No. 458 (P), of Mallavalli Village, Bapulapadu Mandal, Krishna Dt, Andhra Pradesh. The quarry lease applied area is located southern part of plain land, over the gravel outcrop with a maximum elevation of 7 M above ground level. The lowest & highest contours is 74 M and 81M. Regional Geology The subject area is physiographical flat area. The area is constituted of naturally occurring which is gravel. The area constitutes southernmost part of Eastern Ghat Mobile Belt (EGMB), where the belt is tapering to less than 20 km width. EGMB is trending in NNE – SSW in the area. They consist of Gollanapally sandstone, fluvial geological formation, quartz, k-feldspar, garnet, silliminite, graphite ,with or without corundum. In the Northeastern part, a number of calc granulite and quartzite bands are present, within khondalite. Rocks of Upper Gondwana Group of the Gondwana Super group, comprising Tirupati Sandstone, Gollapalle/Chintalapudi Sandstone and Kamthi Sandstone are exposed north, northwest and east of Nuzivid. These rocks trend NE-SW with 200 dip towards SE Unconformably overlaying the Gondwana rocks is a small patch of Rajahmundry Sandstone, occurring NE OF Nuzividu. The sandstone is brick red in colour and contains nodules of clay. Major part of the district in the southern part is represented by the alluvial plains forming the Krishna delta. The river Krishna and its tributaries have contributed to the formation of this alluvial plain. There is no significant surface drainage in these alluvial plains. The delta is relatively a flat area. The alluvial plains along the major course of rivers form the flood plain deposits. The coastal and deltaic alluvial plain extends from Challapalli on the west to Kolleti Kota on the east and up to the coast line on the south. The main geomorphic units exist in these plains are palaeo-channels, beach ridges, lagoons, sand spits and sand barriers. The predominant soils in the district are black cotton soils/deltaic soils, red loamy soils and sandy soils. Red clayey soils with sandy loam to clayey loam in texture and occur in the northern part of the district. The deltaic alluvium is grey brown to black in colour with fine to medium texture and poorly permeable. They are fertile soils. The coastal sandy soils occur all along the coast, highly porous and lack of binding material. The rocks of Archean age are overlain by Proterozoic cover sequence of cuddapah super group and Kurnool group. The contacts between older crystalline and the younger sediment is marked by pronounced unconformity known as Eparchaean Unconformity. 7 Detailed Description of geology of applied area: Physiographically the applied area is an undulating land overlaid by gravel with boulder formation of Khondalite group of rocks of Eastern ghat super group of rocks with an age Archean Period. Geologically gravel may be formed by Insitu weathering of khondalite group of rocks which is useful for formation of kaccha roads of filling purpose. Reserves and Average Production The deposit is found to be more or less flat terrain. Hence cross sectional method adopted for Estimation of Geological Reserves. 4 Sections A-A1 to D-D1 were drawn at equal distance perpendicular to the trend direction of the deposit to estimate the reserves (Plate – IV). In this method, the ore body is divided into blocks by constructing geologic sections at intervals along the transverse lines. The interval between sections may be constant or may vary to suit the geological setting and mining methodology. As the applied area is uneven shape we use the formula V= ((s1+s2)/2)*L1+ ((s2+s3)/2)*L2+ ((s3+s4)/2)*L3+_ _ _+ ((sn1+sn)/2)*Ln Where V= Volume L1, L2, L3,_ _ _, LN are perpendicular distances between the adjoining sections with areas S1, S2, S3,_ _ _, SN. 8 CROSS- CROSS SECTIONAL AVG.
