PART– I MINING PLAN FOR BUILDING STONE
Granted to
SRI. B.N. NAVEENKUMAR OVER AN EXTENT OF 1.2140 Ha. IN SURVEY NO. 16 OF
KANTHEVADERAHALLI VILLAGE, KORATAGERE TALUK TUMKURU DISTRICT
ii. Air Quality: The mining operations will be by the manual method. The
workforce will expose to the air is due to dust which gets air borne due to
vehicular movements and dumping only.
iii. Water Quality: During rainy season silt is likely to get mixed with rain
water and flow to the seasonal nala flowing through the area. There are no
toxic elements discharges into the drains from the mining operations.
33
iv. Noise level: The area is more than 150 M. from the village roads where the
traffic is very low. The mining digging and traffic are the causes of
increasing noise level.
v. Water regime: As the area is a raising ground, there is no danger envisaged
to water regime by this quarry area.
vi. Socio Economics: The main occupation of the surrounding people is
agriculture and allied activities, the mining activity in this belt will benefit
to the local people both directly and indirectly. The direct beneficiaries will
be those who get employed in the quarry as skilled and un-skilled workers.
The indirect beneficiaries will be those who open small business to sell
goods required by the residents whose “per capita” income will be enhance
by the mining activity, and thereby their purchasing power. In the long run a
lot of social goods is expected in the comparatively backward area when the
inhabitant will be sent their children to school.
vii. Historical Monuments: There are no historical monuments in or around
the area and hence there will be no impact due to mining. Because of small
scale mining there will be no effect.
C. ATTACH AN ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (SUPPORTED
BY APPROPRIATE PLANS AND SECTIONS) DEFINING THE TIME
BOUND ACTION PROPOSED TO BE TAKEN WITH SEQUENCE AND
TIMING IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS (OR DIAGRAMS SHOULD BE
USED)
i. Temporary storage and utilization of top soil: The soil generated is mixed
with pebbles etc. can be used for road maintenance. The soil useful for
agriculture, afforestration, trenches, whenever excavated will be stored
separately in the yard identified within the lease hold to height of maximum
of 0.06 M to keep their microbial activities safe.
34
ii. Year wise proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining activities
during the 1st to 5 years: No reclamation is proposed in this plan period
because the mining will be continued further depths from present pit bottom.
iii. Program of afforestration. Year wise for the initial five years: It is
proposed to develop a green belt in proportion of the non-mineralized area
and 7.5 m. buffer zone of the lease boundary. In addition, the place around
the haul road and backfilling area shall have plantation at the conceptual
period. Every year it is proposed to carry out afforestration over 0.054Ha.
by planting 500 saplings per annum around the quarry area. The species
chosen for green belt are fast growing good canopy and dense leaf density,
eco-friendly commercial/ species and some ornamental plants to give good
aesthetic.
The Total area of survey No. 16 is Government Kharab Land over an extent of 79
Acres part of which has been sanctioned to quarrying and poor households by the
Revenue Department. The remaining area is having thin soil cover with rock out
crops. The Plantation will be taken up in the vacant waste land followed by
trenching and earthen bunding.
For the plantation the saplings were procured from Karnataka Forest Department
Nursery, Koratagere and plantation will be carried out every year.
The Activities to be carried out under CSR Activities are as follows.
· Plantation in the School and Gram Panchayath Premises at nearby villages.
· Road side plantation along the approach road to the quarry and maintenance.
· Group insurance to workers and staff.
· Health insurance long term employers working in quarry and crusher.
· Medical check of work force once in 3 months and keeping the records.
The Budget for next five i.e. for plan period is shown in the Table below.
iv. Stabilization and Vegetation of dumps: There is no generation of
overburden / waste in the proposal plan period. Hence, there is no need of
stabilization of the dumps.
35
v. Measures to control erosion/ sedimentation of water courses: There is no
surface erosion in the subject area because the surface area is exposed by the
granite.
vi. Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Since there are no mine
waters or ground waters, the proposal of pumping out or any sort of treatment
and disposal of water from the quarry does not arise.
vii. Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: No adverse
effects are anticipated on water regime.
viii. Protective measures from ground vibrations / air blast caused by
blasting: There will be drilling and blasting is proposed in this area.
ix. Measures for protecting historical monuments and rehabilitation of
human settlements: There are no historical monuments are located close by
and hence need for protection does not arise.
x. Socioeconomic benefits arising out of mining: Few labors will get
employment and the state Government and Village Panchayath will get
royalty due to mining activity.

3.0 RESERVES: Please refer para No. 3 e (i) (ii) (iii) page No. 9 to 10
3.1 Mining Method: Please refer para No. 4 (b) page No. 12 to 14.
3.2 Mineral beneficiation: There is no mineral beneficiation. Man power will be
used for producing material. The question of tailing from the tailing ponds
does not arise. Only the material removed from the quarry will be transported
from the quarry to the respective stock yard, destination.
3.3 Review of Implementation of Mining Plan/ Scheme including five years
progressive closure Plan up to the final closure of the mine: The various
proposals made in the approved mining plan for the 5 years period has been
carried out to avoid environmental problems in the area.
3.4 Abstract of the proposals for Protecting of Environment:
Temporary storage and Utilization of Top soil: The soil generated is mixed
with pebbles etc., can be used for road maintenance. The soil useful for
agriculture, afforestration and trenches, whenever excavated will be stored
separately in the yard identified within the leasehold to a height of Maximum
0.5 M to keep their microbial activities safe.
3.5 Quarrying and allied activities: As per the proposed production and
development plan for plan period area for quarrying 0.8640 Ha, Mineral
storage area is 0.02 Ha. The Green belt around the lease area is about 0.2700
Ha.
3.6 Year wise proposal for Reclamation: Since Granite deposits are likely to
continue, concurrent reclamation is not feasible and after working pits are
40
exhausted, than concurrent backfilling will be proposed. The mined out areas
as shown in the relevant year wise production and development plans will be
not matured enough for reclamation. Hence, the backfilling on worked out pits
for reclamation program is not envisaged presently. Suitable afforestration
technique will be adopted for reclamation after winning of the mineral. Proper
fencing will be provided all round in order to prevent accidental falling of
animals and human trespassing in to the working areas.
3.7 Afforestration program: It is proposed to develop a green belt in portion of
the non-mineralized area and 7.5 M buffer zone of the lease boundary. In
addition, the place around haul road and backfilling area shall have plantation
at the conceptual period. Every year it is proposed to carryout afforestration
over 0.054 Ha. For planting 500 saplings per annum. The species chosen from
green belt are fast growing with good canopy and dense leaf density, eco-
friendly commercial species and some ornamental plants to give good
aesthetic look are shown on Environment Management Plan Plate No.9.
3.8 Stabilization of dumps: There is no generation of overburden / waste in the
proposal plan period. Hence, no need of stabilization of the dumps.
Measures to control erosion / sedimentation of water courses: There is no
surface erosion in the lease area because; the surface area is exposed by the
granite.
Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Since there is no mine water or
ground water, the proposal of pumping out or any sort of treatment and
disposal of water from the quarry does not arise.
Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: No adverse effects
are anticipated on water regime.
41
Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of the
habitat: There are no historical monuments are located close by and hence
need of protection does not arise.
4.0 CLOSURE PLAN:
4.1 Mined – Out Land:
Reclamation of the area will not be considered during the planned period of 5
years program. In view of the above, reclamation proposed concurrent to
mining and at the end of 5 years without complete extraction of ore available
in the area becomes violation of MCDR. As such the program of reclamation
of mine is not envisaged at this stage.
After complete extraction of estimated reserves the reclamation of area of land
affected by mining activities will be taken up in order to restore to its original
use to the possible extent. The reclamation measures proposed will be back
filling in phased program wherever it is necessary. The deep pits after
completion of mining which could be serving as water ponds will not be
considered for backfilling and will be left as it is after taking necessary
landscaping and providing protective measures in the aspects of safety by
consuming retention wall all along the lease boundary.
The details of the proposed land use are given below:
Type of Land used Extent in Ha. Existing Quarry area 0.8640 Waste dump yard 0.0300 Mineral Stock yard 0.0200 Infrastructure 0.0100 Road 0.0200 Green belt 0.2700 Untouched area - Total 1.2140
42
4.2 Water Quality Management: Water quality is good because there is no
source of pollution due to extraction of building stone material.
4.3 Air Quality Management: Dust generated by this quarry activity is quite
less. The major source of air pollution is due to Wagon Drill drilling activity
and loading of overburden / waste. The management of air quality shall be
by suppression of dust by water sprinkling on haulage roads and wet drilling
methods. Also in the vicinity of the area no major industries are seen and
the deposit is worked on very small scale.
4.4 Noise Level and vibration: No deep drilling and blasting activity involved in
quarrying operations. Only small diameter Wagon drilling is proposed for
wire saw cutting. Protective ear muffs, nose masks and hand glows, safety
shoes etc. are provided to reduce the effect of sound / noise and vibrations
for the drill operations.
4.5 Waste Management: The generation of waste material is very less from the
quarry and the same is utilized for afforestration / backfilling.
4.6 Top Soil Management: The soil likely to be generated will be pebbly soil.
This will be heaped in a maximum height of 0.6 M and used in
afforestration trenches. Grass will be planted to arrest erosion due to wind
action.
4.7 Infrastructure: The applicant will construct temporary structure required to
be maintained under statutory obligations which can be removed once the
work is completed. The approach road to the mine will be made and will be
maintained to meet the requirements of transportation. These are required
for utilization till the end of lease period.
4.8 Disposal of quarrying machinery: There is no proposal of disposal of
mining machineries during the present plan period.
43
5.0 SAFETY AND SECURITY:
The applicant will follow prevailing Mines Act., Karnataka Mines Minerals
Concession Rules & Regulations etc., as well as other directions given to him
time to time by the Directorate General of Mines safety. The applicant will
securely fence the excavated area by barbed wire of 1.5 M height to prevent the
free access and unauthorized people to the quarrying area. The applicant will
appoint security persons to ensure to prevent unauthorized entry on weekly off
days and during the time of discontinuation of quarrying operation.
6.0 DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT:
All the safety measures during the quarrying will be taken as per the norms of
DGM’s. Safety of the men and machine are most important during this
quarrying activity. No danger to public life and property arises as only trucks
ply from quarry site through public road. There are no water impoundments at
higher levels or at lower contours.
7.0 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DUE TO TEMPORARY
DISCONTINUANCE:
The requisite care and maintenance procedures shall be followed during
temporary discontinuance of the quarry. The notice of temporary
discontinuance in prescribe forms shall be submitted to the appropriate
authorities concerned in this regard with details of protection measures being
taken up. Security of the working areas fencing and suitable display boards
shall be put up during the temporary period of discontinuance.
8.0 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE
AND MAN POWER RETRECHMENTS:
8.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of the
continuation family occupation and scope of joining the occupation
back: The locals employed are about 50%. Those who are directly
44
employed, they are basically from agriculture back ground, they will be put
back to their original occupation. Necessary counseling will be taken care.
8.2 Compensation given to be given to the employee connecting with
sustenance of him and their family members: Compensation as provided
in the statue will be given, at the time of final mine / quarry closure to the
eligible persons.
8.3 Satellite occupations connected to the quarrying industry-number of
persons engaged therein-continuation of such business after quarry
closes: Most of the satellite occupations are not fully depending up on the
quarrying activity or closure of mines and the quarrying operations is small
scale. So the occupations like workshops hotel and tea shops will not affect
continuance their business.
8.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of
mining lease area and any other remnant activities: Security and
essential service to the people will continue to be employed for purely
shorter term / temporary basis, where operations are discontinued for longer
period, it is not continue with employment and so there will be reduced to
minimum, counseling will be extended for their rehabilitation.
8.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to
closure of the mine / quarry: There will be effect on their economy,
communication, transportation to some extent, but still these difficulties will
be manageable to large extent. The details will be given in the final mine /
quarry closure plan.
9.0 ABANDONMENT / REHABILITATION COST AND COST
ESTIMATION:
The cost based estimation on the activities required for implementing the
protective and rehabilitation measures including their maintenance and
monitoring program.
45
10.0 TIME SCHEDULE FOR ABANDONMENT:
The present plan prepared is a progressive quarry / Mine Closure Plan
indicating the reclamation and rehabilitation measures being taken up
simultaneously with the quarrying operations. No abandonment of quarrying
activities is envisaged. The man power and other resources for implementing
the protective and rehabilitation measures will be dealt in detail in the quarry
closure plan to be prepared for approval before abandonment of the quarry.
The details of afforestration inside and outside the quarrying lease area,
reclamation and rehabilitation, environmental monitoring details, machinery
performance and socioeconomic impact of quarrying shall be regularly
monitored and furnished to DMG records of the same shall also be maintained.
