1.3 Geology
1.3.1 Topography
Topographically the area proposed for grant is a pediment hillock gently slopes
towards east direction. Generally it is low lying plain land with an average altitude
Sri T.N.Praveen Kumar Reddy, Colour Granite Quarry – 1.200 Ha. Cluster Environnent Management Plan
M/s.Pragathi labs & Consultants Pvt.Ltd. Page No. 10
of 771-778m and above MSL dendritic to sub dendritic drainage is observed. The
area is elevated towards south of the hillock and sloping towards east direction.
The area is devoid of any forest or tree cover. It comprises shrubs only.
There are no prominent natural drainage channels in the area. In general the area
is plain land.
1.3.2 Regional Geology
The geological foramtions in the chittoor district can broadly be dived in to distinict
and well marked groups and older group of metamorphic rocks belonging to
archean and younger group of sedimentary rocks belonging to the proterozoic age
the later cover part if gudipala block. The remaining pats of district is occupied by
archean roacks which consist of schist, Gneisses, Quartz veins and basic dykes. The
archean rocks have suffered considerable degree of tectonic disturbances, as a
result of which the rocks have been metamorphosed and recrystallized.

1.3.3 Local Geology
The subject area belongs to a hillock with a height of 24-26m gently sloping
towards east direction. The area is exposed with white color granite sheet rock
intruded with quartz & small dolerite dykes. The Subject area is exposed with sheet
Rock of pink color granite which is locally named with branded rock of white colour
granite of Palamaplli or Madanapalli. Either side of the area intruded in to the
granite gneisses, it indicating it will be youngest suits of granitic rocks. The
peninsular gneissic complex comprises gneisses (migmatite), gray granite and pink
granite and gneisses granite. The intrusive relationship of the granite rock is
evident by the presence of tongues and apophyges within the older rocks and the
occurrence of xenoliths of the older rocs within the granite.
1.3.4 Litho units
White colour granite consists of quartz, orthoclase feldspar and biotite Mica, low
quantities of olivine with iron oxide minerals. The rock belongs to Archean age.The
gneiss in general show banding due alteration of light colored quartzo-fedlspathic

4.0 Mining and Methods
Open cast method of mining is carried out in this mine by semi mechanization by
using compressor operated jack hammer drills, excavators and dumper etc.
transportation will be made by trucks to dispatching point.
Closed space drilling of 0.2 m was adopted along a straight line and charged with
low explosives to avoid feather rocks.
The mining will be followed in the form of linear cut method. This involves loosing
of the primary block from mother rock. Hence primary cutting will be done by line
drilling method where closed spaced parallel holes along straight line will be made.
Line drilling method is used for separation of primary blocks.

described in the following paragraphs.
Sri T.N.Praveen Kumar Reddy, Colour Granite Quarry – 1.200 Ha. Cluster Environnent Management Plan
M/s.Pragathi labs & Consultants Pvt.Ltd. Page No. 18
8.1 Sources of Pollution and Control measures
The major sources of pollution are air and noise due to proposed mine from digging
and transportation of material to the far places.
8.1.1 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
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
8.1.2 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)
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
• Vehicular maintenance will ensure less noise.
• Usage of sharp teeth on the JCB will reduce noise during loading operations

M/s.Pragathi labs & Consultants Pvt.Ltd. Page No. 19
8.1.3 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 surroundings 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 30 to 40m below from the surface and since
the mine depth during first four years is 18m 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.
