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: 10-00 Acre (4.047 Ha.) Sy.No.82[P] in P H Halli Village Kunigal Taluk, Tumkur Dist. Karnataka.

Lessee/Project Proponent M/s Krishna Stone Crusher Prop.: Sri. K M Krishna Kampalapura Village Huliyurdurga Hobli Kunigal Taluk, Tumkur Dist. Karnataka (Tel: +91-9964146943)

It is a NEW Building Stone Quarry, proposed for M-Sand Production. 2.3 Brief description of nature of the project: The proposed area falls within the jurisdiction of P H Halli, Village. The mining

lease area lies between Longitude 77o03’39.70”E to 77o03’46.1”E and Latitude

12o47’14.0”N to 12o47’21.9”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 720-790 m, 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.

P-4

2.4 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region: The building stone, in addition to its normal uses like size stone for stone

masonry works, fencing posts, for production of aggregates etc., is also finding

its utilization as a raw material for M-Sand (Manufactured Sand) production.

M-Sand, is getting an increased demand in the construction industry, due to

shortage of good quality river sand and banning of the filter sand by the Govt.

Authorities. The grey granite available in the proposed quarry, is good for M-

Sand production, and also it reduces the demand for River Sand, which in turn

will help in maintaining the riverine eco systems, from the environmental

perspective. No mineral processing activities like crushing, beneficiation etc.

are envisaged within the sanctioned quarry area, except production of

boulders.

2.5 Demand- Supply Gap: There is a good demand for M-Sand, from the Construction Industry, in the

nearby cities/ towns like Bangalore, Tumkur, Maddur, Kunigal etc.

2.6 Imports vs. Indigenous Production: Not applicable, as import of building stone, is not required in India.

2.7 Export Possibility: Not envisaged at this stage, as there is enough demand in the local market. 2.8 Domestic/ Export Markets: Not applicable, as the quantity and extent of mining, are very marginal. 2.9 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project. About 32 persons including managerial and office staff will be required to

operate the quarry to achieve the required production levels.

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:

3.4 Details of alternate sites, considered and the basis of selecting the

proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into

should be highlighted

Not applicable, as the quarrying activity is a site specific work. The site is

cleared, from environmental considerations, by the District Task Force,

Tumkur, in line with the Karnataka Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1994

(incl. its amendments upto date), for quarrying of building stone.

3.5 Size or magnitude of operation:

The development and production programme is confined to the entire area for

the first 5 years. The scheme has been planned by taking into consideration of

the nature of the deposit within the sanctioned area. It is observed that the

sheet rocks are exposed in the neighboring quarries. The proposed year-wise

working plan is furnished below:

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).

3.7 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source,

marketing area of final product/s, Mode of transport of raw material and

finished products:

The proposal itself, is a raw material production, for subsequent operations like

crushing, M-Sand production etc. Transportation of the quarried material i.e.

boulders, will be carried-out using tractors, dumpers etc.

3.8 Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project. If

any, should be briefly outlined:

No recycling and reuse of material envisaged, as literally there will not be any

kind of waste generation.

3.9 Availability of water its source, Energy/power requirement and source

should be given:

Water will be available from nearby bore wells. Water will not be required for

quarrying activities, except for activities like dust suppression of haulage roads,

watering of trees/ plants etc., in addition to the drinking needs of the persons

deployed in the quarry. The estimated water requirement is about 320

Liters/Day for Drinking Purpose, 6,300 Liters/Day for Dust Suppression and

about 3,000 litres/day for watering of trees, making a total water requirement

as 9.6 KLD. No energy/power is required, as the quarrying machines will be

diesel operated.

3.10 Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for

their Management/disposal:

45,621 Tons of waste generation is expected during the 5 years plan period,

which will be used for strengthening of the approach road.

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 2 km by road from P H Halli 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 P H Halli,

Ujjani and Huliyurdurga villages, as under:

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. East of P.H. Halli Village, the quarry is located

25.0 Km of Kunigal which is a taluk headquarter and the Tumkur district

headquarter at a distance of 50kms where all the welfare amenities available.

P-15

7.0 Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R & R) Plan 7.1 General The proposed building stone quarrying area, is located near P.H. Halli Village

of Kunigal Taluk, Tumkur District of Karnataka State. The proposed site is at

about 1.50 Km from the nearest human habitation i.e. P.H. Halli 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 Crusher 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
