Construction operation or decommissioning of the project involving actions, which will cause physical changes in the locality (topography, land use changes in water bodies, etc.) Information/Checklist Yes/ Details thereof (with approximate quantities/rates, S. No confirmation No wherever possible) with sources of information data The topography will be changed after the quarrying of Black Granite as per the Mining plan, Open cast Semi Mechanized Mining with 5.0 meter vertical bench with a bench width of 5.0 meter is being proposed. Topography will change in respect to overburden excavation. However, measures will be implemented as per mining Plan. As the area of the quarry remains the same, there will not be any increase in intensity of local land use. After the end of the life of the quarry Permanent or temporary change the waste material will be backfilled in the mined work in land use, land cover or out area. 1.1 topography including increase in Yes Area to be Area to be intensity of land use (with Present Required at required at respect to local land use plan) Description Area the present the End of (Ha.) scheme the lease period(Ha) period(ha) Area under 0.50.3 0.31.8 1.58.0 quarry Waste dump Nil 0.21.9 Backfilled Infrastructure Nil 0.01.0 0.01.0 Roads 0.01.0 0.01.0 0.02.0 Green Belt Nil 0.12.5 0.25.5 Stocking Blocks 2.07.7 1.39.5 0.72.5 Grand Total 2.59.0 2.07.7 2.59.0 Clearance of existing land, There is no vegetation and building in this project 1.2 vegetation and building? No lease area. The total quarrying activity is proposed to carry out within the quarry lease applied area. Hence, there is no proposal for creating of new land uses. Temporary approach road within the area will be form for the easy 1.3 Creation of new land uses? No access of men and machinery which will be well maintained. The Trailers/ trucks will transport the Black Granite to the needy customer by existing road. The fresh Black Granite is clearly visible, hence pre- Pre-construction investigations 1.4 No construction investigation and soil testing is not e.g. bore houses, soil testing? proposed before quarrying operation. There will be no major civil works, Other than the following: Office building, storeroom, toilet and first 1.5 Construction works? No aid room which will be provided as permanent structures within the quarry lease applied area, after the grant of quarry lease. There are no existing building within the lease applied 1.6 Demolition works? No area hence no demolition work is involved. Temporary sites used for Sites service on permanent structure will be 1.7 construction works or housing of Yes constructed only after grant of quarry lease, hence no construction workers? temporary sites are proposed. Above ground buildings, There are no tall buildings or linear structure found structures or earth works 1.8 No within the quarry site. There is no requirement of including linear structures, cut and fill or excavations cutting and filling in the site. Underground works including Open cast semi mechanized quarrying will be adopted. 1.9 No mining or tunneling? No underground mining or tunneling is proposed. It’s a fresh project and it is proposed plan only 22m (2m topsoil+ 20m Black Granite) for during this scheme 1.10 Reclamation works? Yes period. Hence, after mine reaches ultimate limit of 22m the remaining waste will be refilled in the worked out mine area. It’s an inland opencast quarrying operation, hence 1.11 Dredging? No dredging activities are not proposed. It’s an opencast quarrying operation, There is no such 1.12 Offshore structures? No type of activities involved. There is no production or manufacturing is involved in the Black Granite Quarrying. It’s an opencast Production and manufacturing 1.13 No quarrying operation with shallow drilling and limited processes? blasting. The rough Black granite blocks are either exported or sold to needy domestic factories. There is no proposal for storage of material within the Facilities for storage of goods or quarry lease applied area. The Black Granite Blocks 1.14 No materials? will be loaded directly to the trailers and transported to needy customers. The proposed Recovery of Dimensional stone is 10%.The Remaining 90% Granite waste and total waste will be dumped on the southeastern side and later will be used for backfilling at end of life of quarry. Facilities for treatment or There is no toxic effluent anticipated in the form disposal of solid waste or liquid of solid and liquid or gas.
