EXECUTIVE SUMMARY : Location: Ordinary Earth Excavation site of Mulamthuruthy Village- Pathappillil Poulose P M site is located near Pulickamaly- Karicode and 200 mtr away from Pampra Mahadeva Temple (west) in Mulanthuruthy Village, Kanayannoor Taluk, Ernakulam Dist. It is about 15 km away from District Headquarter Ernakulam. Site is well connected to Kakkanad- Mulanthurithy and ernakulam Piravom Road which connects district headquarters at Ernakulam. Project site is about 3 Km from Mulanthuruthy Railway Station. Drainage system in the region is dendritic. Surface runoff water in the region will be discharged to the natural drainage course. General Details: General Details: Extracting ordinary Earth from 0.4725 Ha of property out of the Total extend 0.6033 Ha of property under the possession of the Applicant, Comprised in Block 24, re-survey no.321/9, in Mulanthuruthy Village, Kannayannoor Taluk. The subject area is away from public properties and there is no objection of the public (consent from adjacent land owners is also encloses with additional attachments) or any litigation also keeping the lateral support from adjacent properties and maintain the bench formation will be done while excavations of ordinary earth. Owing to its massive nature, durability, ease of handling, availability in close proximity to construction sites and low cost, the ordinary earth are in demand for several construction purposes. Ordinary earth are used in almost any type of construction activity. It is also the most important input in domestic activity. Further they are also required by railway projects for track laying and other construction activities. Thus in current times, where the focus of the governments is on improvement of basic infrastructure like roads, railways, dams and other social infrastructure – both in rural and urban areas , there is a constant need for ensuring regular supply of these minor minerals. As per Environmental Impact Assessment Notification dated 14th September, 2006, and subsequent amendments thereof, this project falls under Category “B2” of the list of the Project or activities requiring environmental Clearance prior to operation of quarry/mines from the from the District Environmental Impact Assessment Authority, Ernakulam. Considering the cost of the project, cost towards production, sale value etc, the project is viable and bring some positive benefit directly or indirectly to the nearby locality. Excavated ordinary earth will be utilized for job of laying12” OD pipeline of Kochi Salem LPG pipeline project of M/s. KSPPL. Manufacturing & Production Production Production Capacity 3 Excavation of Ordinary Earth 8000 M This is an Ordinary earth excavation project. Excavated ordinary earth will be utilized for job of laying12” OD pipeline of Kochi Salem LPG pipeline project of M/s. KSPPL. Pollution Control Measures: The major sources of pollution in proposed earth excavation activity will be Particulate Matter (Fugitive emission) generated due to excavation of earth. The surrounding of project area is agricultural in nature with good greenery all around. This will minimize the fugitive emissions. However, during dry season, excavation operation will be carried out after water sprinkling to avoid generation of fugitive dust emissions. No effluent will be generated due to proposed ordinary earth Excavation unit as the water will be used for domestic purposes only. Solid Waste Management: No solid wastes will be generated due to proposed ordinary earth Excavation operation. Project Cost : Total cost of ordinary earth excavation project is approx. Rs. 10,000,00/=. PROJECT DETAILS 2.
