Drilling and Blasting: Three sub benches are created of 2.50 mts height each (including sub grade drilling), when all three benches reaches its ultimate limit, three benches will be joined together to form a height of 7.0 mts. Blast hole will be by jack hammer where the diameter is 33 mm and the depth of the hole is 2.50 mts. Blasting pattern is generally square or staggered pattern with burden ranging from 0.50 to 0.75 meters and spacing of 0.75 – 1.00 meters. Usually single / double row of holes is blasted along free face to achieve optimum powder factor, best fragmentation and minimized adverse impacts on account of blasting. Maximum numbers of holes will be blasted at a time in a round are generally limited to 15 to 20 and milli second delay detonators are used to mitigate adverse impacts such as air blast, throw and the ground vibration. Holes are electrically detonated using electric detonators. Nitrate mixture types / ANFO of explosives are used for blasting with 20 to 25 percent, proportion of primer / booster cartridges and rest as column charge. About 0.5 to 0.75kgs of explosives are loaded in 33 mm diameter holes. And powder factor ranging between 5 to 6 tons per kgs of explosives is achieved. Subsequent to the drilling and blasting, the material so dislodged / loosens from the rock mass, the big boulders will be broken by rock breakers. There after the material is loaded into trucks / tippers of 10.0 tonnes capacity with the help of the excavator. The loaded material is transported to the client. Employment The said mining provides direct employment to about 30 people in each mining and generates indirect employment for several people. Most of the directly employed people are skilled.

Based on the mode and method so adopted and taking into the consideration of geological parameters of the granite body, the mining pit is designed such that the height of the bench is kept about 7.00 mts max., and the width is kept min 5.00 mts, maintaining 54˚ pit slope. Three sub benches are created of 2.50 mts height each (including sub grade drilling), when all three benches reaches its ultimate limit, three benches will be joined together to form a height of 7.0 mts. 3.5.1 Drilling & Blasting The broad blasting parameters are determined for the blasting pattern and blast design, which are as follows:



Since the bench height needs to be maintained 7.0 mts, three sub benches will be created of 2.50 mts height each (including sub grade drilling) and these benches will be joined together to form 7.00 mts height. Blast hole will be by jack hammer where the diameter is 33 mm and the depth of the hole is 2.50 mts. Blasting pattern is generally square or staggered pattern with burden ranging from 0.50 to 0.75 meters and spacing of 0.75 – 1.00 meters. Usually single / double row of holes is blasted along free face to achieve optimum powder factor, best fragmentation and minimized adverse impacts on account of blasting. Maximum numbers of holes will be blasted at a time in a round are generally limited to 15 to 20 and milli second delay detonators are used to mitigate adverse impacts such as air blast, throw and the ground vibration. Holes are electrically detonated using electric detonators. Nitrate mixture types / ANFO of explosives are used for blasting with 20 to 25 percent, proportion of primer / booster cartridges and rest as column charge. About 0.5 to 0.75kgs of explosives are loaded in 33 mm diameter holes. And powder factor ranging between 5 to 6 tons per kgs of explosives is achieved. 3.5.2 Extent of Mechanism The projected average annual handling including building stone and waste rock is to an extent of 94,876 tonnes. The adequate handling capacity of loading units will be deployed. For hauling proposed quantities of building stone separate trucks are hired and to handle the waste, it is met with one tipper. List of Mining machinery deployed in the mining along with their capacities and other details are shown in below table:

The above said topsoil will be stacked separately and it will be used for plantation purpose 3.7 Site Security and Safety Before onset of monsoon, drains are cut along toe of the quarry faces to divert the surface run off. Garland drain is provided at the quarry top to regulate monsoon water and direct the same to the settling ponds / quarry pit to contain the quarry wash off and to avoid the same joining to the adjoining surface water bodies / water courses. It also helps to avert eventual collapses and damages to the quarry faces. The pit will be fenced, such that no habitats can enter the pit. And watch and ward is provided round the clock. Security signage will be posted at the entrance and where ever it is necessary in the quarry. The remoteness of the quarry and the onsite presence of operations personnel will make perimeter fencing unnecessary. Audible warning systems will be employed for all blasting operations at posted intervals prior to any detonations.

4.5.4 Water & Hydrology Environment There are no perennial water courses / bodies within the leasehold area. Apart from this the water source in this area is mainly storm and ground water. Entire storm water flows through the minor watercourses and joins the adjoining seasonal nallah. The drainage pattern in this area is dendritic in nature. Water resources in this area is mainly the storm water and ground water, this area receives a scanty to moderate rainfall ranging from 600 to 800 mm annually. Hence the water table in this area is very deep i.e, 70 – 80 meters below the general ground level. More so, Based on the observations made in and around the area it was found that the general ground level in this area is 672 to 677 m above MSL, and the general ground water table is 70 mts below general ground level i.e 605 MSL. The bottom most working of the quarry is 650 m MSL,



hence no mining operation is going to touch the general ground water table. The bottom most working of the quarry is 650 m above MSL, hence no quarrying operation is going to touch the general ground water table. During the monsoon, there will be an impact in the form of surface runoff, wash off where the material will be transported to the local water bodies. There are no nallahs / water bodies at the quarry site, however there are few Nallahs exists near the quarry site, where the entire storm water flows and joins adjoining seasonal Nallahs. There are very few bore wells located near the project site and most of the ground water source is the bore wells, which are mainly used for drinking and agriculture purposes, however the water samples from bore well nearby villages were collected and analyzed and also tank water from the ID hally village was also analyzed for physical, chemical and biological parameters. 4.5.4.1 Ground Water To know the present water quality levels, as a part of baseline studies four water samples were collected in and around the mining area the details of the same are given in below table:

Toposheet No. with Latitude & Longitude of all corner boundary points / pillars: This area falls under the Survey of India Topomap No 58 / G / 5, the latitude and longitude of the said area is given below:


A key plan showing mining area location and its surrounding 5.0 kms radius is enclosed as Plate No. 1 and this area falls under the Survey of India Topomap No 58 / G / 5. The location of the lease area is shown on the Karnataka political map along with the accessibility, port, harbor and other details, is enclosed as Plate No. 4. Further the lease area is marked on the village plan and enclosed as Plate No. 2. And also the said area is also marked on the Google image and enclosed as Plate No. 5. The latitude and longitude so recorded of all the individual boundary pillars are depicted on the Surface plan along with the surface features and is enclosed as Plate No. 6. 6.4 Water Management There are no perennial water courses / bodies within the quarry area. Apart from this the water source in this area is mainly storm and ground water. Entire storm water flows through the minor watercourses and joins the adjoining seasonal nallah. The drainage pattern in this area is dendritic in nature.

Based on the observations made in and around the area it was found that the general ground level in this area is 672 to 677 m above MSL, and the general ground water table is 70 mts below general ground level i.e 605 MSL. The bottom most working of the quarry is 650 m MSL, hence no mining operation is going to touch the general ground water table.



Due to the mining activities such as loading, dumping, haulage and etc., there will be impact on the surface water. However there are no surface water bodies within the lease area, hence no impact is anticipated within the lease area. Due to this activity, there will be an impact on the surface water bodies which are outside the lease area by way of surface run off / wash off such as water courses, nallahs near by mining. During the monsoon, where the material will be transported to the local water bodies. And also the impact on the ground water due to mining activities is insignificant. Following protective measures will be adopted to maintain the water quality: 1. Garland drains are cut all along the benches prior to the monsoon to avert the water into

the pit. 2. No mine working will touch the ground water. 3. Where ever the water flow is likely to join with nallahs or water bodies, only supernatant

overflow from retention tanks be allowed for discharge. Retention wall / rubble walls will be constructed to arrest any wash off / surface runoff from the mining area.

6.5 Sewerage System There will not be any wastewater generation from the operation. Domestic waste water will be treated through CPCB approved soak pit and septic tank. 6.6 Solid Waste Management About 36,835 tonnes of waste is going to generate during the entire life of the quarry. This waste is mainly weathered rock and intercalated waste. The waste so generated is mainly due to incidental to the quarrying activities such as quarrying losses, overburden material, recovery loss: below table shows the generation of waste successive block of five years: Qty MT

Blocks of Five years Waste 1st block of five years 23,698 2nd Block of five years 13,137 Total 36,835

The waste so generated during the 1st Block of Five years is about 23,698 tonnes, part of the waste so generated (say 3,000 tonnes) will be utilized for road repair and maintenance and the balance 20,698 tonnes will be back filled in the old worked out pit which is outside the lease area and lies towards southern side of the quarry area. This worked out pit having an holding



capacity of 35,000 tonnes (70 M * 50 M * 5 M * 2 = 35,000 tonnes). This will suffice for the ensuing plan period. A Conceptual plan showing the proposed above backfilling is enclosed as Plate No. 12. About 13,137 tonnes of waste is likely to generate during the second block of five years, this will be progressively backfilled in the workout pit within the quarry area. The backfilling of the proposed area is depicted on the Conceptual plan enclosed as Plate No. 12. Backfilling will be carried out in a systematic and scientific way. Sufficient protective measures will be taken up to stabilize the backfilling area. While building up the backfilling, the backfilling area is properly graded and terraced wherever it is necessary. Terracing is always accompanied with plantation for stabilization of terraced slopes. Backfilling slopes are suitably protected from any environmental damages, providing all the required protective measures such as terracing, plantation, construction of toe walls / retention walls, garland drains and etc., All along the toe of the backfilling within the pit, protective walls shall be constructed. Wherever necessary garland drains will be formed to arrest the wash off during the monsoon. Adjacent to the garland drain retention wall will also be constructed all along the periphery to arrest the runoff. 6.7 Power Requirement & Supply / Source As far as quarrying operations are considered, no power is required because quarrying operation is carried with the help of earth moving machineries which runs by HSD. However for the administrative work, work shop, and labors hostel the power is required. To meet this power supply is taken from the local electricity department. Diesel Generator will be kept as a standby. 6.8 Environmental Considerations 6.8.1 Air pollution control The pollution released from the quarrying activity will be from the machineries (Heavy Earth Movers, compressor, etc) and ferrying vehicles. For the purpose of the quarry activity and to maintain a quality environment selection of good condition machineries/vehicles shall be undertaken and servicing shall be undertaken regularly so as to limit vehicular emission within the standard prescribed by CPCB/KSPCB.



Quarrying activity contributes to pollution of air due to working of heavy earth moving & Mining machineries. To know the impacts of quality of air, the parameter such as Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring is being carried out through consultant having MoEF & NABL accreditations. The Dust is also another component of air pollution which is released from the stone quarry. The drilling activity generates comparatively more than other activity such as breaking and loading. Another common source of dust dispersal is from the haulage road. The movement of vehicles (dumper & tripper) to ferry the rock fragments is one of the source of dust. The improvement of haulage road is the main remedy to suppress dust during transportation. Also water sprinklers shall be utilized to check the dusty road in the operation area. However may be the impact, to reduce the same, following measures are adopted.

1. Water sprinkling will be done at regular interval on haul roads, pit and etc., to avoid the emission of dust into atmosphere.

2. Wet drilling will be adopted to avoid the dust in the air atmosphere. 3. Regular maintenance of haul roads to avoid the dust generation.

6.8.2 Water Pollution Control In this quarrying activity there is no utilization of water for the process. The requirement is for drinking and domestic purposes and that shall be collected from nearby tanker/tube well. Other requirement is for plantation work undertaken and dust suppression. Due to the mining activities such as loading, dumping, haulage and etc., there will be impact on the surface water. However there are no surface water bodies within the lease area, hence no impact is anticipated within the lease area. Due to this activity, there will be an impact on the surface water bodies which are outside the lease area by way of surface run off / wash off such as water courses, nallahs near by mining. During the monsoon, where the material will be transported to the local water bodies. And also the impact on the ground water due to mining activities are insignificant. Following protective measures will be adopted to maintain the water quality: 1. Garland drains are cut all along the benches prior to the monsoon to avert the water into

the pit.



2. No mine working will touch the ground water. 3. Where ever the water flow is likely to join with nalas or water bodies, only supernatant

overflow from retention tanks be allowed for discharge. Retention wall / rubble walls will be constructed to arrest any wash off / surface runoff from the mining area.

A toilets shall be constructed which is of temporary structure. The domestic effluent will be treated in the CPCB Approved Soak Pit and Septic Tank. 6.8.3 Noise Pollution Control The noise from vehicular movement can be reduced by leveling road for a smoother drive. In above plantation and formation of green belt all around the quarry mine also attenuate noise. Due to the mining activities such as loading, drilling, dumping, haulage and etc., there will be disturbance in the ambient noise levels. The people working in the mine site will only be affected. More over the quarrying is remote and where there is no cluster of human settlements up to 2.00 kms radius from the quarry area; the impact of the noise is negligible. Since the quarrying is mechanized, the noise pollution is mainly due to the Mining machinery and movement of trucks and drilling and blasting activities. There will be impact in surrounding area due to the noise generation. To reduce the impact on the noise following measures will be adopted:

1. Preventive maintenance of HEMM and Trucks 2. Controlled blasting will be carried out to avoid noise levels. 3. No employees are allowed to work without PPE’s where the noise levels are high and

beyond the limits. 4. Plantation will be created on lease periphery, which will act as acoustic barrier for

noise transmission. 6.8.4 Waste Material Management The waste rock in this mine is mainly, the topsoil and the intercalated waste and weathered rocks. The waste generated at this mine is about 5 - 6 % of the total production, this is generated mainly due to the mining loses and incidental to the mining. Yearly generation of waste rock for the plan period is given in below table:



Year Qty. in tonnes 1st Year 4,737 2nd Year 4,737 3rd Year 4,744 4th year 4,737 5th Year 4,744 Total 23,698

The waste so generated at this quarry during the ensuing plan period, part of the waste so generated (say 3,000 tonnes) will be utilized for road repair and maintenance and the balance 12,815 tonnes will be backfilled in the old worked out pit which is outside the quarry area and lies towards southern side of the notified area. This worked out pit is having a holding capacity of 35,000 tonnes (70 M * 50 M * 5 M * 2 = 35,000 tonnes). A Conceptual plan showing the proposed above backfilling is enclosed as Plate No. 12. The waste generated at the mine is transported to backfilling site by tipper / dumper trucks. A wheel loader / excavator is continuously provided to level waste material unloaded by tipper Trucks and spread laterally in area earmarked. Continuous movements of tipper trucks while unloading consolidate the ground. Water is regularly sprinkled in rounds over the dumps to control the blowing dust.

6.8.4.1 Mitigative Measures A wheel loader will be provided to level waste material unloaded by tipper Trucks and spread laterally in area earmarked. Continuous movements of tipper trucks while unloading consolidate the ground. Water is regularly sprinkled in rounds over the dumps to control the blowing dust.

While building up, dumps are properly graded and terraced with provision of contour drainage. It is ensured that the angle of repose of dump will be maintained 25 degree. Dump slopes are suitably protected from any environmental damages, providing such as rubble walls, trenches, and etc.



All along the toe of the dump garland drains will be formed to arrest the wash off during the monsoon. Adjacent to the garland drain retention wall will also be constructed all along the periphery of the dump to arrest the runoff of the dump effectively. During the post mine closure, entire dump material will be reclaimed and backfilled in the quarry pit. The details of solid waste management are given in below Table.

Garland drain and retention wall will be constructed all along the periphery of the dump to arrest the runoff of the dump effectively.

Domestic Waste - The sludge generated from the septic tank on a periodical basis will be dried and will be used as manure for plantation.

6.8.5 Occupational health and Safety Since the activity of the project involves drilling, rock breaking, loading and transportation, the primary safety for the workers is the main concern of the project. Generally Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) shall be provided to all individuals inside the Quarry Lease Area. The worker which are more concerned with the activity of drilling work, additional protective equipments shall be provided such as Thick Gloves, Goggles, ear plugs, thick boot wears, etc. The secondary safety of workers health shall also be given the same importance. Secondary health threat arises from disease causing vectors and untidy housekeeping. The workers’ health can also be at risk from communicable diseases which may be seasonal or pandemic. Sanitation of the mine area, provision of standard drinking water, clean system of toilet, etc are the first steps to protect spreading of communicable diseases. Other condition such as unhygienic disposal of waste, unscientific disposal of human waste, logging of water specially in quarry pits, etc. are the secondary criteria which spread sporadic and deadly diseases in the mines. Such quarry pits are the source of Dengue fever, Chicken-gunia, Malaria, etc. Avoiding water logging, regular spraying of insecticide, etc are the measure that can be undertaken for effective protection from the life threatening diseases.



Also workers exposed in high dust area are at the risk of lungs disease such as Asthma, Bronchitis, and Silicosis. Thus for high dust area worker shall wear mask. In addition first aid box shall be stored in one of the temporary shed inside the QL area. Also regular health check up from professional medical practitioners (once in a month) shall be arranged. 6.8.6 Social Responsibility Quarrying sites are generally remote and under developed. Standard of living of people in such areas is normally low, therefore due to industrial activity like Quarrying, people residing in the nearby villages within the buffer zone are to be benefited by direct and indirect employment opportunities created by the Quarrying activities. People are also beneficiaries for the facilities developed due to Quarrying activity.

Lessee shall provide required Medical facility to all the employees at the quarry such as first aid, regular checkup, ambulance etc. In addition lessee also provides the medical checkup camps to the local villagers, supply of drinking water, and contribution of funds for social and cultural programme. Quarrying activity contributes towards economic up-liftment by way of job opportunities in the region. Hence there will be an increase in quality of life in the area. Quarrying activity will also boost the ancillary industries, business and market establishments. The state government also will earn revenue in terms of royalty. 6.8.6.1 Corporate Social Responsibility Proposed: Quarrying activity will employ people from nearby villages, due to this people are

benefited by direct and indirect employment and also standard of living of the people will also improve.

The project proponent will provide Medical facility to all the employees within quarry. Medical facility shall be extended to the nearby needy population around the project site.

Quarrying activity contributes towards economic prosperity in getting jobs in the region. Quarrying activity will also improve the ancillary industries, business and market establishments.

The state government also will receive revenue in terms of royalty. Apart from the above, as a part of Corporate Social Responsibilities, the Project proponent has proposed to initiate certain socio-economic activities in the surrounding villages. The proposed details of CSR are given in Table:
