I) Geology and Exploration

a. Regional Geology:

The area in question forms a part of the north eastern palnad basin of the crescent

shaped Cuddapah basin and lies right on the eastern margin in close proximity to the

Peninsular Gneissic Complex on the east. The regional geology around the subject area is

rendered complex by intense folding, faulting and thrusting resulting in the Juxtaposition

of stratigraphically and lithologically disparate units.

The limestone bands itself, for examples, which belongs to a much younger stratigraphic

unit of Kurnool group occurs in contact with the shale of cambium formation of

Nallamalai group(Cuddapah Super Group) as well as the Gneiss of the Archean

peninsular Gneissic Complex. The Cumbum formation of Nallamalai group occurs as a

trusted block within younger Kurnool group rocks which occur to the wes t of the present

area.

b) Local Geology

The present area is a hillock land with ground level exposures of Charnockite/migmatite

gneisses and basalts having occasional hornblende bands. The rock is medium to coarse

grained and composed of quartz, plagioclase, microcline, biotite and hornblende as the

main mineral constituents zircon,: epidote, speen and iron ore minerals as accessory

constituents. The rock exhibits gneissic outlook in view of the alignment of the minerals

in the linear direction and belong to the Archean age. Basalt formation is associated

with medium and thin bands of shale of varying thickness. The thickness of the Basal

formation is around 80 to 100 m

c) Details of Prospecting license holder : Not Applicable

d) Details of prospecting/mining already carried-out

Present Status: No exploration is carried out for this type of deposit. This deposit is

working mine . This is quarrying since 2009 onwards, the road metal excavation has

been carried out in this quarry. The existing pit dimension are 115m length X 40m

3) Mining:

Method of mining

Road Metal Stone quarrying is the multistage process by which rock is extracted from the

ground and crushed to produce aggregate, which is then screened into the sizes required

for immediate use, or for further processing, such as coating with bitumen to make

bituminous macadam (bitmac) or asphalt. The drilling& blasting permission will be

obtained from Chief Controller of Explosive.

The process begins with a detailed three-dimensional survey of the quarry face. This allows

the explosives engineer to design the blast and to plot where the shot holes should be

drilled so that the blast can be carried out safely and efficiently. The survey will show if

there are any bulges or hollows in the face. A bulge will need more explosive than normal

to ensure that it is completely fragmented and not left in place in the face. Hollow areas

require less explosive than normal. The placement of explosives is professionally planned

to ensure that the required fragmentation of the rock is achieved with the minimum

environmental impact.

The mining operations will be carried out with controlled blasting method, the blasting

permission is obtained from Dy. Chief controller of Explosive the copy of the letter is

enclosed as Annexure-VII.

In the plan period the production quantities are projected in the higher side to generate

revenue to the newly formed state of Andhra Pradesh. During plan period marginal waste

is going to be generated the waste will be dumped on surface area within the lease. The

location of production benches area shown in production plan plate-6

↓

The ≈150mm size rock material shall be sent as crusher feed

↓

From crusher the resulting end products are with 40mm, 20mm, 12mm size road metal

and rock dust.

On the day of the blast, the explosives are delivered and taken to the site of the blast.

Detonator cord is placed in each hole and the holes are then loaded with high explosives

to within a few metres of the top. The remaining depth is "stemmed" with quarry dust

or fine aggregate.

The site is cleared. Sirens are sounded to make sure that everyone nearby is warned.

The detonators are connected to the electric trigger wire and the circuit is checked. A

final safety check is carried out and only when the final all clear is given does the

shotfirer set off the explosives. A single blast can fragment up to 50 to 60 tonnes of

rock.

After the blast, the face and shotpile (sometimes called the muck-heap) are inspected to

check that all the shot holes have fired correctly. The face shovel or loader then tidies

up the shotpile and starts to load the dumper trucks that take the rock to the crusher.

Boulders which are too big to go through the crusher are set to one side for secondary

breaking at a later date. Secondary breaking is typically done using a hydraulic digger

fitted with The bench geometry is forming 6m height, width not less than 6m , the

length of the benches will be varying from every year. The details of working

Market analysis : Road metal & stone is always having demand, therefore no market issue.

Waste Management Plan

a) In Stone quarry mining very limited waste is going to be generated. In view of what has

been stated above It is necessary to plan the dumping yard as well, it will be possible to

utilize the waste material will be dumped in the surface area. For road metal and for some

other miscellaneous purposes., a fair amount of unweathered rock material could be

salvaged for road filling etc., The location of the production benches are shown in the year

wise production plans. Plate-5 & 6.

Thus market exists certainly for partial utilization of the salvaged material from the mine

wasted, thus reducing the quantum of mine waste and the management is aware of this

and will make all efforts for utilization of the mine generated waste to the extent possible.

By this way the handling at a large quantity of solid wastes is exposed to be minimized.

Measures to be adopted for solid waste

The road metal mining is on the sheet rock structure a few feet below ground level. In this

quarry no significant amount of waste was found. Since the whole produce is for crushing to

road metal requirements, the so termed waste also gets crushed and sold. Therefore the

need to store waste does not arise.

Liquid waste (measures to control mine drainage, runoff from waste dumps)

The operation of the mine will not generate any appreciable quantity of liquid waste. The

ground water table in this belt 35 Meter below the surface and since the quarry depth will

not reach up to this depth in the near future, so flooding by ground water is not anticipated.

However during rainy months, there is a possibility of wet conditions developing in the

working pit. This will be minimized, if not altogether eliminated, by adopting digging

trenches all around the quarry lease area to drain off rain water and preventing surface

runoff from entering and flooding working pit. Thus mine drainage can be effectively

managed and the pit kept dry to keep up the production schedule.

b.) Under Ground Mining : Not Applicable

4.0 MINE DRAINAGE

a) Land degradation

The mining operations to win ROAD METAL from the lease area necessarily result in forming

a pit in the pre-existing rocky area. After complete excavation of the quarry, the preexisting

surface levels of the mine area go below the ground level. Such degraded area will be

reclaimed by filling and leveling and can be used for greenery development. Alternatively,

the pits will be properly fenced off and used as ground water recharge pits. The rest of the

area will planted with trees

b) Air quality

The quarrying operations shall increase the SPM, RPM, SO2,NOx and CO levels to some

extent. But as the baseline quality is very good having these parameters much lower, the

marginal increase can be expected. The increase in SPM levels of ambient air quality

predicted are not be more than 5µg /m3. Similarly SO2 and NOx levels may increase not

more than 1µg /m3 from the baseline levels.

Air quality

Parameters Base level Permissible level

SPM 140µg /m3 360µg /m3

RSPM 60µg /m3 120µg /m3

SO2 40µg /m3 80µg /m3

NOx 40µg /m3 80µg /m3

CO 1.0µg /m3 5.0µg /m3

c) Remedies proposed for Air quality

Thus the air pollution has an adverse effects upon the health of human beings as well as

ecology. To control the air pollution, green belt around the lease area, offices, all along the

approach and internal roads will be developed in.

The continuous water spraying on the haulage roads. The plants are used as indicators of

pollutants in air and to monitor their concentrations. Closely planted woody plants growing

along the roads help in reducing the contamination of lead front automobiles exhaust.

Pollution control devices such as settling chambers, bag filters need to be used to control

pollution. Roads may be frequently sprayed with water therefore polluted air will not spread

and rise around the mine.

Conduct blasting during less breezy periods.

Properly design blasting operations.

d) Noise levels

Noise level ranges from 60 db due to the use of Heavy Earth moving Machinery. No of

personnel directly affected are the operators of these machines. Otherwise, there is no sound

pollution, in the nearby village which is more than 5 Km from the quarry is not affected by

sound pollution.

Permissible exposure for different period of time is given below:

Remedies proposed for minimizing noise levels:

A machinery function will be stopped if there is no work. Much of the noise may be due to

inefficiency of the machinery. For e.g damaged blades, blunt saws, worn bearing and

sometimes lose metal sheets. These defects will be repaired, then noise level will be minimized

to a greater extent.

A lot of noise can be absorbed by planting trees, and to absorb sound. Ex:- Coniferrous trees

like /Pine, spruce, cedar, yew, etc., and Deciduous trees.

One of the easiest ways to control noise and vibration from heavy vehicles is by maintaining

properly approach and internal roads of mine.

e) Vibration levels

As explained above nearest is village is located 3.40 kms away from lease area. It is proposed to

use gun powder for jackhammer holes blasting. This mode of blasting does not contribute to

much vibrations. Thus the impact of vibrations due to blasting shall be negligible. Periodic

vibration studies will be carried out to know the vibration levels and take appropriate measured

on it.

f) Water Regime

No effect on water regime.

g) Acid Mine Drainage: Not Applicable

h) Surface Subsidence : Not applicable.

i) Socio-economics

Due to this quarry operations there will be some to locals may be employed. By way of direct

employment not less than 15 numbers and indirectly 10 numbers may be employed in allied

mining activities, therefore the existing families can have sustenance.

On development of quarry it will improve transport, communication and power in turn the

Government will also earn revenue which can flow back to improve the facilities of neighboring

locality. The much needed foreign exchange is also earned on export of black granite.

J) Historic Monuments :No Historic monuments , temples within the 10 km radius area.

k) Bio-Diversity : Not applicable.

3.0 Progressive Reclamation Plan

4.0 Mined-Out Land: Describe the proposals to be implemented for reclamation and rehabilitation of mined-out land including the manner in which the actual site of the pit will be restored for future use. The proposals may be supported with yearly plans and sections depicting yearly progress in the activities for land restoration/reclamation/rehabilitation,

afforestation etc, called “Reclamation Plan”.

No reclamation is proposed period of mining scheme as the ore is available at further depth.

However, the in the Safety Barrier Zone and road side area plantation shall be carried out

during the plan period.

5.0 Topsoil Management: The topsoil available at the site and its utilization maybe described.

The area associated with hard rock surfaces such as shale and schist, There is no soil cover in

the mining area. However, any top-soil removed incidental to mining shall be preserved and

used during plantation on the dumps.

6.0 Tailings Dam Management: The steps to be taken for protection and stability of tailing dam,

stabilization of tailing material and its utilization, periodic desilting measures to prevent water pollution from tailings etc, arrangement for surplus water overflow along with detail design, structural stability studies, the embankment seepage loss into the receiving environment and ground water contaminant if any may be described.

Not applicable.

7.0 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment

Mining will be carried-out strictly as per MMR 1961 and all other rules and regulations. Project

proponent is having mobile communication system for quick passing of information if need

arises. The management is committed to identify possible causes for the potential disasters and

draw a code of emergency measures and procedures to deal with such disasters, which is

otherwise also advised by DGMS through their periodic circulars.

Mine is well equipped with communication system like wireless facility. In case of any

minor/major accidents within the mine, the same will be communicated to Mines Manager for

action. At mine level first aid will be provided and person(s) shall be shifted to nearby hospital

at Ibrahimpatnam mandal, having all basic amenities like school, college, hospitals, post &

telegraph, fire station, police station etc., which is at a distance of 13.50 kms from the mine.

Lessee is responsible Key person for the disaster management and he needs to be contacted in

the below mentioned address in case of any disaster.

8.0 Care and Maintenance during temporary discontinuance

The following specific measures shall be taken in case of temporary discontinuance,

a) Proper and adequate security at the entrance/exit to the mine to prevent entry of

unauthorized person with proper gates under lock.

b) Top edges of the quarry will be fenced off with approved type of fencing.

c) Entrance to the toe of dumps will be blocked.

d) Special security and fire preventing measures will be taken at dangerous

places/explosive magazine etc. e) All the above will be examined by the Mines manager once in a week to ensure that

they are in order.
