The site is accessible from Village road Land: The land provided comes under mining area approved by the government of Maharashtra. Therefore no need of human displacement is needed in the project area. The land provided for stone mining is 4.8850 hectare to the project proponent. Co-ordinate: The coordinates of the plant site are latitude 16°1’37.05"N and longitude 73° 51'38.22"E Water: Water requirement of the project will be met through the water tanker and bore well which is existing in the human settlement area. Company does not exploit any other water resources or ground water; therefore no adverse impact is anticipated on water environment. The water requirement is estimated to be maximum of 5000 lit/day. Electric Supply: No electricity supply required for the project Project Cost: The total cost of the project including all facilities is estimated to be INR 25.00 Lacks. Topography: Sindhudurg district is located in the Konkan region of Maharashtra State and covers aeographical area of 5087 sq.km. The district lies in the Survey of India degree sheets 47H, 48 E and 48 I. The district is located between north latitude 15°37’ and 16° 40’ and east longitude 73°19’ and 74° 13’. The district is bounded in the north by Sindhudurg district, west by Arabian Sea and in the east by Kolhapur district and in the south by Goa State and Belgaum district of Karnataka State. National Highway 17 passes through the district. The district has 7 railway stations with a 103 km. stretch of Konkan Railway line. It has good road and rail links with Goa and Mumbai. The distri ct has a geographical area of 5087 sq. km. out of which about 390 sq.km. is covered by forest, whereas cultivable area is 2495 sq. km. and net sown area is 1354 sq. km. The major stratigraphic units represented in the area under study are the Archean Complex, Kaladgi Supergroup, Deccan Trap, Laterite and Alluvium. The Kaladgis unconformably overlie the Archean metasediments and also at places exhibit faulted contacts with the latter. The major part of the area is covered by a thick evergreen vegetation. The interpretation followed by field work and laboratory work revealed the following: 1. The different lithologic units could be delineated on the aerial photographs. 2. Different lineaments marked on the imagery were found to be due either to faults or fracture zones. Some of the older faults appear to have been rejuvenated after the formation of the laterites. 3. Some of the lithologic horizons can be identified on the Landsat imagery by virtue of their spatial signatures. These studies indicate that even in the area covered with thick vegetation, aerospace imagery in appropriate band and data scale can provide significant geological information. Soil Quality: The soil formation in the district in the district is controlled mainly by climate. Most of the soils are derived from Lateritic rocks. The soils are classified based on physical characteristics into four types viz., Rice soil, Garden soil, Varkas soil and Alluvial soil. The Rice soils are termed as ‘Mali soils’ when situated in higher levels, ‘Kuryat soils’ in lower levels and ‘Panthar or Vaigam’ when situated near water courses. Varkas soils are reddish brown to yellowish red in colour and are situated on hill slopes. These soils are poor in fertility, shallow in depth and coarse in texture. Garden soils are of mixed origin, yellow red to brown in color and are located in the valley portions. These soils are light, well drained and fairly fertile. Coastal Alluvial soils are recent deposits found along the coastal tracts and constitute deep loam. Due to inundation of sea, part 4 of the coastal soils has become salty. In the Deogad, Malwan and Vengurla talukas practically entire strip is salty. Meteorology: The average annual rainfall within the district is heavy and is about 2500-3500 mm in Sindhudurga district. The minimum temperature is the lowest and it ranges from about 16.8oC to 18oC. There is a rapid rise in temperature in March to May ranges from about 320C to 39 °C. The mean maximum temperature in the area goes up to 39°C. In all season relative humidity is between 61-86% as reported by Indian meteorological center. Water: Water needed for operation requirement shall be drawn from water tankers and bore well which is present in the human settlement area and not in the lease area. Ecology: No extra land will be acquired during the operation of the project there will be no adverse impact on some of the environmental aspect. In the area of the project proponent clustered green belt is found in the vicinity, hence there will not be any kind of deforestation. No rare or endangered species of flora and fauna are present in the immediate vicinity as well as the study area. Thus, there will not be any adverse impact on flora and fauna. Socio-economic: The project will provide positive impact on the economic development of the region in terms of employment opportunities. Moreover the above unit will be operating in an authorized mining land declared by the Govt. of India. Therefore no population will be displaced. Risk assessment plan Risks likely to pose threat to man, environment or property associated with various activities are addressed in this report. Such activities include transport, storage; handling and usage of fuels. Surrounding population shall be made aware of safety precautions to be taken in case of any mishap in project site. Conclusion The minor mineral project of stone crushing will not have any adverse impact on the environment. Altogether the project will have a positive impact on social environment by providing employment opportunity for the skilled and unskilled labors living in the surrounding villages. Also the infrastructure around the site will be improved due to the project. Prefeasibility Report 1. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT 1.1 Identification of the project proponent Shri Aatmaram Narayan Kesarkar has Granted a Black Granite quarry lease for an area 4.8850 Hectare in part area of survey no. 136/0,137/2-A,137/2-B,138/2A,138/2B-2Part of Village – Keravade – Karyat- Narur, Taluka – Kudal, District - Sindhudurga, and State-Maharashtra State from the district Collector, Sindhudurga. The vide collector order no is, DESK/17/Khani/GRANITE/KV/1317/10Dtd. 12/11/2010, for the period of 15 Years. The said land is Private land for quarrying capacity of 5,000 cum per year. The major highlights of the project are: The project comes under non agriculture land. Ideally located at Village Keravade – Karyat- Narur which is Located Approx- 30 km East from Kudal (Taluka Place). No National park or wildlife sanctuary lies within the buffer zone or nearby this region. No displacements of settlement are required. No sensitive places of notified archaeological, historical or tourist importance within or nearby the buffer zone Crushing Activity The crusher will be installed in the site. 1.2 Description of Nature of the Project Over the last 10 years, the Construction sector has been registering strong growth rates in the range of 7-8%. Housing and construction is one of the major drivers of growth in more than 40 allied industries including STONE CRUSHING. In addition, for the building of roads, flyovers and bypasses, there is a mass and consistent need of crushed stone across the country. Several projects are in progress and are being commenced shortly which will have high demand of crushed stone all over the country. In order to make up the backlog and meet the projected requirements for the next 20 years, overall housing construction has to raise 500,000 housing units per annum. This process leads to construction of roads, bridges, new houses , markets , etc resultantly gear up construction activities and more use of crushed stones. The aforementioned facts and statistics provide enough evidences, assuring a steep and continuous growth vis a vis investment opportunity in the STONE CRUSHING business. 1.3 Need of the Project The project proponent has existing Stone Crushing activity in the mining lease as explorations have shown that these deposits occur in the subject lease area. The mining production is covered under the Ministry of Environment & Forests Notification 2006.
