3.3 Give review of earlier approved proposal (if any) in respect of exploration, excavation, reclamation etc.
3.3.1(a):Exploration:
Director of Geology & Mining along with TANCEM carried out systematic exploration of the
area in the year 1984-85. By exploratory core & Noncore boreholes were drilled covering
almost the entire strike length. The drill holes were drilled regular grid pattern.
The geological mapping was done on the topographic plan, which is the base map, prepared
on a scale of 1: 4000, with a contour interval of 1 meter. .
Diamond drill holes and Wagon drill holes were placed at closer intervals (i.e.) 400 M and
200M respectively. The bore holes within the lease area were drilled in grid pattern running
NE-SW direction. Geological cross sections were prepared, on a scale of 1: 2000, along -the
dip direction, joining the diamond drill holes drilled along the grid line (Please refer Plate-3 &
3a).
The details of drilling, sampling and other exploration done in the area of GO MS 624 are given
below.
S. No Details of Exploration Quantity of
Work Grid interval Remarks
01 Diamond drilling (a) No. of holes completed 27 400 Mtrs Location of

(b) Metreage 206
03 Total No. of samples collected

The exploration of the area reveals the presence of limestone and associated litho units of
varying thickness throughout the area.
During the scheme period 2016-17 to 2020-2021, the exploration proposals has been made in
the regular grid and will be put in between the earlier bore holes to know the deposit and
further enhancement of reserves. As per the discussions had the company officials, at the
present period of scheme of mining the company has proposed the total of 20 nos. coring bore
holes from the year 2017-18 to 2020-21 at the rate of 5 bore holes in every proposal period as
per the UNFC guidelines.

there was no production during the year 2016-17 and at the end of year 2017-18 in the month
of February second 2018; the company has started mining operation.

During scheme mining period, the production was commenced in the year 2016-17 to tune of
260000 tons only. There is no production from this lease due to local social problem by
previous land owners and demanding their permanent employment with the company. Due to
employment / agitation made by land given people and local villagers to the company, there
was no production during the year 2016-17 and at the end of year 2017-18 in the month of

It may be seen from above that production could not be achieved as per the targeted
production of the previous scheme period year 2016-17 and 2017-18, are due to the following
reasons
---Cost of Mining & Transportation
---Administrative issues of M/s. TANCEM due to the local social problem by previous land
owners and demanding their permanent employment with the company. Due to employment /
agitation made by land given people and local villagers to the company, there was no
production during the year 2016-17 and at the end of year 2017-18 in the month of February
second 2018; the company has started mining operation.

3.3.1(d): Method of mining:
The method of working is opencast (A category fully mechanized) adopting non-conventional
method by deploying rock breaker for primary and secondary breaking eliminating drilling and
blasting thus adopting eco-friendly mining.
Primary and Secondary Breaking: Mega Rock Breaker of 150 TPH capacity will be deployed
for primary breaking and dilution of oversize boulders which will totally eliminate drilling and
blasting.

Loading and hauling: Excavator will be used for loading the material on to the tippers
(hauling units) which will be used for transportation of mineral from the mines to crusher at
plant site and for handling the overburden / reject.
Rock breaker will be used for primary breaking wherever required and also for reduction of
oversize boulders instead of secondary blasting.

No drilling and blasting is envisaged during the modifications to the approved mining plan
during 2018-19 to 2020-21.
3.3.1(f): Disposal of waste:
The nature of top soil is Black cotton soil and has been removed and dumped all along the
mine lease boundary for the Afforestation purposes. No sub-grade ore or mineral rejects is
generated during the scheme period.
During the year 2016-17 to year 2017-18 of the plan period, no top soil was proposed. The
entire topsoil in the mineable area of the lease area will be removed and will be utilised
straight away for afforestation/ green belt purpose.
The mineral reject generated during mining will also be stacked along the western boundary in
a separate dump yard.
Dimensions of the waste dump are given below :

As per the norms prescribed by NCBM (National council for Cement and Building Materials) the broad
chemical specifications of cement grade ROM limestone are as follows:
CaO%
Acceptable range for manufacture of OPC 44-52
Limiting values taking into consideration Min. 40
type of cements, scope of beneficiation and blending
Thus, limestone with at least 44% CaO is required in the ROM for manufacture of cement and
limestone above 40% CaO can be used if beneficiation is provided or higher grade limestone is
available which can be blended to upgrade the lower grade limestone upto 44% CaO. The quality of
available high grade ore in Anandavadi limestone is of 47.5% CaO content and having less Fe2 O3 &
MgO, and this can be blended well with the Kallankurichi deposit limestone materials which are having
high Fe2 O3 and less SiO2. The present blending technique and raw mix design is given below.
During the enhancement of limestone production and Cement capacity of plant, the blending
technique and raw mix design will be modified according to the available grade of limestone and
limestone from new mining leases in future.
Grade of Limestone:
The limestone is yellow color fine to medium grain bedded in nature and fossiliferous. The marl is pale
yellow and powder in nature overlained by red soil. The purity of limestone is about 70 to 80% TCO3
with little MgCO3. The SiO2 content is ranging from 10-18% in the entire mining area.
The variation in the chemical behavior of this limestone & marl is summarized below

parameters indicating on plans /sections.
The method of working is opencast mining considering various technical parameters like
surface topography, continuation of limestone deposit, quality variations, geo-technical
aspects, required rate of production etc.,
The method of working is opencast fully mechanized adopting non-conventional method
by developing rock breaker for primary and secondary breaking eliminating drilling and
blasting thus adopting eco-friendly mining.
It is proposed to work this deposit by adopting 6.0 m bench height. The width of working
benches will be 8.0m
The ultimate pit slope of the pit is 450
The ramp gradient shall be kept minimum of 1 in 16.
The Following are the steps involved for winning limestone.
Primary and Secondary Breaking: Mega Rock Breaker of 150 TPH capacity will be deployed for
primary breaking and dilution of oversize boulders which will totally eliminate drilling and blasting.
Loading and hauling: Excavator will be used for loading the material on to the tippers (hauling units)
which will be used for transportation of mineral from the mines to crusher at plant site and for handling
the overburden / reject.
Rock breaker will be used for primary breaking wherever required and also for reduction of oversize
boulders instead of secondary blasting.

The total excavated area shall be around 60.685Ha at the end of mining operations. It is proposed
to convert part of the mined out area as an artificial pond to store rainwater and the remaining by
back filling with rejects (sandstone). The area is arid and has a low rainfall about 900mm/yr.
Therefore the water stored from rainfall could be used as reservoir in the locality helping the
neighboring villagers. The reservoir will have an enough potential to store water. The water in the
reservoir thus located shall improve bore well irrigation.
The undisturbed virgin lease area along the mining lease boundary shall be utilized for agricultural
purposes by developing the area with eucalyptus and causurina plants with co ordination of Forest
department and TNPL. This work shall be done after the cessation of mining operations.
This aspect has been considered in detail. Accordingly conceptual mining plan is drawn. There is
adequate space for dumping waste rock. After the mine reaches the ultimate depth waste stacked
in the ear marked location will be spread as top capping in the reclaimed area to improve the
growth of vegetation.

Stabilization and vegetation of dumps
During the previous years of operation, the quantity of topsoil / waste rock dumped is meager and with
minimum height of 1 metre to 1.5 metre there will not be possibility for slope instability. Hence the
question of vegetation of dumps does not arise. Moreover, the dumped topsoil during mining operation
will be removed and used for afforestation purposes.
Measures to control erosion / sedimentation
There is no any major nallahs nearby the workings. So there will not be any problem regarding
erosion. Moreover there is no major dumps, which may be exposed to erosion, and hence no
sedimentation also. If at all the water course filled with sediments, it will be cleared every year after
monsoon. Only the surface wafer, which is a source of erosion, is diverted by forming the bunds.

The ground water table is about 30 to 35 metres below the ground during the summer and it
raises during rainy season.
(iii) Flora & Fauna:
Flora: The area adjacent to the mining lease is occupied by vegetation and other species. In the
buffer-zone area of five kilometers, we find neem, babul etc., on bunds. Natural vegetation like
grasses and wild shrubs grow during the monsoon, which is useful for grazing and in the summer,
they dry out. Density of flora will be around 100 trees / hectare.
Fauna: The fauna that is obtained within the buffer zone are common varieties like foxes,
jackals, mongoose and rats etc. In the amphibian and reptile category monitor lizard, cobra, viper,
krait, chameleons are found. The insects are honey bee, wasp, beetle, termites, bugs,
mosquitoes, scorpion, red ants etc.
The fauna found in the area are of common variety and thus no endangered species are found in
the study area.
Base line data generation for air, noise level, ground vibration will be discussed in detail after the
completion of one season monitoring. Presently the various environmental parameters are
discussed based on the available data.
(iv) Quality of air:
Generally the dust level in the air is kept within the limit. The maximum concentration of air
pollutants at different- stations during the study indicates that the highest 24 hour concentration of
S P.M. was 260.6mg/m3 at TAI Station (Anandavadi village) and well within the CPCB limits .
The maximum 24 hour concentration of SO2 was 7.6 mg/m3 at station TA4 (Sendurai) and is well
within the prescribed limits of CPCB (80mg/m3).
Similarly the maximum 24 hour concentration of NOX was 16.8 mg/m3 at station TA2 (Maruvathur)
and is well within the prescribed CPCB limits (120 mg/m3).
Hence there will not be any bad impact on Air quality by mining, to the entire life of the mine.
In case of source samples, the SPM level recorded has been a maximum of 1659.6.50
micrograms /m3 near haulage road (source sample) requiring suitable management measures.
The CO level in the ambient air samples was found to be below detecting level.

(v) Noise level:
Noise level is kept under check. Adequate measures will be taken up to control the noise level and
also to provide appliances to the operators to avoid noise pollution if any.
The maximum and average of this noise levels in the 0 - 3 KM zone are 90 dB(A) and 74 dB(A)
respectively. Whereas in 3-8 KM zone the same have been reported to be 71 dB(A) and 52 dB(A)
respectively. In the 8-10 KM zone the maximum noise level recorded is 68 dB(A) and the average
is 51 dB(A).
Hence there will not be any damage risk for hearing loss, by the mining activities, upto the mine life
period.

To reduce the noise level efforts will be made by proper maintenance schedule, placement of
compressors away from the workers. However, in addition to this, earmuffs are also being provided
to the workers to prevent them from the noisy environment.
(vi)Ground vibrations:
Three number of blasts have been conducted at source area from close distances and found that
the peak particle velocities were found to be less than 3mm / sec. The readings are taken from the
blast site at different distance in the three blasts. During the first blast, around 600 kgs of
explosives were blasted with a charge per delay of 202 kgs, the PPV value was measured at a
distance of 500m from the blasting site, which showed a value of 1.5 mm/sec. During the second
and third blast, the ppv values were measured at a distance of 150m and 75m respectively, in
which we recorded a PPV value of 1.5 and 2.9 mm/sec.
Ground vibrations were measured near the mine site at different directions at the time of blasting
and readings were found to be very less.All the mining area is isolated, and no residential
structures are nearby. Due to ground vibrations while blasting, nearby dwellings will not be affected
because of very low particle velocity.
Protective measures for ground vibrations / airblast
Ground vibration is an important consideration, so that public should not be affected. The following
measures are taken to minimize ground vibrations and air blast by blasting.
1. A delay interval of 25 milliseconds, between holes is maintained using delay detonators.
2. Individual delays for each hole is used with card relays.
3. We will minimize the use of detonating fuse within the hole and other portions will be covered
with drill cuttings and there will not be air blast.
4. Peak particle velocity will be kept very low, by using non-el-system as a special case.
5. For larger blasts, sequential timer will be used in the blasting operations to avoid noise and
vibration.
6. Proper spacing and burden is maintained according to the bench heights to control blasting
with low particle velocity and low noise.
M/s Tamilnadu Cements Corporation Ltd.
Modifications to the Approved Mining Plan of Anandavadi Limestone Mines (G.O.624, Ext.110.68.5Ha.) 49
7. Adequate care is taken to minimize the ground vibration by proper selection and usage of
explosive depending upon the strata to be blasted.
However, displacement due to blasting was measured using a vibration meter at a distance of 500
m from the mine and the displacement noticed was only 0.2 micron which is very minimal which
will not cause any damage.
Monitoring Locations and Methodology
Water samples from surface water source and ground water sources were collected from identified
locations as per details given in following table in sterilized plastic cans to assess the existing
water quality of the study area twice during the study period. The samples were analyzed for
physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters as per the bureau of India Standards IS:10500
specifications, However, additional parameters like chemical and Bio chemical Oxygen Demand,
Total suspended solids, Oil & Grease, and Ferric and Ferrous ion were also analyzed. The
samples were analyzed as per standard procedure / method given in IS : 3025 (different parts) and
standard method for examination of water and waste water ED 20, published jointly by
APHA,WWA and WPCF.

From the above results, the prescribed limit of IS 10500, it is found that ground water of the study
area is fit for drinking purposes as alternate source.
There would not be any toxic effluent from mine hence there in no need for any treatment of water
from mine.
Control measures to be adopted are
The peripheral bunds will help that soils is not carried away by storm water. Stabilization of bund
slope to prevent erosion and this shall be done by providing dense plantation along the bund
slopes.
During dewatering operations the pumped out water will be let out in the nearby natural courses.
(viii) Climatic conditions
A meteorological station was set up in all three season to collect micro meteorological data for the
area.
The average annual rain fall in this area is about 900 mm. The area receives maximum rainfall
during N.E. Monsoon (i.e.) between October to December and precipitation also occur during S.W.
monsoon between July and September.

The rains are not generally heavy enough to hamper mining operations for more than one or two
days at a time. Ho disastrous floods have been recorded in this area. The maximum temperature
in summer months is 40° C. In the winter months (December to February) the minimum
ternperature would be about 300 C. Cyclone and storms are rare in this area. The main wind
directions are as follows. Winds are mainly from directions between North and North East from
November to February. In March winds are mostly from directions North East and South East, to
the morning and afternoon they are either Northerly to North Easterly or Southerly to South
Easterly. During April to October winds blow mostly from directions between South and South
Western in the morning, in the afternoons they are between South West and South East.
The area is well outside the known earthquake belt of the country and no earthquakes or
sympathetic shocks have been reported since historical times.
(ix) Human settlements:
The mining lease area is surrounded by few small villages. The main occupation of the people in
this part is agriculture. The lands in these areas are very fertile. Besides agriculture there are no
major industries.
.Rehabilitation
Within the Mine lease area, there is no a village or human settlement. Hence there is no
question of any evacuation and resettlement of people elsewhere.
Socio Economic Studies
It is well known fact, that industrialization will affect directly or indirectly the life styles, social
structure and economics of the persons who are living in the region. A study of the existing
baseline date on these aspects will help to force the impact of mining in future.
For this study the area has been divided into 2 zones namely core and buffer, while the 5KMs belt
around the mine lease area constituted the core zone the area up to 10 Kms distance from the
periphery of the lease has been considered as buffer zone. Baseline data and socioeconomic
environment in the core and buffer zone were combined from the senses. The data covers various
constituents such as demo graphs, literacy, employment, land classification, availability of
educational, medical and communication facilities etc.

8.2 Impact Assessment: Attach an Environmental Impact Assessment Statement describing
the impact of mining and beneficiation on environment on the following:
ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT STATEMENT
The environmental impact due to the enhancement of limestone production up to 15.0 lakhs tons
per Annum during the proposed modification period has been taken in to considerations while
preparing impact assessment statement.
Due to the increase in the cement production from 5 lakhs to 15 lakhs tons, the company has
engaged the EIA consultant for the enhanced proposed production of limestone from this G.O. 624
will be 15.0 lakhs tons per annum.
The address of the EIA consultant who prepares the EIA report for the MOEF clearance is as

M/s Tamilnadu Cements Corporation Ltd.
Modifications to the Approved Mining Plan of Anandavadi Limestone Mines (G.O.624, Ext.110.68.5Ha.) 53
a) Land and Land Subsidence:
Any mining operation is likely to alter the already existing topography. Scheduled reclamation of
the mined out areas will eventually represent a better landscape with even topography, which
would be amenable for farming etc.
b) Aesthetic Environment and Tourist Spots (if any)
The Mining lease area neither endowed with environmentally aesthetic attributes not is an
attractive place for tourists.
c) Soil and Land use Pattern
Opencast mechanized mining operations in this area would not cause discernible changes in the
soil characteristics since mining operations will not result in any kind of toxic effluents nor would
there be any solid waste generation.
The existing land use pattern is mainly cultivation for rotational/seasonal crop harvest. In the M.L.
area, most of the area is agricultural land and the remaining part comprises of grazing lands and
scrub jungle. Most of the plants are armed with spines and hooks. The prevailing land use pattern
in the post-mining period would not altogether get altered. Novel and extensive schemes of
afforestation will be implemented so as to minimize the effect of current land use.

The proposed mining methods will not cause any harm to the agricultural field in the surroundings.
With the commencement of mining operations employment (both direct and indirect) opportunities
will inherently force a change in the occupational structure partially. Consequently with increased
economic status, modernized agricultural practices would be adopted which will result in not only
better crop yield, but also reduce the pressure on particular operation.
Additionally, the wastelands and fallow lands upon mining and suitable reclamation will result in
beneficial rehabilitation of the derelict lands. Emphasis will be on restoration of mined out lands
to agricultural practices.
e) Forest
The Mining lease area does not include any forest area.
f) Flora and Fauna
The area under mining lease is not a habitat for wild life or bird sanctuary etc. Therefore mining
would not cause any effect on existing flora and fauna. There is no rare/endangered species of
flora in the area. Mining operations will not involve any felling of trees etc. as most of the area
selected for mine working is devoid of trees/plants etc. There is no wild life sanctuary in the vicinity
of mining lease area. So no rare/endangered or wild species is likely to be affected by the mining
project.
AIR:
A number of activities have an impact of ambient air quality of the area. These includes industries,
domestic fuel consumption, traffic emission etc. Major pollutants are SPM, Nox and So2. The main
source of air pollutant in SPM is mining activities. The generation of Nox and So2 results obtained
are well within the limits prescribed by CPCB for areas meant for industrial use.
Air pollution impact analysis is of prime concern. Dust is a particulate contaminant suspended in
the atmosphere. The upper size limit of dust particles is governed by gravitational effects. While
the distinction between the respirable and non respirable dust is scientifically valid it is clear that
both sizes can impair lung functions when inhaled over a time.
Deployment of diesel powered equipment for mining may produce emissions that are known to be
hazardous, viz unburnt hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, particulates, phynols, aldehydes, oxides
M/s Tamilnadu Cements Corporation Ltd.
Modifications to the Approved Mining Plan of Anandavadi Limestone Mines (G.O.624, Ext.110.68.5Ha.) 55
of sulphur, trace elements, smoke and hydrocarbons. These pollutants are known to cause
respiratory ailments.
Use of protective equipments to reduce the exposure of personnel to excessive concentrations of
dust, dust suppressive techniques along haul tracks and drilling sites are practiced to minimize
negative impacts.
Ambient air quality Monitoring was carried out for summer season (April, May and June). The
parameters selected for analyzing ambient air quality status were Respirable Particulate Matter
(RPM), Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) Oxides of Nitrogen (Nox), Sulphur diaoxide (SO2). A
summary of ambient quality monitoring results for 24 hours average concentration are given below:

Control Measures for Air Quality / Dust Suppression
The main activities for air pollution are drilling, Blasting, loading, unloading, transportation and
heavy duty mobile equipments. Suppression measures like water spraying along haul road,
roadside plantation to provide canopy of foliage and regular use of water ejecting system to
dampen and control the dust during the course of drilling will be undertaken.
The proposed measures to control air quality within the limits are detailed below,
Mobile equipments
Dust emanated due to the movement of equipments is generally suppressed by the
following ways:
Surfacing of internal roads.
Dust suppression by water sprays
Dust generated in the mines will be suppressed by sprinkling water on haul roads with the help of
mobile water tanker with sprinkling arrangement. As there is not much of water seepage and
accumulation in the pits, permanent pipe line connection for spraying water on haul road for dust
suppression cannot be carried out immediately. However your advice & suggestion will be

Modifications to the Approved Mining Plan of Anandavadi Limestone Mines (G.O.624, Ext.110.68.5Ha.) 56
considered in future.
Rows of trees would be planted
ii) WATER ENVIRONMENT:
a) Surface Water:
The Nallah is passing across the lease area and flowing from NNE to SW of the lease area. It
drains the area and joins the local water body in the south and western portion of the ML area.
The Nallah is not perennial. It is dry during the major part of the year but is subject to occasional
flash floods.
The ground water table is about 15 to 20 metres below the ground during the summer and it raises
during rainy season.
b) Ground Water
Ground water is the main source in this area, apart from rain in the monsoon period. The water
table is intersected 15 to 20 meters the surface. The ground water will be collected in the sump for
the deposition of solid particles. Once the suspended particles are deposited it will be pumped out
for domestic purpose, dust suppression system, gardening and Afforestation purpose. The excess
water only will be pumped out to the nalla /closer water bodies – pond after the deposition of solid
particles. There are no toxic elements found in the sump water.
The water table is found at a depth of 15metres in rainy season and at 20m in dry season. To cope
up with storm water and seepage water, an energy efficient electrical pump of 20H.P capacity will
be installed and the discharge will be let-out in the nallah/Pond.
Garland drains will be made all along the periphery of dumpsites to prevent the water carrying the
wash-offs from the dumps and topsoil yard entering into the mines. The water collected in the
garland drains will flow towards a settling tank formed near by the dumpsite. The water will be
allowed to settle the wash offs from the dumps in the settling tank and pure & clear water will be
utilized for afforestation purposes and for wetting of haul roads to arrest the dust generation.
(v) Noise level:
Noise level is kept under check. Adequate measures will be taken up to control the noise level and
also to provide appliances to the operators to avoid noise pollution if any.
The maximum and average of this noise levels in the 0 - 3 KM zone are 90 dB(A) and 74 dB(A)
respectively. Whereas in 3-8 KM zone the same have been reported to be 71 dB(A) and 52 dB(A)
M/s Tamilnadu Cements Corporation Ltd.
Modifications to the Approved Mining Plan of Anandavadi Limestone Mines (G.O.624, Ext.110.68.5Ha.) 57
respectively. In the 8-10 KM zone the maximum noise level recorded is 68 dB(A) and the average
is 51 dB(A).
Hence there will not be any damage risk for hearing loss, by the mining activities, upto the mine life
period.

To reduce the noise level efforts will be made by proper maintenance schedule, placement of
compressors away from the workers. However, in addition to this, earmuffs are also being provided
to the workers to prevent them from the noisy environment.
(vi)Ground vibrations:
Three number of blasts have been conducted at source area from close distances and found that
the peak particle velocities were found to be less than 3mm / sec. The readings are taken from the
blast site at different distance in the three blasts. During the first blast, around 600 kgs of
explosives were blasted with a charge per delay of 202 kgs, the PPV value was measured at a
distance of 500m from the blasting site, which showed a value of 1.5 mm/sec. During the second
and third blast, the ppv values were measured at a distance of 150m and 75m respectively, in
which we recorded a PPV value of 1.5 and 2.9 mm/sec.
As such there is no need to go for 30 readings to be taken, as the values in either in the village or
in the close vicinity do not warrant such an exercise.
Monitoring Locations and Methodology
Water samples from surface water source and ground water sources were collected from identified
locations as per details given in following table in sterilized plastic cans to assess the existing

Lakh tones. Topsoil is stored separately on the designated place so far. There is no deviation from the proposal
No generation of top soil is proposed.
2.
Land reclamation and rehabilitation
No proposals for reclamation and rehabilitation in the approved scheme of ,as limestone would not be exhausted.
The mining is not yet reached the basement and the production achieved during the period is very meager 2.60 Lakh tonnes.
The mine will not be exhausted of limestone in the next five years so no reclamation or rehabilitation of full or part of the quarry is proposed.
3.
Waste dump management
Proposals were to store topsoil & waste sandstone separately and places were earmarked for the purpose.
Topsoil, and waste rock sandstone is being stored at the designated places separately. No deviation from approved scheme of mining
22.5 Lakh tones off sandstone envisaged during this period will be stacked separately at ear marked locations..
4.

8.3 Progressive reclamation Plan:
In the preceding chapter, an attempt was made to assess the likely impact on the environment due
to various mining activities. This chapter describes the scheme for environmental management,
the proposed abatement measures to minimize the likely environmental degradation that may be
caused due to the mining operations at proposed Mining Project.
Considering the scale and methodology of mining operations in the project area as discussed
earlier, no significant environmental degradation is expected. The micro level eco system and
socio economic setup of the villages is likely to improve. Environmental control measures and
techniques are discussed below to mitigate any adverse effect owing to the mining activities.
8.3.1. Mined-Out Land:
The total excavated area shall be around 60.685 Ha at the end of mining operations. It is
proposed to convert the mined out area as an artificial pond to store rainwater and as well as part
of the area will be refilled and subsequently afforested. The area is arid and has a low about
900mm/yr. Therefore the water stored from rainfall could be used as reservoir in the locality
helping the neighboring villagers. The reservoir will have an enough potential to store water. The
water in the reservoir thus located shall improve bore well irrigation.
The undisturbed virgin lease area along the mining lease boundary shall be utilized for agricultural
purposes by developing the area with guava, straw berry, fig fruit plants etc. This work shall be
done after the cessation of mining operations.
Justification Artificial Pond to Store Rain Water:
The sub-surface of the area is composed of hard rocky strata. So the rainwater is not directly and
effectively absorbed into the ground. Since no major water resources / reservoirs / lakes / ponds
etc, are present in the area, if we fully reclaim the mined out pits we would completely loose the
entire rainwater instead of being harvested in the mined out pits thereby increasing the level of the
water table in the area will get increased.
The undisturbed virgin lease area along the mining lease boundary shall be utilized for agricultural
purposes by developing the area with guava, straw berry, fig fruit plants etc. This work shall be
done after the cessation of mining operations.
Therefore, by proposing to utilize the mined out pits as water reservoirs, after entire mining
operations gets completed, we would be able to serve the following purposes:
M/s Tamilnadu Cements Corporation Ltd.
Modifications to the Approved Mining Plan of Anandavadi Limestone Mines (G.O.624, Ext.110.68.5Ha.) 63
1) Sustain the water resources for the drought prone area of local villages.
2) Increase the level of water table in the adjacent area.
3) To meet the drinking water requirement of local villagers.
4) To afforestate the non-mining leases areas (earmarked for afforestation) with the
Stored water from these pits.
Therefore, considering the above facts, we propose not to reclaim the mined out pits after entire
mining is completed instead we would utilize them as water reservoirs which would be the need of
the prevailing hydrological atmosphere in the mining lease area.
Post Mining after cessation of mining activities
8.3.2 Topsoil Management:
During the three year modification period no topsoil will be generated and it will be in meager
quantity will be stacked all along the safety barriers of the lease area, and it will be utilized for the
afforestation purposes.separately in the 50M safety zone area along the odai.
The average thickness of the top soil is varying in thickness 1 to 0.5M in the mining lease area for
mining. The upper layer of top soil, which is oxidized and contains organic matter will be stripped
and used for spreading over the slopes of the peripheral bund to facilitate revegetation and also for
tree plantation over areas beyond the peripheral bund. Excess quantity of top soil remaining will
be stacked separately in a dump yard for the above stated purpose. The slopes of the dumpsites
