2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent
The proposed project area is found to have good deposits of Black granite. Granite is used as a construction material for flooring, coverings and cladding, making of kitchen articles, sculptures, etc.
2.2 Brief Information about the Project
The mining lease area of 1.00 Ha. is located in Government land. Open cast semi mechanized mining is followed and it has been proposed to produce approximately 418m3/annum of Black granite. The nearest habitation is Ravigudem is located at North East direction from lease area.
Sri. K. Subramanyam has filed an application for quarry lease for Black granite over an extent of 1.00 ha, in Sy.No. 160/A of Ravigudem Village Dornakal Mandal Warangal District, Telangana to the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology,Warangal.
The Director of Mines & Geology, Hyderabad has decided to grant a quarry lease in favor of M/s. Sri Granites for a period of 20 years subject to submission of Approved Mining Plan within a period of 6 months from the date of issue.
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 2016 the project falls under Below 5 Hectors comes Category- B2, the proponent is submitting the proposal to get Clearance for production capacity of 418 m3/ annum of granite blocks from DEAC, DEIAA, in District for the purpose of grant of quarry lease.
2.4 Demands-Supply Gap
The demand and supply for the Black granite is growing which makes a lot of scope for revenue generation. Once the stone is obtained after quarrying it is further processed and supplied to industries.

3.5.1 Regional Geological setup
The Geological formations in the Warangal District can broadly be divided in distinct and well-marked groups and older group of Metamorphic rocks belonging to Archean and Younger group of Sedimentary rocks belonging to the Proterozoic age the later cover part of Devanakonda block. The remaining parts of District is Occupied by Archean rocks which consist of Schist, Gneisses, Quartz veins and basic dykes. The Archean rocks have suffered considerable degree of tectonic disturbances, as a result of which the rocks have been metamorphosed and recrystallized.
3.5.2 Local Geology
The Black Colour Granite in the Distinct form of occurrence as dolerite dyke swarms in either side of the Grey granites & Gneisses. The Subject area belongs to a hillock extended in EW & NW direction and gently sloping towards South direction with Colour Granite Sheet Rock intruded as Dolerite dyke. The rock is highly puckered, sheared and faulted and has schistosity trending between WNW & ESE with moderate to steep dips in either Easterly and Westerly directions. The peninsular gneissic complex comprises gneisses (migmatite), gray granite, and Pink Granite and Gneissic granite. The gneiss in general show banding due to alteration of light colored

quartzo- feldspathic minerals and dark colored biotite or hornblende minerals. These rocks may be separated in to two distinct groups namely the massive foliated types occur as low dome shaped hillocks. The intrusive relationship of the granite rock is evident by the presence of tongues and apophyges within the older rocks and the occurrence of xenoliths of the older rocks within the granite.
3.5.3 Reserves
Total Black Granite reserves = 1,92,160.00 m3
Proved Reserves = 19,216.00 m3
Life of the Quarry: = 19,091/328 = 58 years

3.6 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS
3.6.1 Method of Mining
a) Type of Mining:
Open cast method of mining is carried out in this mine by manually and semi mechanization by using compressor operated jack hammer drills, excavators, and dumper etc, Transportation will be made by trucks to dispatching point.
b) Brief Description: (Existing method of working)
The mining operations are carried out by semi-mechanization as open cast mining. Hydraulic excavator and compresses operated jack hammers were used for cutting the rock. Close spaced drilling of 0.2m was adopted along a straight line and charged with low explosives to avoid feather cracks.
c) Removal / Excavation of O.B. and other Quarry Waste:
The south – western side of the area is selected for dump yard for next five years and the waste will be stocked over a length of 70 mts. With width of 56 mts. To height of 12.0 mts. Step dumping will be resorted. This material can be utilized to fill the pits after quarry operations are over. When the dumps reach their optimum height suitable greenery will be grown on this dump to stabilize them.
d) Separation of large primary Blocks from the mother rock by pre-splitting
(Primary):
The mining will be followed in the form of linear cut method. This involves loosing of the primary block from mother rock. Hence primary cutting will be done by line drilling method where close spaced parallel holes along straight line will be made. Line drilling method is used for separation of primary blocks.
PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT

i. Once the free face is developed in working place, the primary cuts are taken up over a maximum length of 10m to a width of 3m and to a depth of 6m depends upon the joints availability. These dimensions are confirmed as for field studies. Primary block will be cut into secondary blocks by Jackhammer drilling and wedge cutting and this block will be dislodged from in-situ position by an excavator.
ii. Line drilling method will be used for cutting the primary blocks which involve drilling and blasting.
iii. The holes are charged with low explosive cartridge like gun powder and non-delay detonators for smooth blasting.
iv. The use of delay detonates causes fragmentation and cracks in rocks. The non detonating cords are inserted into the holes and the holes are stemmed with muck and plugged at the mouth and fired.
v. Thus the block will separate from the mother rock, which is pulled off from the face with cranes or shovel.
e) Sub-Division of large Primary Blocks into Secondary Block:
This will be done drilling close spaced holes (along a line) down to the depth and the secondary block will be removed easily by just pulling it with the help of proclain. Close spaced holes will be drilled to the half the length of the block on either side of it by using wedges blocks can be separated.
f) Production of Commercial Blocks:
Major boulders exposed are used for small size marketable blocks. After primary separation
the rock mass will be carefully examined to avoid hair line cracks, mineral segregations and
veins etc., the dressing of the rough blocks will be made by chipping the edges and
geometrically equating the edges of the block at the dressing yard. The rough blocks obtained
after primary cut it will be dressed for obtained good geometric shape of granite. Thus the
commercial blocks are produced.
g) Extent of Mechanization
The machinery used to carry out the mining operations are given Table 3.3
