Brief Description of the Project:

Geology:

Regional Geology:

The district can be broadly divided into four geological domains viz., the Peninsula Gneissic

Complex in the north and central part, ii) the Migmatite Complex in the southcentral part,

(iii) the Charnockite Group in the south and (iv) the Wayanad Group in the north. Wayanad

Group of supracrustal rocks include garnet-sillimanite-biotite gneiss with or without

graphite, kyanite-fuchsite-muscovite-quarts schist, hornblende-biotite schist and

gneiss+garnet, amphibolite bands, quartz-sericite schist/quartz-mica schist and meta

ultramafites, representing upper amphibolite to lower granulite facies metamorphism. These

rocks are found as linear bands in the north. The main member of this group garnet

sillimanite-biotite gneiss+graphite occurs as large bodies north of Kabani river. Peninsular

Gneissic Complex represented by hornblende-biotite gneiss and pink granite gneiss occupies

a major part of the district. Charnockite Group comprises charnockite forming the hilly

terrain in the south and southeast. Pyroxene Granulite and banded Magnetite Quartzite occur

as narrow bands within charnockite. Migmatite Complex is represented by biotite-

hornblende gneiss, occurring over a large area in the south-central part. The other member

of this group, namely garnetiferous quarto-feldspathic gneiss+sillimanite occur are narrow

bands within the older charnockite. In the east, large bodies of intrusive pink granite occur

near Kalpetta and Sultan Battery. Pegmatite veins are also associated with the granites.

Dolerite and gabbro are intrusive into the older rocks. Large lenticular bodies of

gabbro/anorthosites occur northeast of Manantody and a large body of diorite occurs near

the northern boundary of the district The geology of the district given above may be read

II. Brief description of nature of the project

The ‘Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/s. Krishnagiri Stone Crushers', over an extent of

1.400Ha is a granite building stone mining project. The granite building stone is the basic rock in

this area to be excavated by quarrying.

This Granite Building Stone quarry is proposed to be operated by Opencast Semi-Mechanized

Quarrying Method. The mechanized operation of quarry shall use excavators, tippers, rock

breakers, Jack hammer drilling and blasting. The excavated material shall be crushed in the

crushers located outside the quarry lease area.

The maximum production capacity proposed in this area is 50,325 tonnes per annum building

stone of size -150mm.


..6

The quarrying operation shall provide 35 direct & equal number of indirect employment to local

people.

III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.

The basic objective of the project is to have effective utilization of granite stone as a building

material in this region and state. The spur in infrastructure development and construction industry

has enhanced the demand of granite building stone in past few years.

Mainly infrastructure projects – like roads, highways, railways, bridges, buildings, township, Port

Development, etc., have raised the demand of building material. Building stone quarry not only

provides the building material but also employment and economic growth of the region that

ultimately enhance the socio-economic status of the people of the region and the state. The mining

activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local population with direct & indirect

employment opportunities. The project also contributes to the regional and financial benefits in the

form of Royalty, Cess, Taxes, DMF etc.

IV. Demand-Supply Gap.

Granite Building stone is an important component of the construction activities for infrastructure

development. The demand for granite building stone is increasing along with the increase in

infrastructure and construction activities in Kerala. This quarry can produce max 50,325 tonnes of

building stone annually and the demand of building stone by various industries can be partly

fulfilled by this project. During last four years there is a sudden increase in the Real estate & Port

development activities which has further enhanced the demand for building stone, hence, there is

heavy requirement of granite building stone to meet the demand supply chain.

V. Imports Vs Indigenous production

The requirements of granite building stone in infrastructure industry is huge where as the prices of

granite are relatively low. The import or export of the same is not feasible due to heavy

transportation cost. The granite building stone of size -150mm shall be transported / sold to the

crusher outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for

infrastructure development.

VI. Export possibility.

The price of the granite is very low and the transportation cost is very high. Hence there are no

export possibilities of the same.

iv. Assessment of Infrastructure demand (physical & social):

All the manpower for the project shall be employed from the local area. Thus, there shall not be

influx of people into the region; therefore, no increase in the population is envisaged during the

period of the operations.

The operations are also small scale. Hence, infrastructure demand both in the form of physical and

social infrastructure, in terms of physical infrastructure will not be very demanding.

However, the project would raise the economic status of the people in the region thus the social

infrastructure like education, health and hygiene, sports, etc. would be quite demanding. The

company thus commits to support the local community in the field of Health & Hygiene, Basic

education, Education of girl child, Sports, renewable energy etc. thereby strengthening the social

infrastructure of the region.

6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

(i) Industrial Area (Processing Area):

No Crushing or screening or processing is planned within the quarry lease area. The entire product

from the mine will be transported to the Crushing & Screening plant located outside the lease area.

Existing road shall be strengthened & made use for the transportation. As the mining equipment

are all diesel powered there is no need for external power. The infrastructure facilities like Quarry

office, site services, First Aid room, Rest shelter, and other statutory facilities, etc., shall be located

in the close proximity of the quarry lease area.

The man power requirement shall be employed from local area, no additional infrastructure is

required.

(ii) Residential Area (Non Processing Area):

No additional residential area is required as the manpower for this project shall be employed from

the nearby villages.

(iii)Green Belt:

About 800 plants shall be planted in green belt area (0.463Ha) and another 200 sapling shall be

planted all along the haulage road.

(iv) Social Infrastructure:

The project shall generate 35 direct and Equal indirect employment to the local people. Hence, the

activity will contribute to the improvement of income status of the local people. The quarry project

will also improve infrastructure facilities, eventually leading to the overall development of the area,

resulting in the improvement of standard of life of local population.

The Project proponent undertakes to spend Rs 3.00 Lakhs per Annum, to take up CSR works in the

surrounding villages in the sector of Healthcare, Sanitation, Education of Girl child, Sports,
