: KANCHEEPURAM District is

underlain by the wide range of

metamorphic rocks of peninsular

gneissic complex. These rocks are

extensively weathered and overlain

by the recent valley fills and

alluvium at places. The geological

formations found in the district are

Archaean rocks like Gneisses,

Granites, Charnockites and

Migmatites.

and Charnockites

d. Geology of the Precise Area : The SAVUDU deposit is found right

from the surface. SAVUDU is an

unconsolidated mixture of rock

fragments coarser than sand with

grain size more than 1.5mm.

Based on Krumbein Phi Scale the

grain size of SAVUDUranges from,

1.5mm to 4mm – Very fine gravel

4mm to 8mm – Fine gravel

8mm to 16mm – Medium gravel

16mm to 31.5mm – Coarse gravel

16

5.2 Details of Exploration already

carried out if any

: Since the SAVUDU is seen from the

surface itself, no exploration was

carried out. However, the area was

personally examined by the Geologist

who prepared the Mining Plan.

5.3 a. Estimation of Reserves : The Geological and Recoverable

reserves are estimated by cross

sectional method up to a depth of

1m, as the SAVUDU occurrence is

proved up to 1m depth. Sections

have been drawn with a scale of

Horizontal- 1:1000 vertical 1:100and plans with a scale of 1:1000.

The cross sectional area for the

proved depth persistence of 1m has

been worked out for the section. The

cross sectional area multiplied by its

length of influence on the longer axis

gives the volume in the cross

sectional area.

The reserves are estimated in terms of

cubic meters and the recovery

percentage is taken as 100%.

b. Geological Reserves : The Geological reserves is

estimated as 17200M3 having

considered the mining (1m),

recovery, safety barriers etc. Details

of Estimation of Geological Reserves

is given as under,

section L W D VOLUMEM³

6.1 Method of Mining : 1. Opencast method of mechanized

mining will be adopted to extract

SAVUDU.

2. Machineries like Excavators is

proposed for quarrying of SAVUDUup to a depth of 1m and Tippers /

Lorries are proposed for the

transportation of SAVUDU to the

customer’s destination.

3. No drilling and blasting isproposed for this type of SAVUDUquarrying.

18

4. While opening a quarry in Eri /

Kanmoi lands, several long term

aspects like quarry operation

limited to 1m depth, selection and

recruitment of man power,

machineries, to safe guard the

structures noticed on the bunds of

the kanmoi during quarrying,

without any hindrance to the free

flow and storage of water to the

kanmoi during quarrying operation

and other factors should be

considered.

6.2 Mode of Working : It is a semi mechanized quarrying

operation without drilling and blasting.

Being the loose and soft soil, it is

proposed to remove the materials by

the system of hydraulic excavator and

loaded directly to the tippers and

transported to the end users.

6.3 Proposed bench height & Width : Quarrying of SAVUDU is proposed up

to a depth of 1m only without drilling

and blasting and hence no bench is

required. The width proposed is 37m.

6.4 Details of Overburden / Mineral

Production proposed for the first

1 Year

: There is no overburden and the

SAVUDU has to be quarried up to the

depth of 1m right from the surface and

it is proposed to excavate the SAVUDUfor a period of 1 Year

The average proposed rate of

production of SAVUDU is about 3922M3 1 Year period.

11.6 Plan for Air, Dust

Suppression

: Quarrying of SAVUDU will be carried out

without drilling and blasting, no dust will be

generated during quarrying operation.

However, Haul roads will be suppressed by

periodical wetting of land by water spraying.

Tarpaulin covers will also be proposed to

prevent dust during the transportation.

11.7 Plan for Noise Control : Quarrying of SAVUDU will be carried outwithout drilling and blasting, and hence, noise

will be very minimum and this is due to themovement of vehicles. However, periodical

noise level monitoring will be carried out to

check the noise level in and around the quarrysite.

11.8 Environmental Impact

Assessment StatementDescribing Impact on

mining on the next

one year

: Quarrying of SAVUDU will be carried out

without drilling and blasting, with a depth of1m for a period of 1 Year only will not cause

any adverse impact in the existing

environment.

11.9 Proposal for Waste

Management

: The entire SAVUDU will be transported to the

end users and hence, there is no wastegenerated during the quarrying operation.

11.10. Proposal of

Reclamation of Land

affected during miningactivities and at the

end of mining.

: Since, the quarry operation is restricted to 1m

depth only; the quarried portion will be used

for the storage of rain water at the end of thelease period to increase the agricultural

activities of the nearby villages.

26

11.11 Program for

Afforestation

: After the completion of quarry operation, the

area will be fit for more storage of rain water.

However, plantation of 10 trees per year will

be proposed along the tank bunds and also in

the nearby village roads during the entire 1

Year lease period to increase the Green belt.
