granite which is locally named with branded rock of "Classical Grey Granite" of
Anantapuram. Either side of the area intruded in to the Granite Gneisses, it
indicating it will be youngest suits of Granitic rocks. The peninsular gneissic
complex comprises gneisses (migmatite), gray granite, and Pink Granite and
Gneissic granite. The gneiss in general show banding due to alteration of light
colored quartzo- feldspathic minerals and dark colored biotite or hornblende
minerals. These rocks may be separated in to two distinct groups namely the
massive foliated types occur as low dome shaped hillocks. The intrusive
relationship of the granite rock is evident by the presence of tongues and
apophyges within the older rocks and the occurrence of xenoliths of the older
rocks within the granite.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF LITHO UNITS:
Light Multi Color Granite Consists of Quartz, Orthoclase Feldspar and
Biotite Mica, low quantities of Olivine with Iron Oxide minerals. The Rock
belongs to Archean age. The gneiss in general show banding due alteration of
light colored quartzo-feldspathic minerals and dark colored biotite hornblende
minerals. Due to crisscross jointing and quartz veins are less and it is useful
for dimensional stones.
Grey & pink Granite gneisses: These forms low to high elongated hill
ranges ridges and also occupy the low lying plain and the dolerite dyke are
intruded. The gneisses in general show banding due alteration of light colored
quartzo- feldspthic minerals and dark colored biotite and hornblende minerals.
Due to crisscross jointing and quartz veins are less and it is useful for
) dimensional stones and decorative stones.
The Q.L. applied area may yield a good deposit of "Classical Grey
J Granite" of .Anantapuram, which shows uniform in grain size less mafic and
widely spaced joi" Geological plan of applied area is given as Plate-III.

3.0 MINING
(a) Open Cast Mining
There are no public buildings, places of importance and historical monuments. However, the applicant will conduct the quarry operations duly adopting the restrictions regarding the safety measures as per the regulations 109 & 127 of Metalliferrous Mines Regulations ' 1961' and Rules & regulations of APPCB and MOEF.
(i) Method of Mining (Open Cast other than fully Mechanized I Semi Mechanized)
The Granite in the quarry lease area is exposed on the surface. Hence, it is proposed to mine the Colour Granite by open cast, semimechanized methods, by developing the benches of 6 M height with 1.5 M bench width & with shallow drilling and blasting . The development of benches will be maintained @ 60° safety slopes. Therefore, mining operations are to be carried out in th is area in 2 stages. 1) Development 2) Production Stage- 1 The removal of big size and under sized boulders wi ll be cleared in the quarry lease area for the fi rst five years by using excavator.
The Hard Rock exposed will be subjected to drilling, blasting and splitting from mother rock.
Stage- 2 After removal of weathered and Semi Weathered Rock under sized boulders. The quarrying 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

studies. Primary block will be cut ·i~ht~econdary blocks by Jackhammer drilling and
wedge cutting and this block will be dislodged from in-situ position by an
excavator.
ii) Line drilling method will be used for cutting the primary blocks which
involve drilling and blasting.
iii) The holes are charged with low explosive cartridge like gun powder and
non-delay detonators for smooth blasting.
iv) The use of delay detonates causes fragmentation and cracks in rocks. The
non detonating cords are inserted into the holes and the holes are stemmed
with muck and plugged at the mouth and fired.
v) Thus the block will separate from the mother rock, which is pulled off from
the face with cranes or shovel.
Drilling Drill holes of 1.5 - 6.0 M depth will be drilled in a staggered pattern at 3 m interval: i) Drill hole Diameter 32 mm up to 1.5-6.0 M long
ii) Depth and Inclination of drill hole Generally drilled vertically in an alignment, drilled.
iii) Explosive Type Delayed detonators with cartridges
(ii) Production Proposed for the first five years In the present area there is no cluster of quarries of different sizes. As recent
rules and regulations of DMG & APPCB & APPMC, all Quarries should follow
Mining Plan , EC, CFE & CFO, also be noted that DMG issuing the permission
based up on above all required Papers.
It is proposed to produce 25991m3 of Granite during first five years plan
period with an average annual production of 5198 m 3 from an area of
9333m2. Benches of 6 m height each and 1.5m width will be developed
during the plan period in depth of previous year workings successively.
The 7S% Waste is generating in general in Granite quarry @ 77973m3.

Handling of blocks within .t h«:!-C.iiarry Blocks are separated from mother rock by excavator and the slope of the ramp is gentle. Transportation of Blocks from quarry to yard and to Destination The rough blocks in the mine area will be handled by using excavator and transported to destinations by trucks. MINE DRAINAGE
The general direction of ground water flow is towards NE. The areas of
Venkatapuram form a part of the Chitravathi River Basin. The height of quarry
ranges from 608 - 632 m above MSL.
Ground water table is 90 m bgl in the surrounding areas. The mine lease is on
little elevated area max. mining depth is 35 m I. Hence ground water table will
not have any impact due to the mining operations.
WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN (SOLID & LIQUID)
Solid waste for the first five years
75% Solid waste of rocks 77973m 3 is generated in th is Granite quarry.
5.2 Dumping Site Particulars
75% Solid waste of rocks is generated can be used for the development of
internal roads and dumped in Dump Yard in NW side of QL applied area, So that
dumping site is proposed in NW side of thr quarry applied area.
5 .4 Liquid Waste
Mine Drainage :
The drainage system of mine in t his area consists of surface run off generated
from rain fall and seepage.
The water that will generated in t he m ine pits will be pumped out for the
benefit for ag riculture fields ex isting around .
a) Run off f rom waste dumps and measures proposed to arrest run off:
Rainfall over the quarry lease applied area affected different by waste dumps,
mine pits roads etc. The ra in cuts the dumps to small rallies and there by a lot of
runoff is generated will cumulate in the pits . Some cases The following measure
proposed to arrest surface run off.
• Garland drains around pit and waste dump

There is no aesthetic errv'iro.rl'rnEmt' prevailing in and around the quarry lease
area.
Soil and Land Use Pattern
The Q.L area does not have any top soil cover. However some top soil will be
available between the slabs.
(b) Air Quality in Environment
The area is surrounded by Agricultural lands and there are no industries nearby. Hence natural air is available in this area. There are chances for air pollution at the time of Jackhammer drilling and at the time transportation of Mineral and waste. But this air pollution will be controlled to the ambient air
(RPM) = 150ug/ m3, CO= 5mg/ m3 by keeping dust collector at the jackhammer
drilling site. The mine roads will be sprayed with water, before starting the transportation of Mineral and Wastes to minimize air pollution. (c) Water Quality
There are no chances for changes in quality of surface water or ground water the quarry operations will be carried out on slope of the rocky terrain. No water course is passing through the area excepting run off streams during monsoon.
The quarrying of Granite has no adverse effect is anticipated on the water regime in the area.
IS 10 500- 1944
S.No. Characteristic Desirable Maximum Permissible
{e) Vibration Levels The vibrations may not be caused due to shot hole drilling and since the
operations are only for short duration. The impact of vibration will be
negligible.( Vibration tolerance limit prescribed in DGMS circulars is 6922-
1973).Where maximum allowable limit of 70mm/sec. For soil and weathered
rock 100mm/sec. For hard rock as the peak particle velocity for safety and
design of the strata's.
{f) Water Regime
Mining Operations will be carried out on the slope of the Rocky terrain.
Hence neither ground water table nor the general surface drainage pattern is
affected.
{g) Acid Mine Drainage
Not Applicable
{h) Surface subsidence
Not Applicable
{i) Socio Economic Environment
The local inhabitants of the villages 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 t he mines as skilled and un-skilled workers. The indirect beneficiaries wil l be

Positive effects: - ~::--:.S;.::_~~~ . ...---1. The locals get the employment. Some persons are found to be buying trucks
and renting to the quarry owners.
2. The locals get some job opportunities and especially the skill levels increase
due to their exposure to the machine environment.
3. Due to higher earnings their general status of living improves.
Negative effects:
1. The dust if not controlled can harm the inmates.
2. The worst problem is due to dust generated during transport and the main
roads can be seen with this menace.
3. The rate of truck transport has increased the rate of accidents to locals and
the area is found to have increased number of accidents due to careless
driving .
4. Although the higher Noise levels may not harm persons working in quarry,
they will face the problem on a longer run.
(j) Occupation Health and Safety
The quarrying in this area does not involve any hazardous methods. The
quarrying is simple and open cast mining method. In this, the possibilities of
small injuries are anticipated. The Applicant is providing First Aid facilities at
quarry site and Office room.
This also consists of issuing PPE (Personal Protective Equipments) to all the
persons working, and those that are needed for the site specific operations.
The following PPE are proposed to be distributed.
• Helmets once in three years as needed under Mines Act
• Safety shoe to all the employees twice a year as per the same statute.
• Safety goggles to the Drill operators and Crusher operators which is a
site specific requirement.
• Nose masks once two months {Actually these are the cotton thin towels)
• .Other step to improve safety conditions is to inculcate the safety culture
among the persons working.

Forest
The quarry lease area is not falling under forest zone. (However, the Applicant
is proposing to undertake afforestation in the area).
Vegetation
The quarry lease area has operating mines, with an exception that, small
shrubs, herbs and thorny bushes have grown along the interspaces of boulders
and joints where some soil exists.
Progressive reclamation plan
The quarry lease area is just elevated 24 m above MSL. Reclamation is not
required in the life of the quarry as there is mineral deposit in depth that is
under operation. During first five years the progressive reclamation plan is not
given.
4. Mined Out Land No mined out land will be formed during this Plan period as mineral is
existing much below the proposed workings during this plan period.
The land that will be broken in the successive conceptual periods (the Life of the quarry is anticipated to be 53. years as of present).
LAND USE The on-going m1n1ng and the downstream activities have covered the lease hold for about 0.461 Hectares as detailed below:
1 Working Pit 9333 m2 0.9333 Ha
2 Dump/Stock Yards 5588 m2 0.5588 Ha
3 Buildings 225m 2 0.0225 Ha

All around the quarry that is in the buffer/safety zone of 7.5 meters as per AP
PCB and MOEF rules, around the quarry attempts will be made to grow plants
with local arrangement of drums fill ed with mud. Thus it is envisaged that
around 10 plants will be planted and taken care of in one year. Thus t he area
available around the periphery will be sufficient for around 15 years.
Although the area in general is fertile the location where t he quarry is situated
is totally rocky. Expect for some wild growing med ium sized plants t hat grow
in the cracks of boulders; t here are no not able species in the area. However 22
