2.2 Brief Information about the Project The mining lease area of 3.77Hectares Opencast Semi-mechanised mining is followed and it has been proposed to produce approximately 9975 m3/annum (Highest Production in five years)Economical -3990; Sub-grade -5985 = Total 9975 m3); of Colour Granite. The nearest habitation,KothagattuVillage is located at a distance of 1.20km due SW from lease area.

2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region The demand for granite increased due to rapid industrialization and growth in infrastructure. So the number of granite producing quarries is increasing in India. Granite is the chief material for the export industries like monuments, flooring slabs, Kitchen articles, sculptures & export. Based on the demand of Granite, the lessee intends to produce the required quantity of Colour Granite for domestic market. As per EIA notification 2006 the project falls under Category- B, the proponent is submitting the proposal to get Clearance for production capacity of 9975 m3/annum (Highest Production in five years)Economical -3990; Sub-grade -5985 = Total 9975 m3)of granite blocks from SEAC, SEIAA,Telangana for the purpose of grant of quarry lease.

The demand and supply for the Colour granite is growing which makes a lot of scope for revenue generation. The granite is further processed and supplied to industries after quarrying. India is amongst the leading exporter countries of stones in the world. The major importers of Indian stones are USA, China, UK, Italy, Belgium, Germany, UAE, Hong Kong, Spain, Taiwan, Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, France, Russia and CIS countries. The growth is continuing and the demand for marble, granite, sandstone and other dimensional stones and stone products is anticipated to grow at around 15% CAGR.

2.4 Employment Generation Open cast semi- mechanized mining is going to be used except for transport. About total 16 workers are going to be engaged for at least 300 days in a year for loading colour granite in to trucks / tractors/ tippers. It will provide indirect employment to several

The working project portion is devoid of any vegetation. It comprises shrubs only. In general the area is plain land. 4. PLANNING BRIEF

11


5.1 Planning Concept It is proposed to produce total of 9975Cu.m per Annum of Colour Granite from the proposed mining lease.

5.2 Population projection The project will employ mostly workers from nearby villages. About 16 persons will be employed as workers for this proposed mine. There will not be any increase in population due to the project. 5.3 Land use planning The project is located in 3.77Hectaresof patta land. There will be change in land use as the Colour granite mine will be excavated. An extent of about area will be sliced down during next five years to a depth of 10 m. 5.4 Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (Physical & Social) On the basis of the preliminary site visit, the infrastructure demand in the villages was assessed on the basis of need and priority. The assessment will be made in the socio economic survey and will be submitted at the time of final presentation regarding EC. 5.5 Amenities/Facilities It is proposed to provide the site services like Mines office and other statutory constructions like rest shelter, first aid, work shed and drinking water as required near the quarry lease. Drinking water will be supplied to the workers from the bore well opened in the adjacent quarry site & agricultural fields. 5. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE 6.1 Residential Area (Non Processing Area) As the local persons will be given employment, no residential area/ housing is proposed within the mining lease area. 6.2 Water Management The total water requirement is 3.3KLD. There are no chances for changes in quality of surface water or ground water the quarry operations will be carried out on slopes of the rocky terrain. Hence neither the ground water table nor the general surface drainage pattern is affected. No water will be discharged from the quarry.

Following measures shall be taken:

• Garland drain with sedimentation pit will be constructed all along the working pit and dump to arrest the silt.

• It shall be ensured that silt discharged from the mine area will be minimized to the utmost extent.

• Pumps of adequate capacity shall be installed to lift the accumulated rain water.

12


• It shall be ensured that good quality potable water is provided for drinking purposes. Good sanitation facilities (toilets with septic tank followed by soak pits) shall be provided and maintained for good hygienic conditions.

• The spillages form fueling of machinery shall be avoided and in case of any spillage the same shall be handled properly. Likewise the spent lubricating oils etc. shall be safely collected and properly disposed off.

6.3 Sewerage System Disposal in to soak pit shall be done. 6.4 Industrial Waste Management Not applicable. 6.5 Solid Waste management The most significant waste generating activities will occur during the operation phase, which requires the movement of large quantities of overburden, weathered and fractured rocks and other waste material.

During mining in next 5 years waste will be generated and dumped at the dumping yard. This waste shall be stacked in the dump yard to reuse for reclamation purpose. Waste will be shocked over an area of 5000 sq.m with height 3 m, in the South-West side of the area. During the next five years about 109575Cu. m of waste material will be generated. A retaining wall will be constructed around the dump for preventing the slanting of boulders. Management of waste material shall include the following:

• Soil can be utilized for reclamation of degraded area. • Weathered rock if it is sufficiently soft and devoid of rock fragments can be

utilized for roads, filling of road side ditches, formation of approach roads to quarries, construction works etc.

• Large and medium sized waste rock can be used as revetment for deep cut stream sections from preventing from soil erosion.

The waste generated during the mining will also be used for back filling of the mine pit after completion of mining. 6.6 Socio-economic Environment The occupation of the local inhabitants in surrounding villages of the mine area is Agriculture. The mining activity in this belt will benefit the locals both directly and indirectly. The directly beneficiaries will be those who get employed in the mines as skilled and unskilled workers. The indirect beneficiaries will be those who open small business to sell goods required by the residents whose “per capita” income will be enhanced by the mining activity, and thereby their purchasing power will be increased.

13


In the long run a lot of social goods are expected in the comparatively backward area when the inhabitants will be able to send their children to school. 6.7 Occupational Safety & Health Management

• Periodical Medical Examination (PME) of all workers before recruitment and during mining operations.

• Total workers in the mine – 16 • Mine operators were provided with personal protective equipment’s (PPEs)

include safety helmets and footwear, in addition to ear, eye, and hand protection devices.

• Dust masks were provided for workers. • Potable drinking water & shelter for mine workers will be provided.

6.8 Monitoring during Project Phase (active mining) Pollution monitoring program includes periodic analysis of air, noise levels and groundwater samples. Groundwater samples at representative locations within and nearby the lease area shall be periodically analyzed to detect contamination if any. In the event of any contamination, concerned authorities shall be notified immediately and appropriate corrective measures shall also be initiated. The monitoring shall also help in knowing the effectiveness of abatement measures and also be a guide for further steps to be taken, if required. 6.8.1 Monitoring Strategy The monitoring of various environmental parameters is necessary and is a part of environmental protection measures. Monitoring is as important as that of control of pollution since the efficiency of control measures can only be determined by monitoring. A well-defined environmental monitoring program would be employed with trained and qualified staff to monitor the ambient air quality to check whether the quality of emissions/effluents is maintained within the permissible limits. Environmental attributes should be monitored as given below:

• Ambient Air quality • Water quality • Noise levels • Soil characteristics •

Locations and frequency of monitoring should be as per the guidelines of TSPCB.

6.8.2 Ambient Air Monitoring As per MoEF there is a need to identify 3 ambient air stations at 120o angle keeping the main source in the center. The ground level concentrations of suspended particulate matter, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the ambient air within the project boundaries will be monitored at regular intervals.

14


6.8.3 Noise Monitoring Noise levels in the workspace environment will be monitored periodically. If any deviation is observed necessary corrective measures will be taken. Monitoring noise levels is essential to assess the efficacy of maintenance of schedules undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise protection measures. A good quality sound pressure level meter is essential for this purpose. This work can be handled by plant authorities themselves or by hiring services of an external agency. Noise surveillance is for the benefit of the workers wellbeing and to keep track of machinery wear and tear. 6.8.4 Water Quality Monitoring Groundwater near the project site will be routinely tested for its quality. No contamination of groundwater is expected. Groundwater is recommended to be monitored in at least other wells/ bores in the area adjacent to the QL area in the direction of ground water flow to keep surveillance on the groundwater quality. 6.8.5 Use of Explosives Blasting activities that may result in safety impacts are typically related to accidental explosion and poor coordination and communication of blasting activities. The proponent will be using low explosives and silent non explosive demolishing agents will be used to minimize the effects of vibration. Control measures to be taken during blasting are:

• Specific warning devices (e.g. horn signals, flashing lights) and procedures should be implemented before each blasting activity to alert all workers and third parties in the surrounding areas (e.g. the resident population). Warning procedures may be needed to include traffic limitation along local roadways.

• Actively managing blasting activities in terms of loading, priming, and firing explosives, drilling near explosives, misfired shots and disposal.

• Adoption of consistent blasting schedules, minimizing blast- time changes. • Rules and regulations laid down for safe storage and handling of the explosives

as per the explosives Act will be strictly maintained. • Specific personnel training on explosives handling and safety management

should be conducted. • Blasting sites should be checked post-blast by qualified personnel for

malfunctions and unexploded blasting agents, prior to resumption of work. 6.8.6 Machine and Equipment Safety To prevent and control hazards related to machine and equipment use, measures for the enhancement of visibility should be applied throughout the mine. Specific visibility management practices may include the following:

• Use of reflective markings on structures, traffic junctions, and other areas with a potential for accidents.

• Use of contrast Colouring on equipment / machinery, including the provision of reflective markings to enhance visibility.

15


• Use of moving equipment / machinery equipped with improved operator sightlines.

• Installing safety barriers in high-risk locations of internal roads / transportcorridors. Barriers may be constructed with refuse or other materials capable tostopping vehicles.

6.8.7 Greenbelt Development It is proposed that about 20 saplings during the plan period at the rate of 4 saplings per annum in buffer zone with an area of 320 m2.

7. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLANAn extent of about area will be sliced down during next five years to a depth of 10 m. The proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining activity will be done at the end of mining lease. No reclamation is proposed in the first five years period because, the mining will be continued to further depths and reclamation will be possible only after completion of mining up to the proposed depths. Reclamation and rehabilitation of the lands affected by mining will be done by back filling, soil amelioration and afforestation. This will be taken up on need basis before the conclusion of mining operations. The backfilling of the mine starts from the Eastern end proceeds towards Western side. Drainage will be developed. Reclamation of the affected land includes back filling, drainage development, spreading and fertilization of soil, leveling and re-vegetation etc. Care will be taken to implement the said factors.

8. PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATESM/s. M. Surender Reddy have allocated budget of 8.15 Lakhs (Capital Cost) and 1.48 Lakhs (Recurring Cost) for the environmental protection measures.

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)

9.1 Financial and Social Benefits with Special Emphasis on the Benefit to the Local People Including Tribal Population, If Any, In the Area.

The project involves collection of Colour Granite. It is a major contributor in foreign exchange earnings. India is the second largest exporter of raw granite after China and ahead of Brazil and South Africa. This project will also provide employment to local people helping them earn livelihood.

Quartz Pegmatite Gneisses (QPG). Basically the dykes are massive discordant body with Northeast to Southwest direction in discontinuous body at surface. General trend of granties is NNW-SSE and which is follows general trend of the Dharwars. The quarry lease area is part of the "Granitoid gneiss"region which is younger than Dharwar Super Group (Kanungo D.N. et al. 1976, Rajesham T. et al.,1993 and Chakwick. B. et al. 2000). The granite comprises of porphyritic texture with phenocryst is of alkali feldspars which are formed by intrusive into the pre-existing older formation hornblende-biotite granite (gneissose) or grantiferous granitic rocks. Numerous fractures observed are helpful in dislocating the granite blocks. The area is subjected to prolonged weathering and crustal disturbances over a past geological time era is resulted in numerous secondary fractures, which will aid in recovering of granite blocks with ease. 2.1.1 Local Geology The soil covers is mostly reddish brown with mixture of silt and sand occasionally clay bottom of the soil covers highly weathered murram (harder pale coarse grained)which is periphery of the area on north side along the boundary line. But major portion of the area is covered by weathered granitic-gneiss out crop. The position of quarry lease area is mostly big grantic boulders and weathered rocks are removed and extracting thick material of granite in form of small to bigger size. The extracted portion of granitic blocks contains medium size to uneven surface and boulders with multiple fractures and joints. The granitic blocks are designed such way as per marketable sizes 6X4X3m and smaller 1×1×0.5 m in the area. The litho unit of the area is as follows: Soil Cover : loose reddish brown with mixture of silt and sand Gneissic Porphyry granite : Ripples multi-colour granite (boulder area) Light pink Granites (Brown colour) gnesis : Alkali Feldspar rich migmatite sheet rock 2.2 Brief Description of the Litho Units: In the Quarry lease area litho units are soil cover, Gneissic porphyritic granites and migamtite gneiss. The rock is comprises of Quartz-Feldspar-Migmatite gneiss, with minor amounts of alkalifelspar, hornblende, granodiorite chlorite and epidote. Plagioclase is saussauaritised giving rise to segregations of epidotic-chlorite-actionlite forming- a typical granitic rock. Folded alternating K-felspar giving rises to more addition advantage on polishing. 2.3 Exploration/Prospecting The proposed mine plan of quarry lease area is not in mining operation of granite blocks. It is proposed to start operations from eastern part and proceed to central part of quarry by establishing bench operations for extraction of granite blocks. The bench will be maintained with a height ranging from 6 to 10 meters. Granite is exposed throughout the quarry lease area in form of hill Pediplain terrain from ground surface to 2 m elevation.



No Granite is exposed on the surface/ outcrop in proposed quarry lease area and already adjacent quarry lease undergoing mining operations nearly 20m down to the depth and the same has been considered under proved category. Evidences of depth persistence further to a depth of another 20 meters considered for probable reserves. Based on the topography further 20 meters considered for possible reserves.

3. For other mines not known. 4.0 Mining Methodology

a) Type of Mining:

The proposed quarry lease area and the adjacent quarry is full in operation with opencast semi-mechanized method is adopted for quarrying and simultaneously developing multiple benches. Overburden consists of thin to thick soil cover and weathered granite rock which is of no use and is a waste. The big boulders may be cut in to blocks of varying sizes. The sheet rock so exposed is developed into a mine face/working face. Splitting is effected by wedging the line holes made using jack hammers operated by compressed air. The split block is examined for hairline cracks etc., and dressed to a geometrical shape. In the present, proposed quarry area will be adopted same methodology in quarry operation. The proposed quarry on operational with a targeted annual production of 20000 Cu.m per year colour granite. During the proposed five year on an average 20000 Cu.m to 20500 Cu.m per annum.

4.2 Mining program for next 5 years:

During the, first V Year Plan Period, quarrying for colour Granite will be commenced in the quarry Block of East to central of quarry area from the surface to underground to down slope from its 311m edge at 315m R.L., in the I year and end at 312m RL in the V year 280m Rl. (Plates: Va & Vb) (Table VIII). The Quarry area shows slight slope towards southern side with an altitude 311m and low towards western and west-south part of quarry lease area with a distance of around 120 m. In all, two full benches will be formed, each with a uniform height of 6m and width 10m or 12m during the plan period (Plate-Va) and first two years bench are made and quarry is in full operational. A uniform pit-slope angle of 45° will be maintained all around the quarry in a systematic fashion. However, the quarry will reach the north from Middle West of the quarry block only towards the end of the V year of the plan period.

Rainfall of area 161.9 mm/annum Mean Wind Speed 4.4 km/hr (Source: Climatalogical Normals IMD) 7.0 Project Specific Impacts & Environment Management Plan To check harmful effects of mining activity in lease area Environmental Management plan has been proposed. Environmental management approach includes action to protect environment by using instruments, direct regulatory requirements or incorporating technological features. It provides the remedial solutions of the problems. 7.1 Air Environment a) Impacts: Dust generation during mining activities is the major impact on air environment due to mining of granite. The major sources of air pollution are: Drilling, Blasting Loading and Unloading Transportation and handling of waste and top soil Transportation and handling of granite blocks. b) Mitigation Measures Following measures shall be taken to mitigate the effect of mining operation over air environment:

1. Regular spraying of water by water sprinkling system. 2. The dust anticipated during dry seasons, due to haulage will be suppressed by

sprinkling water. For this purpose, tractor mounted sprinkler will be deployed. 3. To reduce dust generation during loading operation water shall be sprayed over

the muck pile to the loading material. 4. Periodic maintenance of haulage roads 5. Regular maintenance of vehicles and machinery. 6. Providing dust masks to all the workers. 7. Plantation along the lease boundary.



7.2 Noise Environment a) Impacts:

The main sources of noise in mining activity are drilling, material handling machinery, loading equipment etc.

b) Mitigation Measures Following mitigation measures should be taken to control noise pollution: Workers will be provided with earmuffs, earplugs. Proper lubrication and maintenance of equipment, vehicles and machinery. Controlled blasting will be done to minimize the vibrations. Speed of the vehicles entering and leaving the mining lease will be limited to

25 kmph. Unnecessary use of horns by the drivers of the vehicles shall be avoided. Diesel generator sets shall be provided with integral acoustic enclosure at

the manufacturing stage itself The lessee will apply latest techniques for extracting the blocks using wire

saw cutting / splitting by chemical compound etc. to reduce the noise generation.

7.3 Water Environment a) Impacts Effect of quarrying activities on the ground water regime are meager and deterioration of ground water quality is ruled out as quarrying operations are in a small scale and mining will be located at higher levels than the ground water table. The dumping yard may contribute by way of leaches during rainy season only, but every measure will be taken to stabilize the waste dumps.

c) Mitigation Measures The following measures proposed to arrest surface runoff.

a) There is no erosion/sedimentation in the area because there will not be water discharge from working mine pits except during monsoon

b) There are no chances for change in quality of surface water or ground water. c) Garland drains will be constructed around waste dump. d) There is no disposal and treatment of water from mines. e) Domestic wastewater will be sent to the septic tank followed by soak pit

7.4 Greenbelt Development It is proposed that about 20 saplings during the plan period at the rate of 4 saplings per annum. The Plantation Details during Plan period given in Table.10.

Total 150 Plants are planted by Cluster mines in the buffer zone. 7.5 Solid waste management The most significant waste generating activities will occur during the operation phase, which requires the movement of large quantities of overburden, weathered and fractured rocks and other waste material. During mining in next 5 years waste will be generated and dumped at the dumping yard. This waste shall be stacked in the dump yard to reuse for reclamation purpose. Waste will be shocked overran area of 5000 sq.m with height 7 m, in the South-North side of the area. During the next five years about 109575Cu. m of waste material will be generated. A retaining wall will be constructed around the dump for preventing the slanting of boulders. Management of waste material shall include the following: • Soil can be utilized for reclamation of degraded area. • Weathered rock if it is sufficiently soft and devoid of rock fragments can be utilized for roads, filling of road side ditches, formation of approach roads to quarries, construction works etc. • Large and medium sized waste rock can be used as revetment for deep cut stream sections from preventing from soil erosion. The waste generated during the mining will also be used for back filling of the mine pit after completion of mining.



7.6 Measures to Improve Socio Economic Conditions As this is small mine the lease holder will be not be able to provide housing, educational, housing etc. facilities to workers but he will increase employment opportunities.The state Government will get tax due to mining and selling of granite.

7.7 Occupational Safety & Health Management

M/s. M.Surendar Reddy and other cluster mines will take all the necessary steps to provide better occupational safety and health. Occupational health and safety issues occur during all phases of the mine cycle and can be classified according to the following categories: General workplace health and safety Hazardous substances Use of explosives Electrical safety and isolation Physical hazards Fitness for work Noise and vibration

7.7.1 General Workplace Health and Safety Recommended strategies to manage general workplace safety hazards include the following: Mining exploration and development activities should manage occupational health and safety hazards as part of a comprehensive health and safety management plan incorporating the following aspects: Training of employees on the recognition and prevention of occupational

hazards specifically applicable to work. Integration of behavioral considerations into health and safety management,

including on thejob behavioral observation processes. Signage in risky areas, installations, materials, safety measures and other

such areas should include standards of cleanliness, visibility and reflectance in areas of potentially poor illumination or sources of dust and pollution, be known and easily understood by workers, visitors and as appropriate to the general public.

Periodical Medical Examination (PME) of all workers by a medical specialist so that any adverse effect may be detected in its early stage. Medical records shall be maintained.

Providing Personal Protective Equipment to workers such as safety helmets and footwear, in addition to ear, eye, and hand protection devices.

Occupational health assessments should be conducted for employees on a regular basis, based on exposure to risk.



7.8 Machine and Equipment Safety To prevent and control hazards related to machine and equipment use, measures for the enhancement of visibility should be applied throughout the mine. Specific visibility management practices may include the following:

Use of reflective markings on structures, traffic junctions, and other areas with a potential for accidents.

Use of contrast coloring on equipment / machinery, including the provision of reflective markings to enhance visibility.

Use of moving equipment / machinery equipped with improved operator sight lines.

Installing safety barriers in high-risk locations of internal roads / transport corridors. Barriers may be constructed with refuse or other materials capable to stopping vehicles.

8.0 Post Project Monitoring Post project monitoring program includes periodic analysis of air, ground water, soil and noise samples. The samples shall be periodically tested to detect contamination. In the event of any contamination, concerned authorities shall be notified immediately and appropriate corrective action in consultation with an approved consultant shall be initiated. 8.1 Monitoring Strategy The monitoring of various environmental parameters is necessary and is a part and parcel of the environmental protection measures. Monitoring is as important as that of control of pollution since the efficiency of control measures can only be determined by monitoring. A well-defined environmental monitoring program would be employed with trained and qualified staff for monitoring. A comprehensive monitoring program is suggested underneath.Environmentalattributes should be monitored as given below:

• Air pollution and meteorological aspects. • Water and wastewater quality. • Noise levels. • Soil characteristics. • Ecological preservation and upgradation.

8.1.1 Ambient Air Monitoring As per MOEF there is a need to identify 3 ambient air stations at 120o angle keeping the main source in the center. The concentrations of particulate matter, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the ambient air outside the project boundaries and in the adjoining villages will be monitored at regular intervals.Any deviation from predicted/expected values will be investigated and necessary action will be taken.



8.1.2 Noise Monitoring Noise levels in the workspace environment will be monitored periodically. If any deviation is observed necessary corrective measures will be taken. Monitoring noise levels is essential to assess the efficacy of maintenance of schedules undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise protection measures. A good quality sound pressure level meter is essential for this purpose. This work can be handled by plant authorities themselves or by hiring services. Noise surveillance is for the benefit of the workers well being and to keep track of machine wear.

8.1.3 Monitoring of Water Quality Ground water near the project site will be routinely tested for its quality. No contamination of ground water and surface water is expected. However these waters will be periodically tested for any change of water quality. Ground water is recommended to be monitored in at least two villages in the direction of ground water flow to keep surveillance on the ground water quality.

9.0 Budget for Environmental Protection Measures M/s. M. Surender Reddy is allocating budget of Capital cost of Rs. 8.15 Lakhs & Recurring Cost Rs. 1.48 Lakhs. The details are given below in Table 11.

a. Brief Description of Topography

The proposed quarry lease area is not much elevated area almost plain land at an altitude of about 314 m above mean sea level (msl) Fig No.2. The north and south boundary follows the path at contour elevation is about 314m and 311 msl and contour elevation difference is 3 m msl.

The area is pediplain with minor lineaments in NW-SE, NE-SW and N-S trends. The area is generally N-S high ground almost the area slopes towards south. The major drainage course is flowing towards North-south and East to West towards lower Maneeru dam. The drainage is dentritic to sub-dentritic and drainage courses is first order, having well defined courses traversing continuously with scattered cultivated agricultural fields.

The approximate difference in land elevation between the highest and lowest points is about 5 m around 2 km radius. ·

Topographical Survey (surface and Geological)

Ceo-coordinates are recorded using GPS (Trimble make) (it represents frequency time and position tracking with accurate precision with + or - 1 to 2m resolution) is considered as baseline is overlay on topo-sheet contours, the levels were taken using total station of LEICA with 5 em accuracy covering the total quarry lease area.

The geological traverse is made on outcrop from X-Y section using Burton and prismatic compass were used to record Strike, Dip and back bearing. The vertical and horizontal joints and faults are transferred from the outcrop to the map.

Reduced Levels: (RLs): At proposed quarry site no bench mark is found within reasonable distance as such established by Survey of India (SOl), hence an assumed datum is used for purpose. ABM assumed bench mark is established on the quarry at northern boundary in a firm rock. Later, this bench is connected to the bench locally established at to canal lower Maneeru 311m msl (mean sea level) from south of proposed quarry lease area. Thereafter all the contours levels h een reduced to established bench as per WGS-84 datum. ,~,a\e ef M1i)

Structural Features:

There are no major structural elements associated in the formation. Linear features are recognizable for short distances with development of typical straight drainage courses following the week planes such as, to northwest and southeast. Two sets of joints along surface resulting in to the formation is typical joint pattern as found to the northw~st side of the area.

c. Local Geology

The soil covers is mostly reddish brown with mixture of silt and sand occasionally clay bottom of the soil covers highly weathered murram (harder pale coarse grained)which is periphery of the area on north side along the boundary line. But major portion of the area is covered by weathered granitic-gneiss out crop. The position of quarry lease area is mostly big grantic boulders and weathered rocks are removed and extracting thick material of granite in form of small to bigger size. The extracted portion of granitic blocks contains medium size to uneven surface and boulders with multiple fractures and joints.

The granitic blocks are designed such way as per marketable sizes 6X4X3m and smaller lXlXO.Sm in the area.

The litho unit of the area is as follows:

Litho Units:

In the Quarry lease area litho units are soil cover, Gneissic porphyritic granites and rnigamtite gneiss. The rock is comprises of Quartz-Feldspar-Migmatite gneiss, with minor amounts of alkalifelspar, hornblende, granodiorite chlorite and epidote. Plagioclase is saussauaritised giving rise to segregations of epidotic-chlorite-actionlite forming- a typical granitic rock. Folded alternating K-ielspar giving rises to more addition advantage on polishing.

Microscopy:

Detailed microscopic examination of thin section of a representative sample of subject quarry lease area and the constituent minerals reveals that the minerals do not show any alteration characters detrimental to polishing quality. Under microscope the average minerals constitutes or composition is as given below:

The proposed mine plan of quarry lease area is not in mining operation of granite blocks. It is proposed to start operations from eastern part and proceed to north and central part of quarry by establishing bench operations for extraction of granite blocks. The bench will be maintained with an height ranging from 6 to 10 meters. Granite is exposed throughout the quarry lease area in form of Pediplain terrain from ground surface to 2m elevation.

No Granite is exposed on the surface/ outcrop in proposed quarry lease area and already adjacent quarry lease undergoing mining operations nearly 20m down to the depth and the same has been considered under proved category. Evidences of depth persistence further to a depth of another 20 meters considered for probable reserves. Based on the topography further 20 meters considered for possible reserves.

b. Future Programme

To convert the probable and possible reserves to proved category it is proposed to drill a bore hole to a depth of 40 meters from the pit bottom. As such geologically depth persistence of granite is assured.

V. Reserves:

Guidelines under MCDR for United Nations framework classification of mineral reserves/resources:-

Total Mineral Resources:

A concentration (or occurrence) or material of intrinsic economic interest. Reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. Location, grade, quantity, geological characteristic known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.

I. Measw·ed Mineral Resource (331) : That part of mineral resource for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a high level of confidence ie. Based on detailed exploration.

II. Indicated Mineral Resource (332}: Tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristic, grade and mineral content can be estimated with reasonable level of confidence based on exploration, sampling and. testing information, location of borehole, pits etc., too widely spaced.

III. Inferred Mineral Resource (333): Tonnage, grade and mineral content can be estimated with low level of confidence. Inferred from Geological evidence.

The reserves are computed based on available exposure on surface and subsurface lithology. The soil and weather granite formations visible from the surface ground level upto some extent upto 5m and the sheet rock is encountered from 5 to 7m to the further depth upto 60m below. However, only 20m thickness is taken for computation of proved deposit then 20m probable deposit and 20m possible deposit is considered as Resources. All the reverses and resources are calculated and contour elevations were connected to the Reduce Levels (RL's) 311 m msl (mean sea level) local-bench mark established to lower Maneeru Canal.

The reserves and resources of the colour granite are together were computed based on the geological cross-section method, which is presumed to be more accurate. A total of 3 Geological cross-section where drawn based on the maximum extent of area to be geological covered, then contour elevation from ground to exposures in the field viz. a- a', b- b' and c-c' (Plates III & IV). The area of colour , ·~O'Mt;r~761 ~sured in each of these cross-sections and multiplied by respective ler ~ \.<) influ . s if get its volume. The reserves of the colour granite are catec v ~ 11)/

Mineable Reserves, Resources and Life of the Mine:

The estimated total mineable reserves and resources in 3 geological cross sections of colour granite and its economical, sub-grade quantity (1st and 2nd grade) blocks is about 244500 cu.m (col.5 & 6 table VI) and leaving the safety pit slope 45° (col. 3 table VI) as well as left out in barrier zone 7.5 m (co1.2.table VI) is about 289400 cu.m with quarried waste throughout life of the mine is about 733500 cu.m in quarry lease area will be quarried at the rate around 20,000 cu.m per year. The deposit in the quarry lease will last for a period of around 49 years estimated including possible reserves (Col.8, Table VI). The life of the mine was calculated around 32 years as per IBM guidelines (By considering proved reserve). The detailed is as follows:

Life of the Mine:=(Total Mineable Proved Reserves ) - (Slope, bulfer-zone)

VI. Mining a. Type of mining

Actual anticipated annual production

The proposed quarry lease area and the adjacent quarry is full in operation with opencast semi-mechanised method is adopted for quarrying and si:rp.ultaneously developing multiple benches. Overburden consists of thin to thick soil cover and weathered granite rock which is of no use and is a waste. The big boulders may be cut in to blocks of varying sizes. The sheet rock so exposed is developed into a mine face/working face. Splitting is effected by wedging the line holes made using jack hammers operated by compressed air. The split block is examined for hairline cracks etc., and dressed to a geometrical shape. In the present, proposed quarry area will be adopted same methodology in quarry operation. The proposed quarry on operational with a targeted annual production of 20000 Cu.m per year colour granite. During the proposed five year on an average 20000 Cu.m to 20500 Cu.m per annum.

Sri. Ni. Surender Reddy-3.770 Hect.- Mine Plan Year: 2016-2021

The Primary Economical Blocks (6m X4m X3m) and Sub-graded blocks of colour granite will be separated and dislodged from parental rock by utilizing diamond wiresaw, drilling and blasting, and excavators. The Diamond wire-saw cutting machine shall be used in major part of quarrying. Drilling and blasting shall be kept at a lowkey, and resorted to only in cases of dire necessity when the diamond wire saw cutting machine cannot reach the cutting face. To achieve this end, a number 1" dia drill holes will be drilled in a single row on the horizontal surface of the rock maintaining a uniform depth of 6m to 9m for each hole and a spacing of 30 em between consecutive holes. The drill holes will be planned in such a way as to take advantage of natural planes viz., joints, fractured etc., in the rock. A Series of such rows of drill holes will be drilled maintaining a burden of 3 m between Gunpowder slurry explosive and instant detonating cards. The prime objective of drilling and blasting will be to dislodge the biggest possible primary blocks from the parental rock and to maintain the stipulated dimensions of the mine bench at the same time. Taking the joints and defects inherent to the rock into cognizance the primary blocks are sawed into secondary blocks by using diamond wise saw cutting machine. While doing so, the objective should always to obtain as big gang-saw sizes, as possible, because the bigger sized blocks arc always priced high in the market. The dislodged blocks will be lifted to the top surface by using Derrick Crane and dressed to appropriate shapes and sizes by using jack-hammer drills and /or hammer and chisels. Safety should be paid utmost importance while dealing with the heavy machinery. The sizes of the finished commercial blocks produced in the existing quarry in the subject area range from 3X2X2m or 3x2.5x2.5m i.e., upto 12 to 14m. The undesirable hairline cracks, joints and any other defect will be used for other purpose.

The region is a part of the sub-basin Godavari river drainage basin. The easterly flowing ephemeral streams that streams they joins major drain which flowing north -south into Lower Manner dam.(Plate-I)

2. Water regime

The quarrying activity is being taking place at lower to lightly elevated place compared to natural ground level. The water table is about 14-19.5m below natural ground. Hence, the water regime of ground water and natural streams does not affect in any manner.

3. Flora and Fauna

No flora and fauna is reported except small shrubs.

4. Quality of Air, Ambient noise levels and water

The ambient air quality is good, as the region does not witness any major industrial or mining activities. In generat the prescribed AAQ base levels are: SPM -140, PSPM- 60; 502-40, C0-1.0, and N0-40 and the allowable levels are SPM-360, PSPM-120, 502-80, C0-5.0, and N0-8 (all values in micrograms/ cu.m). In the environs of the subject area, these values are well within the permissible limits.

So far as, the noise levels are concerned, the value of 85 dB(A) is prescribed as the warning limit below which exists very little risk of hearing impairment to an unprotected ear for a continued exposure of eight hours. The acceptable noise level in the rural areas, like the present area, is 25 to 35 dB(A). The ambient noise levels in the environs of the subject area are well within these acceptable limits, as the diamond wiresaw machine has replaced blasting in the major part of the quarrying operations in many of the operational quarries.

The desirable limits of water yuality set by ISQ 10500- 1994 are: (1) colour 5, (2) Odour/Taste: Unobjectionable, (3) Turbidity: 5 NTU, (4) pH value 6.5- 8.5, (5) TDS: 500 mg/litre and (6) Total Hardness: 300 mg/litre, and the maximum permissible limits are: (1) colour 25, (2) Odour/Taste: Unobjectionable, (3) Turbidity: 10 NTU, (4) pH value 6.5 - 8.5, (5) TDS: 2000 mg/litre and (6) Total Hardness: 600 mg/litre,. In the subject area, the values are much below the maximum permissible limits. The surface water and ground water are potable and harmless to the human, animal and plant health as the country rock, the colour granite, is devoid of any kind of toxic elements.

5. Climatic conditions

The Karimnagar district suffers from hot climate, the summer especially being extremely dry. The year may be divided into four seasons in this ·on. The summer season starts by about the Middle of February and continu · ~:>a;'ta1Etf:·~), . eek of June. The heat in April and May is oppressive to the extent · .

Northeast monsoon contributes 10% is 6 days and the summer season contributes 5% of the annual rainfall in 5 days. The annual variation of rainfall is conspicuous. Analysis of the rainfall for the last five years shows that the district has received deficit rainfall during 3 years and normal rainfall for the other two years. The cumulative departure for the last five years from the normal rainfall is -107% 2000 to 2005 which indicate that the district is facing continuous drought situation. The scanty rainfall has received during this period.

6. Human Settlement

There are a number of human settlements around the quarry lease area. The following is a list of villages falling within the 5 Km buffer zone around the subject area along with the distance and direction of each village with reference to the Quarry Lease area (1) Nagulamalyala(1.5 km Northeast) & Narsingpuram (2 km northwestern), (2) Waddiaram (1.5 km south) (3) Baopet (4 km East).

5. Vibration levels

Heavy blasting causes undesirable increase in the vibration levels that may damage the surrounding structures. However, there will not be much of a vibration in the present case of quarrying operations, as the diamond wire-saw cutting machine replaces drilling and blasting to a large extent. Hence, the drilling and blasting operations are minimal. Even in case of occasional blasting, gun powder slurry I soft explosives only will be used. Moreover, the blast holes will be covered with sand bags to reduce the impact of blasting and the resultant vibration levels.

6. Water Regime

The subject quarry lease the area lies on pediplain (plate-!). As there is surface water body is found in the 750 m adjacent of Quarry lease which manner river flowing in the NW- NE direction. The surface water regime will not get affected by the proposed quarrying operations. Moreover, the mine waters being devoid of any toxic elements will not cause any damage to either the surface water or ground water regimes n the vicinity. However, due precautions shall be taken by canalizing the water that leaves in the mine area through a number of siltation tanks dug enroute. The SSP laden mine water will settle the silt particles in these tanks before leaving the mine area. The siltation tanks shall be cleaned periodically, especially during the monsoon period, to maintain their full capacities for effective functioning.

7. Socio-economics

The quarry Lease area being very small will not cause discernible affects on the socioeconomics of the nearby human settlements. In fact, the villagers get benefited by the proposed quarrying by way of employment opportunities i' r l...-::::l~m~..n

5. Stabilisation and Vegetation of dumps along with waste dump Management year wise for first five years.

Waste dumps yard develops certain relief, later it will intact with boulders and utilizing top most soil for shallow plantations which prevents landsides. These dump yards are also prevent from soil erosion at rain fled time.

6. Meas;ure of control erosion/sedimentation of water courses.

All the precautionary measures shall be taken to present SSP carried away by the rainwater from. the Q.L. the area. The sources of SSP are the mine drainage and the waste pump. The erosion of waste dump will be prevented by strengthening it by contouring and growing bushy plants, so that the finer waste particles don't get carried away by the run-off rain water.

7. Treatment and disposal of water from mines

No special treatment for removal of harmful elements in the mine waters is required, as the quarried rock is colour granite it does not contain any toxic elements harmful to the human, animal, aquatic or plant lives. Thus, the water from the quarry shall only be de-silted before it leaves the Q.L. area, as it is likely to contain SSP. For this purpose, siltation tanks will be built at regular intervals along with mai~ .-~ I"?if . annel that

In the north of Q.L. near to the area there is a surface water body and there is no any surface body near vicinity of the Q.L. areas. As the mine water does not contain any toxic elements that are harmful to the animal or plant lives, the question of it conta~inating the groundwater also does not arise.

9. Protective measures for ground vibrations

Heavy blasting causes undesirable vibration levels that may damage the surrounding structures. However, in the present case of quarry]ng operations, with diamond wiresaw cutting machine replaces blasting for a maj r part. Drilling and blasting shall be deployed only in cases of dire necessity. Even in such instances, only gunpowder slurry and instant detonating cards will be used for blasting. Moreover, the blast-holes will be covered with sandbags to reduce the impact of blasting and the resultant vibration levels.

10. Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of human, settlements likely to be disturbed due to mining activity

There are neither historical monuments nor any human inhabitation either within or in the vicinity of the Q.L. the area.

11. Socio-economic benefits arising out of mining

The proposed quarrying may provide employment for the villages in the nearby villages as semiskilled and unskilled workers. Awareness of utility of the quarried rock in the domestic and foreign circles will be another socio-economic benefit for the local people.
