Ganesh Shetty Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry Udupi District CHAPTER – 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Sri. Ganesh Shetty is proposing a Building Stone quarry, in an area of 1-00acres of Govt. Land bearing Sy. No. 382/1, 385/1 of Santhur Village, Udupi Taluk & District, Karnataka. The above said quarry is an operating and it is proposed to quarry about 12,000 Tons per Annum of Building Stone from the quarry. In accordance with the Office Memorandum No. L-11011/47/2011-IA.II(M) dated 18th May 2012, issued by the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India and the EIA Notification 2006, Sri. Ganesh Shetty is submitting the Form-I (Revised) along with Pre-Feasibility Report of the proposed activity, Approved Modified Mining Plan (by Dept. of Mines & Geology, Govt. of Karnataka), Land Documents, Environmental Management Plan (Revised) etc. to State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Karnataka for issuing Environmental Clearance for the proposed quarrying activity. 1.2 LOCATION OF THE PROJECT The proposed Building Stone quarry will be from a Govt. Land bearing Sy. No. 382/1, 385/1 an extent of 1-00Acre. The chosen land, belongs to Santhur Village in Udupi Taluk & District. 1.3 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROJECT The present project of Building Stone quarrying in a Govt. Land having an extent of 1-00 Acres with a capacity of 12,000 Tons per Annum has the main advantage of availability of the rocky terrain. The location of the quarry is near to Santhur Village in Udupi Taluk & District. Further the Proposed Project has chosen to adopt “OPEN CAST” Method by Semi-mechanized quarrying, an already proven environment friendly process, which will be a safe bet on the investment as well as returns on investment, & for environmental protection & pollution prevention. 1 Sri. Ganesh Shetty Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry Udupi District 1.4 ADMINISTRATIVE & LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND As per the latest Office Memorandum No. L-11011/47/2011-IA.II(M) dated 18th May 2012 issued by Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF), Government of India and the EIA Notification of the MoEF dated 14.09.2006 (amended in 2009), any new Mining or Quarrying activity shall not be undertaken in any part of India unless it is accorded environmental clearance by the concerned State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), in accordance with the procedures specified in this Notification. As per the procedure, all quarries or mining of minor minerals proposals with an extent of less than 5 Hectares of activity area, in any part of India or expansion or modernization of any existing mine/ quarry, shall apply in prescribed Form, along with necessary documentation like Pre-Feasibility Report, Approved Mining Plan, Location Map, Land documents, Mine Notification Copy, Environmental Management Plan (EMP) etc.. Accordingly, this EMP for the proposed quarrying activities of Sri. Ganesh Shetty has been prepared for the perusal of SEIAA/ SEAC. 1.5 EMP FORMAT The present report is based on compilation of the secondary data available for the proposed project site & its surroundings, a description of the production process, preparation of environment management plan and disaster management plan. The contents of the report have been organized in following Five (05) chapters: Chapter-1 - Introduction This chapter provides background information of the project, brief description of the area, significance of the project and format of the report. Chapter-2 - Project Details This chapter deals with the proposed quarry location, machinery used for quarrying, infrastructure requirements etc. 2 Sri. Ganesh Shetty Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry Udupi District Chapter-3 : Environmental Conditions In this chapter, the climatological conditions of the proposed area, present environmental conditions etc. are presented. Chapter-4: Environment Management Plan (EMP) This chapter provides environment management plan aimed at minimizing the adverse environmental impacts due to proposed activity. The impacts along with the mitigative/ control measures are elaborated. The Monitoring programme of various environmental attributes has also been included. Chapter-5 : Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan This chapter deals with possible hazards associated with the proposed activity. This also includes the proposed mitigation measures for the identified hazards. 3 Sri. Ganesh Shetty Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry Udupi District CHAPTER – 2 PROJECT DETAILS 2.0 INTRODUCTION Sri. Ganesh Shetty is operating Building Stone quarry for extraction of Building Stone Blocks of various sizes to cater to the demands of the domestic as well as export market. The said Quarry is an new quarry and is spread over an extent of 1-00 Acres in a Govt. Land bearing Sy. No. 382/1, 385/1 of Santhur Village, Udupi Taluk & District, Karnataka. PROJECT SITE DETAILS v Sri. Ganesh Shetty is operating Building Stone quarry, in an area of 1-00acre of Govt. Land. v The geographical details of the quarry site are as under: Point Latitude Longitude A N 13o09’17.50” E 74o50’22.27” B N 13o09’18.22” E 74o50’23.86” C N 13o09’15.62” E 74o50’25.48” D N 13o09’15.29” E 74o50’23.49” v Details of the surrounding environmental features are given under Chapter-3 2.1 DETAILS ABOUT THE PROJECT 2.2.1 Cost of the Project: The total cost of the proposed Building Stone quarrying activity is estimated as Rs. 13.00 Lakhs, of which approx. Rs.1-3Lakhs is towards the pollution control. Most of the mechanical equipment will be outsourced. 4 Sri. Ganesh Shetty Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry Udupi District 2.2.2 Raw Materials Requirement The proposed activity itself is quarrying of Building Stone, which will be the raw material for subsequent activities. Hence, there is no requirement of any other raw materials. 2.2.3 Description of the Process: In the above mentioned Govt.Land (Sy. No No. 382/1, 385/1 of Santhur Village, Udupi Taluk & District, Karnataka) quarrying of Building Stone will be carried-out by open cast mining and semi-mechanization method by using Drilling machine, Blasting, excavators, dumpers and water tanker. As the rock is exposed to open sky, open cast quarrying will be sufficient. To achieve the required level of Building Stone production, it requires 1 Tractor Moulded Compressor, 2 jack hammer, 3 Tippers & 1 Air Compressor. Transportation of quarried material will be made through hired trucks to the dispatching points. The flow diagram of various activities involved in the quarrying of Building Stone is shown below: DRILLING DISLODGING QUARRY & BLASTING TRANSPORT LOADING Drilling: Drilling for development and production is largely by pneumatic as well as by hydraulic means supplied by compressor of different capacities are used. 32mm diameter holes are drilled ranging from 60 Cm. to 6.00 m with the number of holes depending on the spacing and burden. Drilling is also done while dressing the block to their final form. 5 Sri. Ganesh Shetty Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry Udupi District Loading: the Building Stone dimensional stone blocks, which produced from the quarry, are loaded on the trucks by 20 tones crane at the stockyards. Whereas the waste generated is mucked by hydraulic excavator and loaded on to 25 tones dumpers. Transport: Transportation of the product within the quarry area will be done by using excavators, cranes, tippers etc. The quarry waste and other over burden will be transported to the waste dumping yard by using trucks/ tippers. The finished blocks will be stored at the stock yards earmarked. The material will be transported to its designated place, by hired trucks. 2.2.4 Water requirement Water will not be utilized for any of the quarrying and related activities. Water will only be required to meet the drinking and sanitation needs of employees and visitors. The estimated water requirement for the proposed quarry will be about 180 liters/ day, for drinking and sanitation requirements and about 2,150 liters/day for other purposes like drilling, dust suppression etc., which will be met from tankers purchased locally. 2.2.5 Power The power required for the operation of the proposed unit has been estimated as 20 KW and will be drawn from the nearest Substation. In addition, provision has been made for a 20 KVA D G set for meeting emergency power requirements. 2.2.6 Manpower The total manpower requirement during the operational phase of the above quarry will be personnel including personnel at all levels. Local people will be employed to the maximum extent possible for skilled and unskilled categories. 6 Sri.
