Respected Sir,

This refers to the application submitted for obtaining Environmental Clearance for proposed building stone quarry at Njeezhoor Village, Vaikom Taluk, Kottayam District, Kerala. A field inspection was carried out by DEAC. Subsequently, a meeting of DEAC was held on 28-07-2017. From the minutes of the meeting, it is observed that the committee raised a concern regarding the existence of a building which is located at a distance of about 30m from the mining area. It may be noted that the said building is not used for residential purposes and it is only used as store room to keep the equipments related to the quarry. To establish this fact, we hereby submit the following documents for your kind consideration.

(1) An affidavit stating that the said building is used as a store room is attached as Annexure No. 1.

(2) The project proponent has been paying commercial tax for said building. The latest copy of commercial tax receipt is attached as Annexure No. 2.

(3) This building structure falls within 100 meters from the proposed project site and the same is marked in the survey map which is duly signed by village officer and Tahsildar. It may be noted that in the said sketch, there is no mention about residential house instead, it is marked as a building. The survey map is attached as Annexure No. 3.

The application of the proposed project site is uploaded again in the online portal of Kottaym District on 10 / 10 / 2017.

In view of above submissions, I humbly request you to accord Environmental clearance to my quarry project at the earliest.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully,

Place : Kottayam
