The applicant has got rights to Quarry over the area for the project. There is no forest land of any category. (iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and/or region: The argillaceous Earth may be either accumulated by Wind action or deposited by water action, and in the latter case they might be formed in marine, brakish or freshwater environments. The Earth is used as main raw material for manufacturing Bricks and is essential in the civil construction activities of the 3 Pre-Feasibility Report country like building of home, school, hospital, community buildings, infrastructure using this Earth and there by contributes to the Economic development of the country, thereby provide opportunity for employment to the people in the region and Revenue to the local Panchayet. After mining is finished the area will be levelled to be fit for cultivation. (iv) Demand-Supply Gap Demand of Earth is fulfilled by this project by supplying to the captive manufacturing unit. (v) Export Possibility Lessee would use the mineral in his Brick production unit and sell in domestic market only. There is no export market for this product. The entire quantity will be consumed in the captive manufacturing unit. (vi) Domestic Export / Markets Lessee will sell his product in the domestic market only. No export is proposed. (vii) Employment generation (direct and indirect) due to this project. The managerial/supervisory staff and other workers will be employed. About 10staff members employed directly and around 10 persons engaged indirectly to this proposed mining project. Thus around 10 persons in total will get employment including direct and indirect. The tentative man power required for the proposed mining project will be as follows: - S.NO CATEGORY QUALIFICATIONS TYPE NO. OF MEMBERS 1 Foremen Experienced Skilled One 2 Supervisor Experienced Skilled Two 3 Clerk Experienced Skilled One 4 Excavator operators Experienced Skilled Two 5 Helpers Experienced Skilled Two 6 Watermen/Cleaners Experienced Skilled Four Considering 10 people in a family, this 16 persons employed will get 100 persons benefited depending on the mining activities in the lease area. 4 Pre-Feasibility Report 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of project interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. This is a Earth Quarry project located at S.F.NOs. 175(P), 176(P), 177(P), 193(P) and 195(P) Kaithiankottai Village, Vedasandur Taluk, Dindigul District. It is mandatory to obtain environmental clearance for all mining projects irrespective of mining area as per the order of the Honorable Supreme Court of India in I.A.No.12-/13/2011 in S.L.P. No.19628-19629 of 2009 etc., dated 27-02-2012, the Ministry of Environmental and Forest office Memorandum dated 18-02-2012 from the District Level Environmental Impact Assessment Authority, Tamilnadu. As per above order all projects less then 5 hectares fall in ‘B2’ Categroy of Schedule 1(a). The extent of this Earth Quarry project is 1.52.0 Hect and fall in ‘B2’ Category of Schedule 1 (a) (ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project layout) with coordinates. He proposed mining lease area located at L Latitude : 10°34'48"N to 10°34'52"NLongitude : 77°58'20"E to 77°58'26"E It is represented by the survey of Inida Toposheet No. 58 – F/14. The satellite image is given in Plate – 1B and the specific location of the project site is given in the Plate – 1D. The area can be approached from NH-7, Salem - Kanniyakumari road on Western side of the area. The nearest Railway station is Eriyodis the nearest Railway Station which is 11.5Km on South western side of the site area. The MSL of the mine area is 203(Max). Proposed method of mining: It is proposed to develop the mine by adopting opencast method by semi mechanized means without blasting and storage of the mineral Earth, as the mineral is not hard in nature. It is a shallow depth of mining, the allowable depth of mine is 0.50m. below ground level. Upto the mining site Panchayet road is available and from there to some extent hard gravel road has to be laid out for the movement of Tippers. Temporary pipes will be provided wherever necessary for free flow of storm water. The period of mining allowed is Three Months Only. There is no over burden arise in this mining activity. Temporary labours from neighbouring villages are engaged for maintaining and regulating vehicle movements assisting in quarry operations. The project boundary is surrounded by patta land 5 Pre-Feasibility Report owners and there will not be any disturbances due to this project. The speed of truck is restricted, while travelling Panchayet road and State Highway say 15 km PH and 30 km PH respectively. The mined material is loaded directly in to the tippers and it has to be covered with Tarpaulin up to the end users unit. Extent of Mining The depth of mining of 1below ground level by opencast semi mechanized method of mining. Period of mining is Three Months Only. Excavation and loading of mineral Earth is done by JCB Excavator. Diesel quantity of 300 litters/day will be used for the excavator which will be brought from nearby Diesel Pumps. The mining activity is done in day time only. Water balance chart: Water balance chart/day Water ( 0.3 KLD ) Through Tanker (0.1 KLD ) Surface Water ( 0.2 KLD ) 1.

Green Belt Development Through outsourcing Sewage ( 0.05 KLD) Linked To Septic Tank & Dispersion Trench 6 Pre-Feasibility Report ix) Quantity of wastes to generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their management / disposal. There is no topsoil / overburden cover available. The domestic municipal solid waste generated to a quantity of 0.1 Ton / month will be sent to local body compost yard. (x) Schematic representations of the feasibility drawing which give information of EIA purpose. As per the order of the Honourable Supreme Court of Indian in I.A.No. 12-/13/2011 in S.L.P. No. 19628- 19629 of 2009 etc., dated 27-02-2012, the Ministry of Environmental and Forest Office Memorandum dated 18-05-2012 clearance has to be obtained for Minor Minerals from the District Level Environmental Impact Assessment Authority, Tamilnadu. Form I and Pre-feasibility report is required to get Environmental Clearance for the project from SEAC. EIA Report identifies all of the issues and technical requirements of a proposed operation, with particular attention to potential Environmental, health and Safety, Social and Economic Impacts. The purpose of EIA is to ensure the protection and conservation of the environment and natural resources including human health aspects against uncontrolled development. The long-term objective is to ensure a sustainable economic development that meets the present needs without compromising future generation’s ability to meet their own needs. EIA is an important tool in the integrated environmental management approach. The aim of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to enable the approving authority, the public, local and central government and the developer to properly consider the potential environmental consequences of a proposal, and to make recommendations to reduce the environmental consequences if necessary.
