applied area.

Proposed Study to be carried out

As the quarrying operation is proposed to be carried out for a period of Three years only to a

depth of 3m further exploration or proposed study is redundant.



Method of Estimation of Reserves

The Geological plans demarcating the commercially viable Earth body has been prepared in

1: 1000 scales (Plate No: III). Totally three sections have been drawn, one section along the Length

wise as (X-Y) another two section drawn the width wise as (A-B), (C-D), to chosen the maximum

area cover under the lease in the Horizontal 1:1000 & vertical 1: 100 (Plate No: III).

The cross sectional area for the proved depth persistence of 3m has been worked out for the

section. The cross sectional area multiplied by its length of influence of the longer axis gives the

volume (insitu) in the cross sectional area. The sum total of the insitu reserves available within the

individual cross sectional area gives the geological reserves of the lease applied are.

As the mineable of Earth in the terms of cubic meter. The Geological resource, Mineable reserves are

given only in terms of cubic meter. The Details of estimation of Geological resource and mineable

reserves with reference to topography, Geological plan and section shown in (Plate No: III).

BASE LINE STUDIES OF PAZHAVOOR PART -1 EARTH QUARRY J.RAJKUMAR

Base Line Studies is Prepared for

Pazhavoor Part-1 Earth Quarry


BASE LINE STUDIES

The base line study is prepared for Pazhavoor Part -1 Earth Quarry project. Base line

studies provide a base data for regular Environmental Monitoring and Environmental Impact

Assessment (EIA).

The baseline study is provides bench mark for carrying out environmental Impact

assessment due to the course of quarrying and mining activities. The purpose of these studies is

to evaluate the benefited and adverse effect of developing activities on the neighborhood

environment and the area where the quarrying is proposed to carry out.

Mr. J.Rajkumar applied for Earth Quarry project lease for over an extent of 1.47.25Ha

in S.F.No:1004/2 (P) at Pazhavoor Part-1 Village of Radhapuram Taluk, Tirunelveli

District, Tamilnadu.

General approach to Environment

The Environmental besides data comprise of the features present of the site area its

includes environmental features such as forest area, conservation area, water bodies, industries,

wild life and fauna place of historic and importance etc.,

The data collected to cover the following.

1. Air environment

2. Noise Environment

3. Water environment

Air Environment

Ambient Air quality has been assessed through a net – Work of 3 ambient air quality

stations. Standard monitoring and analysis procedures were adopted for adopted for determining

the Air quality parameters. The PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2 are monitored as per prescribed

guidelines/methods. The AAQ monitored data for all locations for above parameters are shown

in Table No: 1

Noise Environment:

Sound can be defined as atmospheric or air vibration perceptible to ear. Noise is usually

unwanted or undesired sound. Consequently, particular sound can be noise to one person and not

to others or noise at one time and not at other time. Hence sound loud enough to be harmful is

called noise without regard to its characteristics. Noise is a form of pollution because it can cause

hearing impairment and psychological stresses.

The noise level measurement in the core zone and nearby buffer zone area was carried

out to evaluate the future impact on noise environment due to the proposed mining operation.

Noise measurements were carried out using Lutron SL 4001 sound level meter. The result of

hourly background noise levels for all locations are given in Table No: 2

Conclusion

The base line studies relents no hazardous levels of dust and noise and prevailing at the

project area. A well implemented environmental Management plan as discussed in the mining

plan will help in mitigation the adverse effects due to quarrying activities.

The movement of vehicles is very minimal. The entire vehicle used will be periodically

maintained by well experienced mechanic and kept under TNPCB standards, emission testing

will be carried out periodically and water will be sprinkled periodically to prevent dust into air.

The small quantity of non-humus rich surface soil will be removed and preserved in the

boundary barrier to facilitate the Afforestation.

Environmental care and attitude of preventing environment is inducted to the proponent

and advice to carry out and mitigate the minor impacts due to quarrying. Appropriate persons are

advice to get employed to protect the Environment and Ecology of the area.
