PREFEASIBILITY REPORT CHAPTER -1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION: TVL. CHENNAI MINES, has already obtained quarry in Rough Stone deposit over an extent of 3.46.5HA in S.F.No. 211, in ALUR Village, HOSUR Taluk, KRISHNAGIRI District and TAMILNADU State for FIVE years. The District Collector, KRISHNAGIRI vide their letter no. 276 / 2013 / Mines-2 dated 07.12.2013 have conveyed its decision to grant lease over an extent of 3.46.5HA in S.F.No. 211, in ALUR Village, HOSUR Taluk, KRISHNAGIRI District and TAMILNADU State and Requested TVL. CHENNAI MINES to submit the Approved Modified mining plan through the Department of Geology and Mining, KRISHNAGIRI and also obtain Environmental Clearance from DEIAA. Department of Geology and Mining, KRISHNAGIRI vide their Rc. No. 1326 / 2018 / Mines dated 11.10.2018. have approved the Modified Mining Plan over an extent of 3.46.5HA in S.F.No. 211, in ALUR Village, HOSUR Taluk, KRISHNAGIRI District and TAMILNADU State. (Copy of Modified Mining plan approval letter enclosed). TVL. CHENNAI MINES, Six Months and One Year Proposed to quarry Rough Stone for 419006m³ and 23278m³ Per Month from this lease applied area by open cast semi- mechanized mining technique. This feasibility report is prepared towards obtaining the Environmental Clearance. As per MOEF O.M. No. L - 11011/47/2011 –A.II (M) dated 18th May, 2012, leases of minor minerals also require environmental clearance. For getting environmental clearance, depending on the nature magnitude and capacity, the projects are categorized as “A” Category & “B” Category. “A” Category projects have to be cleared by MOEF while “B” Category by the District Environmental Impact Assessment Agency (DEIAA). This being a small quarry of just 3.46.5HA (< 25 Ha) it can be treated as B-2 category. 1.2 DETAILS OF THE AREA: It is a Patta Land, which is not fit for vegetation/cultivation. It is a Patta Land in S.F. Nos. 211 registered in the name of THIRU. PERUMAL GOUNDER S/o. P.SUBRAMANI vides Patta Nos. 1209. Hence, the applicant has got surface right over the area. 2.1.

Geological reserves 807968M³ for Rough stone 3. Total waste The top soil of the lease area is 16096m3. Topsoil formation will be removed and Dumping to all Side of the 7.5m, 20.0m & 50.0m boundary barrier of the lease area, this will be done only after obtaining permission and paying necessary seignior age fees to the Government. Proposed Dump Dimensions: 3 8452Sq.m X 1.90m(H) = 16096m 4. Method of Mining: Opencast Shallow mining with drilling & blasting. 5. Main mining equipment Hydraulic excavator, jack hammers, Tippers, 6. Bench height & Slope Bench height of 7m and bench width of 5m is proposed for Rough Stone. 7. Life of mine 23278m³ Per Month for Rough stone. Total Mineable reserves are 419006m³. Life of the Mine = 419006m³ / 23278m³= 18 Months. 8. Man power 18 including managerial staff 9. Water Requirement & source 2.5 KLD will be met from the bore well within the ML area or through tankers. Drinking & Domestic Purposes (in KLD) 0.750 KLD Dust Suppression (in KLD) 1.500 KLD Green belt (in KLD) 0.250 KLD Total 2.500 KLD 10. Infrastructure Mine office, store room, toilet, first-aid room and, magazine will be provided on semi- permanent structures with the lease area. Portable drinking water can be transported to the work site in tippers or can be at from bore well. 11. Use of Rough Stone & Gravel Rough stone are used mainly in construction industries. 12. Environmental status Being a small mine, impact of mining on environment will be negligible. The mining operation will provide more employment to the rural people and environment friendly operations. DISPOSAL OF WASTE: The top soil of the lease area is 16096m3. Topsoil formation will be removed and Dumping to all Side of the 7.5m, 20.0m & 50.0m boundary barrier of the lease area, this will be done only after obtaining permission and paying necessary seignior age fees to the Government. Proposed Dump Dimensions: 3 8452Sq.m X 1.90m(H) = 16096m 2.3 LAND USE PATTERN: The area is a rural area. Rough Stone exposes in the lease area and it is strewn with boulders of various sizes ranging from a few cm to one to half meter in diameter. The terrain is almost flat and it is cover with Granite Gneiss. Except some small bushes there are no other trees in the applied area. Depth of mining is taken as Total depth- 37m (2m Top soil + 35m Rough Stone). Leaving the Topsoil and weather rock, the thickness of Rough Stone considered now for economical extraction is 35m. Since there is mineral occurrence below this depth also, mining activity may continue in future below this depth. As such no backfilling of mined out void is suggested now. The post mining land use plan/ Conceptual plan along with cross section is shown as mining plan. 3.1. SITE ANALYSIS: 3.2. CONNECTIVITY: HOSUR– PERANDAPALLI= 7.0 Km PERANDAPALLI - ALUR = 3.0 Km Quarry site is located in Eastern side at a distance of 1.0 km. from ALUR Village. 3.3. PROJECT LATOUT IN RELATION TO PRIME NATURAL FEATURES: There is no declared biosphere, wild life Sanctuaries, or tiger Sanctuary or migrating corridor or Coastal Zone in the Zone and 15km suffer zone. As already mentioned, the entire mine lease area is private Patta Land is some others possession and all other Owners are given consent .There are no habitation or other structures like HT electric lines in the lease area. No Water bodies around 500m radius. 4.1. PLANNING CONCEPT: Rough Stone mined from this quarry will meet the domestic and export demands. The production and method of mining is planned considering the geological factors, availability of proven technology, demand for the material etc. Safety barriers as per State Government order is left in the planning stage itself. 4.2. GREENBELT: Green belt will be developed in the safety zone area etc, and at all possible places. Local species will be used for plantation. 5.1 REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN: The Patta Land S.F.No. 211. There are no human habitations also. As such no rehabilitation and resettlement plan is involved. 6.1.
