Brief description of nature of the project

The some part covered with moderate vegetation. The main vegetation seen in the proposed

site and surrounding area are Coconut tree, Palm Trees, Local shrubs & bushes. There is a

worked out pit in South West part of the proposed area. Highest elevation of the proposed

area is 75 m RL and lowest is 65 m RL. The drainage of the area is controlled by seasonal

channels towards East which joins to seasonal streams & towards West to the Exiting pit.

There are no perennial water courses within the quarry area. The existing quarry proves the

presence of granites building stone in proposed site.

The Granite Building stone quarrying operation is proposed to carry out by conventional

opencast method by formation of benches. Mine benches are proposed with a height of 5m

and the width of each bench is proposed not less than the height.

The proposed stone production is 15,500 Tons per annum

Life of the mine is estimated to be 5 years and quarry permit applied for 5 years.

Proposed maximum mining depth is up to 50 m RL in 5 years.

27

Top soil & OB thickness varies from 0.5 m to 2.0 m and will be removed during the mining

operations. Topsoil & OB recovered from the quarry will be dumped separately at

predetermined place and subsequently will be utilized in spreading over afforestation &

reclamation purposes.

Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

The basic objective of the project is effective utilization of material in the region. Granite

Building Stone is the most commonly used material in road works, construction & other

infrastructure development works. Being a construction material, the mineral will be used in

local market. The mining project will fulfill its end users in construction purposes.

The mining project will provide employment to local people. Applicant will pay royalty for the

mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect taxes will be paid thereby contributing

to the regional revenue. The public revenue so generated will further be put for use in

infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education and social welfare. The

applicant will allocate funds for the socio-economic development of the area i.e. medical

facilities, domestic water supply and other social work.

The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas will add the revenue of the

state through royalty and the taxes. This project will also help to improve the economic

conditions of the local people through direct, indirect employments and allied services.

Demand and supply gap

There is large demand of granite building stone for road works, building construction and

other infrastructural works. Granite building stone is widely used in construction activities as

main raw material. The entry in the target market is easy and there is a notable gap in the

supply and demand, which is growing.

Imports vs indigenous production

The granite building stone is required for road works, construction and infrastructure

development projects. The stone is available in local markets and hence there is no scope of

import. However, the demand for the stone is continuously increasing due to rising trend in

the infrastructure projects.

Export Possibility

There will not be any export of material since this is a low category minor mineral (Granite

Building Stone) and the project proponent would like to sale out the material mined in the

domestic market only. No export is proposed.

28

Domestic/Export Markets

Domestic demand is one of the main reasons for the rapid growth of building stone business

in Kerala. Since it is an allied industry of the construction sector, growth in construction

sector may be considered as proxy for the growth in stone mining sector. The market scope

for granite building stone is found to be encouraging in local market with the increased

demand from building industry & construction projects. Since this is low category minor

mineral (Granite Building Stone) and high local demand there is no proposal for export of

material and the project proponent would like to sale out the material excavated in the

domestic market only.

Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project

Project will create direct & indirect employment opportunities within the surrounding region.

Unit will use good faith efforts to employ local people from the nearby villages depending

upon the availability of skilled & un-skilled man-power surrounding the project site. About 10

people will get direct employment and 5 people will get indirect employment opportunities

with allied and related industries, such as transportation, maintenance, shops, garages,

eateries, etc.

Employment potential in the Granite Building stone Quarry is as follows:

Sl.no Name of the post Nos

1. Second class Mines Engineer 1

2. Mines Foreman 1

3. Mines Mate 1

4. Drilling & Blasting / Helpers 1

5. Machine Operators / Helpers 1

6. Drivers / Helpers 4

7. Other Miscellaneous services 1

Total 10

Pre-employment and periodic training will be given to the employees for the safe and

systematic quarrying operation. All the labors engaged for quarrying operations will be

provided with necessary personal protective equipment and will be insured during the

quarry plan period. The above manpower is adequate to meet out the production schedule

and the machinery strength envisaged in the mining plan and also to comply with the

stationary provisions of quarry safety regulation. It will ensured that the labours will not be

deployed less than 18 years. No Child labors will be engaged or entertained for any kind of

quarrying operations. All the labors engaged for quarrying operations will be insured till the

end of life of quarry.

Planning Concept (type of industries, facilities, transportation etc) Town and Country

Planning/Development authority Classification: This is a granite Building stone quarry

proposed to operate using Conventional Opencast Semi Mechanized Method in an extent of

0.5130 Ha. The proposed production is 15,500 Tons per annum of granite building stone. In

Conventional Opencast Semi mechanized Method, Drilling will be done using compressor

operated jackhammer, Control blasting using allowed explosives, sizing of material using

37

breakers and excavation and loading of the material using excavators and transportation

using Tippers/Trucks. Facilities such as Power, Transportation and other infrastructure

facilities are locally available near the project site. Covered transportation of the stone and

imposing speed limits will be practiced to avoid disturbance to the nearby habitations. The

haul roads and nearby public roads will be periodically sprinkled with water to prevent dust.

2.1 Physiography /Topography

44

The topography of the proposed area is part of Elevated terrain with some part covered with

moderate vegetation. The main vegetation seen in the proposed site and surrounding area

are Coconut tree, Palm Trees, Local shrubs & bushes. There is a worked out pit in South West

part of the proposed area. Highest elevation of the proposed area is 75 m RL and lowest is 65

m RL. The drainage of the area is controlled by seasonal channels towards East which joins to

seasonal streams & towards West to the Exiting pit. There are no perennial water courses

within the quarry area. The contour map/surface plan of the proposed area is enclosed in the

mining plan as plate 4.

2.2 Geology of the area

Regional Geology

The area forms a part of the Precambrian metamorphic complex of Palakkad district,

comprising mainly rocks of the Charnockite Group. The rock observed in study area is hard,

massive and dense in nature. The basic charnockite (Granite Building Stone) is more

granulitic and contains clino- and ortho- pyroxenes, feldspar, biotite and garnet whereas the

acid variety (alaskite/ enderbite) is greenish black, coarse-grained, massive to poorly foliated

rock consisting of quartz, feldspar and pyroxenes. Basic charnockite has low- potash feldspar

and more clinopyroxene.

Local Geology

The rock type available in the applied area is Granite Building Stone (Charnockite). At places

the charnockite is covered by some soil and top soil thickness is 0.5m to 2.0m wherever it

occurs. The already worked out portion in the proposed area as well as nearby quarry

establishes the existence of granite building stone (Charnockite) within the project area

beyond doubt.

2.3 Mining Process (Method of Mining)

The proposed method of mining is conventional Semi mechanized open cast mining. For the

systematic working of open cast mines, the main development work will be the forming of

systematic benching. The height of bench will not be kept more than 5.0m at a time and the

width of the benches will be always kept safe according to provisions. The Mining will be

done with the help of tools such as drills, jackhammer, compressors, breakers & excavators,

hand shovel, picks etc. The targeted maximum annual production of Stone is about 15,500

TPA.

Site Preparation

3.11 Socio-Economic Environment

The major occupation of the area is Cultivation, Household activity, Livestock, Forestry,

Mining & Quarrying activities. The quarrying activity will benefit local villages in both

directly and in-directly. Direct beneficiary will be those who get employed in Quarry as skilled

and unskilled workers

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)

Since this is very small mining activity & due to various mitigation measures, there will not be

any significant impact of mining on environment. However an environmental impact

assessment and the following environmental protection measures are proposed for the

mining project to mitigate the impact during the mining operation.

4.1 Air Quality

The existing air quality in core zone is not likely to have considerable impact due to this small

scale quarrying. However, the quality of air in quarry area may be deteriorated to certain

extent due to dust from drilling, blasting and transportation of the granite stones. The

following measures to control air pollution due to quarrying operations shall be undertaken,

so that the pollution scenario shall be marginal and insignificant.

Practice of covered/wet drilling or provision of dust arrestors in drills to control dust

generation during drilling.

Proper blast design and avoiding overcharging of blast holes.

Controlled blasting techniques will be adopted.

Laying of haul road as per the standards

51

Periodic water sprinkling on haul road.

Provision of dust mask to workers working at highly dust prone areas.

Provision of green belt all along the periphery of the quarry area.

Prohibiting overloading and over-speeding of stone transportation vehicles.

Transport of stone by tippers/trucks covered with tarpaulin from site to consuming

centers.

Periodic maintenance of mine machinery and transportation vehicles.

Periodical monitoring of ambient air quality in and around the quarry area.

4.2 Noise Levels

In quarrying activity, the operation of heavy machinery operation will cause vibration and

noise. The quarrying operation will be restricted to only day time. To attenuate noise, various

measures shall be taken up from the source point. The activity such as drilling shall be

updated to latest technology. Persons who are exposed to critical operation like drilling and

operation of excavators are being provided with personal protective equipment’s (PPEs) as

Occupational Safety Measures. The following measures are proposed to control noise and

ground vibrations-

Development of thick green belt around mining area

Periodic maintenance of machinery, equipment.

Provision of earplugs to workers exposed to high noise areas.

Conducting periodical medical checkup of all workers for any noise related health

problems.

Proper training to personnel to create awareness about adverse noise level effects.

Periodic noise monitoring at suitable locations in the mining area and nearby

habitations to assess efficacy of adopted control measures.

Practice of controlled blasting

Restricting number of holes per blast to minimum

4.3 Ground vibrations

The only source of ground vibrations is due to drilling & blasting operations. The drilling is

proposed by jack hammer with 33mm dia. Due to small diameter hole blasting & individually

blasting the vibration in this zone will be very low. However the following measures like

monitoring every blast and use of minimum explosives will be taken.

Controlled blasting technique will be adopted.

Charge per delay will be regulated to minimize blast vibrations.

Optimum delay sequence and stem to column ratio will be maintained.

Avoiding blasting in unfavourable weather conditions.

52

4.4 Air Blast

The release of explosive energy through air and movement of fragmented rocks are

primary causes for air blast. The following measures while carrying out blasting operation

will help in reducing the intensity of air blasts and will also minimize the noise level

associated with the air blasts.

Avoiding overcharging of blast holes

Adequate stemming

Maintaining proper inter-hole & inter-row delays.

4.5 Fly Rock

There are many factors that influence fly rocks. Most important of these factors are:- a) long

explosive columns with little stemming at the mouth of the hole. b) Irregular shape of face. c)

Long water column in holes. d) Loose stones on face of the surface blasting area. e) Strong

wind. The following preventive measures will be taken to minimize the risks arising from

flying fragments.

Avoiding overcharging of blast holes

Adequate stemming

Maintaining proper inter-hole & inter-row delays.

In addition the following safety measures will also be taken:-

Marking of danger zone: - The area falling within 50-100 m of the blasting area will be

marked off as danger zone with red flags, or other appropriate signs, and entry of any

unauthorized person into this zone will be prohibited during blasting operation.

Warning signals: - An audible warning signal will be given, fifteen minutes before actual

firing of blast to enable persons to move out of danger zone. For this purpose, a set of

sirens/ hooters will be provided at appropriate places.

Providing blasting shelters: - In order to protect the personnel engaged in blasting

operations, blasting shelters will be provided for taking shelter during blasting.

4.6 Hydrogeology & Water Environment

In surrounding of quarry area, the ground water level is 5-8 m below the general surface.

Hence no ground water is going to encounter during quarrying. So there shall not be any

impact on water quality. And anyhow the granite building stone is not hazardous. Bottom

part of the mined out pit i.e. 0.0850 Ha will be used for Rain Water Harvesting/ water reservoir

which will help in recharging of water.

4.7 Storm Water (Drainage)/ Sewage

Except during monsoon months, no water shall be discharged from mine. Before onset of

monsoon, drains are cut along toe of the quarry faces to divert the surface run off. Garland

53

drain is provided at the quarry top to regulate monsoon water and direct the same to the

settling ponds / quarry pit to contain the quarry wash off and to avoid the same joining to the

adjoining surface water bodies / water courses. It also helps to avert eventual collapses and

damages to the quarry faces if any. The following control measures will be adopted for

controlling water pollution due to the siltation of storm water by mining operations.

Storm water drains with silt traps will be suitably constructed all along the periphery of

the pit area (Garland drains) to collect the run-off from the quarry area and divert into

the storm water pond/tanks proposed within the complex.

Appropriate channelization of storm water with channels of sufficient width.

All measures will be taken not to disturb the existing drainage pattern adjacent to the

other property.

De-siltation traps and storm water collection pond proposed for silt removal.

The storm water collected from the quarry area will be utilized for dust suppression on

haul roads, plantation within the premises, etc.

The layout of channelization of storm water from the project site is shown in the drainage

plan.

Construction of check dams and collecting channel all around at the foot of the hill to

prevent soil erosion during the monsoon season and also to collect the storm water for

various use within the quarry area.

Blast residues from explosives will be managed by ensuring that all material is ignited

during the blasting process.

The sewage water generated from the site will be diverted to the septic tank followed by soak

pit.

4.8 Water regime

There is no water source of perennial type passing through the area. In surrounding of quarry

area the ground water level is 5-8 m below the general surface. Hence no ground water is

going to encounter during quarrying. So there shall not be any impact on water quality. And

anyhow the granite building stone is not hazardous. Domestic sewage from site office &

urinals/latrines will be discharged in septic tank followed by soak pits.

4.9 Land Environment

Anticipated Impacts on land environment are Land use change, Loss of Top soil &

overburden and Soil erosion due to storm water. The land use pattern at present, plan

period and plan period (conceptual period) are given in the Table below:-

Land use pattern at present, plan period and conceptual period

Construction of check dams and collecting channel all around at the foot of the hill to

prevent soil erosion during the monsoon season and also to collect the storm water for

various use within the quarry area.

Green belt development along the boundary of the quarry area.

Upper part of Mined out area will be reclaimed and used for plantation and lower part

will be used as water reservoir

4.10 Reclamation of land / Eco-Restoration.

In the conceptual stage/mine closure stage, 0.2240 Ha mined out area will be reclaimed back

and used for plantation. Bottom part of the mined out pit i.e. 0.0850 Ha will be used for Rain

Water Harvesting/ water reservoir which will help in recharging of water and can be used as

fishing pond also.

4.11 Fencing

Wire mesh fencing will be provided all around the quarry boundary except for the entrance

road to avoid inadvertent entry of the unsuspecting persons/animals into the quarry and

falling in the mine pits.

4.12 Biological Environment (Afforestation / Green Belt Development)

Removal of existing vegetation will be done only when the area is immediately required for

mining. The trees removed during quarrying activity will be replanted as much possible.

During the mining operation, gap filling plantation will be carried out in the safety zone. 150

trees of different native species will be planted in Safety zone. Apart from this plantation of

another 150 trees will also be carried out on top benches of mined out & reclaimed area.

Afforestation will be done on the haulage road by planting 100 saplings.

4.13 Topsoil & Overburden Management:

1960 tones of the top soil recovered during quarry operation will be used directly for

afforestation / green belt development at earmarked safety barrier area all along the

55

periphery of the application area. 3918 tons of overburden /waste generated will be

utilized for road formation and back filling of mined out area. And there is no real waste and

mineral rejects generated during this mining operation, and so no proposal for disposal of

waste is made during the plan period

4.14 Social and demographic profile:

The major occupation of the area is Cultivation, Household activity, Livestock, Forestry,

Mining & Quarrying activities. There are no major industries in the area. The quarrying

operation in such places would provide 10 direct & 5 number of indirect employment to local

people. Besides social activities is proposed which will be beneficiary to surrounding local

people. Hence quarrying operation will help in improving socio-economic status of the area.

4.15 Human settlement:

There is no need of any rehabilitation or resettlement or migrating the laborers needed due

to this small scale quarrying.

4.16 Occupational health and safety hazards:

The statutory norms shall be followed during the course of quarrying to ensure the proper

health and safety of workers like medical facilities, drinking water, rest rooms, canteens, toilets

etc to the workers employed at site.

4.17 Public buildings, places of worship and monuments:

There are no monuments of either historical, place of worship or archaeological importance

near the proposed quarry site.
