Indicate proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed, and the expected life of the mine and the year from which effected:

(i). Proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed: It is proposed to produce an average 8246 and 7855 tons / annum when the quarry is fully developed in both the leases.

(ii). Mineable reserves: Though the reserves are quite attractive, the Mineable reserves will be reduced due to formation of benches towards boundary line, this can be solved by having suitable arrangements with adjacent land owner for full exploitation of the reserves, meanwhile the reserves have been blocked in 7.5 meters safety barrier below the ground level.

Total Mineable reserves:

Total Geological Reserves - Mineable reserves= Non Mineable Reserves (in Cum). New lease - 48672 – 42900 = 5772 Cum. 21

QL DK-336 – 44000-42400=1600 Cum. (iii) Anticipated life of the Mine: the quantities of Mineable reserves estimated are total reserves minus non Mineable reserves and already extracted, considered as (economical) marketable reserves. The Mineable reserves of 105963 and 39273 Tons are available in the lease areas. The average annual production is 8246 and 7855Tons and thus the life of the mine is 12 years for both the leases.

f. Attach a note furnishing a conceptual mining plan for the entire lease period (for “B” category mines) and up to the life of the (for “A” category mines) based on the geological, mining and environmental considerations: The Granitic gneiss as building stone deposit in the quarry area is envisaged to be worked by forming mining benches of 6 meters height from the ground level and the width shall me more than the height of the benches with a general pit slope of 60o. The ultimate pit limit is marked as shown on the quarry Closure Plan (Plate- 9). However, when the granitic gneiss deposit is proved to full depth, the closure plan will be modified. The quarrying is proposed to be taken with the full capacity of development and production of on an average of about 8246 and 7855 Tons per annum, during the proposed closure plan period. Any modifications in the in the quantity of production will be intimated to Department of Mines and Geology. The mined out pits after extraction of the building material, will be reclaimed by suitable reclamation and afforestration techniques and also by back filling the pits by the overburden. The design and layout of the quarry benches is shown on the above referred plan. During the closure plan period, the anticipated production for the next 5 years period shall be 41229 and 39273 Tons.

g. Open Cast Mines: (i). Describe briefly giving salient features of the mode of working (mechanized, semi-mechanized, manual): The extraction of building material proposed to be worked by semi-mechanized method of working. In view of the prepared quarry plan production of granite, it is planned to 22 operate by deploying machineries for development and production, the separation of granite based on physical parameters manually with conventional tools like crowbars, hammers, pickaxe etc. and mechanically using drilling equipment’s, tippers will be used for quarrying work. The parameters will thus the bench height of about 3 m and width is more than height of bench and jackhammer drilling carried with dust proof drilling machineries. As proposed above, the development of latest mechanization plays a very important role in the development quarry and production program. The quarrying operation in notified area planned to be of open cast and semi-mechanized. The recovery of building stone is generally high i.e. more than 95%. It requires machinery for increased production.

(ii) Describe briefly the layout of the mine workings, the layout of the faces and sites for disposal of overburden/ waste: A reference to the plan enclosed under 4 (b) and 4 (d) will suffice: During the plan period the development and production will be carried out as shown in the 5 years production and development plan Plate 5. The quarrying is done manually and semi-mechanized (open cast method).

ii. Air Quality: The mining operations will be by the manual method. The workforce will expose to the air is due to dust which gets air borne due to vehicular movements and dumping only.

iii. Water Quality: During rainy season silt is likely to get mixed with rain water and flow to the seasonal nala flowing through the area. There are no toxic elements discharges into the drains from the mining operations.

iv. Noise level: The area is more than 150 M. from the village roads where the traffic is very low. The mining digging and traffic are the causes of increasing noise level.

33 v. Water regime: As the area is a raising ground, there is no danger envisaged to water regime by this quarry area.

vi. Socio Economics: The main occupation of the surrounding people is agriculture and allied activities, the mining activity in this belt will benefit to the local people both directly and indirectly. The direct beneficiaries will be those who get employed in the quarry as skilled and un-skilled workers. The indirect beneficiaries will be those who open small business to sell goods required by the residents whose “per capita” income will be enhance by the mining activity, and thereby their purchasing power. In the long run a lot of social goods is expected in the comparatively backward area when the inhabitant will be sent their children to school. vii. Historical Monuments: There are no historical monuments in or around the area and hence there will be no impact due to mining. Because of small scale mining there will be no effect.

C. ATTACH AN ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (SUPPORTED BY APPROPRIATE PLANS AND SECTIONS) DEFINING THE TIME BOUND ACTION PROPOSED TO BE TAKEN WITH SEQUENCE AND TIMING IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS (OR DIAGRAMS SHOULD BE

USED)

i. Temporary storage and utilization of top soil: The soil generated is mixed with pebbles etc. can be used for road maintenance. The soil useful for agriculture, afforestration, trenches, whenever excavated will be stored separately in the yard identified within the lease hold to height of maximum of 0.06 M to keep their microbial activities safe.

34 ii. Year wise proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining activities during the 1st to 5 years: No reclamation is proposed in this plan period because the mining will be continued further depths from present pit bottom. iii. Program of afforestration. Year wise for the initial five years: It is proposed to develop a green belt in proportion of the non-mineralized area and 7.5 m. buffer zone of the lease boundary. In addition, the place around the haul road and backfilling area shall have plantation at the conceptual period. Every year it is proposed to carry out afforest ration over 0.058 Ha. by planting 200 saplings per annum around the quarry area. The species chosen for green belt are fast growing good canopy and dense leaf density, eco-friendly commercial/ species and some ornamental plants to give good aesthetic. iv. Stabilization and Vegetation of dumps: There is no generation of overburden / waste in the proposal plan period. Hence, there is no need of stabilization of the dumps. v. Measures to control erosion/ sedimentation of water courses: There is no surface erosion in the subject area because the surface area is exposed by the granite. vi. Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Since there are no mine waters or ground waters, the proposal of pumping out or any sort of treatment and disposal of water from the quarry does not arise. vii. Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: No adverse effects are anticipated on water regime. viii. Protective measures from ground vibrations / air blast caused by blasting: There will be drilling and blasting is proposed in this area. ix. Measures for protecting historical monuments and rehabilitation of human settlements: There are no historical monuments are located close by and hence need for protection does not arise.

x. Socioeconomic benefits arising out of mining: Few labors will get employment and the state Government and Village Panchayath will get royalty due to mining activity.

3.2 Mineral beneficiation: There is no mineral beneficiation. Man power will be used for producing material. The question of tailing from the tailing ponds does not arise. Only the material removed from the quarry will be transported from the quarry to the respective stock yard, destination.

3.3 Review of Implementation of Mining Plan/ Scheme including five years progressive closure Plan up to the final closure of the mine: The various proposals made in the approved mining plan for the 5 years period has been carried out to avoid environmental problems in the area.

3.4 Abstract of the proposals for Protecting of Environment: Temporary storage and Utilization of Top soil: The soil generated is mixed with pebbles etc., can be used for road maintenance. The soil useful for agriculture, afforestration and trenches, whenever excavated will be stored separately in the yard identified within the leasehold to a height of Maximum 0.5 M to keep their microbial activities safe.

3.5 Quarrying and allied activities: As per the proposed production and development plan for plan period area for quarrying 0.2024+0.2024 Ha, Mineral storage area is 0.0200 Ha. The Green belt around the lease area is about 0.2913 Ha.

3.6 Year wise proposal for Reclamation: Since Granite deposits are likely to continue, concurrent reclamation is not feasible and after working pits are exhausted, than concurrent backfilling will be proposed. The mined out areas as shown in the relevant year wise production and development plans will be not matured enough for reclamation. Hence, the backfilling on worked out pits for reclamation program is not envisaged presently. Suitable afforestration technique will be adopted for reclamation after winning of the mineral. Proper fencing will be provided all round in order to prevent accidental falling of animals and human trespassing in to the working areas.

3.7 Afforestration program: It is proposed to develop a green belt in portion of the non-mineralized area and 7.5 M buffer zone of the lease boundary. In addition, the place around haul road and backfilling area shall have plantation at the conceptual period. Every year it is proposed to carryout afforestration over 0.058 Ha. For planting 200 saplings per annum. The species chosen from green belt are fast growing with good canopy and dense leaf density, eco- friendly commercial species and some ornamental plants to give good aesthetic look are shown on Environment Management Plan Plate No.9.

3.8 Stabilization of dumps: There is no generation of overburden / waste in the proposal plan period. Hence, no need of stabilization of the dumps. Measures to control erosion / sedimentation of water courses: There is no surface erosion in the lease area because; the surface area is exposed by the granite.

Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Since there is no mine water or ground water, the proposal of pumping out or any sort of treatment and disposal of water from the quarry does not arise. Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: No adverse effects are anticipated on water regime.

Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of the habitat: There are no historical monuments are located close by and hence need of protection does not arise.

4.0 CLOSURE PLAN: 4.1 Mined – Out Land: Reclamation of the area will not be considered during the planned period of 5 years program. In view of the above, reclamation proposed concurrent to mining and at the end of 5 years without complete extraction of ore available in the area becomes violation of MCDR. As such the program of reclamation of mine is not envisaged at this stage. After complete extraction of estimated reserves the reclamation of area of land affected by mining activities will be taken up in order to restore to its original use to the possible extent. The reclamation measures proposed will be back filling in phased program wherever it is necessary. The deep pits after completion of mining which could be serving as water ponds will not be considered for backfilling and will be left as it is after taking necessary landscaping and providing protective measures in the aspects of safety by consuming retention wall all along the lease boundary. The details of the proposed land use are given below:

4.2 Water Quality Management: Water quality is good because there is no source of pollution due to extraction of Pink Granite.

4.3 Air Quality Management: Dust generated by this quarry activity is quite less. The major source of air pollution is due to Wagon Drill drilling activity and loading of overburden / waste. The management of air quality shall be by suppression of dust by water sprinkling on haulage roads and wet drilling methods. Also in the vicinity of the area no major industries are seen and the deposit is worked on very small scale.

4.4 Noise Level and vibration: No deep drilling and blasting activity involved in quarrying operations. Only small diameter Wagon drilling is proposed for wire saw cutting. Protective ear muffs, nose masks and hand glows, safety shoes etc. are provided to reduce the effect of sound / noise and vibrations for the drill operations.

4.5 Waste Management: The generation of waste material is very less from the quarry and the same is utilized for afforestration / backfilling. 4.6 Top Soil Management: The soil likely to be generated will be pebbly soil. This will be heaped in a maximum height of 0.6 M and used in afforestration trenches. Grass will be planted to arrest erosion due to wind action. 4.7 Infrastructure: The applicant will construct temporary structure required to be maintained under statutory obligations which can be removed once the work is completed. The approach road to the mine will be made and will be maintained to meet the requirements of transportation. These are required for utilization till the end of lease period. 4.8 Disposal of quarrying machinery: There is no proposal of disposal of mining machineries during the present plan period.

5.0 SAFETY AND SECURITY: 42

The lessee will follow prevailing Mines Act., Karnataka Mines Minerals Concession Rules & Regulations etc., as well as other directions given to him time to time by the Directorate General of Mines safety. The lessee will securely fence the excavated area by barbed wire of 1.5 M height to prevent the free access and unauthorized people to the quarrying area. The lessee will appoint security persons to ensure to prevent unauthorized entry on weekly off days and during the time of discontinuation of quarrying operation.

6.0 DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT: All the safety measures during the quarrying will be taken as per the norms of DGM’s. Safety of the men and machine are most important during this quarrying activity. No danger to public life and property arises as only trucks ply from quarry site through public road. There are no water impoundments at higher levels or at lower contours.

7.0 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DUE TO TEMPORARY DISCONTINUANCE: The requisite care and maintenance procedures shall be followed during temporary discontinuance of the quarry. The notice of temporary discontinuance in prescribe forms shall be submitted to the appropriate authorities concerned in this regard with details of protection measures being taken up. Security of the working areas fencing and suitable display boards shall be put up during the temporary period of discontinuance.

8.0 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND MAN POWER RETRECHMENTS: 8.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of the continuation family occupation and scope of joining the occupation back: The locals employed are about 50%. Those who are directly

employed, they are basically from agriculture back ground, they will be put back to their original occupation. Necessary counseling will be taken care. 8.2 Compensation given to be given to the employee connecting with sustenance of him and their family members: Compensation as provided in the statue will be given, at the time of final mine / quarry closure to the eligible persons. 8.3 Satellite occupations connected to the quarrying industry-number of persons engaged therein-continuation of such business after quarry closes: Most of the satellite occupations are not fully depending up on the quarrying activity or closure of mines and the quarrying operations is small scale. So the occupations like workshops hotel and tea shops will not affect continuance their business. 8.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of mining lease area and any other remnant activities: Security and essential service to the people will continue to be employed for purely shorter term / temporary basis, where operations are discontinued for longer period, it is not continue with employment and so there will be reduced to minimum, counseling will be extended for their rehabilitation.

8.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to closure of the mine / quarry: There will be effect on their economy, communication, transportation to some extent, but still these difficulties will be manageable to large extent. The details will be given in the final mine / quarry closure plan.

9.0 ABANDONMENT / REHABILITATION COST AND COST ESTIMATION: The cost based estimation on the activities required for implementing the protective and rehabilitation measures including their maintenance and monitoring program.

10.0 TIME SCHEDULE FOR ABANDONMENT: The present plan prepared is a progressive quarry / Mine Closure Plan indicating the reclamation and rehabilitation measures being taken up simultaneously with the quarrying operations. No abandonment of quarrying activities is envisaged. The man power and other resources for implementing the protective and rehabilitation measures will be dealt in detail in the quarry closure plan to be prepared for approval before abandonment of the quarry.
