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.
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
M/s. Vision labs Page No. 10 Sri.PR.Subramanian Colour Granite Quarry Environment Management Plan
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 (<25kmph) 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
There are no major water bodies found at a distance 1.0 km from the proposed quarry. Pungamma cheruvu (Seasonal water course) is found at a distance of 4.5 km from the quarry as the proponent is allocated dump area to accumulate the waste generated from the quarry and retaining wall also will be provided so there is less impact anticipated on the due to proposed quarry.
The rainwater flows through the slopes of the area and drained off through nalas.
M/s. Vision labs Page No. 11 Sri.PR.Subramanian Colour Granite Quarry Environment Management Plan
The ground water table in this belt is 40 m below from the surface and since the quarry depth is 6 m 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.
10.0 Water Requirement

Cranes will do the loading of blocks. The materials while transporting do not pose any hazard. Sufficient parking facilities will be provided for vehicles
M/s. Vision labs Page No. 13 Sri.PR.Subramanian Colour Granite Quarry Environment Management Plan
loading and unloading of material. Safety signs will be displayed inside and outside the mine to avoid road accidents.
16.0 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.
16.1 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.
16.2 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.
17.0 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 sapling. Fruit growing trees are proposed to be planted.
