is composed of consolidated felsic compound Silica and Feldspar the sand is formed by the

action of water due to transportation and erosion of Rocks sand has become a very important

mineral for the expansion of society. Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of

finely divided rock and mineral particles. River sand is one of the world’s most plentiful

resources (perhaps as much as 20% of the Earth’s crust is sand) and has the ability to replenish

itself. River sand is vital for human well-being& for sustenance of rivers. The Sand is mainly

used for building construction purpose.

Machineries like excavator are proposed for quarrying for a short period of this Sand up

to 1m depth below the river bed. No drilling and blasting is proposed. There is no formation of

bench; the total depth of sand below the river bed is about 3m. Total depth of availability of sand

is about 3m below the river bed. The proposed depth of sand quarry: 1m below the river bed.

The entire Sand is excavated and utilized. It is proposed to exploit Sand (including shoals) is

about 401500m3

for a period of Two years only.

The sand is specifically used for construction purpose besides the Removal of the sand

may also called as desilting will increase the functional efficiencies of the river during the flood

(iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly

the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted

The conventional open cast quarrying is proposed in the area for excavation of Sand up to

depth 1m below the river bed and there is no topsoil in the lease area. The quarrying operation is

proposed in the Government land (Cauvery River) and there is no any alternative site for this

project is not considered, the project is site specific.

(iv) Size or magnitude of operation

The total area of Kulithalai Village project is about 11.00.0Ha. It is proposed to exploit

Sand is about 401500m3 by conventional open cast semi mechanized quarry by deploying

excavate directly for a period of Two years only.

(v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the

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

Topography & General Geology

The Cauvery River has a gentle sloping towards eastern side, the area covered with sand, the

geology of the sand is very simple. The maximum altitude of the area is 5m (Maximum). The sand

is derived by erosion of weathered rocks and transported by the water stream and deposited on the

bed during the interface.

Details of Exploration

No exploration was carried out. The sand is found right from the surface of the River and

proposed to excavate up to depth of 1m below river bed.

Proposed Study to be carried out

As the quarrying operation is proposed to be carried out for a period of Two years only

to a depth of 1m below river bed further exploration or proposed study is redundant.

Method of Estimation of Reserves

The Geological plan demarcating the commercially viable sand has been prepared in

1:10,000 scale (Plate No. II).

The River Levels (RL) taken for the reserve calculation,

Totally ten sections have been drawn one along the length wise of the area (X-Y) and

another nine sections (A-B), (C-D), (E-F), (G-H) (I-J), (K-L), (M-N), (O-P) and (Q-R), section

along the width wise of the area in 100m grid interval to cover the area consider for lease in the

scale of Horizontal: 1:5000 & Vertical 1: 500 please refer (Plate No. II).



The cross sectional area for the proved depth persistence of 1.0m has been worked out for

the section. The cross sectional area multiplied by its length of influence on the longer axis gives the

volume (insitu) in the cross sectional area. The sum total of the insitu reserves available within the

individual cross sectional area gives the geological reserves of the lease applied area.

As the Mineable reserves of sand is in the terms of cubic meter. The geological resource,

mineable reserves are given only in terms of Cubic meter. The details of estimation of geological

resource and Mineable reserves with reference to the Topography, Geological Plan & Sections

(Plate No. II).

OPEN CAST WORKING

Opencast method of shallow mining is proposed, heavy Earth moving machineries like

excavator are proposed for quarrying this Sand up to a depth of 1m below the river bed. No

drilling and blasting is proposed, it is a Conventional Eco-Friendly quarrying operation.

The Sand will be loaded directly to the trucks/ Lorries for transportation to the needy

customers. The depth of quarry is proposed to be restricted up to 1.0m below the river bed only.

BASE LINE STUDIES

The base line study is prepared for Kulithalai Sand quarry project. Base line studies

provide a base data for regular Environmental Monitoring and Environmental Impact

Assessment (EIA).

The baseline study is provides bench mark for carrying out environmental Impact

assessment due to the course of quarrying and mining activities. The purpose of these studies is

to evaluate the benefited and adverse effect of developing activities on the neighborhood

environment and the area where the quarrying is proposed to carry out.

The Executive Engineer applied for Sand quarry project lease for over an extent of

11.00.0Ha located in S.F.No: 1 (P) of Kulithalai Village in Kulithalai Taluk, Karur District, and

Tamilnadu.

The comprehensive base line studies and standards constitute of collecting data on Flora

and Fauna list.
