proposed plan period is by Semi Mechanized method of opencast quarrying.
Considering the technical parameters like surface topography, quality variations, geo-
technical aspects, required rate of production & available resources etc, it is proposed
to work this deposit by adopting 3m bench height and with an ultimate pit slope of
45° by Small scale quarrying activity with small dia jack Hammer drilling & blasting
and use of Hydraulic Rock Breaker. The benches height and the width will be
maintained as specified by DGMS. The width of the working benches, shall not be less
than the height. The Year wise Production & Development plan indicates the
workings, site for disposal of waste/overburden etc., as shown in Plate No-05. The
Plan showing the position of workings, proposed extensions, bench parameters, pit
configuration at the end of Plan Period is indicated in Production & Development plan
as shown in.
Due care will be taken in designing the benches by straightening & advancing the

water shall be properly coursed with series of check dams & retaining walls so as not
to disturb the natural drainage pattern of the area.
Loading and Hauling: Loading of the Building Stone/M-Sand blocks will be done
mechanically to tippers of 10 tons capacity and transported from the quarry to the
Stack yard and mineral rejection/waste will also be handled mechanically. In the
quarry the road will be maintained with 1 in 16 gradients. Sufficient number of bunds
and parapet walls will be made all along the quarry haulage roads wherever necessary
in order to maintain safe working conditions by using the waste generated during the
course of quarry operations.
Solid Waste Management:
Intercalated waste and overburden towards western part of the lease area above the
Building Stone/M-Sand is to be handled during Quarrying operations and the same is
very less as the entire area is almost a rocky terrain. An estimated quantity of around
2,200 tons of waste is required to be handled during the proposed 5 year plan of the
quarry lease period. To accommodate this waste material, non-mineralized/safety
zone boundary of 7.5 mtrs stretch area is earmarked.
The Quarrying pits after extraction of the Building Stone/M-Sand will be reclaimed by
suitable afforestation techniques and portion of the pit may be left as water reservoir
& storage of rain water shall help in recharging the ground water table and improve
the water regime of the area. Proper fencing of the lease area shall be taken up to
avoid entry of animals & trespassing into the lease area and also such that the same
is also useful to the local community.
Hydrology
There is a bore well located about 500mtrs towards the North Eastern side of the
quarry area is used for drinking purpose and it can be stored in to syntax tanks. The
analysis of this bore well water is done and the parameters are within the permissible
limits. The surface water is in the form of seasonal rainfall and the ground water
bodies encountered below 200-210m depth in the area from the surface level. The
area is small; so far no report on hydrological studies has been carried out in the area
under question. There is no potential of acid mine drainage.

Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
State highway passing through major towns and nearby villages. There are no
Sensitive areas for ecological reasons. However, Basavanatar State Forest is situated
towards Western side of the lease area and also there is no inter-state boundary
within 10 kms radius of the quarry site. Necessary precautionary measures in the form
of infrastructure shall be provided during the course of quarry operations. A
parapet/retaining wall as a fence shall be constructed all along the lease boundary to
avoid trespassing of men & animals. A 7.5 mtr strip of green belt shall also be
developed all along the boundary which helps as a dust barrier and also reduces noise
levels in the buffer zone.
5. PLANNING BRIEF
Conceptual Quarry Plan:
The entire strike length of the deposit is exposed & the quarry is envisaged to be
worked forming benches of 3mtrs height and width more than the height of the
bench with a general pit slope of 45° degrees. The ultimate pit limit is marked as
shown on the Geological plan. However, when the Building Stone/M-Sand is
proved to its full depth, the conceptual plan will be duly modified. The possibility of
Building Stone/M-Sand below is to be examined further by exploration.
The Quarrying is proposed to be taken up with the capacity of Development &
production of ROM of about 5,314 tons of Building Stone/M-Sand and Over burden
of about 41,768 tons during the proposed End of Quarry Lease Period. Any
modifications in the quantum of production will be intimated & details will be
furnished to Department of Mines & Geology. The mined out pits after extraction
of the Building Stone/M-Sand will be reclaimed by suitable engineering and
afforestation techniques. The successive advancement of the pit at the end is
depicted in the conceptual plan vide plate No.07. The design & layout of the
quarry benches is shown on the above referred relevant plan. During the
conceptual plan period the anticipated production levels of Building Stone/M-Sand
for the next 5-years period will be 5,207 tons of Building Stone/M-Sand & 107 tons
of Waste. The quantity of waste/Quarrying losses generated is very less & the
same shall be utilized for formation of safety bunds, road leveling work to fill pot
holes etc.,

Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
The working results obtained during the present plan period and the data
generated by working the deposit will be taken into consideration and accordingly
exploration programme if required will be charted out for re-assessment of the
mineral reserves at the end of the fifth year as there is enough reserves till the
end of the fifth year which will be helpful to carry out production during the first
scheme period. The result of the same will also be thus helpful for further
modifications of the Conceptual plan. The guidelines of State Government i.e. DMG
will be followed during the conceptual period in respect of mineral conservation &
Environmental Management Plan.
The quantity of waste/mining losses generated is very less & the same shall be
utilized for formation of safety bunds, road leveling work to fill pot holes etc.,
Population Projection
The man powers of quarry include Quarry manager/Foreman, Mine Mate, Supervisors,
skilled and unskilled Labors and other staff etc. As far the socio-economic is
concerned from the Quarry activity nearby villagers shall get direct 31 & indirect
employment for about 50 persons. The proposed Quarry activities also shall bring the
positive change in the villages as the quarry shall provide socio-economic activities in
the region.

Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
Green belt Development
The afforestation to be taken up provides the requisite floral biodiversity. At the end
of the Plan period non rocky area if any will be afforested and wherever possible and
along roadsides afforestation will be proposed of area is earmarked for afforestation
during the proposed plan period. Details of the afforestation program are given below:
Year Number of Plantations Planned Location Species
First 200
haulage & avenue plantation
Bio-fuel, Neem, Mango, Hongemara, Nerale, Bettada Nellikai, Aralimara, Muthuga, Bevu, Seeme Hunse Mara, Aladamara tall growing trees with guidance from forest nursery,
Second 200
Third 200
Fourth 200
Fifth 200
Total 1000
During the afforestation work, the combination of different species shall be done. This
selection shall be made on the basis of the local plant growth in the surrounding
areas. It is always better to plant mixed species together. Guidance from the local
forest department shall be taken in the selection of species and their maintenance.
The plantation work requires considerable quantities of seeds, seedlings and saplings
of different species; Nursery stock for this plantation will be available from the local
forest and horticulture department.
Assessment of Infrastructure Demand:
The existing road network will be sufficient to meet the proposed production capacity.
However, required infrastructure for transport within the leasehold area will be further
strengthened and improved. No new routes or alternations are required in this
regards.
Amenities/Facilities
Applicant proposes to employ about 20 persons. This employment has a positive
impact on the socio-economic conditions of the surrounding as most of the work force
employed will be from the nearby areas. Local persons will be hired for meeting the
requirement of trucks loading, plantation, construction of check dams, retaining walls
etc.
The benefits due to Quarry to the local population will be in the form of Direct and
indirect employment opportunities.
N.Gopalakrishna(2-24 Acres) - 12 -
Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE
The extent of lease area 1.052 Ha of Govt. Gomala land is recommended for grant
and is under process at the Department of Mines & Geology. The proposed method of
Quarry operation will be semi mechanized method of opencast Quarry with jack
hammer drilling & blasting with tipper/tractors for internal transport. The lease area
does not have any public roads; railways lines, telephone lines, public buildings etc.
Present infrastructure will meet the requirement of the project. The conditions of the
roads in the buffer zone are unlikely to be impacted due to the proposed medium
scale expansion. The project authorities in association with the adjacent quarry
owners & district administration will also contribute to development & maintenance of
roads.
Social Infrastructure
The quarry lease area is easily accessible in all seasonal conditions. The quarry lease
area is about 35 kms from Bangaluru via Mysuru road–Ramohalli Cross-
Doddaladamar-Quarry site/Sulivara. The Quarry location is 15 km from Ramohalli
Cross of which has a motorable road. The nearest railway station is Kengeri about 20
kms situated on Mysuru-Bangaluru-broad-gauge line and the nearest Air Port is
Kempe Gowda international Airport Devanahalli (Bangalore) about 65kms and Harbor
is Mangalore which is about 350kms.
Drinking Water Management
There are no Water courses within or adjacent to the quarry lease and hence there is
no possibility of disturbance & rainwater will continue to flow in the same direction as
it is in existence. Since the water is not withdrawn (from any sources outside the
lease area) for Quarry purposes for quarrying operations no adverse impact is
foreseen on the existing water regime. The rainwater stored in the pits shall be
utilized for mitigating dust and other activities.
The surface water in the buffer zone is in the form of seasonal rainfall and the ground
water bodies encountered below 200-210 m depth in the area from the surface level.
The area is small, so, far no report on hydrological studies has been carried out in the
area under question. There is no potential of acid mine drainage. The drinking water
available for nearby bore wells and water can be stored in to syntax tanks. During the
course of Quarry operation no diversion of water course is considered as it doesn’t
exists.
N.Gopalakrishna(2-24 Acres) - 13 -
Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
Sewerage System
The existing watercourses shall not be disturbed and rain water will continue to flow
in the same direction. Check dams have been constructed in the nallahs of the buffer
zone and retaining walls constructed by the side of the O.B Dumps, water will
percolate in the premises of the quarry area. There is no generation of domestic
sewage.
Industrial Waste management
There is no generation of affluent/toxic substance; hence treatment of quarry water
doesn’t arise.
Solid waste management
There is little top-soil of about 9,384 tons in the Quarry area proposed. As such there
is no generation of waste, whatever little is produced may be of low grade Building
Stone/M-Sand and intercalated waste to the tune of 2%, which is proposed to be
dumped and some portion of material is used to maintain road & bund around the
lease area. No toxic or hazardous elements are reported in the waste & hence, no
effect on the surface/ground water.
Power requirement and Supply
There will not be any requirement of power supply to the project site. The Quarry
activities are envisaged to be carried out only during day time for drilling, loading,
unloading by excavators & with tippers for transport. & and all the equipment shall be
operated with diesel as motive power.
7. RECLAMATION & REHABILITATION
Surface Quarry will make alteration in the topography of the area by way of
excavation and surface dumps. This will lead to water pollution, silting of agricultural
lands; air pollution etc if proper care is not taken. The primary objectives of
reclamation are to restore the affected area to the original state as near as possible.
The various reclamation proposals planned during the plan period as well, rest of the
Quarry period such as broad working benches with safe angle of slope, installation of
effective drainage system, prevention of erosion and excessive run off, & re-
vegetation or afforestation.
As far as Quarry area is concerned, so far none of the proposed Quarry area is
matured or completely exhausted as this is a new lease in the process of grant.
Hence, the measures like Retention walls, drainage system and afforestation works
etc., shall be taken up.

Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
ENVIRONEMNTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
PREAMBLE
The Quarry Lease Area is situated over an extent of 2-24 Acres in Sulivara Village,
Bangalore South Taluk, Bangalore Urban District and Karnataka. The Quarry lease is
Govt Gomala lands.
Climate
The area has a tropical climate. The period during Jul-2015 to Sept-2015 indicate
highest temperature of 33°C during Sept and lowest temperature of 19°C during July
was recorded in this area and the rainfall recorded in this area in 2014 was about
538mm.
Temperature
This is one of the important factors deciding the dispersion of air pollutants due to
factors like lapse rate, inversion etc.
In the area, it is observed from the records that the temperature varies slightly in the
month. The daily maximum & minimum temperatures during the study period (July
2015– September 2015). The maximum and minimum temperatures during the study
period are 33 0C & 19 0C respectively.
Relative Humidity
The presence of water vapor in the atmosphere affects the amount of solar radiation
received and reflected by the earth. Water vapor serves to scatter or absorb radiation
energy, and hence humidity has a major influence on air quality.
Generally the relative humidity observed in the area is moderate. The relative
humidity data during the study period is given in Annexure-1B.
Precipitation
Precipitation serves as a cleansing agent for the atmosphere by removing particulate
matter and soluble gases in a process called “Wash Out”. The rainfall records of the
study zone have been collected during the previous years the rainfall in this area was
about 538 mm (2014).
N.Gopalakrishna(2-24 Acres) - 18 -
Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
Drainage pattern:
a) Likely depth of water table based on observations from nearby wells and water bodies is about 200 - 210m below the general ground level.
b) Working expected to be up to 808.23m RL which is above water table and no water is
expected. c) Quantity and quality of water likely to be encountered, the pumping arrangements and
places where the quarry water is finally proposed to be discharged.
No water is likely to be encountered during the course of quarrying.
Wind Speed & Direction
Wind is one of the most important modes in the distribution, transportation and
dispersion of air contaminants. The velocity of the wind determines the travel time of
particulate to a receptor and the dispersion rate of air contaminants.
Wind speed and direction are recorded by monitoring the area during the study period
and the data tabulated and furnished in 1D.
Quality of air
Quarrying operations of Building Stone/M-Sand does not involve deep hole drilling
and blasting. Use of machinery for excavation & loading of mined minerals, is a major
contributor for affecting the air quality. Loading and transport of minerals generate
some small quantities of dust, which again depend on factors such as the topography,
nature of material handled and climatological parameters like wind speed, wind
direction and stability classification of the area viz. location of buffer zone villages.
The quantum of quarrying operations is very limited (only about ROM 21,991 tonnes
maximum per annum i.e. about 74 tonnes/day) and hence there shall not be regular
fugitive emissions.
However, care will be taken to suppress dust by sprinkling water at all loading places, stack yards etc.
For this purpose, high volume air samplers (HVS) were used for monitoring the air
pollutants. The air is sucked at the rate of 1.1 to 1.4cu.mtrs/min for suspended
particulate matter. The samples of air were drawn at the flowing rate of 1.1 to 1.4
liters per minute for absorbing gaseous pollutants. The SPM is detected by gravimetric
method; the NOx and SO2 are estimated by using a spectrophotometer. It may be
seen from the data that the three parameters of SPM, SOx and NOx are well within
the permissible limits of Industrial/mixed use and rural areas as per CPCB norms.

The maximum value of RSPM in the core zone, 25– 31 µg/m3 is found to be within the
limits (Annexure 2). Fall in the SPM content in the atmosphere is due to the presence
of humidity and also due to the fall in the wind speed. SPM content of the air also
depend on the activities that were going on during the study period. Also, it is noted
to be observed that the various parameters show decreasing tendency from the
quarrying area towards the peripheral regions and become considerably low at the
habitations, thus indicating the dissipation of the constituents with no effect on the
villages/settlements nearby.
Quality of Water
There will not be any change in Quality of water due to Building Stone/M-Sand
quarrying, which is located at higher levels than the ground water table. The surface
rain water flow through the seasonal water course as usual.
a) Surface water: There are a couple of small nallahs existing northern side of
the quarry lease, which are of seasonal nature. Precautions
will have to be taken to avoid the wash- off from the quarry
to nearby nallahs by construction of Check dams & retaining
walls/safety bund.
N.Gopalakrishna(2-24 Acres) - 20 -
Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
b) Ground water: Ground water is unlikely to be encountered during the
proposed period of working this quarry. So any change in
the ground water condition is ruled out.
Noise level
The noise level of the core & buffer zone is expected to be within the permissible
limits. Quarrying activity is likely to increase the noise levels at the loading points and
jack hammer drilling/cutting locations. However since the workers will not be
expected to be exposed to high levels of noise for considerable period of time, no
extra precaution is proposed. The workers shall be provided with ear plugs & nose
masks. The noise levels were found to be 47.3-76.7 dBs (there was no quarrying
operations as it is applied area- Annexure 4).
The noise of excavator, compressors & Jackhammer drilling will be minimized to
permissible limits (85-105 dB) by operating equipment at different place and by
carrying periodical maintenance regularly to the machinery.
Quality of Soil
As the quarrying is confined to the slopes of the hills in the quarry, and the topsoil on
the is less than 1.0-2.0m in thickness that too in small patches, it shall be utilized for
afforestation all along the safety zone after formation of a safety bund. Whatever
available the topsoil seen in the area will be carefully taken out for afforestation
purpose. Soil is one of the most important ecological factors and plants depend for
their nutrients, water supply and anchorage upon the soil. To know the existing
quality of soil, representative soil sample has been collected from the lease area and
from the nearby village, tested for their physical and chemical properties and is given
in Annexure-5.
The physicochemical analysis of the soil indicates that the soil texture is sandy loam.
The pH of the soil sample showed values greater than 7.48 sampling sites indicating
the soil type to be alkaline in nature and the organic solids concentrations is 00.87 %
in Quarry lease area. The NPK values of the agricultural samples showed good
potential towards fertility.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Air Environment:
The sources of air pollution in the region will be due to quarrying and the related
transportation activities. The meteorology of the area becomes an important
parameter in environmental issues in the quarrying settlements. Suitable measures to
protect the inhabitants and environment against the dust and fumes emanating from
vehicular movements are required to be taken.
The dust generated is from the quarry haul roads and drilling/loading sites. It is
proposed to take up mitigative measures in the form of sprinkling water in the
sensitive areas and also create green belt along lease boundary to act as a dust
barrier. The gaseous pollutants namely SOx & NOx are below detection level.
As stated earlier the gaseous pollutants in and around the quarry are well within the
permissible limits There is no likelihood of the concentrations exceeding the standards
as the dust emanating from the drilling shall be controlled by adopting wet drilling.
There is no other factory or beneficiation unit within the lease area. However, air
quality parameters will be monitored as per the requirement.
N.Gopalakrishna(2-24 Acres) - 25 -
Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
Dust Control:
The dust generated from loading and transport operations will be controlled by water
spraying for these purposes water tanker fitted with sprayer will be used at haul road,
etc. Sprinkling water on the roads by tanker will be practiced.
The water tankers to be deployed for dust suppression. The required water will be
drawn from bore well of the applicant or purchased through water tankers. The water
availability is adequate & the applicant will provide structures for ground water
recharging in their field to replenish the aquifer. The number of trips of tankers
supplied to the Quarry measures the quantity of water supplied. The numbers of trips
are recorded in a logbook every day, which will be duly certified by the in-charge so
as to have control on the trips of water utilization.
Further the green belt of 7.5 mtrs proposed all round the Quarry lease boundary will
act as a dust filter and arrest the spread of air borne dust on to the nearby
agricultural lands and villages. The office complex is also suggested to be surrounded
by green belt, to arrest the spread of dust to the other locations.
Noise environment
The haulage vehicles shall be maintained with proper lubrication, fitting of effective
silencers and maintenance to reduce the noise. Workers are provided with earplugs to
avoid the noise from the machineries.
The proposed green belt in 3 rows around the lease area will help in reducing the
noise level.
Water environment:
It is proposed to use water for sprinkling over the roads for suppression of dust
during summer. Analyses of water sample is collected from near by Bore well is well
within the CPCB limits.
The major source of water pollution in open cast quarrying is the surface run-off
carrying the fine silt. The problem is prevalent mostly in rainy season. For this control
measures by way of providing check-dams along the course of nallas outside the lease
area will be initiated and will be strengthened further and the applicant will also take
up erection of retention walls along the safety zone & take up afforestation on the
side of these retention walls to minimize the flow of silt. Drains should be constructed
to channelize the water in loose soil areas to prevent erosion.
N.Gopalakrishna(2-24 Acres) - 26 -
Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
Storm Water Management:
Check dams will be constructed to contain the surface run-off of the silt and
sediments from the lease area during heavy rainy season. Garland drain around the
quarry will be made to divert the water from working areas.
Land Environment
The Dhanbad declaration on Environmental Management in Mining/Quarrying Industry
states “It is imperative that in order to ensure the continued and sustained progress
of the Quarrying industry in India, the environmental dimensions should be integrated
into the planning, design, development, operation and working practices of quarry on
scientific and rational lines, by the Governments and the industry in a mutually
reinforcing manner”. The land related Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has
been presented here under two sections viz., Soil & Water conservation and
Afforestation.
Storage and Reuse of Top Soil:
Topsoil if any removed during clearing of the area for Building Stone/M-Sand
extraction shall be stacked separately to check the erosion of the stacked soil. A
retaining wall shall be constructed all around the dump toe/topsoil stockyard. Planting
of grass and local species etc., are proposed on the surface of this stack to prevent
erosion and to increase the soil nitrogen. As per the analysis of the soil samples they
are found to be basic in nature. During afforestation, it is recommended to plant fast
growing species with good canopy cover and dense leaf density and some ornamental
species to give a good aesthetic look. It is recommended to sow neem, mahogany
plants as soil and climatic conditions are suitable for the growth of these plants.
Land Restoration/Reclamation:
Land restoration or reclamation of the area is very essential in any Quarrying industry.
Proper measures adopted during restoration will control most of the adverse
environmental impacts of Quarry and also improve the aesthetic beauty of the area.
Due to the Quarry activities in this area the profile of the ground will change due to
formation of pits. At the end of the Quarry operations, the top soil/mineral rejects will
be utilized for back filling wherever suitable and rehabilitated. Also, based on the final
configuration of the pits, the Company shall convert part of the lease area into a
reservoir which helps in storage of water & also helps in re-charging of the ground
water table. Necessary precautionary safety measures shall also be taken up by the
applicant during the closure stage to ensure safety & future use for the local
N.Gopalakrishna(2-24 Acres) - 27 -
Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
community. The entire periphery of the pit shall be fenced & suitable sloped so as to
ensure that there is no danger to the local habitat.
Following steps shall be taken for improving and protecting the environment.
a) Quarry lease area
b) Surrounding the Quarry lease area.
c) Surrounding the statutory buildings
d) On the undisturbed virgin lease area.
Surrounding the Mining area
The dust generated during the quarrying operations will be carried by wind and will be
deposited over the trees and on the adjacent area around the quarry in the buffer
zone. To filter this dust, a green belt shall be developed along the quarry lease area
i.e., around ultimate pit limit in the non mineralized area, this green belt will also act
as sound barrier. In between the tree saplings, grass and bushes shall be grown.
Creation of the green belt around the lease areas shall be undertaken on priority basis
and shall be completed concurrent to Quarry over a 5-year period. Avenue Plantation
all along the haul roads shall also be taken up as per the afforestation Plan. About
2,500 saplings will be planted during the Plan period.
Surrounding the statutory buildings
All around the proposed statutory buildings and along the road sides trees shall be
planted in addition to the existing ones which will protect the workers from the noise
and dust. To plant trees around the statutory buildings, the topsoil that is going to be
quarrying from the area shall be laid to form a strip of 10-15m width and 0.5m
thickness.
On the undisturbed virgin lease area:
The undisturbed virgin lease area shall be utilized for afforestation purposes by
developing the area with local varieties. This work shall be done after the cessation of
Quarry operations.
Afforestation Programme:
The afforestation to be taken up provides the requisite floral biodiversity. At the end
of the Plan period non rocky area if any will be afforested and wherever possible and
along roadsides afforestation will be proposed of area is earmarked for afforestation
during the proposed plan period. Details of the afforestation program are given below:

During the afforestation work, the combination of different species shall be done. This
selection shall be made on the basis of the local plant growth in the surrounding
areas. It is always better to plant mixed species together. Guidance from the local
forest department shall be taken in the selection of species and their maintenance.
The plantation work requires considerable quantities of seeds, seedlings and saplings
of different species; Nursery stock for this plantation will be available from the local
forest and horticulture department.
The area, which is afforested, will be protected from animal grazing. For this,
watchmen shall be employed to look after the plants and trees. Due care also shall be
taken to protect the afforested area from pests and fires. Plants and trees will be
provided fertilizers and other manures regularly as per the expert advice.
Provision of Green Belt along the affected area:
It is proposed to develop a green belt along roadside, near proposed office premise of
the portion of the lease around the working spots and the places around the roads in
the lease area and outside. About 2,500 saplings per hectare of area in 2-3 rows with
a spacing of 2.5 m x 2.5 m shall be developed. The saplings shall have deep roots,
fast growth and optimum penetrability. To stand firmly against the wind, species of
plants which form dense vegetation and maximum canopy shall be selected otherwise
the gap in the canopy will act as wind tunnels. Dense vegetation will litter on the floor
and improve the quality of the soil, and also act as dust and sound barriers. It is also
taken into consideration that the different species of plant include flower bearing, fruit
bearing plants and also plants forming food for herbivous animals to attract the wild
life.

Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
Out of the above trees, the Neem stands excellent for dust filtering, based on its
height, quick growth, leaf density and drought tolerance. This will be able to filter the
dust by 80%.
Drainage Control and Hydrologic Balance:
To prevent the precipitated water entering into the working quarries though surface
drainage and runoff water containing some silt, the following measures shall be
adopted.
In respect of hydrological balance, as the mine workings are well above the ground
water table, there will not be any tapping of ground water table during the quarry
operations. The quality of the pumped out water is well within the rechargeable limits
of the ground water table of this area. Further, the proposed afforestation programme
will increase the rate of recharging ground water in this area.
Treatment of Drainage Water:
As indicated in the earlier paras, the precipitated run-off water contains only solid
suspensions, which are non-toxic. These suspended solid matters have to be removed
before the water is allowed to enter into the surface watercourses. The main source
of solid suspended matter is from the working area. To control the solid suspensions
carried along with run off, retaining walls shall be constructed. One Check dam shall
be constructed along the seasonal nallahs as shown on the Environmental Plan to
arrest the silt flowing along with water at downstream sides of the quarry.
Treatment of Drinking Water:
The water sample collected from the nearby bore well used for drinking by the
villagers and employees is analyzed and found to be potable. Hence, no further
treatment of drinking water is required and proposed.
Control on Soil Erosion:
The only source of soil erosion is from top soil safety bund all along the lease
boundary. Since there is no solid waste/overburden for dumping separately, there will
not be any effect and hence chances of soil erosion are negligible.
Control on fall of Fly Rocks and Scree:
As described in the impact assessment chapter no fly rocks are generated. Controlled
blasting technique by use of delay detonators shall be used for minimizing ground
vibrations & noise. Hydraulic rock breakers are proposed to be utilized for reducing
the frequency of blasting. Quarry operation will not generate any scree.
N.Gopalakrishna(2-24 Acres) - 30 -
Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
After practicing control measures like afforestation of worked out area and the dumps,
mechanical erosion control measure such as terracing, construction of retaining wall
etc., there is least possibility of scree in the form of suspended particle in the drained
water to accumulate at down slopes and choking the drainage system. To check the
silt or scree flowing into the natural nallah, one check dams shall be constructed
across the nallah towards down streamside of the Quarry.
Wild Life Protection:
Presently, there are no wild animals spotted in the buffer zone. However, the practice
of afforestation programme and other control measures shall bring greenery to the
area and also the vegetation of mixed species and availability of water will form a
natural habitat for these wild animals and helps in conservation of the flora and fauna
of the area. The applicant shall co-ordinate with the forest department in protection
and taking up mitigative measures required if any in this regard.
Management of Socio Economic Fabric:
As already explained in the earlier paras the quarrying industry will improve the
economic status of the people and area. Continued Quarrying activities, will benefit
the local people due to provision of more infrastructural facilities provided by the
quarrying industry, as quarrying industry boosts up the local market, which will invite
people from different places to install their ancillary units. Thus the population density
may have some effect over traditional life style of the local people, and it may create
scarcity of the essential commodities thus creating rise in prices. Adequate facility for
drinking water, health, education, recreation and employment is provided to the
workers and shall be continued. A sum of Rs. 50,000 shall be utilized per annum for
CSR activities for the surrounding villages.
Disaster Management Plan:
Disaster Management Plan is envisaged with a goal to prevent hazards and accidents
at work places by careful design, operation, maintenance and inspection of the
quarrying machineries & equipments. All the quarry activities will be in accordance
with the Quarrying Plan and directives of Directorate General of Mines Safety. All the
eligible employees will be sent to refresher courses from time to time on safety issues.
The control measures will be adopted to take care of hazards/disasters that may occur
during quarry operation.
N.Gopalakrishna(2-24 Acres) - 31 -
Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
Safety awareness through competitions, posters & organizing safety weeks every year
Fire fighting & first aid provisions will be provided in quarry office & quarry lease area.
All safety appliances to make available to all the staff. Proper maintenance of haulage roads
Manpower and Organization:
The project proponent will set up a permanent cell with the task of effective
implementation of Environmental Management Plan & co-ordinate with the
management & external environmental consultants. Manpower required for regular
supervision of different works connected for the control measures suggested in the
earlier chapters and also monitoring of environmental data on a periodical basis, the
following personnel shall be employed. About 31 people will be benefitted by way of
direct & 50 indirect employment in the quarry activities. All necessary benefits &
facilities in accordance with rules shall be provided.
CONCLUSIONS, SUGGESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
The Quarrying method proposed as per the Quarrying Plan submitted to Dept. of
Mines & Geology is small-scale Semi mechanized Quarrying activities without
deployment of deep hole drilling and use of Heavy machinery. The actual method of
quarrying Building Stone/M-Sand is by small scale jack hammer drilling & blasting.
Based on the appraisal of the existing environmental scenario coupled with the
assessment studies carried out, it is concluded that there is no long term
environmental impact due to the Building Stone/M-Sand quarry at the lease area.
The suspended particulate matter getting airborne from the quarrying activity gets
dispersed in close proximity itself and settles down early. The noise levels due to the
proposed quarry activity are also not of a higher order that calls for immediate
corrective measures. The ground water analysis indicates that the sources do not get
influx of pollutants from the quarry activity. There is positive socio-economic front in
the surrounding region due to the proposed quarrying industry. The practice of
afforestation scheme is a step in the right direction towards achieving ecological
balance.

Pre Feasibility & EMP Report
Suggestions/Recommendations
Even though there is no perceptible impact from the quarry activity on the
environment of the region, it is imperative that mitigative measures have got to be
implemented on full scale for creating environmental balance and intern maintain the
ecology of the region. The following suggestions/recommendations merit due
consideration in this regard
As no control over wind can be exercised, the frequency of the dust
suppression measures like constant watering of the haul roads shall be
practiced.
Afforestation as envisaged in the mining plan is to be carried out so that it
not only enhances the green canopy but also stop the spread of dust
particles and air borne pollutants.
Surface water conservation measures and groundwater recharge be given
high priority.
