Geological reserves 291261m³ for Rough stone 3. Total waste The wastes are generated during the mining period is 7650m3 shall be proposed to Dumping the West & Southern side of the 7.5m boundary barrier of the lease area. Proposed Dump Dimensions: 150.0m(L) X 7.5m(W) X 6.8m(H) 4. Method of Mining: Opencast Shallow mining with drilling & blasting. 5. Main mining equipment Hydraulic excavator, jack hammers, Tippers, 6. Bench height & Slope Bench height of 6m and bench width of 5m is proposed for Rough Stone. 7. Life of mine 13771m³ /Year for Rough stone. Total Mineable reserves are 76506m³. Life of the Mine = 76506m3 / 13771m³ = 5.5 years. 8. Man power 18 including managerial staff 9. Water Requirement & source 2.5 KLD will be met from the bore well within the ML area or through tankers. Drinking & Domestic 0.750 KLD Purposes (in KLD) Dust Suppression (in KLD) 1.500 KLD Green belt (in KLD) 0.250 KLD Total 2.500 KLD 10. Infrastructure Mine office, store room, toilet, first-aid room and, magazine will be provided on semi- permanent structures with the lease area. Portable drinking water can be transported to the work site in tippers or can be at from bore well. 11. Use of Rough Stone & Gravel Rough stone are used mainly in construction industries. 12. Environmental status Being a small mine, impact of mining on environment will be negligible. The mining operation will provide more employment to the rural people and environment friendly operations. DISPOSAL OF WASTE: The wastes (10%) are generated during the mining period is 7650m3 shall be proposed to Dumping the West & Southern side of 7.5m boundary barrier of the lease area. Year Waste I 2029 II 1210 554 134 III 972 IV 972 V 1128 514 137 TOTAL 7650 2.3 LAND USE PATTERN: The area is a rural area. Rough Stone exposes in the lease area and it is strewn with boulders of various sizes ranging from a few cm to one to half meter in diameter. The terrain is almost flat and it is cover with charnackite. Except some small bushes there are no other trees in the applied area. Depth of mining is taken as 26m from the surface. Leaving the Topsoil and weather rock, the thickness of Rough Stone considered now for economical extraction is 24m. Since there is mineral occurrence below this depth also, mining activity may continue in future below this depth. As such no backfilling of mined out void is suggested now. The post mining land use plan/ Conceptual plan along with cross section is shown as mining plan. 3.1. SITE ANALYSIS:ee 3.2. CONNECTIVITY: COIMBATORE– KINATHUKADAVU= 22.0km KINATHUKADAVU – SOKKANUR = 8.0Km Quarry site is located in Southern side at a distance of 3.0Km. 3.3. PROJECT LATOUT IN RELATION TO PRIME NATURAL FEATURES: There is no declared biosphere, wild life Sanctuaries, or tiger Sanctuary or migrating corridor or Coastal Zone in the Zone and 10km suffer zone. As already mentioned, the entire mine lease area is Consent Patta Land is some others possession and all other Owners are given consent .There are no habitation or other structures like HT electric lines in the lease area. No Water bodies around 500m radius. 4.1. PLANNING CONCEPT: Rough Stone mined from this quarry will meet the domestic and export demands. The production and method of mining is planned considering the geological factors, availability of proven technology, demand for the material etc. Safety barriers as per State Government order is left in the planning stage itself. 4.2. GREENBELT: Green belt will be developed in the safety zone area etc, and at all possible places. Local species will be used for plantation. 5.1 REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN: The Consent Patta Land S.F.No. 790/1B & 792/1(P). There are no human habitations also. As such no rehabilitation and resettlement plan is involved. 6.1. PROJECT SCHEDULE AND COST ESTIMATES: As soon as environmental clearance and other statutory clearance are obtained, the mining operations will be commenced The project cost would be around Rs. 29,50,000/- for deployment of machinery and creation of infrastructural facilities like approach road, Mine Office / Workers Shed, first Aid Room etc., Including electrifications and water supply. 7.1 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATION) The proposed Rough Stone of THIRU. N. GOPAL Rough Stone will bring prosperity and improvements in physical and social infrastructures in the area like Direct employment to about 18 persons Indirect employment to more than 100 persons Financial gains for the state and central governments, through collection of various taxes like Royalty, cess, etc. Increase in General Awareness of the People Improvement of the General Living Standard of the people in the vicinity Overall Improvement in HDI (Human Development Index) Growth of Allied Industries in the Area. Reduction in migration of local people and at the same time increase in Inflow from outside. Improvement in Per Capital Income. Providing certain faculties‟ for the local schools and panchayats In short, the working mining project will region in the fields of potential employment opportunities, improved per capita for local people , improved social welfare facilities like infrastructural build – up , etc. A meticulously well planned Environmental Management Plan, with various programme schedules and timely execution objectives will ensure that the future environmental quality in the area will be maintained within statutory limits.
