6.0 Proposed Infrastructure______

6.1. General: To carry-out quarrying of building stone, various infrastructure facilities are required for the main activity as well as for environmental protection & pollution prevention. The basic infrastructure facilities that are required for the proposed quantity are described below. 6.2 Site Services: Statutory buildings like office building, rest shelters, first aid room etc. shall be constructed in a semi-permanent construction using brick walls and tin sheet roofing. Drinking water is being provided in well maintained tank near to the rest shelter. In addition, there will be proper sanitation facilities, including a septic soak pit, for the discharge of the sewage from the toilets. 6.3 Site Services: Generally building stone quarrying is exposed to cause air pollution leading to breathing problems. Activities like drilling, excavation and movement of heavy vehicles generate dust and aggravate air pollution in addition to noise pollution. For mitigating thee adverse impacts of thee above, suitable control measures are planned, which are more detailed in the enclosed Environment Management Plan. For activities like drilling, dust suppression etc. water will be required, also for meeting the drinking and sanitary needs of the employees / workers, water will be required. For the disposal of sanitary waste water (sewage), septic tank with soak pit is constructed at a suitable place within close vicinity of the proposed area. To take care of the occupational health and safety of workers at site, engaged at strategic locations/ dust generation points like loading and unloading points, dust masks would be provided. Dust masks would prevent inhalation of irrespirable particulate matter (RPM) thereby reducing the risk of lung diseases

15 and other respiratory disorders. Regular health monitoring of workers will be carried out. The solid waste that is likely to be generated from the proposed activity will be mainly from the excavation process. This will be in the form of flakes of irregular shape. This will be collected and broken into pieces and can be sold as aggregates for civil works, because of its hard nature. Most of the area is of hard rock and the present proposed working is confined to sheet rocks. Less than 5% of materials are being treated as waste in this area. The rejected waste material is stacked in the waste dump as shown in the mining plan. A JCB will be used to remove the over burden from the surface. When the dump reaches optimum height, suitable greenery will be developed on this dump to stabilize them. In addition as a proactive measure, the following activities will be initiated: Ø The rainwater accumulating in the work area will be collected and will be drained-out to the downstream properly with the guide drains, so that it can be used by the downstream fields for the agriculture and allied purpose. Ø To avoid soil erosion, rain water entering in to the mine pit, carryover of the material with rain water, suitable garland drains will be provided all along the active mine area.

7.0 Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R & R) Plan______7.1 General: The building stone quarrying area is located near Vitla Mudunur Village of Bantwal Taluk, Dakshina Kannada District of Karnataka State. The proposed site is about 1.50 Km. from the nearest human habitation etc. Hence the R & R plan for the proposed quarry site is limited to the environmental protection and other social measures planned as a part of the proposed activity. 7.2 Human Settlements: There is no human settlement within the core zone. 7.3 Socio Economic Benefits: Spurt in industrialization and mining activities have invariably brought a drastic change in the environment including the society connected with region. Mostly remote areas tucked away from urbanization and influence of modern civilization fall within the limits of mine development. A natural corollary to this the socioeconomic aspects of the local inhabitants who have dwelling this region for generations, get suddenly and probably a radical change, consequent to their abrupt exposure to the mining. The local people will get employment opportunities, better medical and educational facilities etc. mainly due to the mining operations from this project. In addition to this the literary rate and better living standards shall increase due to the enhanced earning capacity of the villagers. 7.4 Storage and Preservation of the Top Soil: There is a little soil cover existing discontinuously on the surface of the proposed lease area with exposures of building stone. Whenever the top soil is generated shall be collected and stacked separately for use in afforestration. 7.5 Reclamation of Land: Land restoration or reclamation of the area is very essential in any mining industry. Proper measures adopted during restoration will control most of the adverse environmental impacts of mining and also improve the aesthetic beauty of the area. Due to the mining activities in this area, the profile of the ground

17 will change due to formation of pits. At the end of the mining operations, all solid wastages generated will be used in back filling of the quarry pits in order to bring back original contour of the terrain as for as possible. The separately stacked top soil will be used to spread over on the compacted back filled area in order to facilitate the re-vegetation process, which in turn controls silt flow towards the downstream. 7.6. Environmental Aspects: The environmental aspects associated with the proposed activity, along with the suggested mitigation/ control measures are more clearly elaborated in the Environmental Management Plan. 7.7 Implementation of EMP & Monitoring Program: The environmental management plan is detailed on the basis of impact assessment. Control and mitigation measures for the adverse impacts are envisaged. As the major environmental attributes have been confined to the project area alone, implementation of the proposed control measures and monitoring thereof will be undertaken on the regional basis. The building stone quarry will ensure the implementation of the measures within the mining area and carryout efficient monitoring. In order to implement the measures suggested for mitigating the adverse impacts on the environment, it is suggested to monitor the environmental parameters regularly.
