Kalpaka Metal Crusher at Sy. No. 1/7(part) of Vanniyamkulam-1 Village, Ottapalam Taluk, Palakkad District Pre-Feasibility Report 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Identification of Project Proponent and project Proponent Applicant Details Name and Address M/s. Kalpaka Metal Crusher Kayiliyad Post, Chalavara, Palakkad District, Kerala – 679 122. Authorized Signatory Mr. C.K. Kunhipocker, Chenganakkattil House, Kalpakancherry, Tirur, Malappuram District. Phone Number 9946923177 E-mail [email protected] Type of Mining Open cast semi-mechanized Period of Mining The period of mining is required for 5 years M/s. Kalpaka Metal Crusher, having registered office at Kayiliyad Post, Chalavara, Palakkad, Kerala-679 122 has applied for grant of Environmental Clearance from the Hon’ble DEIAA, Palakkad District for the proposed Granite Building stone located in Survey No.1/7(part), over an extent of 0.9707 Hectares at Vanniyamkulam-1 Village, Ottapalam Taluk, Palakkad District, Kerala for a period of 5 years. Mr. C.K. Kunhipocker residing at Chenganakkattil House, Kalakancherry, Tirur, Malapuram district is the Authorized Signatory for M/s Kalpaka Metal Crusher. 2.2 Brief description of nature of the project Part of the proposed land is a fresh quarry lease area. The proposed land is a part of an existing quarry and there is no vegetation present in the proposed lease area. The topography of the area is hilly terrain. The highest elevation of the lease area is 152 m MSL and lowest elevation is 112 m MSL. As the proposed area is hill rock, the drainage of the lease area is towards South-West side. 2 Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/s. Kalpaka Metal Crusher at Sy. No. 1/7(part) of Vanniyamkulam-1 Village, Ottapalam Taluk, Palakkad District Pre-Feasibility Report Geological Reserves is estimated as 484146 M3 (1210365 M.T) and Recoverable Reserves is estimated as 227605 M3 (569012 M.T) of Granite Building stone after leaving necessary safety distance from the permit area indicated in the precise area letter and relevant mining laws in force. The average proposed rate of production of Granite Building Stone is about 216083 M 3 (540207 M.T)/5 = 43217 m3 (108041 M.T) per year for Applied permit area. The Average proposed production of Granite Building Stone per day is about 108041 M.T/260days = 415.5 M.T by truck load is 416/8=52 M.T. 2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region The major need of building stone is due to high compressive strength and durability (among the hardest, dimensional & structural stones) it can effectively withstand the vagaries of nature. Fine-grained granite is employed for ornamental and monumental. Works as well as for inscription purposes. The mineral –rich colours, and the hardness & density, makes its useful for many applications. The proposed mining project will fulfill its end uses in buildings and constructions, bridges, paving, monuments and many other exterior projects. Polished slabs and titles are used in countertops, flooring, retaining walls and landscaping around a centre are used in countertops, flooring, retaining walls and landscaping around a centre fountain / pond, staircase and many other design elements (residential and commercial applications). It is also known as the maintenance – free stone. The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas bring about gains in gross domestic product, ie. There is though a minor contribution by the proposed project but will add to the gains in G.D.P (Gross Domestic Product). A total of 31 people will be employed in the mine. It will create employment (though marginally) for local population. 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 infrastructure development and other sectors like health, education and social welfare. 3 Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/s. Kalpaka Metal Crusher at Sy. No. 1/7(part) of Vanniyamkulam-1 Village, Ottapalam Taluk, Palakkad District Pre-Feasibility Report 2.4 Demand – Supply Gap Since it is main raw material in construction project. It is always in demand. So the proposed mining project will fulfill its end users in local market, as it is always in good demand in construction projects. 2.5 Imports / Exports Building stone explored from the mines will be used in the local areas in construction activities like roads, building and railways. The mineral produced from the proposed mine will be sent to the crusher plant located near the quarry site for crushing it to required size before dispatching it to the end use. 2.6 Export possibility No export businesses are taken in this project. 2.7 Domestic/ export markets The rough stone produced will be sold in local market, which is in turn used for construction purposes. 2.8 Employment Generation due to the project Around 31 employees will be engaged in the mines for quarrying Granite Building Stone during the Ten Years period to achieve the proposed production and to comply with the provisions of the Government norms. The required manpower for mining operation is given in Table 2 – 1. 1. Skilled Operator 5 No. Mechanic 2 No. Blaster/Mat 2 No. 2. Semi – Driver 4 Nos skilled 3.
