Chikka Anjanappa Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry in Chikkaballapur District CHAPTER – 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Sri. Chikka Anjanappais proposing a Building Stone quarry, in an area of 2.00 acres Non-Forest Govt. Land bearing Sy. No. 20 of Hanumanthapura Village in Chikkaballapur Taluk & District, in the state of Karnataka. The said quarry is an operating and it is proposed to quarry about 5197 Tons /annum of Building Stone from the quarry. In accordance with the Office Memorandum No. L-11011/47/2011-IA.II(M) dated 18th May 2012, issued by the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India and the EIA Notification 2006, Sri. Chikka Anjanappa is submitting the Form-I (Revised) along with Pre-Feasibility Report of the proposed activity, Approved Modified Mining Plan (by Dept. of Mines & Geology, Govt. of Karnataka), Land Documents, Environmental Management Plan (Revised) etc. to State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Karnataka for issuing Environmental Clearance for the proposed quarrying activity. 1.2 LOCATION OF THE PROJECT The proposed Building Stone quarry, will be from a Govt. Land bearing Sy. No. 20, in an extent of 2.00 Acre. The chosen land, belongs to Hanumanthapura Village, Chikkaballapur Taluk & District. 1.3 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROJECT The present project of Building Stone quarrying in a Non-Forest Govt. Land having an extent of 2.00 Acres with a capacity of 5,197 Tons per Annum, has the main advantage of availability of the rocky terrain. The location of the quarry is near to Hanumanthapura Village in Chikkaballapur Taluk & District. It has got a good connectivity to the National Highway connecting with Chikkaballapur. Further the Proposed Project has chosen to adopt “OPEN CAST” Method by Semi-mechanized quarrying, an already proven environment friendly process, which will be a safe bet on the investment as well as returns on investment, & for environmental protection & pollution prevention. 1 Sri. Chikka Anjanappa Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry in Chikkaballapur District 1.4 ADMINISTRATIVE & LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND As per the latest Office Memorandum No. L-11011/47/2011-IA.II(M) dated 18th May 2012 issued by Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF), Government of India and the EIA Notification of the MoEF dated 14.09.2006 (amended in 2009), any new Mining or Quarrying activity shall not be undertaken in any part of India unless it is accorded environmental clearance by the concerned State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), in accordance with the procedures specified in this Notification. As per the procedure, all quarries or mining of minor minerals proposals with an extent of less than 5 Hectares of activity area, in any part of India or expansion or modernization of any existing mine/ quarry, shall apply in prescribed Form, along with necessary documentation like Pre-Feasibility Report, Approved Mining Plan, Location Map, Land documents, Mine Notification Copy, Environmental Management Plan (EMP) etc.. Accordingly, this EMP for the proposed quarrying activities of M/s Platinum Granites has been prepared for the perusal of SEIAA/ SEAC. 1.5 EMP FORMAT The present report is based on compilation of the secondary data available for the proposed project site & its surroundings, a description of the production process, preparation of environment management plan and disaster management plan. The contents of the report have been organized in following Five (05) chapters: Chapter-1 - Introduction This chapter provides background information of the project, brief description of the area, significance of the project and format of the report. Chapter-2 - Project Details This chapter deals with the proposed quarry location, machinery used for quarrying, infrastructure requirements etc. 2 Sri.

Chikka Anjanappa Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry in Chikkaballapur District CHAPTER – 2 PROJECT DETAILS 2.0 INTRODUCTION M/s Platinum Granites is operating Building Stone quarry for extraction of Building Stone Blocks of various sizes to cater to the demands of the domestic as well as export market. The said Quarry is an new quarry and is spread over an extent of 2.00 Acres in a Non-Forest Govt. Land bearing Survey No.20, Hanumanthapura Village, Chikkaballapur Taluk & District, in the state of Karnataka. 2.1 PROJECT SITE DETAILS v Sri Chikka Anjanappa is operating Building Stone quarry, in an area of 2.00 Acre of Non-Forest Govt. Revenue Land. v The geographical details of the quarry site are as under: Point No. Latitude Longitude A 13°35’01.82” 77°45’18.07” B 13°35’02.65” 77°45’15.05” C 13°35’00.31” 77°45’14.87” D 13°35’58.33” 77°45’17.78” v Details of the surrounding environmental features are given under Chapter-3 2.2 DETAILS ABOUT THE PROJECT 2.2.1 Cost of the Project: The total cost of the proposed Building Stone quarrying activity is estimated as Rs 10.0 Lakhs, of which approx. Rs. 1.0 Lakhs is towards the pollution control. Most of the mechanical equipment will be outsourced. 4 Sri. Chikka Anjanappa Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry in Chikkaballapur District 2.2.2 Raw Materials Requirement The proposed activity itself is quarrying of Building Stone, which will be the raw material for subsequent activities. Hence, there is no requirement of any other raw materials. 2.2.3 Description of the Process: In the above mentioned Govt. Revenue Land (Sy. No. 20 of Hanumanthapura, Chikkaballapur Taluk & District, Karnataka State), quarrying of Building Stone will be carried-out by open cast mining and semi-mechanization method by using Drilling machine, Blasting, excavators, dumpers and water tanker. As the rock is exposed to open sky, open cast quarrying will be sufficient. To achieve the required level of Building Stone production, it requires Tractor1 Molded compressor 2 Air Compressor, 2 JCB, 2 jack hammer & 3 Tippers. Transportation of quarried material will be made through hired trucks to the dispatching points. The flow diagram of various activities involved in the quarrying of Building Stone is shown below: DRILLING DISLODGING QUARRY & BLASTING TRANSPORT LOADING Drilling: Drilling for development and production is largely by pneumatic as well as by hydraulic means supplied by compressor of different capacities are used. 32mm diameter holes are drilled ranging from 60 Cm. to 6.00 m with the number of holes depending on the spacing and burden. Drilling is also done while dressing the block to their final form. 5 Sri. Chikka Anjanappa Environmental Management Plan for the Proposed Building Stone Quarry in Chikkaballapur District Loading: the Building Stone dimensional stone blocks, which produced from the quarry, are loaded on the trucks by 20 tones crane at the stockyards. Whereas the waste generated is mucked by hydraulic excavator and loaded on to 25 tones dumpers. Transport: Transportation of the product within the quarry area will be done by using excavators, cranes, tippers etc. The quarry waste and other over burden will be transported to the waste dumping yard by using trucks/ tippers. The finished blocks
