3.4.1 Topography

The Quarry lease applied area is not marked by noteworthy physiographic imprints, like elevated mound; the gabbro is exposed to surface level only. The area gently sloping towards North-Eastern side and this region is characterized by tropical climate.

3.4.2 Regional Geology

The quarry lease area applied forms part of Nuzendla division in the western side of the Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh. It consists of Granites and granitie Gneisses and is traversed by Gabbro and numerous veins of pegmitote, quartz and epidote. The granites are of grey and white types. The granite gneisses show alternate bands of mafic and felsic minerals. Gabbro occurs in the form of sheet. Quartz veins are of ribbon type having thickness ranging from 5 to 50 cm over a length of up to 100 cm. The thickness of pegmatite ranging from 10 cm to 1.0 m. They consist of quartz, feldspar (mostly microcline), muscovite, phogophite, biotite, and tourmaline and apatite minerals.

3.4.3 Local Geology

The gabbro cut across the granite gneiss, which corresponds to the peninsular gneiss is consciously banded, the light bands being rich in quartz and feldspar and the dark bands in mica and hornblende. The country rock exposed towards south isde of the gabbro. The trend of the gabbro in the NE-SW direction. The length of the gabbro is 175 mtrs and width is 57 mtrs.The black granite has invariably sharp

Page No. 5 M/s. N.R.Global Granites- Black Granite Quarry -3.03 Ha. Pre-Feasibility Report contacts with the host rock.The gabbro grain size is very fine grained in the central parts and fine grined at its contacts with the country rock I.e.granite gneiss.

3.4.4 Litho Units

The mineral available in the quarry lease pplied area is a melanocratic rock with granular texture, compact in nature. It occurs as a differentiated product of an igneous intrusive. Generally, black in colour. Gabbro belongs to the hypa byssal type of rocks. They are equivalent to gabbro. In the export building trade industry these rocks are called black granite. It is only a trade name.Gabbro differs from granite mineralogiclly texturally and in origion. 3.4.5 Reserves

To cut down cost and for achieving targeted production of granites, the operations are planned to be carried out partly manually and partly by deploying in machinery. The use of various machinery listed is explained under method of working. Poclain is to be deployed for over burden removal. The pneumatic tools jack hammers etc. will be deployed for shot hole drilling and for drilling in sheet rock for taking out large blocks of granite.

Overburden mining consists of soil, hard morum and weathered rock. The weathered rock sand and useless boulders can be drilled by jack hammers to fragment them into pieces to facilitate their removal. The excavator will load the waste into the tipper and then transported to the dump yard. After removal of O.B workable boulders of medium and small size are exposed. These boulders are split into two or three pieces, so that blocks can be made out of them. Usually the advantages of natural joint present in the boulders are taken for splitting them. A line of drill holes are placed in a series of holes drilled for splitting the boulder.

The separate pieces are examined for defects and lines, then the block or blocks are marked in clear area and holes are drilled along the line of marking, With the

Page No. 6 M/s. N.R.Global Granites- Black Granite Quarry -3.03 Ha. Pre-Feasibility Report help of feathers and wedges and the waste portions are separated forming a rectangular blocks. A perfect block is that all sides shall make with each other 90 degrees. e) Sub‐Division of large Primary Blocks into Secondary Block:

After primary separation the rock mass will be carefully examined to avoid hair line rocks, mineral segregations and veins etc.the dressing of the rough blocks will be made by chipping the edges and geometrically equalling the edges of the block at the dressing yard. The rough blocks obtained after primary cut need to be dressed for obtaining good geometric shape. From primary blcoks to number of secondary blcoks can be made dimensional shape of 1.0 to 11.0 m3 in size, and the same measurements are 180*75*75*75 to 323*166*212 cms.

9. Anticipated Impacts & Mitigation Measures due to proposed project

The environment management plan is prepared with a view to facilitate effective environmental management of the project in general and implementation of the mitigation measures in particular. The EMP provides a delivery mechanism to address potential adverse impacts and to introduce standards of good practice to be adopted for all project works.

The anticipated impacts due to mining and allied activities are air, noise, land, water and socio-economic along with the mitigations to the extent possible are described in the following paragraphs.

9.1 Sources of Pollution and Control measures

The major sources of pollution are air and noise due to proposed mine from blasting and transportation of material to the far places.

Page No. 10 M/s. N.R.Global Granites- Black Granite Quarry -3.03 Ha. Pre-Feasibility Report

9.1.1 Air Pollution and its Mitigation

Anticipated Sources of Air Pollution

 Digging & Excavation (Dust, Non-fugitive)  Loading & unloading and Transportation by vehicles (fugitive and line sources Air Quality Management

Road - Regular repair (every 6 months) and Grading -Regular water sprinkling on haulage roads during dry conditions Drilling -Wet drilling and usage of sharper drill bits Trucks -Avoid overloading of trucks and unnecessary idling of vehicles Movement - Trucks to be covered with tarpaulin/plastic Enforcing speed limit (<25 kmph) Plantation -Green belt development and avenue plantation

9.1.2 Noise pollution and its mitigation

Sources of Noise

1. Loaded trucks movement generates 80- 84 dB (A) (2-3 trucks short time stay at mine area) 2. Digging and excavation activities - 70 dB(A) (Only during day time) 3. Blasting (Occasionally) & drilling- (89 dB(A)), blasting gives only outburst of noise (if required Blasting operations only for few minutes ) 4. Normal values when mining is not in operation (40-45 dB(A)

Control Measures

• Mining operations will be carried out during day time only and avoid inconvenience to the nearby habitations • The noise propagation values found to be less than the prescribed noise limits • Ear plugs will be provided to the noise prone areas • Blasting will be done through controlled methods (occasionally) • Vehicular maintenance will ensure less noise. • Usage of sharp teeth on the JCB will reduce noise during loading operations

9.1.3 Water Quality

Gundlakamma Reservoir is found at a distance of 4.6 km in eastern direction. As the proponent is allocated dump area to accumulate the waste generated from the

Page No. 11 M/s. N.R.Global Granites- Black Granite Quarry -3.03 Ha. Pre-Feasibility Report quarry and retaining wall also will be provided so there is less impact anticipated on the reservoir due to proposed quarry. The rainwater flows through the slopes of the area and drained off through nalas.

The ground water table in this belt is 50 m below from the surface and since the quarry depth will not reach upto this depth in the near future flooding by ground water is not anticipated. However, during rainy months, there is a possibility of wet conditions developing in the working pit. This will be minimized if not altogether eliminated by adopting simple techniques like digging trenches all round to drain off rainwater and preventing surface run off from entering and flooding working pit. The water will be pumped by using electric motor, if and when required, the mine drainage can be effectively managed and the pit kept dry to keep up the production schedule. Garland drains will be provided around the mine wherever required to arrest any soil from the mine area being carried away by the rain water

10.0 Occupational Safety and Health

 Safety precautions as per Metalliferrous mines Regulations and Mine Rules and Act shall be taken.  Minimum distance of 7.5 m will be left all along the mine lease boundary. The mined out area will be kept out of bounds for public by providing fencing.  Occupational Safety and Health to Control Exposure to Noise * Reducing the exposure time of workers to the higher noise levels * Smooth blasting techniques, special explosives and silent non-explosive demolishing agent will be used.

11.0 House Keeping

Proper house keeping and cleanliness will be maintained in the infrastructure facilities. Wet mopping will be adopted to conserve water. Sign boards will be provided in the work areas and the road and building highlighting the safety and occupational aspects.

12.0 Transport Systems

The finished product is transported by road using road trucks. The lessee will deploy tippers to transport the waste blocks, unfinished and finished blocks from quarry site to yard and trucks to transport sized dimensional blocks from yard to destination. Cranes will do the loading of blocks. The materials while transporting do not pose any hazard. Sufficient parking facilities will be provided for vehicles loading and unloading of material. Safety signs will be displayed inside and outside the mine to avoid road accidents.

13.0 Afforestation Programme and Flora-fauna

Flora and Fauna

 Due to water stress conditions and edaphic factors the biomass cover is less. Tree coverage is less and mostly herbs and shrubs are dominating.  The vegetation is very scarce. No plant species is found that is ecologically important (Rare, endangered, threatened etc.) restricted to this area.  The loss of biomass can be compensated by providing ideal conditions (proper supervision, water, fertilizer etc.) for the proposed greenbelt.  Other than domestic animals no ecologically important animals are reported in this area.

13.1 Proposed afforestation

The soil scraped from the surface will be stored temporarily along the edges of the mine till the complete extraction. This ensures proper preservation and utilization of the soil.

13.2 Proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining

The proposed mining will result in reducing the height of the area and exposing the parent rock. It will be covered with a mantle of soil to serve the dual purpose of utilization of soil and reclaiming the ground affected by mining. The reclamation will commence after the completion of mining activity.

14.0 Environmental Greening Program

Environmental greening program is an important component of the Environment Management Plan and is an imperative requirement for any major industrial activity, as per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment and forests, Govt. of India. Conceptualization, design and implementation of the proposed activity, taking into account the specific requirement of the proposed mining activity and the site conditions are presented.

Each year some of the part of the barrier zone will be subjected to afforestation and care will be taken to protect the saplings. Fruit growing trees are proposed to be planted.
