F-13 Sri Angara Rajesh Form-1 IV. Proposed Terms of Reference Environment Management Plan and Mitigation Plan: The proposed project is opencast method granite quarry lease area of 4.965 ha located in Survey No. 218 & 286, Thotakurapalem Village, Ravikamatham Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, Andhra Pradesh. The project authorities obtained quarry lease notice from Department of Mines and

Geology. Hence it is proposed to prepare an Environment Management Plan under B2 category. The Environment Management Plan shall identify typical impacts due to semi mechanized mining and a mining specialist shall work closely with the engineering team/technical consultants to suggest practicable measures to avoid or mitigate the impact. The mitigation of environmental impacts will be by three mechanisms. =>Introduction of mitigation features through the engineering practices. =>Implementation of environmental controls during construction and operation. =>Legislative control involving compliance with Indian environmental laws. The Environmental management plan shall include an estimate of capital and recurring costs of mitigation measures and will identify the institutional framework for implementation. Monitoring Plan: Having identified the significant environmental impacts that are likely to arise as a result of the project, the project team shall specify what monitoring is required during the various phases of the project cycle. The monitoring plan will identify parameters and frequency of monitoring and responsible organization. I hereby give the undertaking that data and information given in the application and enclosures are true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I am aware that if any part of the data and information submitted is found to be false or misleading at any stage, the project will be rejected and clearance give, if any to the project will be revoked at our risk and cost.

Drilling Drilling plays vital role in determining the size and shape of rough blocks ie., 2m x 2m cross section with a bench height of 6m. Drilling Pattern is important in developing a working face and also preparing the rough blocks suitable for their use in appropriate processing units. There are no important places in and around the area. Drill-Hole patterns for primary and secondary with Uniform single line equidistant holes (line drilling) will be deployed for separation of blocks from mother rock. In the case of sheet rock the primary drilling will be in the form of equidistant vertical holes to take out blocks of Gang Saw. Drilling Parameters i. Drill holes diameter: 32 mm up to 9 m Long ii. Depth and inclination of the holes: Generally drilled vertically in an alignment, however in primary cutting in the absence of sheet joints to develop bottom level horizontal holes also be drilled. iii. Spacing and Burden: 0.3 m X 1.6 m iv. Explosive type: Not Applicable. The applicant proposes to use Expansive powder will be used for splitting the rocks.

ANNEXURE – IV Solid Wastes Generation and Management Plan During the five years operations a total rock mass of 134412 m3 will be excavated and 26882.4 m3 of granite blocks will be recoverable from this rock mass and remaining material of about 107529.6 m3 will go as mineral waste. The waste material will be shapes of cobble stones, building stones and pavement stones. The maximum waste will be utilization of available natural mineral and adopt value to increase the market for the colour granite products in various kinds and shapes. Dump Area The waste generated during plan period will be dumped in SE side of the lease area over an extent of about 0.5 ha to a height of 30 m. The waste will be kept aside for further value addition of the mineral in the shapes of cobble stones, building stones, pavement stones and finally left over waste will be re-handled for backfilling during the Conceptual Plan period.
