1.4NEED OF THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY

Raw material which is hard and compact in nature, having high compresive strength,

and occurs inplanty is the basic requirment of construction industries. The area in

hundreds of square kilometers in and around Idukki is covered with Granite. Fine and

meddium grained granite free from hair crecks/joints and good looking in colour is

generally used as dimension stone for making tiles, ornamental and monumental work.

Off coloured and jointed granite is used as road metal, and building materials.there is

no other rock which can be used as building material and road metals in Idukki and

nearby districts. The project will help in development of infrastructure of the nearby

area by meeting the requirement of raw material for the road and construction




projects. Employment will be generated for the local workers, and government will get

royalty on the mined out material.

1.4.1 End use (Domestic or export market)

The grainte of this area is off coloured, medium to coarse grained, it can not be used as

dimension stone, it can only be used to make rubbles and agreegate which can be

used in road making and for construction work therefore entire material produced from

the said area will be used in domestic market only.

1.5 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE

Topographically the proposed area is hilly terrain, having heighest elevation of 133 MRL

and the lowest elevation is of 45 MRL.The drainage of the area is controlled by seasonal

channels along the hill slope towards north which ultimately joins the Meenachil Ar

River.The contour map/ Surface map of the proposed area is enclosed as plate no.3 in

The mining activity in the lease area will thus give direct employment to about 20

persons engaged in mining/extraction of Granite (Building stone); loading of material

into tractor trolleys and trucks. Thus, for transportation of material about two drivers

and equal number of helpers shall be engaged. Moreover, the mine will generate

direct/indirect employment for more than 100 workers.

2.7.3 Occupational structure in the Study area

In the initial stages, the shift of resources occurs away from the, primary sector

(agriculture, forestry, fishery, dairy, poultry, mining etc.) to the manufacturing sector or

the secondary sector. These two sectors are the commodity producing sectors and their

http://www.censusindia.gov.in/




activities are required to be supported by the appropriate and adequate development of

the service sector, or the tertiary sector.

Occupational structure of the workforce will be indicative of the economic activity. Any

change in occupational structure would be indicative of the changing nature economically.

The occupational structure has been worked out for categories of occupational available in

the project site, which includes cultivators, agricultural labor, and household industry

workers etc.

2.7.4 Health Status

Health of the people is not only a desirable goal, but is also essential investment in human

resources. As per the National Health Policy (1983) primary health center has been

accepted as a main instrument for achieving this goal.

For the development and strengthening of rural health infrastructure through a three tier

system, such as sub centers, primary health centers (PHC) and community health centers

have been established.

2.7.5 Socio Economic Survey

Following salient observations were recorded.

Educational facilities are available for all the villages in the form of primary and

middle schools. In some of the villages it is extended up to high schools. For

higher studies students have to avail this facility from the nearest town.

Primary health centers and sub-centers are available to the rural people. During

emergencies people have to move to the nearest town places.

Communication facilities are available in the villages.

Most of the villages having good infrastructural facilities like primary schools,

transportation, post office, telecommunication, power, banking facilities etc.

2.7.6 Awareness and opinion about the project

CHAPTER 3

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

3.1 INTRODUCTION

The EMP is required to ensure sustainable development in the study area of 5 Km

radius of the proposed mining site; hence it needs to be an environmental conservation

management plan for the proposed activity.

The EMP aims at controlling pollution at the source level to the possible extent with the

available and affordable technology.

Environmental management for the proposed mining activity is discussed for the

environmental impact pertains to the operational phase. Even though reversible in

nature - all the impacts will be visible only during operational phase. It is planned to

take corrective measures to ensure that these effects are kept to bare minimum. The

EMP will therefore, be initiated during planning stage itself.

The environmental management plan consists of a set of mitigation, management,

monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during implementation and operation

of the project, to eliminate adverse environmental impacts or reduce them to

acceptable levels. The present environmental management plan addresses the

components of environment which are likely to be affected by the different operations

in the mine

3.2 OBJECTIVE OF EMP

The main objectives of Environmental Management Plan are:

Overall conservation of environment.

Minimization of waste generation and pollution.

Judicious use of natural resources and water.

Safety, welfare and good health of the work men and populace.

Ensure effective operation of all control measures.

Vigilance against probable disasters and accidents.

Monitoring of cumulative and long time impacts.

Ensure effective operation of all control measures.

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) aims at the preservation of ecological system

by considering in-built pollution abatement facilities at the proposed site. Some of the

major criteria governing the environmental measures will be adopted, and the same is

described in ensuring paragraphs.




3.3 POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

3.3.1 Air Environment

The proposed mining operations are not anticipated to raise the concentration of the

pollutants beyond prescribed limits. However, the following measures would be

adopted to mitigate the pollution levels in ambient air. Dust particles generated during

mining activities when become airborne lead to increase in particulates level in the

ambient air. The major source of dust generation is the transport of material by trucks

and tractor trolleys. Adequate control measures shall be taken during mining

operations as well as transportation of minerals.

3.3.1.1 PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF DUST POLLUTION

The main pollutant in air is Particulate Matter (PM10), which is generated due to

various mining activities. However, to reduce the impact of dust pollution the following

steps are being taken during various mining activities.

a. During Transport operation

All the haulage roads in the area are being kept wide, leveled, compacted and

properly maintained and water is sprayed regularly during the shift operation to

prevent generation of fugitive dust due to movement of vehicles.

b. Plantation work :

In order to reduce spread of air pollution in the surroundings, green belt is being

developed around the mines office, mine approach road, etc. to control dust

pollution.

c. Monitoring of air pollution

Periodic air quality survey is being carried out to monitor the quality and for timely

corrective actions.

Lying of haul roads as per the standards to avoid or eliminate air – borne dust.

Watering of haul roads and other roads at regular intervals

Spraying of water on permanent transport roads at required frequencies.

Provision of green belt by vegetation for trapping dust.

Greenbelt development along the haul roads and along the boundaries of the

lease area.

Wet drilling will be followed so that the dust emission to atmosphere is

minimized.

Proper blasting pattern will be followed for effective rock fragmentation and

generation of minimal fine dust to open atmosphere.

The extracted mineral would be transported from the mine to the end user by

adopting following measures so as to minimize dust emissions.




Speed of the vehicles would be maintained within the prescribed limits.

Trucks would not be over loaded and would be maintained to the body level.

3.3.2 Noise Environment

The Noise is the environmental attribute associated with the quarry activities and

operational of machinery. As mentioned earlier this is ongoing project, no additional

machinery is proposed to be added,The quarrying operation is restricted to day time

only, to attenuate noise various measures are being taken. Drilling by Jack hammer-

compressor combination is beingadopted. The compressor is placed where men are not

exposed to noise generated by the compressors.

In addition following control measures will be taken to keep the ambient noise levels

well within limits:

Use of Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) i.e., earmuffs and earplugs by workers,

working in high noise areas.

The greenbelt with species of rich canopy in the lease area at suitable places and

along the roads will further attenuate the noise levels.

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 mine and outside location for

proper effective remedial actions.

Minimum use of horns and speed limit of 10 kmph

Timely maintenance of vehicles and their silencers to minimize vibration and Sound.

The greenbelt, which is being provided, will act as noise attenuator. With the noise

abatement measures (as indicated above), it is expected that the noise levels will be

maintained in compliance with standards.

3.3.3 Water Environment

3.3.3.1 Surface Water

The major source of surface water pollution due to mining is insignificant, however the

following measures will be undertaken to prevent water pollution.

Drainage around the mining area would be undertaken so that rain water does

not enter the mining pits.

Plantation will be under taken as per green belt development plan.

Before onset of monsoon, drains are cut along to the quarry faces to divert the surface

run off. Garland drain is provided at the quarry top to regulate monsoon water and

direct the same to the settling ponds/quarry pit to contain the quarry wash off and to

avoid the same joining to the adjoining surface water bodies/water courses. To arrest

the silt if any carried by monsoon run-off will be contained the settling pond from

where the clear water will be let out to the natural water course.




3.3.3.2 Ground Water

There would not be any adverse effect on the ground water quality. The rock formation

does not contain any harmful element, which could percolate into the ground and

pollute the ground water. Hence, no control measures are required.

However, regular monitoring of quality in the existing tube wells in the vicinity would

be carried out both with reference to area and times intervals to study the

hydrodynamics of the strata.

3.3.4 Land Environment

Any mining activity may alter the land use pattern in the lease area. In order to

minimize the adverse effects, the following suggestions have been made. Degradation

of land is not a very significant adverse impact of hilly terrain mining due creation of

access roads, mining operations, transportation of mined material. In order to prevent

the environmental degradation of leased mine area and its surroundings, the following

measures shall be taken;

Minimal damage to the flora standing around the lease area.

Operations during daylight only.

No foreign material should be allowed to remain/spill in lease area and

catchments area, or no pits/pockets will be allowed to be filled with such

material,

Movement of the vehicles on the road will be increased; however, non-metaled

road leading to mining area will be sprinkled with water at regular intervals.

3.3.4.1 Plantation and Soil Conservation

The main objective of the green belt is to provide a barrier between the source of

pollution and the surrounding areas. The green belt helps to capture the fugitive

emission and to attenuate the noise generated apart from improving the aesthetics.

Development of green belt and other forms of greenery shall also prevent soil erosion

and washing away of topsoil besides helping in stabilizing the functional ecosystem and

further to make the climate more conducive and to restore water balance. While

making choice of plant species for cultivation in green belts, weightage has to be given

to the natural factor of bio-climate. The environmental condition of the study area is

suitable for rubber plantation. Therefore the proponent has decided to plant the rubber

trees in the area which will serve the purpose of green belt development as well as it

will have commercial value also.

The entire top soil so excavated will be reused for rubber plantation. Grass will also be

grown to stabilize the soil cover to prevent from the erosion during monsoon season.

3.3.4.2 Post mining land use

As the mining lease area is hilly terrain and it belongs to private individuals, the mined

out land will be used for commercial plantation. Top soil will be used to spread over all

the benches and grass will be grown to stabilize the soil cover and rubber plantation




will be done. Thus mined out area would be reclaimed by plantation during the mining

period.

3.3.5 Biological Environment

The mining activity will have insignificant effect on the existing flora and fauna. Data

have been collected during site visit It was found that the mining activity will not have

any significant impact on the biological environment of the region.

3.3.5.1 Mitigation of Impacts on Biological Environment

It is required to establish a stable ecosystem with both ecological and economic

returns, minimization of soil erosion and dust pollution enhances the beauty of the

area. To achieve this it is planned to increase plantation activities. The basic objectives

of plantations are as follows.

Improvement of Soil quality

Quick vegetative cover to check soil erosion

Conservation of biological diversity

3.3.6 Occupational Health and Safety Measures

Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with

protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment.

The goal of all occupational health and safety programs is to foster a safe work

environment.

To control and minimize the risks at workplace, The Project proponent implements

Health, Safety and Environment Policy with the following objectives:

To prevent hazards

To provide safe and healthy environment to all the employees.

The company, therefore, adopts the policy set below for the purpose of creating and

maintaining safe and healthy environment.

3.3.6.1 Occupational health hazards at mine site:

Mining activity experiences risk of a number of hazards. Some examples of such

hazards are as under:

Exposure to dust

Noise exposure;

Physical Hazards;

Vehicular movements and other related issues.

These mainly impact on those working within the mine, although health hazards can

also impact on local communities.

3.3.6.2 Implementation ofOccupational Health and Safety Measures

Occupational Health & Safety measures result in improving the conditions under which

workers are employed and work. It improves not only their physical efficiency, but also




provides protection to their life. Management will consider the following safety

measures:

To depute dedicated safety team

Inspection and maintenance of equipments and accessories

Pre placement and periodic health check up

Removal of unsafe conditions and prevention of unsafe acts

Detailed analysis of each and every incident

To provide standard PPEs and ensure its uses

Medical facilities & first aid boxes will be established in the mine premises.

Mineable reserve : 1983861 tonnes.

Considering 95% recovery of saleable rock the recoverable reserve = 1884667 tonnes

1.6 MINING

The area is hilly terrain, Granite occurs in the entire proposed area, Granite being low

cost minor mineral open cost mechanized mining is the best choice, therefore the area

is being worked by opencast method and it is proposed to continue the mining

operation by the same method. Proper benches of 5M height and width will be

maintained thus overall pit slope will not be more than 450.

The salient features are furnished as under.

1.6.1 Site preparation

To remove the soil cover and expose the rock.

Remove the loose boulders with help of excavator and to prepare free face for

drilling.

To develop haul road from the proposed quarry using natural gradient of the hill

for movement of tippers.

To give proper layout to the top bench.

Once the site is prepared; production will be commenced by drilling holes of 32

mm diameter and 2.5 M in depth using jack hammer and compressor.

The drill holes will be charged with explosive, and blasting will be done, size of

the boulders so generated by blasting will be reduced by using rock breaker.

The blasted material will be transported by road for the end use by the

contractors.


QUARRY PLAN


1.6.2 Drilling and blasting

Granite is compact rock, at places it is fractured also. Production from the fractured

zone will be obtained with the help of excavator, whereas from compact zone the

production will be obtained by drilling and blasting.

Drilling will be done by jack hammer with the help of air compressor.

Hole location will be properly dressed by excavator to remove the loose boulders

for efficient drilling and avoiding jamming of drilling hammer and bits.

Drill holes of 32mm diameter and 2.5 M in depth will be done.

To reduce the noise level the holes will be blasted by using nitrate mixture and

millisecond delay detonators.

To maintain the bench height of 5 M sub bench of 2.5m will be formed first, later

on two benches will be merged and one bench of 5m will be formed and

maintained

The spacing and burden will be kept at 1.0 M.

About 30 to 50 hole will be blasted in one blast.

Yield per hole will be = 2.5 x 1 x 1=2.5M3.

Number of blasts per day will be 2blasts of 40 holes each.

1.6.2.1 Requirement of explosive

Yield per kg of explosive= Charge per hole will be 375 gms.

Yield of explosive =about 6.6 M3 per Kg. OR 17.16 tones/Kg.

For 1.5 lac tones production per year OR 12500 tons per month the

requirement of explosive will be 735 kg per month

1.6.2.2.1 Precaution during blasting

Handling of explosive and blasting will be done by Mine mate.

After completion of drilling all the equipment’s will be removed from the blasting

site.

A code of signals as declared by the mines manager is displayed on suitable

location. Sirens will be blown before charging the holes.

All the approach to the blasting site will be guarded by trained persons with red

flags in hand to prevent entry of man and animal.

Type of explosive to be used: Nitrate Mixture

The applicant have explosive license from department of explosive (copy of the license

is enclosed asAnnexure 4); the explosive will be stored in portable magazine of 75 kg

capacity which is situated in the survey no.249/1 (near to the quarry).

1.6.3 Transportation of mineral

The material will be transported to the end user by tippers/ trucks.

The average yearly generation will be 7811 M3

1.7.2 Waste

Generation of waste during ensuing period of quarry plan period will be 34812

tones,

Generation of waste per year = 6962 tones OR 2677M3

Proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed

The proposed rate of production from quarry will be 1.5 lac tones per year.

1.7.3 Mineable reserve and anticipated life of the mine

Total mineable reserves : 1983861 tones

Production during ensuing quarry plan period : 6.9 lac. Tones.

Considering 90000 tones production in First year and 1.5 lac tones per year from

second year

Balance mineable reserves : 1293861 tons

Rate of production per year : 1.5 lac tons

Therefore the life of the mine : 14 Years.

1.9 MINE DRAINAGE

The drainage of the area is controlled by seasonal channels along the hill slope towards

North and North east which joins in the Pannikkadan todu stream which ultimately joins

in the Minachil Ar river.

The water table in the area is below 50m., the quarry working will not touch the water

table, and therefore there will not be any water percolation in the quarry except the

rain water. The rain water will be pumped out through a sump. The pumped out water

will be collected in to settling tank and finally it will be discharged to the seasonal

nallah.

1.10 DISPOSAL OF WASTE

The average annual production of top soil and waste will be 7811 & 2677 M3

respectively. During the course of mining activity the waste and top soil will be stored

on the space earmarked for the same and as shown on the working plan. In the

conceptual period the waste will be used to reclaim the mined out pit, from second year

onwards the top soil will be spread over the benches so that the area can be used for

rubber plantation.
