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



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



minerals and dark colored biotite hornblende minerals. Due to crisscross jointing

and quartz veins are less and it is useful for dimensional stone.

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.

7.0 Use of Mineral: Granite is the chief material for the export industries like

monuments, flooring slabs, Kitchen articles, sculptures & export. Based on the

demand of Granite, the lessee intends to produce the required quantity of Colour

Granite for domestic market.

The owner is exporting the material to the import trade centers and also local

factories. And he has contacted the buyers at Chennai and other important trade

centers to export white colour granite from this area. At present china and Europe

etc. are the major importing countries of colour granite.

8.0 Anticipated Impacts & Mitigation Measures due to proposed project

Impacts & Mitigation measures 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.



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



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.
