This Act regulates the operations of businesses that process minor minerals like sand and gravel. It applies to crusher unit owners, directors, partners, and lessees, as well as stockists and retailers involved in this trade. The law aims to ensure these businesses comply with government regulations by paying required fees, taxes, and royalties. It establishes an Environmental Management Fund to manage environmental impacts and empowers district officials to assess and enforce these payments. By doing so, the Act seeks to curb illegal mining activities and ensure the state government collects revenue from the mineral sector.
