Environmental parameters,
The area does not attract the Forest Conservation Act, 1980 as there is no forest around 10Kms
radius.
There is no interstate boundary around 10Kms radius.
There is no wild life animal sanctuary within 10Kms radius form the project site area under the
Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
Therefore the project seeks clearance only from State Level Environmental Impact Assessment
Authority (SEIAA), under B2 Category.
Environmental Protective measures as per EMP
Portable containers for office, stores, canteen ad rest shed has to be arranged at site
with septic tank provisions.
Steps should be taken to control dust at source while loading and transport roads.
While transporting loose soil on main road tarpaulin should be covered over the
material to control fly of dust,
To avoid undue land degradation, the Gravel should be removed in an uniform layer.
Emission test of vehicles should be in tack to maintain minimum emission level of
flue gases,
Noise level should not exceed 75dB and the vehicles should use only permitted Air
Horn while on road near residential areas,
Quarrying operation should be restricted during day hours only otherwise prescribed
illumination level as per Indian Electricity Rules,1956 and DGMS circulars for
illumination at loading, transport and dumping points have to be maintained.
Plantation along lease boundary should be done to control dust and noise.
No blasting. No inflammable material used for quarrying.
Mines safety precautions should be followed while operating excavator. No person
shall be allowed within the swing area of excavator while loading.
Any other conditions as stipulated by the concerned safety and environmental
authorities, related to quarry operation.

elevation of 115 meters above MSL. It is represented in the
Survey of India Topo sheet
58 K/5.
2. The land is dry and no crops at even monsoon time also. The

Fig No: 5.1 Photograph showing general view of the proposed
lease area
b Regional
geology
: 1. The Archaean gneissic rocks are dominant in this area followed
by crystalline limestone and dolomite. The Archaean rocks are
peninsular gneisses, schist, granites and Migmatites.
2. Prolonged weathering of gneissic rocks results in formation of
red soil over the bed rock to a thickness of 2m from the
surface. The soil is assorted, contains pebbles and grits of
quartz and other disintegrated minerals resulted out of
weathering of country rock over a geological time.
c General
Geology of
the applied
Area
: The country rock in this area is gneissic rock of Archaean age with
capping of red soil to a thickness of 2m from the surface. The
photograph below illustrates that gravel of transported sediments
and other disintegrated wedge shape loose rocks and impure quartz
pebbles are embedded in the red soil. This type of soil is transported
in nature roundedness of impure pebbles and red soil.

5.2 a Detail of
Exploration
already
carried out if
any
: The area was personally examined by the Recognized Qualified
Person. The Gravel deposit found over a large area with little
greeneries. No dip is found being a sedimentary formation of recent
age.
5.3 Estimation of : a) Geological Reserves with geological Sections on a scale of
34
Reserves 1:1000
The geological resource is estimated as 7200 M3 up to a depth of
0.60m from the surface within the permissible area for quarrying. A
resource is calculated by Area method. Please refer Plate -III for
details of calculation.
b) Recoverable Reserves :
Recoverable reserves are estimated as 7200 M3 up to a depth
0f 0.60m by cross sectional method.
6.0 Mining:
6.1 Method of Mining : Mining would be carried out by opencast method by semi
mechanized machinery and using JCB Hydraulic excavators
and tippers combination.
6.2 Mode of Working:
: Being loose and soft soil, it is proposed to remove the
materials by a system of hydraulic excavator and
tipper\tractor combination.
No top soil or any overburden shall be removed separately.
The Gravel shall be loaded directly into the tipper and
transported to the respective users, road etc.
6.3 Proposed Bench Height &

not require any drilling.
Loading of Gravel shall be done by mini hydraulic
excavator like JCB and tractor.
Haulage of minerals will be done by trucks \ tractor tippers
directly carry from mining area to consumer area.
6.6
Disposal of
overburden / waste : No separate top soil shall be removed from this area. The
material contains quartz pebbles and wedge shape with red
soil.
6.7 Brief note on
conceptual mining
plan:
: The ultimate extent and size of the pit:
The anticipated life of the mine shall be three
months at production rate of 24M3 Per day. The size of the
ultimate pit boundary shall be as follows:
PIT LIMIT LENGTH WIDTH DEPTH
AB-XY 200m 60m 0.60m
Area to be covered by the pit is calculated as
1.20.0Ha. The side slope bench would be maintained at 45°
while working.
7.0 BLASTING:
7.1 Blasting : As the Gravel is a loose soil, it does not require any blasting.
36
8.0 MINE DRAINAGE:

around 5kms radius.
8.2 Arrangements and places
where the mine water is
finally proposed to be
discharged

there would not be any seepage of ground water in the
pits. Discharge of water may not rise regularly. However
the rain water shall be stored in the pit itself for ground
water recharge purposes.
