a. Briefly describe the existing / proposed method for developing / working

the deposit with all design parameters:

The Granitic Gneisses are in the form of massive sheets with sheet joints in nature.

The quarrying in the lease area is semi-mechanized open cast method. The

technical parameters like surface topography, quality variations, and geotechnical

aspects are considered for production and extraction of building material in the

area. It is proposed to work the deposit by adopting benches formation with

ultimate pit slope of 600.

Wagon drilling is required for mild blasting to break the

17

hard sheet rock. The bench height and the width will be maintained as specified by

D.G.M.S. The width of the working benches shall not be less than the height. Year

wise production and development plan indicate the areas of workings site, disposal

e. Indicate proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed, and

the expected life of the mine and the year from which effected:

(i). Proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed: It is proposed

to produce an average 105974 tons / annum when the quarry is fully developed

(ii). Mineable reserves: Though the reserves are quite attractive, the mineable

reserves will be reduced due to formation of benches towards boundary line, this

can be solved by having suitable arrangements with adjacent land owner for full

exploitation of the reserves, meanwhile the reserves have been blocked in 7.5

meters safety barrier below the ground level.

Total Mineable reserves:

Total Geological Reserves - Mineable reserves= Non Mineable Reserves

(in Cum).

819650 – 761514 = 58136 Cum.

(iii) Anticipated life of the Mine: the quantities of mineable reserves estimated are

total reserves minus non mineable reserves and already extracted, considered as

(economical) marketable reserves. The mineable reserves of 1880939 Tons are

available in the lease area. The average annual production is 105974 Tons and thus

the life of the mine is 17 years.

f. Attach a note furnishing a conceptual mining plan for the entire lease

period (for “B” category mines) and up to the life of the (for “A”

category mines) based on the geological, mining and environmental

considerations: The Granitic gneiss as building stone deposit in the quarry

area is envisaged to be worked by forming mining benches of 6 meters height

19

from the ground level and the width shall me more than the height of the

benches with a general pit slope of 60o. The ultimate pit limit is marked as

shown on the quarry Closure Plan (Plate- 9). However, when the granitic

gneiss deposit is proved to full depth, the closure plan will be modified. The

quarrying is proposed to be taken with the full capacity of development and

production of on an average of about 105974 Tons per annum, during the

proposed closure plan period. Any modifications in the in the quantity of

production will be intimated to Department of Mines and Geology. The

mined out pits after extraction of the building material, will be reclaimed by

suitable reclamation and afforestration techniques and also by back filling the

pits by the overburden. The design and layout of the quarry benches is shown

on the above referred plan. During the closure plan period, the anticipated

production for the next 5 years period shall be 529869 Tons.

g. Open Cast Mines:

(i). Describe briefly giving salient features of the mode of working

(mechanized, semi-mechanized, manual): The extraction of building

material proposed to be worked by semi-mechanized method of working. In

view of the prepared quarry plan production of building stone material, it is

planned to operate by deploying machineries for development and

production, the separation of building stone material based on physical

parameters manually with conventional tools like crowbars, hammers,

pickaxe etc. and mechanically using drilling equipment’s, tippers will be

used for quarrying work. The parameters will thus the bench height of about

3 m and width is more than height of bench and jackhammer drilling carried

with dust proof drilling machineries. As proposed above, the development of

latest mechanization plays a very important role in the development quarry

and production program. The quarrying operation in notified area planned to

be of open cast and semi-mechanized. The recovery of building stone is

20

generally high i.e. more than 95%. It requires machinery for increased

production.

(ii) Describe briefly the layout of the mine workings, the layout of the

faces and sites for disposal of overburden/ waste: A reference to the plan

enclosed under 4 (b) and 4 (d) will suffice: During the plan period the

development and production will be carried out as shown in the 5 years

production and development plan Plate 5. The quarrying is done manually

and semi-mechanized (open cast method). During the development and

production program for the plan period it is proposed to produce 529869 tons

of saleable quantity.

ii. Water regime: There are no perennial water sources in around the applied

area within 500 meters radius. Since the lease area is moderate to steeply

sloping, the rain water drains through the surface area and joins to seasonal

water course outside the lease area.

iii. Flora and fauna: There are bushy thorny plants in the surrounding area. This

area is surrounded by villages and quarries hence there are no chances of wild

animals in the area. Only few species of thorny bushes, shrubs and few trees

are grown in the area. Pigeons, sparrows, Crows and Minas found in the area,

28

rarely deer’s, rabbits fox etc. are seen which are highly mobile. Apart from

this no other faunal habitat is observed in the area.

iv. Quality of Ambient Air, Noise level and Water: The quality of air and

water has not been studied in the area or around the area. Presently there are

no quarries surrounding this area under quarrying operations and there are no

other industries. As there are no other activities, generation of dust /noise at

present is within the limits prescribed by CPCB.

v. Climatic conditions: The area has a tropical climate. The peak summer will

be in the month of April and May, highest temperature will be about 390 C

will be during this season and the lowest temperature was recorded of about

140 C during the months of November and December. During previous years

the rainfall in this area was recorded about 715 mm.

iv. Human Settlements: The proposed quarry area is situated about 0.70 Km.

South West of Mitrahalli Village revenue village, about 1.10 Km. east of

Nayakanapalya, about 1.40 Km. South East of Vajjanahalli Village, about 1.00

Km. South of Halagondanahalli and Saragondanahalli villages, about 2.25

Km. North east of Seethakallu Village and about 3.00 Km. South west of

Kolalu Village which is a Hobli Headquarter. The area is connected by MDR

road Dabespet-Doddaballapur SH via Nidavanda-Sitakallu-Kolalu-Koratagere

ii. Air Quality: The mining operations will be by the manual method. The

workforce will expose to the air is due to dust which gets air borne due to

vehicular movements and dumping only.

iii. Water Quality: During rainy season silt is likely to get mixed with rain

water and flow to the seasonal nala flowing through the area. There are no

toxic elements discharges into the drains from the mining operations.

30

iv. Noise level: The area is more than 150 M. from the village roads where the

traffic is very low. The mining digging and traffic are the causes of

increasing noise level.

v. Water regime: As the area is a raising ground, there is no danger envisaged

to water regime by this quarry area.

vi. Socio Economics: The main occupation of the surrounding people is

agriculture and allied activities, the mining activity in this belt will benefit

to the local people both directly and indirectly. The direct beneficiaries will

be those who get employed in the quarry 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 enhance

by the mining activity, and thereby their purchasing power. In the long run a

lot of social goods is expected in the comparatively backward area when the

inhabitant will be sent their children to school.

vii. Historical Monuments: There are no historical monuments in or around

the area and hence there will be no impact due to mining. Because of small

scale mining there will be no effect.

C. ATTACH AN ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (SUPPORTED

BY APPROPRIATE PLANS AND SECTIONS) DEFINING THE TIME

BOUND ACTION PROPOSED TO BE TAKEN WITH SEQUENCE AND

TIMING IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS (OR DIAGRAMS SHOULD BE

USED)

i. Temporary storage and utilization of top soil: The soil generated is mixed

with pebbles etc. can be used for road maintenance. The soil useful for

agriculture, afforestration, trenches, whenever excavated will be stored

separately in the yard identified within the lease hold to height of maximum

of 0.06 M to keep their microbial activities safe.

31

ii. Year wise proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining activities

during the 1st to 5 years: No reclamation is proposed in this plan period

because the mining will be continued further depths from present pit bottom.

iii. Program of afforestration. Year wise for the initial five years: It is

proposed to develop a green belt in proportion of the non-mineralized area

and 7.5 m. buffer zone of the lease boundary. In addition, the place around

the haul road and backfilling area shall have plantation at the conceptual

period. Every year it is proposed to carry out afforestration over 0.054Ha.

by planting 500 saplings per annum around the quarry area. The species

chosen for green belt are fast growing good canopy and dense leaf density,

eco-friendly commercial/ species and some ornamental plants to give good

aesthetic.

The Total area of survey No. 22 is Government Gomala Land over an extent of 80

Acres part of which has been sanctioned to quarrying and poor households by the

Revenue Department. The remaining area is having thin soil cover with rock out

crops. The Plantation will be taken up in the vacant waste land followed by

trenching and earthen bunding.

For the plantation the saplings were procured from Karnataka Forest Department

Nursery, Koratagere and plantation will be carried out every year.

The Activities to be carried out under CSR Activities are as follows.

· Plantation in the School and Gram Panchayath Premises at nearby villages.

· Road side plantation along the approach road to the quarry and maintenance.

· Group insurance to workers and staff.

· Health insurance long term employers working in quarry and crusher.

· Medical check of work force once in 3 months and keeping the records.

The Budget for next five i.e. for plan period is shown in the Table below.

iv. Stabilization and Vegetation of dumps: There is no generation of

overburden / waste in the proposal plan period. Hence, there is no need of

stabilization of the dumps.

32

v. Measures to control erosion/ sedimentation of water courses: There is no

surface erosion in the subject area because the surface area is exposed by the

granite.

vi. Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Since there are no mine

waters or ground waters, the proposal of pumping out or any sort of treatment

and disposal of water from the quarry does not arise.

vii. Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: No adverse

effects are anticipated on water regime.

viii. Protective measures from ground vibrations / air blast caused by

blasting: There will be drilling and blasting is proposed in this area.

ix. Measures for protecting historical monuments and rehabilitation of

human settlements: There are no historical monuments are located close by

and hence need for protection does not arise.

x. Socioeconomic benefits arising out of mining: Few labors will get

employment and the state Government and Village Panchayath will get

royalty due to mining activity.

3.0 RESERVES: Please refer para No. 3 e (i) (ii) (iii) page No. 9 to 10

3.1 Mining Method: Please refer para No. 4 (b) page No. 12 to 14.

3.2 Mineral beneficiation: There is no mineral beneficiation. Man power will be

used for producing material. The question of tailing from the tailing ponds

does not arise. Only the material removed from the quarry will be transported

from the quarry to the respective stock yard, destination.

3.3 Review of Implementation of Mining Plan/ Scheme including five years

progressive closure Plan up to the final closure of the mine: The various

proposals made in the approved mining plan for the 5 years period has been

carried out to avoid environmental problems in the area.

3.4 Abstract of the proposals for Protecting of Environment:

Temporary storage and Utilization of Top soil: The soil generated is mixed

with pebbles etc., can be used for road maintenance. The soil useful for

agriculture, afforestration and trenches, whenever excavated will be stored

separately in the yard identified within the leasehold to a height of Maximum

0.5 M to keep their microbial activities safe.

3.5 Quarrying and allied activities: As per the proposed production and

development plan for plan period area for quarrying 1.1907 Ha, Mineral

storage area is 0.02 Ha. The Green belt around the lease area is about 0.3280

Ha.

3.6 Year wise proposal for Reclamation: Since Granite deposits are likely to

continue, concurrent reclamation is not feasible and after working pits are

37

exhausted, than concurrent backfilling will be proposed. The mined out areas

as shown in the relevant year wise production and development plans will be

not matured enough for reclamation. Hence, the backfilling on worked out pits

for reclamation program is not envisaged presently. Suitable afforestration

technique will be adopted for reclamation after winning of the mineral. Proper

fencing will be provided all round in order to prevent accidental falling of

animals and human trespassing in to the working areas.

3.7 Afforestration program: It is proposed to develop a green belt in portion of

the non-mineralized area and 7.5 M buffer zone of the lease boundary. In

addition, the place around haul road and backfilling area shall have plantation

at the conceptual period. Every year it is proposed to carryout afforestration

over 0.054 Ha. For planting 500 saplings per annum. The species chosen from

green belt are fast growing with good canopy and dense leaf density, eco-

friendly commercial species and some ornamental plants to give good

aesthetic look are shown on Environment Management Plan Plate No.9.

3.8 Stabilization of dumps: There is no generation of overburden / waste in the

proposal plan period. Hence, no need of stabilization of the dumps.

Measures to control erosion / sedimentation of water courses: There is no

surface erosion in the lease area because; the surface area is exposed by the

granite.

Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Since there is no mine water or

ground water, the proposal of pumping out or any sort of treatment and

disposal of water from the quarry does not arise.

Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: No adverse effects

are anticipated on water regime.

38

Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of the

habitat: There are no historical monuments are located close by and hence

need of protection does not arise.

4.0 CLOSURE PLAN:

4.1 Mined – Out Land:

Reclamation of the area will not be considered during the planned period of 5

years program. In view of the above, reclamation proposed concurrent to

mining and at the end of 5 years without complete extraction of ore available

in the area becomes violation of MCDR. As such the program of reclamation

of mine is not envisaged at this stage.

After complete extraction of estimated reserves the reclamation of area of land

affected by mining activities will be taken up in order to restore to its original

use to the possible extent. The reclamation measures proposed will be back

filling in phased program wherever it is necessary. The deep pits after

completion of mining which could be serving as water ponds will not be

considered for backfilling and will be left as it is after taking necessary

landscaping and providing protective measures in the aspects of safety by

consuming retention wall all along the lease boundary.

The details of the proposed land use are given below:

Type of Land used Extent in Ha.

Existing Quarry area 1.1907

Waste dump yard 0.0400

Mineral Stock yard 0.0300

Infrastructure 0.0100

Road 0.0200

Green belt 0.3280

Untouched area -

Total 1.6187

39

4.2 Water Quality Management: Water quality is good because there is no

source of pollution due to extraction of building stone material.

4.3 Air Quality Management: Dust generated by this quarry activity is quite

less. The major source of air pollution is due to Wagon Drill drilling activity

and loading of overburden / waste. The management of air quality shall be

by suppression of dust by water sprinkling on haulage roads and wet drilling

methods. Also in the vicinity of the area no major industries are seen and

the deposit is worked on very small scale.

4.4 Noise Level and vibration: No deep drilling and blasting activity involved in

quarrying operations. Only small diameter Wagon drilling is proposed for

wire saw cutting. Protective ear muffs, nose masks and hand glows, safety

shoes etc. are provided to reduce the effect of sound / noise and vibrations

for the drill operations.

4.5 Waste Management: The generation of waste material is very less from the

quarry and the same is utilized for afforestration / backfilling.

4.6 Top Soil Management: The soil likely to be generated will be pebbly soil.

This will be heaped in a maximum height of 0.6 M and used in

afforestration trenches. Grass will be planted to arrest erosion due to wind

action.

4.7 Infrastructure: The applicant will construct temporary structure required to

be maintained under statutory obligations which can be removed once the

work is completed. The approach road to the mine will be made and will be

maintained to meet the requirements of transportation. These are required

for utilization till the end of lease period.

4.8 Disposal of quarrying machinery: There is no proposal of disposal of

mining machineries during the present plan period.

40

5.0 SAFETY AND SECURITY:

The applicant will follow prevailing Mines Act., Karnataka Mines Minerals

Concession Rules & Regulations etc., as well as other directions given to him

time to time by the Directorate General of Mines safety. The applicant will

securely fence the excavated area by barbed wire of 1.5 M height to prevent the

free access and unauthorized people to the quarrying area. The applicant will

appoint security persons to ensure to prevent unauthorized entry on weekly off

days and during the time of discontinuation of quarrying operation.

6.0 DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT:

All the safety measures during the quarrying will be taken as per the norms of

DGM’s. Safety of the men and machine are most important during this

quarrying activity. No danger to public life and property arises as only trucks

ply from quarry site through public road. There are no water impoundments at

higher levels or at lower contours.

7.0 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DUE TO TEMPORARY

DISCONTINUANCE:

The requisite care and maintenance procedures shall be followed during

temporary discontinuance of the quarry. The notice of temporary

discontinuance in prescribe forms shall be submitted to the appropriate

authorities concerned in this regard with details of protection measures being

taken up. Security of the working areas fencing and suitable display boards

shall be put up during the temporary period of discontinuance.

8.0 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE

AND MAN POWER RETRECHMENTS:

8.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of the

continuation family occupation and scope of joining the occupation

back: The locals employed are about 50%. Those who are directly

41

employed, they are basically from agriculture back ground, they will be put

back to their original occupation. Necessary counseling will be taken care.

8.2 Compensation given to be given to the employee connecting with

sustenance of him and their family members: Compensation as provided

in the statue will be given, at the time of final mine / quarry closure to the

eligible persons.

8.3 Satellite occupations connected to the quarrying industry-number of

persons engaged therein-continuation of such business after quarry

closes: Most of the satellite occupations are not fully depending up on the

quarrying activity or closure of mines and the quarrying operations is small

scale. So the occupations like workshops hotel and tea shops will not affect

continuance their business.

8.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of

mining lease area and any other remnant activities: Security and

essential service to the people will continue to be employed for purely

shorter term / temporary basis, where operations are discontinued for longer

period, it is not continue with employment and so there will be reduced to

minimum, counseling will be extended for their rehabilitation.

8.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to

closure of the mine / quarry: There will be effect on their economy,

communication, transportation to some extent, but still these difficulties will

be manageable to large extent. The details will be given in the final mine /

quarry closure plan.

9.0 ABANDONMENT / REHABILITATION COST AND COST

ESTIMATION:

The cost based estimation on the activities required for implementing the

protective and rehabilitation measures including their maintenance and

monitoring program.

42

10.0 TIME SCHEDULE FOR ABANDONMENT:

The present plan prepared is a progressive quarry / Mine Closure Plan

indicating the reclamation and rehabilitation measures being taken up

simultaneously with the quarrying operations. No abandonment of quarrying

activities is envisaged. The man power and other resources for implementing

the protective and rehabilitation measures will be dealt in detail in the quarry

closure plan to be prepared for approval before abandonment of the quarry.

The details of afforestration inside and outside the quarrying lease area,

reclamation and rehabilitation, environmental monitoring details, machinery

performance and socioeconomic impact of quarrying shall be regularly

monitored and furnished to DMG records of the same shall also be maintained.
