2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACK GROUND INFORMATION

2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJtrCT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.(D IDENTIFICATION OF PROJtrCT AND PROJECT PROPONENT The project is for obtaining Environment clearance for building stone mining project (Minor

Mineral Quarry). The quany project is proposed by Mr MD Anil Kumar as Managing Director. The lease area is private own land Sy.No: 427,43511 in Erimayur Il Village, Alathur Taluk. , Kerala State in area 3.9811 Ha. The project proponent has obtained Letter of intent from Director of Mining and Ceology, Govt. ofKerala 2.(iD BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT

Mr MD Anil Kumar proposes a building stone quarry for dealing in mining and trading of mineral. The main objectivc of the project is to carry the business of operating and working on quarrics. The main markct tbr mineml is in Palakkad District and other nearby districts in Kerala which are utilized it in construction works ofbuildings and roads.

2.(iii) NEED FOR THE PROJtrCT AND TTS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND OR REGION

The major need of Cranite building stone is due to its high compressive strength and dufability (among the hardest. dimensional & structural stones), it can effeetively wirhstand the vagaries of naturc. The high hardness & density, makes it useful fbr many applications. The proposed mining project will fulfill itsend uses in buildings and construction ofroads, pavingand many other extcrior projects. lt is also known as the maintenance-liec stone.

The mining and associated activities in thc mineral bcaring areas bring about gains in gross domestic product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the proposed project but will add to gains in G.D.P. (Cross Domestic Product). A total of l8 persons will be emp-loyed in the mine. lt will create cmployment (though marginally) lor local population. Applicani will pay royalty to Covt. of Kerala lor the mineral produced from the mine. direct and indirect taxes will be paid thereby contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue will further be put lor infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education and social welfare. 2. (iv) DEMAND - SUPPLV GAP Masonry / Building Stone are an important component tbr the construction / developmeorat worK for all inlrastructure development and building construction and road constrrction activities.

Demand of building stone shall be fultilled by various end users. During last few years, due to sudden increase in real estate activities and in other inlrastructural development activities, the demand of the building stone has further enhanced the demand of building stone in the area. Therefore, there is a large requirement of building stone in the project vicinity to meet the demand supply chain. 2.(v) IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

Building stone product is an indigenous production. Therefore, this product is neither exported nor rmponeo. 2.(vi) EXPORT POSSIBILITY

The building stone is an indigenous product and hence there are no possibilities ofexpon. 2.(vii) DOMESTIC / ExPORT MARKETS

The rock produced from the quarry will be sent to the Crusher unit. The aggregate produced will be sold to the contractors and to the consumers which are finally consumed locally for road (PWD & Panchayat roads, State Highway & National Highway) & building constructron rvorks. Fine Material will bc sold to the hollow block / solid block manufactures. 2.(viii) EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT.AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT

The total numbers of employees including skilled, semi skilled and un-skilled workers lor the quarry project is expected to be about l8 Persons in which includes workers for minc. The dctails ofthe employees / workeN including their position in the organizalion are also givcn

MINERAL TRANSPORTATION

Loading of mineral from the quarry will be done by excavator and will be sent to the crushing unit. Trucks / Tippers of l5 MT will be used ibr transponation of mineral from mine site to the crusher. It is expected that 5 trips will be required on daily basis. For this,

\= movement oftruck per hour will be one only. Thus, the impact due to movement oftrucks from mine will be marginal and well within the carrying capacity ofthe .oads. 3,(VID RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION / RECYCLING AND REUSE ENVISAGED IN THE PROJECT Mineral will be utilized and sent for use to dilhrent end users lor road and building construction works. The top soil cover has an avemge thickness of about 0- 1.0 M. The top

soil during site preparation for production will be dozed down to the earlier rvorked our area

by dozing or by engaging excavator and will be stored in the southern western part of the mined out area to meet the future backfilling requirements after quarrying operations. The quantum oftop soil generated will be:

First year - 1600 Mr Second year -1050 Ml

Mainly the waste generated is the recovery loss duc to the incidental to quanying. There is no wastc intercalations. So there is no need of permancnt stacking of sub grade mineral. Hence a zero waste management of minerat is proposcd. The dust ginerated will be suppressed by

water spraying and removed as slime collected in de-silting pits. 3.(viii) AVAILABILITY OF WATER ITS SOURCE, ENERGY / POWER REQUIREMENT AND SOURCE WATER 'l-he total rvater requirement lor the proposed mining activity is 5KLD.

The water required will be sourced from the open well , panchayath water supply, canal and quarry water. However, the drinking water will be sourced from the open well or Panchayat Water supply which will be treated / disinfected before consumption. lt is proposed to collect the storm water into the Holding/ Siltation Tank by constructing appropriate channels all around the foot of hill (garland drains). The channels will be constructed with intermediate check dams/silt traps to prevent soil erosion. The sizing ofthe channels will be lm x lm.

POWER

KSEB I I KV KSEB power supply is available at the site adjoining the quary lease area at the entrance to the mine along with a 400 KVA transformer and LT line. The quarry is proposed to be worked only during day light hours. And only diesel operated machines are proposcd in the quafry. 3.(ix) QUANTITY OF WASTES TO BE GENERATED (LIQUID AND SOLID) AND SCHEME FOR THETR MANAGEMENT / DISPOSAL.

SOLID WASTE: It is estimated that around 2650 cu. m. oftop soil will be generated from thc proposed mining opcration and which will be propcrly stacked. LIQUID WASTE:

5 PLANNING BRIEF 5. (D PLANNING CONCEPT

The mining will be done by open cast semi-mechanized method ofmining. The bench height and width will be maintained 5 m. Excavated matorial is transponed to the crusher unit available near the complex for lurther processing. The proposed mine will have capacity to produce 125000

MTA of building stone. It will be used for construction of buildings & roads. Mineral will be transported by trucks / tippers to the end users. 5.(iD POPULATIONPROJECTION

About l8 Persons ofemployecs proposed forthe quarrying operation. Most ofthe person will be sourced fiom neighboring villages. Thus there will be no increase in population due to the project.

5.(III) ASSESSMENT OF INFR{STRUCTURE DEMAND (PHYSICAL AND socrAL)

lg The mine site has its own approach road and well connected to the nearest public road / highway, which will help in commutation of wotkers and tmnsportation of minerals. As such there is no major inlrastructurc facilities planned in this project and does not call for importance The main mining site and secondary access road will be k€pt in a sufficient condition to allow access.

On the basis olthe site visit, the infrastructure demand in the nearby villages will be assessed on the basis of need and priority. Job opportunities are limited and newer avenues of skill development for income generation are required. 6.0 PROPOSEDINFRASTRUCTURX 6.(i) INDUSTRIAL AREA (PROCESSING AREA) 'fhe project site area is not located in an industfial area. Thc project is a mining project and is sit€

soecific. 6.(ii) RESIDENTIAL AREA (NON PROCESSING AREA) As the Iocal person will be given priority in employmont, no permanent rgsidential area / housing is proposed only labour sheds are provided within the complex 6.(iiD GREEN BELT

Since thc quarry will be active reclamalion m€asures are not possible in the mined out areas, however this aspect will be taken care in progressively closing the quarry after exhausting lhe Chamockite to the proposed depth. The quarry operations during this 2l years are planned up to
