(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region:

3

1) Charnockite blue metal is quarried for producing crusher aggrigates to the nearby crushers and Gravel is quarried and used for foundation filling purpose and road purposes. 2) After quarrying the entire reserves the mined out area will be used as water reservoir to have an artificial recharge factor to the nearby wells. 3) The charnockite blue metal is hard and compact in nature. It can be crushed only in crushers for producing aggregates. 4) No damage to land is caused, no reclamation or back filling is required. 5) Wet drilling method will be adopted to suppress dust during drilling and during vehicle movement the roads will be made arrangement for water sprinkling to suppress the dust. The drillers and dumper operators will be provided with safety equipments.

(iv) Demand-Supply Gap The demand for charnockite blue metal depends upon requirement of boulders to crush from the nearby crushers and Gravel is quarried and used for foundation filling purpose and road purposes.

(v) Export Possibility Charnockite blue metal is a low cost high volume product and therefore the proponent would like to sell out the entire charnockite blue metal to the nearby crushers.

Form I and Pre-Feasibility report is required to get Environmental Clearance for the project from DEIAA. EIA Report identifies all of the issues and technical requirements of a proposed operation, with particular attention to potential Environmental, Health and Safety, Social and Economic Impacts. The purpose of EIA is to ensure the protection and conservation of the environment and natural resources including human health aspects against uncontrolled development. The long-term objective is to ensure a sustainable economic development that meets present needs without compromising future generations ability to meet their own needs. EIA is an important tool in the integrated environmental management approach. The aim of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to enable the approving authority, the public, local and central government and the developer to properly consider the potential environmental consequences of a proposal, and to make recommendations to reduce the environmental consequences if necessary. It is important to provide sufficient information for the approving authority to make a decision on whether to approve a proposal and if so, under what conditions. The EIA provides the basis for sound ongoing environmental management.

Initially mineral water will be provided by purchasing from markets and for permanent solution a bore well will be drilled to provide water supply and for water sprinkling. (vii) Sewerage system: No sewage will be generated from this project. There is no Sewage System available in the Mining proposed area. (viii) Industrial waste management: There is no industrial waste . The ground water table in this area is more than 40 to 45 meters. There are also no villages near by the area. Hence blasting through vibration will not affect the environmental conditions near by the area besides blastings will be performed only for small diameter holes of 33 mm dia. Hence there will not be much noise , ground vibration, water problem to the nearby villages. Sources of Air Pollution

S.No. Air Pollutants Activities in Mines

1 Drilling, loading and unloading Permissible limit 2 Haul Road Permissible limit 3 Transportation Permissible limit

For safety purpose while drilling wet drilling method will be adopted for the suppression of dust. The haul roads will be made water sprinkling during transportation.

Air Pollution Control Measures

For safety purpose while drilling wet drilling method will be adopted for the suppression of dust. The haul roads will be made water sprinkling during transportation.

Mine Drainage

From the local enquiry the ground water table is ranging from 40m to 45m there will be ground water problem during quarrying. During rainy seasons the ground water and rain water will be pumped out using 5 hp diesel pumps.

13

Noise Levels

The noise produced during blasting and loading will be under permissible limit. Before blasting all safety precautions will be taken in a radial distance of 500meter. After obtaining clearance for non availability of persons and blasting activities will be performed

Vibration Levels

To minimise ground vibration delay electric detonators will be used during blasting.

(ix) Solid waste management:

The solid waste will be removed from quarry area after making necessary drilling and blasting. The reject boulders will be used for pitching and making stabilisation of ramps in the near by crusher areas.

7. REHABILITATION & RESETTLEMENT PLAN (R&R Plan)

(i) Policy to be adopted (central/state) in respect of the project affected persons including home ousters, land ousters, and landless labours. a) PAP There is no hutment in the lease area. No human being will be displaced from the project area so no person will be affected contrary local people will get job opportunities and better facilities. There is no rehabilitation & resettlement of people is required. b) Mine Closure Once the process of economical extraction of a mine is complete there is need for scientific mine closure which will not only restore ecology and regenerate bio mass but also take into account the socio-economic aspects of such closure. When mining activities are carried out, mining communities get established and closure of the mine means not only loss of jobs but also disruption of community life. At the mine closure, it will be orderly and systematic and so planned as to help the workers and the dependent community to rehabilitate them without undue hardship. The mined out area after closure of mine will be used as a water reservoir.

8. PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL AND FINAL RECOMENDATIONS

(i) Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people including tribal population, if any in the area.

Social Benefits:

Mining in the project area will provide employment to nearby villagers. This employment will help in raising the standard of living on the people in the area. The mining activity in this belt will benefit the locals both directly and indirectly. The direct beneficiaries will be those who get employed in the mines 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 enhanced by the mining activity, and thereby their purchasing power. In the long run a lot of social goods are expected in the comparatively backward area when the inhabitants will be able to send their children to school, the change, though slow, is bound to be perceptible.

Financial Benefits:

It is clear from the objectives of the project that it will have significant positive impacts since it will: Provide filling material to the society at large. Give a boost to economic development in the region in the longrun. Make a significant contribution to the construction and infrastructure sector of India.

16

The Management will ensure good production and in turn there will be good revenue to the Government of Tamilnadu and Government of India through taxes. The industry is an asset to the nation. This project is planned keeping in view the above mentioned advantages.

The quarrying operations will be carried out scientifically and systematically with an integrated mining plan and mine design may not disturb the environment and ecology of the area.
