Preamble

The Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India,
made Environmental Clearance (EC) for mining of minerals mandatory through its Notification
of 27th January, 1994 under the provisions of Environment Protection Act, 1986. Keeping in
view the experience gained in environmental clearance process over a period of one decade, the
MoEFCC came out with Environmental Impact Notification, SO 1533 (E), dated 14th September
2006. It has been made mandatory to obtain environmental clearance for different kinds of
development projects as listed in Schedule-1 of the Notification.

Further, in pursuance to the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court dated the 27th February, 2012 in
I.A. No.12- 13 of 2011 in Special Leave Petition (C) No.19628-19629 of 2009, in the matter of
Deepak Kumar etc vs. State of Haryana and others etc, prior environmental clearance has now
become mandatory for mining of minor minerals irrespective of the area of mining lease; And
also in view of the Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, order dated the 13th January, 2015 in the
matter regarding sand mining, has directed for making a policy on environmental clearance for
mining leases in cluster for minor Minerals, The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate
Change in consultation with State governments has prepared Guidelines on Sustainable Sand
Mining detailing the provisions on environmental clearance for cluster and proper monitoring of
minor mineral mining using information technology enabled services to track the mined out
material from source to destination.

The report is prepared as per appendix 10, para 7 of MoEF GOI notification S.O.141 dated
15th January 2016 and sustainable sand guideline 2016, MoEF notification dated 25 th July
2018, Enforcement and monitoring guidelines for sand mining by MoEFCC January 2020

The District Survey Report will a model and be a guiding document which is a compendium of
available mineral resources, geographical set up, environmental and ecological set up of the
district and replenishment of minerals which is based on data of various departments, published
reports, journals and websites. The District Survey Report will form the basis for application for
environmental clearance, preparation of reports and appraisal of projects. The Report will be
updated once every five years.
The main objective of the preparation of District Survey Report (as per the Sustainable Sand
Mining Guideline) is to ensure the following –

(i) Identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed;

and
(ii) Identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and
installations where mining should be prohibited and process of annual rate of
replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area.
(iii) Identification of mineral wealth in the district.
(iv) Identification of areas where no mining should be permitted.

 6. Process of Deposition of Sediments in the rivers of the district

Process of replenishment

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering

and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water and/or by the force
of gravity acting on the particles. Sediments are most often transported by water. Sediment is
transported based on the strength of the flow that carries it and its own size, volume, density,
and shape. Stronger flows will increase the lift and drag on the particle, causing it to rise,
while larger or denser particles will be more likely to fall through the flow in form as bed
load, saltation and suspension load while in transport,

 If the upwards velocity approximately equal to the settling velocity, sediment

will be transported downstream entirely as bed load.
 If the upwards velocity is much less than the settling velocity, but still high
enough for the sediment to move, it will move along the bed as bed load by
rolling, sliding, and saltating (jumping up into the flow, being transported a
short distance then settling again).
 If the upwards velocity is higher than the settling velocity, the sediment will
be transported high in the flow as suspension load.

As there are generally a range of different particle sizes in the flow, it is common for material
of different sizes to move through all areas of the flow for given stream conditions. Sand
mining is critical to infrastructure development around the globe. Sand is an essential minor
mineral used extensively across the country as a useful construction constituent and variety of
other uses in sports, agriculture, glass making (a form of sand with high silica content) etc.
The rivers are the most important source of Sand for mining. It acts as source of
transportation and deposition of sand and Bajri etc. The various factors governing the
occurrence and deposition of sand is country rock i.e., geological disposition, climate,
rainfall, water load physical parameters of river and velocity of water current. The rate of
gross or absolute sand/silt production (erosion) in the watershed area, the ability of the
system to transport the eroded material and then to a reservoir has the direct relation with the
quantity of sediment delivered in to reservoir. It is common knowledge that minerals are non-
renewable but this form of mineral naturally gets replenished from time to time in a given
river system and is very much interrelated to the hydrological cycle in a river basin based on
21
erosion, weathering and natural as well as anthropological conditions. The rate of erosion
depends upon the several factors like climate, tectonic, vegetation and topography etc.
Hydrodynamic conditions played a role in transportation of the sediments. It has been also
observed that If the channel width is increased the sediment production is decrease and for
larger watershed the lesser is the variation between the rates. The larger watershed presents
more opportunity for deposition of sand/silt during its traverse from the point of production.
The watershed with maximum land use class of forest generate very low rate of production
unless the forest is degraded or open forest. The cultivated watersheds with unscientific
farming produce very high rate of silt production. The total amount of eroded material, which
reaches a particular hydraulic control point, is termed as sediment yield. The sediment control
of inflow is governed by character of run-off; susceptibility of soils; the extent and density of
vegetative cover in the area; and the hydraulic efficiency of the drainage system. Riverine
environmental systems are unique in themselves and provide environmental services, natural
resources to meet variety of needs of urban and rural communities

The rivers originating from the highland of Vindhyans in Madhya Pradesh bring with them
lots of aggregate materials whereas as they move downstream, only finer elements / minerals
like sand are found in abundance.

Sedimentation Yield and Production

The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is one of the widely used mathematical-statistical
models often used to assess the sedimentation yield from a river bed. Soil erosion within
watersheds results in sedimentation which gets deposited along the river channel course. The
rainfall energy interacts with terrain parameters and results in water induced soil erosion. It
comprises of sequential actions viz. detachment of particles from soil mass, transportation of
soil particles, partial deposition and time to time re-entrainment in transport processes. The
parameters like soil characteristics, terrain slope length & steepness, land-use/land-cover and
land management practices are considered during the assessment, these are given below in
the empirical equation (Source: Auckland Regional Council LandfactsS-05, “Estimating
Sedimentation Yield Using Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)”).

A= R x K x LS x C x P x SD x SE

Where, A= Sedimentation Yield, (tons/annum)

R=Rainfall Erosion Index, (J/ha)
K=Soil Erodibility Factor (tons/unit of R)

22
LS=Slope Length and Steepness Factor
C=Ground Cover Factor
P=Roughness Factor
SD= Sediment Delivery Ratio
SE=Sediment Control Efficiency

Calculation of Sedimentation Yield for Proposed Project Site:

Using USLE, Year-wise Sedimentation Yield is calculated. All the parameters for the USLE
and Sedimentation Yield is given below,

Sedimentation Yield for the Site

After extraction of the mineral from the reserve, the remaining reserve as well as sediment
replenishment of that year will be available for extraction every next year. As the sediment
control efficiency will gradually increase every year due to increase in mining activity, the
sedimentation yield will also increase every year, considering the influencing factors remains
near constant.

over power supply; therefore,
they irrigate the crops by
groundwater when power
supply is available rather than

25
 waiting for the wilting to start.
ii)Flood irrigation technique
which is practiced in the area is
also the major cause of wastage
of ground water as there is no
control on the watering depth.
iii) The Narmada is indeed
shifting its course and causing
erosion of the land over the past
years. The phenomenon is more
pronounced since 1994 flood of
Narmada River.
iv) Lack of awareness among
the people regarding rainwater
harvesting and artificial
recharge.

 9. Physiography of the district

Dahod district is situated in the western part of peninsular shield of Indian subcontinent.
The elevations in the district are more than 400m AMSL. The district has varied
topography of undulating plain to rugged topography of quartzite (above 400m amsl). Flat
topped and highly dissected plateau of Deccan trap basalt occurring in the central part and
northern parts. The development of geomorphic units is the manifestation of diverse
geological processes, may be structural, tectonic, erosion & denudation. The quartzite
ridges occur in western part of the district. The regional geomorphic units are pediplains
and dissected hills of phyllites & mica schists occur in the western and eastern part of the
district and having gentle to moderate slope. The curvilinear ridges of phyllite, schist and
quartzite have steep slope one side and gentle slope on the other side. The phyllite, schist
and quartzite have identifiable structural trends. Pediplain has cover of weathered,
unconsolidated and medium to coarsegrained material. Dissected hills of granite and gneiss
occur in the southern part of the district. The granitic and gneissic dissected hills have high
relief and steep slopes. Scattered alluvial deposits include flood plains, valley fills and
abandoned river channel deposits occur at many places in district. The alluvial deposits are
composed of clay, silt, sand, gravel and lime kankar & have gentle slope. The area has
complex folding, faulting, tectonic history and has large shear zones, quartz reefs and
pegmatitic intrusives. The area has high altitudes in western and southern part and low
altitudes in eastern part. The surface water bodies have topographic control. The high relief
areas and low relief areas can be identified on toposheets.

 10.Rainfall:

Dahod district receives much of its rainfall from the south-west monsoon during the period
between June & October; its maximum intensity being in the month of July & August. Total
rainy days ranges from 30 to 40 days/year. Long term annual rainfall data of the district from
year 1982-2011 are statistically analyzed and the average annual rainfall is 745mm

 11.Geology and Mineral Wealth:

Geologically, Dahod district is the manifestation of diverse geological extension from

Archaeans to Recent with different rock types such as granitic to basalt and limestone to
alluvium. The stratigraphy of Dahod district is presented in table 9. The oldest formation in
the area is Archaean rock presenting Granite gneiss and biotite gneiss in the southern part of
the district. Aravallis Supergroup comprises of various meta-sediments belongs to Lower
Proterozoic. The post-Delhi intrusive, Godhra granite and gneisses were intruded into older
Archaeans. Both Aravallis and granite-gneiss have undergone many orogenic movements.
They are overlain at places by Lower cretaceous fluvial and marine sequences, namely Bagh
beds and Lametas. Lower Cretaceous rocks are overlain by Deccan basalts, extrusive rock
formation; occur as sporadic exposure in the form of cappings over older rocks. The youngest
formation is the alluvium; occur as pediments, sand dunes, valley fills and flood plain along
the river courses as isolated patches. Archaeans: The oldest rock type comprises of Granite
gneiss and biotite gneiss exposed in the southern part of the district. The Archaeans Granite
gneiss has been intruded by the Godhra Granites as found in the southern part of the district.
Aravallis Supergroup: It comprises of meta sediments has been categorized under Lunawada
group.Lunawada group of rocks comprises of Phyllite, mica schist, metasubgraywacke,
chlorite schist, phyllite quartzite, protoquartzite and minor bands of dolomite cover maximum
parts of the districts. Infratrappean Bagh and Lameta group of rocks consisting of Limestone,
shale, sandstone and conglomerate, exhibit presence of marine and freshwater fossils.
Dinosaurian egg and bone fossils are found in the Lameta group. Basalts and rhyolite
comprises the Deccan volcanic exposed at central part in Dahod and Jhalod taluka.

geological map of Merh, 1995)

a) Dahod district details of river or stream and other sand source:

There is one major irrigation project on Mahi River, namely Kadana reservoir project
(Santrampur – Lunawada talukas) and medium projects such as (i) Machchan Nala project
(Jhalod) on Machchan Nala river, (ii) Palla dam project (Devgadh Baria) on Karod river, (iii)
Patadungri Tank project (Dahod) on Khan river, (iv) Walkeswar Project (Devgadh Baria) on
Walkeswar stream, a tributary of Panam river. The soil of the district can be divided broadly
into three categories depending upon the source rock, namely the phyllite, granites and
basalts. The granite normally gives rise to sandy soil but where weathering is intense, sandy
loam is produced. The phyllite produced yellowish brown light soils but where weathering is
deep, black soil produced. The basaltic rock gives rise to variegated soil depending upon the
degree of weathering. The first stage of weathering produce light soil with splinters of
morum where as in the second stage medium soil od light brown to brownish black colour
are produced. These medium soils are more than a meter depth. The black cotton soils
produced by intense weathering of basalts are however deep, heavy and become sticky when
saturated. They have high fertility value.

32
Drainage pattern of the district:

The district is drained by main tributaries of Mahi river on left bank. They are Panam, Hadap,
Goma, Kharod, Anas, Kali, Khan, Machchhan and Chibota. Mahi river originates outside the
district and follows southwest course and enters adjoining Panchmahal district near Kadana.
Futher south-west it debauches in the Gulf of Khambhat. Mahi river is perennial and all its
tributaries are ephimeral in nature. The drainages are easterly and westerly flowing. The
dissected hills and moderately dissected plateau of Deccan Trap have identifiable drainage
pattern. The phyllitic and schistose pediplain also has identifiable drainage pattern. The
dissected hills of granitic and gneissic area in the south also have identifiable drainage
pattern. The regional fault pattern and local fault pattern also has identifiable drainage
pattern. The western hilly area has lithological and structural control over drainage. The
eastern low-lying area has lithological, structural and tectonic control over drainage. The
drainage in the area is sparsely developed. The surface water divide can be inferred from
topography and runs almost north to south. The flow of the water in the rivers is more during
the rainy season. The drainage is dendrite to sub-dendrite type.

 a) Dahod district availability of sand or gravel or aggregates resource:

Figure 7: Drainage map of Dahod district with active leases of minor minerals and road
network (bottom image is zoomed view of river channel which hosts ordinary sand leases)

The district is drained by main tributaries of Mahi River on left bank. They are Panam,
Hadap, Goma, Kharod, Anas, Kali, Khan, Machchhan and Chibota. Mahi river originates
outside the district and follows southwest course and enters adjoining Panchmahal district
near Kadana. Futher south-west it debauches in the Gulf of Khambhat. Mahi river is
perennial and all its tributaries are ephimeral in nature.

Availability of sand or gravel or aggregate resources of the district:

For Narmada:
Total Sand reserve = Area (Ha) x .010000 sqm x Depth x Bulk Density of Mineral
=73.6 x 10000 x 3x 2.67
=5895360 MT

 12. Areas recommended as sand reserves for future exploration and no
mining zone

The areas marked in the map are reserved forest and near vicinity of critical structures. Hence
forth it is recommended that these areas should be barred from mining activity.

Figure 8: Map showing sand reserves for future exploration (marked in yellow)
available along River and areas marked as No-mining zone (marked in green).

The zones marked in yellow show area with ordinary sand mineral which has strong potential
for replenishment. The areas with reserve forest are shown in pink and are not to be mined
due to their eco-sensitive nature.

The Mahi river owing to its large catchment and discharge as observed for over instrumental
records, along with presence of large point and channel bars in its valley shows large

36
accumulation of sand reserves in the river valley as well as its variable transport. Monsoon
being the major driving mechanism along with auxiliary roles of tectonics in the Narmada
river basin, the sediment generation is high compared to other rivers in the vicinity, which is
also proved by high sediment load in offshore observed by various satellite based studies.
This qualifies the Narmada river to be a strong potential candidate for natural replenishment
of sand/gravels.
