A.KOTHAR MYDEEN Owner Location of the Lease applied area: Name of the quarry :Gangaikondan Part-2 Rough Stone,Jelly and Gravel quarry S.F.No : 1660/4 Extent : 1.62.0 Ha, Village : Gangaikondan Part-2 Taluk : Tirunelveli District : Tirunelveli State : Tamil Nadu Ownership : Private individual It is patta land registered in the name of the Thiru.Rasith Ali, vide Patta No-1524. The applicant has obtained consent from Pattadhar, Please refer annexure no IV & VII. (ii) Brief description of nature of the project The Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel quarrying operation is proposed to carry out by opencast Semi mechanized method by formation of benches. Three benches are proposed with a height of 5m on Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel. The width of each bench is proposed not less than the height. The area applied for quarry lease is exhibits almost plain topography covered by Gravel formation. The massive Charnockite formation is clearly inferred followed by the 2m (Avg) Gravel and sloping towards southeastern side of the area, the altitude of the area is above 92m (maximum) from MSL. The total quantity of Mineable reserve is 91,040m3 of Rough Stone and 18,574m3 of Gravel formation for a period of Five years only. The excavated rough stone will be directly loaded into tipper to the needy crushers/other buyers for road project and construction works for filling and leveling of low lying areas. The quarrying operation is proposed up to a depth of 22m below the ground level. The quarrying Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel of irrespective of sizes has a good market at present scenario. (iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region The Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel is important building material to our country and Region, it’s a vital material for construction industries and the Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel quarrying project falls in the area of Tirunelveli District, where plenty of Road widening projects are been carried being under massive development hence a lot of Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel is required for (Granular sub base GSB) and also for the culverts and bridges, Besides catering domestic construction projects. 3 PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT OF GANGAIKONDAN PART-2 ROUGH STONE, JELLY AND GRAVEL QUARRY UNDER EIA NOTIFICATION 2006 THIRU. A.KOTHAR MYDEEN Other infrastructure projects like building, Bridges are also under progress hence there is a huge demand of Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel for public sector companies and local private sector projects also. The earning source in the targeted area is limited, most of the people in and around the area depend upon the seasonal agriculture and much of the people migrate to nearby towns where good industries and factories are growing up. Through this project will give employment opportunities to 17employees directly and 9 employees indirectly.

(iv) Demand and supply gap There is a huge demand of Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel in Tirunelveli District as many National Road projects is under massive development for its widening and strengthening operation apart from this many bridges and fly over’s are also being under construction. There is a huge demand of Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel for infrastructure development of the state; hence the project is significant to the state. The Railway line is also under progress where huge Demand of Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel is required as Ballast. Other internal panchayat Roads, State Highway roads and Major District Roads are also under progress, besides all these public works projects the Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel is widely used for domestic construction project like Hospital, School, Government Building and Housing, Construction. It is worth mentioning that the Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel of Tirunelveli District. (v) Imports vs indigenous production There is no import of Rough Stone, Jelly and Gravel at present in India. (vi) Export Possibility There are no possibilities for export. (vii) Domestic/Export Markets After obtaining the lease the applicant will fetch a domestic market as mentioned earlier. It is propose to the excavated rough stone will be directly loaded into tipper to the needy crushers/other buyers for road project and customers for road project and construction works for filling and leveling of low lying areas. 4 PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT OF GANGAIKONDAN PART-2 ROUGH STONE, JELLY AND GRAVEL QUARRY UNDER EIA NOTIFICATION 2006 THIRU. A.KOTHAR MYDEEN (viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project It is proposed to deploy about 17 directly and 9 persons will be indirectly benefited.
