Patha Arcot, Vijayapuram (M), Chittoor Dist., A.P. P-2 Sri P. Narppa Raju, Gravel Quarry Pre-Feasibility Report 2.0 Introduction 2.1 General: Gravel is one of the major materials being used in infrastructural projects, mainly as an aggregate in concreting. In addition, it also finds its applications in stone masonry constructions, as railway ballast, filler material, water treatment plants as filter media etc. etc. Dependingon the size of the material, Gravels are being classified as size stones, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate etc. Even the fine powder, which is the resultant of crushing of Gravel, finds its usage as finishing coat for black top roads. As per EIA notification 2006, and its amendments from time to time, the Project Proponent was supposed to obtain the Environmental Clearance (EC) from State Level Expert Appraisal Committee/ State level Impact Assessment Authority of Andhra Pradesh, constituted by MOEF, GOI for the purpose of operating the existing mine lease. As per the order dated 13th Jan 2015, of the Honourable National Green Tribunal (NGT), Principal Bench, New Delhi, all the existing/ operating mines and the mines due for renewal of all Minor Minerals, were supposed to obtain the EC from their respective SEIAAs, before 13th July 2016 (i.e. six months from the date of NGT order). Further, the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEFCC), Govt. of India had issued a Gazette Notification No. S.O. 36 (E), dated 14th March 2017, declaring all the operating units (incl. mines), which have not obtained the EC, as per EIA Notification 2006, as of date, as Violation Cases and directed them to apply for EC only from MoEFCC, before 13th Sept. 2017 (i.e. Six Months from the date of said Notification). Considering the abundantly available Gravel source and the growing demand in the market, Sri P Narappa Raju, S/o Late Narasa Raju has been operating a Gravel Quarry in Govt. land of 1.850 Ha. area, in Sy. No.158/4A, 4B& 4C of Patha Arcot Village, Vijayapuram Mandal, Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh, since the First Renewal period of 5 years from 17th Dec.2015 Valid until: 16th Dec 2020. Copy of the Notification & Govt. Order are enclosed in the Mining Plan. Now, the proponents are submitting the proposal to get Environmental Clearance for saleable Gravel production of 5,56,495 Tons, for a period of Two 1.850 Ha. Patha Arcot, Vijayapuram (M), Chittoor Dist., A.P. P-3 Sri P. Narppa Raju, Gravel Quarry Pre-Feasibility Report (02) Years block and one year effective production period. The extent of the area is small and falls under B2 Category, as per MoEF&CC. The Mining Plan has been submitted for the approval of the Deputy Director of Mines & Geology, on Copy of the acknowledgement enclsoed. 2.2 Identification of project and project proponent (in case of mining project a copy of mining lease / letter of intent should be given) Identification of Project Lessee/Project Proponent Gravel Quarry Sri P.
