2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT
The applied area is having building stone throughout the area. As per detailed estimation
the geological reserves is about 18,49,802 MT. After deducting the minerals locked in
mines safety slope of 8,34,111 MT, the mineable reserves are arrived to be 10,15,691
MT. The annual production is estimated to be 1,00,000 MTA. At the end of life of mine,
the ultimate floor (bottom) level will reach 85 m. MSL. Under reclamation it is anticipated
to undertake plantation in the applied area. Anticipating 50% growth rate, at the end of
life of mine about 2,500 trees will be grown in total area.
2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND OR
REGION
The major need of building stone is due to its high compressive strength and durability
(among the hardest, dimensional & structural stones) it can effectively withstand the
vagaries of nature. Fine-grained granite is employed for ornamental and monumental
work as well as for inscription purposes. The mineral-rich colors, and the hardness &
density, makes it useful for many applications. The proposed mining project will fulfill its
end uses in buildings and construction, paving and many other exterior projects. Polished
slabs and tiles are used in countertops, flooring, retaining walls and landscaping around a
center fountain/ pond, staircase and many other design elements (residential and
commercial applications). It is also known as the maintenance-free stone.
The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas bring about gains in
gross domestic product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the proposed project
but will add to the gains in G.D.P. (Gross Domestic Product).
A total of 24 people will be employed in this mine. It will create employment (though
marginally) for local population.
Applicant will pay royalty for the mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect
taxes will be paid thereby contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue will
further be put for infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education
and social welfare.

3.3 DETAILS OF ALTERNATE SITES CONSIDERED AND THE BASIS OF
SELECTING THE PROPOSED SITE, PARTICULARLY THE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS GIVEN INTO SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED.
The proposed site is an existing quarry and mineral specific hence no alternate site was
examined.
3.4 GEOLOGY OF THE AREA
3.4.1 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
Mani (1962) carried out systematic geological mapping of the area. Archaean rocks
comprising hornblende granulite, pyroxene-magnetite-quartz granulite (with or
without garnet), amphibolites, foliated and banded biotite-hornblende gneiss (mixed
gneiss) with intrusive pegmatite veins and dolerite dykes forms the geological back
drop of the region. All the rocks have been subjected to a high degree of chemical
weathering resulting in a thick canopy of laterite residuum. The area of present study
exposes crystalline rocks represented by charnockite and quartz-magnetite granulite
traversed by basic intrusive of gabbro and dolorite and acidic intrusive of quartz and
pegmatite veins. All the rocks have been lateritised to varying extents. Most of the
low lying areas and gentle slopes are occupied by either lateritic soil or alluvium
supporting vegetation. A generalised geological succession worked out for the rocks
of the area is given below:-
Recent and sub-recent Soil/Alluvium Laterite
Intrusives Acid Basic Quartz/pegmatite
veins Dolerite/gabbro
Charnockite Group Charnockite and Quartz-magnetite Granulite
(*Secondary Source :- Geological Survey of India-www.gsi.gov.in)
3.4.2 LOCAL GEOLOGY
The local geology belongs to the regional geology. Main rock type in the study area
is charnockite. At places where they are exposed, the charnockite is medium to
coarse grained with dark grey quartz. The soil & over burden thickness is varies from
avg. 0.20 m to 0.85 m. Topographically, the area is undulating with slope towards
north west.

3.4.3 HYDROGEOLOGY
Ground water occurs under phreatic, semi-confined and confined conditions in the above
formations. The weathered Charnockites, Granite gneiss, schists and laterites form the
major phreatic aquifers, whereas the deep fractures in the Charnockites, Granite gneiss
& schists and the granular zones in the Tertiary sedimentary formations form the
potential confined to semi confined aquifers.
The Archaean rocks: - The shallow aquifers of the archaean rocks are made up of the
highly decomposed weathered zone or partly weathered and fractured rock. Thick
weathered zone is seen along the midland area either beneath the laterites or exposed.
In the hill ranges, thin weathered zone is seen along topographic lows, area with lesser
elevation and gentle slope. In areas along the hill ranges generally rock exposures are
seen. The depth to water level in this aquifer varies from 2 to 16 mbgl and the yield of
the well ranges between 2 to 10 cu.m. per day.
Laterites: - The depth to water level in the formation ranges from less than a meter to
25 mbgl. Laterite forms potential aquifers along valleys and can sustain medium duty
irrigation wells with the yields in the range of 0.5 - 6 cu.m. per day. The occurrence and
movement of ground water in the laterites are mainly controlled by the topography.
Laterite is a highly porous rock formation, which can form potential aquifers along
topographic lows. However, due to this same porous nature, groundwater is drained
from elevated places and slopes at shortest duration after monsoon due to which
scarcity is experienced in the elevated places and slopes.
Water Table: The ground water depths were observed from the available open well
near to the lease area and nearby sources. The ground water level is varying
between 2.0 m. to 3.5 m.
3.4.4 MINERAL RESERVES
In this area the building stone exposures are bordering to the lease boundary. The
mineable reserves are arrived after deducting the reserves locked in mines safety slope
along with boundary in compliance with mineral concession rules. The quantity of such
kind of reserves is arrived as following:-

3.5.5 DRILLING
The excavation of mineral is proposed by excavators. The mineral is fractured and easily
exploitable by rock breakers and excavators. The hard strata are proposed to excavate
after drilling and blasting.
3.5.6 BLASTING
The controlled blasting is proposed by adopting all the safety measures as per “MMR
1961” and with the permission of DGMS.
In this area for fragmentation of granite the blasting will be conducted. Multiple blast
holes of 1.0 to 1.5 m depth will be drilled with the help of 32 mm drill rod, Jack Hammer
and Air Compressor of 100 cfm capacity.
It is estimated about 250g of explosives per hole is required. About 30 – 50 holes per
blast are proposed. Therefore, the requirement of explosives will be about 10 kg/ blast.
3.5.6.1 Explosive Used
Only class 2 and class 6 explosive is proposed for use as given below:-
Booster (20%) Slurry explosive
Explosive
(Column charge) (80%)
Nitrate Fuel oil (NFO).
The NFO mixture can be readily produced at a site by
mixing nitrate (94.5 %) with diesel oil (5.5 %).
Initiator Electric detonators
3.5.6.2 Storage of Explosive
Considering low consumption, a 550 kg magazine is for storing the explosive. The
magazines are exists within the complex.
3.5.7 MINERAL TRANSPORTATION
Loading of mineral will be done by excavator and will be sent to the crushing unit within
the complex. Trucks / Tippers of 15T will be used for transportation of mineral from mine
site. It is expected that 22 trips will be required to transport on daily basis. For this,
movement of truck per hour will be 2-3 only. Thus, the impact due to movement of trucks
from the mine will be marginal and well within the capacity of the roads.

Noise
Environment
The sources of noise
contributing to
environment in this
mine and surrounding
area are mainly due
to drilling, blasting,
loading and
unloading of mineral
and movement of
trucks.
The major noise generating source from the proposed
activity is working machinery, drilling, blasting and plying of
vehicles. The following control measures are to be
undertaken to bring down the noise levels:-
� Proper maintenance of machinery, equipments and
improvement on design of machines.
� Use of personal protective devices i.e., earmuffs and
earplugs by workers, working in high noise areas.
� Creation of wide green belt of dense foliage between mine
areas and residential colonies.
� It is proposed that the proposed mine operates only ten
hours a day.
� Conducting periodical medical checkup of all workers for
any noise related health problems
� Proper training to personnel to create awareness about
adverse noise level effects.
� Planned noise monitoring at suitable locations in the plant
and outside location for proper effective remedial actions.
4.6.6 GROUND VIBRATIONS
The only source of ground vibrations is due to blasting operations. Based on the
ground vibration studies made earlier proper care will be taken during blasting
operations.
4.6.6.1 BLASTING HAZARDS
Blasting in mining areas may give rise to ground vibrations. Fly rock is another
problem that deserves attention. Based on the ground vibration studies made earlier,
proper precautions will be taken during blasting operations for controlling the ground
vibrations. The management plan for addressing the various impacts due to blasting
operations is presented below.
4.6.6.2 Blast vibrations & control measures
Controlled blasting technique will be adopted in this project in order to reduce blast
vibrations. Further, charge per delay will be regulated to minimize blast vibrations.
Proper hook-up will be adopted while firing the drill holes. Moreover the experience

gained in other open cast mines would be gainfully utilized to limit the ground
vibration levels within the prescribed limit of 15 mm/sec (as per DGMS). In practice,
this is kept much less to about 10mm/sec.
In addition, the following guidelines will be adopted wherever required to check the
ground vibrations:-
� The maximum charge per delay will not be more than 10 kg so as to limit the PPV
values to 10mm/ sec. (As against the permissible 15 mm/ sec.).
� Optimum delay sequence and stem to column ratio will be maintained to minimize
the fly rock distance and ground vibration intensity.
� Basing on the distance of the nearest sensitive areas from the epicenter of the
blast, charge weight will be altered to meet the stipulated standards.
� Design of optimum blast hole geometry considering bench height, diameter of
hole, type of explosive, nature of rock, level of fragmentation required etc.
� Divide total charge/ blast in several parts so as to keep minimum explosive per
delay i.e. use of millisecond delay detonators & relays.
� Avoid concentration of explosive by using deck charging.
� Avoiding blasting in unfavorable weather conditions.
4.6.7 FLY ROCK CONTROL MEASURES
There are a large number of factors that influence fly rocks. Most important of these
factors are long explosive columns with little stemming at the mouth of the hole,
irregular shape of face, long water column in holes, loose stones on face of the
surface blasting area, and strong wind. However, certain preventive measures will be
taken to minimize the risks arising from flying fragments. These are:-
� Marking of danger zone: - The area falling within 250 m of the blasting area will
be marked off as danger zone with red flags, or other appropriate signs, and entry
of any unauthorized person into this zone will be prohibited during blasting
operation.
� Warning signals: - An audible warning signal will be given, fifteen minutes before
actual firing of blast to enable persons to move out of danger zone. For this
purpose, a set of sirens/ hooters will be provided at appropriate places.
� Providing blasting shelters: - In order to protect the personnel engaged in
blasting operations, blasting shelters will be provided for taking shelter during
blasting.

4.6.8 AIR BLAST CONTROL MEASURES
The release of explosive energy through air and movement of fragmented rocks are
primary causes for noise and air over pressure during blasting.
Adoption of following measures while carrying out blasting operation will help in
reducing the intensity of air blasts and will also minimize the noise level associated
with the air blasts. The measures suggested are:-
� Avoiding overcharging of blast holes
� Adequate stemming
� Maintaining proper inter-hole & inter-row delays.
4.6.9 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT/ LAND RECLAMATION
About 22,841 cu. m. of top soil is estimated from the pit of the proposed mine. Other than
top soil, about 5,374 cu. m. of overburden will be generated throughout the mine life.
(i) Topsoil Management
A total quantity of 22,841 cu. m. of topsoil is proposed to be removed during the mining
operations. The topsoil excavated from the quarry will be dumped separately at pre-
determined place and subsequently will be utilized in spreading over reclaimed areas for
plantation. Precautions will be taken to limit the height of the topsoil dump to 5 to 6
meters in order to preserve its fertility and shelf life. It will be suitably protected from soil
erosion and infertility by planting fodder grass and leguminous plants during temporary
storage.
(ii) Overburden Management
About 5,374 cu. m. of overburden will be generated throughout the mine life. This waste
will be utilized within the pit for lying of haul roads. At the end use, OB can be reutilized
as soil base for plantation.
(iii) End Land Use Plan
The total land required for the proposed mine is 2.6872 ha. As a result of phase wise
working 2.5072 ha. of the pit area will be reclaimed at the end of mining operation
leaving of no void.
At the mine closure stage the end land use status will be as shown hereunder :-

4.7 MINE CLOSURE PLAN
Various works that are to be taken up under the mine closure plan includes:-
(i) Revegetation
It is proposed to develop green belt to 100% which includes areas like all along
the mine lease boundary (7.5 m width), all along the periphery and the reclaimed
area.
Grass and bushes will be planted in areas prone to erosion especially at the foot
of the hill. Other areas will be fertilized and planted with local species. The
characteristics of this vegetation will resemble that of the natural environment
except for the early growth, which may be a protective cover crop of non-seeding
annuals.
Before re-vegetation, the land will be properly prepared by spreading the top soil
which is rich in organic contents. Vegetation will be self-sufficient after planting
and require no fertilization or maintenance.
(ii) Buildings and Surface Infrastructure
a. Administrative Buildings, Rest Room and Toilets
These structures may be utilized for the expansion project as the life of the mine is
much more than the present lease period.
b. Support & Transport Infrastructures
As such there is no major infrastructure facilities planned in this project and does
not call for importance. The main mining site and secondary access road will be
kept in a sufficient condition to allow access for monitoring till such time any other
authorities wish to maintain and legally accept responsibility for the access roads.
c. Surface Equipment and Heavy Machinery
No heavy and surface equipment are proposed in this project. Open cast semi-
mechanized method is used in this case. The equipments and small machinery if
used will be taken out of the premises.
d. Hazardous substances
The hazardous materials and explosives will be totally evacuated from the mine
site and the site will cleared of any such materials and substances.
(iii) Water Resource Management
Prior to the commissioning of the project area the water run-off used to flow
naturally and used to join the nearby drainage nallahs/ streams. It is proposed to
collect and hold this runoff/ storm water from the lease area including own
property and use it for various purposes within the lease area. The grounding of
the project will not be causing any alteration to the drainage pattern of the area.

3.0 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION
3.1 TOPOGRAPHY
Part of the proposed land is existing quarry area and there is no vegetation in that
area. The remaining land in the proposed land is mostly covered with native trees,
shrubs, herbs, grass, climbers, bushes etc. The topography of the lease area is hilly
terrain. The highest elevation of the lease area is 150 m. MSL and lowest is 85 m
MSL. As the proposed area is hill rock, the drainage of the lease area is towards north
west. No habitants are located in the lease area. Old pits lies in the lease area are
marked on surface plan.
3.2 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
Mani (1962) carried out systematic geological mapping of the area. Archaean rocks
comprising hornblende granulite, pyroxene-magnetite-quartz granulite (with or without
garnet), amphibolites, foliated and banded biotite-hornblende gneiss (mixed gneiss)
with intrusive pegmatite veins and dolerite dykes forms the geological back drop of
the region. All the rocks have been subjected to a high degree of chemical weathering
resulting in a thick canopy of laterite residuum. The area of present study exposes
crystalline rocks represented by charnockite and quartz-magnetite granulite traversed
by basic intrusive of gabbro and dolorite and acidic intrusive of quartz and pegmatite
veins. All the rocks have been lateritised to varying extents. Most of the low lying
areas and gentle slopes are occupied by either lateritic soil or alluvium supporting
vegetation. A generalised geological succession worked out for the rocks of the area
is given below:-
Recent and sub-recent Soil/Alluvium Laterite
Intrusives Acid Basic Quartz/pegmatite
veins Dolerite/gabbro
Charnockite Group Charnockite and Quartz-magnetite Granulite
(*Secondary Source :- Geological Survey of India-www.gsi.gov.in).

3.5 GEOLOGICAL SECTION:
Geological cross sections have been drawn at a fixed intervals across the lease area
in Plate No. 2. The section line along which the geological sections has been prepared
has been shown in Plate No. 2. The Sections has been drawn across the strike of the
host rock.
3.6 DETAILS OF EXPLORATION:-
The lease area is already explored, The excavated pits give the idea of minerals
depth. So no further exploration is required and proposed in this mining plan.
The details of pits such as already made in and out side, which have been shown in
Surface cum Geological plan. (Plate No. 2).
3.8 METHOD OF ESTIMATION OF RESERVES:-
The following points have been considered while calculating the reserves of stone.
1- The reserves of minerals have been estimated by using the method of
preparation of sections and applying the influence of such sections to limited
distance and multiplying it by width.
2- Based on the actual geological mapping and cross section preparation, the
proved reserve has been taken .
3- The specific gravity of minerals has been taken as 2.6 i.e. 1 m3 of mineral in
situ = 2.6 tonne

CHAPTER- 4
4.1 MINING
This Simplified Mining plan is prepared for mineral stone and it is based on consideration of
following aspects.
a) Information of the deposit based on the geological and surveying fieldwork.
b) Mining Method
c) Different Mining operations(Drilling, Blasting, Mucking and Transportation)
d) Future Production Targets.
e) Safety
f) Environment
A) EXISTING / PROPOSED MINING METHOD
The proposed method of mining will be Semi mechanized open cast mining. The basic mining
techniques adopted will be uses of machines. For the systematic working of open cast mines,
the main development work will be the forming of systematic benching. The height of bench
will not be kept more than 5.0m at a time and the width of the benches will be always kept
safe according to provisions. The Mining will be done with the help of tools such as drills, jack-
hammar, compressors, hand shovel, picks, excavators etc. The targeted annual production of
Stone is about 1,00,000 in the first to third year.
Table : Year wise production of building stone for the first 3 years period
Year Bench Minerals (MT)
I ROAD DEV.,140-135 100000
II 130-125 100000
III 120 100000
TOTAL 300000
Drilling : The excavation of mineral is proposed by excavators. The mineral is fractured and
easily exploitable by rock and excavators. The hard strata are proposed to excavate after
drilling and blasting.
Blasting : The controlled blasting is proposed by adopting all the safety measures as per
“MMR 1961” and with the permission of DGMS. In this area for fragmentation of granite the
blasting will be conducted. Multiple blast holes of 1.0 to 1.5 m depth will be drilled with the
help of 32 mm drill rod, Jack Hammer and Air Compressor of 100 cfm capacity.
12
It is estimated about 250g of explosives per hole is required. About 30 – 50 holes per blast are
proposed. Therefore, the requirement of explosives will be about 10 kg/ blast.
Loading and Transportation : Loading of mineral will be done by excavator and will be sent
to the crushing unit existing within the complex. Trucks / Tippers of 15T will be used for
transportation of mineral from mine site. It is expected that 22 trips will be required to
transport on daily basis. For this, movement of truck per hour will be 2 - 3 only. Thus, the
impact due to movement of trucks from the mine will be marginal and well within the capacity
of the roads.
B) Composite Plan and Year wise Section – Proposed working Plan and Sections for next
three years are attached.
C) Plan Showing pit layouts, Dumps, Sub grade Mineral stack etc. – The proposed
development year wise working is shown in plate. The Sub grade mineral and waste will be
stacked in side and boundary barrier of lease area. The 5% marketable mineral will be sub
grade, which was saleable in rainy season when production of mineral is very low due to rain.
So there is no as such need of permanent stacking of sub grade mineral. The temporary
stacking site of sub grade mineral shown in proposed year-wise development plan.
D) Proposed Rate of Production and Expected Life of Mine-
The proposed rate of production for the mine is 1,00,000 MTA. As per geological reserves, life
of mine is 10 years.
E) Opencast Mines
Salient Features of Mode of working-
The mining will be done open cast Semi mechanized. The working will be done by forming
benches of 5.0m (Average) height. The proposals of mining for the next three year workings
are given in the table. The Stone production will be started from the first year the systematic
working of open cast mines, the main development work will be the forming of systematic
benching. The height of bench will not be kept more than 5.0m at a time and the width of the
benches will be always kept safe according to provisions. The Mining will be done with the
help of tools such as drills, jack-hammar, compressors, handshovel, picks, excavators etc.
Loading of Stone will be done with the help of shovel and excavators at face and at stock
yard. Stone gitti will be loaded in truck / tipper manually.
13
The truck / tipper will be used for transportation of Stone and Stone Gitti from mine site to
Destination.
The cost of the Stone is directly dependent on the size of the material mined. First Stone
bench will be opened by removal of Soil / OB than Stone will be mined out either by labour or
with the help of JCB / Hitachi.
Production proposed in first three years
Total O.B./Waste will generate in 3 years = 22,841 cu.m. (top soil) & 5,374 cu.m. (Over burden)
Total Stone will excavated in 3 years = 3,00,000 MT
(F) Extent of Mechanization -
M/c will be deployed as per requirement to meet production target. Brief details of machinery
are as follows :-
(i) Drilling Machines
Sr. No. Machine Type Required No. of M/c Size/Capacity
1. Back Hoe 2 0.9 m3
2. Rock Breaker 3 --
3. Compressor (Chicago) 3 CFM/100
4. Tippers/Trucks 3 15T
5. Jack hammer 2 32 mm
6. DG set 1 125 kVA
(ii) Loading Equipment
Mechanical loading equipment such as shovel and excavators will be used for removal and
loading of the mineral at face and stock yard.
(iii) Haulage and Transport Equipment
a) Haulage within mining lease hold: Loading of Stone will be done with the help of Shovel
and Excavators at face and stock yard. Stone gitti are loaded in truck by manually.
b) Transport from Mine head to destination: The truck will be used for transportation of
Stone and Stone Ballast from mine site to destination.
Conceptual Mining plan :
The final slope angel will be 450.
Post Mining Reclamation Plan including afforestation.
Plantation at 3 m. x 3 m. grid will be done. Plantation will be planted every year. Saplings of
local plants will be planted as per the consultation of the local Forests Department Officers.

11.0 (C) (i) TEMPORARY STORAGE AND UTILISATION OF TOP SOIL:-
Topsoil Management
A total quantity of 22,841 cu. m. of topsoil is proposed to be removed during the mining
operations. The topsoil excavated from the quarry will be dumped separately at pre-
determined place and subsequently will be utilized in spreading over reclaimed areas for
plantation. Precautions will be taken to limit the height of the topsoil dump to 5 to 6 meters
in order to preserve its fertility and shelf life. It will be suitably protected from soil erosion
and infertility by planting fodder grass and leguminous plants during temporary storage.
Overburden Management
About 5,374 cu. m. of overburden will be generated throughout the mine life. This waste
will be utilized within the pit for lying of haul roads. At the end use, OB can be reutilized as
soil base for plantation.
11.0(C) (ii) YEAR WISE PROPOSALS FOR RECLAMATION OF LAND AFFECTED BY

YEARS:-
As the mining will progress, the areas where ultimate pit depth is reached, backfilling will
be started. This will be reduced the transportation of OB and waste outside the pit area.
11.0 (C) (iii) EXTENT OF BACKFILLING AND RECONTOURING:-
There is proposal of backfilling and re-contouring during the next three years of this
mining plan.
11.0(C)(iv)ALTERNATE USE OF UNFILLED/PARTIALLY FILLED/EXCAVATIONS/ROAD
SIDES/SLOPES AND MINE:-
The reclaimed area may also be considered for plantation to develop green belts.
11.0 (C) (v) USE OF ABANDONED QUARRIES/PITS PROPOSED TO BE USED AS
RESERVOIR ETC:-
Abandoned pits will be utilized for water storage during rainy season. This water will be
utilized for irrigation and plantation etc. It will also help in recharging the ground water.
27
11.0 (C) (vi) PROGRAMME FOR AFFORESTATION:-
The year wise programme of eco-restoration for the life of mine, about 2,500 trees will
be planted in an area of 2.5072 ha.
Biological reclamation / ecological restoration for the mined area by plantation of the
species as per the time schedule suggested below: -
First Six months -- Herbs & grass
Next Six months -- Shrubs

11.0 (C) (vii) PLANTATION PROGRAMME:-
(i) Plantation along the boundary of the lease area i.e. within 7.5 m barrier of the lease area
boundary has been proposed which will help to improve the environment and ecology.
(ii) Plantation will be done around offices, road side and fencing boundary etc.
11.0 (C) (xiv) SPECIES TO BE PLANTED:-
Further afforestation programme up to conceptual plan period will be similar to the above
five years programme which will be repeated every three years.
11.0 (C) (xv) POST PLANTING CARE:-
Post planting care is most essential for healthy growth of vegetation. This will comprise:-
(i) Replacement of causalities at the first opportunity itself.
(ii) Weeding monthly for first two months and later on six monthly.
(iii) Irrigation fortnightly from Oct. to March, once in 10 days between April and June.
(iv) Soil working, Manuring, mulching etc. twice in a year.
(v) Protection from grazing cattle etc.
11.0 (C) (xvi) TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF WATER FROM MINE:-
There will not be any disposal of water from the mine and hence no treatment of water is
required. The mines working have been proposed quite above the ground water table.
MEASURES FOR MINIMISING ADVERSE EFFECTS ON WATER REGIME:-
There is no natural water body in the leased area. The garland drain / check dam will
be built around the dump to channelize runoff water through settling ponds.
11.0 (C) (xvii) PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR GROUND VIBRATIONS / AIR BLAST CAUSED BY BLASTING:-
The controlled blasting is proposed by adopting all the safety measures as per “MMR
1961” and with the permission of DGMS.
In this area for fragmentation of granite the blasting will be conducted. Multiple blast holes
of 1.0 to 1.5 m depth will be drilled with the help of 32 mm drill rod, Jack Hammer and Air
Compressor of 100 cfm capacity.
It is estimated about 250g of explosives per hole is required. About 30 – 50 holes per
blast are proposed. Therefore, the requirement of explosives will be about 10 kg/ blast.
11.0 (C) (xviii) MEASURES FOR PROTECTING HISTORICAL MONUMENTS:-
Since there are no protecting historical monuments in the lease area or buffer zone,
therefore no measures for protecting of these monuments are required.
29
11.0 (C) (xix) REHABILATION OF HUMAN SETTLEMENTS LIKELY TO BE DISTURBED DUE TO MINING ACTIVITY:-
The mining activity will be confined to areas away from villages. No population will be
affected by mining activities and as such the question of rehabilitation of the people
displaced by mining operations does not arise. No rehabilitation of human settlement is
involved due to mining operation.
11.0 (C) (xx) SOCIO-ECONOMIC BENEFITS ARISISING OUT OF MINE:-
It is expected that mining can boost the gross economic production of the area other
then industrial activities. It provides new avenues of direct or in direct employment and
business. These coupled with growth in infrastructural facilities results in improved
socio-economic prospects.
The mining in the region will open the gates for socio-economic upliftment of the area.
People will be employed in the mines and will be self employed in the ancillary works.
People will be getting better facilities of communication and amenities due to mining
activities in the region.
11.0 (D) ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING :-
An environment protection cum afforestation cell has been proposed. It will be
responsible for implementing the proposed measures and monitor the progress of
implementation and reinforce them wherever necessary.
11.0 (D) (i) LAND USE MANAGEMENT:-
(i) Topsoil Management
Topsoil is proposed to be removed during the mining operations. The topsoil excavated
from the quarry will be dumped separately at pre-determined place and subsequently will
be utilized in spreading over reclaimed areas for plantation. Precautions will be taken to
limit the height of the topsoil dump to 5 to 6 meters in order to preserve its fertility and
shelf life. It will be suitably protected from soil erosion and infertility by planting fodder
grass and leguminous plants during temporary storage.
(ii) Overburden Management
Overburden will be generated throughout the mine life. This waste will be utilized within the
pit for lying of haul roads. At the end use, OB can be reutilized as soil base for plantation.
(iii) End Land Use Plan
As a result of phase wise working of the pit area will be reclaimed at the end of mining
operation leaving no void.
30
11.0(D) (ii) MANAGEMENT OF MINING ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION (GENERAL):-
Following control measures will be taken to abate the deteriorating impact on
environment and improving the same. For affective management of this, a few persons
will be exclusively provided who will be responsible for implementing the control
measures and to monitor the progress of implementation of these measures in order to
minimize environmental degradation.
11.0(D) (iii) SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT:-
The mine waste and other are proposed to be stacked in the dump area specially
provided for the purpose. Care has been taken in selecting the site for the stacking yards
for the stacking purpose. It is located in a secure place and having solid base and on a
non used zone. These dump yards have been protected by toe walls. The toe walls will
be constructed during first year period. The height of these dumps will also be restricted
and benched. A retaining wall 0.5 m x 1.0 m will be made on the low altitude side of the
dump.
11.0(D) (iv) MONITORING OF AIR BORNE DUST:-
It is known that very fine silica dust is harmful to human beings. It is also known that dust
between 0.2 to 5 microns is harmful to the lungs. Thus it is very important to know the
dust concentration in the air where there is mining activity.
Vegetation cover will help in restricting the spread of dust in surrounding area. The
bushes and scrubs will also act as barriers for arresting spread of dust there.
In the mine, dust is generated mostly by plying of tractor/trucks. Air borne dust generated
by plying of trucks can be considerably reduced by sprinkling water on roads.
A tanker of about 1000 liters capacity will be deployed for this purpose on hire or on
contract basis.
11.0(D) (v) MANAGEMENT OF NOISE PROBLEM:-
Source of noise pollution have already been dealt.
To reduce the noise caused by machineries and equipments at the mine, mufflers of
adequate size and capacity shall be provided with equipments at the mine.
Chief sources of noise pollution in the mine will be vehicle.
Based on LOI practice, in Directorate General of Mines Safety circular no.-158 (Tech.) of
1975, noise standards have been recommended. According to this, there is a warning limit
value of 85 db (A) by which the danger of hearing impairment and deafness may result
from unprotected ear.
31
Personnel protective equipment have to be used if there are single isolated out bursts of
noise which can go above 130 db (A) impulse or 120 db (A). Noise from trucks can be
reduced by using mufflers of adequate size and strength and better maintenance of the
equipments.
Noise will not be the problem as the mining has been proposed by semi-mechanized open
cast method.
11.0(D) (vi) MANAGEMENT OF GROUND VIBRATIONS:-
The only source of ground vibrations is due to blasting operations. Based on the ground
vibration studies made earlier proper care will be taken during blasting operations.
11.0(D) (vii) MANAGEMENT OF LAND SLIDE PROBLEM:-
The final pit slope is kept at not steeper than 45° which is not likely to cause any problem
in respect of slope stability. Thus there is no likelihood of any land slide at any stage in
future.
11.0(D) (viii) MANAGEMENT OF HUMAN SETTLEMENT PROBLEM:-
The mining activity will be confined to remote area away from villages. No population will
be affected by such mining activities. As such the question of rehabilitation of the people
displaced by mining operations does not arise.
11.0(D) (ix) MANAGEMENT OF WILD LIFE HABITATE:-
No specific management is proposed because there is no wildlife, sanctuary etc. within
the study area.
11.0(D) (x) MANAGEMENT OF FLORA:-
Existing flora will be improved by plantation of trees.
11.0(D) (xi) MANAGEMENT OF TOP OVERBURDEN:-
Top overburden will be stored in the non used zone and sold out as per market demand.
11.0(D) (xii) MANAGEMENT OF CROPPING PATTERN:-
No management is specifically being proposed because of no apparent adverse impact
on cropping pattern due to mining.
11.0(D) (xiii) MANAGEMENT OF PLACES OF TOURIST-INTEREST ETC.:-
Since there is no place of tourist interest in the area, therefore no management has been proposed.
32
11.0(D) (xiv) WATER COURSES, SPRINGS ETC. MANAGEMENT THEREOF:-
N.A.
11.0(D) (xv) MANAGEMENT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROBLEMS:-
There will be positive impact on socio-economic conditions of the area due to mining.
Locals will be given preference in the matters of employment.
11.0(D) (xvi) CLIMATE-MANAGEMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT:-
Proposed plantation will improve present climatic conditions. This will be continuously
monitored by environment management cell.
