Brief description of nature of the project

The proposed area is part of Elevated terrain and most part devoid of any vegetation.

Entire area is occupied by granite building stone (charnockite) and there is no

significant top soil. Most of the proposed area is covered with a worked out pit except a

small part in the south. The surrounding areas have a mixed vegetation like rubber,

coconut, palm and local trees, bushes & shrubs. Highest elevation of the proposed area is

115 m RL and lowest is 105 m RL. The drainage of the area is controlled by seasonal

channels, there is no any slope, the site is saucer shaped and the rain water will be

directed to the Exiting pit. There are no perennial water courses within the proposed

quarry area.

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.

Page - 27

The proposed stone production is 44,000 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 75m RL in 5 years.

Top soil & OB thickness varies from 0.5 m to 1.0m 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, educational, public utilities like domestic water supply and

other social works.

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

Page - 28

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.

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 15 people will get direct employment and 5-10 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 2

5. Drivers / Helpers 8

6. Other Miscellaneous services 2

Total 15

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

Page - 29

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.

Page - 52

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

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.

Page - 53

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.

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:-

Page - 54

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 10-15 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. 0.3193 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 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.

Page - 55

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 10-15 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

Area for future use / undisturbed 0.1299 0.0000 0.0

TOTAL 0.9741 0.9741

The following Mitigation Measures are proposed to minimize the adverse effects on the

land environment.

Concurrent eco restoration will be carried out.

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

Page - 56

4.10 Reclamation of land / Eco-Restoration.

In the conceptual stage/mine closure stage, 0.3651 Ha mined out area will be reclaimed

back and used for plantation. Bottom part of the mined out pit i.e. 0.3193 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. 200 trees of different native species will be planted in Safety zone. Apart

from this plantation of another 250 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:

189.6 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

periphery of the application area. 284.4 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 15 direct & 5-10 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.

Page - 57

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:
