No.418, Rawada village, Parawada Mandal Pre-Feasibility Report Visakhapatnam District, Andhra Pradesh. 2.2 Brief Description of Nature of the Project The proposed project is quarrying minor mineral, ie., gravel for building stone, over the granted quarry lease area by open cast semi mechanized method. The quarried stone will be crushed to road metal of required sizes. The granted quarry lease area is 2.023 Ha and the average road metal production in the 2 years mining plan period will be 1,92,780 M3. 2.3 Need for the Project & its Importance to the Country/ Region The demand for road metal, aggregate, rock sand and building stones is increasing day by day due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and growth in infrastructure Also with the restrictions imposed by the Govt. on quarrying and transportation of river sand, the demand for manufactured sand, which is technically approved as a substitute for river sand, has increased enormously. In view of the domestic demand for road metal, the proposed project assumes importance and contributes to earnings to the state. Also it will contribute to the regional revenue by way of royalty, direct and indirect taxes. The quarrying and associated activities in the mineral rich areas increase the gains in gross domestic product (GDP). While providing direct employment to 25 people, the project will provide indirect opportunities to transporters and labor associated with it. 2.4 Demand – Supply Gap The project is envisaged to meet the demand supply gap in the local market. 2.5 Export Potential This project is conceptualized to market the road metal in domestic market.

No: 418 of Rawada village, Parawada Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, Andhra Pradesh state. 3.3 Details of alternative sites considered and basis for selecting the site. As the project is site specific, no alternative sites have been considered. The basis for selection of the site is availability of road metal stone in huge deposits in the lease area and the quarry site being away from habitation so as not to cause any environmental impacts. 3.4 Size & Magnitude of Operation The details of magnitude of operations are as follows: The granted quarry lease area is 2.023 Ha. Total mineable road metal stone reserves available are assessed as 4,60,977 M3 over the quarry life period of 5 years. The average production is 96,390 M3 / Annum. The production of road metal in the 3yrs plan period will be 1, 92,780 M3. No waste will be generated from the quarry. 3.5 Project Description with Process Details The project is quarrying road metal stone by open cast semi mechanized method. M/s.
