3. 0 GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESERVES

3.1 Brief description of the

Topography and general Geology

of the area (with plans)

The Topography of the land is slightly

undulated terrain. It s a tank, only used for

storing the water in the rainy season. The Gravel

formation is accumulated in the tank. The Gravel

is formed by the erosion and transportation of

rock particles. The altitude of the area is 125m

(Maximum) from MSL.

The slope of the area is gentle towards northern

side. Please refer the Topography, Geological plan

and sections (Plate No –II)

3.2 Details of exploration already

carried out if any

No exploration was carried out. The Gravel

formation is found right from the surface and

proposed to excavate upto a depth of 1.0m only.

3.3 Estimation of reserves The Geological plans demarcating the

commercially viable Gravel body have been

prepared in 1:1000 scales (Plate No.II).

Totally two sections have been drawn, one

section is drawn along the Length wise as (X-Y)

another section is drawn the Width wise as (A-B) to

choose the maximum area cover under the lease in

the Horizontal 1:1000 and Vertical 1: 100 (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 resources of the lease applied area.

As the recoverable of Gravel in the terms of

cubic meter. The Geological Resources, Mineable

Reserves are given only in terms of Cubic meter.

The Details of estimation of Geological

Resources and Mineable Reserves with reference to

Topography, Geological Plan and Section shown in

(Plate No. II).

blasting, hence the air quality will not affect due to

the quarrying operation, water will be sprinkled in the

haul roads periodically to suppress dust Ambient Air

Quality monitoring will be carried out to check the

Quality of Air in and around the Quarry. Water for dust

suppression will be extract from the nearby borewells.

9.7 Plan for noise level control This Conventional Eco Friendly quarrying

operation does not involve any blasting and drilling

methods, hence noise will be minimal and this is only

due to the movement of Excavators and Trucks.

Periodically Noise level monitoring will be carried out

to check the Noise level in and around the Quarry.

The drivers will be strictly instructed to move

the vehicle during the transportation not exceed

40 km per hour. Sentries with flags & whistle will

posted in village junction and populated area to

control and regulate traffic.

9.8 Environmental impact

assessment statement

describing impact of mining

on the next five years

The life span of the quarry is proposed for the period

of three months only; the Proposed quarrying for a

small production of Gravel does not involve any drilling

and blasting. Such limited mining activity is not likely

to cause any impact adversely on environment as far

as pollution of air, water and noise is concerned.

9.9 Proposal for waste

management

There are no wastages anticipated during the

quarrying operation. The entire Gravel will be

transported to the needy customer’s site.

Project cost / investment

i) Land cost It is a Government Land hence no cost is involved.

ii) Machinery to be used The excavators of 0.90m3 bucket capacity and

tippers of 10/20Ts capacity will be used.

The quantity of Diesel consumption is based on the

working hours of Excavators (Filling Factor and loading

Cycling), in the open cast quarry project Excavators

are proposed to quarry Gravel. Average Diesel

consumption of Hitachi Excavator model EX 110-150 is

16Ltrs/ Hr.

Total number of Excavator used

for quarrying Gravel = 1No

Average Diesel consumption

Tata Hitachi (Model Ex-110-150) = 16Ltr/Hr

Diesel Prize around = Rs. 60 (At present scenario)

Total Excavator running hours for the project

One excavator will excavate 60m3/Hour

= 30000 /60m3

= 500 Excavator hours

One Excavator will consume 16Ltrs/ hour

Hence 500 X16 = 8000 Ltrs of HSD will be

utilized for the entire project life.

The hired vehicle charges per hour inclusive of diesel

around Rupees 1200/hour

Total running hours = 500hours

= 500hours x Rs.1200

= Rs 6,00,000/- for the entire project life.
