2.2 Brief Information about the Project The mining lease area of 2.00 Hectares opencast manual mining is followed and it has been proposed to produce approximately 1066 Cu. m/ Annum of Black Granite. The nearest habitation Karnapapayapalli Village is located at a distance of 1.76 km due NE from lease area.

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 Black Granite for domestic market. As per EIA notification 2006 the project falls under Category- B, the proponent is submitting the proposal to get Clearance for production capacity of 1066 Cu. m/ Annum of granite blocks from SEAC, SEIAA, Andhra Pradesh for the purpose of grant of quarry lease. The demand and supply for the Black granite is growing which makes a lot of scope for revenue generation. The granite is further processed and supplied to industries after quarrying. India is amongst the leading exporter countries of stones in the world. The major importers of Indian stones are USA, China, UK, Italy, Belgium, Germany, UAE, Hong Kong, Spain, Taiwan, Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, France, Russia and CIS countries. The growth is continuing and the demand for marble, granite, sandstone and other dimensional stones and stone products is anticipated to grow at around 15% CAGR. 2.4 Employment Generation Open cast manual mining semi mechanized is going to be used except for transport. About total 23 workers are going to be engaged for at least 300 days in a year for loading black granite in to trucks / tractors/ tippers. It will provide indirect employment to several workers in the area. The occupation of the local inhabitants in surrounding villages of the mine area is Agriculture. The mining activity in this belt will benefit the locals both directly and indirectly. The directly beneficiaries will be those who get employed in the mines as skilled and unskilled workers. The indirect beneficiaries will be those who open small business to sell goods required by the residents whose “per capita” income will be enhanced by the mining activity, and thereby their purchasing power will be increased. In the long run a lot of social goods are expected in the comparatively backward area when the inhabitants will be able to send their children to school.

3.5 Project Description with process details 3.5.1 Method of Mining 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 0.2 m was adopted along a straight line and charged with low explosives to avoid feather cracks. The separation of blocks from the mother rock will be carried out by drilling and blasting, excavation will be done by the machinery. In the buffer zone of 7.5 m. Northwest to Southeast portion of the QL area is selected for dump yard for next five years and the waste will be stocked over a length of 90 m with a width of 30 m to a height of 13 m in the dump yard as earmarked in plate No.4. 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 these dumps to stabilize them. 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. 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 blocks 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. 3.5.2 Mining program for next five years The scheme of development and production for the next five years has been planned taking into consideration the nature of the despite within the lease area. It is observed from existing working pit that the sheet rock is exposed on Eastern side of the working pit without any overburden and therefore the development of the quarry is confined towards Eastern side of existing working pit. The proposed year wise working area is demarcated on plan and section and it is enclosed as PLAT No. 4.

3.7 Resource Optimization/ Recycling and Reuse Not envisaged. 3.8 Availability of Water Its Source, Energy/ Power Requirement and Source


10

3.8.1 Water Requirement Water is required only for drinking purposes and dust suppression. The number of working people is around 23. So the total water requirement will be around 7 KLD. Source of water is tankers and bore wells. 3.8.2 Power

Estimated Power: 120KVA Source: D.G. set of 120KVA Fuel consumption: 250LPD

3.9 Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their

management/ disposal

3.9.1 Solid Waste Generation& its Disposal In this type of extraction the recovery factor is as medium as 12 % so only 88% comes out as waste. This waste shall be stacked in the dump yard to reuse for reclamation purpose. Dumpling of waste will be dumped on the area earmarked as shown in plat No. 4. Waste will be shocked over a length of 90 m, width 30 m to a height of 13 m, in the South side of the area. During the next five years about 39070 Cu. m of waste material will be generated.

3.9.2 Liquid Effluent No liquid effluent will be generated at the mine site. 4. SITE ANALYSIS 4.1. Nearest Railway Station Kondapuram Railway Station is about 27.49 km due NE.

4.2 Nearest Airport Sri Satyasai (Puttaparti) Airport is about 54.50 km due SE from lease area 4.3 Nearest Seaport Chennai Sea Port is about 288.30 km due SE from lease area.

4.4 Landform, Land Use and Land ownership The mining lease is located in Government land. The working project portion is devoid of any vegetation. 5. PLANNING BRIEF 5.1 Planning Concept It is proposed to produce total of 1066 Cu.m per Annum of Black Granite from the proposed mining lease.

5.2 Population projection The project will employ mostly workers from nearby villages. About 23 persons will be employed as workers for this proposed mine. There will not be any increase in population due to the project. 5.3 Land use planning The project is located in 2.00 Hectares of Government land. There will be change in land use as the


11

black granite mine will be excavated. An extent of about 4000 Sq. m area will be sliced down during next five years to a depth of 12 m. 5.4 Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (Physical & Social) On the basis of the preliminary site visit, the infrastructure demand in the villages was assessed on the basis of need and priority. The assessment will be made in the socio economic survey and will be submitted at the time of final presentation regarding EC. 5.5 Amenities/Facilities First aid box and drinking water facility will be available at the site. Rest shelter will be provided at the site. It is proposed to provide the site services like Mines office and other statutory constructions like rest shelter, first aid, work shed and drinking water as required near the quarry lease. Drinking water will be supplied to the workers from the bore well opened in the adjacent quarry site & agricultural fields. 6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE 6.1 Residential Area (Non Processing Area) As the local persons will be given employment, no residential area/ housing is proposed within the mining lease area. 6.2 Water Management The total water requirement is 7 KLD. There are no chances for changes in quality of surface water or ground water the quarry operations will be carried out on slopes of the rocky terrain. Hence neither the ground water table nor the general surface drainage pattern is affected. No water will be discharged from the quarry.

Following measures shall be taken:

Garland drain with sedimentation pit will be constructed all along the working pit and dump to arrest the silt.

It shall be ensured that silt discharged from the mine area will be minimized to the utmost extent.

Pumps of adequate capacity shall be installed to lift the accumulated rain water. It shall be ensured that good quality potable water is provided for drinking purposes. Good

sanitation facilities (toilets with septic tank followed by soak pits) shall be provided and maintained for good hygienic conditions.

The spillages form fuelling of machinery shall be avoided and in case of any spillage the same shall be handled properly. Likewise the spent lubricating oils etc., shall be safely collected and properly disposed off.

6.3 Sewerage System Disposal in to soak pit outside the river bank 6.4 Industrial Waste Management Not applicable. 6.5 Solid Waste management


12

The most significant waste generating activities will occur during the operation phase, which requires the movement of large quantities of overburden, weathered and fractured rocks and other waste material.

During mining in next 5 years waste will be generated and dumped at the dumping yard. This waste shall be stacked in the dump yard to reuse for reclamation purpose. Dumpling of waste will be dumped on the area earmarked as shown in plat No. 4. Waste will be shocked over a length of 90 m, width 30 m to a height of 13 m, in the Northwest to Southeast side of the area. During the next five years about 39070 Cu. m of waste material will be generated. A retaining wall will be constructed around the dump for preventing the slanting of boulders.

Management of waste material shall include the following:

Soil can be utilized for reclamation of degraded area. Weathered rock if it is sufficiently soft and devoid of rock fragments can be utilized for roads,

filling of road side ditches, formation of approach roads to quarries, construction works etc. Large and medium sized waste rock can be used as revetment for deep cut stream sections

from preventing from soil erosion. The waste generated during the mining will also be used for back filling of the mine pit after completion of mining. 6.6 Socio-economic Environment The occupation of the local inhabitants in surrounding villages of the mine area is Agriculture. The mining activity in this belt will benefit the locals both directly and indirectly. The directly beneficiaries will be those who get employed in the mines as skilled and unskilled workers. The indirect beneficiaries will be those who open small business to sell goods required by the residents whose “per capita” income will be enhanced by the mining activity, and thereby their purchasing power will be increased. In the long run a lot of social goods are expected in the comparatively backward area when the inhabitants will be able to send their children to school. 6.7 Occupational Safety & Health Management

Periodical Medical Examination (PME) of all workers before recruitment and during mining operations.

Total workers in the mine – 23 Mine operators were provided with personal protective equipments (PPEs) include safety

helmets and footwear, in addition to ear, eye, and hand protection devices. Dust masks were provided for workers. Potable drinking water & shelter for mine workers will be provided.

6.8 Monitoring during Project Phase (active mining) Pollution monitoring program includes periodic analysis of air, noise levels and groundwater samples. Groundwater samples at representative locations within and nearby the lease area shall be periodically analyzed to detect contamination if any. In the event of any contamination, concerned authorities shall be notified immediately and appropriate corrective measures shall also be initiated. The monitoring shall also help in knowing the effectiveness of abatement measures and also be a guide for further steps to be taken, if required.


13

6.8.1 Monitoring Strategy The monitoring of various environmental parameters is necessary and is a part of environmental protection measures. Monitoring is as important as that of control of pollution since the efficiency of control measures can only be determined by monitoring. A well-defined environmental monitoring program would be employed with trained and qualified staff to monitor the ambient air quality to check whether the quality of emissions/effluents is maintained within the permissible limits. Environmental attributes should be monitored as given below:

Ambient Air quality Water quality Noise levels Soil characteristics

Locations and frequency of monitoring should be as per the guidelines of APPCB.

6.8.2 Ambient Air Monitoring As per MoEF there is a need to identify 3 ambient air stations at 120o angle keeping the main source in the center. The ground level concentrations of suspended particulate matter, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the ambient air within the project boundaries will be monitored at regular intervals. 6.8.3 Noise Monitoring Noise levels in the workspace environment will be monitored periodically. If any deviation is observed necessary corrective measures will be taken. Monitoring noise levels is essential to assess the efficacy of maintenance of schedules undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise protection measures. A good quality sound pressure level meter is essential for this purpose. This work can be handled by plant authorities themselves or by hiring services of an external agency. Noise surveillance is for the benefit of the workers wellbeing and to keep track of machinery wear and tear.

6.8.4 Water Quality Monitoring Groundwater near the project site will be routinely tested for its quality. No contamination of groundwater is expected. Groundwater is recommended to be monitored in at least other wells/ bores in the area adjacent to the QL area in the direction of ground water flow to keep surveillance on the groundwater quality.

6.8.5 Use of Explosives Blasting activities that may result in safety impacts are typically related to accidental explosion and poor coordination and communication of blasting activities. The proponent will be using low explosives and silent non explosive demolishing agents will be used to minimize the effects of vibration. Control measures to be taken during blasting are:

Specific warning devices (e.g. horn signals, flashing lights) and procedures should be implemented before each blasting activity to alert all workers and third parties in the surrounding areas (e.g. the resident population). Warning procedures may be needed to include traffic limitation along local roadways.

Actively managing blasting activities in terms of loading, priming, and firing explosives, drilling near explosives, misfired shots and disposal.

Adoption of consistent blasting schedules, minimizing blast- time changes.


14

Rules and regulations laid down for safe storage and handling of the explosives as per the explosives Act will be strictly maintained.

Specific personnel training on explosives handling and safety management should be conducted.

Blasting sites should be checked post-blast by qualified personnel for malfunctions and unexploded blasting agents, prior to resumption of work.

6.8.6 Machine and Equipment Safety To prevent and control hazards related to machine and equipment use, measures for the enhancement of visibility should be applied throughout the mine. Specific visibility management practices may include the following:

Use of reflective markings on structures, traffic junctions, and other areas with a potential for accidents.

Use of contrast coloring on equipment / machinery, including the provision of reflective markings to enhance visibility.

Use of moving equipment / machinery equipped with improved operator sight lines. Installing safety barriers in high-risk locations of internal roads / transport corridors. Barriers

may be constructed with refuse or other materials capable to stopping vehicles 7. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN An extent of about 2400 Sq. m area will be sliced down during next five years to a depth of 10 m. The proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining activity will be done at the end of mining lease. No reclamation is proposed in the first five years period because, the mining will be continued to further depths and reclamation will be possible only after completion of mining up to the proposed depths. Reclamation and rehabilitation of the lands affected by mining will be done by back filling, soil amelioration and afforestation. This will be taken up on need basis before the conclusion of mining operations. The back filling of the mine starts from the western end proceeds towards eastern side. Drainage will be developed along the slopes of the hill. Reclamation of the affected land includes back filling, drainage development, spreading and fertilization of soil, leveling and re-vegetation etc. Care will be taken to implement the said factors.
