The districts of Gulbarga, Bagalkot, Belgaum, Shimoga and other Uttara Kannada districts are endowed with extensive high grade limestone. The present and consistent production of approximately 14 million tonnes provides for the cement plants in these districts. 2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION The mining lease was executed over an area of 4.86 Ha, in Hebbal Village, Mudhol Taluk, Bagalkot District Karnataka in favor of Sri. K.H. Sabarad. 2.1 BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT The lessee wants to enhance the production from 57,000 TPA to 1, 20,000 TPA of Limestone and Dolomite by semi mechanized method. The lease area is 4.86 ha. No forest land is involved. The total mineable geological reserves available are 7, 82,059 MT of limestone. The expected life of the mine is 7 years. Total top soil generation during the life of the project will be 1695.10 Cum and OB will be 1, 21, 46.15 Cum. The black cotton soil will be removed during mining will be utilized to form bund all along the lease boundary on which green belt will developed. The intercalated waste which is an intercalated shale in the plan period may used for lying road from mine to approach road and to maintain roads within mine area and rest will be dumped in the area earmarked on mineralized area within the lease area. Water requirement for the proposed project for domestic use, dust suppression and plantation, will be 5.28 KLD, which will be met from tube well pumps at nearest village. 2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY OR REGION The basic objective of the project is to effective utilization of Mineral in the country and /or region. With the development and industrialization has enhanced the demand of Limestone. Limestone is greatly used in architecture as it is easily obtained, cut and carved. Limestone rocks contain flint, clay, sand and calcite in varying amounts. It is also preferred by most of the people 5 PROJECT: LIME STONE & DOLOMITE MINING PROJECT PRE-FEAS IBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: SRI K.H.SABARAD in architecture and decoration, as it is long lasting and does well in every climatic condition. Calcareous sedimentary rocks are known as limestone and they are composed of the mineral calcite. When calcite’s calcination is done, it gives lime as a product. In nature, limestone is available in various purity levels, depending upon the other minerals present with it. For example, if some limestone is present with more than 10% of dolomite, it is called as dolomite limestone and same goes for magnesium limestone too. When limestone is recrystallised and polished, it becomes a decorative and building stone called “marble. 2.4 DEMANDS-SUPPLY GAP In India Limestone has a wide application and demand. The major application of limestone in India is in cement Industry. According to the Cement Manufacturers’ Association, (2010) India ranks second in cement production in the world, with an installed capacity of about 230 million tonnes in 2008–09. The Indian cement industry has been on a high growth trajectory for more than a decade, led by buoyancy in sectors such as real estate and construction. Government expenditure on infrastructure, in the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007–2012), is expected to be to the tune of US$ 350 billion. Moreover, the government's continued thrust on infrastructure will help the key building material to maintain an annual growth of 9-10 per cent in 2011. The mining industry has witnessed continuous modernization and adoption of new technologies in recent years for the excavation of mineral like Limestone. Limestone demand has been on an upsurge in India due to the high-rise demand in the cement Industry. Demand is being driven by mega infrastructure, residential and commercial projects. Major producing areas/ Supply In India, limestone is available in many states such as Karnataka, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand. The value of production of non-metallic minerals was at Rs. 3527.62 crores during 2008- 09, and increased by 2.89% as compared to the previous year. Limestone retained its leading position by contributing 70.92% of the total value of non-metallic minerals in 2008-09. The production of Limestone at 204 million tonnes in 2008-09 increased by 5% as compared the previous year. Limestone is widely produced in India. As much as 88% of the total output in 2008-09 was contributed by seven principal States; viz. Andhra Pradesh (22%), Rajasthan 6 PROJECT: LIME STONE & DOLOMITE MINING PROJECT PRE-FEAS IBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: SRI K.H.SABARAD (18%), Madhya Pradesh (13%), Gujarat (11%), and Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh and Karnataka (8% each). The remaining 12% of the total production was shared by other limestone producing States. 2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION There will be no import of Limestone. 2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY Limestone production from this project will be exported. 2.7 DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKETS DOMESTIC MARKET Sri. K.H. Sabarad of Hebbal Limestone & Dolomite Mine is supplier of limestone to major industries. EXPORT MARKET The proposed mining activity is for indigenous consumption only for producing cement. 2.8 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION DIRECT EMPLOYMENT Total employment in the mining lease will be around 32 people. The local villagers will be preferred for employment.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 TYPE OF PROJECT INCLUDING INTERLINKED AND INTERDEPENDENT PROJECTS, IF ANY. The proposed project of 4.86 ha area is operating limestone mine and falls under Category-“B2” As per the EIA notification of Ministry of Environment Forests and Climate Change, Govt of India (MoEF&CC), dated 14th September, 2006, as amended from time to time.
