1) INTRODUCTION

In pursuance of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India Gazette Notification No.S.O.141(E) dated 15.01.2016, S.O.190(E) dated 20.01.2016 and No.S.O.3611 (E) dated 25.07.2018 the District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) and District Environment Appraisal Committee (DEAC) were constituted for the grant of Environmental Clearance for category “B2” projects for quarrying of Minor Minerals. Under the para 7 (iii) of the said notification “Preparation of District Survey Report for Sand Mining or River Bed Mining and Mining of other Minor Minerals” is mentioned along with the procedures for preparation of the report in Appendix-X of the said notification.

In continuation, the District Level Expert Appraisal Committee (DEAC) will scrutinize and screen the scope of category “B2” projects pertaining to mining of minor mineral of lease area less than or equal to five hectare shall require prior environmental clearance from District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) and in turn DEIAA would grant Environmental Clearance based on the recommendations of the DEAC for the Minor Minerals on the basis of District Survey Report. The main purpose of preparation of District Survey Report is to identify the mineral resources and developing the mining activities along with other relevant data of the District. Earlier, the GSI has carriedout detailed survey and prepared DSR. Now it has been modified as per Government of India Gazette Notification No.S.O.3611 (E) dated 25.07.2018.

2) Overview of Mining Activity

Vellore District in Tamil Nadu accounts for 79% of country's resources of vermiculite (source: IBM - Indian Minerals year book 2016) with a single operating mine producing 989 tonnes in 2015-16 valued for 2218 million rupees. In addition to Granites (Dimension stones) and River Sand with minor occurrence of other minerals such as Fireclay, Graphite, Limestone, Quartz / Silica sand, Apatite, Barytes, Molybdenum, etc., excluding Atomic and Rare Earth Minerals.

3) General Profile of the District: Vellore is one of the biggest districts in Tamil Nadu. The district is primarily agrarian with majority of its population involved in agriculture. Leather based industry is the main industry in this district. Vellore district has an area of 6077 km². Vellore district lies between 12°15’ to 13°15’ North latitudes and 78°20’ to 79°50’ East longitudes in Tamil Nadu State. The largest telescope in India is situated in this district at and is a centre for planetary studies. Elagiri hills situated in this district is serving as one of the tourist / hill station in Northern Tamilnadu attracted by peoples of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka states.

4) Geology of the District: The major part of the district is covered by metamorphosed crystalline rocks of the Charnockite Group and the Migmatite Complex of Archaean age. South of , the area where the Charnockite Group of rocks is spread over comprises charnockite, pyroxene granulite, magnetite quartzites and younger basic dykes intruding into them.

The Migmatite Complex comprising biotite gneisses, agmatitic gneisses, sub-augen gneiss, quartzofeldspathic gneisses and gneissic granites with pink permeation is seen around Elagiri and Koratti hills.

The Peninsular Gneissic Complex consisting of fissile hornblende gneiss, granitoid gneiss and younger granites occur to the north of Palar River. Younger dykes are profusely noted in these gneisses. The Proterozoic Alkaline group of rocks occurs in the Koratti and Elagiri hills.

5) Drainage of Irrigation pattern:

The western part of the district is occupied by the Javadi and Elagiri hills. In the Elagiri hills, a few peaks 1121 m, 942 m, 841 m raise above, are prominent. In Javadi hills, the peaks 1076 m and 975 m are prominent. The eastern areas of

Vellore are undulating rugged plains with isolated hillocks of 120 m and 140 m above msl. The area is drained by Palar, and smaller distributary streams. The drainage is subdendritic and most of the streams are ephemeral. The Palar Flood Plain becomes broader on entering into the Kancheepuram district whereas in the west, it is restricted to the river bed only.

6) Land Utilisation pattern in the District: Forest, Agricultural, Horticultural, Mining etc; Out of the total area of 6077 sq. km., the Vellore District hosts the major land use as the Agriculture with Crop land and Plantation type

7) Surface water and Ground water scenario of the District:

Major part of the district falls in Palar river basin. Palar River is the major river draining the district, flowing towards east for a distance of about 295 km. It runs parallel to the hill ranges of the Eastern Ghats for a major part of its course. It has a vast flood plain in the lower reaches, but is dry for major part of the year. Ponnaiyar, Cheyyar, Pambar and Malattar are some of the major tributaries of Palar draining the district. Almost all the streams are ephemeral in nature and are mostly structurally controlled. The Palar is the longest of the rivers in the districts bordering and has been a major source of drinking water for the State capital and its suburbs. The Palar and its tributaries irrigate about 300,000 hectares of agricultural land in Kancheepuram, Thiruvallur, Chennai and Vellore districts. Analysis of surface water samples from Palar River by IAMWARM project shows pH, Electrical Conductivity, Total Hardness, Chloride and Coliform values are within the limits. Dissolved Oxygen falls below 5 mg/lit at places such as Koudanaya river, Nandhiyalam village, Rajakal head sluice, village and at stretches between Wallajabad to Asur due to mixing of Tannery effluent with water. This affects the aquaculture in the area. The river water is contaminated with domestic sewage. It is also found that Total Dissolved Solids is beyond the tolerable limit in tannery-polluted areas. Chloride is above the acceptable limit but below permissible limit. Total hardness fluctuates above and below tolerable limits and Biological Oxygen Demand is found to be very high in some head works.

8) Rainfall and Climatic condition of the District :

The average annual rainfall is 795mm, out of which Northeast monsoon contributes to 535mm and the Southwest monsoon contributed to 442mm. The Southwest monsoon, with an onset in June and lasting up to August, brings scanty rainfall. The bulk of the rainfall is received during the Northeast monsoon in October, November and December. The humidity ranges from 40%–63% during summer and 67%–86% during winter.

As per the study of the Tamil Nadu state Climate Change cell, Department of

Environment, Govt. of Tamil Nadu The annual rainfall for Vellore may reduce by

5.0% by the end of the century.

15) Quality / Grade of Mineral available in the District:

The major part of the district is covered by metamorphosed crystalline rocks of the Charnockite Group and the Migmatite Complex of Archaean age. South of Palar River, the area where the Charnockite Group of rocks is spread over comprises charnockite, pyroxene granulite, magnetite quartzites and younger basic dykes intruding into them.

The Migmatite Complex comprising biotite gneisses, agmatitic gneisses, sub-augen gneiss, quartzofeldspathic gneisses and gneissic granites with pink permeation is seen around Elagiri and Koratti hills.

The Peninsular Gneissic Complex consisting of fissile hornblende gneiss, granitic gneiss and younger granites occur to the north of Palar River.

Younger dykes are profusely noted in these gneisses. The Proterozoic Alkaline group of rocks occurs in the Koratti and Elagiri hills.

A number of smaller ultramafic-syenite-carbonatite bodies also occur along sub-parallel NNESSW trending fault/shear zones on both sides of the main zone of alkaline activity. Recent studies indicate that the alkaline plutonic activity extends further NNE, beyond River Palar. The complexes are emplaced into the charnockite group of rocks and their migmatitic equivalents of amphibolite facies grade. These complexes have formed the locci of mineralisation. The major lithounits forming the alkaline group are epidote hornblende gneiss, pyroxenite, gabbro, gabbroic anorthosite, syenite, carbonatite with lamprophyre dykes and quartz-

-37- barytes veins. Banded magnetite quartzite, charnockite and pyroxene granulite occur as enclaves.

The Koratti syenite carbonatite complex occurring in near the Koratti Village is an inverted pear shaped body extending into district. The Elagiri syenite comprises porphyritic, pink grey syenite and medium grained quartz syenite. These are emplaced into the charnockites and Peninsular Gneissic Complex comprising white silvery granitic gneiss, granitoid gneiss, agmatitic gneiss and amphibolite.

Lamprophyre and dolerite dykes occur as basic intrusives in the gneisses. The

Younger intrusives in this area are quartz veins, quartz baryte veins and aplite veins.

In northern part of Arakkonam, Satyavedu Formation is exposed comprising conglomerate, sandstone and clay of lower Cretaceous age. Quaternary formations are represented by the Palar Alluvium which increases in thickness towards east, comprising sand, silt and clay admixtures.

The foliation of the gneiss varies from N15°E-S15°W to N80°E-S80°W. F2 folds are prominent in the Javadi hills. The patterns of the feldspars show inward dips suggesting a basinal structure. The Pambar Shear trends NNE-SSW to NE-SW and extends on the western side of the area along the river course. Three generations of folds have been established in the area with minor, younger folds.

Elagiri Syenites: The Elagiri Syenite Complex comprises ultramafic, mafic and a variety of syenites with injections of carbonatite, felsite, lamprophyre, pegmatite and quartz / barite veins. Very coarse, grey syenite occupy the southeastern part of the hill and the plains to the south are the oldest unit within the syenite complex. Grey and pink porphyritic syenite and medium grained syenite occur in succession to the north in an arcuate shape. Pegmatoidal syenite is exposed in the lower slopes on the northwestern part of the massif and leuco syenite -38- in the lower slopes of the NE and ESE parts. Porphyritic hornblende syenite is found near the contact between grey porphyritic syenite and pyroxenite. Aplitic syenite veins are seen at many places in the eastern plains. A number of thin pegmatite veins are exposed along the southern slopes and quartz veins on the plains to the northeast of the hill. Carbonatite boulders are seen along the southern slopes. A diatreme igneous breccia is exposed to the north of the hill. Shearing effects are observed all along the peripheries of the hill, besides some minor shears within the syenite. Different generation of alkaline ultrabasic rocks, syenite and their xenoliths suggest multiple tectonic episodes in the formation of the Elagiri syenite pluton.

The contact between the alkaline pluton and the country is not exposed due to thick soil cover. Nevertheless, at places particularly in the western and southern margin close spaced intense fracturing in both alkaline pluton and the country rock has been observed. Primary flow banding defined by orientation of feldspars megacrysts is developed in the syenites in the southern and western part of the complex. These primary foliations/ flow bandings show a steep inward dip (i.e. towards the center of the complex), signifying a conical shape of the intrusions.

There are number of shear planes cutting across the syenites, noted in the complex.

The pyroxenites show effect of feldspathisation near the southern contact with syenites.

"Teardrop" structure of pyroxenites has been reported in the syenites more particularly in the southern margin and in the very coarse pink syenites. The xenoliths of pyroxenites are about a few cm in diameter to as much as 10 cm in length and mostly are lenticular. It shows chilled margin around the individual xenoliths and a portion of it shows protrusion into the syenite mass.

The central portion of the area is plain and the remaining area is hilly and undulating with isolated high hills reaching up to 703 m above msl. The easterly flowing Palar River drains the plain. The river has wide alluvial cover on either sides.

Kavundinya Nadi from the northwest and Agaram Ar from the south join the Palar

River. Two major tributaries Kallparai Ar and Uttalum Ar join the Agaram Ar. The

Vellore-Ambur section of National Highway No. 46 passes through the area. The

Chennai-Bangalore railway line of the Southern Railway passes through the central part of the area.

Distinct and contrasting litho-assemblages are exposed on either side of Palar

River. Charnockite and epidote-hornblende gneiss are the predominant rock types to the south of Palar. The rock assemblages in the north belong to the Migmatite

Group. Thick and wide Quaternary alluvium along the Palar River separate these two assemblages.

The dominant rock units of the Migmatite Group are hornblende-biotite gneiss and migmatites with minor agmatic gneiss and pink granitoid gneiss. The texture varies from banded to contorted gneisses, homophonous and even porphyritic.

These are traversed by polyphase injections of quartzo feldspathic veins. Mica- sillimanitekyanite schist occurs as patches. Pink syenite occur as isolated small plugs. Charnockite Group of rocks with interbanded sequence of pyroxene granulite and banded magnetite quartzite have undergone wide spread migmatisation giving raise to epidote-hornblende gneiss that show extensive shearing and abundant ultrapotasshic permeations. The litho contact between charnockite and migmatite psuedo-tachylite venations and fracturing along the Palar River course. These migmatite gneisses are quarried and are extensively used as road metal and building material.

The general trend of the gneissic foliation is NNE-SSW to NE-SW with moderate to steep dip on either side. At times the foliation swerve to NNW-SSE to

NW-SE. Joints are well developed in NNE-SSW to NE-SW and NW-SE directions with steep dip on either side.

Three sets of dolerite dykes cut across the above litho units along NW-SE,

NNE-SSW and WNW-ESE to EW directions in the central part of Vellore District.

The Palar River alluvium is restricted along the Palar River course and is composed of sand, silt and clay of varying proportion.

The eastern part of the Vellore District adjoining Thiruvallur and Kanchipuram

Districts depicts a peneplanated country with isolated hillocks and mounds of dolerite dykes, charnockites etc. The Gondwana Super Group, which overlies non-confirmly over the Peninsular Gneissic Complex is represented by Sriperambadur and

Satyavedu Formation is mainly argillaceous consisting of grey to white fossiliferous shales, with bands of sandstone and conglomerate.

Sand stone is fine to very coarse grained, light to greyish white in colour, compact, sub-arkosic with plenty of grey and white quartz. Multi storied sandstone show cycles of fining upward into silt and shale. Quartz gravel of quaternary age named as Conjeevaram gravel is seen overlying the Gondwana rocks at places. It is a semi consolidated rock formed by reworked quartz of the earlier sediments. Most often the gravels are highly lateritised.

B. MINERAL WEALTH

In , NE of Elagiri hills, a number of quartz-barytes veins traversing the gneisses analysed significant Molybdenum values (0.1 to 0.5%) upto 1 m thickness. Detailed investigation by drilling, trenching was carried out in these areas.

Sulphides in the form of pyrite, galena, molybdenite occur in quartz-barytes veins.

Carbonatites, SE of Sevattur (11°25'30";78°30'50") and around Koratti

(11°25'15" ;78°33'25") have brought to light 35 to 40% CaO, 3.6 to 8% MgO, 4.25%

P2O5, 100 to 1000 ppm of Ce, 80 ppm of La, 40 to 120 ppm of Nb and less than 500 ppm of Ta. Vermiculite and Barytes are worked locally by M/s.TAMIN Limited. Near

SevatHur, Vermiculite occurs in the northern parts of a pyroxenite band traversed by carbonatite.

Molybdenum:

The Alangayam area falls in the northeastern part of the Gudiyattam

Bhavani Belt and mainly consists of epidotic - hornblende gneiss occupying the valley between the Elagiri Hills in the west and the Javadi Hill range in the east. A number of quartz-baryte vein bearing pyrite, galena and molybdenite and occasion al chalcopyrite are emplaced within epidote -hornblende gneiss.

Detailed prospecting including scout drilling by GSI, has revealed a number of low dipping parallel quartz veins, some of which assayed significant molybdenum values (0.01% to 0.51%). The maximum thickness of the mineralised zone is one metre. A probable reserve of 86,314 tonnes and possible reserve of 6,33,408 tonnes with the average ranging from 0.0125 to 0.04% of Mo has been estimated.

Barytes:

Barytes occur as s associated with quartz veins near Alangayam, Vellore

District. The veins are irregular and the cost of winning is considered of barites costly because of the intimate association with quartz. Minor occurance of

Silliminatite and Steatite in Walajah Taluk of Vellore District.

Construction Material (including Dimension Stones)

Greater part of Tamil Nadu is occupied by hard crystalline rocks. These as well as some of the clays are used as construction materials for various purposes. The hard rocks are normally used as dressed stones, ballast and jelly in various parts of the state. In recent times stone crushing units have come up on large scale, catering to the high demand for road metal and railway ballast requirements.

Developmental activities in respect of dimension stone deposits such as exploration, exploitation, processing and export is so advanced in Tamil Nadu, it merits distinct entity and narration. Practically every major lithotype of the

Precambrian shield is formed a dimension stone variety, finding extensive use in building the industry.

The transition zone from amphibolite facies metamorphism in the north to granulite facies in the south in the western periphery of Vellore District and in

Krishnagiri District is marked by an uniquely designed, pink granite-gneiss which has become the world famous PARADISO.

STRATIGRAPHY OF VELLORE DISTRICT

-44-

The Alkaline carbonatite complexes located in a 250 km long and 25 km wide belt, trending NNE-SSW, extend from Gudiyattam in the north to Bhavani in the south. The Late Proterozoic period in Tamil Nadu witnessed large-scale extensional tectonism with the formation of deep crustal fractures with intrusion of alkaline related plutons and granites. The alkaline related plutonism was widespread in the north in parts of Vellore, and Salem Districts, where a number of ultramafic-syenite-carbonatite bodies of Elagiri, Koratti, Samalpatti and Pakkanadu occur in a NNE-SSW trending zone extending from Gudiyattam in the north to

Bhavani in the south over about 200km.

Younger intrusive granite with weak to moderate foliation and colour range from grey/yellow to pink forms dimension stone deposit such as RAW SILK, VANJI

PINK, GREY PEARL, MOON STONE, TOMATO/CHILLI RED, etc., in localities,

Tiruttani, District and adjoining Sholingur in Vellore District.

In addition to prolific occurrence of multi coloured granite deposits, Tamil

Nadu is also endowed with high and medium quality black granite deposits. Some of the black granites are being quarried by TAMIN and other private enterprises in the area surrounding Sholingar and other parts of the district. Of these, the Kunnam

(KNM) BLACK is equivalent to the JET BLACK or ABSOLUTE BLACK of Sweden wherein the inherent characteristics such as densely clouded plagioclase feldspar, naltered pyroxene (augite and pigeonite) and appreciable incidence of opaque accessories have all contributed to the absolute blackness of the material which attains glossiness and reflectivity of very high order on polishing.

21) Impact on the Environment (Air, Water, Noise, Soil, Flora & Fauna, land use agriculture, forest etc,) due to mining activity : -

A. DIMENSIONAL STONE AND ROUGH STONE QUARRIES

In most of the dimensional stone quarries like colour granites and black granite,

the recovery is reportedly poor due to colour and textural variation, cracks and

joints, mafic inclusion etc., Hence systematic geological investigation required to

reduce the impact of environment.

The safety measures and the mining regulations should be followed strictly like

provision of fencing, name board, sign board, corner pillars, water sprinklers,

maintenance of green belt, etc. These are required to be strictly enforced.

The rough stone quarries operating in various part of district poses environmental

concerns in form of air pollution as the fine dusts migrate far distances.

Water sprinkling should carried out periodically during mining activities to avoid air

pollution in nearby villages/.

It is recommended to protect these stagnant water bodies in the quarry sites with

suitable permanent fencing in order to keep the cattles away from the site.

-48-

Heaps of mine waste has been found dumped around the mine / quarry sites that

modifies the landform of the area and unnecessarily occupying the open land.

These mine waste may be utilized (mostly the charnockites and black granite) for

the production of other products like aggregates (jelly stones), M-sand and dust

material, etc.

Levelling of ground in the mined area after mining activity has finished, with dump

and development of plantation/afforestation should be done by the concerned

lease to make the balanced environment

Introduction of e-permit system and implementation of Mineral Dealers Rule and

the dispatch slips/transit permits with tampered proof security features and

tracking of mined out minerals will fetch more revenue to the State Exchequer as

well as sustainable development.

All the database of the Mines, quarries including the permits are recommended to be maintained as a spatial geodatabase by establishing a seperate

Geoinformatics / GIS wing within in Department of Geology and Mines at each district headquarters. This will enable effective monitoring and helps the decision makers for effective planning and execution.

Prolonged riverbed material mining in a given place of the river will induce

seasonal scouring and intensify the erosion activity within the channel. This will

have effect not only within the mining area but also both in upstream and

downstream of the river course. Hence, effects of such scouring and enhanced

erosion due to riverbed mining should be evaluated periodically and avoided for

sustainable mining activities.

Maintain river equilibrium with the application of sediment transport principles in

determining the locations, period and quantity to be extracted. -49-

C. GUIDELINES AND METHODOLOGY

The District Survey Report for rough stone as per the notification of the

Government of India dated: 25.07.2018.

22) Remedial Measures to mitigate the impact of mining on the Environment:

22.1 Remedial Measures to mitigate Air Pollution

➢ Water sprinkling on mineral transport road from the mines to the main road ➢ Black topping of the main transportation roads to the possible extent. ➢ Avoiding crowding of trucks by properly spacing them to avoid the concentration of dust emission at any time ➢ Covering the trucks by tarpaulin sheets during ore transportation ➢ Proper maintenance of HEMM to minimize gaseous emission ➢ Imparting sufficient training to operators on safety and environmental parameters ➢ Development of green belt / plantation around mine, along the roads, backfilled area in various undisturbed areas within the mine lease areas etc.,

22.2 Remedial Measures to mitigate water Pollution

➢ Industrial effluent treatment systems wherever necessary to be introduced and maintained properly. ➢ Safety barriers to be provided for all water bodies and no mining activities should be carried out in the safety barrier area. ➢ Mitigative measures like construction of garland drains formation of earth

bunds to be followed in the waste dumping areas to avoid wash off.

➢ Domestic effluents to be treated in scientific manner

➢ Required statutory clearances to be obtained and all precautionary measures

to be adopted wherever pumping of ground water is involved.

-50-

22.3 Remedial Measures to reduce Noise & Vibration

➢ Planting rows of native trees around mine, along the roads, other noise

generating centres to act as acoustic barriers.

➢ Sound proof operator’s cabin for equipment may lead to less noise

generation.

➢ Proper and regular maintenance of equipment may lead to less noise

generation

➢ Air silencers of suitable type that can modulate the noise of the engines of

machinery to be utilized and will be maintained effectively.

➢ Providing in-built mechanism for reducing sound emissions.

➢ Providing ear muff’s to workers exposed to higher noise level and to those

persons operating or working close to any machine.

➢ Conducting regular health check-up of workers including Audiometric test for

the workers engaged in noise prone area.

23) Reclamation of Mined out area (best practice already implemented in the

District, requirement as per rules and regulation, proposed reclamation plan)

Since it is rough stone quarry, the quarried pits after the end of the life of lease will be fenced to prevent inadvertent entry of the public and cattles. This quarried pit may be allowed to collect rain and seepage water which will enhance the ground water level and reach of the nearby wells.

24) Risk Assessment & Disaster Management Plan:

Risk Assessment and Disaster Management plan in connection with mining and allied operations should be spelt out in detail to cover possible dangers /risks/ explosions/ accidents etc., likely to arise from the project -51- operations including onsite and off-site emergency plans to meet the disastrous situations if any. The management is able to deal with the situation efficiently to reduce confusion keeping in view of the likely sources of danger

in the mine.

i) Outline of Disaster management plan :-

The purpose of disaster management plan is to restore the normalcy for early

resumption of mining operation due to an unexpected, sudden occurrence

resulting to abnormality in the course of mining activity leading to a serious

danger to workers or any machinery or the environment.

ii) System of communication:-

An internal communication system should be provided. Telephone nos. and

addresses of adjoining mines, rescue station, police station, Fire service

station, local hospital, electricity supply agency and standing consultative

committee members should be properly updated and displayed. iii) Consultative committee:-

A standing consultative committee will be formed under the head of Mines.

The members consists of Mines manager /safety officer / medical officer /

public relation officer/Foreman/ and environmental engineer. iv) Facilities & Accommodation:-

Accommodation and facilities for medical centre, rescue room and for

various working groups shall be provided. Regular checking of these

facilities shall be undertaken.

-52- v) First Aid & medical facilities:- The mine management should be having first aid / medical centre for

use in emergency situation. All casualties should be registered and

should be given first aid. The center should have facilities for first aid &

minor treatment, resuscitation, ambulance and transport. Proper

telephone / wireless should be provided for quick communication with

hospitals where the complicated cases are to be referred. Regular

checking of these facilities shall be undertaken by the doctor and the in

charge of the first aid room. vi) Stores and equipment :-

A detailed list of equipment available, its type & capacity and items

reserved for emergency should be maintained. vii) Transport services:-

A well-defined transport control system should be provided to deal with

the situation.

viii) Functions of public relations group:-

Liaison with representatives of the mine workers is required to ameliorate

the situation of panic, tension, sentiments, grievances and misgivings

created by any disaster. Management is required to ameliorate the injured,

survivors and family members of affected persons by providing material,

finance, moral support and establishing contact with relatives of victims.

The consultative committee formed, especially the nominated public

relation officer shall look into these aspects.

-53- ix) Security :-

Manning of security posts is very essential during the disaster management.

x) Catering & Refreshment :-

Arrangement will be made for the victims, rescue teams and others.

25) Details of the Occupational Health issues in the District. (Last five-year data of number of patients of Silicosis & Tuberculosis is also needs

No patients are identified and treated for silicosis during the last five years.

However meeting has to be conducted regularly regarding the occurrence

of silicosis.

26. Plantation and Green belt development in respect of leases already

granted in the district

It is necessary to develop Green belt in and around the polluted site with

suitable species to reduce the air pollution effectively. Implementation of

afforestation program is of paramount importance. In addition to

augmenting existing vegetation, it also checks soil erosion, make the

ecosystem more complex and functionally more stable and make the

climate more conductive. Limekankar deposits being shallow in depth,

mining simultaneous backfilling method will be followed in most of the

mining areas. During the operations, the plantation will be proposed and

will be carried out on the safety barrier areas and also on the mined out

and backfilling areas.

-54-

27. Any other Information The details related to the occurrence of mineral resources and other data of the

district are subject to updation from time to time. Before grant of any quarry

lease, the parameters related to geosciences and sustainable developments are

to be considered on the basis of ground reality. The Vellore District is having

very large deposits of Charnockite rock which is the raw material for the

production of aggregates and M-sand. M-sand is the need of the hour to replace

the utilisation of river sand. The Charnockite / Rough Stones are crushed in the

crushing units for the manufacture of aggregates and M-sand which gives direct

and indirect employment to the local people. Preferences and encouragements

can be given to the Entrepreneurs for set up of new units for the production of

M-sand.
