while
organic sediment is typically detritus and decomposing material such as algae.

Sediment particles come in different sizes and can be inorganic or organic in origin.

These particulates are typically small, with clay defined as particles less than 0.00195 mm in
diameter, and coarse sand reaching up only to 1.5 mm in diameter. However, during a flood or
other high flow event, even large rocks can be classified as sediment as they are carried
downstream . Sediment is a naturally occurring element in many bodies of water, though it can
be influenced by anthropogenic factors .

In an aquatic environment, sediment can either be suspended (floating in the water column) or
bedded (settled on the bottom of a body of water)

In other words water flow tries to scour its surface whenever it flows in the channel. Silt or
gravels enen larger boulders are detached from its bed or banks. The moving water sweeps
these detached particles in downstream along its flow. Silting and scouring is not very
uncommon and must be avoided by proper designs. It reduces supply level of water. The
channel section gets reduced by silt and reduces discharging capacity. Sediments seriously
threatens various projects due to silt carried out by rivers up to point of interceptions.
Sediment is also threatening denudation of forests. Sediment is a major obstruction on the flow
line . It shorten longevity of channel. It causes soil erosion. Therefore data base must be needed
for policy making and planning.
Sediments are calculated as sediment load. There are three types of sediments

Coarse Sediments Particle size above 0.2mm Water sample passing through 100/72
mesh sieve (BSS). Residue over sieve is
washed, dried and weighed It gives
coarse sediments in gm/lit
Medium Sediments Particle size ranging 0.075mm-0.2mm After removal of coarse sediments
residual water passed through 200mesh
sieve (BSS), we get medium sements
Fine Sediments Particle size less than 0.075mm Filtrate and washing residue allowed to
settle for 12hrs. About 5-10 % alum
solution is added to hasten coagulation
of colloidal silt Using Whatman Paper
no02 filter paper, residue is filtered,
dried and weighed. We will get fine
sediments in gm/lit

22
Co relation between Siltation & Sediment Load

Siltation is deposition by fine particulate terrestrial clastic material, with a particle size
dominated by silt or clay. It refers both to the increased concentration of suspended sediments,
and to the increased accumulation (temporary or permanent) of fine sediments on bottoms
where they are undesirable. Siltation is most often caused by soil erosion or sediment spill.

Sometimes siltation is called sediment pollution.


The total Sediment load includes all particles moving as bedload, suspended load, and wash load

Bedload

Bedload is the portion of sediment transport that rolls, slides or bounces along the bottom of a
waterway. This sediment is not truly suspended, as it sustains intermittent contact with the
streambed, and the movement is neither uniform nor continuous . Bedload occurs when the
force of the water flow is strong enough to overcome the weight and cohesion of the sediment
While the particles are pushed along, they typically do not move as fast as the water around
them, as the flow rate is not great enough to fully suspend them. Bedload transport can occur
during low flows (smaller particles) or at high flows (for larger particles). Approximately 5-20%
of total sediment transport is bedload . In situations where the flow rate is strong enough,
some of the smaller bedload particles can be pushed up into the water column and become
suspended.

Suspended Load

While there is often overlap, the suspended load and suspended sediment are not the same
thing. Suspended sediment are any particles found in the water column, whether the water is
flowing or not. The suspended load, on the other hand, is the amount of sediment carried
downstream within the water column by the water flow. Suspended loads require moving
water, as the water flow creates small upward currents (turbulence) that keep the particles
above the bed . The size of the particles that can be carried as suspended load is dependent on
the flow rate . Larger particles are more likely to fall through the upward currents to the
bottom, unless the flow rate increases, increasing the turbulence at the streambed. In addition,
suspended sediment will not necessarily remain suspended if the flow rate slows.

Wash Load

The wash load is a subset of the suspended load. This load is comprised of the finest suspended
sediment (typically less than 0.00195 mm in diameter). The wash load is differentiated from the
suspended load because it will not settle to the bottom of a waterway during a low or no flow
period 11. Instead, these particles remain in permanent suspension as they are small enough to
bounce off water molecules and stay afloat. However, during flow periods, the wash load and
suspended load are indistinguishable.

23
Turbidity in lakes and slow moving rivers is typically due the wash load. When the flow rate
increases (increasing the suspended load and overall sediment transport), turbidity also
increases. While turbidity cannot be used to estimate sediment transport, it can approximate
suspended sediment concentrations at a specific location.

River Dynamics (Physical)


Purna,Katepurna, Uma,Morna, Shahnur, Kapsi Rivers are in the matured stage of
development running in wide serpentine course. The river meanders with convex & concave
shape. The river in its course impinges on convex side. The concave side abounds with sand
grain. The mining operation is most profitable on the concave side.

There is yearly deposition of sand as the amount of sand excavated gets redeposit in the pits by
natural filing during flood season with slight variation depending upon the amount of river flow,
the quantity of water flowing and the amount of sand load carried during the river flow. The
deposition pattern will be monitored every year & measurements will be carried out as soon as
the monsoon comes to an end and fresh excavation will be carried.

7. General Profile of the district :

Buldhana district is located in the Amravati division of Maharashtra, India. It is situated at the
western border of Vidarbha region and is 500 km away from the state capital, Mumbai. The
district has towns and cities like Shegaon, Malkapur, Khamgaon, Lonar, Mehkar, and Chikhli. It
is surrounded by Madhya Pradesh in the north, Akola, Washim, and Amravati districts on the
east, Jalna district on the south, and Jalgaon and Aurangabad districts on the west. The district
is mainly covered in Survey of India topographic Sheet No. 55D/8 partly in 46P and 56 A & lies
between latitudes are 19.51° to 21.17° N and longitudes are 75.57° to 76.59° E. Bounded on the
north by Madhya Pradesh state, to the east by Akola and Washim, to the south by Parbhani and
Jalna districts, and to the west by Jalna and Jalgaon districts.
The district consists of six subdivisions and thirteen tahsils comprising 1444 villages. The district
Head Quarters is at Buldhana. The distances of the other major towns from Buldhana is
Aurangabad ( 180 KM ), Pune ( 425 KM ), Amravati ( 200 KM ), Nagpur ( 350 KM ). District is
bounded on the North by Khandawa District of Madhya Pradesh on the South by Parabhani
District on the west by Jalna and Jalgaon Districts and on the North East by Amravati District.

The name of the district is probably derived from Bhil Thana (place of Bhils, a tribal group).
Buldhana holds religious significance as it is the site of the Shri Gajanan Maharaj temple,
Shegaon. This district is a major tourist attraction owing to the ancient Lonar crater (second
largest in the world), declared a world heritage. Shegaon of Gajanan Maharaj Sailanibaba's
Dargah are the major places of pilgrimage. Sindakhedraja in this district is renowned to be
birthplace of Rajmata Jeejabai.

National Highway 6 - NH6 passes through Khamgaon, Nandura, and Malkapur towns in the
district.
The principal rivers in the district are Painganga and Purna. The district forms part of Godavari
and Tapi basin. Purna and Penganga Rivers are the main rivers flowing through the district. The
other important river are the khandakpurna, Nalganga, Vishwaganga, Gyanganga and
Banganga. The principal tributaries of purna are Nalganga, Vishwaganga and Gyanganga from
the south. There are two medium irrigation project of the river Nalganga and Gyanganga in the
district. The total area of the district is 9661 Sq. Kms. which is about 3.14% of the total area of
Maharashtra State.

Major part of the district is covered by basaltic lava flows of upper Cretaceous to lower Eocene
age. The Deccan lava sequence is grouped under Satpura group in the northern part whereas in
southern part it is grouped under Sahyadri group.
The northern part of the district on either side of Purna River is underlain by thick Alluvial
deposits of Pleistocene to Recent age and is termed as Purna Alluvium. The Alluvium is also
observed in a small patch southwest of Malkapur and east of Khamgaon along the boundaries
of district
There are Six Subdivisions and thirteen talukas in Buldhana District.

9.0 Physiography of the District :

Physiographycally the district is divided in to two separate parts viz., the southern part of the
district forms a table land having a elevation ranging from 292 m to 687m; the northern part of
the district is a plain & having a elevation ranging from 246m to 259m ; the average height of
the district being 363 m above m.s.l.

The Ajanta range divides the geographical area into two distinct zones;

The Tapi-Purna river belt region covering 7 Tahasils to the north namely Malkapur,
Nandura, Khamgaon, Jalgaon Jamod, Sangrampur, Motala, Shegaon

The other region comprising 6 Tahasils of Buldhana, Chikhali, Mehakar, Deulgaon Raja,
Sindakhed Raja, Lonar to the south of the Ajanta range.

The Satpura range having a NNE-SSW direction runs through northern part of Jalgaon Jamod
and Sangrampur Tahasils.

The two hilly ranges of southern part are named as southern & central belt. The central belt
runs NW-SE for near about 64km. & turn to EW for 26km. The southern belt of the hill ranges
extend from Dhad to Lonar in NW-SE direction for 103 km distance.

The world famous Lonar Crater considered to be more than 50,000 years old , is present in
Buldhana district and is soon to be developed as a tourist spot.

The physiography forms four major type of land form viz.,

11.00 Geology and Mineral Wealth:
Geologically there are no major mineral ores. Some kinds of salts and lead are observed in
Lonar crater but not commercially exploited.

The major rock is Basalt hence the major soil type is Regur or Black cotton soil predominantly in
Jalgaon Jamod, Sangrampur, Nandura, Shegaon, Malkapur, Khamgaon areas.
Deccan trap covered 80% of the total area of the district and 20% area is covered by alluvium.
All the talukas except Jalgaon Jamod, Sangrampur and part of Shegaon. Talukas are covered by
Deccan trap.

The trap is classified in, the following categories.

1) Weathered basalt of all types.


2) Fractured & Jointed basalt.
3) Vesicular geologic basalt.
4) Compact massive basalt.

In basalt ground water occurs in joints, fractured & other zone of weakens, which serve as loci
for the accumulation of groundwater. The density of joint, fractured, vascular in the Deccan
trap, controls percolation of ground water.

The flow are separated by a tine gap deposition which is known an intertrappens. In the district
redboles occur as a major intertrapean, which play very distinct role in the local behaviour of
groundwater.

Deccan Traps.—The trap covers a major part of the district and is characterised by basalt lava
flows which are generally dark grey, hard and compact. The tops of individual flows are usually
vesicular and zeolitic whilst the middle zone is fairly compact and non-zeolitic. Amygdalloidal,
porphyritic, or glomeroporphyritic textures are noticed locally. The vesicles are filled by
secondary minerals like zeolites, quartz, calcite or some earthy or ferruginous material. Well
developed columnar joints and spheroidal weathering are characteristic features of the massive
basalts. Weathered zeolitised traps occur in the river beds and bluish grey, soft volcanic ash
beds are encountered locally. The basalts are composed of laths of plagioclase felspars
(andesine to labradorite), augite, pigeonite, glass, and minor amounts of opaque ores.

Brief Introduction of Buldhana district :

Buldhana district is located in the Amravati division of Maharashtra, India. It is situated at the
western border of Vidarbha region and is 500 km away from the state capital, Mumbai. The
district has towns and cities like Shegaon, Malkapur, Khamgaon, Lonar, Mehkar, and Chikhli. It
is surrounded by Madhya Pradesh in the north, Akola, Washim, and Amravati districts on the
east, Jalna district on the south, and Jalgaon and Aurangabad districts on the west. The district
is mainly covered in Survey of India topographic Sheet No. 55D/8 partly in 46P and 56 A & lies
between latitudes are 19.51° to 21.17° N and longitudes are 75.57° to 76.59° E. Bounded on the
north by Madhya Pradesh state, to the east by Akola and Washim, to the south by Parbhani and
Jalna districts, and to the west by Jalna and Jalgaon districts.
The district consists of six subdivisions and thirteen tahsils comprising 1444 villages. The district
Head Quarters is at Buldhana. The distances of the other major towns from Buldhana is
Aurangabad ( 180 KM ), Pune ( 425 KM ), Amravati ( 200 KM ), Nagpur ( 350 KM ). District is
bounded on the North by Khandawa District of Madhya Pradesh on the South by Parabhani
District on the west by Jalna and Jalgaon Districts and on the North East by Amravati District.

The name of the district is probably derived from Bhil Thana (place of Bhils, a tribal group).
Buldhana holds religious significance as it is the site of the Shri Gajanan Maharaj temple,
Shegaon. This district is a major tourist attraction owing to the ancient Lonar crater (second
largest in the world), declared a world heritage. Shegaon of Gajanan Maharaj Sailanibaba's
Dargah are the major places of pilgrimage. Sindakhedraja in this district is renowned to be
birthplace of Rajmata Jeejabai.

National Highway 6 - NH6 passes through Khamgaon, Nandura, and Malkapur towns in the
district.
The principal rivers in the district are Painganga and Purna. The district forms part of Godavari
and Tapi basin. Purna and Penganga Rivers are the main rivers flowing through the district. The
other important river are the khandakpurna, Nalganga, Vishwaganga, Gyanganga and
Banganga. The principal tributaries of purna are Nalganga, Vishwaganga and Gyanganga from
the south. There are two medium irrigation project of the river Nalganga and Gyanganga in the
district. The total area of the district is 9661 Sq. Kms. which is about 3.14% of the total area of
Maharashtra State.

70
Major part of the district is covered by basaltic lava flows of upper Cretaceous to lower Eocene
age. The Deccan lava sequence is grouped under Satpura group in the northern part whereas in
southern part it is grouped under Sahyadri group.
The northern part of the district on either side of Purna River is underlain by thick Alluvial
deposits of Pleistocene to Recent age and is termed as Purna Alluvium. The Alluvium is also
observed in a small patch southwest of Malkapur and east of Khamgaon along the boundaries
of district

Drainage

The Penganga, is the principal river of the district ; the other important rivers are Purna,
Khadakpurna, Nalganga, Vishwaganga, Gyanganga and Banganga,.
The Penganga rises in the Hills near Deulghat, runs in a south-easterly direction East Mehakar
then enters the Akola district. Most of the part of Chikhali and Mehakar tahasils. Fall within the
drainage of the Penganga. The portion of the river which lies in this district is almost dry in the
hot weather.
The Khadak Purna or Lower Purna rises in the Ajanta hills to the West of the district, which
enters a little to the north of Deulgaon Raja and traverses the Sindkhed Raja tahasil in a south
east direction for a distance of about 50kms. It does hot flow in the hot weather.
Penganga and Khadak Purna are important rivers of the Godavari basin, but they do not acquire
their importance till they leave the district.
Purna is only the perennial stream in the plains, rises in the south facing scarps of Gawilgad hills
in the district and has a pretty dense network of tributaries.
Its principal tributaries within the district are Nalganga, Vishwaganga and Gyanganga from the
south and Banganga from the north.
Nalganga rising in the hills near Deulghat runs to North and join Purna near Narval.
Vishwaganga rises at Buldana itself.
Dyanganga rises in the table lands north of the valley of the Penganga and run part Nandura
before join the Purna.
Banganga rises in the Melghat to the north of Jalgaon Jamod tahasil and flows south ward to
meet the Purna.

All these rivers have a sub parallel to sub-dendritic drainage pattern which is structurally
controlled by bed rock formed by Deccan trap.

Generally 42% of southern and eastern part of our district is occupied by Penganga and
Khadakpurna river area these are tributaries of river Godavari with the remaining part comes
under Purna and its tributaries.

Geomorphology for the district is skerched as below

71
Climate
The district gets rain from south west Monsoons. The rainfall period is from June to September.
However rain generally falls in the months of June and July upto the end of October.
The district falls under the assured rainfall zone and average rainfall ranging from 500 to 900
mm.
The climate of the Buldhana district is generally dry and hot except during monsoon , Buldhana
town itself i.e. district headquarters has a comparatively cool weather and is considered to be
the most pleasant place in district .
The general climate of the district is characterised by Hot and Dry summers and cold winters
with the seasonal variation in the temperature being pretty large.
Hailstorms are common during February to April and also during the post monsoon period from
November to January.

Temperature :
Temperature is one of the most influential climatic factors, which affects the distribution of
agricultural crops and plants. Temperature regulates all the chemical and physiological
processes of plant metabolism. The metabolic processes begin at a certain minimum
temperature and increase with rise of temperature until they reach optimum temperature.
Further, the metabolic activity slows down until it ceases at a temperature called maximum.
These are called cordial temperature points. The cordial limits of cold season crops are 0-50C,

72
22-270C, and 30-370C and for hot season crops are 15-180C, 30-350C, and 44-550C
respectively. Chilling injury is caused when temperature goes below the minimum and
desiccation is caused when temperature goes above the maximum.Temperature conditions
have been far less erratic from year to year than rainfall conditions in each agricultural region.

Natural Economic Resources


Deccan Traps cover a major part of the District. Trap rocks are very hard and compact and are
dark grey in colour. Trap rocks being dense, hard and compact are extensively used as building
stones, road metal, railway ballast and as an aggregate in cement concrete. Erosive agents and
weathering together have formed good fertile soils near the river beds. Only a few deposits of
Agate (Semiprecious Stones) reported to be occurring in the district

Forestry

About 840.66 Sq KM of area was under forest which constituted 8.70% of the total area.
Forest resources contribute significantly to the economy of the district. Forest area is located in
Gavilgad Hills in the north and Agentha hills in the south of Buldhana district. Dense forest is
observed in Buldhana, Khamgaon and Jalgaon Jamod talukas. The resources are Timber wood,
fuel wood, Tendu Patta, Gum, Grass etc.

life sanctuary. This has been published in Government Gazette dated 20th May 1997. The forest
area of Dnyanganga sanctuary is 20356.6 Hactares.

Amba barawa wild life sanctuary


Northern most part of Buldana district, which is in Sangrampur Tahasil in Satpuda Range has
been declare as wild life sanctuary. The forest area of Ambabarwa is 12711.42 Ha.

Dudhaneshwar Sanctuary
The area around the Girada Padli villages has been proposed by forest office for declaring it as a
wild life sanctury. This area is of 2800 hectares.

Minerals and mining

The trap covers a major part of the district and is characterised by basalt lava flows which are
generally dark grey, hard and compact. The tops of individual flows are usually vesicular and
zeolitic whilst the middle zone is fairly compact and non-zeolitic. Amygdalloidal, porphyritic, or
glomeroporphyritic textures are noticed locally. The vesicles are filled by secondary minerals
like zeolites, quartz, calcite or some earthy or ferruginous material. Well developed columnar
joints and spheroidal weathering are characteristic features of the massive basalts. Weathered
zeolitised traps occur in the river beds and bluish grey, soft volcanic ash beds are encountered
locally. Trap rock being hard, dense and durable is most suitable for building purposes but it
barren of any economically important minerals. Sodium chloride is found along the entire belt
of the Purna River. The basalts are composed of laths of plagioclase felspars (andesine to
labradorite), augite, pigeonite, glass, and minor amounts of opaque ores. Mostly basalt is used
as building grade stone for infrastructural and civil work.

Soil and Cropping pattern

There are three major soil types in this district, locally called as Bharkali, morand and Barad.
Morand soils are silt and lime mixed heavy in texture and blackish one suitable for cotton
growing. Black soil is also found in Chikhli and Mehkar area but the depth of Top soil being very
low hence suitable for wheat growing. Sandy soils are locally called as Barad, percentage of
sand is more than silt and clay hence light in nature hence identified as light soils. These are
very poor fertile soil types than morand. Constitute the physical basis of all agricultural
practices. The infiltration and transmission of moisture through soil depends upon the particle
size, amount of organic mater in the soil depth. These factors are also depend upon the
approach of soil for the saturation its swollen capacity and individual physical properties.

From the physical properties of the soil in the district it can be divided into

1) Coarse shallow soil


2) Medium black soil and

74
3) Deep black soil

Coarse shallow soil covers the high lands in district. The depth of such
soil remains very lese. The infiltration is much less in these type of soils and run off is more. This
type covers an area of 4564.72 Sq. Km. Medium blacksoil is developed comparatively in the
plains along the tributaries of main rivers and small plateau of the district. This type of soil area
generally low in clayey material. The area covered by the type of soil in the district is 3574.68
sq.km. and remains at 37 percentage of the total soil.

Deep black soil generally develops along the banks of the major river and main tributaries of
the river in the district it has been developed along Purna (Tapi) Nalganga, Vishwaganga,
Painganga, and Purna (Godavari) rivers. The soils contains much clayey material which
generally have nature of swelling in high degree. The black cotton soil derived from the Deccan
trap of the region are more fertile and contains rich plant elements such as lime, magnesia, Iron
and alkalis. The cropping pattern of the district is generally based upon the fertility of the soil
present in the area.
The soil in the northern tahsils viz. Jalgaon, Sangrampur, Shegaon, Nandura, Malkapur and
Motala are generally deep black formed by transported materials washed from the ghat land.
Cotton, Jawar and Groundnut etc. are the main crops grown in this area. On the plateau i.e.
remaining six tahsils areas of medium black soils and are suitable to grow cotton, Jowar, Pulses
and Bajara.

Agriculture
Most of the people of Buldhana Districtare engaged in agricultural activities as according to
Census, 2011 the percentage of cultivators is 31.60 percent and that of agricultural labourers is
49.46 percent.Thus, together they constitute 81.06 percent of the total workers of the District.
The District is divided in six subdivisions and thirteen tahsils.

3. General Profile of the district :

Buldhana district is located in the Amravati division of Maharashtra, India. It is situated at the
western border of Vidarbha region and is 500 km away from the state capital, Mumbai. The
district has towns and cities like Shegaon, Malkapur, Khamgaon, Lonar, Mehkar, and Chikhli. It
is surrounded by Madhya Pradesh in the north, Akola, Washim, and Amravati districts on the
east, Jalna district on the south, and Jalgaon and Aurangabad districts on the west. The district
is mainly covered in Survey of India topographic Sheet No. 55D/8 partly in 46P and 56 A & lies
between latitudes are 19.51° to 21.17° N and longitudes are 75.57° to 76.59° E. Bounded on the
north by Madhya Pradesh state, to the east by Akola and Washim, to the south by Parbhani and
Jalna districts, and to the west by Jalna and Jalgaon districts.
The district consists of six subdivisions and thirteen tahsils comprising 1444 villages. The district
Head Quarters is at Buldhana. The distances of the other major towns from Buldhana is
Aurangabad ( 180 KM ), Pune ( 425 KM ), Amravati ( 200 KM ), Nagpur ( 350 KM ). District is
bounded on the North by Khandawa District of Madhya Pradesh on the South by Parabhani
District on the west by Jalna and Jalgaon Districts and on the North East by Amravati District.
The name of the district is probably derived from Bhil Thana (place of Bhils, a tribal group).

The principal rivers in the district are Painganga and Purna. The district forms part of Godavari
and Tapi basin. Purna and Penganga Rivers are the main rivers flowing through the district. The
other important river are the khandakpurna, Nalganga, Vishwaganga, Gyanganga and
Banganga. The principal tributaries of purna are Nalganga, Vishwaganga and Gyanganga from
the south. There are two medium irrigation project of the river Nalganga and Gyanganga in the
district. The total area of the district is 9661 Sq. Kms. which is about 3.14% of the total area of
Maharashtra State.
Physiographycally the district is divided in to two separate parts viz., the southern part of the
district forms a table land having a elevation ranging from 292 m to 687m; the northern part of
the district is a plain & having a elevation ranging from 246m to 259m ; the average height of
the district being 363 m above m.s.l.
The Ajanta range divides the geographical area into two distinct zones;
The Tapi-Purna river belt region covering 7 Tahasils to the north namely Malkapur,
Nandura, Khamgaon, Jalgaon Jamod, Sangrampur, Motala, Shegaon
The other region comprising 6 Tahasils of Buldhana, Chikhali, Mehakar, Deulgaon Raja,
Sindakhed Raja, Lonar to the south of the Ajanta range.
The Satpura range having a NNE-SSW direction runs through northern part of Jalgaon Jamod
and Sangrampur Tahasils.
The two hilly ranges of southern part are named as southern & central belt. The central belt
runs NW-SE for near about 64km. & turn to EW for 26km. The southern belt of the hill ranges
extend from Dhad to Lonar in NW-SE direction for 103 km distance.
The world famous Lonar Crater considered to be more than 50,000 years old , is present in
Buldhana district and is soon to be developed as a tourist spot.
The physiography forms four major type of land form viz.,
i. The hill and (ghatsection)
ii. The foot hill ones

81
iii. The plateaus and
iv. The plains.

Geologically there are no major mineral ores. Some kinds of salts and lead are observed in
Lonar crater but not commercially exploited.

The major rock is Basalt hence the major soil type is Regur or Black cotton soil predominantly in
Jalgaon Jamod, Sangrampur, Nandura, Shegaon, Malkapur, Khamgaon areas.
Deccan trap covered 80% of the total area of the district and 20% area is covered by alluvium.
All the talukas except Jalgaon Jamod, Sangrampur and part of Shegaon. Talukas are covered by
Deccan trap.

The trap is classified in, the following categories.

1) Weathered basalt of all types.


2) Fractured & Jointed basalt.
3) Vesicular geologic basalt.
4) Compact massive basalt.

In basalt ground water occurs in joints, fractured & other zone of weakens, which serve as loci
for the accumulation of groundwater. The density of joint, fractured, vascular in the Deccan
trap, controls percolation of ground water.

Drainage

The Penganga, is the principal river of the district ; the other important rivers are Purna,
Khadakpurna, Nalganga, Vishwaganga, Gyanganga and Banganga,.

The Penganga rises in the Hills near Deulghat, runs in a south-easterly direction East Mehakar
then enters the Akola district. Most of the part of Chikhali and Mehakar tahasils. Fall within the
drainage of the Penganga. The portion of the river which lies in this district is almost dry in the
hot weather.

The Khadak Purna or Lower Purna rises in the Ajanta hills to the West of the district, which
enters a little to the north of Deulgaon Raja and traverses the Sindkhed Raja tahasil in a south
east direction for a distance of about 50kms. It does hot flow in the hot weather.

Penganga and Khadak Purna are important rivers of the Godavari basin, but they do not acquire
their importance till they leave the district.

Purna is only the perennial stream in the plains, rises in the south facing scarps of Gawilgad hills
in the district and has a pretty dense network of tributaries.

87
Its principal tributaries within the district are Nalganga, Vishwaganga and Gyanganga from the
south and Banganga from the north.

Nalganga rising in the hills near Deulghat runs to North and join Purna near Narval.

Vishwaganga rises at Buldana itself.

Dyanganga rises in the table lands north of the valley of the Penganga and run part Nandura
before join the Purna.

Banganga rises in the Melghat to the north of Jalgaon Jamod tahasil and flows south ward to
meet the Purna.

All these rivers have a sub parallel to sub-dendritic drainage pattern which is structurally
controlled by bed rock formed by Deccan trap.

Generally 42% of southern and eastern part of our district is occupied by Penganga and
Khadakpurna river area these are tributaries of river Godavari with the remaining part comes
under Purna and its tributaries.

7.2 Ground Water Scenario :

District is in “SAFE” Category from Ground Water Development point of view. Detailed Ground
Water Scenario for the district is discussed below

Hydrogeology
Major part of the district is covered by basaltic lava flows of upper Cretaceous to lower Eocene
age. The Deccan lava sequence is grouped under Satpura group in the northern part whereas in
southern part it is grouped under Sahyadri group.
Deccan Trap Basalt forms an important water bearing formation of the district. The disposition
of vesicular unit and massive unit of different lava flows has given rise to multi layered aquifer
system. The water bearing capacity of Vesicular Basalt largely depends upon size and shape of
vesicles, density of vesicles and the degree of inter connection of vesicles. Massive Basalt
generally does not possess primary porosity. However, Massive Basalt, which is fractured,
jointed and weathered posses’ water bearing capacity. Degree of weathering and topographic
setting also plays a major role in respect of productivity. In Basalt, ground water occurs both in
Vesicular and Massive Basalt as well as inter flow zones in weathered mantle, fractured zones.
In general ground water occurs under water table conditions in shallow aquifer and semi-
confined to confined conditions in deeper aquifer. The unconfined aquifer is developed due to
the weathering and jointing of upper flow in Basalt down to depth of 15-20 mbgl.

95
Hydrogeology of District Buldhana

Depth to Water Level – Premonsoon

The depth to water level in the district ranges between 3.0 (Karand) and 22.9 m bgl (Dighi).
Shallow water levels, within 10 m bgl are seen in major part of the central and southern areas
of the district, i.e., in major parts of Deulgaon Raja, Sindkhed Raja, Lonar, Buldhana, Chikhali,
Khamgaon and Motala talukas. Water levels of 10-20 mbgl are observed in major northern
Alluvial part of the district i.e., in major parts of Sangrampur, Jalgaon (Jamod), and Nandura
talukas and south eatern part of the district in Mahkar Taluk..Deeper water levels of more than

96
20 m bgl are observed in restricted northwestern part of the district in parts of Nandura taluka.
Thus water levels through out the district are within 20 m bgl.

Depth to Water Level – Postmonsoon

The depth to water level during postmonsoon ranges between 0..55 m bgl (Sindkhed Raja) and
27.0 m bgl (Kingaon Raja).
Shallow water levels within 10 m bgl occupy almost entire district in south and central parts.
Water levels between 10 and 20 m bgl are observed in north western Alluvial areas of the
district, occupying major parts of Malkapur, Nandura and Jalgaon (Jamod) talukas and southern
parts of Sangrampur and and northern part of Shegaon talukas.

The stage of ground water development varies from 30.54% (Mlakapur) to 104.60% (Jalgaon).
The overall stage of ground water development for the district is 63.4%. As per estimation,
Jalgaon (Jamod) taluka falls in “Over-Exploited” category, Motala (75.66%) in “Semi-Critical”
category whereas remaining 11 talukas fall in “Safe” category.

21. Impact on the Environment (Air, Water, Noise Soil, Flora & Fauna, Land Use, agriculture,
forest etc.) due to mining activity :

Air Environment : Anticipated Impacts


Stone/metal mining is carried out by opencast manual method. The air borne particulate
matter generated by mining and handling operations, transportation and screening of stone
chips at crusher is the main air pollutant. The emissions of Sulphur dioxide (SO 2), Oxides of
Nitrogen (NOX) contributed by tractor trolley. As the number of trips of tractor trolley are less,
the pollutant levels are well within prescribed limits . Prediction of impacts on air environment
has been carried out taking into consideration proposed production and net increase in
emissions. Air pollution sources in the operating mine are classified into three categories

a. Point sources
b. Area sources
c. Line sources
 Drilling & Blasting and crusher operations of the mine are considered as point sources
 As the cumulative impacts for cluster of stone quarries are to be considered, thus the
cluster of stone mines is described as area sources
 Transportation of stone chips from mining pit to crusher is considered as line sources
The other source of air pollution is the dust generated during the movement of tractor trolley.
Water tankers with spraying arrangement will be used for regular water sprinkling on the haul
roads to ensure effective dust suppression. The tractor trolley are well maintained so that
exhaust smoke does not contribute abnormal values of noxious gases and un-burnt
hydrocarbons.

Noise Environment : Anticipated Impacts:

The main sources of noise in the mine are classified as follows:


 Transportation Vehicles/tractor trolley
 Drilling & Blasting
 Crushing & Screening
Exposure of Noise may lead to hearing losses and may impact of mental health of Workers
working in the vicinity.

117
Water Environment : Anticipated Impacts:

Mining activities cause adverse impacts due to mine drainage and siltation due to storm water.
The impact on water environment has been considered under the following heads:

 Water consumption
 Mine seepage and impact on ground water
 Impact on surface water bodies
 Storm water management
Soil Environment : Anticipated Impacts

Most of the stone quarries are operated at the barren area where outcrops of basalt are
exposed having very thin layer of soil and overburden. This soil is removed and stacked
separately for plantation around peripheral area of 7.5 m.

Land Use :

These stone quarries are very small in area. After removal of stone these abandoned quarries
are used as water tank for irrigation purpose by lessee.

Forest :

No quarry is permitted within district within 250m of forest boundary and within 10 km buffer
area of Eco Sensitive Area.

22. Remedial measures to mitigate the impact of mining on Environment:

Remedial measures to mitigate air environment

 Dust suppression arrangements like water tankers on haulage road and at all dust
generation points
 Dust extractors during crushing/ screening
 Grading of haul roads time to time and cleaning to remove the accumulated dusty
material
 Regular maintenance of the tractor trolley.
 Practicing wet drilling.

118
 Controlled blasting using delay detonators.
 Usage of sharp drill bits for drilling of holes
 Avoiding of overloading of 10T tippers and covering of loaded tippers with tarpaulins
during stone chip transportation
 Dust mask provision to workers
 Adequate barrier zone will be maintained all along the mine lease boundary and green
belt will be maintained in the barrier zone
 Periodical monitoring of air quality to take steps to control the pollutants

Remedial measures to mitigate noise environment:


The operations of the mining equipment, plying of tractor trolley and mine machinery like drill
operations are the major sources of undesirable noise in the proposed project area.
The following control measures are proposed for bringing down the noise levels-
 The vibration due to blasting is minimized by careful planning, supervision and execution
of each blast and using milli-second(M.S) delay detonators and proper stemming to
prevent blow out of holes
 Green belt will be made around the working areas to screen the noise and also for
arresting fugitive dust
 Maintenance and tuning of machinery would be ensured to reduce undesirable noise
 Earplugs and earmuffs will be provided to the workmen
 Limiting the speed of haulage tractor
 Rubber lining in the chutes of Crushing/ screening plant

Remedial measures to mitigate water environment:

The only pollution anticipated in the surface drainage water is the suspended solids, due to
wash off. For this purpose retaining wall with garland drain is proposed. The discharge from this
drain is diverted to a settling tank unused pit workings, which allows the sediments to settle.
Further to arrest the silted drainage entering into the area down below, check dams and gully
plugs shall be erected in the existing natural drains. These check dams also assist in the
recharge of ground water system.

119
Deliberate attempt has been made to collect this in to a garden drain. This water will be
available for uses integrated above. Percolation losses will be negligible.
23. Reclamation of Mined Out Area (best practice already implemented in the district,
requirement as per rules and regulations , proposed reclamation plan)

As per Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction & Development Rule 2013,quarry after
exhaustion of mineral and on abandonment , the pit be used as a water tank or be used for fish
culture or be used for Municipal solid waste dump yard.

As per requirement of Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction & Development Rule 2013 every
stone quarry after exhaustion of minerals will plan Final Mine Closure Plan with the approval of
Directorate of Geology and Mining GoM and abandon the stone quarry as per method of
approval within time frame prescribed and approved by authority.

In the district, till date no mine for stone is abandoned and Final Closure Work is not worked
out yet. Details area as

24. Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan :

Risk Assessment

The proposed project involves Stone mining through semi mechanized opencast mining. The
anticipated risks are mentioned below:

Inundation
There is no chance of inundation of mine pits from surface waters such as rivers or nalas as it is
situated a long away from river.
The lease hold area is located in the Buldhana district of Maharashtra and the area in general
receives appreciable amount of rain fall, which is in the range of 500- 900mm (annual average).
Pit slope & dump slope failures
Mining is restricted to an average depth of 18 m from surface levels. No permanent dumps are
proposed.
Blasting
Controlled blasting using delay detonators is proposed

120
Surface Fire
There are no ignitable materials in Basalt deposit. Sufficient fire extinguishers of suitable type
and make will be made available at strategic locations in the mine lease area to control any
fire/explosion incident.
Dust from the screening & crushing operations
The hazard is the inhalation of dust which is created during the screening & crushing operations
which may result in the various respiratory diseases to the workers. While it is not presently
possible to totally remove the hazard, properly applied control measures can substantially
reduce the risk.

The dust generated during the screening & crushing operations can be controlled by providing
proper enclosure to the plant area and by installing rain guns at transfer points inside the plant.
Water sprinkling at the crushing and screening plant units also forms an effective measure of
controlling dust generation. Provision of green belt surrounding the plant area will further
suppress the spread of airborne dust to the surrounding atmosphere. The workers engaged in
these operations will be provided with dusk masks.
Noise
Loading, screening & crushing operations give rise to harmful levels of noise.
Noise generated by screening & crushing can be well controlled by providing enclosure and the
green belt. The workers engaged will be provided with ear muffs.

The noise created is harmful to anyone who is within a zone around screening & crushing
machines at which the noise level is above that considered to be safe for persons to work
without having to use control measures. Therefore wherever necessary, the workers engaged
will be provided with ear muffs.

The noise levels around screening & crushing equipment should be measured and the risk
assessed. Unless control measures are in place no-one, except those necessary for the work in
hand, should be allowed inside the designated noisy area.

In most cases this will be the operators. The risk is highest at older machines. Newer large
machines are provided with sound insulated systems which control the noise levels to
acceptable levels.

Other control measures will include training operators and providing them with ear protection,
although the later should only be seen as an interim precaution until a permanent solution can
be found.

121
The risk is very high when no control measures are provided. However if all the control
measures specified as above are provided the risk will be low.
Loading
The main hazard associated with loading is the Mineral falling on to the loading labour/tractor,
tractor toppling over due to uneven ground, failure of hydraulic systems. Good housekeeping
practices, regular cleaning of the haulage roads and regular maintenance of the tractors,
loading operations under supervision of competent persons, etc will be done to avoid such
accidents.
Heavy Vehicles
Tractor used for excavation and loading and 20 tonne dumpers used for mineral and waste
transport are the major heavy vehicles in the proposed mine. The main hazards arising from the
use of such machines are incompetent drivers, brake failure, lack of all around visibility from
the drivers position, access to the cab, vehicle movements particularly reversing, roll over,
vibration, noise, dust and maintenance. Those most at risk are the driver and company
employees likely to be struck by the vehicle, and drivers of smaller vehicles, which cannot be
seen from the cabs of large vehicles. Visibility defects can be reduced by the use of visibility aids
such rear view mirrors.

Good maintenance and regular testing are necessary to reduce the possibility of brake failure.
An area shall be set out as a testing area where regular tests are carried out on the
effectiveness of a vehicles braking system.

Protection guards will be provided for moving parts of the equipment and handling heavy
components during maintenance work.
Those most at risk will be the users of the system, vehicle operators and also company
employees working in such areas may also be at risk.
Explosives
No magazine is within lease hold area. Contractual blasting is proposed.
House keeping
The provision and maintenance of a safe and healthy workplace is the most basic principle of
health and safety. Dirty and untidy workplaces or walkways contribute to a very large
proportion of trip and fall accidents. In the context of surface mining the provision of well
defined roadways and walkways clear of obstruction and regular cleaning up of spillage will
greatly reduce the potential risk for this type of accidents. Lack of maintenance may lead to
roadways and walkways being unsuitable for use.
The Work
The application of risk assessment depends upon a full understanding of all aspects of the job
being undertaken. In carrying out a risk assessment in relation to a particular task the

122
evaluation must include a review of the knowledge, experience and training of those persons
carrying out the work.
Personal Competence
It follows that the knowledge, experience and training of personnel involved in work is critical
to evaluate any risk assessment. A knowledgeable, experienced well-trained and competently
supervised workforce will be at a lower risk of accidents occurring than a poorly trained and
badly supervised workforce. For this purpose all the supervisory and managerial staff qualified
under MMR 1957 shall only be employed.
Co-ordination
A competent person should be given the responsibility for overseeing and coordinating work as
required under the MMMEDR 2013. It is essential that the coordinator ensures that everyone
engaged in the work is capable and understands the role of others and their responsibility for
each other. This is particularly important when contract workers undertake part or all of the
work to be carried out.
Equipments
The prerequisite for the risk assessment is that equipments are suitable for the work being
undertaken and have been designed, manufactured and installed to at least the minimum
standards for health and safety.
Failure to meet the standard will result in people being at higher risk and remedial steps have
to be implemented to compensate the shortfall. Other interim arrangements should be
implemented to protect any persons exposed to latent danger. Maintenance of plant and
equipment to agreed specification, whether original or upgraded to the latest health and safety
standards, is essential.
Dangerous parts of machinery
Parts of machinery such as revolving parts, in running nips and entrapment between
reciprocating parts as defined in European and National standards should be protected meeting
those standards.
Health hazards
For the purposes of this document health hazards should be interpreted as being harmful dust
and noise which is emitted during surface mining operations, as well as the handling of heavy
loads.
While complete elimination and often suppression at source is not practicable, in many cases,
the normal threshold values of health standards should be made applicable.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The PPE should be of good construction, where ever possible ISI certified, suitable for the
hazard e.g. a dust respirator fitted with the correct filter to capture the particular hazardous
dust and maintained to recommended standards. As personal protective equipment only
affords limited protection it should only be used as a last resort and then as an interim

123
arrangement until other steps are taken to reduce the risk of personal injury to an acceptable
level.
Traffic Movement
The traffic movement should only take place within designated areas and over suitable
roadways. Adopting one way traffic movement systems are preferred to two directional traffic
systems. The risk of accidents due to traffic movement is much less with a one way traffic.
Whenever mineral is mined the first step in winning the product is the preparation of the site.
The four main stages in the site preparation are:
1. Planning
2. Surveying
3. Clearing of site
4. Laying out
Planning
The risk of injuries can be significantly reduced if sufficient regard is given to health and safety
at the planning stage of a new or developing mine.
Using trained drivers can largely eliminate the danger of being struck by large moving vehicles
and providing the vehicles with suitable appliances, such as aids to ensure the driver has all
round visibility. Designing and implementing one-way traffic systems and ensuring that open
edges of roadways are suitably protected with parapet wall to prevent accidental driving off the
edge can further reduce the danger. Additionally, ensuring that the vehicles are properly
maintained in good working condition, particularly the braking system will go a long way to help
the driver control the vehicle. Well-designed access and working platforms will also reduce the
possibility of a fall.
Surveying
Surveying has its hazards, for example surveyors are likely to be seriously injured if they fall
from heights or are thrown out of overturning vehicles. Since the hazards are created by ground
formation it is unlikely that they can be removed.

Those normally at risk would be the surveying team of the surveyor and assistants. Individuals
working at the edge of vertical face or on very steep undulating ground are at greater risk than
those working on level ground. Driving over steep rough terrain is more dangerous than driving
over gentle slopes. It is necessary to give clear positive instruction and ensure vehicles used to
gain access to the areas to be surveyed are well maintained and suitable for the terrain over
which access is to be gained.

Clearance
Clearance covers all the activities associated with preparing a site ready for laying out primary
roads for working a face. The primary hazards are being struck by falling trees and debris from

124
demolition of buildings, use of power saws, equipment used in the removal of the top layers of
earth and trucks used to convey it to storage areas, and the possibility of being struck by trucks.

The hazards are created in clearing the site. While the clearing of the site cannot be avoided
adopting the safest methods to carry out the work can control hazards. For example, fully
trained persons should be used in tree felling operations. Well-maintained fully protected
power saws should be used and the operatives should wear full personal protection e.g. safety
helmets, ear defenders, face shields, gloves, full protection for legs (trousers) and boots.

Laying out
There are many different ways of opening and development of mines but careful planning
particularly concerning the mine layout will reduce hazards. Well maintained equipment is
essential to reduce the risk of injuries.

If suitable equipment is not used, for example if poor and badly constructed scaffolding is used
there is a much higher probability of persons falling from heights or the scaffolding collapsing
than if good properly constructed scaffolding is used.

To reduce the risk of injuries while using large earth moving equipment and vehicles the
equipment drivers and those giving signals should be well trained. The lack of training and
competence in the use of such equipment is the biggest cause of such type of accidents.

25. Disaster Management Plan

The following natural/industrial hazards may occur during normal operation.


 Inundation of mine pit due to flood/excessive rains;
 Slope failure of pits
 Accident due to explosives;
 Accident due to heavy mining equipment; and

In order to take care of above hazard/disasters, the following control measures have been
adopted.
 Checking and regular maintenance of garland drains and earthen bunds to avoid any
inflow of surface water in the pit
 Provision of suitable pumps for pumping out water from the pit during heavy rains
 Entry of unauthorized persons is prohibited
 Fire fighting and first-aid provisions in the mines office complex and mining area

125
 Provisions of all the safety appliances such as safety boot, helmets, goggles etc. are
made available to the employees and regular check for their use
 Training and refresher courses for all the employees working in hazardous premises
 Working of mine, as per approved plans and regularly updating the mine plans
 Cleaning of mine faces is regularly done
 Regular maintenance and testing of all mining equipment as per manufacturer’s
guidelines
 Suppression of dust on the haulage roads
 Increasing the awareness of safety and disaster through competitions, posters and other
similar drives

The management is able to deal with the situation efficiently to reduce confusion keeping in
view of the likely sources of danger in the mine.

Out Line Of Disaster Management Plan

The purpose of disaster management plan is to restore the normalcy for early resumption of
mining operation due to an unexpected, sudden occurrence resulting to abnormalities in the
course of mining activity leading to a serious danger to workers or any machinery or the
environment.

System of communication
An internal communication system for the department head and to their line of command
should be maintained. Having the telephone nos and addresses of adjoining mines, rescue
station, police station, Fire service station, local hospital, electricity supply agency and standing
consultative committee members is another essential aspect.

Consultative committee
A standing consultative committee of 3 persons headed by Mines Manager will be formed.
Facilities & Accommodation
Accommodation and facilities for medical centre, rescue room and for various working groups
will be provided.

First Aid & medical facilities


The mine management is having first aid for use in emergency situation. All casualties would be
registered and will be given first aid.

126
Stores and equipment
A detailed list of equipment available its type & capacity and items reserved for emergency will
be maintained.

Transport services
A well-defined transport control system will be provided to deal with the situation.

Functions of public relations group


A cordial relation with government officials and other social service organization and working
groups shall be maintained. To liaise with representatives of the mine workers to ameliorate
the situation of panic, tension, sentiments, grievances and misgivings created by any disaster.
To ameliorate the injured, survivors and family members of affected persons by providing
material, moral support, finance and establishing contact with relatives of victims.

Security
Strict manning of security posts during the disaster will be done.

Catering & Refreshment


Arrangements will be made for the victims, rescue teams and others for their Catering &
Refreshment services.

26. Plantation and Green Belt Development in respect of leases already granted in the
district:

District administration on yearly basis collects the compliance w.r.t. green clearance along with
photographic evidences of plantation and safety measures the green belt development plan
