I. INTRODUCTION DEIA is a systematic analysis of all environmental impacts arising out of a developmental activity. Depending on type and magnitude of impacts, mitigation measures are suggested to keep the overall environmental quality intact. The Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), Government of India in its EIA Notification directs that construction of any new projects or the expansion/modernization of existing projects should undertake the Environmental Impact Assessment study before commencement of construction work. The main objective of the DEIAA study is to evaluate the benefited and adverse effect of developing activities on the neighbourhood environment and the area where the quarrying is proposed to carry out. In order to get such information on the nature and extent of potential environmental impacts during the operational or non-operational phases of the projects and its related activities taking place concurrently, a District Survey report of Kanchipuram District is made by Geological Survey of India, Chennai, State Unit: Tamil Nadu & Pondicherry. Kancheepuram district was initially known as Chengalpattu District. It was bifurcated on 18-11-1997 into Kancheepuram and Thiruvallur districts. Kancheepuram town, known as city of thousand temples, is the headquarters of the District. The district is situated on the Northern side of east coast of Tamilnadu, at a distance of 76 kms from Chennai and well connected by road and rail. It is bounded on the east by Bay of Bengal, Chennai City and Thiruvallur District on the north, Vellore and Thiruvannamalai Districts on the west and Villupuram District and Union territory of Puducherry on the south. It lies between 11° 00' to 12° 00’ North latitudes and 77° 28' to 78° 50' East longitudes. The district has a total geographical area of 4433 Sq. Kms and coastline of 87.2 Kms. The town is well connected by rail and road with the adjoining urban centers, viz Arakkonam, Chengalpattu, Arcot and Vandavasi. The Chengalpattu Arakkonam broad gauge railway line passes through this town (work is under progress). Apart from this the great western trunk road from the Chennai to Bangalore also passes through the Local Planning Area. Vegavathi river traverses from west to east in the Planning area and it also divides the Planning area into two parts. Fig. No. 1. Location of Kanchipuram district.
