Clearance for the project from SEAC. EIA Report identifies all of the issues and technical requirements of a

proposed operation, with particular attention to potential Environmental, Health and Safety, Social and

Economic Impacts. The purpose of EIA is to ensure the protection and conservation of the environment and natural

resources including human health aspects against uncontrolled development.

The long-term objective is to ensure a sustainable economic development that meets present needs without

compromising future generations’ ability to meet their own needs. EIA is an important tool in the integrated

environmental management approach. The aim of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to enable the

approving authority, the public, local and central government and the developer to properly consider the potential

environmental consequences of a proposal, and to make recommendations to reduce the environmental

consequences if necessary.

It is important to provide sufficient information for the approving authority to make a decision on

whether to approve a proposal and if so, under what conditions. The EIA provides the basis for sound

ongoing environmental management.

S.No. Activities in Mines Air Pollutants

1 Haul Road Permissible limit

2 Transportation Permissible limit

For safety purpose while drilling wet drilling method will be adopted for the suppression of dust. The

haul roads will be made water sprinkling during transportation.

Air Pollution Control Measures

Air or Dust expected to be generated from hauling roads, places of excavation etc., will be

suppressed by periodical wetting of land by water spraying.

Mine Drainage

From the study of the adjacent wells, the ground water table is ranging from 20m onwards.

Noise Levels

Quarrying of Savudu will be carried by without drilling and blasting, so that naturally, noise will be

very minimum. However, periodical noise level monitoring will be carried out to check the noise level in and

around the quarry site.

Vibration Levels

No vibration in the case of Savudu quarrying.

(ix) Solid waste management:

No solid waste is generated in the Savudu quarry.

7. REHABILITATION & RESETTLEMENT PLAN (R&R Plan)

(i) Policy to be adopted (central/District) in respect of the project affected persons including home ousters,

land ousters, and landless labours.

a) PAP

There is no hutment in the lease area. No human being will be displaced from the project area so no

person will be affected contrary local people will get job opportunities and better facilities. There is

no rehabilitation & resettlement of people is required.

b) Mine Closure

Once the process of economical extraction of a mine is complete there is need for scientific

mine closure which will not only restore ecology and regenerate bio mass but also take into account the socio-

economic aspects of such closure. When mining activities are carried out, mining communities get established

and closure of the mine means not only loss of jobs but also disruption of community life. At the mine

closure, it will be orderly and systematic and so planned as to help the workers and the dependent community to

rehabilitate them without undue hardship. The mined out area after closure of mine will be used as a water

reservoir.

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL AND FINAL RECOMENDATIONS

(i) Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people including tribal

population, if any in the area.

Social Benefits:

Mining in the project area will provide employment to nearby villagers. This employment will help in

raising the standard of living on the people in the area. The mining activity in this belt will benefit the locals

both directly and indirectly. The direct beneficiaries will be those who get employed in the mines as

skilled and un-skilled workers. The indirect beneficiaries will be those who open small business to sell

goods required by the residents whose “Per Capita income will be enhanced by the mining activity, and thereby

their purchasing power. In the long run a lot of social goods are expected in the comparatively backward area

when the inhabitants will be able to send their children to school, the change, though slow, is bound to be

perceptible.

Financial Benefits:

It is clear from the objectives of the project that it will have significant positive impacts since it will:

Provide filling material to the society at large.

Give a boost to economic development in the region in the long run. Make a significant contribution to

the construction and infrastructure sector of India.

Management will ensure good production and in turn there will be good revenue to the Government of

Tamilnadu and Government of India through taxes. The industry is an asset to the nation. This project is planned

keeping in view the above mentioned advantages.

The quarrying operations will be carried out scientifically and systematically with an integrated mining

plan and mine design may not disturb the environment and ecology of the area.
