This is a proposal submitted by Sri. G.P. Jayapalayya seeking Environmental Clearance for proposed sand quarry project in Suvarnamukhi river bed at Sy. No. 38, 37, 57, 73, 6, 8, 9 & 10 of Hoovinahole Village, Block No- 2, Hiriyur Taluk, Chitradurga District (15-00 Acres) with the average production of 37,500 Tonnes/annum. Depth of mining proposed is 2.66 m.

The mining plan is approved by the Deputy Director, Department of Mines and Geology, Chithradurga District.

The proposal is placed before the committee for appraisal.

The Project proponent and Environment Consultant attended the meeting of SEAC to provide required information/clarification.

The committee appraised the proposal considering the information provided in the Statutory Application Form 1, pre-feasibility report, approved quarry plan, EMP and additional information provided during the meeting. The committee perused the Gazette Notification dated 13th January 2017, submitted by the proponent and noted that the sand block allotted to the proponent is by e-tendering process and the quantity mentioned does not specify clearly whether it is annual extraction or total extraction for five years. But, as per the quarry plan furnished by proponent and approved by DMG, the total quantity that could be extracted is five times the quantity mentioned in the e-tendering. The committee is of the opinion that the quarry plan approved by the DMG is to be relied upon about the total quantity available for extraction rather than the Gazette Notification which is silent about the quantity whether it is for annual extraction or total extraction for five years. The committee also noted that the depth of mining proposed in the quarry plan is 2.66 m per annum whereas the depth of mining proposed during the presentation made is 0.50 m per annum which is estimated to be replenished every year. The proponent has made a statement that the RL of the river is 583 m and at the end of 5 years it will be 582.5m. The proponent has submitted the revised replenishment study and revised geological mineable reserve and production calculations during the meeting. The committee suggested the proponent to take proper measures to prevent soil erosion and to stabilize the bank by planting suitable grasses like khus grass and tree species.

The committee after discussion and deliberation decided to recommend the proposal to SEIAA for issue of Environmental Clearance subject to submission of revised quarry plan duly approved by DMG by changing the depth of mining proposed as per the presentation made.

Action: Secretary, SEAC to forward the proposal to SEIAA for further necessary action.
