A stormwater management plan is required so as to ensure there is adequate clean and dirty water separation such that, all water emanating from the mine area (dirty water) is captured, conveyed and safely contained, whilst the clean water emanating from the upstream environment is diverted away to the nearest watercourse or downstream environment. Conceptualized approach towards stormwater management is pointed as follows,
Good housekeeping such that all solid waste will be disposed of so that there is no risk to it being transported further downstream via storm water. • Source control measures in the form of rain water harvesting tanks so as to decrease the storm water runoff to the downstream environment whilst also encouraging reuse of the captured stormwater. • Local controls in the form of swales which are grassed channels will be used to capture and convey all the clean water runoff onsite to the downstream clean water environment.

INTRODUCTION
Chitradurga District is located 200km NW from Bangalore, bounded by the geographical coordinates North Latitudes 13º 34' 20" to 15º 47' 10" to East Longitudes 76º 01' 30" 77º 01' 35". The District is having a geographic area of 8388.78 sq kms.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT Chitradurga district has a hoary past dating back to the pre-historic and
legendary times. According to a tradition, it was near the Jatinga Rameshvar hill
of this district that Jatayu challenged Ravana when, having abducted Sita, the
latter was passing through this part of the country with her on his way to Lanka.
According to another, during the period of their exile the Pandava brothers and
their mother Kunti stayed for some time near Chitradurga hills.
Some of the pot-shreds discovered in the pre-historic sites of the district
are stated to be similar to those found in the Indus Valley, Sumer and Crete of
the 3rd millennium B.C. Further, the ancient local culture which has been
designated as "Roppa Culture" is said to be similar to the campiguin culture of
France belonging to the period from 8000 B.C. to 6000 B.C.
Chitradurga features bold rock hills and picturesque valleys, huge towering
boulders in unimaginable shapes. It is known as the "stone fortress" (Kallina
Kote). The landscape looks much like a mischievous giant's playground, with
boulders thrown around, forming silhouettes against the sky. According to a
story in the Epic Mahabharatha, a man-eating gaint named Hidimbasura lived
on the Chitradurga hill and was a source of terror to everyone around. When the
Pandavas came with their mother Kunti in the course of their exile, Bhima had a
duel with Hidimba. Hidimba was slain by Bhima and peace returned to the area.
Legend has it the boulders were part of the arsenal used during that duel. In fact,
F:\EnviProSolutions\Quarries\RiverSandMining\Chitradurga\DistrictMineralSurveyReportChitradurga.doc

the boulders on which major part of the city rests belong to the oldest rock
formation in the country.
Timmana Nayaka a chieften under the Vijayanagar empire rose to the rank of
governor of Chitradurga as a reward for his excellence in military achievements,
from the Vijayanagara ruler. This was the beginning of the rule of the Nayakas
of Chitradurga. His son Obana Nayaka is known by the name Madakari Nayaka
1588 CE. Madakari Nayaka's son Kasturi Rangappa 1602 succeeded him and
consolidated the kingdom to rule peacefully. As he had no heirs to succeed him,
his adopted son, the apparent heir was enthroned but was killed in few months
by the Dalavayis.
Chikkanna Nayaka1676 the brother of Madakari Nayaka II sat on the throne,
and his brother succeeded him with the title Madakari Nayaka III in 1686. The
unwillingness of Dalawayis to accept Madakari Nayaka III's rule gave an
opportunity to one of their distant relatives, Bharamappa Nayaka to ascend the
throne in 1689. He is known as dthe greatest of the Nayaka rulers. Somehow,
the subjects of Chitradurga did not experience a good reign of the successive
rulers as they ruled on the throne for very brief periods. The Hiri Madakari
Nayaka IV 1721, Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka II 1748, Madakari Nayaka V 1758
ruled this area but there is not much to mention of their rule.
Chitradurga Fort:-
The old walled Town houses the impressive fort, built on the north eastern base
of a cluster of rocky hills, qualifying it to be a Giridurga, or hill fortress.
Known as Yelu Suthina Kote, the fort is fortified by seven circular walls, three
of which are on the ground and four on the hill. Chitradurga fort is said to have
had 19 majestic doors, 38 smaller doors, 35 special entry points and four secret
entrances. The fort is entered through four gateways of the outermost wall. The
foothills of the fort constitute the main residential area of the town. The Mel

Durgas, forts on the hill are embellished with extensive fortifications, ramparts,
bastions, batteries, watchtowers and entrances located at strategic points and
house fourteen temples. Some of the fort’s important landmarks are Thuppada
Kola Betta, Hidimbagiri, Zadaa Battery (Flag battery), Kahale Battery (Trumpet
battery), Lal Battery (Red battery) and Nellikai Battery (Gooseberry battery).
The main entrance to the fort, Kamanbhavi, has carvings of the seven – hooded
cobra the legendary twin headed bird, Gandaberunda, the royal
swan,Rajhamsa and lotus flowers.

GEOHYDROLOGY AND OCCURANCE OF GROUND WATER.
The above major rock units are Hard, crystalline Rocks, which have been
subjected to Tectonic Movements. The process of weathering produces joints
primarily by means of Temperature effect on Rock, as well as by Chemical and
physical action of Flowing Water. So produced joints by weathering rapidly lies
down within the upper 30 to 50mts in most Cases.
The most dense joint sets of the above origin can be observed in the upper
portion of the hard rock massifs. These joints may either open filled
(mineralized) fill being represented by sandy, clayey material or veins of
Quartz.
The character and extent of joint depends upon the composition and
hardness of the rocks. Harder rocks are less rapidly disintegrated, hence joint
penetrate them down to smaller depths.
In hard rock formation cut by differently oriented and mutually
intersecting joints can also be seen. Granites and other crystalline rocks often
contain little water. Which extend down to the depths of 30 to 50 meters and
very rarely 100mts.
The distribution and migration of ground water in jointed rocks are
variable, being dependent upon the Character, origin, and size of the cracks.
Joints in hard rock contain both Semi confined and unconfined ground water.
Ground water head is commonly produced by the Hydrostatic pressure in
intersecting joints, some of which occur in a recharge area at higher altitudes,
where the rain water and surface water infiltrate into the ground, in other places,
F:\EnviProSolutions\Quarries\RiverSandMining\Chitradurga\DistrictMineralSurveyReportChitradurga.doc
10
the water pressure in cracks in cracks is related to the pressure of gases
ascending from lower zones of the lithosphere. Major fracture zones also
contain ground water and these acts as good aquifer. Metamorphic rocks are
mainly Hornblende Schist and Chlorite Schist and Granite Gneiss.
The prominent water bearing zones are Secondary structures such as pore
space, joints and fractures in the different rock types that act as good Aquifers.
The depth of weathering zone varies from 10 to 20m. The depth of joint/
fracture zone varies from 20 to 90 m and the isolated fracture and joints may
extend down to a depth greater than 90m but less than 120m. Major structural
features, are fractures and fissures that occur in the rocks, than these features
acts as sub surface reservoir to hold and discharge ample quantity of ground
water.
GEOLOGY AND AQUIFER SYSTEM.
The rainfall precipitation is the only source for ground water recharge.
The total recharged water will be stored approximately at the following depth in
all geological setup. The thickness of the water bearing formation i..e, aquifer as
follows.
Maximum water will be stored in weathered / jointed / fractured rock
formations, up to a depth of 30m below ground level(bgl) and it accounts
approximately to tune of 65%to 75% of the total estimated ground water
recharge and 10% to 15% of the ground water will be stored at a depths ranges
from the 30 to 60m (bgl) in semi weathered rock formations (Granite, Granite
Gneiss, Schist) with joint / fractures, and 5%-10% of the ground water will be
stored at a depths ranges from the 60 to 90m (bgl) in hard rocks with fractures
and less than 5% of ground water will be stored at a depths ranges 90-
130m(bgl) in hard rock, with isolated fractures.
Review of ground water quality changes.
F:\EnviProSolutions\Quarries\RiverSandMining\Chitradurga\DistrictMineralSurveyReportChitradurga.doc

The objectives of the water quality monitoring net work is to: Establish the Bench mark for different water quality parameters
Compare the different parameters against the national standards. Detect water quality changes with time
Identify potential areas that show rising trend
Detect potential pollution sources
Study the impact of land use and industrialization on ground water quality.
To study the ground water chemistry, ground water quality-monitoring
network, has been established at 47 villages. From all the stations Base and
Trend water samples are collected and analyzed since many years. It is
observed from the analyzed report that Base samples shows higher
concentration of the substances or Characteristics like PH, CaCo3, Cl, Fe,
TDS, SO4,F and NO3 when compared with Trend samples Characteristic
Values. Ti is also noticed that concentration of the substances became low
and dispersion will be more in large area in Trend samples. The frequency of
monitoring for ground water quality is changed as base line monitoring where
as samples are collecting once in a year (one time a year) wells showing
abnormal parameters for trend monitoring (2 times a year) where as wells for
surveillance monitoring nil.

to pressure head.
The geophysical, vertical electrical soundings were conducted to know sub surface
conditions of the aquifer system. It reveals the above sub surface condition of the
water bearing strata.
SOIL TYPES.
Major soil group in the District is red sandy soil followed by mixed red and
black cotton soil, deep black soil, red loamy and medium black cotton soil. Red sandy
soils are playing vital role in ground water recharge aspect. All above-mentioned soil
types except deep black cotton soil are favorable for ground water recharge.

Mineral Resources of Chitradurga District Chitradurga
district is one of the mineral rich district in the state, where many types of minerals. Thin
bands and lenses of barytes upto 1 m wide and 200 m long occur in association with the
fuchsite quartzite bands of Sargur Group in the Ghattihosahalli and adjacent areas.
Copper, Gold, Silver: A belt of polymetallic sulphide mineralisation
with a copper, lead, zinc, antimony, arsenic, gold and silver, has been traced over a strike
length of about 40 km, along the eastern part of the schist belt. This mineralised belt
designated as the Chitradurga sulphide belt, extends from Chikkahonnanahalli in the north to
Yarahalli in the south. Copper mineralisation is prominent in the Belligudda-Ingaldhalu-
Kunchiganahalu sector over a strike length of about 5 km. The Ingaldhalu mines is located in

this sector. At Ingaldhalu, chalcopyrite with minor pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena and sphalerite
occur as disseminations, stringers and fracture fillings in quartz veins occupying narrow shear
zones in the meta-basalts. The Belligudda-Ingaldhalu-Kunchiganahallu section has been
explored by drilling, jointly by GSI and the Dept. of Mines and Geology, Govt. of Karnataka.
On the basis of drilling data and the mine development data, reserves of 2.14 million tonnes
with an average copper content of 1.22% are estimated in the mine blocks, northwest and
northeast block. The copper ores also carry considerable silver and gold content.
INGALDHAL COPPER MINE (CENTRAL BLOCK) : This mine is situated
south of Chitradurga. HGML has got Mining Lease (ML No: 2490, Period: 06.03.1993 to
05.03.2013). Mining activities at Ingaldhal Copper Mine were carried out from 1965 to 1994.
So, Mining work was suspended in 1994. due to world globalization and cause decline in Cu
price as well M/s. Hindustan Copper Limited had stopped buying of copper concentrate. It is
planned to carry out further detailed exploration by exploratory mining, reclamation. For this
statutory works are in progress.
GUDDADA RANGAVANA HALLI (G.R.HALLI):
Guddadarangavanahalli Gold Deposit is situated 7km North East of Chitradurga and
is 15km North West of Chitradurga Gold Unit and is situated on Bangalore-Sholapur
National Highway No.13 with a 1.5km mud road takes to the deposit. This is a polymetallic
deposit, reopening of the mine is under consideration. It is planned to carry out further
detailed exploration by exploratory diamond drilling followed by reclamation and mining.
For this statutory works are in progress.
