Land bearing Sy. No.492/2 an extent of 2.16 Acre. The chosen land, belongs to Beluvai Village in Mangalore Taluk & Dakshina Kannada District. 1.3 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROJECT The present project of Laterite quarrying in a Govt. Land having an extent of 2.16 Acres with a capacity of 38,448 Tons per Annum has the main advantage of availability of the rocky terrain. The location of the quarry is near to Beluvai Village in Mangalore Taluk & Dakshina Kannada District. Further the Proposed Project has chosen to adopt “OPEN CAST” Method by Semi-mechanized quarrying, an already proven environment friendly process, which will be a safe bet on the investment as well as returns on investment, & for environmental protection & pollution prevention. 1 Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Laterite Sri. Srikanth Shetty Quarry Dakshina Kannada District 1.4 ADMINISTRATIVE & LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND As per the latest Office Memorandum No. L-11011/47/2011-IA.II(M) dated 18th May 2012 issued by Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF), Government of India and the EIA Notification of the MoEF dated 14.09.2006 (amended in 2009), any new Mining or Quarrying activity shall not be undertaken in any part of India unless it is accorded environmental clearance by the concerned State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), in accordance with the procedures specified in this Notification. As per the procedure, all quarries or mining of minor minerals proposals with an extent of less than 5 Hectares of activity area, in any part of India or expansion or modernization of any existing mine/ quarry, shall apply in prescribed Form, along with necessary documentation like Pre-Feasibility Report, Approved Mining Plan, Location Map, Land documents, Mine Notification Copy, Environmental Management Plan (EMP) etc..

Srikanth Shetty Quarry Dakshina Kannada District CHAPTER – 2 PROJECT DETAILS 2.0 INTRODUCTION Sri. Srikanth Shetty is proposing a Laterite quarry for extraction of Laterite Blocks of various sizes to cater to the demands of the domestic as well as export market. The said Quarry is a new quarry and is spread over an extent of 2.16 Acres in a Patta Land bearing Survey No. 492/2, of Beluvai Village in Mangalore Taluk & Dakshina Kannada District, in the state of Karnataka. 2.1 PROJECT SITE DETAILS v Sri. Srikanth Shetty is proposing a Laterite quarry, in an area of 2.16 acre of Patta Land. v The geographical details of the quarry site are as under: Point Latitude Longitude A N 13o06’45.10” E 74o58’09.70” B N 13o06’40.30” E 74o58’08.80” C N 13o06’40.30” E 74o58’07.10” D N 13o06’45.30” E 74o58’07.60” v Details of the surrounding environmental features are given under Chapter-3 2.2 DETAILS ABOUT THE PROJECT 2.2.1 Cost of the Project: The total cost of the proposed Laterite quarrying activity is estimated as Rs. 30 Lakhs, of which approx. Rs. 3-0 Lakhs is towards the pollution control. Most of the mechanical equipment will be outsourced. 4 Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Laterite Sri. Srikanth Shetty Quarry Dakshina Kannada District 2.2.2 Raw Materials Requirement The proposed activity itself is quarrying of Laterite, which will be the raw material for subsequent activities. Hence, there is no requirement of any other raw materials. 2.2.3 Description of the Process: In the above mentioned Patta Land (Sy. No.492/2 of Beluvai Village in Mangalore Taluk & Dakshina Kannada District, Karnataka State) quarrying of Laterite will be carried-out. Mechanization plays a very important role in the development of quarrying and production programme. The quarrying operaion jcb required for removal of top soil & cutting machine required for the laterite or bricks as per market specification in the area is planned to be of open cast type. The recovery of Laterite is generally 80%. And Hence it requires machinery for increased production. To achieve the required level of Laterite production, it requires 1 JCB, 1 30HP Cutting Machine, 1 Tractor & 1 Tippers. Transportation of quarried material will be made through hired trucks to the dispatching points. Removal of Laterite: Quarry by means of pneumatic methods for development of the quarry & for the production of Laterite material. For the development work in the Quarry JCB will be used for Removal of overburden of soil. 30hp cutting machine used for cutting the Laterite brick and manually break the bricks as per the market requirements. Loading & Transport: Loading of the Laterite material will be done mechanically by tippers of 10 tons capacity and transported from the quarry to the required site. The rejected material will be dumped separately. All other safety measures were observed as per DGMS specification. 2.2.4 Water requirement Water will not be utilized for any of the quarrying and related activities. Water will only be required to meet the drinking and sanitation needs of employees and visitors. The estimated water requirement for the proposed quarry will be about 330 liters/ day, for drinking and sanitation requirements and about 3,170 liters/day for other purposes like drilling, dust suppression etc., which will be met from tankers purchased locally. 5 Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Laterite Sri. Srikanth Shetty Quarry Dakshina Kannada District 2.2.5 Power The power required for the operation of the proposed unit has been estimated as 15 KW and will be drawn from the nearest Substation.
