8.TOPOGRAPHY Part of the proposed land is already under mining and there is no vegetation in the area. The remaining land in the proposed land is mostly covered with native trees, shrubs,herbs,grass. Bushes etc. The highest elevation of the Permit area is 105 MSL and lowest is 54 above MSL and the area being hill rock, the drainage of the Permit area is towards West to east. No habitants are located in the Permit area.

Normally the mine will be closed during rainy season, however in case ofnecessity,accumulated rainy water (free from suspended solid material) from the pit bottom may be pumped out and may spilled over adjoining area,which may be

15 used by native plants such as rubber/coconut and the same shall be used for watering saplings /trees in the plantation side.

Existing Land Use Pattern:-

Existing Land use pattern has been described for land use in Permit area, core zone and buffer zone separately.

Land Use in Permit Area:-

The land in the Permit area is private owned land. Part of the proposed land is already under mining and there is no vegetation in that area. The remaining land in the proposed land is mostly covered with grass, herbs,bushes etc.

Land Use in Core Zone:-

The land in core zone i.e. 500m around is generally hillock and rubber,jackfruit and coconut plantation. The other rocky area is used for mining. In addition to above ,there are several houses within 500m radius from the proposed quarry and the nearest house is located at outside the 100m of the mine boundary. Area is covered with different types of grass, bushes and forest trees. The density of vegetation is about 30%.

Land Use in Buffer Zone:-

Area around the Permit area within a radius of 10km is dominated by hillocks and valleys and more coconut/rubber & mixed plantation and water body is flowing far away from the mine boundary .

In addition to the above ,there are villages, Panchayat roads, perennial water body,power transmission lines and telephone lines etc.&Development plan. The future proposed reclamation is by suitably sloping the quarry benchesattheendofquarryPermitperiodofthequarryand byway ofafforestationonthe dumps and open places outsidetheworking and Permit areas.

Present Land Use Pattern:-

Sr.No Particulars Areain Ha.

1 Road 0.0480Ha

Total 0.9998Ha

9.ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING:-

An environment protection cum afforestation cell has been proposed . It will be responsible for implementing the proposed measures and monitor the progress of the implementation and reinforce them wherever necessary.

Land Use Management:-

Top Soil Management The top soil in the Permit area is about 5,450M3, which will be removed during mining operation and dumped separately at a predetermined place and subsequently will be utilized in spreading over reclaimed areas for plantation. Precaution shall be taken to limit the height of the top soil dump to 5 to 6meters in order to preserve its fertility and shelf life. It will be suitably protected from soil erosion and infertility by planting fodder grass and leguminous plants during temporary storage.

Overburden Management

About 11,250 MT ofoverburden(OB) will be generated throughout the mine life. The overburden removed during the mining operation will be utilized in management of roads and low spot fillings. At the end use overburden if any shall be reutilized as soil base for plantation.

End Land Use Plan

As a result of phase wise working of the pit, area will be reclaimed at the end of mining operation leaving no void.

Management of Mining Environment Degradation( General):-

Control measures will be taken to abate the deteriorating impact on environment and improving the same. For effective management of this , a few persons will be exclusively provided who will be responsible for implementing the control measures and to monitor the progress of implementation of these measures in order to minimize environmental degradation.

Solid Waste Management:-

The mine waste and other are proposed to be stacked in the dump area specially provided for the purpose. Care has been taken in selecting the site for the stacking yards for the stacking purpose. It is located in a secure place and having solid base and on a non-used zone.

These dump yards have been protected by toe walls which will be constructed during the first year period. The height of these dumps will be restricted and benched .A retaining wall of 0.5m x 1.0m will be made on the low altitude side of the dump.

Monitoring of Air Borne Dust:-

Silica dust in very fine form is harmful to human beings. It is also known that dust between 0.2 to 5 microns is harmful to the lungs. Prolonged inhalation of fine dust leads to the decease of the lungs known as silicosis. Thus it is very important to know the dust concentration in the air where there is mining activity.

Vegetation cover will restrict the spread of dust in surrounding area. The bushes and scrubs will also act as barriers for arresting spread of dust .In the mine ,dust is generated mostly due to plying of trucks/tractor .Air borne dust generated by plying of trucks and crusher can be considerably reduced bysprinkling water on the roads and providing of enclosures around the screens of crushers to arrest the dust.

A tanker of 1000 litres capacity shall be deployed for this purpose on hire or on contract basis.

Management of Noise Problem:-

Source of noise pollution have already been dealt.

To reduce the noise caused by machineries and equipments at the mine, mufflers of adequate size and capacity shall be provided with equipments at the mine. Vehicles are the chief sources of noise pollution in the mine.

Based on the ILO practice ,in Directorate General of Mines Safety circularno-158 (Tech.)of 1975, noise standards have been recommended. According to this, there is a warning limit value of 85db(A)by which the danger of hearing impairment and deafness may result from unprotected ear.

Personal protective equipment have to be used if there are single isolated out bursts of noise which can go above 130db(A) impulse or 120 db (A). Noise from trucks can be reduced by using mufflers of adequate size and strength and better maintenance of the equipments.

Noise will not be the problem as the mining has been proposed by semi- mechanized open cast method.

Management of Ground Vibrations:-

Controlled blasting shall be carried out during mining operations to reduce the noise and vibrations. Muffle blasting technology also shall be adopted and blasting will be carried in odd and defined hours.

There are no human settlements or structure in the core zone or in the vicinity of the buffer zone. The above measures should be enough to achieve result.

Management of Land Slide :-

The final pit slope is kept at not steeper than 45 degrees which is not likely to cause any problem in respect of slope stability and also the strata being hard .Thus there is no likelyhood of any land slide at any stage in future.

Management of Human Settlement Problem:-

The mining activity will be confined to remote area away from the villages. No population will be affected by such mining activities . As such the question of rehabilitation of the people displaced by mining operations does not arise.

Management of Wild Life Habitate:-

No specific management is proposed because there is no wildlife , sanctuary etc. within and around the mining area.

Management of Flora:-

Existing Flora shall be improved by plantation of trees.

Management of overburden:-

Top overburden if any will be stored in the non used zone and shall be sold out as per the market and local demand.

Management of Cropping pattern:-

No management is specifically being proposed because of no apparent adverse impact on cropping pattern due to mining operation.

Management of Places of Tourist Importance:-

Since there is no place of tourist interest in the area, therefore no management has been proposed and hence not applicable.

Management of Water Course s , springs Etc .

There are no water body and springs in and around the the area ,therefore is not applicable.

Management of Socio-Economic Problems:- There will be positive impact on socio-economic conditions of the area due to mining . Locals will be given preference in the matters of employment.

Management for Climate Improvement:-

Proposed Plantation will improve present climatic conditions. This will be continuously monitored by environment management cell.

10.PROGRAMME FOR AFFORESTATION:-

The yearwise programme of eco-restoration for the life of the mine, about 1070 trees will be planted in an area of 0.9998Ha.

Biological reclamation/ecological restoration of the mined area by plantation of the species as per the time schedule is suggested .Selection of species is based on the high Dust capturing, soil holding capacity, ground water recharge capacity etc.

Afforestation will be carried out along the boundary of the Permit to improve the environment and the ecology and to increase the green cover and create harmony with nature. The area will be afforested with variety of local sapling. This will help to have polyculture. The details of afforestation programme are given below.
