Midwest Granite Private limited . Extent:10.761 Ha At Rajupalem Lakshmi puram Villages, Chimakurthy Mandal, Prakasam District, A.P. Draft EIA Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Granite is an important building material used from ages in our country. There is huge export potential for raw and polished granites. The Black Galaxy is Indian black granite, with a great market demand. This is a very unique type of black granite due to its abundant number of silver flakes. These are from a specific mineral and give this granite an unique and beautiful look The Black Galaxy is a black colored granite, with a deep black colour, thin to medium grain and clear signs of gold and silver shiny flakes. This is a well-known black granite from India, famous for its uniform and deep black colour, as well as its silver shiny flakes. Its main variations depend on the grain thickness and abundance of gold and silver flakes. Black Galaxy is actively traded as a commodity and owing to the large volume of quarrying, large blocks in First Choice material are becoming scarcer and much more expensive. Nowadays Indian Granite Star Galaxy aka Black Galaxy Granite has become most demanding natural building stone in USA, UK, Poland, Bulgaria, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Italy, Mexico and other countries. Although granite is a minor mineral, it is a major contributor in foreign exchange earnings. India is the second largest exporter of raw granite after China and ahead of Brazil and South Africa. 1.0 Proponents M/S Midwest Granite Privated Limited , was incorporated in the year 1981 by Mr. K. Ragahava Reddy with the core objective of developing competence and expertise in the field of natural stone, namely Granite, Marble, Limestone, and Travertine. In the ensuing years, Midwest has established itself as a very strong player in the domain of Exploration, Mining, Processing and export of natural Stone products. Midwest is among the top 3 natural stone players in India. Midwest mines over 3.5 million tons of granite per annum, which includes saleable product and waste granite. Midwest has presence in over 30 countries. Midwest has established market linkages with a number of direct customers in all important markets, through agency and distribution system. Midwest manufactures environmental friendly diamond tools for mining industry with facilities in India and Srilanka. Midwest is a recipient of several awards at National and State level. Midwest is recognized as “Star Export House” by Government of India. 1-1 Pridhvi Envirotech (P) Limited Proposed Black galaxy Granite Mine of M/s. Midwest Granite Private limited .

This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Govt./ Uni~n Territory a~ministratio~. It Intc:­ al'ia. Provides data/information on some of the basIc demographiC and socia-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenities/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to' be of immense utility to the planners., administrators, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Village' and Town Directories including PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the District Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising, Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and Union Territories. The thnd Part (C) of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be published in many States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material.

Received 5 November, 2015; Accepted 11 February, 2016 Hydrogeochemical evaluation of aquifers belonging to Chimakurthy granitic pluton complex reveals wide spatial and temporal variation in F- distribution. F- concentration in groundwater of different aquifers varies from < 0. 50 to 9.84 mg/l. Among three sampled episodes, the mean value of F- is high in July 2010 and 61% of samples have values above maximum permissible limit as per the Bureau of Indian Standards. In April 2008, 44% and in February 2009, 41% of samples were not fit for drinking purposes due to enrichment of F-. Northern half of the area is almost free from F- but south central part, which has witnessed igneous activity with mafic intrusive form the core area of F- mineralization. Cent percent testing of all the groundwater structures in fifteen villages show uneven distribution of F- even - + - within limited terrain. F show close positive correlation with pH (0.57), Na (0.68), HCO3 (0.61) and distinct negative correlation (-0.31) with Ca2+. The groundwater facies is of sodium bicarbonate chloride type, sodium magnesium bicarbonate type and calcium magnesium bicarbonate type.
