1.1 Granite and its uses Granite is a very common intrusive igneous rock. It is light-colored granulose plutonic rock composed of the minerals feldspar, quartz and biotite & muscovite mica. These minerals make granite white, pink, or light grey. Granite also contains small amounts of dark brown, dark-green, or colour minerals, such as hornblende and biotite mica. Granite is very hard and dense. It can be readily cut into very large blocks and it takes an extremely high polish. The name granite is derived from the Latin word granum, which means grain, an obvious reference to the granular texture of granite. The average density of granite is between 2.65 and 2.75 g/cm3, with a compressive strength of above 200 Mega Pascal (MPa).

Uses Granite has been extensively used as a dimension stone and as flooring tiles in public and commercial buildings and monuments. With increasing amounts of acid rain in parts of the world, granite has begun to supplant marble as a monument material, since it is much more durable. Engineers have traditionally used polished granite surfaces to establish a plane of reference, since they are relatively impervious and inflexible. Granite tables are used extensively as a base for optical instruments due to granite's rigidity, high dimensional stability and excellent vibration characteristics. Rough-cut and polished granite is used in buildings, bridges, paving, monuments and many other exterior projects. Indoors, polished granite slabs and tiles are used in countertops, tile floors, stair treads and many other practical and decorative features. Presently, cut and polished granite slabs of 20 mm thickness are preferred for flooring, while tiles of 10 or 12 mm thickness are used for cladding. 1.2 Quarry Location and its surrounding Details of the quarry lease area around 10km radius are presented in table 1.

Total colour granite reserves = 214720 m3 The colour granite reserves blocked under buffer zone = lxbxh = 372x7.5x22= 61380 m3 Mineable colour granite reserves = 153340 m3 Salable colour granite reserves as 18% R.F = 27601 m3 Mineable Reserves and Life of the Quarry The total quantity of mineable reserves is considered as (economic) marketable reserves. In this way a total mineable reserves of 27601 m3 are available in this Q.L. applied area. The production is proposed to obtain 1037 m3 per year. At this rate of production, the expected life of the mine is calculated as follows. Life of the Quarry: Mineable Reserves / Annual production = 27601/1037=26.6 or 27 years. 4.0 Mining Open cast method of mining will be carried out in this mine by semi mechanization by using compressor operated jack hammer drills, excavators, and dumper etc. Hydraulic excavator and compressor operator jack hammer is used for cutting the rock. Close spaced drilling of 0.2m was adopted along a straight line and charged with low explosives to avoid feather cracks. Transportation will be made by trucks to dispatching point.

9 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan a) Separation of large primary Blocks from the mother rock by pre-splitting (Primary) The mining will be followed in the form of linear cut method. This involves loosing of the primary block from mother rock. Hence primary cutting will be done by line drilling method where close spaced parallel holes along straight line will be made. Line drilling method is used for separation of primary blocks. i. Once the free face is developed in working place, the primary cuts are taken up over a maximum length of 10m to a width of 3m and to a depth of 6m depends upon the joints availability. These dimensions are confirmed as for field studies. Primary block will be cut into secondary blocks by Jackhammer drilling and wedge cutting and this block will be dislodged from in-situ position by an excavator. ii. Line drilling method will be used for cutting the primary blocks which involve drilling and blasting. iii. The holes are charged with low explosive cartridge like gun powder and non-delay detonators for smooth blasting. iv. The use of delay detonates causes fragmentation and cracks in rocks. The non detonating cords are inserted into the holes and the holes are stemmed with muck and plugged at the mouth and fired. v. Thus the block will separate from the mother rock, which is pulled off from the face with cranes or shovel. Sub-Division of large Primary Blocks into Secondary Block This will be done during close spaced holes (along a line) down to the depth and the secondary block will be removed easily by just pulling it with the help of proclain. Close spaced holes will be drilled to the half the length of the block on either side of it by using wedges blocks can be separated. b) Production of Commercial Blocks After primary separation, the rock mass will be carefully examined to avoid hair line cracks, mineral segregations and veins etc. The dressing of the rough blocks will be made by chipping the edges and geometrically equating the edges of the block at the dressing yard. The rough blocks obtained after primary cut it will be dressed for obtained good geometric shape of granite. Thus the commercial blocks are produced.

11 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan 5.0 Scheme Development and Production for First Five Years The scheme of development and production for the first five years has been planned in consideration of the nature of the deposit within the lease area. It is observed that the sheet rock is exposed on Southern side of the Q.L. area without any overburden and therefore the development of the quarry is confined towards Southern side near pit of the Q.L. area. 5.1 Year wise Development There is a vertical and free face is available on east side of the QL area. So the east side area is selected to work for next five years production. It is envisaged to produce 1037 m3 of salable granite blocks in each year. To raise this target production about 5760 m3 of rock mass has to be mined. The site inspection reveals that the east side near pit of the lease area is suitable for development during 5 years program. During this five years operations a total rock mass of 28800 m3 will be excavated and 5185 m3 of granite blocks will be recoverable from this rock mass and remaining material of about 23615 m3 will go as mineral waste.

12 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan 5.2 Drilling and Blasting Drilling and Blasting plays vital role in determining the size and shape of rough blocks. Drilling pattern is important in developing a working face and also preparing the rough blocks suitable for their use in appropriate processing units. Even though, there are no important places in and around the area, blasting will be carried with all precautionary measures. 5.2.1 Drilling Parameters i. Drill holes diameter is 37 mm. ii. Depth and inclination of the blast holes is 3 meter in case of separation primary blocks depending on the block size. Then the drill-hole will be vertical. iii. Spacing and burden: 1.5 x 3m. iv. Stemming and charging of the blast hole. The Blast hole will be charged with 100 grams of explosives and filled with clan pills subsequently; the shot hole will be stemmed. Explosive type: Gun Powder. 5.2.2 Broad Blasting Parameter Drill-Hole patterns for primary and secondary smooth blasting. Uniform single line, equidistant holes (line drilling) will be deployed for separation of blocks from mother rock. In the case of sheet rock the primary drilling will be in the form of equidistant vertical holes to take out blocks of Gang Saw. 5.3 Solid Waste During five years operations a total rock mass of 28800 m3 will be excavated and 5185 m3 of granite blocks will be recoverable from this rock mass and remaining material of about 23615 m3 will go as mineral waste. There is no much overburden on the deposit. Boulders are exposed on top of the colour granite. The eastern side of the area is selected for dump yard for next five years and the waste will be stocked in the dump yard, Step dumping will be resorted. When the dumps reach their optimum height suitable greenery will be grown on these dumps to stabilize them. This material can be utilized to fill the pits after quarry operations are over.

14 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan 8.0 Environment Management Plan Environmental protection is an issue that no organization can neglect and hope to survive. The products of civilization are being dumped upon the environment to a degree that the environment finds difficult to assimilate. The key to the success of the integrated approach to pollution prevention and control is the management and operation of the organization. Effective committed management delivers a successful operation. As total commitment to the environment, not just for compliance with legal or regulatory compliance will be the essence of environment management. Many companies have recognized the benefits of implementing an effective environmental management system. Environmental management plan can be effectively implemented to mitigate the pollution levels by observing the following: a. Pollution will be prevented or reduced at the source b. Pollution that cannot be prevented will be recycled in an environmentally safe manner. c. Pollution that cannot be prevented or recycled will be treated in environmentally safe manner and d. Disposal and other releases into the environment will be used only as a last resort and will be conducted in an environmentally safe manner. The proposed project is granite mine. The mine owners are aware of the adverse impacts due to the mining activity and propose to initiate a number of measures for the environment protection within the mine area and in the surrounding areas. The company has a stated environmental policy of ensuring regulatory compliance with respect to the statutory laws and regulations and those periodically issued by the Ministry of Environment, GOI, New Delhi, CPCB, New Delhi and State Pollution Control Board. 8.1 Sources of Pollution and Control Measures The sources of pollution are air and noise from the proposed activity mainly from Mining, drilling, Blasting and transportation of mineral. Waste material generation, dumping and restoration. 8.2 Air Pollution and its Control The granite mining does not involve much dust formation. The dust would be generated during drilling, blasting, quarrying and also during handling and transportation of the

15 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan material. The dust anticipated at drilling place will be suppressed by putting cloth around the hole. Use of sharp drill pits for drilling holes and drills with water flushing systems (wet drilling) to reduce dust generation. Water spraying to be adopted at Faces/sites before and after blasting, Faces/sites while loading. Over charging of blast holes should be avoided. Personal protective equipments like nose mask and goggles etc will be provided to the workers. Regular water spraying on haul roads during transportation of mineral and waste by water sprinklers. Over loading of transport equipments should be avoided to prevent spillage. Also, measures such as covering tarpaulin over the loaded material will prevent spreading of dust particles from the trucks. Speed controls on vehicle movements to be limited speed. Wind reduction control by plantation. Over burden dump has reached the optimum size, it will covered with top soil and water will spread on top soil and grass will be developed on the dump. Limiting the height and slope of the stockpiles can also reduce wind speed. Regular checking and maintenance of vehicles should be conducted and pollution under control certificate be obtained. Periodical monitoring of ambient air quality will helps to take steps to control the pollutants. 8.3 Noise pollution and its control The major source of noise pollution is due to drilling of drill holes, machinery, Blasting and vehicular movement. Blasting operations will be carried out only during daytime so as to avoid high noise intensity in night time. Noise barriers in the form of trees are provided to attenuate the noise levels and green belt of 6m width shall be developed to mitigate propagation of noise. Protective equipment to reduce the noise levels like ear muffs and other protective devices will be provided to the staff working near noise generating sources like drill machine operators and dumper drivers. Training would be imparted to mine personnel to generate awareness about the damaging effects of noise. The transport activity shall be restricted to day time to reduce impact on habitation. The engines of the tractors shall be switched off during loading operation, and shall be periodically maintained to ensure low noise levels. Proper maintenance of the equipment will also reduce the noise. 9.0 Occupational Safety and Health Health and safety aspects of the mine will be taken care off as per the World Bank (WB) guidelines on open pit mining. The guidelines provide the detailed information on the aspects that are required to be taken into account for maintaining proper health and safety issues.

16 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan The workers continuously exposed to dust will be provided with protective devices like dust mask to prevent respiratory disorders. The workers continuously exposed to a high noise will be provided with ear muffs/ earplugs. Green belt in and around the mining area will be developed to attenuate noise and dust impact. The blasting carried out in the mine area will be carefully planned and executed under the supervision of a responsible officer, to avoid any accidents. Provisions of rest shelter for mine workers with facility of drinking water supply for the employees will be provided by the project authority. The standard of the drinking water will be per WHO guidelines. Periodical training programme to inform the employees about their task, associated risk, and safe working practices will be undertaken. Conduct of mock drill, Safe storage & handling of explosives. Training will also include information on accident prevention, proper control and maintenance of equipment and safe material handling practices. Awareness on safety and ensure using of personal protective equipments (PPE) by workers. Regular maintenance and testing of equipments will be done. A regular monitoring of the Occupational Health and Safety will reduce the chances of accidents in the mine. Records of job related accidents and illness should be maintained. This information will be reviewed and evaluated to improve the effectiveness of Environmental Health and Safety programme. Occupational Safety and Health to Control Dust Inhalation Very little dust is expected to be generated during mining and does not affect the environment. However while drilling, wet drilling will be practiced. It is a small scale mining activity and not much vehicular movement is expected. All the above precautions would be adopted to prevent dust generation at site and to be dispersed in the outside environment. However, for the safety of workers at site, engaged at the strategic locations/dust generation points like drills, loading & unloading points dust masks would be provided. Dust masks would prevent inhalation of RSPM thereby reducing the risk of lung diseases and other respiratory disorders. Regular health monitoring of workers will be carried out. 9.1 Occupational Safety and Health to Control Exposure to Noise Blasting will be done using non delay detonators to reduce vibrations, and the amount of explosive used will also be less at a time. There will not be heavy earth moving machinery

17 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan which may create some noise pollution. Thus the vibration and noise will be well controlled within permissible limits. To protect the workers from exposure to high levels of noise, following measures would be adopted:  Provision of protective devices like ear muffs/ear plugs to workers who cannot be isolated from the source of high intensity noise, e.g. blasting;  Reducing the exposure time of workers to the higher noise levels by shift management.  Smooth blasting techniques, special explosives and silent non-explosive demolishing agent will be used.  Muffed blasting and use of Milli-second detonators will help in reducing the noise pollution. 9.2 Control of Ground Vibration & Fly Rock generation In this area the applicant proposes to deploy blasting with less quantity of non-explosives. There will not be any impact on surroundings, as there are less blasting and intended to use low power explosives in this mine. It is a small scale mine and only limited No. of holes are blasted. Ground vibrations due to blasting and its impact on various mine structures, should be studied in details when the mine becomes operational, especially the charge per delay factor. General measures to reduce ground vibration & fly rocks resulting from blasting are given below:  Blasting should be carried out in the daytime, as during the night time the sound intensity becomes higher;  Blasting should not be carried out when strong winds are blowing towards the inhabited areas;  Maximum permissible charge per delay should be decided on the basis of the distance of structure to be protected from the blasting.

 The number of rows in a blast should not be more than four so that fly rock generation and ground vibration is reduced.

 Peak particle velocity or ground vibration for safety of nearby structures and residential buildings is 49 mm/sec (Standard 100 mm/sec) at 5m distance from the activity;  To contain fly rocks, stemming column should not be less than the burden of the hole,

18 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan and the blasting area should be muffled;  Each blast should be carefully planned, checked, and executed under the supervision of a responsible officer. Blasting data/observations should be recorded; and As per the mining plan, in order to ensure slope stabilization, controlled production blasting shall be adopted to avoid tension cracks and back breaks. Such cracks may get filled with water, which reduces the stability of excavated slopes and the angle of slopes. 10.0 Peak Particle Velocity The vibrations are measured as per the assessment criteria given under Bureau of Indian Standard, “IS: 6922-1973 (Reaffirmed 2003) - Criteria for Safety and Design of Structures Subject to Underground Blasts”. Per the assessment criteria, the value of ground particle velocity may be computed from the following expression: V = K1 [Q2/3/R] 1.25 Where V = Particle velocity in mm/sec K1 = Constant which may be normally taken as 880 for soil, weathered or soft rock and 1400 for hard rock. Q = Charge per delay (kg), and R = Distance (m) from blast point Based on the above equation, the ground particle velocities at different distances (2.5 m, 5 m, 10 m, 20 m, 40 m, 70 m, 100 m, 150 m and 200 m) are calculated considering K1 as 880 for soft rocks and 1400 for hard rocks. As per the Standard, for safety of structures from threshold damage, the ground particle velocity should not exceed the following: Soil, Weathered or Soft rock 70 mm/sec Hard Rock 100 mm/sec The results are presented in the Table 7 below for the maximum charge Table 7 Peak Particle Velocity (V) S. No Constant Charge Per Peak Particle Velocity (V) mm/second (K1) Delay Distance from the Blasting (R in meters) 2.5 5 10 20 40 70 100 150 200 1 880 Q= 0.2Kg 73.2 30.8 12.9 5.4 2.3 1.1 0.7 0.4 0.3 2 1400 Q= 0.2Kg 116.5 49.0 20.6 8.7 3.6 1.8 1.2 0.7 0.5

19 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan It is estimated that with Q = 0.2 kg charge per delay shall result in particle velocity of 73.2 mm/sec in soft rock within a distance of 2.5 m, while in the hard rock the particle velocity is 116.5 mm/sec shall be within 2.5 m. There shall not be any structure with in 2.5 m of the quarry area, and it may be, concluded that the ground vibrations generated by blasting during the mining operations will not likely to effect the structures proposed in the vicinity of > 2.5 m from the point of blast. However the structures are proposed to locate 5m distance from the quarry activity. Concrete structures like office, store etc should not be proposed within the core mine area. These structures otherwise will be affected by the ground vibrations. 11.0 Water Quality Management There is no chemical discharge either from the quarry or from the processing quarry, there will not be water pollution. The proposed quarry workings will not touch the ground water aquifer. Quarrying Operations will be carried out on the slope of the Rocky terrain. The ground water level in this area is 25m BGL and the quarrying will be done on above the surface level. Maximum depth of the quarry will be 12m BGL from top of the hill which is about 18m height from ground level, flooding by ground water is not anticipated. Hence neither ground water table nor the general surface drainage pattern is not affected, hence there will not be water pollution. There will be no change in quality of water. However during rainy months, there is a possibility of wet conditions developing in the working pit this will be minimized, if not altogether eliminated, by adopting simple techniques like digging trenches all round to drain off rainwater and preventing surface run off from entering and flooding working pit. The water from the pits will be pumped by deploying suitable pumps, if and when required, the mine drainage can be effectively managed and the pit kept dry to keep up the production schedule. 11.1 Wastewater generation and treatment In this area water table is at greater depth of 25m BGL and the workings are carried out on top of the hill which is at 18m height. There are no wells or springs in the area. Hence there will not be adverse effect on ground water due to quarrying. The source of wastewater generation from domestic sources is expected to be approximately 0.7 KLD, which will be sent to septic tank followed by soak pit.

20 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan 11.2 Water Management Following measures will be adopted to mitigate the impact on the water resources:  The blasting activities will have to take care on the sinkholes, cracks and fissures in the site activities.  During excavation and drilling activities effort must be taken to avoid face collapse at these cracks and fissures.  To prevent surface water contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers shall be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease. The floors of oil/grease handling area will be kept effectively impervious.  To prevent degradation and maintain the water quality during rainy season, adequate control measures should be adopted to check the mine run-off into the natural streams. 11.3 Garland drain and siltation pond A catchment area treatment plan has been developed keeping in mind the results of the hydrology/ hydrogeology of the area and the climate data. As there are no perennial water sources running on or through the site, the mine water discharge is limited to the monsoon season only. To keep water from entering the mine during this period, a garland drain will be developed along the mine’s top bench, which will bend to guide the water to the nearest natural surface drain. Garland drain of 110m L x 2m W x 1m D will be constructed. In terms of water quality, good mining practices are planned, additionally the natural state of surrounding areas, should ensure that rain water run-off from the mine does not contain any toxic elements. As the site has no overburden, potential discharge of sediments is quite limited and any residual particles which are washed down will be captured by a sump located at the lowest bench. The sump will be cleaned regularly and discharge water monitored consistently. If required, based on monitoring, an additional catch pit can be located at the main garland drain. The sump proposed in the bottom bench will be designed based on the peak discharge and will be expanded over a period of time to accommodate the increasing quantum of water discharge. Presently, the capacity of the sump is designed to hold the entire quantum of peak discharge water. The garland drain shall be provided surrounding the mine area.

21 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan Garland drain and siltation pond need to be constructed of appropriate size to arrest silt and sediment flows from soil and mineral dumps. The water so collected will be utilized for watering the mine area, roads, green belt development etc. The drain should be regularly desilted and maintained. The garland drain (size, gradient and length) and sump capacity will be designed keeping 50% safety margin over and above the peak sudden rainfall and maximum discharge in the area adjoining the mine site. Sump capacity should also provide adequate retention period to provide proper settling of silt material. The surface water around the mine, and infrastructure will be regularly tested and appropriate control measures adopted in case of any pollutant is detected above the prescribed limits. 12.0 Waste Management plan During five years operations a total rock mass of 28800 m3 will be excavated and 5185 m3 of granite blocks will be recoverable from this rock mass and remaining material of about 23615 m3 will go as mineral waste. There is no much overburden on the deposit. Boulders are exposed on top of the colour granite. 13.0 Dump Area Dumping of waste will be stocked in eastern side of the Q.L area with a size of 60m X 50m length and width to a height of 30m. During the five years about 23615 m3 of waste material will be generated. Step dumping will be resorted. This material can be utilized to fill the pits after quarry operations are over. When the dumps reach their optimum height suitable greenery will be grown on these dumps to stabilize them. 13.1 Land Management Land degradation is one of the major adverse impacts of opencast mining in the form of excavated voids and also in the form of waste dumps. Land reclamation plan must, therefore, be implemented simultaneously with the mining activities. 13.1.1 Mine closure and Land Reclamation It is a small scale of semi mechanized open cast mining with semi-permanent structures, the structures will be removed after completion of mine workings. Erection of fencing around the working pits and cleaning of waste dump area by backfilling the waste in worked out pits and development of plantation to get its original profile. However, due to open quarry some land surface may be disturbed. Reclamation and rehabilitation of the lands affected by quarrying

22 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan will be done by back filling, soil amelioration and afforestation. Back filling of the pits with waste material will starts from south side of the proposed workings and proceeds towards north side after completion of ten years period. Every year an area of 500 m2 with an average depth of 10m is proposed for backfilling, hence the quantity of waste can backfill is 5000 m3 in every year. Drainage will be developed along the slopes of the hillock. Reclamation of the effected land includes back filling, Drainage development, spreading and fertilization of soil, leveling and vegetation etc., Care will be taken to implement the said factors. The cost estimated for the closure of mine is approximately Rs. 2, 00,000 under rule 23(F) of MCDR. 13.1.2 Soil Conservation Measures The proposed area is a small hillock in the form of boulders and sheet rock. In quality, the soil existing in the area is hard and unfertile. Therefore, the growth of trees and plants is uncertain and not satisfactory. Hence, in this area few small plants and thorny trees are grown here. Except this, no big trees are seen in this area. Top soil if any generated will be properly stacked at earmarked dump site with adequate measures and the same will be used for reclamation and rehabilitation of the mined out areas. To prevent soil erosion and wash- off of dump-fines from freshly excavated benches and dumps following measures shall be adopted: • Garland drains will be provided around the mine wherever required to arrest any soil from the mine area being carried away by the rain water; • Toe drains with suitable baffles will be provided all along the toe of the soil dumps to arrest any soil from the dump slopes being carried away by the rain water; • Loose material slopes will be covered by mineation by making contour trenches at 3-5 m interval to check soil erosion both due to wind and rain; • Retaining walls (concrete or local stone) will be provided, around the stockpile or wherever required, to support the benches or any loose material as well as to arrest sliding of loose debris. 14.0 House Keeping Proper housekeeping and cleanliness will be maintained in the infrastructure facilities. Wet mopping will be adopted to conserve water. Sign boards will be provided in the work areas and the road and building highlighting the safety and occupational aspects.

23 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan 15.0 Transport Systems Major road access is Adoni bypass road at 0.53 km in West direction from the QL area. Cart track is available and it needs to develop. The nearest town and railway station is Adoni at a distance of 2.2km from the QL area in West direction. The finished product and waste material is transported by road using trucks of 17 Tons capacity. The number of trips will be approximately 2 per day for transportation of mineral and the trucks are covered with tarpaulin. The lessee will deploy 3 tippers to transport the finished product, waste blocks, unfinished and finished blocks from quarry site to yard and trucks to transport sized dimensional blocks from yard to destination. Cranes will do the loading of blocks. The materials while transporting do not pose any hazard. Sufficient parking facilities will be provided for vehicles loading and unloading of material. Safety signs will be displayed inside and outside the mine to avoid road accidents. 16.0 Greenbelt Development Environmental greening program is an important component of the Environment Management Plan and is an imperative requirement for sink of air pollutants including noise as per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment, forests and Climate Change, Govt. of India. Conceptualization, design and implementation of the proposed activity, taking into account the specific requirement of the proposed mining activity and the site conditions are presented. Green cover in mining area not only help in reducing pollution level, but also improves the ecological conditions and prevent soil erosion to great extent. It further improves the aesthetics and beneficially influences the microclimate of the surrounding. In every year about 50 m length of buffer zone will be planted along the boundary on west and North side of the area. About 33 Saplings consisting of Neem, Dirisena, Peddamanu, Nalla maddi and Teak will be planted per year over an area of 50m x 7.5m at 3m grid interval around the lease boundary and along the side of connecting roads about 60 saplings with 2m interval will be developed to reduce the dust emission. The environmental greening program as designed comprises the location and development of a shelterbelt and plantation in about 0.2 Hectares. The shelterbelt will contain species, which act as windbreakers so that the environment within the mine is contained; the planting of different species in rows is envisaged in general in the greenbelt. A dedicated cell in the mine should be established for post plantation care, which include, regular watering, manuring, protective measures etc. Diseased and dead plants should be uprooted and replaced by fresh saplings. Regular monitoring on survival rate and remedial action should be done in an organized and

24 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Dhanunjay Manjunath Amin – Colour Granite Environment Management Plan planned manner. The list of plant species identified for greenbelt development is presented in table 8. Table 8 Suggested plants for greenbelt development Botanical name Local name Importance Ailanthus excelsa Peddamaanu Tree borne oil Albizia lebbeck Dirisana Shade, timber and scented flowers Sapindus emarginatus Kunkudu Medicinal and shampoo products MangiferaIndica Mango Edible fruit Azadirachta indica Vepa or Neem Neem oil and neem products Pongamia Pinnata Gaanuga Bio diesel and wood Tectona grandis Teak Timber wood The above list of plants/trees observed within the surrounding area. Hence these are proposed for plantation. 17.0 Socio-economic Environment The project provides an opportunity for the local people to get employment directly or indirectly and helps in the upliftment of the socioeconomic status of the area. The proposed project would generate an employment of 26. The local inhabitants of the area live in the villages surrounding the mine area and their main occupation is Agriculture. In a small way they rear cattle and sheep for sustenance. The mining activity in this belt will benefit the locals both directly and indirectly. The direct beneficiaries will be those who get employed in the mines as skilled and un-skilled workers. The indirect beneficiaries will be those who open small business to sell goods required by the residents whose “Per Capita” income will be enhanced by the mining activity, and thereby their purchasing power. In the long run a lot of social good is expected in the comparatively backward area when the inhabitants will be able to send their children to school. The change, though slow, is bound to be perceptible. The management will involve in social activities of surrounding community by planning the betterment of neighboring social conditions through awareness and welfare programs to ensure an improved relation, useful in the long run. Many of the beneficiaries of such programs will include own employees as well. It is proposed to supply drinking water and medical facilities to the villagers and also participate in the local village development activities like construction of toilets in school and etc. The management will also support for vocational training and assistance in utilizing government programs. Another important facet of social environment identified by the project proponents is a green appearance; hence the management will develop a green belt towards aesthetic beautification as the same is necessary to be considered as a responsible, social neighbour.
