Babaso Appsab Aiwale Building Stone Quarry Pre-Feasibility Report 2.0 Introduction 2.1 General: Building Stone is one of the major materials being used in infrastructural projects, mainly as an aggregate in concreting. In addition, it also finds its applications in stone masonry constructions, as railway ballast, filler material, water treatment plants as filter media etc. etc. Depending on the size of the material, building stones are being classified as size stones, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate etc. Even the fine powder, which is the resultant of crushing of building stone, finds its usage as finishing coat for black top roads. 2.2 Identification of project and project proponent (in case of mining project a copy of mining lease / letter of intent should be given) Identification of Project Lessee/Project Proponent Project: Building Stone Quarry Sri. Babaso Appasab Aiwale Extent: 3-00 Acres #449, Adi Sy. No. 269(P) in Kodni Village, Chikkodi Taluk Chikkodi Taluk & Belagavi Dist. Belagavi District, Karnataka Karnataka. Email ID : [email protected] 2.3 Brief description of nature of the project: The proposed area falls within the jurisdiction of Kodni Village. The mining lease area lies between Longitude 74o20’31.9” E to 74o20’27.7” E and Latitude 16o24’14.5” N to 16o24’13.6” N covered in part of Survey of India Topo-sheet No. 47/L/07. The area is of undulated hilly terrain, forming small mould exposures stretching N-S Directions, sloping towards S-W. The sanctioned area consists of Grey Gneissic Granite boulders with scanty soil cover followed by sheet rock. The entire area is at about 583-575m, above mean sea level. It is observed that the whole area is solid sheet rock, as outcrop. There are no major trees in the sanctioned area, except some small bushes and jungle plants. The drainage of the area is towards N-E. P-3 Sri. Babaso Appsab Aiwale Building Stone Quarry Pre-Feasibility Report 2.4 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region: The building stone, in addition to its normal uses like size stone for stone masonry works, fencing posts, for production of aggregates etc., is getting an increased demand in the construction industry, due to shortage of good quality river sand and banning of the filter sand by the Govt. Authorities. The grey granite available in the proposed quarry, is good for M-Sand production, and also it reduces the demand for River Sand, which in turn will help in maintaining the riverine eco systems, from the environmental perspective. No mineral processing activities like crushing, beneficiation etc. are envisaged within the sanctioned quarry area, except production of boulders. 2.5 Demand- Supply Gap: There is a good demand for Building Stone, from the Construction Industry, in the nearby cities/ towns like Belagavi, Chikkodi, Savadatti etc. 2.6 Imports vs. Indigenous Production: Not applicable, as import of building stone, is not required in India. 2.7 Export Possibility: Not envisaged at this stage, as there is enough demand in the local market. 2.8 Domestic/ Export Markets: Not applicable, as the quantity and extent of mining, are very marginal. 2.9 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project. About 10 persons including managerial and office staff will be required to operate the quarry to achieve the required production levels. P-4 Sri. Babaso Appsab Aiwale Building Stone Quarry Pre-Feasibility Report 3.0 Project Description 3.1 General Quarrying of building stone is not very cumbersome unlike other stone materials. Generally, with simple machines, it can be excavated and can be crushed to required size and specification, at specialized stone crushers. In some cases, even the sized stones are cut to the required size, for usage in stone masonry works. The actual block splitting from the sheet rocks or boulders is mainly done manually or in some cases by semi- mechanized methods, whereas the other operations, such as removal of overburden, lifting and transporting of cut blocks, etc. are carried out by mechanized method. Depending on the hardness of the rock, required production levels etc., controlled blasting by authorized blasting agencies, will be carried-out. 3.2 Type of project incl. interlinked and interdependent project, if any: It is a new Building Stone Quarry, for the proposed quarrying activity there are no interlinked and inter-dependent projects. 3.3 Location Extract of Revenue Map showing general location, specific location and project boundary, is enclosed. The GPS coordinates of the site are as under: Point No. Latitude Longitude A 16024’14.5” 74020’31.9” B 16024’11.8” 74020’32.2” C 16024’10.2” 74020’27.8” D 16024’13.6” 74020’27.7” Location of the project on survey of India Topo-sheet (1:50000 scale) is enclosed. 3.4 Details of alternate sites, considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted P-5 Sri. Babaso Appsab Aiwale Building Stone Quarry Pre-Feasibility Report Not applicable, as the quarrying activity is a site specific work. The site is cleared, from environmental considerations, by the District Task Force, Belagavi, in line with the Karnataka Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1994 (incl. its amendments upto date), for quarrying of building stone. 3.5 Size or magnitude of operation: The development and production programme is confined to the entire area for the first 5 years. The scheme has been planned by taking into consideration of the nature of the deposit within the sanctioned area. It is observed that the sheet rocks are exposed in the neighboring quarries. The proposed year-wise working plan is furnished below: Year Saleable (Tons) Waste (Tons) 1st 9,994 526 2nd 9,994 526 3rd 9,994 526 4th 9,994 526 5th 9,994 526 Total 49,970 2,630 Avg. 9,994 526 3.6 Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given): The proposed method of quarrying to be practiced at the building stone quarry is of “OPEN CAST” method, by semi-mechanized way. However, care has to be taken to make it environmental friendly by constantly adopting suitable mining techniques. The quarrying will be carried-out by deploying machineries like Excavators, Air compressors, Jack hammers, Tippers etc. The mining techniques being used in the area is in combination of Jack hammer drilling, followed by excavation method, as per the approved Quarry Plan (Copy enclosed). 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 products: P-6 Sri. Babaso Appsab Aiwale Building Stone Quarry Pre-Feasibility Report The proposal itself is a raw material production, for subsequent operations like crushing etc. Transportation of the quarried material i.e. boulders, will be carried-out using tractors, dumpers etc. 3.8 Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project. If any, should be briefly outlined: No recycling and reuse of material envisaged, as literally there will not be any kind of waste generation. 3.9 Availability of water its source, Energy/power requirement and source should be given: Water will be available from nearby bore wells. Water will not be required for quarrying activities, except for activities like dust suppression of haulage roads, watering of trees/ plants etc., in addition to the drinking needs of the persons deployed in the quarry. The estimated water requirement is about 100 Liters/Day for Drinking Purpose, 2700 Liters/Day for Dust Suppression and about 500 litres/day for watering of trees, making a total water requirement as 3.5KLD. No energy/power is required, as the quarrying machines will be diesel operated. 3.10 Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their Management/disposal: 2630 Tons of waste generation is expected during the 5 years plan period, which will be used for strengthening of the approach road. 3.11 Schematic representations of the feasibility drawing which give information of EIA purpose Extract of the location showing in Topo-sheet (1:50000 scale) has been enclosed along with.
