Geology of the Area

The proposed permit quarry area is Existing Quarry. Mining will be done with yearly permit sand most of the area is covered by Charnockite, (commercially known as Granite). Rocky out crops with soil cover Charnockite is well exposed in the working Quarry pit which is located on the North western side of the proposed quarry area. The topsoil and weathered Charnockite is having a depth persistence varying from 0.5 m to1.0 m.

The geological parameters / features of the ore body as obtained from the field mapping and exploration studies reveal the following. General strike : N-S with local variation of 100 - 150 on either side. Dip : 60 - 70° dipping NW. Length of the ore body : 100-105 m Width of the ore body : 50-55 m Depth of the ore body : 50.00 m

Exploration &Reserves

The proposed Permit quarry area is virgin area and most of the area is covered by Charnockite, (commercially known as Granite). Rocky out crops with soil cover Charnockite is well exposed in the working Quarry pit which is located on the western side of the proposed quarry area, which exposes the geological cross section clearly. Hence the deposit in the plot is well known. No exploration in the form of boreholes is carried out.

Charnockite is well exposed in form of boulder out crops and it is a Plutonic Igneous rock which is a deep seated Granulite facies of Metamorphism, the depth persistence may continue even up to100.00m and beyond. Hence no exploration is required. So no proposals are made for the same.

The said Permit area is granted for Building Stone (Granite) Quarry. Charnockite is exposed in the quarry pit and Charnockite boulder outcrops with 0.5to1.0 m thin layer of weathered Charnockite. The reserve calculated for three category 1) Geological reserves i.e. total severs available in the entire permit area. 2) Mineable reserves available for Mining withinthe ultimate pit limit after leveling the bench width and height. 3) Blocked reserves, reserves are blocked due to bench formation and boundary constrains and in Buffer Zone area. In minable reserves 95% is salable and rest 5 % will be waste. Accordingly the reserves have been estimated, the details of the same is given below: Below table shows the Charnockite / Granite reserves

Estimation of Reserves is as below:

Production &Development

The production and Overburden/Development of the plan period is 98,750 tons and 4,939 cum respectively with waste in the form of mining losses/voids etc., and is detailed below:

Quantity in Tonnes Year ROM Salable Waste Top Soil 1st Year 2017 - 18 50,000 47,499 2,521 3,500 2nd Year2018– 19 48,750 46,312 2,438 - Total 98,750 93,811 4939 3,500

Method of Quarrying

Taking into consideration geological parameters of the ore body and the geotechnical field observations made thereof it is opted to work by mechanical mode and the method is of by opencast with a bench system is adopted to work the deposit.

It is only a medium scale Building Granite quarrying. The quarrying is being done by semi mechanization mode of operation by using excavators, jack hammer drills and tippers etc. It is proposed jack hammer drills for drilling and it is not possible to drill 5 m depth, hence initially it is proposed sub level bench method keeping a sub bench height of 2.5mand at the final stage the sub benches will be merged and final bench will be maintained height of 5 m. The maximum bench height is kept 5.00 m and width 5.00 m at ultimate stage by maintaining 45 degree.

Drilling & Blasting

Since the bench height needs to be maintained 5.0 m, blast hole will be by jack hammer where the diameter is normally 32 mm and the depth of the hole is 2.5 to 2.6 m. Blasting pattern is generally square or staggered with burden ranging from 0.75 to 1.00 meters and spacing of 1.0 to1.2 meters. Usually single / double row of holes is blasted along free face to achieve optimum powder factor, best fragmentation and minimized adverse impacts on account of blasting. Maximum holes blasted per day are 30 to 40 with normal delay detonators to mitigate adverse impacts such as air blast, throw and the ground vibration. Holes are electrically detonated using electric detonators.

Nitrate mixture (Class-2) types of explosives are used for blasting with 20 to 25 percent, proportion of primer/ booster cartridges and rest as column charge. About 2 to 3 kg of explosives are loaded in 32 mm diameter holes. And powder factor ranging between 7 to 8 tons per kg of explosives is achieved.

Loading and Hauling:

Loading of the building stone blocks will be done mechanically to tippers of 10 tons capacity and transported from the quarry to the stockyard and mineral rejection/waste will also be handled mechanically. In the quarry the road will be maintained with 1 in 16 gradients. Sufficient number of bunds and parapet walls will be made all along the quarry haulage roads wherever necessary in order to maintain safe working conditions by using the waste generated during the course of quarry operations.

Solid waste Management:

Over burden and Intercalated waste is to be handled during the quarrying operations is less as the entire area is almost a rocky terrain. An estimated quantity of around 4,939 MT is required to be handled during the proposed plan period to temporarily accommodate this waste material, non- mineralized 7.5m safety zone of the lease boundary same will be utilized for formation of safety bunds all along the 7.5m safety zone, internal road maintenance &green belt works.

Hydrology:

Since Kerala falls under coastal region, Western Ghats and Malnad belt, and this state receive a copious amount of rain fall to an extent of 3,000 – 4,000 mm annually, safety and precaution of the quarry pit is very much essential. Ernakulum District has wet monsoon type of climate. The District experiences heavy rainfall during South-west monsoon followed by Northeast monsoon. During other months the rainfall considerably less. The annual rainfall ranges from 3235 to 3456mm at different places of the District.

There are no perennial water courses / bodies within the leasehold area, entire storm water flows through the minor watercourses and joins the adjoining seasonal nallahs. The drainage pattern in this area is dendritic in nature.

6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

The extent of lease area 0.5565 Ha of Private Patta land is recommended for grant and is under process at the Department of Mines &Geology. The proposed method of quarry operation will be semi mechanized method of opencast Quarry with jackhammer drilling &blasting with tipper/tractors for internal transport. The lease area does not have any public roads, railway lines, telephone lines, public buildings etc.

Present infrastructure will meet the requirement of the project. The conditions of the roads in the buffer zone are unlikely to be impacted due to the proposed medium scale expansion. The project authorities in association with the adjacent quarry owners &district administration will also contribute to development &maintenance of roads.

Social Infrastructure

The quarry lease area is easily accessible in all seasonal conditions. The quarry lease area is around 10.8 kms distance from SH-1(Main Central Road) and NH 544- Kochi-Salem National Highway- 20.1 km, Aluva- Munnar road-12 km, Nedumbassery- Kodaikanal road- 12.2 km, Vallom- Panamkuzhi road Road- 2.4 km ,Kombanad- Alattuchira road- 3.9 km, Kuruppampady-Panamkuzhy road-4.4 km, Kalady-Malayattoor Road- 5.5 km. The nearest rail head on Broad Gauge is Angamaly railway station, which is at a distance of 21.3 kms and the nearest Air port is Nedumbassery International Air Port (Cochin) about 19.5 kms and Harbour is Kochi

Drinking Water Management

There are no Water courses within or adjacent to the quarry lease and hence there is no possibility of disturbance &rainwater will continue to flow in the same direction as it is in existence. Since the water is not withdrawn (from any source outside the lease area) for quarry purposes for quarrying operations no adverse impact is foreseen on the existing water regime. The rainwater stored in the pits shall be utilized for mitigating dust and other activities.

The surface water in the buffer zone is in the form of seasonal rainfall and the ground water bodies encountered below 20-25m depth in the area from the surface level. The area is small; so far no report on hydrological studies has been carried out in the area under question. There is no potential of acid mine drainage. The drinking water is available from nearby bore wells and water can be stored into sintex tanks. During the course of quarry operation no diversion of water course is considered as it doesn’t exists.

Sewage System

The existing watercourses shall not be disturbed and rain water will continue to flow in the same direction. Retain walls constructed by the side of the O.B.Dumps, water will percolate in the premises of the quarry area. There is no generation of domestic sewage.

Industrial Waste Management

There is no generation of affluent/toxic substance; hence treatment of quarry water doesn’t arise.

Solid Waste management

Power requirement and supply

There are no power supply lines passing near to the proposed site. The source of power is Solar only. The Solar power uses for only office purposes. There will not be any requirement of power supply for the project. The quarry activities are envisaged to be carried out only during day time for drilling, loading, unloading by excavators & with tippers for transport & all the equipment shall be operated with diesel as motive power.

7. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT PLAN

Surface Quarry will make alteration in the area by way of excavation and surface dumps. This will lead to water pollution, silting of agricultural lands; air pollution etc if proper care is not taken. The primary objectives of reclamation are to restore the affected area to the original state as near as possible.

The various reclamation proposals planned during the plan period as well rest of the quarry periods such as road working benches with safe angle of slope, installation of effective drainage system, prevention of erosion and excessive run off &re-vegetation or afforestation. 15

As far as quarry area is concerned, so far none of the proposed quarry area is matures or completely exhausted as this is a permit in the process of grant. Hence, the measures like retention walls, drainage system and afforestation works etc., shall be taken up.
