2.0 Introduction 2.1 General:

Building Stone is one of the major materials being used in infrastructural

projects, mainly as an aggregate in concreting. In addition, it also finds its

applications in stone masonry constructions, as railway ballast, filler material,

water treatment plants as filter media etc. etc.

Depending on the size of the material, building stones are being classified as

size stones, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate etc. Even the fine powder, which is

the resultant of crushing of building stone, finds its usage as finishing coat for

black top roads.

2.2 Identification of project and project proponent (in case of mining project a

copy of mining lease / letter of intent should be given) Identification of Project Project: Building Stone Quarry Extent: 2-10 Acres Sy.No. 97(Part) in Doddamavathur Village Kunigal Taluk & Dist. Karnataka.

It is a New Building Stone Quarry. 2.3 Brief description of nature of the project: The proposed area falls within the jurisdiction of Doddamavathur, Village. The

mining lease area lies between Longitude 77o01’46.2”E to 77o01’47.9”E and

Latitude 12o53’46.2”N to 12o53’42.7”N covered in part of Survey of India Topo-

sheet No. 57 H/01. The area is of undulated hilly terrain, forming small mould

exposures stretching N-S Directions, sloping towards S-W. The sanctioned area

consists of Grey Gneissic Granite boulders with scanty soil cover followed by

sheet rock. The entire area is at about 790-845m, above mean sea level. It is

observed that the whole area is solid sheet rock, as outcrop. There are no major

trees in the sanctioned area, except some small bushes and jungle plants. The

drainage of the area is towards N-E.

3.0 Project Description

3.1 General Quarrying of building stone is not very cumbersome unlike other stone

materials. Generally, with simple machines, it can be excavated and can be

crushed to required size and specification, at specialized stone crushers. In

some cases, even the sized stones are cut to the required size, for usage in stone

masonry works.

The actual block splitting from the sheet rocks or boulders is mainly done

manually or in some cases by semi- mechanized methods, whereas the other

operations, such as removal of overburden, lifting and transporting of cut

blocks, etc. are carried out by mechanized method. Depending on the hardness

of the rock, required production levels etc., controlled blasting by authorized

blasting agencies, will be carried-out.

3.2 Type of project incl. interlinked and interdependent project, if any: It is a New Building Stone Quarry, envisaged for production of M-Sand.

However, M-Sand production will be carried-out outside the sanctioned area

and hence, for the proposed quarrying activity there are no interlinked and

inter-dependent projects.

3.3 Location Extract of Revenue Map showing general location, specific location and project

boundary, is enclosed. The GPS coordinates of the site are as under:

Point Latitude Longitude A N 12º 53’46.2” E 77 º 01’46.2” B N 12º 53’47.9” E 77 º 01’47.2” C N 12º 53’44.2” E 77 º 01’50.3” D N 12º 53’42.7” E 77 º 01’47.9”

Location of the project on survey of India Topo-sheet (1:50000 scale) is enclosed.

3.6 Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart

showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given):

The proposed method of quarrying to be practiced at the building stone quarry

is of “OPEN CAST” method, by semi-mechanized way. However, care has to

be taken to make it environmental friendly by constantly adopting suitable

mining techniques. The quarrying will be carried-out by deploying machineries

like Excavators, Air compressors, Jack hammers, Tippers etc. The mining

techniques being used in the area is in combination of Jack hammer drilling,

followed by excavation method, as per the approved Quarry Plan (Copy

enclosed).

6.0 Proposed Infrastructure 6.1 General

To carry-out quarrying of building stone, various infrastructural facilities are

required for the main activity as well as for environmental protection &

pollution prevention.

6.2 Industrial Area (processing Area):

The excavated material i.e. rock boulders will be transported to another site,

outside the lease area, for further processing. Within the sanctioned area, there

will not be any industrial activities except building stone quarrying.

6.3 Residential Area (Non Processing Area):

As the quarry site is located within 1.50Km by road from Doddamavathur

village, no residential facilities have been envisaged near the quarry location.

6.4 Green Belt:

There is no forest area falling around the quarry lease area. Besides common

trees, natural vegetation grows during monsoon & fades away with the onset of

summer. However, to absorb the dust due to vehicle movement on the haulage

road, it is proposed to take-up plantation work during the first two years of

operation of the quarry. Also, it is proposed to take-up tree plantation work in

the vacant land of the same Sy. No., and near the Govt. School at

Santemavathur, Chikkamavathur, Doddamavathur, Bommanahalli village, as

P-14

6.5 Social Infrastructure:

There are few villages & hamlets within 5 kms radius zone. Presently the

people of these villages are engaged in seasonal agricultural activities & thus

are not employed fully. Some persons will be directly working in the quarry

while some shall be on contractual role depending upon the nature and period

of the requirement of the mining activities.

6.6 Connectivity (Traffic & Transportation Road/Rail/Metro/Water ways etc)]:

The area is situated at 1.5 Km. South of Doddamavathur Village, the quarry is

located 15.0 Km of Kunigal` which is a taluk headquarter and the Tumkur

district headquarter at a distance of 55.0kms where all the welfare amenities

available. The nearest railway station is Kunigal at a distance of 15.0 Km. The

nearest airport is Devanahalli Bangalore Airport which is 100 Kms.

6.7 Drinking Water Management (Source & Supply of water):

Not envisaged as the extent of mining and the proposed production levels are

very marginal.

6.9 Industrial Waste Management:

Not applicable.

6.10 Solid Waste Management:

8,965 Tons of waste needs to be handled during the 5 years plan period. This

will be used for strengthening of the approach road and partly in M-Sand

manufacturing.

P-15

7.0 Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R & R) Plan 7.1 General The proposed building stone quarrying area, is located near Doddamavathur

Village of Tumkuru Taluk, Tumkur District of Karnataka State. The proposed

site is at about 1.50Km from the nearest human habitation i.e. Doddamavathur

Village. In the core area, there are no houses/ hutments etc. Hence the R & R

Plan for the proposed quarry site is limited to the environmental protection and

other social measures planned, as part of the proposed activity.

7.2 Human Settlements

There is no human settlement in the core zone.

7.3 Socio-Economic Benefits

Spurt in industrialization and mining activities have invariably brought a

drastic change in the environment including the society connected with region.

Mostly remote areas tucked away from urbanization and influence of modern

civilization fall within the limits of mine development.

A natural corollary to this the socio economic aspects of the local inhabitants

who have dwelling this region for generations, get suddenly and probably a

radical change, consequent to their abrupt exposure to the mining.

The local people will get employment opportunities, better medical and

educational facilities etc., mainly due to the mining operation from this project.

In addition to this the literacy rate and better living standards shall increase

due to the enhanced earning capacity of villagers.

7.4 Storage and Preservation of Topsoil

There is little soil cover occurring, as the area is exposed with building stone.

Wherever the topsoil generated, shall be collected and stacked separately for

use in a forestation.

M/s. Krishna Stone & Sand Crushing Industry Building Stone Quarry Pre-Feasibility Report

P-16

7.5 Reclamation of land

Land restoration or reclamation of the area is very essential in any mining

industry. Proper measures adopted during restoration will control most of the

adverse environmental impacts of mining and also improve the aesthetic

beauty of the area. Due to the Mining activities in this area, the profile of the

ground will change due to formation of pits. At the end of the mining

operations, all solid wastes generated will be used in back filling of quarry pits

in order to bring back original contour of the terrain as for as possible. The

separately stacked top soil will be used to spread over on the compacted back

filled area in order to facilitate the re-vegetation process, which in turn controls

silt flow towards the downstream.

7.6 Facilities for Environmental Management

Generally building stone quarrying is expected to cause air pollution leading to

breathing problems. Activities like drilling, blasting, excavation and movement

of heavy vehicles generate dust and aggravate air pollution in addition to noise

pollution. For mitigating the adverse impacts of the above, suitable control

measures are planned, which are more detailed in the enclosed Environmental

Management Plan.

For activities like drilling, dust suppression etc. water will be required. Also,

for meeting the drinking and sanitary needs of the employees/ workers and for

watering of the trees, water will be required.

To take care of the occupational health and safety of workers at site, dust masks

will be provided. Dust masks would prevent inhalation of Respirable

Particulate Matter (RPM) thereby reducing the risk of lung diseases and other

respiratory disorders. Regular health monitoring of workers will be carried out.

Most of the area is of sheet rock and the present proposed working is confined

to sheet rocks. Less than 5% of materials are being treated as waste in this area.

The rejected waste material is stacked in the Waste Dump and will be used for

P-17

approach road strengthening. In addition, as a proactive measure, the following

activities will be initiated:

Ø The rainwater accumulating in the work area will be collected and will

be drained-out to the downstream properly with guide drains, so that it

can be used by the downstream fields for their agriculture and allied

purposes.

Ø To avoid soil erosion, rain water entering into the mine pit, carryover of

the material with rain water, suitable garland drains will be provided all

along the active mine area.

7.7 Implementation of EMP & Monitoring Programme

The environmental management plan is detailed on the basis of impact

assessment. Control and mitigation measures for the adverse impacts

envisaged.

As the major environmental attributes have been confined to the project area

alone, implementations of the proposed control measures and monitoring

thereof will be undertaken on the regional basis. The Building Stone Quarry

will ensure the implementation of the measures within the mine area and

carryout efficient monitoring.

In order to implement the measures suggested for mitigating the adverse

impacts on the environment, it is suggested to monitor the environmental

parameters regularly.
