General Geology

Savudu is composed of unconsolidated rock fragments that have a general particle size range

and include size classes from granule- to cobble-sized fragments. Savudu is sub-categorized by

the Udden-Wentworth scale into granular Savudu (>2 to 4 mm or 0.079 to 0.16 in) and pebble (>4

to 64 mm or 0.2 to 2.5 in). One cubic yard of Savudu typically weighs about 3000 pounds (or a

cubic meter is about 1,800 kilograms).

Savudu is an important commercial product, with a number of applications. The applicant

intends to use this Savudu especially filling and leveling of low lying areas for Road projects and

other infrastructure development work in and around the District.

OPEN CAST WORKING

Open cast method of shallow mining is proposed, Machineries like excavators are proposed

for quarrying Savudu 2.0m depth. No drilling or blasting is proposed for this type of Savudu

quarrying, it is a conventional eco friendly quarrying operation.

The Savudu will be loaded directly to the trucks / Lorries for transportation to the needy

customers.

Details of Exploration

No exploration is carried out. The Savudu is found clearly right from the surface in the lease

applied area.

Proposed Study to be carried out

As the quarrying operation is proposed to be carried out for a period of One year only to a

depth of 2.0m further exploration or proposed study is redundant.



Method of Estimation of Reserves

The Geological plans demarcating the commercially viable Savudu body have been prepared in

1:1000 scales (Plate No.III).

Total Three sections have been drawn, One Section along the Length wise as (X-Y) another

Two sections drawn the Width wise as (A-B) & (C-D) to choose the maximum area cover under the

lease in the Horizontal 1:1000 and Vertical 1: 100 (please refer Plate No- III).

The cross sectional area for the proved depth persistence of 2.0m below the ground level has

been worked out for the section. The cross sectional area multiplied by its length of influence on 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 Resources of the lease applied area.

As the Recoverable of Savudu in the terms of cubic meter. The Geological Resources,

Mineable Reserves are given only in terms of Cubic meter. The Details of estimation of Geological

Resources and Mineable Reserves with reference to Topography, Geological Plan and Section shown

BASE LINE STUDIES OF MUDUKKANKULAM SAVUDU QUARRY AHAMED SATHAM

Base Line Studies is Prepared for

Mudukkankulam Savudu Quarry


BASE LINE STUDIES The base line study is prepared for Mudukkankulam Savudu 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. Ahamed satham applied for Savudu Quarry project lease for over an extent of

2.15.0Ha in S.F.No: 25/2 at Mudukkankulam Village, Kaariyapatti Taluk, Virudhunagar District

and 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.
