iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted.

No alternative sites considered, the proposal is existing mining project and it is site specific.

iv) Size or magnitude of operation:

Year wise Production and Waste generation

Bench Height Volume in Production Year Working Areas m3 m m3 (100%) m3 2446 1.5 3669 3669 V year 1554 3 4662 4662 Grand – Total 8331

v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given)

The Quarry lease area is a hill raised 115m above ground level within the quarry lease area with topo relief in W direction. Total area 0.40 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.

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. 5 | Page Pre‐Feasibility Report Ganesh Metal Crushers

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 1.9 2 Water sprinkling on haul roads 1.1 3 Domestic @ 45 Ltr/Head (25 No’s) 1.1 4 Green Belt 0.4 Total 4.5

ix) Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their Management/disposal

During the plan period a total volume of 8331 m3 will be excavated out of which 8331 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.

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 existing quarry. Now it is stopped. It is envisaged to be put in production/mining by January 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 manual 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 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.
