To gain access to the mineralized package within the lease area it is often necessary to mine through or remove to the side waste material which is not of immediate interest to the miner. The total movement of product and waste, which also includes the removal of soil in some cases, is referred to as the mining process. The report discusses the management plan for mitigation of adverse environmental impacts and increases the beneficial impacts due to mining of Road metal. The environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or secondary. Primary impacts are those, which are attributable directly to the project, secondary impacts are those, which are indirectly induc ed and typically include the associated investment and changed pattern of social and economic activities by the proposed action. The objective of preparing environment management plan is to define effective measures to control and to mitigate the environm ental pollution. This report presents the environment management plan, detailing the environmentally sound technology and the measures needed to mitigate the anticipated environmental impacts due to the project. 1.1 IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT: M/s Sai Rama Stone Crusher,Prop:Sri Tummalapalli Manikyam,was granted quarry lease for Road Metal over an extent of 2.5 Ha in Sy .No.90 (Govt.Land) of Tirupatammapeta Village,Rowthulapudi Mandal,East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh State, by the Dy.

Details of Approved Mining Plan, if any No Mining plan was approved earlier. The Present Mining Plan is for assessment of the quarry activity, Reserve Estimation, Proposed Method of Mining, Environment Management Plan including Reclamation and Rehabilitation measures to be adopted. 2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT In the present scenario, the Road Metal has good market in the country for export for construction of buildings, roads, dams etc. The available of 100% of Road Metal is useful. There won’t be any wastage. 2.3 TOPOGRAPHY Topographically the Quarry Lease area is a part of the hill with gentle slopes spreading all the directions. Physically the Q.L area is occupied in tiny part of the hill covering SE part of the hill. The highest elevation 170m at the north part of the Quarry lease area. The pillar No. 2 to the southeastern corner of the Q.L area is taken as bench mark of 114m. The highest R.L is 170 m and the lowest is 114 m. Thus, the Quarry Lease area is having an altitudinal range of 56m from the lowest level. The precipitation follows the natural slopes and joins the Pampa river situated to the Southeast of the area at a distance of 1.20 kms from the Q.L boundary. 2.4 GEOLOGY The district is underlain by Archaean crystallines, Gondwanas, Deccan Traps, Tertiaries and alluvial sediments. About 45% of the district is underlain by Gondwana formations, 40% is underlain by Alluvium and the rest is by Archaean crystalline rocks. The geological succession is given below.

The lessee has made some trial pits for undertaking prospecting operations and to study the economic viability of the rock. The granite is available right from the surface with some soil cover. The lessee has collected samples and examined for their texture, mineral grains distribution and hardness. The percentage of recovery is about 95%. The 5% waste is normally weathered granite which is not suitable as a stone metal and the material contaminated with soil. 2.4.1 Regional Geology The quarry lease area constitutes a part of Granite and Granitic Gneissic terrain of Archean age.Pink and grey Coloured Granites,Pink Alkali -Feldspar Granites are the important litho units in the area.Grano -Diorites with basic enclaves of Supra-Crystals like Horneblemde Schists,Biotite Schists aso occupy the area.These rock types are exhibiting various landforms like Domes,Whalebacks and Linear Ridges.
