INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION: I. Identification of project and project proponent. In case of Mining project, a copy of mining lease/ letter of intent should be given. Grey Granite Quarry is located in Survey No. Survey No. 21/3 of Parasapura Village, Kushtagi Taluk, Koppal District Karnataka state over an extent of 2.0 Acres 20 Gunta.The applied area is notified vide letter No.DMG/KMD/SQ-Patta-51/2018-19/546 Dated: 08.06.2018. The copy of the notification is enclosed as Annexure-V. Name & address of lessee : Sri. Mohiudeen Basha K. Hunachagi & S/o. Khaja hussain sab, Registered Office Hospet Galli, Ward No.4, KEB Road, Ilakal Taluk, Bagalkot District Mobile:+91 9448342921 II. Brief description of nature of the project This is the new grey granite quarry and quarrying operations shall be carried out in a systematic and scientific way. The proposal is made for the open cast quarrying. Drilling shall be done by jack hammer. Excavator, Crane & tippers shall be used for loading& transportation. The maximum production from this area shall be 3,071m3of granite.The proposal is made for the opencast Quarrying by other than fully mechanized method. It is proposed to produce maximum 3,071m3 granite from this quarrying in the III-year of plan period. The quarry is planned out in such a way by talking advantage of the geological structures especially the major sets of joints. The height of the bench shall be maintained to 6mt with the width of 6mt. The bench slope shall be maintained to 450. Initially drilling by pneumatic jack hammers (hole diameter-33mm) shall be done at appropriate intervals (20-30 cms) to the desired depth. Smooth blasting is effected by using gun powder. The loose joints can be split by feather and wedges. If the joints are tight, as we go deep, the methodology will change accordingly. III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. Mining for extraction of granite is one of the important economic activity contribute to the State Revenue of Karnataka. The mining activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local populace with direct & indirect employment opportunities. The regional benefits to the ..3 Sri. Mohiudeen Basha K. Hunachagi Pre-feasibility Report state in the form of Royalty, DMF, Cess, Taxes etc. In addition to this local people will get employment and transportation facilities. IV. Demand-Supply Gap. The demand for grey granites increasing along with the increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Karnataka and also in abroad. This quarry can produce max 3,071m3 of granite annually for the infrastructure & construction industry in Karnataka. V. Imports Vs Indigenous production There is a good demand of grey granite for export as well as for local industry. VI. Export possibility. There is a good export market for grey granite. VII. Domestic/Export markets. The grey granite also exported as well as consume locally for slab making etc., VIII.Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project. As per the requirement of Mines Act and MCDR 1980, Mining Engineer/Mines Foreman shall be appointed to supervise the quarrying operations. The list of the staff and workmen those shall be employed in the quarry is given below. Sl. No Particulars No’s 1 Highly Skilled 3 2 Skilled 5 3 Semi-skilled 4 4 Un-skilled 10 Total 22 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. The grey granite produced from quarry shall be transported to the polishing industries at Kushtagi. The generated granite blocks shall be transported to the polishing industries for cutting and making the required sizes of tiles, blocks etc., and this project is interlinked with polishing industries. The generated blocks may not sold to the consumers without polishing the blocks. [ ..4 Sri. Mohiudeen Basha K. Hunachagi Pre-feasibility Report (ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout) with Co-ordinates. The Grey Granite Quarry area over an extent of 2.0 Acres20Gunta is located in Survey No 21/3in of Parasapura Village, Kushtagi Taluk, Koppal District Karnataka. The location of the same is shown in Plate No.1. The latitude & longitude of the area is given below. Latitude N15046’58.3” to N15047’04.01” Longitude E 76003’55.45” to E 76003’57.8” (iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted. Grey Granite quarry leases are site specific. Hence there is no alternative suitable area available for quarrying. However the area is located in granite Zone of Koppal Dist. (iv) Size or magnitude of operation. Medium scale operation. (v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given). Type of Mining: Open cast method of quarrying is carried out in this quarry by manually and semi mechanization by using compressor operated jack hammer drills, excavators, Cranes and dumper etc, , Transportation will be made by trucks to dispatching point. Close spaced drilling of 0.2m was adopted along a straight line and charged with low explosives to avoid feather cracks. 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.
