Construction, operation or decommissioning of the Project involving actions, which will cause physical changes in the locality (topography, land use, changes in water bodies, etc.) Details thereof (with approximate S.No. Information/Checklist confirmation Yes/No quantities /rates, wherever possible) with source of information data The Quarry operations envisaged for the proposed plan period & during the tenure of the lease period involves change in land use/topography covering an extent of 10.117 Ha. The quarry lease area is a part of barren hill raised 86.60 M above Permanent or temporary change in land ground level within the quarry lease use, land cover or topography including 1.1 Yes applied area with topo relief in E – SE increase in intensity of land use (with direction. The exposures of rock respect to local land use plan) outcrops are abundant in NE -SW. The lowest contour is 596.50 M and highest contour is 683 M. The proposed permanent/temporary change in land use or land cover for the ensuing Plan period is given in Mining Plan. There will be clearance of existing vegetation wherever required. However, as the existing vegetation density in the Clearance of existing land, vegetation and mine lease is only about 0.4, no heavy 1.2 No buildings? clearance of vegetation will be required. There are no existing buildings in the lease area and hence no proposal of clearance of existing buildings is made The proposed Quarry activities will result in change/creation of new land use. The waste lands in this part of the region will be judiciously & scientifically explored & systematically worked so as to create a good Quarry methodology for proper utilization of the granite deposits in view Creation of new land uses? of Granite Conservation and 1.3 Yes Development Rules apart from proper reclamation of the subject area for creation of new land use to suit the local requirement i.e. Afforestation of the Quarry lease area, development of infrastructure, roads & pits for storage of rain water & rain water harvesting measures. The area has been studied for estimation of road metal reserves by Geological Pre-construction investigations e.g. bore Mapping. Accordingly reserves have 1.4 Yes houses, soil testing? been calculated & Mine Plan Prepared & submitted to Department of Mines & Geology. Since this is a New quarry, construction/erection of temporary Construction works? structures for mines office, rest shelter, 1.5 No first aid station, sanitation etc., are proposed on non-mineralized areas of Quarry lease. 1.6 Demolition works?
