2.0 INTRODUCTIONOFTHEPROJECT/BACKGROUNDINFORMATION

2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent The proposed project area is found to have good deposits of Road metal. It is used in infrastructure development.

2.2 Brief Information about the Project The mining lease area of 1.108 Ha., is located in Non-forest, Government land. Open cast mining is followed and it has been proposed to produce approximately 7,040 cu. m./annum of Road Metal. The nearest habitation is Kondakavur Village located at a distance of 2.0 Km due NW of Quarry Lease.

2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region The demand for Road Metal has increased due to rapid industrialization and growth in infrastructure. So the number of Road Metal producing quarries is increasing in . Due to bifurcation of State, there is a huge demand for Road Metal.

As per EIA notification 2006 project proponent is submitting the proposal to get Environment Clearance for QL area of 1.108 Ha. from District Level Environmental Appraisal Committee/District level Impact Assessment Authority of Guntur constituted by MoEF, GOI for the purpose of operating the quarry lease for which Notification is issued.

2.4 Demands-Supply Gap There is huge demand since the material is used extensively in building construction infrastructure development. This project will help in reducing the Demand-Supply gap in the area.

2.5 Domestic/Export Markets The material is used in the domestic market and in there is no scope for exporting the material.

2.6 Employment Generation Proposed mining is semi-mechanized method and this project operation will provide livelihood to the 10 workers. It will provide employment to the people residing in vicinity.

3.5 Geology and Reserves

3.5.1 Regional Geological setup

The area is underline by various geological formations of different age groups ranging from archaean to recent. The granite-geeises, schists, Khondalites,charnockites and basic dykes of dolerites from the predominant rock types in the central part . the fringe of the archeans in the central prt is represented by cuddapah basin, namely nallamalai group of upper cuddapahs. In a sequentials order thev younger kurnools occurring in the cuddapahs and those in the western parts of district are thrust over by the cuddapahs and these in turn by the archean granite –gneises. The upper gondwana group of sand stones and shales out crop are seen at places between Guntur and . the youngest rock types of the district appear to be of mio-piloscene age followed by the alluvial

3.5.2 Local Geology The gravel occurs as the sloping hillock. It contains granite - gneisses, and Schists. The generalized lithological succession of the area is

• Soil Resent

• Granite – gneises }

• Schists, Khondalites, charnockites } Archaen

• Basement rock not encountered

One distinct litho - stratographic unit constitute the subject area is Road Metal. No other minerals or rock units are seen in this area. The Schist is predominantly distributed in the most of the mine lease area. Road metal is exposed along the mine working in the quarry. Road Metal occurring in this area is grey in colour on the surface.

3.5.3 Exploration Road metal quarries as the lease area is located on undulating land with surface relief of 35 m. The Road Metals found to be normal in that area, the deposit is being worked out to an maximum depth of 70 m only.

3.5.4 Reserves Reserves of Road metal are estimated by Cross Sectional Area method. One cross section was drawn in the lease area and the summary of reserves are given in the below table:

Mineable reserves are calculated by deducting the reserves blocked under benches and reserves blocked in 7.5 m buffer zone from the total geological reserves. Only proved reserves were considered for calculating the mineable reserves. The details of reserves blocked under benches & safety/buffer zone are given in table below:

A. Total Proved Geological Reserves (m3) : 267724

B. Reserves Blocked under benches (m3) : 34948

C. Reserves Blocked under 7.5m Buffer Zone (m3) : 600

Mineable Reserves (A-(B+C)) (m3) : 233376

Average Annual Production : 7040

Life of the Mine : 33 Years

100% recovery of the Road metal is considered from the quarry.

3.6 PROJECTDESCRIPTIONWITHPROCESSDETAILS

3.6.1 Method of Mining

Mining of Road Metal in the area shall be accomplished by conventional open cast, mechanized method of working.

The following mining parameters are proposed:

Type of working : Opencast, Mechanized Bench height : 6.0m Bench width : 3.0m Bench face angle : 70° to 90° Overall pit slope : 45° (at the UPL)

Drilling The drilling of holes is being done by 115 mm drill machine

M/s. Manjunadha Stone Crusher Pre-Feasibility Report Kondakavur Village, Narasaraopet Mandal, Guntur Dt., It is proposed to produce 21120 Cu. m. of Road Metal during five years plan period with an average annual production of 7040 Cu. m. from an area of 480 m3. Benches of 6 m height and 3 m width will be developed during the plan period in depth of previous year workings successively.

The lease proposes to take up quarrying operations in entire quarry lease area. The excavation activity will be taken up in Eastern side of the quarry lease area and then continue moves towards Western side.

a)Removal / Excavation of O.B. and other Quarry Waste: No Waste is generated in Road Metal quarry.

3.7 Raw Material Required Along With Estimated Quantity, Likely Source, Marketing Area of Final Product/S, Mode of Transport of Raw Material and Finished Product No raw material will be required in the proposed project. The operation involves the extraction of Road Metal and dumping in stock yard.

3.7.1 Use of Mineral Road metal from subject mine which can be used to lay beds for roads and foundations; used on pathways and in ornamental gardens. Smaller stones as well as lower-quality stones can also be used in cement and road blacktop applications as it adds strength. There is no Mineral reject generation.

3.7.2 Processing The quarry consisting of stones of various sizes from fines to large boulders are unloaded in to hopper at a crusher located outside the ML area. the material is fed to the primary crusher via chute. After crushing the material is conveyed to vibratory screen for screening. The over size from screen goes to secondary crusher via belt conveyer and chute the crushed material from secondary crusher goes to same screen via the same belt conveyer (conveyer used to separate products. The dust is stored in hopper and directly unloaded in to truck. The products are conveyed out of the screen via conveyer belts to stockpile. From stockpiles the product is loaded in to trucks with help of loaders and delivered at the point of use.

3.8 Resource Optimization/Recycling and Reuse Not envisaged.
