CHAPTER 3
3. 0 Geology and exploration

3.1 Physiographic/ Topography:

The area is almost pain. The highest level is 40 AMSL.

3.2 Regional Geology:

BIRBHUM lies between 23°38’ and 24°32’ North latitudes and 87°05’ and 87°56’ East

longitudes. The geographical area of the district is 4545 km². It is the westernmost district

of West Bengal. It has a sub tropical climate and Temperature is varies from 2.8°C in winter

to 42°C in summer.

Geologically, BIRBHUM district of West Bengal is dominated primarily by granite gneiss, a

banded metamorphic rock. Proterozic hard granite gneiss and migmatite are the principal

rock types found in Manbazar while Proterozic soft, flaky phyllite and mica schist belonging to

the Singhbhum Group, composed of quartz, muscovite and biotite mica, are the dominant

rocks in Banduan area. Due to undulated topography mainly 50% of rainfall flow away as

runoff. A considering part of the district is covered by Residual soil formed by weathering of

bed rocks.

The soil of BIRBHUM district is undulating tract of high ridges and low valleys. The major

part of the district is plain. The alluvial areas are found in very narrow strips

along the rivers. The valleys are steep along the rivers. Alluvial fans are found in the

fringe areas of Ajodhya hills. The soils of the district are mostly sedentary in nature.

Colluvial soil is found only in valley bottom. Soils of undulated uplands are shallow,

gravelly, coarse having low water holding capacity. These lands are either severely

eroded or very susceptible to erosion.

4.0 Reserves and yearly excavation:

a) Give estimates of geological reserves along with grade under proved, probable and

possible categories by standard method of estimation supported by analytical reports-

b) Geological Reserves—
Geological reserves area 14130 cum insitu- calculations are based on the area of each Plot of
land X 1.80m depth of excavation from surface. For Brick Earth, excavation up to 1.80m from
surface will be carried out and therefore the area of the Plot multiplied by depth is the total
geological reserves from that Plot of land. The geological reserves from 2 plots of land will
be the total geological reserves.

Area of berm of 7.5m around the plots = 4555.8 sqm.

CHAPTER 5
Development and production program—
Methodology of Mining:/Proposed Mining Method:
Manual open pit mining will be carried out. Depth of the excavation will be limited to 2.0m
from surface. A 7.5m wide strip of land along the periphery of each plot of land will be left
intact for safety of mining operations and saving the nearby agriculture fields from
inadvertent encroachment while carrying out mining.

• Mining will be carried out during day light hours.

• Brick earth being soft in nature, requires no drilling and
blasting and therefore no ground vibration will get generate.

• Depth of the excavation from surface will be limited to 2.0m and

this will be in two stage of 0.90m each (First 0.20m will be topsoil
layer)
• About 8 labours will be employed for excavation of brick earth.
• If it exists, the topsoil will be scraped and kept separately for future use for
restoring the fertility.

5.5 Conceptual Mine plan—
At the end of mine life and the before expiry of the agreement with landlord, the area
of each plot of land will be leveled and topsoil spread over it. The edges along the
periphery will be mildly rounded off for making the land suitable for entering the
field and carrying out agricultural activity.

5.6 Man power—

(i) Management Staff 1 Person

(ii) Skilled 2 Persons
(iii) Unskilled labor 8 Persons
Total 11 Persons

5.7 Use of mineral

The mined out brick earth will be used for making earth bricks. These earth brick will

be transported by animal drawn vehicles or tractor drawn trailers to brick kiln for

heating by fire so as to make the same suitable and strong for civil construction.

1. Material Procurement: The clay is mined and stored in the open. This makes the
clay soft and removes unwanted oxides.
2. Tempering: This clay is then mixed with water to get the right consistency for
moulding. Mixing is done manually with hands and feet. Sometimes and in certain
areas, animal driven pug mills are use.
3. Moulding: A lump of mix is taken, rolled in sand and slapped into the mould.
Initially moulds were made of wood, now metal moulds are used. Sand is used so the
brick does not stick to the mould.
4. Drying: The mould is emptied onto the drying area, where the bricks are arranged
in a herring bone pattern to dry in the sun. Every two days they are turned over to
facilitate uniform drying and prevent warping. After two weeks they are ready to be
burnt.

5. Firing: The green bricks are arranged in a kiln and insulation is provided with a
mud pack. Fire holes left to ignite the kiln are later sealed to keep the heat inside.
This is maintained for a week. Firing like other operations also depends on the
knowledge and experience of the brick maker.

6. Sorting: After the kiln is disassembled. The bricks are sorted according to colour.

The Colour is an indication of the level of burning. Over burnt bricks are used for

paving or covering the kiln while slightly under burnt bricks are used for building

inner walls or burnt once again in the next kiln.

Though the overall method remains the same, there are certain regional variations

considering the local soil and climatic conditions. In different areas, different soil

types are used with respect to local situation. The three general approaches for firing

bricks.

5.8 Water requirement:

The estimated water requirement is—
a) Human Consumption : 0.3 KLD
b) Dust suppression : 0.3 KLD
c) Brick Making : 7.4 KLD
Total : 8.0 KLD

CHAPTER - 10

10.1 Conclusion—

This mining area is small and in the agricultural fields. Mostly local peoples are
employed in this activity. There will be minimum adverse affect of this activity on the
drainage system.
A brick is a block made of clay burnt in a kiln. It is one of the primary building
materials known to mankind. Over time, bricks have appeared, gained prominence,
lost importance and then come to the forefront again with various styles of
architecture. Burnt bricks were used in ancient Indian civilizations. They are still
being used as filler materials for framework structures as well as to construct load
bearing structures.
Besides to generate a number of direct employments, indirect employment will also
be generated in this area by this activity. This is also a source to generate revenue to
the Government. It can be concluded from the above facts that the mining of brick
earth from this area will not have any adverse impacts but would help in improving
the socioeconomic condition of the surrounding villages. Hence this mining plan may
kindly be approved at earliest.

4.2. Water Quality Management:
Mining will be carried out up to 2.0m depth from the surface and will not intersect ground

water table. There is no river nalla pond in the mine pit area therefore water quality will not

get effected.
4.3 Air Quality Management:
Manual operations/insignificant dust. AAQ quality will not get affected.
4.4 Waste Management:
No solid waste will be generated and no disposal is needed.

4.5 Top Soil Management:

Wherever, topsoil exists, the same will be scraped and kept separately for future use on 7.5m

wide strip of land along the periphery of each plot. This topsoil will be spread over the bottom

of the mined out pit for restoring the fertility of the land.
4.6 Tailing Dam Management:

No processing of mineral is proposed. Hence, no tailing dam is required.

4.7. Infrastructure:

Portable and temporary structures will be erected and will be dismantled at the end of mining
operations.

4.8 Disposal of Mining Machinery:

No machinery will be used and therefore no disposal is required.

3.3 DETAILS OF ALTERNATE SITES CONSIDERED AND THE BASIS OF SELECTING THE PROPOSED SITE,
PARTICULARLY THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS GONE INTO SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED

Since these is a mining project dependent of availability of minerals, it can not be shifted at
will. The site is suitable for excavation of brick earth because after excavation the land will
become suitable for agricultural purpose. As a result of mining of brick earth, practically there
will be no adverse impact on the environment of the area. No drilling/ blasting is required for
these type of mining.

3.4 SIZE OR MAGNITUDE OF OPERATION

It is proposed to excavate 1185.72 m3of ‘Brick Earth’ per annum from a total lease area of
0.7850 hectare for the purpose of manufacturing Pakka brick.

3.5 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS (A SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM/FLOW CHART SHOWING
THE PROJECT LAYOUT, COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT ETC. SHOULD BE GIVEN).

Semi Mechanized Opencast method of mining without blasting is proposed to be adopted.

First of all the top soil layer of about 0.2 m thickness will be removed separately and stacked
for future use. The opencast mining process for extraction of Brick Earth primarily involves
scooping the soil through use of implements like spade, pick axe, shovel etc. Water will be
added to the dugout earth and Semi Mechanized molded into kaccha bricks will be dries in the
sun at the mine site itself. The dried kaccha bricks will be Semi Mechanized loaded into tractor
trolleys and transported to nearby brick kiln for burning purpose. After burning the Pakka
bricks will be dispatched by roads to consumers of the locality.

3.6 RAW MATERIAL REQUIRED ALONG WITH ESTIMATED QUANTITY, LIKELY SOURCE, MARKETING AREA
OF FINAL PRODUCT/S, MODE OF TRANSPORT OF RAW MATERIAL AND FINISHED PRODUCT

Since, it is a Brick Earth mining project, no raw materials are required carrying out mining
operations. The excavated brick earth will itself be used as raw material for manufacturing
Pakka brick after burning. The brick will be transported by road with tractor-trolleys.

3.7 RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION/RECYCLING AND REUSE

It will be ensured that full use is made of the excavated brick earth. After completion of
extraction of brick earth the excavated portion will be leveled up and top soil stacked earlier
will be re-laid so that used again for agriculture purpose.

3.8 AVAILABILITY OF WATER ITS SOURCE, ENERGY / BENGAL REQUIREMENT AND SOURCE

For Human consumption ground water will be used Ground water. For other purpose, the rain
water stored in worked out pits will be used.

The estimated water requirement is—

a) Human Consumption : 0.3KLD

b) Dust suppression : 0.3 KLD

c) Brick Making : 7.4 KLD

Total : 8.0 KLD

The mine will open after getting environmental clearance. It will be possible to work the mine
only during the period from November to May every year. The estimated cost of the project is
9.0 Lacs.

9. Analysis of proposal (Final Recommendations):

(i) Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people
including tribal population, if any, in the area.

The project will provide employment to the people of the area in which available job
opportunities are less.

As a result of these the socio-economic status of the people will increase. Moreover the land
which is presently not suitable for agriculture purposes will be converted into land suitable
for agricultural purposes. This will be a great advantage to the land owners.
