Noise Environment: Sound can be defined as atmospheric or air vibration perceptible to ear. Noise is usually unwanted or undesired sound. Consequently, particular sound can be noise to one person and not to others or noise at one time and not at other time. Hence sound loud enough to be harmful is called noise without regard to its characteristics. Noise is a form of pollution because it can cause hearing impairment and psychological stresses. The noise level measurement in the core zone and nearby buffer zone area was carried out to evaluate the future impact on noise environment due to the proposed mining operation. Noise measurements were carried out using Lutron SL 4001 sound level meter. The result of hourly background noise levels for all locations are given in Table No: 2 S.No Location Results CPCB Standard dB (A) Limit 1 Project site – Centre area 41.1 70* 2 Project Site SW corner 39.5 70* 3 Project site SE Corner 43.2 70* 4 Project site NE Corner 41.3 70* Water environment Assessment of baseline data on water environment includes identification of water resources, collection of water samples, Analyzing water samples collected for Physico – Chemical parameters as per standards. 1 bore well and 2 well water samples were collected and the water quality results are given Table No: 3

Conclusion The base line studies relents no hazardous levels of dust and noise and prevailing at the project area. A well implemented environmental Management plan as discussed in the mining plan will help in mitigation the adverse effects due to quarrying activities. The movement of vehicles is very minimal. The entire vehicle used will be periodically maintained by well experienced mechanic and kept under TNPCB standards, emission testing will be carried out periodically and water will be sprinkled periodically to prevent dust into air. The small quantity of non-humus rich surface soil will be removed and preserved in the boundary barrier to facilitate the Afforestation. Environmental care and attitude of preventing environment is inducted to the proponent and advice to carry out and mitigate the minor impacts due to quarrying. Appropriate persons are advice to get employed to protect the Environment and Ecology of the area.
