3.4.1 Topography The Quarry lease area is an undulating terrain interspersed with an elevated mound, which are mostly covered by small rock boulders. These boulders are of irregular shapes and vary widely in size and shape. The mound feature is a result of weathering and denudation and raise in height from the general ground level to about 140m.The area thus presents a rugged topography. The general soil cover in the area comprises of brown clayey soil type with kankary encrustations. The Q.L applied area is devoid of any forest or tree cover and the only vegetation seen comprises of shrubs. There are no agricultural lands in the leased area. The surrounding low lands however have been converted to arable lands and are owned local residents. 3.4.2 Regional Geology The region of the subject area is belonging to Peninsular Gneiss of Archaean group. The Peninsular Gneissic Complex comprising migmatite gneiss, grey granodiorite, porphyritic granite and intruded by dolerite and aplite veins The Peninsular Gneissic Complex comprises gneiss-migmatite-granite suite of rocks. They are highly variable in mineralogical composition appearance structure and relative ages. The individual members have not been distinguished in a major part of the area. However, granite and migmatite gneiss occupy a large part of the area while bands of relatively younger coarse-grained gneissic granite occur in the north eastern part.


Page No. 6

The Peddapally belt located along the Peninsular Gneissic Complex comprises a complex assemblage of gneissic variants and granitic rocks which occupy almost the entire lease area the Peninsular Gneissic Complex in the area is representing mostly by biotite hornblende granite and migmatitein north eastern part of the lease area and made up of rocks of high grade metamorphism, migmatisation and intense deformation. These granites, which are often porphyritic, are intrusive into the gneissic terrain and contain alkali feldspar space. The later in parts the colour to the granite which ranges from light to deep pink because of the massive nature of these intrusive they are amenable for producing large size blocks, due to the wide spaced joint pattern in hearted to them. The rock is exposed in the form of cluster of big boulders and occasionally sheets. 3.4.3 Local Geology Soil covers the periphery of the area on three sides (north, west & southern) along the boundary line. But major portion of the area is covered by weathered Granitic - Gneiss out crop. This rock type might have been derived from migmatisation of two different rock types of a granite material, which may take from magma have intruded through re-resting host rock. The area is mostly consists lot of big granite boulders on the surface all along the trend of North to South. In this area the deposit is having exposures on the surface to maximum height of 15m from the ground level. In this area about 1-2m thick material is containing small, medium size and uneven, boulders with multiple fractures and joint zones. At surface itself the ripple type and bluish granite boulders are exposed with a height of 2m on surface some big boulders also exist with prominent ripples good quality. However the size of the boulders varies from 2–3m3 will be utilized for marketing after necessary dressing. The sheet rock type’s boulders are available at the reef of the mound itself. After removing such boulders and soil the sheet rock will be reached. The granite sheet rock with ripples of light pink, and bluish colour (Quartz, Stone & Metal, biotite and epidote) mineral distribution is observed in the coarse to medium grain size fabrication of bluish granite. The ripples are formed due to the distribution of different rock forming minerals wavy action with different lineation and foliation of gneissic structure. The boulders are predominantly more in wavy design granites which are of 6 x 4 x 3 size on the mound of the deposit and small boulders like 1 x 1 x 0.5 m size are moderately distributed on the slope of the area.

The litho unit of the area is as follows:

Soil Cover : Loose colour soil

Gneissic Porphyry granite : Ripples multi-colour granite (Boulder

zone)

Light bluish Granites : Bluish metal with quartz rich sheet

Environmental Management Plan

9. Anticipated Impacts & Mitigation Measures due to proposed project

The environment management plan is prepared with a view to facilitate effective environmental management of the project in general and implementation of the mitigation measures in particular. The EMP provides a delivery mechanism to address potential adverse impacts and to introduce standards of good practice to be adopted for all project works. The anticipated impacts due to mining and allied activities are air, noise, land, water and socio-economic along with the mitigations to the extent possible are described in the following paragraphs.


Page No. 12

9.1 Sources of Pollution and Control measures The major sources of pollution are air and noise due to proposed mine from blasting and transportation of material to the far places. 9.1.1 Air Pollution and its Mitigation Anticipated Sources of Air Pollution

Digging & Excavation (Dust, Non-fugitive) Loading & unloading and Transportation by vehicles (fugitive and line

sources Air Quality Management Road - Regular repair (every 6 months) and Grading -Regular water sprinkling on haulage roads during dry conditions Drilling -Wet drilling and usage of sharper drill bits Trucks -Avoid overloading of trucks and unnecessary idling of vehicles Movement - Trucks to be covered with tarpaulin/plastic Enforcing speed limit (<25 kmph) Plantation -Green belt development and avenue plantation 9.1.2 Noise pollution and its mitigation Sources of Noise 1. Loaded trucks movement generates 80- 84 dB (A) (2-3 trucks short time stay at mine area) 2. Digging and excavation activities - 70 dB(A) (Only during day time) 3. Blasting (Occasionally) & drilling- (89 dB(A)), blasting gives only outburst of noise (if required Blasting operations only for few minutes ) 4. Normal values when mining is not in operation (40-45 dB(A) Control Measures

• Mining operations will be carried out during day time only and avoid inconvenience to the nearby habitations

• The noise propagation values found to be less than the prescribed noise limits

• Ear plugs will be provided to the noise prone areas • Blasting will be done through controlled methods (occasionally) • Vehicular maintenance will ensure less noise.


Page No. 13

• Usage of sharp teeth on the JCB will reduce noise during loading operations 9.1.3 Water Quality

As the proponent is allocated dump area to accumulate the waste generated from the quarry and retaining wall also will be provided so there is less impact anticipated on the water courses due to proposed quarry.

The rainwater flows through the slopes of the area and drained off through nalas. The ground water table in this belt is 50 m below surface and since the quarry depth will not reach upto this depth in the near future 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 simple techniques like digging trenches all round to drain off rainwater and preventing surface run off from entering and flooding working pit. The water will be pumped by using electric motor, if and when required, the mine drainage can be effectively managed and the pit kept dry to keep up the production schedule. Garland drains will be provided around the mine wherever required to arrest any soil from the mine area being carried away by the rain water 10.0 Occupational Safety and Health Safety precautions as per Metalliferrous mines Regulations and Mine Rules

and Act shall be taken. Minimum distance of 7.5 m will be left all along the mine lease boundary.

The mined out area will be kept out of bounds for public by providing fencing.

Occupational Safety and Health to Control Exposure to Noise * Reducing the exposure time of workers to the higher noise levels * Smooth blasting techniques, special explosives and silent non-explosive

demolishing agent will be used. 11.0 House Keeping Proper house keeping and cleanliness will be maintained in the infrastructure facilities. Wet mopping will be adopted to conserve water. Sign boards will be provided in the work areas and the road and building highlighting the safety and occupational aspects. 12.0 Transport Systems

The finished product is transported by road using road trucks. The lessee will deploy tippers to transport the waste blocks, unfinished and finished blocks from quarry site to yard and trucks to transport sized dimensional blocks from yard to


Page No. 14

destination. Cranes will do the loading of blocks. The materials while transporting do not pose any hazard. Sufficient parking facilities will be provided for vehicles loading and unloading of material. Safety signs will be displayed inside and outside the mine to avoid road accidents. 13.0 Afforestation Programme and Flora-fauna Flora and Fauna Due to water stress conditions and edaphic factors the biomass cover is less.

Tree coverage is less and mostly herbs and shrubs are dominating. The vegetation is very scarce. No plant species is found that is ecologically

important (Rare, endangered, threatened etc.) restricted to this area. The loss of biomass can be compensated by providing ideal conditions

(proper supervision, water, fertilizer etc.) for the proposed greenbelt. Other than domestic animals no ecologically important animals are reported

in this area.

13.1 Proposed afforestation The soil scraped from the surface will be stored temporarily along the edges of the mine till the complete extraction. This ensures proper preservation and utilization of the soil. 13.2 Proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining The proposed mining will result in reducing the height of the area and exposing the parent rock. It will be covered with a mantle of soil to serve the dual purpose of utilization of soil and reclaiming the ground affected by mining. The reclamation will commence after the completion of mining activity. 14.0 Environmental Greening Program

Environmental greening program is an important component of the Environment Management Plan and is an imperative requirement for any major industrial activity, as per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment and forests, Govt. of India. Conceptualization, design and implementation of the proposed activity, taking into account the specific requirement of the proposed mining activity and the site conditions are presented. Each year some of the part of the barrier zone will be subjected to afforestation and care will be taken to protect the saplings. Fruit growing trees are proposed to be planted.
