(iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly
the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted
The quarrying operation is proposed in the Patta land 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 the project is about 2.83.50Ha. It is proposed to exploit Gravel about
13184m3 by open cast method of shallow mining is proposed for quarry by deploying excavate
directly for a period of Three 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)
General Geology
The Lease applied area is slightly undulated terrain, Gravel is composed of unconsolidated rock
fragments that have a general particle size range and include size classes from granule- to cobble-
sized fragments. Gravels is sub-categorized by the Udden-Wentworth scale into granular Gravels (>2
to 4 mm or 0.079 to 0.16 in) and pebble Gravels (>4 to 64 mm or 0.2 to 2.5 in). One cubic yard of
Gravels typically weighs about 3000 pounds (or a cubic meter is about 1,800 kilograms).
The applicant intends to use this Gravel especially for filling and leveling of low lying areas
for own use and public projects in and around the district.
OPEN CAST WORKING
Open cast method of shallow mining is proposed, Machineries like excavators are proposed
for quarrying Gravel 1m from the surface level depth. No drilling or blasting is proposed for this type
of Gravel quarrying, it is a conventional eco friendly quarrying operation.
The Gravel will be loaded directly to the trucks / Lorries for transportation to the needy
customers.
Details of Exploration
No exploration is carried out. The Gravel is found clearly right from the surface in the lease
applied area.
Proposed Study to be carried out
As the quarrying operation is proposed to be carried out for a period of Three years only to a
depth of 1m from the surface level further exploration or proposed study is redundant.

Method of Estimation of Reserves
The Geological plans demarcating the commercially viable Gravel body have been prepared in
1:1000 scales (Plate No.III).
Totally two sections have been drawn, one section is drawn along the Length wise as (X-Y)
another sections 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- III).
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.

BASE LINE STUDIES OF KALATHUR GRAVEL QUARRY P.SERVARAN
BASE LINE STUDIES
The base line study is prepared for Kalathur Gravel 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.
Thiru. P.Servaran applied for Gravel Quarry project lease for over an extent of
2.83.50Ha in S.F.No: 232/1, 232/2A1 & 232/2A2A at Kalathur Village, Tiruchuli Taluk,
Virudhunagar District and Tamilnadu.
General approach to Environment
The Environmental besides data comprise of the features present of the site area its
includes environmental features such as forest area, conservation area, water bodies, industries,
wild life and fauna place of historic and importance etc.,
The data collected to cover the following.
1. Air Environment
2. Noise Environment
3. Water Environment
Air Environment
Ambient Air quality has been assessed through a net – Work of 3 ambient air quality
stations. Standard monitoring and analysis procedures were adopted for adopted for determining
the Air quality parameters. The PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2 are monitored as per prescribed
guidelines/methods. The AAQ monitored data for all locations for above parameters are shown
in Table No: 1

Noise Environment:
Sound can be defined as atmospheric or air vibration perceptible to ear. Noise is usually
unwanted or undesired sound. Consequently, particular sound can be noise to one person and not
to others or noise at one time and not at other time. Hence sound loud enough to be harmful is
called noise without regard to its characteristics. Noise is a form of pollution because it can cause
hearing impairment and psychological stresses.
The noise level measurement in the core zone and nearby buffer zone area was carried
out to evaluate the future impact on noise environment due to the proposed mining operation.
Noise measurements were carried out using Lutron SL 4001 sound level meter. The result of
hourly background noise levels for all locations are given in Table No: 2

Conclusion
The base line studies relents no hazardous levels of dust and noise and prevailing at the
project area. A well implemented environmental Management plan as discussed in the mining
plan will help in mitigation the adverse effects due to quarrying activities.
The movement of vehicles is very minimal. The entire vehicle used will be periodically
maintained by well experienced mechanic and kept under TNPCB standards, emission testing
will be carried out periodically and water will be sprinkled periodically to prevent dust into air.
The small quantity of non-humus rich surface soil will be removed and preserved in the
boundary barrier to facilitate the Afforestation.
Environmental care and attitude of preventing environment is inducted to the proponent
and advice to carry out and mitigate the minor impacts due to quarrying. Appropriate persons are
advice to get employed to protect the Environment and Ecology of the area.
