Gangadharan is situated at Re-Survey No. 151/1 of Puthur Village, Thalassery Taluk, Kannur District, Kerala in an area of 0.8456 hectares. The project proponent posses Letter of Intent (LOI) for the project issued by Mining & Geology Department, Govt. of Kerala and copy of same is attached as Annexure No. 1. Mining projects of minor minerals with area less than 50 ha. of mining lease are categorized as category 'B'. As per O.M. dated 24/12/2013 by Ministry of Environment & Forests, Govt. of India, all projects with mining area less than 25 hectares is classified as Category B2. The Eco-friendly Mining Plan prepared by an Indian Bureau of Mine (IBM) approved Recognized Qualified Person (RQP) has been approved by Mining & Geology Department, Govt. of Kerala. This Mining plan is based on the requirements under the Kerala Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2015. The land for the quarry project is a private owned land and is possessed in the name of Shri K. Gangadharan. The targeted production of mine will be 11,370 MTA. The estimated project cost will be Rs. 15 Lakhs. The expected life of mine estimated will be about 5 years. The mining operation will be carried out by opencast semi-mechanized method as per the approved Mining Plan. 1.1 SALIENT FEATURES & ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF THE PROJECT Particulars Details Geographical Location Latitude (N) 110 47’45.92” to 110 47’50.94” N Longitude (E) 750 36’41.95” to 750 36’46.04” E Total Mine Lease area 0.8456 hectare Total Area under Possession 1.0603 hectare Current status of the quarry Old Abandoned Quarry Local name of the project area Vellampara Project Site Toposheet No. 49 M/9 Production 11,370 MTA Geological Reserves 2,93,830 MT Mineable Reserves 56,851 MT Life of Mine About 5 years Estimated project cost Rs. 15 Lakhs Man Power 12 Persons Highest and lowest elevation Highest 120 MSL & Lowest 75 MSL Land use Private own land Nearest habitation Nearest habitation is at 156m towards South Nearest Town Panoor 7 km, SW ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS & CONSULTANTS PVT.

GANGADHARAN 6 1.3 TOP SOIL & OVER BURDEN A total quantity of 1,129 cu. m. of topsoil is proposed to be removed during the mining operations. The topsoil excavated from the quarry will be dumped / stacked separately at pre-determined place and subsequently will be utilized in spreading over reclaimed areas for plantation as part of eco-restoration. About 847 cu. m. of overburden (OB) will be generated throughout the mine life. This waste will be utilized within the pit for lying of haul roads. At the end use, OB can be reutilized as soil base for plantation. 2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.(i) IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT The project is for obtaining Environment clearance for building stone mining project (Minor Mineral Quarry).
