2.2 Brief Information about the Project

The mining lease area of 1.850 ha is located in Patta Land of Gangipally Village, Manakondur Mandal, Karimnagar District, Telangana. It has been proposed to produce approximately 2,541.00 m3/ annum of Colour Granite. Mining: The mining operations are proposed to be carried out by opencast-mechanized method. Colour granite is exposed on the surface.

2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region

Indian granite has a good market value in the world. Granite is an igneous, magma-formed rock that is generally made up of quartz, feldspar and mica. These minerals combine in varying

Page 25: M/s. MADHURA MINESenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/TOR/0_0...Shamshabad Airport is about 150 km due SW from lease area. 11. Nearest Town, city, district Headquarters

3

percentages that account for the color, veining and crystallization patterns that make each granite deposit unique.

2.4 Demands-Supply Gap

The demand and supply for the color granite is growing which makes a lot of scope for revenue generation. The earth crust is filled with different types of rock which ranges from igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of magma in an exothermic process. Granite popularly known as chippings /gravel is a very hard stone good for building and construction works globally. It is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive felsic, igneous rock. It has a medium to coarse texture occasionally with some individual crystals larger than the groundmass forming a rock known as porphyry. It can be pink to dark gray or even black depending on their chemistry and mineralogy. Granite is a hard, usually grey, stone used for building and the most common rock type on the continental land masses. It is widely distributed throughout the continental crust of the earth and is the most abundant basement rock that underlies the relatively thin sedimentary veneer of the continents.

Its hard nature made it a very suitable and durable material for most Civil Engineering and Construction works. It is used in various ways as in;

Road Construction and Dimensional stones Building of Houses, Bridges and Drainages Manufacture of Marbles and Flooring Tiles Production of cement blocks Interior Decorations Art works (Antiquities) etc.

India is amongst the leading exporter countries of stones in the world. The major importers of Indian stones are USA, China, UK, Italy, Belgium, Germany, UAE, Hong Kong, Spain, Taiwan, Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, France, Russia and CIS countries. The growth is continuing and the demand for marble, granite, sandstone and other dimensional stones and stone products is anticipated to grow at around 15% CAGR.

2.5 Domestic/ Export Markets

Although granite is a minor mineral, it is a major contributor in foreign exchange earnings. India is the second largest exporter of raw granite after China and ahead of Brazil and South Africa.

3.5 Geology and Reserves 3.5.1 Regional Geology Karimnagar and surrounding areas comprise of Granites and Granitic Gneiss of Archean Age.

Pink and Grey Granites, Pink Alkali Feldspar Granites and Gneissic Grano Diorite - Quartz

Diorite with enclaves of Supra - Crystals like Quartzite, Chlorite Schist, Hornblende - Biotite

Schist etc. constitute the Granitoid - Migmatite complex. These Litho units are exhibit various

geomorphic expressions like Domes, Inselbergs, Castle Koppies and Whaleback and Basic Dykes

forms Linear Ridges.

3.5.2 Geology

The area occupied by grained, porphyritic granite exposed as tors and inselbegs, while

porporphyroblastic granite occupying large area, mineralogically consists of quartz and K.

feldspar as essential minerals with sub ordinate minerals like Biotite, Amphibole where as the

pink colour, fine grained, equigranular alaskites showing intrusive relationship with

porphyroblastic granite seen as isolated patches.

Structurally, the porphyritic granite showing poorly developed foliation trending NE

– SE direction and criss crossed by 3 sets of joints.

a) N – S

b) E – W

c) Sheet Joints

While the N – S and E – W trending joints are vertical in nature and widely spaced, where as the

sheet joints are closely spread on the surface that is within 2 – 5m and widely spread in the rock

below ground level.

Colour Granite Deposit

Entire quarry lease area is covered with colour granite which is rising up to 5 M above ground

level trending E – W, the strike length of the deposit in the quarry lease area measured 162 M in

the area with an average width of 114m .

Area is characterized by rugged topography with isolated tors and inselbergs intervened by plain

land.

Porphyroblastic granite with black amphibole a hornblende background with euhedral dark

brown colour K. Feldspars porphyritic crystals commercially called as “Tan Brown” granite and

extensively extracted in and around Bavpet, Gattu Budkur, Nagul Mallial and Kamanpur areas,

around Karimnagar town. Due to aesthetic beauty it has good demand in the international

market. Mineralogically this rock is composed of quartz, plagioclase, microcline, orthoclase

with sub-ordinate amounts of biotitie, hornblende and magnetite etc.

In quarry lease area, porphyroblastic granite occurs as massive exfoliation dome steeply, sloping

in all the directions. It is rising from minimum elevation of MSL 270m to Max elevation of

MSL 275m. It is uniform in mineral assemblage, texture, colour and devoid of major joints,

though few joints present, they are widely spaced with limited lateral extent, along these joints,

large boulders are formed from the domes.

However, due to very coarse grained nature of rock due to K. Feldspar crystals the rock is prone

to weathering. Hence, thick weathered mantle, soil core observed along the western edges of the

rocky outcrops with vegetal cover.

3.5.3 Reserves

As the deposit is exposed in the quarry lease area. The entire visualised deposit is considered as G1 scale of reserves (Proved Reserves) upto 20m below the surface upto RL 150.

15m below Proved Zone and Probable Resources (G2) upto RL 135m are considered.

Since no exploration is carried out in the area and no depth ward resources are to be considered. Hence, category of G3 reserves are not considered as per the UNFC guidelines.

The deposit upto RL 150 is considered as Proved Reserves and deposit below 150 to RL 135 as

Probable Resources

3.6 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS 3.6.1 Method of Mining The Colour Granite in the quarry lease applied area is exposed on the surface with

boulders.(Hence, it is proposed to mine the boulders / sheet by open cast, semi- mechanized

methods, by developing the benches of 3 m height). Wire Saw cutting will be deployed based

on the favourable conditions. The development of benches in the sheet rock will be

maintained @ 60° safety slopes.

The separation of blocks from the mother rock will be carried out by drilling, wedge cutting,

blasting , excavation will be done by the machinery.

The secondary splitting, dressing of blocks will be done manually. Therefore, mining

operations to be carried out in this area in 2 stages.

1) Development

2) Production

Stage – 1

The removal of weathered and under sized boulders will be cleared in the quarry lease

applied area for the next five years by using excavator

The Sheet that is exposed will be subjected to drilling, blasting and splitting from mother

rock.

Rock Splitting/ Wedging :

Thus 20' x 20' to 40' x 20' to 40' mass will be separated from mother rock. Then horizontal

hole will be drilled at the bottom of the bench, by wedging or blasting with water cartridge

and cardex fuse, bottom separation will be achieved

Splitting the Mass :

For splitting the mass from mother rock the line drilling and wedging method is in use; with

Jack Hammers and this waste will be dumped at dumping yard using tipper.

Stage-2

After removal of weathered and under sized boulders.

• The large boulders will be subjected to splitting into required sizes of blocks by using

Jack Hammers by drilling series of deep holes at right angles at regular intervals,

later by inserting feather and wedges in these holes and hammering with

sledgehammer will release the blocks.

• The burnercutters will be deployed for shaping the boulders

• The boulders will be splited to the required sizes with drilling and if required by using

chemical compound brought to the dressing yard for dressing.

• If the boulderswhich fit into the required market grade size will be transformed

intocuboids.

Secondary Splitting:

After separation from the mother rock, it is properly checked by washing with water to

identify defect and cracks. Based on this observation, the size is decided and the blocks are

marked and separated by drilling and wedging.

The separated pieces will be examined for defects and lines, then the block or blocks are

marked in ear area and holes are drilled along the line of marking, with the help of feathers

and wedges the waste portions are separated forming a rectangular blocks. Any bulges will be

removed by drilling and wedging making it perfect blocks. A perfect block is that all the

sides shall make with each other 90°.

Dressing:

1. Dressing of dimensional rough blocks for export :

Dressing is final phase of mining operation, wherein the secondary rough blocks are

squared into regular perfect rectangular sizes, thereby avoiding uneven bulge or

cavities and other defects. Jackhammers with compressor, feather end wedges and

sledgehammers are equipment's generally used for dressing the block.

2. Dressingof rough blocks for domestic processing plant :

Dressing by means of squaring and splitting will be done for rough blocks of the size

varying between 120 x 90 x 80 to 300 x 200 x 190 m.

3. Description of granite processing plant :

The company does not possess processing plant.

Drilling & Blasting

A) Drill hole pattern for smooth blasting, holes of 3 m depth will be drilled in a single

rowwith spacing of less than 0.3 m and burden of 1.6 m or more shall be maintained

uniformly. This arrangement will yield rock size of 3 m x 2 m cross section. A bench height

of 3.5 m will be tackled.

B) Drilling Paramaters :

i) Drill Hole Diameter 32 mm up to 3 m Long.

ii) Depth and Inclination of Drill Hole : Generally drilled vertically in an alignment,

however in primary cutting in the absence of sheet joints to develop bottom level

horizontal hole also are drilled.

iii) Spacing and Burden

The spacing shell be about 0.1 M to 0.3 m from hole to hole and burden goes up to

1.6m for the splitting of the rock.

iv) Stemming & Charging of Bore Hole

Gun Powder is used. The blast hole will be charged with 150 Gr. of explosives by

stemming with smooth strand.

v) Explosive Type

Wherever required gunpowder is used for splitting the rock.

3.3 Geology of the area The area occupied by grained, porphyritic granite exposed as tors and inselbegs, while porporphyroblastic granite occupying large area, mineralogically consists of quartz and K. feldspar as essential minerals with sub ordinate minerals like Biotite, Amphibole where as the pink colour, fine grained, equigranular alaskites showing intrusive relationship with porphyroblastic granite seen as isolated patches. Structurally, the porphyritic granite showing poorly developed foliation trending NE – SE direction and criss crossed by 3 sets of joints. a) N – S

b) E – W

c) Sheet Joints

While the N – S and E – W trending joints are vertical in nature and widely spaced, where as the sheet joints are closely spread on the surface that is within 2 – 5 Mtrs and widely spread in the rock below ground level. COLOUR GRANITE DEPOSIT Entire quarry lease area is covered with colour granite which is rising up to 5 M above ground level trending E – W, the strike length of the deposit in the quarry lease area measured 162 M in the area with an average width of 114 M. Area is characterized by rugged topography with isolated tors and inselbergs intervened by plain land.

Porphyroblastic granite with black amphibole a hornblende background with euhedral dark brown colour K. Feldspars porphyritic crystals commercially called as “Tan Brown” granite and extensively extracted in and around Bavpet, Gattu Budkur, Nagul Mallial and Kamanpur areas, around Karimnagar town. Due to aesthetic beauty it has good demand in the international market. Mineralogically this rock is composed of quartz, plagioclase, microcline, orthoclase with sub-ordinate amounts of biotitie, hornblende and magnetite etc. In quarry lease area, porphyroblastic granite occurs as massive exfoliation dome steeply, sloping in all the directions. It is rising from minimum elevation of MSL 270 Mt to Max elevation of MSL 275 Mt. It is uniform in mineral assemblage, texture, colour and devoid of major joints, though few joints present, they are widely spaced with limited lateral extent, along these joints, large boulders are formed from the domes. However, due to very coarse grained nature of rock due to K. Feldspar crystals the rock is prone to weathering. Hence, thick weathered mantle, soil core observed along the western edges of the rocky outcrops with vegetal cover.

5.0 RESERVES Geological traverses in the quarry and the study exposures in the quarry facilitated to access the shape and size of the deposit in the area. It is a mound deposit rising 5 M above ground level. The surface of sheet rock is wavy and irregular.

5.1 Method of Estimation of Reserves

The exposed granite deposit is found to be irregular in shape, the volume of the deposit is computed by cross sectional area method by multiplying the cross sectional area with cross sectional influence. The cross sections were drawn perpendicular to the strike direction, the cross sectional area of the individual sections are calculated to arrive at sectional area, the area thus arrived is multiplied by the sectional influence of 30 M (Average) to arrive the volume of rock mass. In absence of exploration by boreholes and with pit depth of 8 M it is anticipated that proved reserves exist upto 20 M BGL (i.e. RL 150). 15 M below the proved reserves and probable resources are estimated upto RL 135. Since the recovery of the marketable blocks and tiles in the quarry areas is around 25% rough blocks. The same recovery percentage is considered for extracting the dimensional stones. The cross sections in E – W direction are drawn at equal interval of 30 M. 4 Cross Sections A-A1 – D-D1 were drawn. Section A – A1 Drawn 7 M south of northern border of the quarry lease area in E – W direction with length of 145 M. The lowest contour is 272 M and the maximum height attained is 275 M. The cross section is prepared to a base line of RL 135 (Upto 150 Proved and Probable upto 135). Proved The sectional area is multiplied by the sectional influence of 27 M (15 influence on South and 17 M due North of the section line). The sectional area arrived is 3,134.00 M2 is multiplied by sectional area of 27 M. A total volume of 84,618.00 M3 of Rock Mass is estimated. It is proved that the recovery % @ 25% from this quarry i.e. 21,154.50 M3.

Probable The sectional area is multiplied by the sectional influence of 27 M (15 influence on South and 17 M due North of the section line). The sectional area arrived is 2,700.00 M2 is multiplied by sectional area of 27 M. A total volume of 72,900.00 M3 of Rock Mass is estimated. It is probable that the recovery % @ 25% from this quarry i.e. 18,225.00 M3.

6.0 MINING

“There are no public buildings, places of importance and historical monuments. However, the lessee will conduct the quarry operations duly adopting the restrictions regarding the safety measures as per the regulations 109 & 127 of Metalliferrous Mines Regulations ‘1961”. The lessee will adopt the latest mining techniques and machinery such as Wire-Saw cutting machinery for extracting the dimensional stones.

6.1 Method of Mining (Open Cast other than fully Mechanized / Semi Mechanized)

The Colour Granite in the quarry lease area is exposed on the surface with boulders. (Hence, it is proposed to mine the boulders / sheet by open cast, semi-mechanized methods, by developing the benches of 6 M height in 2 phases of 3 M each). Wire Saw cutting will be deployed based on the favourable conditions. The development of benches in the sheet rock will be maintained @ 60o safety slopes. The separation of blocks from the mother rock will be carried out by drilling, wedge cutting, blasting, excavation will be done by the machinery. The secondary splitting, dressing of blocks will be done manually. Therefore, mining operations are to be carried out in this area in 2 stages.

1) Development

2) Production Stage - 1 The removal of weathered and under sized boulders will be cleared in the quarry lease area for the next five years by using excavator. The sheet exposed will be subjected to drilling, blasting and splitting from mother rock

18

Page 71: M/s. MADHURA MINESenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/TOR/0_0...Shamshabad Airport is about 150 km due SW from lease area. 11. Nearest Town, city, district Headquarters

Rock Splitting / Wedging :

Thus 20’ x 20’ to 40’ x 20’ to 40’ mass will be separated from mother rock. Then horizontal holes will be drilled at the bottom of the bench, by wedging or blasting with water cartridges and cardex fuse, bottom separation will be achieved. Splitting the Mass : For splitting the mass from mother rock, the line drilling and wedging method is in use; with Jack Hammers and this waste will be dumped at dumping yard using tipper. Stage - 2 After removal of weathered and under sized boulders. • The large boulders will be subjected to splitting into required sizes of blocks by

using Jack Hammers by drilling series of deep holes at right angles at regular intervals, later by inserting feather and wedges in these holes and hammering with sledge hammer will release the blocks.

• The burner cutters will be deployed for shaping the boulders.

• The boulders will be splitted to the required sizes with drilling and if required by using chemical compound at the source only. The boulders separated will be brought to the dressing yard for dressing.

• If the boulders, which fit into the required market grade size will be transformed into cuboids.

Secondary Splitting : After separation from the mother rock, it is properly checked by washing with water to identify defects and cracks. Based on this observation, the size is decided and the blocks are marked and separated by drilling and wedging. The separated pieces will be examined for defects and lines, then the block or blocks are marked in clear area and holes are drilled along the line of marking, with the help of feathers and wedges and the waste portions are separated forming a rectangular blocks. Any bulges will be removed by drilling and wedging making it perfect blocks. A perfect block is that all the sides shall make with each other 900.

6.2 Dressing

i) Dressing of dimensional rough blocks for export : Dressing is final phase of mining operation, wherein the secondary rough blocks are squared into regular perfect rectangular sizes, thereby avoiding uneven bulge or cavities and other defects. Jackhammers with compressor, feather end wedges and sledgehammers are equipments generally used for dressing the block.

ii) Dressing of rough blocks for domestic processing plant : Dressing by means of squaring and splitting will be done for rough blocks of the size varying between 120 x 90 x 80 and 300 x 200 x 190 M.

i) Description of granite processing plant : The lessee company does not possess processing plant.

6.3 Drilling & Blasting

A) Drill hole pattern for smooth blasting, holes of 3 M depth will be drilled in a single

row with spacing of less than 0.3 M and burden of 1.6 M or more shall be maintained uniformly. This arrangement will yield rock size of 3 M x 2 M cross section. A bench height of 3.5 M will be tackled.

B) Drilling Parameters :

i) Drill Hole Diameter 32 MM up to 3 M Long.

ii) Depth and Inclination of Drill Hole : Generally drilled vertically in an alignment, however in primary cutting in the absence of sheet joints to develop bottom level, horizontal holes also are drilled.

iii) Spacing and Burden

The spacing shall be about 0.1 M to 0.3 M from hole to hole and burden goes up to 1.6 M for the splitting of the rock.

iv) Stemming & Charging of Bore Hole

Gun Powder is used. The blast hole will be charged with 150 Grams of explosives by stemming with smooth strand.

v) Explosive Type

Wherever required gunpowder is used for splitting the rock.

iv) Utilisation of Waste if not Prevented

• Soil can be utilised for reclamation of degraded area.

• Weathered rock if it is sufficiently soft and devoid of rock fragments can be utilised for roads, filling of road side ditches, formation of approach roads to quarries, construction works etc.

• Large and medium sized waste rock can be used as revetment for deep cut stream sections from preventing from soil erosion.

• The waste generated during the mining will also be used for back filling of the mine pit after completion of mining.

8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 8.1 Base Line Information i) Existing Land Use Pattern

The quarry lease area is surrounded by hillocks comprising valuable tan brown export quality granite.

The granite industry gained momentum in the district in general, since the last seven to eight years, with supply of several lakhs of cubic metres of granite export to Beijing and Thailand.

Excavation of the precious granite from the village is bringing in additional income to the gram panchayat, besides agriculture is good.

ii) Water Regime The drainage network is due North & East. The quarry lease area is surrounded by numerous water bodies. Kakatiya Canal flows at a distance of 0.50 Km due West of the quarry lease area.

iii) Flora and Fauna

The whole quarry lease area is occupied by scattered sparse vegetation of thorny trees and small bushes. In the quarry lease area no wild animals are witnessed as per the statements collected from the local population, since 50 years.

iv) Quality of Air, Ambient Noise Level and Water

• Air quality is good but at quarries it is filled with dust, due to haulage on the road, blasting etc

• The noise generated mostly due to blasting, drilling, vehicular traffic

• Granite mining will not affect water quality.

8.2 Environmental Impact Assessment 1) Landscape Changes

Granite mining will alter the physiographic scene as a large pit of 5,914.00 M2 with 6 M depth will be formed at the end of plan period. A large dump will be formed to a height of 6 M over an area of 1,870.00 M2 in the SW part of the quarry lease area (Within the quarry lease area).

2) Aesthetic Environment

There is no aesthetic environment prevailing in and around the quarry lease area.

3) Soil and Land Use Pattern

The soil cover is absent in the quarry lease area. Therefore the mining in this area will initiate utility of the land.

4) Agriculture

The quarry lease area is barren land and far away from agricultural lands. Therefore there is no adverse affect on agriculture.

5) Forest

The quarry lease area is not coming under forest zone. However, the lessee is proposing to undertake afforestation in the area.

6) Vegetation

The quarry lease area is barren hill with an exception of small shrubs, herbs and Thorny bushes grown along the interspaces of boulders and joints where some soil exists.

7) Water Environment

The water environment will not be disturbed as the quarry is far off from the water courses.

8) Air Quality

Air quality is good but at quarries it is filled with dust, due to haulage on the road, blasting etc. but it will be within the permissible limits by sprinkling water on roads and covering the drill rods with cloth. Air quality will not be disturbed, as the quarrying is very limited.

AIR QUALITY

Base Level Allowable Level

SPM = 140μg/m3 360μg/m3

RSPM = 60μg/m3 120μg/m3

SO2 = 40μg/m3 80μg/m3

NO2 = 40μg/m3 80μg/m3

CO = 1.0μg/m3 5.0μg/m3

Air quality is good but at quarries it is filled with dust, due to haulage on the road, blasting etc., but it will be within the permissible limits by adopting the following:

• The dust rising due to drilling will be controlled by covering the drill rods with

cloth, dust extractors will also be employed.

• Dust suppression on haul road with sprinkling of water with chemical additives.

• Proper functioning of dust suppression arrangements in the equipment 9) No water course is passing through the area excepting run off streams during

monsoon.

The mining of granite, no adverse affect is anticipated on the water regime of the area.

10) Noise Levels The blasting and the haulage and the drilling of boreholes generate noise. However, the probable noise level will be within the permissible limits and will not cause harm. The lessee will provide suitable protective gear to the workers for minimizing the noise pollution and the machinery will be well maintained.

The noise levels for various activities are

1. Compressor - 84 to 98 dB(A) 2. Tipper Empty - 88 to 91 dB(A), Tipper Loaded - 95 to103 dB(A) 3. Poclain - 90 to 96 dB(A) 4. Blasting - 89 to 95 dB(A) PERMISSIBLE NOISE EXPOSURE FOR DIFFERENT PERIOD OF TIME IS GIVEN BELOW

The blasting, haulage, machinery and the drilling of drill holes generate Noise. However, the probable noise level will be within the permissible limits with in 100 d B (A) and will not cause harm. • The machinery will be maintained properly to reduce the noise • The protective noise reducing gear like earmuffs, the lessee company will

provide earplugs. • Proper maintenance of equipment

11) Vibration Levels

It is proposed to use low explosives and less quantity to minimise the effects so that the vibration generated will be feeble within 8 Hz.

12) Socio Economic Environment

The quarry lease area is surrounded by 12 villages within a distance of 5 Km. The main occupation of villagers is agriculture and sheep rearing. The commencement of mining activity in this area improved the socio-economic status of the local people by creation of employment and paying taxes to gram panchayath.

13) Occupation Health and Safety The mining in this area does not involve any hazardous methods. The mining is simple and open cast mining method. In this, the possibilities of small injuries is anticipated. This lessee is providing First Aid facilities at quarry site.

8.3 Management Plan 1. Soil Conservation Methods

The fertile soil available will be used for plantation around site services on dumps and all along the road. Soil mixed with boulders is unfertile which will be used for laying roads.

2. Proposed for Reclamation of Land affected by Mining activity during and at

the end of mining Even after 20 years the hill remains except the reduction of elevation and slopes by the pits that will be formed.

3. In case of forest programme for phased compensatory afforestation

The quarry lease area does not come under forest zone.

4. Measures for Dust Suppression

The mining will involve dust rising methods. The dust anticipated during dry seasons, due to haulage will be suppressed by sprinkling water. For this purpose, tractor mounted sprinkler will be deployed. The dust generated during the drilling will be suppressed by covering the drill rods by gunny cloth and dust extractors will also deployed.

5. Measures to minimum use vibrations due to blasting and check noise

pollution No blasting will be taken up in the quarry lease area. The lessee will apply latest techniques for extracting the blocks using wire saw cutting / splitting by chemical compound etc. The mining operations will be restricted to a maximum RL of 150. The noise generated by compressors, drilling & machinery like proclain / excavators and tippers will be high. The workers in the quarry lease area will be provided suitable headgear and noise reducing protective gear (Like Cotton Mufflers etc.). The machinery will be maintained properly for minimizing the noise.

6. Treatment and disposal of water from the mine at beneficiation plant

Granite mines does not require beneficiation.

7. Measures for minimising adverse effect on water regime

The mining is confined to elevated place. Therefore no adverse effect is anticipated to water regime.
