The Quarry lease area is a hill raised 110 m above ground level within the quarry lease area with topo relief in north direction. Total area 0.157 ha is used for mining purpose and road area is within pits only. vi) Raw material required along with estimated quantity likely source, marketing area of final product/s, mode of transport of raw material and finished product

No raw material is required, project is for mining of Road metal.

4 | P a g e Pre-Feasibility Report Sri Sai Krishna Stone Crusher vii) Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined.

In this quarry there is no wastage is anticipated. viii) Availability of water its source, energy/power requirement and source should be given

Water Requirement

Water requirement is mainly for drinking purpose, domestic purpose, green belt maintaining and for sprinkling on Mine haulage roads the water shall be drawn from nearby village. The domestic wastewater shall be sent to septic tank followed by soak pit. Rainwater Catch Pond of 5 KL capacity will be provided to collect the storm water for reuse. This will ensure that the rainwater is effectively used and minimizes the drawn of ground water resources. The required water shall be drawn from the local villages through tankers.

Total Water requirement S. No. Water Usage Quantity KLD 1 Wet drilling operation 1.3 2 Water sprinkling on haul roads 1.0 3 Domestic @ 45 Ltr/Head (25 No’s) 1.1 4 Green Belt 0.4 Total 3.8 ix) Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their Management/disposal

During the plan period a total volume of 70444 m3 will be excavated out of which 70444 m3 of road metal will be produced and there is no waste is anticipated in this mine area. No generation and therefore no proposed dumps. 4. Site Analysis 4.1 Quarry Location

There are no national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and critically polluted areas observed in 10km radius from the quarry lease area.

5. Planning Brief The project is envisaged to be put in production/mining by this year, and the production shall be initiated thereon. Geologists and Mining engineer are identified for preparing the detailed project report.

6. Proposed Infrastructure

The project is new quarry. It is envisaged to be put in production/mining by July 2017, and the production shall be initiated thereon. Consultants are identified for preparing the detailed project report.

6.1 Utilities

The proposed road metal quarrying is semi mechanized opencast method with drilling and blasting.

6.2 Waste management Liquid Effluents

There is no effluent generated from the mine operations.

Air Pollution

The road metal mining does not involve dust formations. The dust anticipated at drilling place will be suppressed by putting cloth around the hole and the dust would be generated during blasting, drilling and mining and also during handling and 6 | P a g e Pre-Feasibility Report Sri Sai Krishna Stone Crusher transportation of the material. The suggested control measures are Dust suppression systems (water spraying) to be adopted at Faces/sites before and after blasting, Faces/sites while loading; and Use of sharp drill bits for drilling holes and drills with water flushing systems (wet drilling) to reduce dust generation. Regular water spraying on haulage roads during transportation of road metal. Dusk masks will be provided to the workers in the dressing section and dust collector in the drilling section. Periodical monitoring of ambient air quality will helps to take steps to control the pollutants.

Solid waste

7. Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) Plan

Not Applicable.
