I) Geology and Exploration
a. Regional Geology:
The area in question forms a part of the north eastern palnad basin of the crescent
shaped Cuddapah basin and lies right on the eastern margin in close proximity to the
Peninsular Gneissic Complex on the east. The regional geology around the subject area is
rendered complex by intense folding, faulting and thrusting resulting in the Juxtaposition
of stratigraphically and lithologically disparate units.
The limestone bands itself, for examples, which belongs to a much younger stratigraphic
unit of Kurnool group occurs in contact with the shale of cambium formation of
Nallamalai group(Cuddapah Super Group) as well as the Gneiss of the Archean
peninsular Gneissic Complex. The Cumbum formation of Nallamalai group occurs as a
trusted block within younger Kurnool group rocks which occur to the wes t of the present
area.
b) Local Geology
The present area is a hillock land with ground level exposures of Charnockite/migmatite
gneisses and basalts having occasional hornblende bands. The rock is medium to coarse
grained and composed of quartz, plagioclase, microcline, biotite and hornblende as the
main mineral constituents zircon,: epidote, speen and iron ore minerals as accessory
constituents. The rock exhibits gneissic outlook in view of the alignment of the minerals
in the linear direction and belong to the Archean age. Basalt formation is associated
with medium and thin bands of shale of varying thickness. The thickness of the Basal
formation is around 80 to 100 m
c) Details of Prospecting license holder : Not Applicable
d) Details of prospecting/mining already carried-out
Present Status: No exploration is carried out for this type of deposit. This deposit is
working mine . This is quarrying since 2009 onwards, the road metal excavation has
been carried out in this quarry. The existing pit dimension are 115m length X 40m

3) Mining:
Method of mining
Road Metal Stone quarrying is the multistage process by which rock is extracted from the
ground and crushed to produce aggregate, which is then screened into the sizes required
for immediate use, or for further processing, such as coating with bitumen to make
bituminous macadam (bitmac) or asphalt. The drilling& blasting permission will be
obtained from Chief Controller of Explosive.
The process begins with a detailed three-dimensional survey of the quarry face. This allows
the explosives engineer to design the blast and to plot where the shot holes should be
drilled so that the blast can be carried out safely and efficiently. The survey will show if
there are any bulges or hollows in the face. A bulge will need more explosive than normal
to ensure that it is completely fragmented and not left in place in the face. Hollow areas
require less explosive than normal. The placement of explosives is professionally planned
to ensure that the required fragmentation of the rock is achieved with the minimum
environmental impact.
The mining operations will be carried out with controlled blasting method, the blasting
permission is obtained from Dy. Chief controller of Explosive the copy of the letter is
enclosed as Annexure-VII.
In the plan period the production quantities are projected in the higher side to generate
revenue to the newly formed state of Andhra Pradesh. During plan period marginal waste
is going to be generated the waste will be dumped on surface area within the lease. The
location of production benches area shown in production plan plate-6
Beneficiation (if required) :
No Beneficiation required for the Road metal Mining project.

↓
The ≈150mm size rock material shall be sent as crusher feed
↓
From crusher the resulting end products are with 40mm, 20mm, 12mm size road metal
and rock dust.
On the day of the blast, the explosives are delivered and taken to the site of the blast.
Detonator cord is placed in each hole and the holes are then loaded with high explosives
to within a few metres of the top. The remaining depth is "stemmed" with quarry dust
or fine aggregate.
The site is cleared. Sirens are sounded to make sure that everyone nearby is warned.
The detonators are connected to the electric trigger wire and the circuit is checked. A
final safety check is carried out and only when the final all clear is given does the
shotfirer set off the explosives. A single blast can fragment up to 50 to 60 tonnes of
rock.
After the blast, the face and shotpile (sometimes called the muck-heap) are inspected to
check that all the shot holes have fired correctly. The face shovel or loader then tidies
up the shotpile and starts to load the dumper trucks that take the rock to the crusher.
Boulders which are too big to go through the crusher are set to one side for secondary
breaking at a later date. Secondary breaking is typically done using a hydraulic digger
fitted with The bench geometry is forming 6m height, width not less than 6m , the
length of the benches will be varying from every year. The details of working

Market analysis : Road metal & stone is always having demand, therefore no market issue.
Waste Management Plan
a) In Stone quarry mining very limited waste is going to be generated. In view of what has
been stated above It is necessary to plan the dumping yard as well, it will be possible to
utilize the waste material will be dumped in the surface area. For road metal and for some
other miscellaneous purposes., a fair amount of unweathered rock material could be
salvaged for road filling etc., The location of the production benches are shown in the year
wise production plans. Plate-5 & 6.
Thus market exists certainly for partial utilization of the salvaged material from the mine
wasted, thus reducing the quantum of mine waste and the management is aware of this
and will make all efforts for utilization of the mine generated waste to the extent possible.
By this way the handling at a large quantity of solid wastes is exposed to be minimized.
Measures to be adopted for solid waste
The road metal mining is on the sheet rock structure a few feet below ground level. In this
quarry no significant amount of waste was found. Since the whole produce is for crushing to
road metal requirements, the so termed waste also gets crushed and sold. Therefore the
need to store waste does not arise.
Liquid waste (measures to control mine drainage, runoff from waste dumps)
The operation of the mine will not generate any appreciable quantity of liquid waste. The
ground water table in this belt 35 Meter below the surface and since the quarry depth will
not reach up to this depth in the near future, so flooding by ground water is not anticipated.
However during rainy months, there is a possibility of wet conditions developing in the
working pit. This will be minimized, if not altogether eliminated, by adopting digging
trenches all around the quarry lease area to drain off rain water and preventing surface
runoff from entering and flooding working pit. Thus mine drainage can be effectively
managed and the pit kept dry to keep up the production schedule.
b.) Under Ground Mining : Not Applicable
4.0 MINE DRAINAGE

a) Land degradation
The mining operations to win ROAD METAL from the lease area necessarily result in forming
a pit in the pre-existing rocky area. After complete excavation of the quarry, the preexisting
surface levels of the mine area go below the ground level. Such degraded area will be
reclaimed by filling and leveling and can be used for greenery development. Alternatively,
the pits will be properly fenced off and used as ground water recharge pits. The rest of the
area will planted with trees
b) Air quality
The quarrying operations shall increase the SPM, RPM, SO2,NOx and CO levels to some
extent. But as the baseline quality is very good having these parameters much lower, the
marginal increase can be expected. The increase in SPM levels of ambient air quality
predicted are not be more than 5µg /m3. Similarly SO2 and NOx levels may increase not
more than 1µg /m3 from the baseline levels.
Air quality
Parameters Base level Permissible level
SPM 140µg /m3 360µg /m3
RSPM 60µg /m3 120µg /m3
SO2 40µg /m3 80µg /m3
NOx 40µg /m3 80µg /m3
CO 1.0µg /m3 5.0µg /m3
c) Remedies proposed for Air quality
Thus the air pollution has an adverse effects upon the health of human beings as well as
ecology. To control the air pollution, green belt around the lease area, offices, all along the
approach and internal roads will be developed in.
The continuous water spraying on the haulage roads. The plants are used as indicators of
pollutants in air and to monitor their concentrations. Closely planted woody plants growing
along the roads help in reducing the contamination of lead front automobiles exhaust.
Pollution control devices such as settling chambers, bag filters need to be used to control
pollution. Roads may be frequently sprayed with water therefore polluted air will not spread
and rise around the mine.
Conduct blasting during less breezy periods.
Properly design blasting operations.
d) Noise levels
Noise level ranges from 60 db due to the use of Heavy Earth moving Machinery. No of
personnel directly affected are the operators of these machines. Otherwise, there is no sound
pollution, in the nearby village which is more than 5 Km from the quarry is not affected by
sound pollution.
Permissible exposure for different period of time is given below:
Remedies proposed for minimizing noise levels:
A machinery function will be stopped if there is no work. Much of the noise may be due to
inefficiency of the machinery. For e.g damaged blades, blunt saws, worn bearing and
sometimes lose metal sheets. These defects will be repaired, then noise level will be minimized
to a greater extent.
A lot of noise can be absorbed by planting trees, and to absorb sound. Ex:- Coniferrous trees
like /Pine, spruce, cedar, yew, etc., and Deciduous trees.
One of the easiest ways to control noise and vibration from heavy vehicles is by maintaining
properly approach and internal roads of mine.
e) Vibration levels
As explained above nearest is village is located 3.40 kms away from lease area. It is proposed to
use gun powder for jackhammer holes blasting. This mode of blasting does not contribute to
much vibrations. Thus the impact of vibrations due to blasting shall be negligible. Periodic
vibration studies will be carried out to know the vibration levels and take appropriate measured
on it.
f) Water Regime
No effect on water regime.
g) Acid Mine Drainage: Not Applicable
h) Surface Subsidence : Not applicable.
i) Socio-economics
Due to this quarry operations there will be some to locals may be employed. By way of direct
employment not less than 15 numbers and indirectly 10 numbers may be employed in allied
mining activities, therefore the existing families can have sustenance.
On development of quarry it will improve transport, communication and power in turn the
Government will also earn revenue which can flow back to improve the facilities of neighboring
locality. The much needed foreign exchange is also earned on export of black granite.
J) Historic Monuments :No Historic monuments , temples within the 10 km radius area.
k) Bio-Diversity : Not applicable.
3.0 Progressive Reclamation Plan
4.0 Mined-Out Land: Describe the proposals to be implemented for reclamation and rehabilitation of mined-out land including the manner in which the actual site of the pit will be restored for future use. The proposals may be supported with yearly plans and sections depicting yearly progress in the activities for land restoration/reclamation/rehabilitation,
afforestation etc, called “Reclamation Plan”.
No reclamation is proposed period of mining scheme as the ore is available at further depth.
However, the in the Safety Barrier Zone and road side area plantation shall be carried out
during the plan period.
5.0 Topsoil Management: The topsoil available at the site and its utilization maybe described.
The area associated with hard rock surfaces such as shale and schist, There is no soil cover in
the mining area. However, any top-soil removed incidental to mining shall be preserved and
used during plantation on the dumps.
6.0 Tailings Dam Management: The steps to be taken for protection and stability of tailing dam,
stabilization of tailing material and its utilization, periodic desilting measures to prevent water pollution from tailings etc, arrangement for surplus water overflow along with detail design, structural stability studies, the embankment seepage loss into the receiving environment and ground water contaminant if any may be described.
Not applicable.
7.0 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment
Mining will be carried-out strictly as per MMR 1961 and all other rules and regulations. Project
proponent is having mobile communication system for quick passing of information if need
arises. The management is committed to identify possible causes for the potential disasters and
draw a code of emergency measures and procedures to deal with such disasters, which is
otherwise also advised by DGMS through their periodic circulars.
Mine is well equipped with communication system like wireless facility. In case of any
minor/major accidents within the mine, the same will be communicated to Mines Manager for
action. At mine level first aid will be provided and person(s) shall be shifted to nearby hospital
at Ibrahimpatnam mandal, having all basic amenities like school, college, hospitals, post &
telegraph, fire station, police station etc., which is at a distance of 13.50 kms from the mine.
Lessee is responsible Key person for the disaster management and he needs to be contacted in
the below mentioned address in case of any disaster.

8.0 Care and Maintenance during temporary discontinuance
The following specific measures shall be taken in case of temporary discontinuance,
a) Proper and adequate security at the entrance/exit to the mine to prevent entry of
unauthorized person with proper gates under lock.
b) Top edges of the quarry will be fenced off with approved type of fencing.
c) Entrance to the toe of dumps will be blocked.
d) Special security and fire preventing measures will be taken at dangerous
places/explosive magazine etc. e) All the above will be examined by the Mines manager once in a week to ensure that
they are in order.
