Project detail:
Brief description of the nature of the project The project has been proposed for mining of Soil for Brick making by adopting opencast manual/semi-mechanized mining method. As per MoEF Office Memorandum no. L-11011/47/2011-IA.II (M) dated 24th i. The activity associated with burrowing/excavation of brick earth and ordinary earth for purpose of brick manufacturing, construction of road, embankments etc. shall not involve blasting. June 2013 following conditions shall be followed during the mining activity: ii. The burrowing/excavation activity shall be restricted to a maximum depth of 1.8 m below general ground level at the site. iii. The burrowing/excavation activity shall be restricted to 2 m above the ground water table at the site. iv. The borrowing/excavation activity shall not alter the natural drainage pattern of the area. v. The borrowed/excavated pit shall be restored by the project proponent for useful purpose(s). vi. Appropriate fencing all around the borrowed/excavated pit shall be made to prevent any mishap. vii. Measures shall be taken to prevent dust emission by covering of borrowed/excavated earth during transportation. viii. Safeguards shall be adopted against health risks on account of breeding of vectors in the water bodies created due to borrowing/excavation of earth. ix. Workers / labourers shall be provided with facilities for drinking water and sanitation. x. A berm shall be left from the boundary of adjoining field having a width equal to at least half the depth of proposed excavation. xi. A minimum distance of 15 m from any civil structure shall be kept from the periphery of any excavation area.
Need for the project and its importance to the country and region India is the second largest producer of clay fired bricks, accounting for more than 10 percent of global production. India is estimated to have more than 100,000 brick kilns, producing about 150- 200 billion bricks annually, employing about 10 million workers and consuming about 25 million tons of coal annually. India’s brick sector is characterized by traditional firing technologies; environmental pollution; reliance on manual labour and low mechanization rate; dominance of small-scale brick kilns with limited financial, technical and managerial capacity; dominance of single raw material (clay) and product (solid clay brick).
Project Cost : 9 Lakh
