Details of Mine Plan, Mine Lease with Letter of IBM No. dated... and land use pattern including Forest Land. Vertex Cements (P) Ltd, Telekutla, Daida & Gangavaram Lime stone mine has obtained Prospecting License from district collector, Guntur (letter no Rc. No 2577/2013‐E4, dated: 15.07.2013) of Andhra Pradesh for Lime stone mine over an extent of 1541.53 acres (623.8361 ha) at Telekutla, Daida and Gangavaram villages, Gurazala mandal, Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh. 4. Method of Mining and details of letter of intent (LOI)/ The proposed method of mining is mechanized open cast for limestone production by developing the benches by employing deep drilling, blasting, hydraulic excavators and dumpers. Benches of 8m will be developed for production. ROM material will be loaded by hydraulic excavators into dumpers to be sent to crushing plant and to cement plant by dedicated conveyor belt. The sizing and segregation of mineral and waste will be done by loader. 5. Details of water requirement, waste generation and waste management Water requirement for the proposed mining is 220 KLD shall be met from mine seepage water / bore wells/Krishna River. Total water required is used for suppressing the dust, wetting drill the surface, green belt development and for domestic purpose. Sewage generated from domestic shall be sent to septic tank followed by soak pit. Waste generated will be stacked in the waste dump area and partly used for backfilling the worked out pits. Top soil generated will be stacked in the non‐mineralised area and used for green belt development to reclaim the mined out pits. 6. Details of court case/violation There is no court case/litigation pending against the project. It is a green field project, no violations cases are involved. 7. Details of Cost of the project and its EMP cost Total cost estimated for the proposed project is Rs. 63.87 Crores and Cost estimated for EMP is Rs. 3.0 Crores. 8. Any other information The mine is proposed to cater the limestone requirement of the proposed cement plant of M/s.
