a. Briefly describe the existing / proposed method for developing /
working the deposit with all design parameters:
The Granitic Gneisses are in the form of massive sheets with sheet joints in
nature. The quarrying in the lease area is semi-mechanized open cast method.
The technical parameters like surface topography, quality variations, and
geotechnical aspects are considered for production and extraction of building
material in the area. It is proposed to work the deposit by adopting benches
formation with ultimate pit slope of 600. Wagon drilling is required for mild
blasting to break the hard sheet rock. The bench height and the width will be
maintained as specified by D.G.M.S. The width of the working benches shall
not be less than the height. Year wise production and development plan indicate
the areas of workings site, disposal of waste, site for afforestration are shown in
the Plate No. 5. The plan also showing position of the working pit proposed for
extension etc. due care has to be taken to maintain and advancing the benches

proposed levels is much above ground water table.
b. Indicate quantum of development and tonnage and grade of production
pit wise as in table below:
The present the quarrying activity will be confined to 2.2658 Ha. out of the
total area of 2.8328 Ha. The remaining area is used for safety zone and
future mining activity. The development and production program for five
years is shown in the (Plate 6). The proposed year-wise working area is

No. 9.
e. Indicate proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed,
and the expected life of the mine and the year from which effected:
(i). Proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed: It is
proposed to produce an average 131843 tons / annum when the quarry is fully
developed
(ii). Mineable reserves: Though the reserves are quite attractive, the mineable
reserves will be reduced due to formation of benches towards boundary line,
this can be solved by having suitable arrangements with adjacent land owner for
full exploitation of the reserves, meanwhile the reserves have been blocked in
7.5 meters safety barrier below the ground level.
Total Mineable reserves:
Total Geological Reserves - Mineable reserves= Non Mineable Reserves
(in Cum).
1120640 – 1023128 = 87512 Cum.
(iii) Anticipated life of the Mine: the quantities of mineable reserves estimated
are total reserves minus non mineable reserves and already extracted,
considered as (economical) marketable reserves. The mineable reserves of
2527126 Tons are available in the lease area. The average annual production is
131843 Tons and thus the life of the mine is 20 years.
f. Attach a note furnishing a conceptual mining plan for the entire
lease period (for “B” category mines) and up to the life of the (for
“A” category mines) based on the geological, mining and
environmental considerations: The Granitic gneiss as building stone
deposit in the quarry area is envisaged to be worked by forming mining
benches of 6 meters height from the ground level and the width shall me
more than the height of the benches with a general pit slope of 60o. The
ultimate pit limit is marked as shown on the quarry Closure Plan (Plate-
9). However, when the granitic gneiss deposit is proved to full depth, the
closure plan will be modified. The quarrying is proposed to be taken with
the full capacity of development and production of on an average of
about 131843 Tons per annum, during the proposed closure plan period.
Any modifications in the in the quantity of production will be intimated
to Department of Mines and Geology. The mined out pits after extraction
of the building material, will be reclaimed by suitable reclamation and
afforestration techniques and also by back filling the pits by the
overburden. The design and layout of the quarry benches is shown on the
above referred plan. During the closure plan period, the anticipated
production for the next 5 years period shall be 659217 Tons.
g. Open Cast Mines:
(i). Describe briefly giving salient features of the mode of working
(mechanized, semi-mechanized, manual): The extraction of building
material proposed to be worked by semi-mechanized method of working.
In view of the prepared quarry plan production of building stone material,
it is planned to operate by deploying machineries for development and
production, the separation of building stone material based on physical
parameters manually with conventional tools like crowbars, hammers,
pickaxe etc. and mechanically using drilling equipment’s, tippers will be
used for quarrying work. The parameters will thus the bench height of
about 3 m and width is more than height of bench and jackhammer
drilling carried with dust proof drilling machineries. As proposed above,
the development of latest mechanization plays a very important role in
the development quarry and production program. The quarrying
operation in notified area planned to be of open cast and semi-
mechanized. The recovery of building stone is generally high i.e. more
than 95%. It requires machinery for increased production.
(ii) Describe briefly the layout of the mine workings, the layout of the
faces and sites for disposal of overburden/ waste: A reference to the
plan enclosed under 4 (b) and 4 (d) will suffice: During the plan period
the development and production will be carried out as shown in the 5
years production and development plan Plate 5. The quarrying is done
manually and semi-mechanized (open cast method). During the
development and production program for the plan period it is proposed to
produce 659217 tons of saleable quantity.

Total 2.8328
ii. Water regime: There are no perennial water sources in around the applied
area within 500 meters radius. Since the lease area is moderate to steeply
sloping, the rain water drains through the surface area and joins to seasonal
water course outside the lease area.
iii. Flora and fauna: There are bushy thorny plants in the surrounding area.
This area is surrounded by villages and quarries hence there are no chances
of wild animals in the area. Only few species of thorny bushes, shrubs and
few trees are grown in the area. Pigeons, sparrows, Crows and Minas
found in the area, rarely deer’s, rabbits fox etc. are seen which are highly
mobile. Apart from this no other faunal habitat is observed in the area.
iv. Quality of Ambient Air, Noise level and Water: The quality of air and
water has not been studied in the area or around the area. Presently there
are no quarries surrounding this area under quarrying operations and there
are no other industries. As there are no other activities, generation of dust
/noise at present is within the limits prescribed by CPCB.
v. Climatic conditions: The area has a tropical climate. The peak summer
will be in the month of April and May, highest temperature will be about
390 C will be during this season and the lowest temperature was recorded
of about 140 C during the months of November and December. During
previous years the rainfall in this area was recorded about 745 mm.
iv. Human Settlements: The area is situated at 1.60 Km. North West of K.J.
Jajur Village, about 1.50 Km. West of Makenahalli village, about 1.7 Km.
east of Dhanayakanapura village, the lease area is connected to earthen
road from Dabespet-Koratagere Satate Highway to K.J. Jajur- villages.
The area lies 7.5 Km North West of Dabespet Town which is Hobli
Headquarter. The area is connected to Village Road connected to
Dabespet-Koratagers SH and K.J. Jajur villages.
vii. Public Buildings, places of Worship and Monument: There are no
public Buildings, places of Monuments within or nearby the area.
viii. Does area (partly or fully) fall under notified area under water
(prevention and control of pollution) Act. 1974: Yes the applied area
falls under Water Act 1974. The applicant will take up necessary
precautions for control of pollution of water sources.

5 Roads 0.0100
6 Green belt 0.4870
7 Untouched Area -
Total 2.8328
ii. Air Quality: The mining operations will be by the manual method. The
workforce will expose to the air is due to dust which gets air borne due
to vehicular movements and dumping only.
iii. Water Quality: During rainy season silt is likely to get mixed with rain
water and flow to the seasonal nala flowing through the area. There are
no toxic elements discharges into the drains from the mining operations.
iv. Noise level: The area is more than 150 M. from the village roads where
the traffic is very low. The mining digging and traffic are the causes of
increasing noise level.
v. Water regime: As the area is a raising ground, there is no danger
envisaged to water regime by this quarry area.
vi. Socio Economics: The main occupation of the surrounding people is
agriculture and allied activities, the mining activity in this belt will
benefit to the local people both directly and indirectly. The direct
beneficiaries will be those who get employed in the quarry as skilled
and un-skilled workers. The indirect beneficiaries will be those who
open small business to sell goods required by the residents whose “per
capita” income will be enhance by the mining activity, and thereby their
purchasing power. In the long run a lot of social goods is expected in the
comparatively backward area when the inhabitant will be sent their
children to school.
vii. Historical Monuments: There are no historical monuments in or
around the area and hence there will be no impact due to mining.
Because of small scale mining there will be no effect.
C. ATTACH AN ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
(SUPPORTED BY APPROPRIATE PLANS AND SECTIONS)
DEFINING THE TIME BOUND ACTION PROPOSED TO BE TAKEN
WITH SEQUENCE AND TIMING IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS (OR
DIAGRAMS SHOULD BE USED)
i. Temporary storage and utilization of top soil: The soil generated is
mixed with pebbles etc. can be used for road maintenance. The soil useful
for agriculture, afforestration, trenches, whenever excavated will be
stored separately in the yard identified within the lease hold to height of
maximum of 0.06 M to keep their microbial activities safe.
ii. Year wise proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining
activities during the 1st to 5 years: No reclamation is proposed in this
plan period because the mining will be continued further depths from
present pit bottom.
iii. Program of afforestration. Year wise for the initial five years: It is
proposed to develop a green belt in proportion of the non-mineralized
area and 7.5 m. buffer zone of the lease boundary. In addition, the place
around the haul road and backfilling area shall have plantation at the
conceptual period. Every year it is proposed to carry out afforestation
over 0.097 Ha. by planting 250 saplings per annum around the quarry
area. The species chosen for green belt are fast growing good canopy and
dense leaf density, eco-friendly commercial/ species and some
ornamental plants to give good aesthetic.
iv. Stabilization and Vegetation of dumps: There is no generation of
overburden / waste in the proposal plan period. Hence, there is no need of
stabilization of the dumps.
v. Measures to control erosion/ sedimentation of water courses: There is
no surface erosion in the subject area because the surface area is exposed
by the granite.
vi. Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Since there are no mine
waters or ground waters, the proposal of pumping out or any sort of
treatment and disposal of water from the quarry does not arise.
vii. Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: No adverse
effects are anticipated on water regime.
viii. Protective measures from ground vibrations / air blast caused by
blasting: There will be drilling and blasting is proposed in this area.
ix. Measures for protecting historical monuments and rehabilitation of
human settlements: There are no historical monuments are located close
by and hence need for protection does not arise.
x. Socioeconomic benefits arising out of mining: Few labors will get
employment and the state Government and Village Panchayath will get
royalty due to mining activity.

3.0 RESERVES: Please refer para No. 3 e (i) (ii) (iii) page No. 9 to 10
3.1 Mining Method: Please refer para No. 4 (b) page No. 12 to 14.
3.2 Mineral beneficiation: There is no mineral beneficiation. Man power will
be used for producing material. The question of tailing from the tailing
ponds does not arise. Only the material removed from the quarry will be
transported from the quarry to the respective stock yard, destination.
3.3 Review of Implementation of Mining Plan/ Scheme including five years
progressive closure Plan up to the final closure of the mine: The
various proposals made in the approved mining plan for the 5 years
period has been carried out to avoid environmental problems in the area.
3.4 Abstract of the proposals for Protecting of Environment:
Temporary storage and Utilization of Top soil: The soil generated is
mixed with pebbles etc., can be used for road maintenance. The soil useful
for agriculture, afforestration and trenches, whenever excavated will be
stored separately in the yard identified within the leasehold to a height of
Maximum 0.5 M to keep their microbial activities safe.
3.5 Quarrying and allied activities: As per the proposed production and
development plan for plan period area for quarrying 2.2658 Ha, Mineral
storage area is 0.02 Ha. The Green belt around the lease area is about
0.4870 Ha.
3.6 Year wise proposal for Reclamation: Since Granite deposits are likely to
continue, concurrent reclamation is not feasible and after working pits are
exhausted, than concurrent backfilling will be proposed. The mined out
areas as shown in the relevant year wise production and development plans
will be not matured enough for reclamation. Hence, the backfilling on
worked out pits for reclamation program is not envisaged presently.
Suitable afforestration technique will be adopted for reclamation after
winning of the mineral. Proper fencing will be provided all round in order
to prevent accidental falling of animals and human trespassing in to the
working areas.
3.7 Afforestration program: It is proposed to develop a green belt in portion
of the non-mineralized area and 7.5 M buffer zone of the lease boundary.
In addition, the place around haul road and backfilling area shall have
plantation at the conceptual period. Every year it is proposed to carryout
afforestration over 0.097` Ha. For planting 250 saplings per annum. The
species chosen from green belt are fast growing with good canopy and
dense leaf density, eco-friendly commercial species and some ornamental
plants to give good aesthetic look are shown on Environment Management
Plan Plate No.9.
3.8 Stabilization of dumps: There is no generation of overburden / waste in the
proposal plan period. Hence, no need of stabilization of the dumps.
Measures to control erosion / sedimentation of water courses: There is no
surface erosion in the lease area because; the surface area is exposed by
the granite.
Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Since there is no mine water
or ground water, the proposal of pumping out or any sort of treatment and
disposal of water from the quarry does not arise.
Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: No adverse
effects are anticipated on water regime.
Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of the
habitat: There are no historical monuments are located close by and hence
need of protection does not arise.
4.0 CLOSURE PLAN:
4.1 Mined – Out Land:
Reclamation of the area will not be considered during the planned period
of 5 years program. In view of the above, reclamation proposed concurrent
to mining and at the end of 5 years without complete extraction of ore
available in the area becomes violation of MCDR. As such the program of
reclamation of mine is not envisaged at this stage.
After complete extraction of estimated reserves the reclamation of area of
land affected by mining activities will be taken up in order to restore to its
original use to the possible extent. The reclamation measures proposed
will be back filling in phased program wherever it is necessary. The deep
pits after completion of mining which could be serving as water ponds will
not be considered for backfilling and will be left as it is after taking
necessary landscaping and providing protective measures in the aspects of
safety by consuming retention wall all along the lease boundary.
The details of the proposed land use are given below:
Type of Land used Extent in Ha. Existing Quarry area 2.2658 Waste dump yard 0.0400 Mineral Stock yard 0.0200 Infrastructure 0.0100 Road 0.0100 Green belt 0.4870 Untouched area -
Total 2.8328
4.2 Water Quality Management: Water quality is good because there is no
source of pollution due to extraction of building stone material.
4.3 Air Quality Management: Dust generated by this quarry activity is quite
less. The major source of air pollution is due to Wagon Drill drilling
activity and loading of overburden / waste. The management of air
quality shall be by suppression of dust by water sprinkling on haulage
roads and wet drilling methods. Also in the vicinity of the area no major
industries are seen and the deposit is worked on very small scale.
4.4 Noise Level and vibration: No deep drilling and blasting activity
involved in quarrying operations. Only small diameter Wagon drilling is
proposed for wire saw cutting. Protective ear muffs, nose masks and
hand glows, safety shoes etc. are provided to reduce the effect of sound /
noise and vibrations for the drill operations.
4.5 Waste Management: The generation of waste material is very less from
the quarry and the same is utilized for afforestration / backfilling.
4.6 Top Soil Management: The soil likely to be generated will be pebbly soil.
This will be heaped in a maximum height of 0.6 M and used in
afforestration trenches. Grass will be planted to arrest erosion due to
wind action.
4.7 Infrastructure: The applicant will construct temporary structure required
to be maintained under statutory obligations which can be removed once
the work is completed. The approach road to the mine will be made and
will be maintained to meet the requirements of transportation. These are
required for utilization till the end of lease period.
4.8 Disposal of quarrying machinery: There is no proposal of disposal of
mining machineries during the present plan period.
5.0 SAFETY AND SECURITY:
The applicant will follow prevailing Mines Act., Karnataka Mines Minerals
Concession Rules & Regulations etc., as well as other directions given to
him time to time by the Directorate General of Mines safety. The applicant
will securely fence the excavated area by barbed wire of 1.5 M height to
prevent the free access and unauthorized people to the quarrying area. The
applicant will appoint security persons to ensure to prevent unauthorized
entry on weekly off days and during the time of discontinuation of
quarrying operation.
6.0 DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT:
All the safety measures during the quarrying will be taken as per the norms
of DGM’s. Safety of the men and machine are most important during this
quarrying activity. No danger to public life and property arises as only
trucks ply from quarry site through public road. There are no water
impoundments at higher levels or at lower contours.
7.0 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DUE TO TEMPORARY
DISCONTINUANCE:
The requisite care and maintenance procedures shall be followed during
temporary discontinuance of the quarry. The notice of temporary
discontinuance in prescribe forms shall be submitted to the appropriate
authorities concerned in this regard with details of protection measures
being taken up. Security of the working areas fencing and suitable display
boards shall be put up during the temporary period of discontinuance.
8.0 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE
AND MAN POWER RETRECHMENTS:
8.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of the
continuation family occupation and scope of joining the occupation
back: The locals employed are about 50%. Those who are directly
employed, they are basically from agriculture back ground, they will be
put back to their original occupation. Necessary counseling will be
taken care.
8.2 Compensation given to be given to the employee connecting with
sustenance of him and their family members: Compensation as
provided in the statue will be given, at the time of final mine / quarry
closure to the eligible persons.
8.3 Satellite occupations connected to the quarrying industry-number
of persons engaged therein-continuation of such business after
quarry closes: Most of the satellite occupations are not fully depending
up on the quarrying activity or closure of mines and the quarrying
operations is small scale. So the occupations like workshops hotel and
tea shops will not affect continuance their business.
8.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of
mining lease area and any other remnant activities: Security and
essential service to the people will continue to be employed for purely
shorter term / temporary basis, where operations are discontinued for
longer period, it is not continue with employment and so there will be
reduced to minimum, counseling will be extended for their
rehabilitation.
8.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around
due to closure of the mine / quarry: There will be effect on their
economy, communication, transportation to some extent, but still these
difficulties will be manageable to large extent. The details will be given
in the final mine / quarry closure plan.
9.0 ABANDONMENT / REHABILITATION COST AND
COST ESTIMATION:
The cost based estimation on the activities required for implementing the
protective and rehabilitation measures including their maintenance and
monitoring program.
10.0 TIME SCHEDULE FOR ABANDONMENT:
The present plan prepared is a progressive quarry / Mine Closure Plan
indicating the reclamation and rehabilitation measures being taken up
simultaneously with the quarrying operations. No abandonment of
quarrying activities is envisaged. The man power and other resources for
implementing the protective and rehabilitation measures will be dealt in
detail in the quarry closure plan to be prepared for approval before
abandonment of the quarry. The details of afforestration inside and outside
the quarrying lease area, reclamation and rehabilitation, environmental
monitoring details, machinery performance and socioeconomic impact of
quarrying shall be regularly monitored and furnished to DMG records of the
same shall also be maintained.
