No. 38/2f,38/3 of Pathapadu Village, Vijayawada Rural Mandal, Krishna Dt, Andhra Pradesh. The quarry lease applied area is fallen onplain land, which was topo relief of 3.6 Mts above the Ground level. The lowest contour is 67 M and highest contour is 70.6 M. Regional Geology The area constitutes southernmost part of Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt (EGMB), where the belt is tapering to less than 20 km width. EGMB is trending in NNE – SSW in the area. This area EGMB mainly represent by Western zone. The succession of Eastern Ghats Super Group is as follows: Intrusive Layered Anorthosites and associated Mafics and Chromiferrous Ultra Mafics. Charnockite Group Charnokite with Mega Crystic K-Feldspar Charnockite, Two Pyroxene Granulate/ Amphibolites Khondalite Cacl – Silicate – Granulites Group Garnet – Silliminite – Quartz – Biotite – K- Feldspar Graphite Gneiss (Khondalite) Quartzite – Ganet – Silliminite. Granitoid Suite Granitoid with Mega Crystic K- Feldspar Undifferentiated (with MigmatiticDiaTectile, Augen) Porphyroblastic Granite and Gneisses Garnet – BiotiteHomophanus Granite/Gneiss Leptinite, Local Charnockite Neosomes and Relics. The Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt is fold thrust terrain, the margins defined by westerly. The Present area constitutes part of Western Charnockite zone represented mainly of Charnockite and basic granulate with minor banded iron formation. Litho logically the lease area is underlain by Charnockite, which is fresh looking, greasy, dark colored with domination of hypersthenes, blue quartz minerals in it. The Charnockite in the area forms dome shaped, steepy sloping hills. The rock is medium to coarse grained texture composed of greasy quartz, hypersthenes, orthoclase and plagioclase with or without garnet. The rock is massive, with widely spaced vertical to sub vertical joints trending in NE-SW direction. It is observed that sheet joints are absent. Owing to its compact and hardness Charnockite with stand to weathering and form huge, steepy sloping dome shaped hills in the area. Local Geology: The quarry lease applied area is more or less a plain which was raising 3.6 mts above ground level exposed with Gravel with small pebble formation. The lowest contour is 67 M and highest contour is 70.6 M. The applied area having thick & red colour gravel is exposed on the surface which was formed by instu weathering of pre-existed khondalite group of Rock of Eastern ghat super group of Archean age. The average thickness of Gravel is 10 mts. The gravel utilized for formation of kaccha road & filling of low laying area formation layouts. Reserves and Average Production The deposit is found to be irregular in shape. Hence cross sectional method adopted for Estimation of Geological Reserves. 3 Sections A-A’,B-B’ & C-C’ were drawn at equal distance perpendicular to the strike direction of the formation to estimate the reserves (Plate – III). The cross sections were drawn perpendicular to the strike direction, the cross sectional area (i.e., Length & Depth) of the individual sections are calculated to arrive at sectional area, the area thus arrived is multiplied by the sectional influences (width) to arrive the volume of deposit. Therefore, the length is 47M, Depth is 10M and Sectional Influence (width) is 33M of Section A-A’. The length is 124M , Depth is 10M and Sectional Influence (width) 33M of Section B-B’ and The length is 29M, Depth is 10M and Sectional Influence (width) 42M of Section C-C’, respectively.
