Rex Application Form for Obtaining Environmental Clearance from State Level Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) Tamilnadu FORM I (I) BASIC INFORMATION S. No Item Details 1 Name of the project/s Koppampatti Rough stone and Gravel quarry project 2 S. No. in the schedule 1(a) 3 Proposed capacity/ The proposed quantity of reserves is 239225m3 of area/length/tonnage to be Rough stone, Gravel formation and Weathered Gravel handled/command area/lease formation is about 15824m3 and 30046m3 for a period area/number of wells to be drilled of five years only. Area = 2.04.5Ha The command area =1.85.5Ha (effective quarrying area after leaving safety distance). It is a shallow open cast quarry. The massive Charnockite formation is found followed by the 1m Gravel and 2m Weathered Gravel formation. Hence no wells are proposed or not drilled. It is a Rough stone and Gravel quarry in Koppampatti 4 New/Expansion/ Modernization Village. Existing capacity/Area etc. The proposed quantity of reserves is 239225m3 (or) 42266 Lorry Loads of Rough stone up to a depth of 38m below the ground level for a period of five years.

No Yes/No quantities/rates, wherever possible) with sources confirmation of information data The lease applied area almost plain terrain, will be changed after the quarrying of Rough stone and Gravel as per the Mining plan, Conventional Open cast Semi Mechanized Mining with 5.0 meter vertical bench with a bench width of 5.0 meter is being proposed. Topography will change in respect to overburden excavation. However, measures will be implemented as per mining Plan.

Hence, there is no proposal for creating of new land uses. Temporary approach road within the project area will be form 1.3 Creation of new land uses?
