A. Briefly describe the general topography explaining whether it is a plain land or hilly area and local geology of the mineral deposit within the lease hold. Attach a geological plan on 1:1000 scale with 1-3m contour intervals.
TTooppooggrraapphhyy The surface topography of the area is mound in shape. The maximum elevation of area is 591m. The lease is part of Revenue land which is mound in shape. The mound having general slope towards South. The entire lease area is mineralised with Ordinary Stone (minor mineral). The surface plan of the area is shown in Plate no IV, Surface Plan. GGeeoollooggyy TThhee aarreeaa sshhoowwiinngg aa nnaattuurree aanndd eexxtteenntt ooff tthhee mmiinneerraall bbooddyy A surface geological plan and section on a scale of 1:1000 of the proposed lease area showing general topography and general geology of the area is attached as Plate No IV and V respectively. RReeggiioonnaall GGeeoollooggyy The State of Chhattisgarh constitutes one of the important geological
terrains of the Indian shield exposing rock sequences from Archaean to
Recent. A crustal scale Central Indian Shear Zone (CIS) trending E-W and
passing through the central part subdivides the state into two distinct
geological provinces viz., the southern Bastar Province and the Northern
Satpura Province.
The Bastar Province constitute cratonic nuclei comprising Archaean
Gneissic Complex with tectonic slivers of older Suma supracrustals and
flanked by Kondagaon and Bhopalpatnam granulite belts in northeast and
southwest respectively. In the central part of the gneissic complex Bailadila
Group representing Neo-Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic greenstone belt,
Sonakhan Belt in Raipur Mahasamund district, where it is referred as
Baya Gneiss. Gness migmatite mainly include baned gneiss, stomatic
gneisses and leucocratic gneisses. Which contain metasedimentary,
metaigneous and tonalite-trondhjemite gneiss (TTG) restites. The gneiss
is commonly grey in colour, medium to fine grained and crudely banded
with parallel oriented streaks of biotite and rare amphiboles. Bands are
richh in quartz, feldspar and biotite. The abundance of biotite in the
vicinity of meta-sedimentary enclaves in the gneiss suggests that it is not
an original constituent of the granitic gneiss but represents assimilated
material from the surrounding rocs, BMQ, hornblende-schist, pyroxene
gneiss and quartzite occurring as thin unmapable bands scattered over
wide area in Malkangiri valley west of Sukma within biotite gneiss
indicate that these gneisses are of hybrid nature and are product of
remobilization of the basement gneisses. These gneisses have been
referred as Bijapur Gneisses and Bengpal Gneisses. TTG has been
occurred as restites within the Bastar Gneissic complex. In most places
toanlite trondhjemites have been involved in later anatexis yielding melts
of granite-granodiorite composition.
B. Describe briefly prospecting/exploration work done to date viz. Geological mapping with the evidence already existing about the mineral deposit in the area or in the vicinity(Attach geological report)
The quarry lease is existing quarry and the lease area is a part of hill and mound in shape the exposure of stone is seen in the existing pit within the lease area. The availability of the stone is proved up to 6 m from the ground level. So no exploration work required.
The mine is an existing mine of lease area 2.22 Hectare. As stated earlier,
the area within the proposed lease is a part of hill and mound in shape.
There is no thin layer of soil in the lease area so development work is not
required.

It is proposed that the lease area will be converted in to flat land after mining and will be further available for mining. AAiirr eennvviirroonnmmeenntt The mine is very small mine, no significant impact of mining activities on the air quality is anticipated. The method of mining is conventional open cast mining by drill and blast method.
No crushing and beneficiation is proposed to be done within the lease area. The possible sources of air pollution are:
1. Emission of dust due to drilling, loading and transportation. 2. Vehicular emission 3. Blasting fumes
MMiittiiggaattiioonn mmeeaassuurreess The following measures shall be taken to mitigate the air pollution.
1. Water spraying shall be done at strategic locations to suppress the dust.

NNooiissee aanndd vviibbrraattiioonn The source of noise in the area where the mine is located is due to presence of some crushers and small mines of mineral minerals. The potential sources of noise due to the proposed mining activity are blasting, drilling, and movement of vehicles. Since the mining is being carried out on a very small scale, vehicular movement will not have any significant impact on the noise level. However, blasting may cause some noise pollution. The following precautions shall be taken to minimize the noise generated due to blasting.
1. Blasting shall be carried out with electric delay detonators. DF shall not be used.
2. Blast hole shall be stemmed properly with drill cuttings to avoid air blast.
3. Blasting shall be carried out only in the afternoon. No blasting shall be carried in cloudy day.
4. The charge/delay shall be restricted as per DGMS circular.
No important public structure, historical monuments, village are located very close to the proposed mine which may get damaged due to blast induced ground vibrations. However, following precautions shall be observed to minimise the blast induced ground vibrations.

WWaatteerr qquuaalliittyy mmaannaaggeemmeenntt The mine working will never intersect the ground water and hence there will be no effect of mining on the ground water. Also no river nalla etc follows within and around the lease boundary which may get affected due to mining. The water quality is discussed in detail in environment management plan. The lime stone rock does not contain any toxic substance which may contaminate water. There is no potential of acid mine drainage also. There is no chemical beneficiation is involved in the process of mining hence no tailing will be produced. The level of water table is very deep, even it is hilly area and in this plan period production will be done from hilly part and also up to 6m from the ground level therefore chance of encountering the same during proposed quarrying is nil. Periodic samples would be collected from nearby wells and surface water reservoir to monitor the quality of water. AAiirr qquuaalliittyy mmaannaaggeemmeenntt The main sources of air pollution during operation are SPM, blasting fumes, and emission from vehicles. The following measures shall be taken to manage the air quality.
1. Drill machine shall be equipped with dust collectors. 2. Water spraying shall be done on the haul roads. 3. Dust musk shall be provided to workers. 4. Water spraying shall be done at all loading and unloading points,
etc. Ambient air quality monitoring will be done regularly at suitable stations. WWaassttee mmaannaaggeemmeenntt There is no waste rock in the deposit, waste management is not required. TToopp ssooiill mmaannaaggeemmeenntt Not required as soil is not present in the lease area.
