Granite( Building Stone) Quarry of A. Mohammed Basheer, at Nellanad Village, Nedumangadu Taluk, Thiruvananthapuram District – Extent 0.7692 Ha PRE-FEASIBILTY REPORT 1.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE MINING ACTIVITY Mr A. Mohammed Basheer has applied for the grant of Granite (Building Stone) Quarry extent over an area of 0.7692 Ha, in survey nos: 76/8, 76/9, 70/17pt & 70/1-1 of Nellanad Village, Nedumangadu Taluk, Thiruvananthapuram District. The proposed quarry area is privately owned rocky land. This is an operational quarry with Quarrying permit. In most parts of the quarry permit area the rock are exposed and also the granite (building stone) exposures are present / bordering to the permit boundary proving the occurrence of the Granite (Building Stone). The proposed quarry area is located at Nellanad, and lies towards north of Venjaramoodu at a distance of 3km apprx. And also lies towards SSE of Vamanapuram town at a distance of 1.60km apprx. Nedumangadu is the Taluk headquarters and is at a distance of 16kms and Thiruvananthapuram is the district and state headquarters which is at a distance of 25km apprx, where all the infrastructural facilities are available. The highest elevation of the permit area is 135m MSL and lowest is 120m MSL. The part of the permit area is broken up and there is no vegetation within broken up area and there is a moderate vegetation balance in one part of the permit area and also the surrounding of the permit area. There are no perennial water courses/ water bodies within the permit hold . The storm water passes through the minor water courses and get confluence with the adjacent nallah. The geological resources of Granite (Building Stone) in mining permit area are estimated to be 2,25,614 tonnes, only 1,27,657 tonnes of reserve can be exploited/ mineable, while the balance of 97,957 tonnes of reserve is getting blocked which cannot be mined due to the boundary constraints . Hence for all practical purpose (for production and future planning) only Mineable reserve are considered. Kerala experiences rainfall in duration of 3 t o 4 months in a Granite( Building Stone) Quarry of A. Mohammed Basheer, at Nellanad Village, Nedumangadu Taluk, Thiruvananthapuram District – Extent 0.7692 Ha year and that is why the quarry operations will be affected by these rainy days. The anticipated life of the quarry is 4 years expected. 1.1 LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT The proposed quarry area is located at Nellanad, and lies towards north of Venjaramoodu at a distance of 3km apprx. And also lies towards SSE of Vamanapuram town at a distance of 1.60km apprx. Nedumangadu is the Taluk headquarters and is at a distance of 16kms and Thiruvananthapuram is the district and state headquarters which is at a distance of 25km apprx, where all the infrastructural facilities are available. The geographical location with respect to boundary pillars of the proposed mine permit are:- Latitude (N) N8⁰42’32.70’’ to N8⁰42’37.29’’ Longitude(E) E76⁰54’18.55’’to E76⁰54’23.72’’ The route map and vicinity map showing location of the permit area is given below:- The Google map showing location of the permit area is given below:- Granite( Building Stone) Quarry of A.

Mohammed Basheer, at Nellanad Village, Nedumangadu Taluk, Thiruvananthapuram District – Extent 0.7692 Ha 1.2PROJECT PROPONENT INFORMATION Name and address : Mr. A. Mohammed Basheer Thempakala, Venjaramoodu P.O, of the Applicant Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala – 695 607. Mobile no: 9846 705 490 Email:[email protected] 1.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY OR REGION The major essentiality of building stone is based on its extraordinary compressive strength and durability (among the hardest, dimensional & structural stones) and it is having high tolerance towards the vagaries of nature. In construction activities these are being used because of its hardness & density, durability and strength craft. The proposed mining project will accomplish its requirement for the construction of buildings, bridges, paving, monuments and many other exterior projects. Polished slabs and tiles are usually used in countertops, flooring, retaining walls and landscaping around a center fountain/ pond, staircase and many other design elements (residential and commercial applications). It is also known as the maintenance-free stone. The employment opportunities are being created in connecting with the quarrying activities and the local people are being employed for the non technical activities under the direction of mining engineers and supervisors. For the quarry operations, more than 20 employees are being deployed which generates ample opportunities for those people directly and indirectly. Applicant will pay royalty for the mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect taxes will be paid thereby contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue will further be put for infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education and social welfare. 1.4 END USE (DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKET) The rock extracted from the quarry is transp orted to the Neenu Crusher units which is located at Pullampara, 9km away from the proposed permit area. The aggregate produced is sold to the contractors and to the consumers which is finally consumed for road (State Highway & National Highway) & building Granite( Building Stone) Quarry of A.
