MINING PLAN FOR ROUGHSTONE QUARRY

1.0 INTRODUCTION:

1. The Mining plan is prepared for Tmt.A.Mallika, who was the successful bidder in the

tendur cum auction. The Rough stone area is a Government land in the

S.F.No. 63(Part) of Karattampatti Village, Musiri Taluk, Tiruchirappalli District and

she has received the precise area communication letter from District Collector vide Rc.No.

385/2017/Mines Dated 21.08.2017 to produce Environmental clearance of the above

said area.

2. Accordingly, Mining Plan is Prepared Under rule 41 & 42 of Tamil Nadu Minor Mineral

Concession Rules, 1959 by incorporating the conditions imposed in the precise area

communication letter and by incorporating all the details proposed in the letter no.

DEIAA-TN/Minor Minerals / 2012 dated 17.09.2012 of District Level Environmental

Impact Assessment Authority.

3. Geological Reserves is estimated as 599340m3. Mineable Reserves is estimated as

Rough stone = 118658M3 and Recoverable Reserves = 116285 M3@98%.

4. Proposed Rough Stone Production for 5 Years= 118658m3 and after leaving the

necessary safety distance.

5. Environmental parameters,

There is no interstate boundary around 10Kms radius.

There is no wild life animal sanctuary within 10Kms radius form the project site area

under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Therefore the project seeks clearance only

from District Level Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA), under B2

Category.

6. Environmental measures to be adopted shall be,

Dust Control at source while drilling and blasting,

Dust suppression at loading point and transport haul roads,

Noise Control in blasting, control of fly rock missiles and vibration by doing peak

particle velocity with in standard as prescribed by the DGMS and MOEF.

Unnecessary land degradation should be avoided or damaged land should be

reclaimed or rehabilitated.

9

Avoid uneven rat hole mining and follow scientific and systematic mining by safe

bench system of open cast mining.

Mining near major fracture zones if any should be avoided to control ground water

fluctuation in the adjacent agricultural lands.

Emission test of vehicles should be in stack to maintain minimum emission level of

flue gases.

Noise level should not exceed 80db and the vehicles should use only permitted Air

Horn while on road near residential areas.

Safety zones as prescribed by the Department of Geology and Mining from adjacent

infrastructures should be strictly adhere to.

And any other conditions as stipulated by the concerned authorities should be

followed to protect the environment.

by the concerned authorities in a portable

magazine of S & B types.

3. The Applicant is advised to engage an

authorized explosive agency to carry out

blasting.

4. The blasting time at a day is proposed to be 12

11.6 Plan for Air, Dust

Suppression

: Air or dust expected to be generated from drilling

process, hauling roads, places of excavation etc.., will

be suppressed by periodical wetting of land bywater spraying.

11.7 Plan for Noise Control : Quarrying of Rough stone will be carried out by

drilling and blasting by using low power explosives.

However, periodical noise level monitoring will be

carried out to check the noise level in and around the

quarry site.

11.8 Environmental Impact

Assessment Statement

Describing Impact on

mining on the next five

years

: Factors to be considered for EIA are,

1. Dust generation,

2. Land degradation

3. Stabilization and vegetation of dumps

4. Adverse effect on water regime

5. Socio economic benefits arising out of Mining.

6. Noise and Vibration.

a. Dust : Dust is expected to be generated from drilling,

hauling roads; place of excavation etc and it will be

suppressed by periodical wetting of lands.

b. Land degradation : Land degradation is by means of cutting the trees

and removal of fertile soil does not arise. Proposed

usage of land for the period of lease shall be less than

1.5 hectares.

c. Stabilization and

vegetation of

dumps

: If the reject materials are produced during quarrying

activities, shall proposed to dump along the lease

boundary.

d. Measures to

minimize Adverse

effect on water

regime

: There are no chemicals of high metals and no

hazardous substances are likely to be quarried

during the quarrying of Rough stone and hence, the

in no way the quality of ground water will be affected.

e. Socio economic

benefits arising

out of mining

: To provide Employment opportunities of the nearby

villagers.

25

f. Noise and

vibration

: Since, no deep hole blasting is proposed with small

dia explosives are used for breaking the hard rock

and boulders, the noise and vibration will be low and

are within the permissible limits.

11.9 Proposal for Waste

Management

: The wastes are generated during the mining period is

2373m3 shall be dumped in northern side lease

boundary.

11.10

.

Proposal of Reclamation

of Land affected during

mining activities and at

the end of mining.

: At the end of Mining, Pit shall be used for fish

culture.

11.11 Program for Afforestation : Proposed to plant in the nearby schools like

tamarind, casuarinas etc will be planted along the

lease boundary at a rate 10 trees per annum with an

interval of 5m.
