The submission of Mining plan is a pre requisite for quarry lease as per Rule 7(A) of APMMC
Rules, 1966.As per the Notification of the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Climate Change
(MoEF& CC), New Delhi dated: 14 Sep 2006, it is mandatory for all the Mining Projects with lease
area of 5.000 Ha and above irrespective of the mineral (major or minor) to obtain prior
Environmental Clearance (EC) under the provisions thereof. Further, all Category A and Category
B1 projects shall under take public consultation in accordance with the above notification. Further
the Government of India, Ministry of Environment & Forest vide office memorandum No. L-
11011/47/2011-IA.II(M), Dated: 18th May, 2012 in order to ensure compliance of the Honourable
Supreme Court Dated:27.02.2012 in I.A.12-13 of 2011 in SLP( C ) No. 19628-19629 of 2009,
instruction were issued that all the mining projects of minor minerals including their renewal,
irrespective of the size of the lease would hence forth require prior environment clearance.
Decentralizing the Environmental Clearance (EC) for sustainable sand mining and mining of minor
minerals, Govt of India MoEF, has created District Environment Impact Assessment Authority
(DEIAA) vide S.O.141(E) dated 15 Jan 2016. This district level authority has the powers to
approve the ECs for the mining of minor minerals for an area less than 5.000 Ha.
As the area of mining in this case is less than 5.000 Ha (0.773 Ha) the lessee has to obtain EC
from MoEIAA, Delhi after the approval of this Mine Plan. In view of the above, the lessee intends
to prepare an Environmental Management plan for submission for grant of Environmental
Clearance for their proposed 0.773 Ha of Road Metal and Building Stone Quarry lease area,
thereby submitting this draft Mining Plan for necessary further action which is a pre-requisite for
EC.
In this connection, Sri.T.Murali, Managing Partner of M/s.Vijayalakshmi Stone Crushers, has
approached Mr. B.Damodaram, Consultant Geologist & RQP to prepare the Quarry Plan following
the prescribed guidelines. Hence, this Mining Plan is being prepared and submitted under Rule 7

b. Regional Geology
The oldest rocks of the area belonging to the late Archaean or Early Proterozoic era, which is
succeeded by rocks of younger granite rock of Archean group. and both are traversed by Dolerite
dykes. The Geological formations in the Chittoor (Dist) can broadly be divided in distinct and well
marked groups and older groups of metamorphic rocks belonging to Archean and Younger group
of Sedimentary rocks belonging to the Proterozoic age, later cover part of younger granite rock
formation of Archean group. The remaining part of district is occupied by Archean rocks which
consists of Schist, Gneisses, Quartz veins and Basic Dykes.The Archean rocks have suffered
considerable degree of tectonic disturbances as a result of which the rocks have been
7
metamorphosed and recrystallized. During the late Archean Era, igneous intrusions of alkaline
rocks formed in Chittoor belt.

about nearly 3.0 m, with RL in between 305 m – 302 m that is considered to be proved reserves.
c. Reserves are estimated by cross sectional method.
5. FEASIBILITY AXIS
a. Geology: The detailed Geology of the area has been presented in Part-A, which may kindly be
referred to.
i. Geology: Road Metal and Building stone will be exploited through opencast other than fully
mechanized mining methods with drilling & Blasting. The quarrying operation will be carried out in
a systematic way by forming benches of 3.0 m height and the height with proportionate width will
be maintained. Jack Hammer drilling and controlled blasting will be carried out in the QL area.
ii. Environment: The deposit will be mined adopting conventional opencast semi-mechanized
mining methods without any adverse environmental impact. The Lessee will obtain statutory
clearances as soon as this Mining Plan is approved. Mining in the leasehold does not disturb any
human settlements as they are far away from the QL area. On the other hand, the quarrying
operations will create livelihood to the villagers nearby. The Lessee will develop green belt around
the QL area as part of his commitment to environment protection.At the time of rainy season water
flows through stream channel from the up streams to down wards.This stream channel will goes
11
from west to east in the quarry lease area, however precaution measures will take as per the
norms of APMMC Rules.
iii. Processing: After blasting, the ROM will be utilised own crusher. No processing is required
excepting sizing manually.

6. ECONOMIC AXIS
i. Detailed Exploration: Detailed topographic survey and geological mapping of the applied QL
area was subject to detailed exploration by field traverses and well inventory data. The depth of
sheet rock is assessed by the litho log observed in the boreholes of agricultural lands.
ii. Mining Reports / Mining Plan: This is the first Mining Plan has been submitted.
iii. Specific End-Use Grades Of Reserves (Above Economic Cut-Off Grade): ROM is intended
for crushing to use in the aggregates for roads and building stone materials.
iv. Specific Knowledge Of Forest / Non-Forest And Other Land Use Data: The entire QL area
is Government waste land.
v. Feasibility Report Along With Financial Analysis Per Economic Viability Of The Deposit:
The cost of production of road metal and building stone is arrived at Rs. 250/- per ton inclusive of
taxes and royalty. The entire ROM is for captive purpose as such it is surely economic and
profitable.
6. Reserves
i. Mining Method, Recovery Factor, Mining Losses, Processing Loss etc: Road Metal and
Building Stone will be quarried by open cast other than fully mechanized method with drilling and
controlled blasting. The recovery factor is considered as 95% with 5% intercalated waste. There
will not be any quarrying losses except handling loss, which will be recovered during next loading.
ii. Cut-off Grade, Ultimate Pit Depth Proposed: There is no cut-off grade as the ROM will be put
to use for road metal and building stone as aggregates. The Ultimate Pit average depth Limit
(UPL) will be 12 m in the middle portion of the QL area during the end of first fifth year of this
Mining Plan of residual period.
iii. Mineral/ Ore Blocked Due to Benches, Barriers, Pillars, Road, Railway, River, Nala,
Reservoir, Electric Line and Other Statutory Barriers etc,: The mineral will be blocked in 7.50
m safety barrier zone, roads and benches which is computed separately and tabulated below in
the succeeding sections.
iv. Total Mineral Reserves: The reserves are estimated basing on field traverses and the
information gathered during the field visit of the area and cross sections drawn. The area of the
influence and the cross sections on either side of the cross sections A-A’, B-B’ & C-C’’ were taken
at 25.0 m.The occurrence of the Granite is probably more than 3.0 m above existing above ground
13
level. Based on the field traverses, the estimated reserves considered as Proved Reserves.Three
cross-sections A-A’, B-B’ & C-C’’ are considered for computation of reserves. The depleted
reserves have been accounted by cross sections and reserves are computed.

2. MINING:
i. OPEN CAST MINING
a. Breifly describe the existing as well as proposed method for Excavation with all design
parameters indicating plate nos of plans / sections.The applied area belongs to hilly terrain
and raising to a height of more than 3.0 m from the normal ground level. Most of the area is
covered by the granite sheet formation at higher levels with less over burden. The mining activity
is proposed to be carried out by open cast bench forming method with the help of drilling, blasting
and using excavator. The granite is hard in nature the blasting is required for excavation. Hence
the lessee is advised to get the explosive licence, since it is a time taking process, the blasting will
be allocated to put sourcing blasting licensed agencies which has an explosive license in starting
of the lease period. The blasted ROM will be loaded into trippers/ dumpers of 20 tons capacity by
using excavator. The loaded ROM will be transported to the crushing plant . The ROM will crushed
in the crusher plant to different sizes of 60mm, 40mm, 20mm, 12mm, 6mm and dust and supplied
to construction, road and railway works. The quarry operations will be carried out by benches of
15
3.0 m height from higher levels to lower levels. It is proposed to raise about 29,520 tons ROM
during the five years of plan of residual period.
b. Year-Wise Tentative Excavation in Cubic Meters Indicating Development, ROM, Pit Wise:
It is proposed to raise the insitu ROM of 28,044 m3 on an average per year from this quarry. The
granite sheet rock is exposed as a hillock to a height of 3.0m from the ground level, so no
separate development is required in the beginning of the mining activity to get the target
production from this quarry. The quarry working will be carried out by open cast method with the
help of drilling and blasting from the top of the hill. Since the applicant does not have blasting
license, the blasting part will be allocated to private licensed agency in the initial stage inwhich the
lessee has get an blasting license. The blasted ROM will be loaded into trippers/ dumpers of 20
tons capacity by excavator. The loaded ROM will be transported to the crushing unit which is
existing near by the lease area in the proposed own / lease land on the south western part of the
lease area. The ROM will be crushed at the crushing unit to various sizes and sorted to 60mm,
40mm, 20mm, 12mm, 6mm and sand and supplied to different construction works, road works and
railway ballast.. The Tentative excavation proposed to be carried out for the first five years plan of
residual period is estimated at 11,808 m3 from which intended ROM 28,044 of tons of Road Metal
and Building Stone will be mined out by open cast mechanised method by forming benches of
3.0m each and 7.5m buffer zone. The year-wise details are presented below:

g. Conceptual Mining Plan:
i. Details of the conceptual status of pits: The lease period is for 15 years ending in June 2018.
Thus, the present period of five years block ends in 2017-18. By the end of the first five years plan
period, i.e 2013-14 to 2017-18 total of 28,044 tons of ROM is planned for production. The planned
depth of the quarry would be 3.0m.
ii, The worked out pit as a whole will occupy an area of 3,936 m2 to a depth of 3.0 m from the
existing FRL 295 m of the worked out pit. The area occupied by internal roads would be 106 m2,
while plantation would be occupying an area of 540 m2 in all the four directions in buffer zones of
QL area. The conceptual plan and conceptual section on a scale of 1:1000 is presented on Plate –

h. UNDERGR GROUND MINING N.A.
3. MINE DRAINAGE:
a. Minimum and Maximum Depth of Water Table: The QL area is a small mound with a
maximum height of 3.0 m above existing ground level. There are no water bodies existing in the
vicinity. GW level is observed to be ranging between 30-35m below GL
b. Maximum and Minimum Depth of Workings: Initial GL of the mine area is ranging between
305 m to 302 m MSL. After first five years of plan of production, the maximum and minimum depth
of workings reached level of 295 m and 292 m MSL
c. Quantity and Quality of Water Likely to be Encountered: No water will not be encountered in
the QL area during the excavations and subsequent operations as the quarrying is on an elevated
mound above the GL of 3.0 m and the GWL is at 30-35m below the existing GL. Hence no need
for pumping does not arise. Quality of GW tested from the surroundings is found to be potable.
19
d. Regional and Local Drainage Pattern: The entire QL area has a down slope only. Sheet wash
run-off is anticipated during the monsoon area. Annual rainfall in the QL area is below the district
average rainfall i.e., 700mm.at the time of rainy season one of the stream course flow from west to
east in the quarry lease area. There is one tanks existing on eastern part of about 1.5 km away
from the quarry lease area, precautions measures takes as per the norms of APMMC Rules .Solid
wash expected during monsoon season in the QL area is negligible.
4.STACKING OF MINERAL REJECT / SUB-GRADE MATERIAL AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE
Tops soil in the QL area is negligible. The waste that would be generated is only form interstitial
voids that is estimated at 5%. This will be utilized for the formation of internal roads periodically.
Rest of the waste will be utilized to form a 2.0m high barrier all along he 7.50m buffer zone of the
QL area.

8. PROGRESSIVE QUARRY CLOSURE PLAN (PQCP)
8.1.. Environment Base line information:
a. Existing Land Use Pattern: The QL area is a wasteland. An area of about 3,936 m2 will be
excavated to a depth of 3.0m on an average to win the mineral. An area of 540 m2 is proposed for
afforestation. The QL area is a barren land and surrounding lands are Cultivated
lands..Environmental Plan on a scale of 1:5000 is enclosed as Plate-5.
b. Human Settlements: Within a radius of 5km of QL area exists 14 villages.The main profession
of the people is agriculture, rearing sheep and cows and other small business and labour on daily
wages. More details of the villages in the surroundings are as tabulated below in Table No.12.

c. Public Buildings, Places of Worship and Monuments: No public buildings, places of worship
or interest and monuments are present in the vicinity of QL area.
d. Sanctuary if any in the Vicinity ofthe Lease Hold: No sanctuary, zoo or park are present in
the vicinity of the QL area.
8.2. Impact Assessment:
a. Land Area Degraded: An area of about 3,936 m2 will be degraded for the working pit. In
addition, an area of 106 m2 will be used for internal roads of the quarry. Plantation will occupy 540
Sq mts.
b. Air Quality: Various activities involved in mining of Road Metal and Building Stone generates
dust. To some extent, dust generated will be controlled by sprinkling of water on roads. Masks,
earplugs and safety goggles will be supplied to the workers on site to protect themselves from
dust.
c. Water Quality: There are no water bodies like ponds, lakes in the vicinity of QL area. One
stream course in the quarry lease area, precautions takes as per the norms of APMMC
Rules..Quarrying of Road Metal and Building Stone generates minimal dust, which is not harmful.
Hence, the quality of the water in the surrounding water bodies will not be affected by the mining
activity.
d. Noise Level: The QL area does not have any villages in the immediate neighborhood. The
nearest village are Ramakrishnapuram and Kothapalle villages which are 0.5 km and 1.0 km away
from the QL area. Noise is anticipated in the various activities involved like Drilling, blasting and
vehicle movement. As the mining activities are of the small scale in nature, the noise generated
would be well within the limits and would not affect the residents in the surrounding villages.
Lessee will take all necessary measures to minimize the sound generated particularly during
blasting activity like using of mufflers. Site workers will be supplied with ear plugs to protect
themselves from noise pollution.
e. Vibration Levels due to Blasting: As the drilling method proposed, is by using tractor mounted
compressors and controlled blasting vibration level will be within the limits and will not affect the
people working on site.
22
f. Water Regime: Mining activity proposed is over the elevated mound and the maximum level of
the pit will be 12 m that is only 3 m higher than the above ground level and 9 m lowest of the
existing below ground in the QL area i.e., level 292 m MSL. As the GW is at expected to be at a
depth more than 35m in the QL area GW will no way will be affected.
g. Acid Mine Drainage: No chemicals are involved in the extraction or processing of the mineral,
hence there is no danger of acid mine drainage.
h. Surface Subsidence: The ground surface in around the QL area is covered by Granites of
Archaean Basements complex the ground is stable. Internal roads are well compacted to avoid
any skidding of vehicles. The benches and ramp ways will be well built and maintained to avoid
any kind of subsidence or skidding.
i. Socio Economics: Quarrying of Road Metal and Building Stone will generate employment to
the people of surrounding villages both skilled and unskilled. Government will get income in the
form of royalty, rent etc. Raw material for the road and civil works will be generated by the
quarrying activity that will be one of the boosting factors for the local economy.
j. Historical Monuments: No historical, archeological or Geological monuments are present in
and around the QL area.
k. Bio-Diversity: The slopes and crevices of the mound have some bushes and shrubs. No wild
animals are reported within these bushes.
8.3. Progressive Reclamation Plan:
a. Mined-Out Land: No Mined out land will be formed during the first five year plan of residual
period. The mineral reserves exist further deeper than the UPL 12m of this plan period and
quarrying will continue for the rest of the lease grant period.
b. Topsoil Management: Top soil present in the QL area is negligible and hence topsoil
management does not arise.
c. Tailings Dam Management: Tailings Dam is not required.
d. Acid Mine Drainage and Mitigation Measures: No chemicals are involved in the extraction or
processing of the mineral, hence there is no danger of acid mine drainage.
e. Surface Subsidence Mitigation Measures: The ground surface in around the QL area is
covered by Granites of Archaean Basements complex the ground is stable. Internal roads are well
23
compacted to avoid any skidding of vehicles. The benches and ramp ways will be well built and
maintained to avoid any kind of subsidence or skidding.
8.4. Disaster Management and Risk Assessment:
Disasters are possible in an industry like mining. The possibilities of occurrence of some of
incidents are tabulated below in Table12.

To meet with any kind of emergency on or off site, risks are assessed in advance and Risk
assessment plan is prepared. Assessing the possible hazards and planning the procedures to be
followed in case of emergency will reduce the intensity impact. Proper bench design in mine and
observing all kind of safety measures, usage of proper PPE on site, attentiveness of the work
force on site, following pre-defined traffic rules by all the people on site some of the measures to
be followed to reduce accidents on site. Proper care in storage and handling of explosives,
hazardous materials, fuels is also necessary. Proper communication is key factor in minimizing the
accidents on site.
Safety of all working personnel will be the utmost priority of the lessee. Lessee will provide all the
site personnel with necessary PPE like, hard hats, safety goggles, earplugs, dust masks etc.
To meet any kind of emergency, readiness to shift the injured to the nearest hospital is necessary.
All mining personnel should be aware of the nearest health centers and hospitals. All managing
personnel will take the responsibility of taking the injured immediately to the hospital in case of any
accident. A few of the site personnel should be provided first aid training besides the presence of a
well-maintained first aid kit.
Chittoor is at a distance of 28 km from the lease area, which has all kind of healthcare facilities
starting from primary health care to corporate hospitals. In case of emergency state government’s
24

8.5. Care and maintenance during temporary discontinuance:
An emergency plan to deal with the situation of temporary discontinuance or incomplete
programme due to court order / due to statutory requirements or any other unforeseen
circumstance will be drawn by the technical and managerial person to suit the specific situation of
this mine. This would be reviewed and modified to suit the changing conditions and needs. This
would take care of preventing of access to dangerous places, pits and prevent accidental fall in to
the water logged pit of animals and men. Security is also to be looked in to the safety measures
placed at various places like firefighting equipment, main switches etc. Security to be deployed at
Explosive storage.
The mining is yet to commence. As mining continues till then the question of discontinuance does
not arise. However, any untoward incidence happens the safety of the mining area will not be
disturbed. Security / Watchmen will be posted at the mine site for watch and ward.
8.6. Financial Assurance:
Financial assurance can be submitted in any encashable from preferably a bank guarantee from a
Scheduled Bank at the rates equivalent to rates prescribed as per the amendment Rule 27 (1) of
Mineral Conservation Development Rules, 2017 for next 5 years period expiring at the end of
