The area receives average rain fall of more than 4141mm. The highest rainfall receives in the month of July. Geology Regional Geology : Three main geological formations are recognised in Kerala namely, the Archaeans (oldest rocks), the Warkalli beds of Tertiary Age (Upper Miocene to Pliocene) and the recent deposits (quarternary). These have North-South alignment. Mining The Mining is proposed to be operated by developing benches of 5m height and 5m ultimate width by Opencast Semi-Mechanised Mining Method. The mechanised operation of mining includes excavators, tippers, rock breakers, Jack hammer drilling and blasting. The maximum production proposed is 48123 Tonnes per annum of Granite Building Stone. This Pre Feasibility Report is submitted for obtaining Environment Clearance as required under EIA notification-2006 for a max production capacity of 48123 tonnes per annum, over an extent of 1.13Ha (2.80 Acres) located at Survey No.25/1A, Nadiyanga village, Thaliparamba taluk, Kannur District, Kerals State of Saneesh Kodikkandy . However as the mining lease area is less than 5Ha and as per the Gazette of India, MoEFcc dated 15th Jan 2016, no General Conditions are not applicable (Enclosed as Annexure-3). There is no requirement of REIA /EMP as per MoEF notification Dated 15.01.2016. Hence only form-1M is submitted as required under Appendix -VIII to the notification( Copy enclosed as Annexure- 4.) ..2 Granite Building Stone Quarry of Saneesh Kodikkandy Stone Crushers Pre-feasibility Report 2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION: I. Identification of project and project proponent. In case of Mining project, a copy of mining lease/ letter of intent should be given. Granite Building Stone Quarry is located at Survey No 25/1A in Nediyanga Village, Thaliparamba Taluka, Kannur District, Karnataka over an extent of 1.13Ha. (2.80 Acres). Letter of Intent (LOI) for said Granite Building Stone of quarry Saneesh Kodikkandy is issued vide Govt of Kerala Letter No 11725/M3/2016 dated 03.6.2016. A copy of the Letter is enclosed as Annexure –1. The location of the quarry is shown on the Key plan / Location plan enclosed vide Plate No – 1. The approved lease sketch is enclosed vide Plate No – 2 & 2A. Name & address of lessee : Saneesh Kodikkandy & Nediyanga Village Registered Office Kuttiatoor P.O Thaliparamba Taluk, Kannur District., Kerala, India Ph No. : 09947232948 II. Brief description of nature of the project The ‘Granite Building Stone Quarry’ of Saneesh Kodikkandy, over an extent of 1.13Ha is a granite building stone mining project. The granite building stone is the basic rock in this area to be excavated by quarrying. This Granite Building Stone quarry is proposed to be operated by Opencast Semi- mechanized quarrying method. The mechanized operation of quarry shall use excavators, tippers, rock breakers, Jack hammer drilling and blasting. The excavated material shall be crushed in the crushers located outside the quarry lease area. The maximum production capacity proposed in this area is 48123 tonnes per annum building stone of size -150mm. The quarrying operation shall provide 30 direct & equal number of indirect employment to local people. ..3 Granite Building Stone Quarry of Saneesh Kodikkandy Stone Crushers Pre-feasibility Report III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. The basic objective of the project is to have effective utilization of granite stone as a building material in this region and state. The spur in infrastructure development and construction industry has enhanced the demand of granite building stone in last 10 - 15 years. Mainly infrastructure projects – like roads, highways, railways, bridges, buildings, township, etc., have raised the demand of building material. Building stone quarry not only provides the building material but also employment and economic growth of the region that ultimately enhance the socio-economic status of the people of the region and the state. The mining activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local population with direct & indirect employment opportunities. The project also contributes to the regional and financial benefits in the form of Royalty, Cess, Taxes, DMF etc. IV. Demand-Supply Gap. Granite Building stone is an important component of the construction activities for infrastructure development. The demand for granite building stone is increasing along with the increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Kerala. This quarry can produce max 48123 tonnes of building stone annually and the demand of building stone by various industries can be partly fulfilled by this project. During last four years there is a sudden increase in the Real estate activities which has further enhanced the demand for building stone, hence, there is heavy requirement of granite building stone to meet the demand supply chain. V. Imports Vs Indigenous production The requirements of granite building stone in infrastructure industry is huge where as the prices of granite are relatively low. The import or export of the same is not feasible due to heavy transportation cost. The granite building stone of size -150mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for infrastructure development. ..4 Granite Building Stone Quarry of Saneesh Kodikkandy Stone Crushers Pre-feasibility Report VI. Export possibility. The price of the granite is very low and the transportation cost is very high. Hence there are no export possibilities of the same. VII. Domestic/Export markets. The granite building stone of size -150mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for infrastructure development, real estate builders, contractors, etc. and to the nearby vendors for government infrastructure projects. It is not viable to export this material. However, there is huge demand for the granite building stone in the domestic market. VIII.Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project. As per the requirement of Mines Act, Mines manager, Mines Foreman, Mine mates, Blaster, shall be appointed to supervise the quarrying operations. The list of the staff and workmen those shall be employed in the quarry is given below. Sl. No Particulars No’s 1 Highly Skilled 2 2 Skilled 12 3 Semi-skilled 6 4 Un-skilled 10 Total 30 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. The building stone shall be produced by drilling and blasting, the blasted material shall be loaded using excavators and transported to the crushing and screen plant located outside the lease area for reducing it to the sizes acceptable to the market. ..5 Granite Building Stone Quarry of Saneesh Kodikkandy Stone Crushers Pre-feasibility Report (ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout) with Co-ordinates.
