INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACK GROUND INFORMATION The project is for obtaining Environment clearance for building stone mining project (Minor Mineral Quarry). The project is proposed by Mr. Sudheesh A T, which is situated at Survey No. 257/2/1,257/2/3,257/2/4,257/3/1,257/3/2,258/4 of Vengappally Village, Vythiri Taluk, Wayanad District, Kerala for an area of 2.7513 hectares.

EXTENT: 2.7513 HA, SY NO: 257/2/1,257/2/3,257/2/4,257/3/1,257/3/2,258/4 Need for the project: The objective of the project is the effective utilization of minor minerals in public and private projects coming in this region. Granite (Building Stone) is the most commonly used metal in road, railway track construction etc. Rapid industrialization and growth in infrastructure has made global as well as domestic demand for building stone. Being a construction material, the mineral will be used in local market. The excavated mineral will be crushed into required sizes and made ready for use. The mining project will fulfill its end uses in construction purposes. The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas will add to the revenue of the state through royalty on the mineral. Employment potential: The quarry shall provide direct employment to 13 people including technical & professional competent staff experienced in quarrying &allied activities. The working hours at the quarry will be 8hours/day for 300days/year. The employees will be assigned job relating to drilling, the handling of the building stone and waste &other routine works in the quarry.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Topography The topography of the surrounding lease area is an elevated terrain with quarry land covered with native trees, shrubs, herbs, grass, climbers, bushes etc. The highest elevation of the lease area is 780 m MSL and lowest is 750 m MSL. The proposed area is hillock and the drainage of the lease area is towards N- W. No habitants are located in the lease area. Exposed rocks in the lease area are marked on geological plan. Regional geology The area can be broadly divided into four geological domains viz., the Peninsula Gneissic Complex in the north and central part, ii) the Migmatite Complex in the southcentral part, (iii) the Charnockite Group in the south and (iv) the Wayanad Group in the north. Wayanad Group of supracrustal rocks include garnet-sillimanite-biotite gneiss with or without graphite, kyanite-fuchsite-muscovite-quarts schist, hornblende-biotite schist and gneiss+garnet, amphibolite bands, quartz-sericite schist/quartz-mica schist and meta ultramafites, representing upper amphibolite to lower granulite facies metamorphism. These rocks are found as linear bands in the north. The main member of this group garnet-sillimanite- biotite gneiss+graphite occurs as large bodies north of Kabani river. Peninsular Gneissic Complex represented by hornblende-biotite gneiss and pink granite gneiss occupies a major part of the district. Charnockite Group comprises charnockite forming the hilly terrain in the south and southeast. Pyroxene Granulite and banded Magnetite Quartzite occur as narrow bands within charnockite. Migmatite Complex is represented by biotite-hornblende gneiss, occurring over a large area in the south-central part. The other members of this group, namely garnetiferous quarto-feldspathic gneiss+sillimanite occur are narrow bands within the older charnockite. In the east, large bodies of intrusive pink granite occur near Kalpetta and Sultan Battery. Pegmatite veins are also associated with the granites. Dolerite and gabbro are intrusive into the older rocks. Large lenticular bodies of gabbro/anorthosites occur northeast of Manantody and a large body of diorite occurs near the northern boundary of the district.

EXTENT: 2.7513 HA, SY NO: 257/2/1,257/2/3,257/2/4,257/3/1,257/3/2,258/4 Local geology The local geology belongs to the regional geology. Main rock type in the study area is charnockite. At places where they are exposed, the charnockite is medium to coarse grained with dark grey quartz. The soil & over burden thickness is varies from avg. 1.2 m. to 0.6 m. Topographically, the area is undulating. Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects This is a semi mechanized open cast mining project. Mineral will be used in the construction works.
