2.0 Introduction 2.1 General:
Soapstone is one of the important industrial minerals. Soapstone occurs in the
area as a secondary mineral resulting from the hydration of magnesium
bearing rocks such as peridotite gabbro, dolomites etc. It occurs commonly in
the schists and steatite. Soapstone is hydrated magnesium silicate. Referring to
regional geological setup this soapstone seems to be younger than the
pyroxenite, quartzite and since the dolerite bodies intrusive in nature within it
so the soapstone is older than the dolerite. But locally, these litho units are not
exposed. As revealed from the quarry the top 1 m of soapstone is largely
weathered and in few place shows evidence of secondary alteration.
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: Soap Stone Quarry Extent: 4-05 Acres Sy.No. 142/1, 142/2 in Hosahalli Village Chickanayakanahalli Taluk & Tumkuru Dist. Karnataka.

2.4 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region: Soapstone is one of the important industrial minerals. Soapstone is a natural
quarried stone and is a metamorphic rock called steatite, composed primarily
of talc, with varying amounts of chlorite, micas, amphiboles, carbonates, and
other minerals. Because it is composed primarily of talc it is usually very soft.
Soapstone is typically grey, bluish, green, or brown in colour, often variegated.
Its name is derived from its "soapy" feel and softness. The special properties of
soapstone make it suitable, or the material of choice, for a wide variety of uses
like Countertops in kitchens and laboratories; Sinks; Cooking pots, cooking
slabs, boiling stones; Bowls and plates; Cemetery markers; Electrical panels;
Ornamental carvings and sculptures; Fireplace liners and hearths; Woodstoves;
Wall tiles and floor tiles; Facing stone; Bed warmers; Marking pencils; Molds
for metal casting; Cold stones etc.
2.5 Demand- Supply Gap: The Soapstone deposit mine is supplier of soapstone to various industries
located within Karnataka and Other South Indian States as well.
2.6 Imports vs. Indigenous Production: There will be no import of Soapstone. 2.7 Export Possibility: There is no proposal to export the Soapstone. 2.8 Domestic/ Export Markets: Sri. G. Basavaraju is supplier of Soapstone to various industries.
Export Market
The proposed mining activity is for indigenous consumption only for
Industries.
2.9 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project. About 26 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 Soap 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.
The actual block splitting from the sheet rock is mainly done manually or in
some cases by semi- mechanized methods, whereas the other operations, such
as removal of overburden, lifting and transporting etc. are carried out by
mechanized method.
3.2 Type of project incl. interlinked and interdependent project, if any: It is an Operating Soap Stone Quarry, envisaged for production of Soapstone.
However, the soapstone quarried will be directly sold to the potential users
from the mine site and there is no processing involved. Hence, for the proposed
quarrying activity, there are no interlinked and inter-dependent projects.

7.0 Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R & R) Plan 7.1 General The proposed building stone quarrying area, is located near Hosahalli Village
of Chikkanayakanahalli Taluk, Tumkur District of Karnataka State. The
proposed site is at about 1.5Km from the nearest human habitation i.e.
Hosahalli 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 Soap stone.
Wherever the topsoil generated, shall be collected and stacked separately for
use in a forestation.
Sri. G. Basavaraju Soap Stone Quarry Pre-Feasibility Report
P-17
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 Soap 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
Sri. G. Basavaraju Soap Stone Quarry Pre-Feasibility Report
P-18
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 Soap 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.
