Environmental Clearance from Ministry of Environment & Forests as per Environment

Impact Assessment Notification through S.O. 1533, dated 14/09/2006. The entire process

has to be completed within a period of 6 months from the date of issue of Notice no.

4516/Q1/2018, Dt. 03-11-2018, as per Rule 7(A) of Andhra Pradesh Minor Mineral Rules,

1966.

The submission of Mining Plan is a pre-requisite for quarry lease as per Rule 7(A) of

APMMC Rules, 1966. As per the Notification of the Ministry of Environment & Forests,

Climate Change (MoEF & CC), New Delhi dated: 14 Sep 2006, it is mandatory for all the

Mining Projects with lease area of 5.000 Ha and above irrespective of the mineral (major or

minor) to obtain prior Environmental Clearance (EC) under the provisions thereof. Further,

all Category A and Category B1 projects shall undertake public consultation in accordance

with the above notification. Further the Government of India, Ministry of Environment &

Forest vide office memorandum No. L-11011/47/2011-IA.II(M), Dated: 18th May, 2012 in

order to ensure compliance of the Honourable Supreme Court Dated:27.02.2012 in I.A.12-

13 of 2011 in SLP( C ) No. 19628-19629 of 2009, instruction were issued that all the mining



projects of minor minerals including their renewal, irrespective of the size of the lease

would hence forth require prior environment clearance.

Decentralizing the Environmental Clearance (EC) for sustainable sand mining and mining

of minor minerals, Govt. of India MoEF, has created District Environment Impact

Assessment Authority (DEIAA) vide S.O.141(E) dated 15 Jan 2016. This district level

authority has the powers to approve the ECs for the mining of minor minerals for an area

less than 5.000 Ha.

As the area of mining in this case is less than 5.000 Ha (2.636 Ha) the Applicant has to

obtain EC from DEIAA, Y.S.R. after the approval of this Quarry Plan. In view of the above,

the Applicant intends to prepare an Environmental Management Plan for submission for

grant of Environmental Clearance for their proposed 2.636 Ha of Road Metal and Building

Stone Quarry lease area, thereby submitting this draft Mining Plan for necessary further

action which is a pre-requisite for EC.

In this connection, Sri M/s Siva Sai Stone Crushers, Mng. Ptr. Sri T. Ratnakara Reddy

approached Mr. Rahamath Ali, Consultant Geologist & RQP to prepare the Quarry Plan

following the prescribed guidelines. Hence, this Mining Plan is being prepared and

submitted under Rule 7 (A) of APMMC’1966, following the contents of Form-T.

The proposed Mining Plan covers a scientific and systematic assessment of the deposit

which indicates the details of conservation of the deposit and protection of environment in

and around the mining area. The survey comprises of Topographical Survey, Large Scale

Mapping with contours.

The survey enables the applicant to take up the exploration of Road Metal & Building Stone

in a systematic manner and plan for future expansion programme.

This Quarry Plan has been prepared taking into account strictly the restrictions to be

adopted by the applicant while conducting quarry operations due to the existence of any

structures railway lines, roads, water bodies such as river, lake etc., and the stipulated

distances as per the various Regulations prescribed under Metaliferous Mines Regulations,

1961.

The present Quarry plan is being submitted to achieve the proposed production of

4,00,475 tonnes of road metal during the first five-year plan period.

PART – A

1. GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION

a. Physiography

i) Topography:

(1) Relief: QL area has a relief of 10m, with maximum and minimum elevation

ranging between 420m and 410m MSL.

(2) Gradient: Gradient of QL area with that of horizontal surface is 3-5°.

(3) Slope: QL surface sloping down towards ENE with a slope angle of 3-5°.

ii) Drainage Pattern

The drainage pattern of the Quarry Lease area is sub-dendritic in nature.

Drainage network of the lease area is due ENE. No perennial streams observed

over the Quarry Lease area.

iii) Water bodies such as rivers, lakes, nala (canal), reservoirs etc.:

There are no water bodies such as rivers, lakes ponds etc. in and around the

lease area.

iv) Climate & Rainfall

The climate is tropical with temperatures ranging from 27° C to 38° C in summer

and 17° C to 29° C in the winter. The maximum and minimum annual rainfall

recorded in Y.S.R. district is 1,012mm and 433mm respectively (source: Indian

Meteorological Department data between 20013 & 2017).

v) Land Systems

QL area is revenue waste land.

vi) Land use pattern

The QL area is part of a small hillock that is elevated from the ground level by

10m. The hillock is mostly rocky covered by solid sheet on top and covered by

topsoil and weathered rock along the slopes. This is purely a wasteland with

where any farming or agricultural activity is not possible. The QL area is

surrounded by waste lands. A few agricultural lands does exist at least beyond a

radius of 500m from the lease area in SE and north directions.



vii) Habitation areas and demography

Within a radius of 5km of QL area exists 13 villages. More details of the villages

like its distance from the lease area, direction and population details are

tabulated in Table 13 under section 8.1.3 of part- B.

viii) Road, Electric line, telephone line etc.

The nearest road is B. Erragudi - Dinnepadu road, 1.30 km south of the Quarry

Lease area. This road joins NH-18 at a distance of 11.7 km in the west. QL area

is connected to this road by a metal road. Electric line is available about 100m

north of QL area. Telephone lines are not available close to the QL area.

Nevertheless, mobile phone network has good signals within lease area.

ix) Religious places, Sacred, Archaeological and Heritage sites etc.

There are no religious, sacred, Archaeological or Heritage sites present in and around

the QL area.

x) Vegetation

Top of the hillock has sheet rock whereas the slopes of the lease area are

covered moderately by thorny shrubs and grassy bushes. Surroundings of the

lease area however are covered by scanty vegetation.

xi) Forest Cover with density, reserve forest, wild life sanctuaries, coastal

regulation zone, eco-sensitive zones etc.

QL area is revenue waste land. There are no forest lands within 1km radius of

the lease area. ‘Idupulapaya’ reserve forest boundary is the closest forest

boundary about 1.08km north of the lease boundary. No wild life sanctuaries,

coastal regulation zone or eco-sensitive zones are present in the vicinity of the

lease area.

b. Regional Geology

The Peninsular Gneissic Complex (PGC-II) rocks of Archaean to Palaeo-Proterozoic

age and Veligallu schist belt rocks of Dharwar supergroup of Archaean age are the

main litho-units exposed in the area.

Veligallu schist belt of rocks composed of quartz-muscovite-sillimanite schist, acid

volcanics and Banded Iron formation are exposed in the region. The main schist band is

seen around Galiveedu and two small exposures of quartz-sericite-schist are noticed

west of Idapalichenipalle and sugali Tanda. Within the main schist belt, a very thin band

of Banded Iron Foramtion (BIF) is present. The BIF is made up of alternating bands of



haematite/magnetite and recrystallized quartz. The rest of the area is occupied by the

grey hornblende-biotite granite gneiss with a few isolated patches of alkali feldspar

granite of the PGC unit.

At the eastern contact of the schist belt, the E-W trending dolerite dykes cut across the

PGC rocks. Only one E-W trending dolerite dyke traverses both PGC as well as schist

belt rocks. Basic dykes of different trends are noticed in PGC dominated area along

various directions. These dykes vary in width from <50m to 100m and length of about 1

to 8km.

Quartz reefs/veins representing shear, fracture and fault zones have been delineated in

the gneissic rocks. The strike of the reefs is NE-SW, NW-SE and NNW-SSE. Among

these, NE-SW trending reefs are prominent and extend over a length of few kilometers.

c. Local Geology

The Quarry Lease area is predominantly occupied by grey hornblende granite gneiss. It

is dominantly grey in colour, medium to coarse grained and composed of pink and grey

feldspar, quartz, hornblende and biotite. Alternating bands of leucocratic and

melanocrytic minerals are seen in the gneiss. Granite gneiss is occurring as sheet rock

in the lease area and has an estimated bulk density of 2.66. Surfaces of granite

gneisses are slightly weathered with an estimated hardness of about 6 on Moh’s scale.

Presence of irregular fractures within the sheet makes it unfit for Dimensional stone

quarrying.

d. Prospecting Agency: N.A.

e. Details of Prospecting/Exploration Already Carried Out

QL area is a small hillock trending WSW-ENE. The hillock is mainly composed of

Granite gneiss. Gneisses are clearly exposed in the lease area both vertically and

horizontally. Hence, no specific exploration is required.

The subject area is demarcated on the ground with reference to revenue stones. Lease

Corner ‘5’ with elevation of 410m MSL (E248547.246 N1575094.582) is assumed as

benchmark and contour data for the lease limits was extracted from ‘Google Earth’,

plotted in surfer and presented on 1:1,000 scale showing all the surface features,

contours at 1.0 m interval. Based on topographical and geological features, collected

from the surface data, the surface geological plan is prepared on 1:1000 scale with 1.0

m contour interval and enclosed as Plate – 3.



f. The Key Plan

The location cum key plan (Topo map) of the area is prepared on a scale of 1:50,000

with 5 km radius from the center of the QL area showing predominant wind direction,

drainage pattern, water bodies, topo features along with extremities of the lease area.

Further, the surrounding working quarries and villages are included and enclosed as

Plate – 1.

g. The Surface cum Geological Plan

The surface cum geological plan of the Quarry Lease area is prepared on 1:1000 scale

with 1.0 m contour interval and is enclosed as Plate – 3.

h. Geological Sections

Two Geological cross sections A-A’ and B-B’ were drawn with a cross sectional

influence of 44m and 54m respectively on 1:1000 scale and enclosed as Plate – 3A.

i. Future Programme Of Exploration

QL area is hillock with deposit visible all over the surface itself. Excavations made in the

adjacent running QL has exposed the presence of deposit all along the slopes. Besides

this, lithological data of the borewells in the surroundings confirms the presence of

gneisses to a significant depth below ground level. Hence, no future programme of

exploration is required.

j. Reserves

i. Mining Method, Recovery Factor, Mining Losses, Processing Loss etc.: Road

Metal and Building Stone will be mined by open cast other than fully mechanized

method with drilling and controlled blasting. The recovery factor is considered as

95% with 5% intercalated waste. There will not be any mining losses except

handling loss which will be recovered during next loading.

ii. Cut-off Grade, Ultimate Pit Depth Proposed: There is no cut-off grade as the

ROM will be put to use for road metal and building stone as aggregates. The

Ultimate Pit Limit (UPL) will be 370 m MSL.

iii. Mineral / Ore Blocked Due to Benches, Barriers, Pillars, Road, Railway,

River, Nala, Reservoir, Electric Line and Other Statutory Barriers etc,: The



mineral will be blocked in 7.50m safety barrier zone and benches only, which is

computed separately tabulated below in the succeeding sections.

iv. Total Mineral Reserves: The reserves are estimated basing on the physical

presence of the rock and its exposures, excavations made in the adjacent running

quarry and cross sections drawn. The area of the influence and the cross sections

were taken as 44m and 54m on either side of the cross sections A-A’ and B-B’

respectively. The occurrence of Granite gneiss extends to a greater depth below

existing ground level. Based on the field traverses, and the data of bore wells in

the adjacent agricultural fields in the vicinity reserves up to 50m below the highest

elevation of the lease area are considered to be proved reserves.

Sufficient staff and equipment are planned to meet this production besides

additional equipment and staff on standby.

f) Drilling & Blasting:

i. Drilling: 102 mm diameter machine drilling will be employed for blasting holes

in staggered pattern of 4.0X4.7m with a depth of 7.25m. Holes will be drilled

vertically to a depth of 7.25m for a bench height of 6.00m with a spacing and

burden of 4.7m and 4.0m respectively. Each blast hole will break an amount of

115 m3 or 306 tons of rock.

Drilling parameters are as given below

Drill hole diameter D - 0.102 m

Drill hole depth L - 7.25 m

Burden B - 4.0 m

Spacing S - 4.7 m

Proposed Bench Height H - 6.0 m

Volume of rock broken per hole V (SXBXL) - 115 m3

Specific gravity of rock - 2.66

Mass of rock broken per hole M - 306 tons

Total proposed rock excavation for 5 yrs. - 4,21,553 tons

Average rock excavation per annum - 84,311 tons

No of holes proposed per five years - 8,279

No of holes proposed per annum - 1,656

No of working days scheduled per annum - 300

No of holes proposed per week - 32

ii. Blasting: Blasting will be carried out by using controlled blasting techniques to

reduce the amount of over break and to control the ground vibrations. Blasting

will be done with the help of electronic merger by using electronic detonators,

ordinary detonators, fuse wire and Ammonium Nitrate. The applicant is hiring a

licensed blasting contractor for the services of blasting in the adjacent quarry.

The same contractor will be engaged to do the job of blasting once the work

order is issued. It will be the responsibility of blasting contractor to engage a

licenced blaster and obtain all necessary permits to store, handle the explosives

on site. The charge per hole will be about 49 kg of explosive.



Amount of explosive required per hole - 49 Kg

No of holes planned per week - 32

Amount of explosive required per week - 1,561 Kg

Amount of explosive required per annum - 81,175 Kg

Amount of explosive required per 5 years - 4,05,877 Kg

iii. Secondary Blasting: After primary blasting, to break the boulders left away

secondary blasting will be carried out using 25mm X 200 cartridges of 125gms.

Jackhammer drilling using 28mm diameter rods will be carried out to an

approximate depth of 1.0m to produce the holes for secondary blasting.

After blasting working places will not be entered by any of the worker, unless

sufficient time has elapsed for dust, smoke and fumes to be cleared by a current of

air and the broken ore or rock will not be removed unless it has been thoroughly

wetted with water.

A specific time, after lunch hour will be fixed as blasting time. This time will be

disseminated among all the personnel working on the site during a safety brief up.

Besides this, a siren will be blown a few minutes prior to blasting to alert the working

force on site. Evacuation of site is the sole responsibility of Mine’s mate and

supervisor on site. This will be coordinated in a suitable manner.

g) Conceptual Mining Plan:

i) Details of the conceptual status of pits: The details of the conceptual status

of the quarry are shown separately for the second 5 year period. These are

depicted in the conceptual mine plan.

The total lease period is for 15 years from the date of execution of the lease

deed. Thus, the present period of 5 years block may end by the end of FY 2022-

23 or FY-2024. The residual period is next five years. By the end of the first five

years period a total of 4,00,475 tons of saleable ROM is planned for production.

The planned maximum depth of excavation is 17m. The final GL of the quarry

will reach to a flat 403m MSL

ii) Production continues during the conceptual mine plan period i.e. the second 5-

year plan period. The final GL of the quarry will reach to an additional depth of

15m. Excavation continues in the same area of excavation i.e., 13,028 m2. Final

GL may reach to a flat 388m MSL by the end of conceptual plan period. An area

of 1,475m2 will be occupied by the waste dump. The conceptual plan and



sections on a scale of 1:1000 are presented on Plate – 6 and 6A respectively.

B. UNDERGRGROUND MINING N.A.

3. MINE DRAINAGE

a) Minimum and Maximum Depth of Water Table: The mine lease area is elevated

by 10m from the ground surface with sheet rock exposed. There are no water

bodies existing within the lease area. A piezometer installed by State GW

department is located in ‘Jandrapalli’ hamplet close to konampeta village,4.5 km

SW of QL area, which shows water level of 64.1m bgl (358.9m MSL) (Data source:

AP State GW Dept.). Maximum GW level is reported by the locals to be 100m bgl.

b) Maximum and Minimum Depth of Workings: Initial GL of the lease area ranges

between 420 to 410m MSL. Whereas, the elevation range in the proposed area of

excavation is between 420 to 415m MSL. After first five years of production, the

maximum depth of workings will reach to 403m MSL. GL of unaffected area will

remain between 415 to 410m MSL.

c) Quantity and Quality of Water Likely to be Encountered: No water will

encounter in the mining area during the excavations and subsequent operations as

the minimum groundwater level in the mining area is around 396.6m MSL whereas

maximum depth of workings is 465m MSL. Hence, need for pumping does not arise.

Quality of GW reported by the locals from the surroundings is found to be potable.

d) Regional and Local Drainage Pattern: The QL area is sloping down towards ENE.

Rainwater will flow towards west and join the network of local drainage. The

maximum and minimum annual rainfall recorded in Y.S.R. district is 1,012mm and

433mm respectively (source: Indian Meteorological Department data between

20013 & 2017). Solid wash expected during monsoon season in the QL area is

negligible.

4. STACKING OF MINERAL REJECT / SUB-GRADE MATERIAL AND DISPOSAL

OF WASTE

a) Topsoil/weathered rock of 2.0m thick is estimated in the lease area. Mineral reject

of 5% will be generated from interstitial voids. Mineral reject will be partly utilized in

blending and partly will be used in developing the road that connects the QL area

with the nearest road. Part of mineral reject will be utilized in blending.



Table 12: Stacking of Mineral Reject

5. USE OF MINERAL AND MINERAL REJECT

The ROM will be fed to the crusher that is present 1.60 km SE of the lease area

where it will be crushed to desired sizes. Different grades of output from the crusher

will be sold in the market in Rayachoti its surroundings.

Topsoil and weathered rock will be dumped along the boundary of the lease area to

raise 2.0m high barrier. Part of the weathered rock if found suitable will be crushed

and part of it will be dumped along the boundary. This will be utilized periodically as

required. Else will be used for backfilling of the pits at the end.

6. PROCESSING OF ROM AND MINERAL REJECT

The ROM will be fed to the crusher that is present 1.60km SE of the lease area.

Different sized aggregates obtained from the crusher will be sold in the market.

Mineral reject will be partly used in blending and partly in developing the road

connecting the lease area with the nearest road. This is also supplied to the local

villagers for various purposes at free of cost.

7. OTHER

a. Site Services:

Well-built Site services such as office room, first aid, rest shelter, toilets etc.are

already available near to the crusher area that is 1.60 km SE of the lease area.

Besides this, a small shelter for basic amenities will be built within the buffer zone of

the lease area.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

8.1. Environment Base line information:

8.1.1. Existing Land Use Pattern: The QL area is a small hillock covered by

sheet rock on its peak and weathered rock along its slopes. Thorny bushes are

seen along the slopes. There are three small pits made by local vaddera

community within proposed lease area. These pits has an average depths of 2,3,

1m occupying a total area 2,627 m2. Lease area is purely a waste land and is not

suitable for any kind of farming or agricultural activity. It is surrounded by both

waste lands and agricultural lands. These agricultural lands are only rain

dependent. Environmental Plan on a scale of 1:5000 is presented as Plate-8.

8.1.2. Water Regime: The drainage network is due ENE in the lease area. There

are no surface water bodies like ponds, lakes, rivers etc. QL area has an

elevation range of 420 to 410m MSL i.e. 10m above the least elevation. As per

the data of State GW department GW in the area is recorded at 358.9m MSL,

i.e., 50.1m below the least elevation of the lease area.

8.1.3. Human Settlements: Within a radius of 5km of QL area exists 13 villages.

The main profession of the people is agriculture, business and working in

surrounding quarries etc. More details of the villages in the surroundings are as

tabulated below. Population shown in this table is extracted from Census data -

2011.

8.1.4. Public Buildings, Places of Worship and Monuments: No public

buildings, places of worship or monuments are present in the vicinity of the lease

area.

8.1.5. Sanctuary if any in the Vicinity of the Lease Hold: No sanctuary, zoo or

park are present in the vicinity of the QL area.

8.2. Impact Assessment and Management:

8.2.1. Land Area Degraded: After first five years, the shape of the hillock slope

turns into a benched slope. An area of about 13,028 m2 will be degraded for the

working pit. In addition, an area of 1,475 m2 (51X34m) will be occupied by waste

dump in eastern portion of the lease area. An area of 3,950 m2 is proposed for

afforestation within 7.5m buffer zone. Details of land use pattern after the mining

plan period and conceptual period are tabulated below and presented on plate-5.

Note: i. Please note road area is not included to the total as it is part of the pit. ii. Site Services is not included to the total as it is part of buffer zone.

8.2.2. Air Quality: Various activities involved in mining of Road Metal and Building

Stone generates dust. To some extent, dust generated will be controlled by

sprinkling of water on roads. Covering the drill rods with cloth during the drilling

suppresses the dust rising during the drilling. Masks, earplugs and safety

goggles will be supplied to the workers on site to protect themselves from dust.

8.2.3. Water Quality: There are no water bodies like ponds, lakes or rivers in the

neighbourhood. Quarrying of Road Metal and Building Stone generates minimal

dust, which is not harmful. Hence, the quality of the water in the surrounding

water bodies will not be affected by the mining activity.

8.2.4. Noise Level: The applied QL area does not have any villages in the

immediate neighborhood. The closest village is ‘Konasanivandlapalle’, which is

at a distance of 0.50km NE of QL area. Noise is anticipated in various activities

involved like Drilling, blasting and vehicle movement. As the mining activities are

of the small scale in nature, the noise generated would be well within the limits

and would not affect the residents in the surrounding villages. Applicant will take

all necessary measures to minimize the sound generated particularly during

blasting activity like using of mufflers. Site workers will be supplied with earplugs

to protect themselves from noise pollution.



8.2.5. Vibration Levels due to Blasting: A well experienced blasting contractor

will be engaged in blasting operations. Controlled blasting techniques are

employed to keep the vibration level well within the limits. Proper design of

blasting with appropriate space, burden and optimum charge / delay is one of the

measures to control blasting.

8.2.6. Water Regime: Mining activity proposed extends to a depth of 17m below

the highest elevation of the lease area and 7m below the existing GL, i.e., to an

elevation of 403m MSL. As per the data of State GW department GW in the area

is recorded at 358.9m MSL, i.e., 50.1m below existing GL. Hence, GW will no

way will be affected.

8.2.7. Acid Mine Drainage: No chemicals are involved in the extraction or

processing of the ore, hence there is no danger of acid mine drainage.

8.2.8. Surface Subsidence: Granite gneisses cover the ground surface in and

around the QL area due to which the ground is stable. Internal roads are well

compacted to avoid any skidding of vehicles. The benches and ramp ways will

be well built and maintained to avoid any kind of subsidence or skidding.

8.2.9. Socio Economics: Mining of Road Metal and Building Stone will generate

employment to the people of surrounding villages both skilled and unskilled.

Government will get income in the form of royalty, rent etc. Raw material for the

road and civil works will be generated by the mining activity that will be one of the

boosting factors for the local economy.

8.2.10. Historical Monuments: No historical, archeological or Geological

monuments are present in and around the QL area.

8.2.11. Bio-Diversity: Vegetation in the lease area is scanty and no animals are

reported within lease area.

9. PROGRESSIVE MINE CLOSURE PLAN (PMCP)

9.1. Progressive Reclamation Plan:

9.1.1. Mined-Out Land: No mined out land will be formed during the first five year

plan period. The mineral reserve exist far deeper than the UPL of this plan period

and mining will continue for the rest of the lease grant period and beyond.

9.1.2. Topsoil Management: Significant amount of topsoil exists in the lease area.

Topsoil will be scraped dumped along part of the lease boundary to raise 2.0m

high barrier and will be utilized periodically for various purposes like spreading,

laying of external roads and also will be supplied to local villagers for various

purposes at free of cost.

9.1.3. Tailings Dam Management: No Tailings Dam is required.

9.1.4. Acid Mine Drainage and Mitigation Measures: No chemicals are involved

in the extraction or processing of the ore, hence there is no danger of acid mine

drainage.

9.1.5. Surface Subsidence Mitigation Measures: Granite gneisses cover the

ground surface in and around the QL area and the ground is stable. Internal

roads are well compacted to avoid any skidding of vehicles. The benches and

ramp ways will be well built and maintained to avoid any kind of subsidence or

skidding.

9.1.6. Afforestation: Each year some part of the barrier zone will be subjected to

afforestation. Saplings will be planted along the buffer zone along western and

southern boundary, in a grid pattern given in the table below. To provide support

plantation a thick layer of soil from the surroundings will be spread along the

buffer zone where plantation is proposed. Saplings will be watered daily and

monitored by the watchman on site. The table below shows the proposed

afforestation plan.
