2.(ii) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT
Mr. Saidalavi.K proposes a building stone quarry for dealing in mining and
trading of mineral. The main objective of the project is to carry the business of
operating and working on quarries. The main market for mineral is in
Malappuram District and other nearby districts in Kerala which are utilized it in
construction works of buildings and roads.
2.(iii) NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY
AND OR REGION
The major need of Granite building stone is due to its high compressive strength
and durability (among the hardest, dimensional & structural stones), it can
effectively withstand the vagaries of nature. The high hardness & density, makes
it useful for many applications. The proposed mining project will fulfill its end
uses in buildings and construction of roads, paving and many other exterior
projects. It is also known as the maintenance-free stone.
The main market for mineral is in Malappuram & other nearby districts
which are utilized in construction works of buildings and roads.
The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas bring about
gains in gross domestic product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the
proposed project but will add to gains in G.D.P. (Gross Domestic Product). A
total of 12 Persons will be employed in the mine. It will create employment
(though marginally) for local population. Applicant will pay royalty to Govt. of
Kerala for the mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect taxes will be
paid thereby contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue will further
be put for infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education and
social welfare.
2. (IV) DEMAND – SUPPLY GAP
Masonry / Building Stone are an important component for the construction /
developmental work for all infrastructure development and building construction
and road construction activities. Demand of building stone shall be fulfilled by
various end users. During last few years, due to sudden increase in real estate
activities and in other infrastructural development activities, the demand of the
building stone has further enhanced the demand of building stone in the area.
Therefore, there is a large requirement of building stone in the project vicinity to
meet the demand supply chain.
2.(v) IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION
Building stone product is an indigenous production. Therefore, this product is
neither exported nor imported.
2.(vi) EXPORT POSSIBILITY
The building stone is an indigenous product and hence there are no
possibilities of export.
2.(vii) DOMESTIC / EXPORT MARKETS
The rock produced from the quarry will be sent to the Crusher unit available
near the complex. The aggregate produced will be sold to the contractors and to
the consumers which are finally consumed locally for road (PWD & Panchayat
roads, State Highway & National Highway) & building construction works.
Fine Material will be sold to the hollow block / solid block manufactures.
2. (Viii) EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE
PROJECT

MINERAL TRANSPORTATION
Loading of mineral from the quarry will be done by excavator and will be sent
to the crushing unit near the complex. Trucks / Tippers of 15 MT will be used
for transportation of mineral from mine site to the crusher. It is expected that 5
trips will be required on daily basis. For this, movement of truck per hour will
be one only. Thus, the impact due to movement of trucks from mine will be
marginal and well within the carrying capacity of the roads.
3.(VII) RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION / RECYCLING AND REUSE ENVISAGED
IN THE PROJECT
Mineral will be utilized and sent for use to different end users for road and
building construction works. A total quantity of 12,360 cu. m. of topsoil is
proposed to be removed during the mining operations. The topsoil excavated
from the quarry will be dumped / stacked separately at pre-determined place and
subsequently will be utilized in spreading over reclaimed areas for plantation as
part of eco-restoration.
About 22,000 cu. m.. of overburden (OB) will be generated throughout the mine
life. This waste will be utilized within the pit for lying of haul roads. At the end
use, OB can be reutilized as soil base for plantation.
3.(viii) AVAILABILITY OF WATER ITS SOURCE, ENERGY / POWER
REQUIREMENTAND SOURCEWATER The total water requirement for the proposed mining activity is 5 KLD. The
detailed breakup of the same is given below:-
S. No. Particulars Quantity (KLD) Source 1. Domestic purpose (mine and ancillary) 1 Bore well
2. Dust Suppression / Water sprinkling at mine 2
Storm water pond
3. Green belt / Plantation 2
Total 5
The water required will be sourced from the storm water reservoir. However,
the drinking water will be sourced from the open well and which will be
treated / disinfected before consumption. It is proposed to collect the storm
water into the Holding/ Siltation Tank by constructing appropriate channels all
around the foot of hill (garland drains). The channels will be constructed with
intermediate check dams/silt traps to prevent soil erosion. The sizing of the
channels will be 1m x 1m.
POWER
The total power requirement will be 75 kW for compressors which will be
operated by Diesel Engine. The source of electricity for domestic consumption
within the quarry site is from the supply of Kerala State Electricity Board
(KSEB).
3.(ix) QUANTITY OF WASTES TO BE GENERATED (LIQUID AND SOLID) AND SCHEME
FOR THEIR MANAGEMENT / DISPOSAL.
SOLID WASTE: It is estimated that around 31,425 cu. m. of top soil and
22,000 cu. m. of over burden (OB) will be generated from the proposed
mining operation and which will be properly stacked.
LIQUID WASTE: Domestic Sewage: The sewage to a tune of 0.80 KLD generated from the mine
office.

5.0 PLANNING BREIF 5. (i) PLANNING CONCEPT
The mining will be done by open cast semi-mechanized method of mining.
The bench height and width will be maintained 5 mtr. Excavated material is
transported to the crusher unit available near the complex for further
processing. The proposed mine will have capacity to produce 40,000 MTA of
building stone. It will be used for construction of buildings & roads. Mineral
will be transported by trucks / tippers to the end users. The production and
development plan of the project is attached as Plate 7
5.(ii) POPULATION PROJECTION
About 12 Persons of employees proposed for the quarrying operation. Most
of the person will be sourced from neighboring villages. Thus there will be
no increase in population due to the project.
5. (III) ASSESSMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEMAND (PHYSICAL AND
SOCIAL)
The mine site has its own approach road and well connected to the nearest
public road / highway, which will help in commutation of workers and
transportation of minerals. As such there is no major infrastructure facilities
planned in this project and does not call for importance. The main mining
site and secondary access road will be kept in a sufficient condition to allow
access.
On the basis of the site visit, the infrastructure demand in the nearby villages
will be assessed on the basis of need and priority. Job opportunities are
limited and newer avenues of skill development for income generation are
required.
6.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE
6.(i) INDUSTRIAL AREA (PROCESSING AREA)
The project site area is not located in an industrial area. The project is a mining
project and is site specific.
6.(ii) RESIDENTIAL AREA (NON PROCESSING AREA)
As the local person will be given priority in employment, no permanent
residential area / housing is proposed only labour sheds are provided within the
complex.
6.(iii) GREEN BELT
The year wise programme of eco-restoration for the life of mine will be made
and about 150 trees will be planted in an area of 1.3423 ha.
6.(iv) SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE The Social Infrastructure facility available around the site is provided at Table
above
6.(v) CONNECTIVITY (TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ROAD / RAIL /
METRO /WATER WAYS ETC.)
The site is very well connected by road network to the mine, district headquarter
and to the nearest towns. The area is self sufficient to cater the needs of the
project.
6.(vi) DRINKING WATER MANAGEMENT (SOURCE AND SUPPLY OF
WATER)
The water required for the project will be sourced from the storm water
reservoir and from well. The drinking water to a tune of 1 KLD will be sourced
from the bore well which will be treated / disinfected before consumption.
6.(vii) SEWERAGE SYSTEM
The sewage to a tune of 0.80 KL will be generated daily from the mine office will
be diverted to the septic tank followed by soak pit.
6.(viii) INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT There will be no industrial waste generation due to proposed project
.
