(iii) Alternate Sites Considered

Stone quarry is involved in quarrying activity, which is site specific in nature. Henceno alternative sites are considered.


(iv) Size and Magnitude of Operation

The proposed project is to establish building stone quarry in 10-00 Acres. Themineable reserves are estimated to be 13,96,484 tonnes in this quarry, considering95% recovery from the excavated rock mass (Refer Approved Quarrying Plan) thelife of mine will be 6 years at the present rate of production.

During the plan period, it is proposed to handle 800,891 tonnes of building stoneat the rate of 2,50,058 tonnes per annum. About 32,055 tonnes of intercalatedwaste and 46,117 tonnes of top soil will be produced, Total quantum ofexcavation during entire plan period proposed is 879,063 tonnes. It is proposed toachieve the total quantity by using shallow drilling and blasting forming threebenches with 6m height and 6m width. The work shall be confined to the levels of435m to 415m with respect to mean sea level (MSL).

(v) Project description with process details:

Mining Methodology:

It is proposed to work by semi-mechanized open-cast method. The benches in thequarry will be formed in descending order. Benches of maximum height of 6m withminimum width of 4m and over all bench slopes of 450 will be maintained. Shallowhole controlled drilling and blasting techniques will be used to break the formationso as to produce the building stones. Further sorting, chipping, etc will be done bymanual method to arrive at buyer specification. The boulders of oversize generatedfrom primary blasting will be subjected for breaking by machinery/breaker means.Loading will be carried by excavator to trucks/tractors so as to transport to thebuyer’s destination. Stone quarrying is the multistage process by which rockextracted from the ground will then be sized manually for immediate use.

The broad blasting parameters are determined for the blasting blasting pattern andblast design, which are as follows:

Since the bench height needs to be maintained 6.0 mts, deep hole blasting willbe adopted, to do so two sub – benches of 4.00 mts height are formed later onwhen it reaches its lateral limit it is joined to form 6.0 mts height. The diameter ofthe blast hole is generally 100 mm and the depth of the hole is 4.5 mts includingsub – grade drilling. Drilling/ Blasting pattern is generally square or staggered withburden ranging from 1.50 to 2.00 meters and spacing of 2.00 to 2.50 meters.


Usually single/ double row of holes is blasted along free face to achieve optimumpowder factor, best fragmentation and minimized adverse impacts on account ofblasting. Maximum numbers of holes will be blasted at a time in a round aregenerally limited to 30 to 40 with normal delay detonators to mitigate adverseimpacts such as air blast, throw and the ground vibration. Holes are electricallydetonated using electric detonators.

Nitrate/Anfomixture types of explosives are used for blasting with 20 to 25percent proportion of primer/ booster cartridges and rest as column charge. About10 -15 kgs of explosives are loaded in 100 mm diameter holes. And powder factorranging between 5 to 6 tons per kgs of explosives is achieved.

Total 17 -- --

Drilling Pattern:

Since the quarrying is proposed to work by mechanized and the benches are kept6.0 mts height and Granite is the material which is hard in nature which requiresdrilling and blasting to exploit the same. On an average about 941 tonnes ofmaterial required to be drilled and blast daily including both ore and waste.

Stemming & Charging of the Blast Hole:

Whenever blasting is carried out, the ultimate holes on either side are uncharged toprevent the formation of feather cracks in the block. The stemming and chargingwill be done under the guidance or supervision of an experienced blaster. Thecharge concentration of the explosive will be between 10 to 40 grams per linearmeter.


(vi) Raw Materials Required

No raw material shall be used since the proposed project is stone quarrying.

(vii) Water, Energy / Power Requirement and its source

The total water requirement for the mines and processing is 18.9 KLD. The waterwill be used for domestic purpose & green belt etc. Source of water is Bore wellwater near the quarry site.

(viii) Waste Generation:

Solid Waste:

Quarrying operations are planned to produce the building stone for infrastructuralengineering works. Generation of waste is very minimal as small boulders can alsobe utilized to produce building stone. Total waste generated shall be 32,055 tonnesduring the plan period. This consists mainly weathered material. Top soilencountered while quarrying will be used for plantation purpose. Weatheredmaterial can be used for the maintenance of the approaching haul roads to thequarry lease area. No permanent dumping proposals are made as the entirematerial excavated from the quarry lease will be used effectively for differentpurposes.

Liquid Waste:

The liquid waste comprises mainly run-off water during the monsoon months fromthe quarry. The rainwater draining through freshly exposed rock fragments anddust in the quarry are susceptible for incorporating suspended solids and dissolvedtoxic elements. Seepage of water down to the water table may cause pollution inthe ground water. To obviate this, it is necessary to make the water leaving thequarry as silt-free. As there is no permanent dumping proposal, pollution of waterdue to silt would be very minimal in the quarry.
