DETAILS OF THE MINE

Mine Area

M/s M.S. Enterprises in principle to grant a mining lease for Black Galaxy Granite over an

extent of 4.943 Ha. in Sy .No. 514/2, 514/14 of Illapavullur Village, Chimakurthy Mandal,

Prakasam District, Andhra Pradesh. The applied area is at a distance of 2.42 kms distance

from Sivarampuram Village and 9.26 kms distance from Chimakurthy Mandal.

GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION:

TOPOGRAPHY:

The quarry lease applied area is a hill raised by 90 M above ground level ground level within

the quarry lease applied area with topo relief in NE direction. The lowest contour is 115 M

and highest contour is 205 M.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY:

The Cheemakurthy Igneous Complex is an oval shaped igneous body, comparable to

Bushveld Igneous Complex of South Africa and Skeeargard Intrusive of Greenland. Similar

to these occurrences, the Cheemakurthy Igneous Complex is considered as “Massive

Concentric Type” intrusive magmatic body. As the source of magma is deeper levels, the

depth continuity of the bronzite gabbro may be few kilometers below the surface.

GEOLOGY OF THE AREA:

The Migmatites and Migmatised Charnockite deposits are commercially known as “Galaxy”.

The Migmatite essentially consists of Blue Quartz and Bluish Grey to Light Grey Feldspar

with accessory minerals like Hypersthene, Hornblends and Biotite. The rock displays Wavy

Banding.Ptygmatic folding of Bands, Paleosom- Mesosom- Leucosom and Minimal

Lineation. A number of parallel slips trending N-S, NW-SSE and NNE-SSW cut across the

Wavy Banding, Pinching and Displacing the Bandings, which imparts additional beauty to

the stone besides its Dark Colour. The arressyed enclaves of CHarnockite ( Locally known as

Oil Patches) and healed hairline fractures ( Known as White and Coloured Lines) cutting

across the wavy banding are considered defects.

Three sets of major joints:

1. N – S

2. N 35°W – S35°E

3. E - W

ESTIMATION OF RESERVES:

As the area is virgin and no exploration is carried out in the area as the lease is to be granted.

Hence, the database of the existing mining pits around extrapolated to the subject area to

arrive the profile of the deposit.

The deposit exposed on surface, hence cross sectional method adopted for estimation of

Geological Reserves.5 Sections A-A1 to E-E1 were drawn at equal distance perpendicular to

the strike direction of the dyke to estimate the reserves.

The cross sections were drawn parallel to the strike direction, the cross sectional area of the

individual sections are calculated to arrive at sectional area, the area thus arrived is multiplied

by the sectional influence of 56 M (average) to arrive the volume of rock mass. Since the

recovery of the marketable blocks and tiles in the nearby mines is low, a conservative

recovery of 20% rough blocks is considered.

The Environmental Management Plan envisage for this Mining Project is described here

under with a strong commitment to follow the best Environmental Practices to reduce the

negative implication to make this Project a sustainable development endeavor.

The management action plan aims at controlling pollution at the source level to the possible

extent with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures before

they are discharge.

Air Environment and control measures:

The proposed mining activity would result in the increase of suspended particulate matter due

to fugitive dust resulting from mining operations and transportation activities. This water will

also aid in cooling the drill bits which will be recirculated.

Dust emissions and particulate emissions mitigation measures will be through water spraying

at all the sources of dust formation and these measures are further elaborated as follows:

Regular water sprinkling at dust emanating sources viz., drilling, storage dumps and

transportation through haulage roads, etc will be carried out.

Regular grading of haul roads and service roads will be taken up to clear

accumulation of loose material.

Periodic maintenance of transport vehicles and equipment will be carried out to check

emission levels.

Greenbelt will be developed with avenue plantation all along the haulage roads and

peripheral plantation all around the mine in order to control dust.

Overloading of trucks will be avoided and carrying the ore/mineral in covered trucks

will be taken-up to minimize pollution levels.

Water will be sprayed on haul roads for minimization of re-suspension of dust due to

transportation.

Water Pollution Management:

However, during rains the water flows through the slopes of the M.L. area and across the

mine lease boundary and joins a natural drainage.

The rainwater that collects in the mine pit bottom during the rainy season will be utilized for

water spraying on the haul roads and mining area. This water will also be used for the

plantation in and around the Mine Lease area.

The following that flows in the core zone will be routed adequately through channels

to avoid any erosion and contamination.

The mine pit water collected due to rains will be utilized for water spraying on the

haul roads and for watering plantation.

The wastewater generated from the domestic usage will be fed to septic tank followed by

soak pit.

Garland drain and retention wall will be provided.

Noise Environment:

There will be intermittent noise levels while usage of jack hammers. The noise levels are

expected to be below 75dB. This will however be for very short duration. No mining

activities are planned during night time. A thick green belt will be developed to act as noise

attenuator. The management plan for controlling noise pollution is envisaged as follows.

The noise generated is very much minimum as the Black Galaxy Granite is majority of

manual and minimum Vehicular Traffic.

The machinery will be maintained properly to reduce the noise levels.

The protective noise reducing gear like earmuffs, earplugs will be provided by the

company.

Proper maintenance of equipment.

Machinery will be fitted with properly designed noise generating acoustic silencers.

Proper maintenance and periodic lubrication of noise generating parts of the

machines.

Provision of thick plantation in and around the mine is planned in order to reduce the

noise and prevent it from reaching to surrounding habitation areas.

GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

The development of greenbelt in the peripheral buffer zone of the mine lease area will be

undertaken well before the starting of the mining activity.

Green Belt has been recommended as one of the major component of Environmental

Management Plan, which will improve ecology, environment and quality of the surrounding

area.

Plantation will be done along the haulage roads and the unused area in the M.L. area will be

developed with green cover. Suitable advice on this plantation activity will be consulted with

the local Forest Department along with measures to ensure good survival rate.

Concepts of Green Belt Development

The concepts of Green Belt Plantation scheme are

1. Nature of Pollutants

2. Emission Levels

3. Maximum Impact zone

CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF SPECIES

Species to be selected should fulfill the following specific requirements of the area

- Availability of seed material

- Tolerance to specific conditions or alternatively wide adapts ability to eco-

physiological conditions.

- Rapid growth

- Capacity to endure water stress and climatic extremes after initial establishment

- Differences in height, growth habits

- Pleasing appearance

- Providing shade

- Ability of fixing atmospheric Nitrogen

- Improving waste lands.

DESIGN OF GREEN DEVELOPMENT

The greenbelt shall be developed around the plant to act as a sink for pollutants, attenuation

of noise levels and improvement in aesthetic quality of the plant. The following criteria shall

be adopted in the design of greenbelt:

1. Generally fast growing trees should be planted as otherwise it will take many years

for other types of trees to attain their full height.

2. Trees will be planted along the road side in such a way that there is no direct line of

sight when viewed from appoint outside the foliage perimeter.

3. Trees growing up to 10 m or more in height with thick perennial foliage should be

planted around the plant.

4. Sensitive species such as magnifier indica should be planted in patches along the

entire greenbelt to work as an indicator of pollution.

5. Trees shall be planted staggeredly in each row (minimum three rows encircling the

perimeter of the plant).
