No:4558/Q1/2013 dated 23.09.2014 has granted a quarry lease for road metal over an extent of 0.607 ha in Sy. No401/B (part), Kondakavur village, Narsaraopet Mandal, Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh for a period of 18-10-2014 to 19-10-2024 in favour of Sri A. Venkaiah Choudary. The Assistant Director of Mines & geology Vide proc No. 4230/Q1/2013 dated 18.10.2014 permitted to conduct the quarrying operations from 18.10.2014 to 19.10.2024 for period of 10 years (ii) Brief Description of the Nature of the Project. Project is Road Metal Quarry located in an area of 0.607 Ha. Road Metal of 5032 m3/Annum is produced by means of conventional method of opencast mining through drilling, blasting, loading and shifting through dumpers/tippers before crushed. (iii) Need for the Project and its importance to the country. The newly formed Andhra Pradesh state Infrastructure Mission aims for the creation of a well-planned and seamlessly integrated infrastructure within the State. Road Metal is used to lay beds for roads and foundations; used on pathways and ornamental gardens. Smaller stones as well as lower-quality stones can also be used in cement and blacktop applications as it adds strength. (iv) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) Due to Project. The direct employment potential of the project is 20 persons. 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of Project (including interlinked and interdependent project, if any) The proposal is for production of 5032 m3/Annum of Road Metal from ML of 0.607 Ha adopting conventional method of opencast mining through drilling, blasting, loading and transportation through dumpers/tippers before crushed. (ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location and project boundary & project site specific layout) with coordinates. SRI A.

MINES No alternate sites are considered as the project is site specific. (iv) Size or Magnitude of operation. 5032 m3/Annum of Road Metal production. Project Description with Process details (a schematic diagram/ Flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given. The mining will be carriedout in an area of 0.607Ha. Road metal in the quarry area is excavated by conventional method of opencast mining which will be semi-mechanized and on single shift basis. Because of presence of hard and competent rock mass, drilling and blasting will be performed for loosening of the rock mass. The material in the quarry area is excavated by conventional method of opencast mining through drilling. Blasting, loading and shifting through dumpers/tippers before crushed. Mine is operated for 25 days in a month and 250 days in a year. (v) Raw Material/ Consumables Required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final product, mode of transport of raw material and finished product. Kondakavur area is enriched with stone which is hard in nature. Since the hill track is boulder in nature, jointed & fractured, about 90% of the total excavation will be subjected to drilling & blasting for loosening fragmentation for ease in production and remaining is excavated directly by the machine and 100 kg of explosive will be consumed. Powder factor is found to be 6 t/kg of explosive (vi) Resource optimization/ recycling and reuse envisaged in project, if any, should be briefly outlined. None (vii) Availability of water, it’s source, Energy/power requirement and source should be given. Water requirement is 10m3/day (max) and the same is purchased from local sources No Mining activity is involved during night times. (viii) Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their management / disposal. No Waste generation from the mine is expected.
