PROJECT : Masonry Stone Mine (Quarry project) PRE - FEASIBILTY REPORT APPLICANT : Mr. SATHYAN C. 6 1.3 TOP SOIL & OVER BURDEN A total quantity of 2,422 cu. m. of topsoil is proposed to be removed during the mining operations. The topsoil excavated from the quarry will be dumped / stacked separately at pre-determined place and subsequently will be utilized in spreading over reclaimed areas for plantation as part of eco-restoration. About 8,217 cu. m. of overburden (OB) will be generated throughout the mine life. This waste will be utilized within the pit for lying of haul roads. At the end use, OB can be reutilized as soil base for plantation.
