2.(ii) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT

Mr. Saidalavi.K proposes a building stone quarry for dealing in mining and

trading of mineral. The main objective of the project is to carry the business of

operating and working on quarries. The main market for mineral is in

Malappuram District and other nearby districts in Kerala which are utilized it in

construction works of buildings and roads.

2.(iii) NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY

AND OR REGION

The major need of Granite building stone is due to its high compressive strength

and durability (among the hardest, dimensional & structural stones), it can

effectively withstand the vagaries of nature. The high hardness & density, makes

it useful for many applications. The proposed mining project will fulfill its end

uses in buildings and construction of roads, paving and many other exterior

projects. It is also known as the maintenance-free stone.

The main market for mineral is in Malappuram & other nearby districts

which are utilized in construction works of buildings and roads.

The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas bring about

gains in gross domestic product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the

proposed project but will add to gains in G.D.P. (Gross Domestic Product). A

total of 12 Persons will be employed in the mine. It will create employment

(though marginally) for local population. Applicant will pay royalty to Govt. of

Kerala for the mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect taxes will be

paid thereby contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue will further

be put for infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education and

social welfare.

2. (IV) DEMAND – SUPPLY GAP

Masonry / Building Stone are an important component for the construction /

developmental work for all infrastructure development and building construction

and road construction activities. Demand of building stone shall be fulfilled by

various end users. During last few years, due to sudden increase in real estate

activities and in other infrastructural development activities, the demand of the

building stone has further enhanced the demand of building stone in the area.

Therefore, there is a large requirement of building stone in the project vicinity to

meet the demand supply chain.

2.(v) IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

Building stone product is an indigenous production. Therefore, this product is

neither exported nor imported.

2.(vi) EXPORT POSSIBILITY

The building stone is an indigenous product and hence there are no

possibilities of export.

2.(vii) DOMESTIC / EXPORT MARKETS

The rock produced from the quarry will be sent to the Crusher unit available

near the complex. The aggregate produced will be sold to the contractors and to

the consumers which are finally consumed locally for road (PWD & Panchayat

roads, State Highway & National Highway) & building construction works.

Fine Material will be sold to the hollow block / solid block manufactures.

2. (Viii) EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE

PROJECT

The total numbers of employees including skilled, semi skilled and un-

skilled workers for the quarry project is expected to be about 12 Persons in

which includes workers for mine. The details of the employees / workers

including their position in the organization are also given below:-

MINERAL TRANSPORTATION

Loading of mineral from the quarry will be done by excavator and will be sent

to the crushing unit near the complex. Trucks / Tippers of 15 MT will be used

for transportation of mineral from mine site to the crusher. It is expected that 5

trips will be required on daily basis. For this, movement of truck per hour will

be one only. Thus, the impact due to movement of trucks from mine will be

marginal and well within the carrying capacity of the roads.

3.(VII) RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION / RECYCLING AND REUSE ENVISAGED

IN THE PROJECT

Mineral will be utilized and sent for use to different end users for road and

building construction works. A total quantity of 12,360 cu. m. of topsoil is

proposed to be removed during the mining operations. The topsoil excavated

from the quarry will be dumped / stacked separately at pre-determined place and

subsequently will be utilized in spreading over reclaimed areas for plantation as

part of eco-restoration.

About 22,000 cu. m.. of overburden (OB) will be generated throughout the mine

life. This waste will be utilized within the pit for lying of haul roads. At the end

use, OB can be reutilized as soil base for plantation.

3.(viii) AVAILABILITY OF WATER ITS SOURCE, ENERGY / POWER

REQUIREMENTAND SOURCEWATER The total water requirement for the proposed mining activity is 5 KLD. The

detailed breakup of the same is given below:-

S. No. Particulars Quantity (KLD) Source 1. Domestic purpose (mine and ancillary) 1 Bore well

2. Dust Suppression / Water sprinkling at mine 2

Storm water pond

3. Green belt / Plantation 2

Total 5

The water required will be sourced from the storm water reservoir. However,

the drinking water will be sourced from the open well and which will be

treated / disinfected before consumption. It is proposed to collect the storm

water into the Holding/ Siltation Tank by constructing appropriate channels all

around the foot of hill (garland drains). The channels will be constructed with

intermediate check dams/silt traps to prevent soil erosion. The sizing of the

channels will be 1m x 1m.

POWER

The total power requirement will be 75 kW for compressors which will be

operated by Diesel Engine. The source of electricity for domestic consumption

within the quarry site is from the supply of Kerala State Electricity Board

(KSEB).

3.(ix) QUANTITY OF WASTES TO BE GENERATED (LIQUID AND SOLID) AND SCHEME

FOR THEIR MANAGEMENT / DISPOSAL.

SOLID WASTE: It is estimated that around 31,425 cu. m. of top soil and

22,000 cu. m. of over burden (OB) will be generated from the proposed

mining operation and which will be properly stacked.

LIQUID WASTE: Domestic Sewage: The sewage to a tune of 0.80 KLD generated from the mine

office.

5.0 PLANNING BREIF 5. (i) PLANNING CONCEPT

The mining will be done by open cast semi-mechanized method of mining.

The bench height and width will be maintained 5 mtr. Excavated material is

transported to the crusher unit available near the complex for further

processing. The proposed mine will have capacity to produce 40,000 MTA of

building stone. It will be used for construction of buildings & roads. Mineral

will be transported by trucks / tippers to the end users. The production and

development plan of the project is attached as Plate 7

5.(ii) POPULATION PROJECTION

About 12 Persons of employees proposed for the quarrying operation. Most

of the person will be sourced from neighboring villages. Thus there will be

no increase in population due to the project.

5. (III) ASSESSMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEMAND (PHYSICAL AND

SOCIAL)

The mine site has its own approach road and well connected to the nearest

public road / highway, which will help in commutation of workers and

transportation of minerals. As such there is no major infrastructure facilities

planned in this project and does not call for importance. The main mining

site and secondary access road will be kept in a sufficient condition to allow

access.

On the basis of the site visit, the infrastructure demand in the nearby villages

will be assessed on the basis of need and priority. Job opportunities are

limited and newer avenues of skill development for income generation are

required.

6.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

6.(i) INDUSTRIAL AREA (PROCESSING AREA)

The project site area is not located in an industrial area. The project is a mining

project and is site specific.

6.(ii) RESIDENTIAL AREA (NON PROCESSING AREA)

As the local person will be given priority in employment, no permanent

residential area / housing is proposed only labour sheds are provided within the

complex.

6.(iii) GREEN BELT

The year wise programme of eco-restoration for the life of mine will be made

and about 150 trees will be planted in an area of 1.3423 ha.

6.(iv) SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE The Social Infrastructure facility available around the site is provided at Table

above

6.(v) CONNECTIVITY (TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ROAD / RAIL /

METRO /WATER WAYS ETC.)

The site is very well connected by road network to the mine, district headquarter

and to the nearest towns. The area is self sufficient to cater the needs of the

project.

6.(vi) DRINKING WATER MANAGEMENT (SOURCE AND SUPPLY OF

WATER)

The water required for the project will be sourced from the storm water

reservoir and from well. The drinking water to a tune of 1 KLD will be sourced

from the bore well which will be treated / disinfected before consumption.

6.(vii) SEWERAGE SYSTEM

The sewage to a tune of 0.80 KL will be generated daily from the mine office will

be diverted to the septic tank followed by soak pit.

6.(viii) INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT There will be no industrial waste generation due to proposed project

.
