Generally the topography of the area exhibits hilly terrain. The permit applied area in particular; the topography is sloping towards Southern side. The highest elevation is 90m RL on the Northern side and the lowest is 74m RL on the Southern side of the area. Though there is no natural drainage in seen in the permit area, the rain water will drain into valley. b) REGIONAL GEOLOGY:
The study area is apart of the Southern Granulite Terain (SGT) consisting of rock types belonging to the Precambrian Gneissic Complex (PGC), which includes calc-granulite, pyroxene-granulite, variants of charnockite, hornblendebiotite gneiss intruded by quartz and pegmatite veins Southeastern portion is covered by calc-granulite band consisting of plagioclase, quarlz, diopside and little amount of gamet. Magnetite and sphene occur as accessories. The pyroxene-granulites occur as less than 3m wide thin bands enclosed by chamockites, These are composed of mainly quartz and hypersthene with accessory apatite and zircon. Chalnockite is the major rock type seen in the area; it has a gradational contact with the hornblende-biotite gneiss as observed in the southeastern part. The charnockite is medium to coarse-grained with quartz, feldspars, hypersthene, biotite and minor opaques.
Hornblende-biotite gneiss is composed mainly of qnartz, feldspar, hornblende and biotite. c) LOCAL GEOLOGY:
In the Permit applied area the major rock type is charnockite. At places white patches are seen in the core rock which shows de-charnockatisation of the charnockite formation. The general trend of the regional foliation is N60" E- S60'W.
Slope of the site is 9o towards SE d) EXPLO TION:
No Exploration was carried out.Granite building stone is clearly visible right from the surface and from the existing quarry pits. No further exploration program is required for this type of Granite building stone quarry operation.

5. MINING & MACHINERIES i) METHOD OF rtrrNrNc (OPENCAST / UNDERGROUND). Open cast Semi-MechanizedMining is being carried out with 5.0 meter vertical bench with a bench width is not less than the bench height. However, as far as the quarrying of Rough stone is concerned, observance of the provisions of Regulation 106 (2) (b) as above is seldom possible due to various inherent petro genetic factors coupled with mining difficulties. Hence it is proposed to obtain relaxation to the provisions of the above regulation from the Director of Mines Safety for which necessary provision is available with the
Regulation 106 (2) (b) of MMR-1961, under Mine Act - 1952. ii) MODE oF WORKING (MECTTANTZED, SEMI MECITANTZED, MANUAL). with conventional
MimngPlan Page 8 The Rough stone is specifically used for the Building stones, Foundation stone and fencing stones, hence the methodology of quarrying operation does not involve Heavy Earth
Moving Machineries. The jackhammer drilling will be used for the small amount of blasting to liberate the rock mass.
excavation, Loading and transportation of Rough stone to the needy crusher.
The production of Rough stone in this quarry involves the following method which is typical for Rough Stone quarrying in contrast to other majo.l mineral mining. Splitting of rock mass of a considerable volume of the parent rock mass by jackhammer drilling and slurry blasting. Rough stone will be loaded manually. If huge volume of Rough stone accumulates the same will be loaded with the help of hired excavators. It is a conventional opencast semi mechanizedmethod of mining. iii) PROPOSED BENCH HEIGHT AND WIDTH. The bench height is proposed 5.0 meter verlical bench the width of the bench is not
less than the Height. iv) WORKING DEPTH
The mine slte is a hilly terrain. The Quarrying operation will be proposed upto depth .Y of 65m RL. 5.1 MACHINERIES TO BE USED. Details of Machineries DRILLING MACHINE

There is no cultivation, plantation or agriculture found within the vicinity of the area. 8.4 Climatic Conditions The area receives rainfall of about 900/per annum and the rainy season is mainly from Oct - Jan during Nort\ East, monsoon. The summer is hot with maximum temperature of 42C and winter encounters a minimum temperature of 23"C. Page 15 Mining Plan 8.5 Human settlement There is no habitation within the radius of 100m.There are few villases located in this area within 5 km radius. 8.6 Plan for air, dust suppression The air quality will be affected by the Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) this will be generated by the blasting, jack hammer drilling, Loading and unloading during the quarrying Rough stone quany operation. The following Mitigations measures will be carried out o Mist Water spraying will be carried out by means of water sprinklers to suppress the dust emission in the Haul roads. o Vegetation will be planted on the exposed surface. . The Rough stone will be fully covered by the Tarpaulin during transportation to prevent the spillage of materials. Air quality will be monitored periodically as per Norms and Mitigation Measures will be canied out to pr6vent dust and Air propagation in to air. 8.7 Plan for Noise level control. The noise level increased due to the excavation, Drilling, Blasting, Transportation and Blasting. Engineering Noise control: Noise will be created due to the usage of Machineries and Vehicles. The Noise will be controlled in the following manner. o Selection of new low - noise equipments for the Rough stone quarry operation. . Modifications of older equipments o Implementation of effective preventive maintenance which reduces noise more than 50%. o Developing Green belts which act as Acoustic barrier, pollution absorbent and noise controller. . The drivers *itiUe strictly inducted to move the vehicle during the transportation not exceed 20 km per hour in project site. o Sentries with flags & whistle will posted in villag lated areato control and regulate traffic. Page 16 Mining PIan Shallow holes of 32mm diameter and 1.5m depth will be drilled and conventional low power explosives such as Sluny Explosives, ordinary safety fuse only will be used for rough stone. Hence, ground vibration and noise pollution will be minimal and restricted within the quarry workings. Noise level monitoring and other Mitigation measures will be carried out to reduce Noise and Vibration. 8.8 Environmental impact assessment statement describing impact of mining on the next three years. The mining plan is for a small amount of rough stone production without involving deep hole drilling and heavy blasting. Such limited mining activity is not likely to cause any impact adversely on the environment as far as pollution of air, water and noise is concemed, anyhow environmental impact studies will be conducted as per EIA notification issued by MoEF. 8.9 Proposal for waste management There is no waste anticipated in this rough stone quarry operation. The entire quarried out materials will be utilized 100%. 8.10 Proposal lbr reclamation of land affected during mining activities and at the end of mining (refilling / fencing etc.) In the mining plan only a maximum depth of 31m above ground level, has been envisaged as workable depth for safe & economic mining during entire lease period. After quarry reaches the ultimate depth and the end of the lease period fencing will be constructed around the quarried pits to prevent inherent entry o1'the public and cattle. There is no proposal fbr reclamation and rehabilitation. 8.11 Programrne of afforestation (indicate extend, number, name of species to be afforested). As per year wise afforestation programme, green belt plantation is proposed to be done in the applied area in 7.5 m wide safety barrier zone left round the mining alea boundary. The rnain aim of the green belt development is to arrest dust and noise generated fiorn the mine and alsd to form a visual barrier. Plantation will also be carried out on the mined out benches on the hill slopes to bring the area ear original form. Appropriate plant species of different life forms will be thereby provide habitat for the faun-al species. Page 17 Mining Plan 9. MINE CLOSURE PLAN _ Various works that are to be taken up under the mine closure plan includes:- 9.1 Re - vegetation - It is planned to restore most of the mined out area by thick plantation. The plantation in the mine area also includes gap filling plantation on the safety barrier zone left around the mine area. Gap filling plantation has been carried out in the safety barrier zone left around the mine afea from the beginning of the mining operations. Additional plantation will be carried out in the inactive mining area. Grass and bushes will be.planted in areas prone to erosion especially at the foot of the hill. Other areas will be spread with organic manures and planted with local species. The characteristics of this vegetation will resemble that of the natural environment except for the early growth, which may be a protective cover crop of non-seeding annuals. Before re-vegetation, the land will be properly prepared by spreading the top soil, which is rich in organic contents along with mulches and organic manure. Vegetation will be self- sufficient after planting and require no fertilizers or maintenance. 9.2 Support & Transport Infrastructures - The mining site and access road will be kept in a suffrcient good condition to allow access for monitoring till such time any other authorities wish to maintain and legally accept responsibility for the access roads. 9.3 Surface Bquipment and Heavy Machinery - Open cast semi-mechanized method will be used and after completion of the mining, the equipments will be taken out of the premises for their gainful utilization elsewhere. 9.4 Hazardous'substances- The hazardous materials and explosives will be totally evacuated from the mine site and the site will cleared of any such materials and substances. 9.5 Water Resource Management - Surface run-off from the mining area will be collected and stored in the mine pits and the water will be used for various purposes within the lease area. The mining activities will result in alteration of the surface runoff pattern in the lease area only and there will be no impact on the drainage pattern outside the mine lease area. The quality of the discharge run- off water will be maintained in compliance with the applicable state/national standards. 9,6 Monitoring - The monitoring of the'mine closure plan is an essentialrequirement for review of the efficacy of the mine closure and to take corrective actions. The monitoring consists of measuring the air quality, water qqality, preservation of landscape, land use values. Mining Plan Page 18 10. SUMMARY & CONCLUSION - surrounding areas as there will be increased opportunity of direct and indirect employment for the local people. the mine. surface water reservoir will be developed in part'of the mined out void in lower benches of the mind area. habitants. the area. the area without causing any significant disturbance to the environment. a \v P *, Page 1,9 Mining Plan !,1 II.
