2.5. Regional Geology
Madurai district is comprised of Archaean peninsular gneisses such as Charnockites, Biotite
gneisses, Migmatites and leptinites and are intruded by younger formations like pegmatite
and quartz veins. The peninsular gneiss/migmatite consists of biotite mica, plagioclase,
orthoclase feldspar, quarts and found as sheet rocks running to east-west direction as a
brittle rock formation.
Description Geological Age
Top soil - red (1-2m Thick) - Recent Age
Quartzite and Migmatites - Archaean “
Biotite Gneiss - Archaean complex
Biotite gneiss is the oldest rock followed by quartzite of covered by recent top soil.
2.6 Geology of the Precise Area:
Fig 2.4a Photograph shows general view and b: Photograph shows
float of Quartzite over the gravel Hydrological survey by Resistivity Meter.
The area is composed of sheared and fractured hornblende biotite gneiss and quartzite.
The quartzite is trending NW-SE direction and dip about 800 towards SW. The hornblende-
biotite gneiss measures the degree of metamorphism during the intrusion of Quartz band
and subsequent disturbances. These type of fine grained material is also called as” APLITE”
The recent reddish gravelly soil is partly capping the outcrops and quartzite occur as Float
over the weathered rock with gravel.

MADURAI DISTRICT
3.2. Mining
Open cast method mining shall be adopted to develop this area. The mineral occur as
outcrops and exposed as well as at the surface and hence there is no separate development
work involved except side burden to win the mineral. The rejects and waste are being
removed mechanically Hydraulic excavator, Rock breakers and tippers. As habitations are
occur very nearby it is proposed to mine and remove such waste and minerals by
mechanical means using rock breakers and Rippers.
3.3. Year-wise development/production for the five years
The production period of one year and the generation of waste are described in the year-
wise development/production schedule as tabulated for Quartzite and gravel in Table-VIII.
The waste ratio with reference to the production of Quartzite would be 1:4.6. The
development /production plan is shown in Plate- V and the composite Plan of sections is
given in the Table no

3.4. Method of Mining
3.4.1 Open cast working:
Under Reg.106 (2) (a) of MMR, 1961, the elevated portion shall be gradually removed to a
level ground to make use of this land for residential and commercial purposes. The hard
rock shall be loosened by rock breaker or Ripper. As far as the mining of Minor mineral is
concerned, observance of provisions of the regulations 106 (2) (a) as above is seldom due
to various inherent petro genetic and mining difficulties.

source at different distances in all accessible directions. As no mining activity is carried
out, it is found that Noise level is within permissible limits as prescribed by CPCB
standards. The maximum noise levels were due to the movement of vehicles in highway
nearby the site. At operational phase also there will be not much increase in noise level as
there is no activity of drilling and blasting.
4.3.2 VIBRATION
The monitoring of vibration has been carried out using Mini Digital Seismograph. It is a
microprocessor based unit, consists of a geophone to monitor ground vibration and
microphone to monitor air overpressure, which can be connected from the external port.
The event analysis and documentation can be done with the help of White Software
program. The record provides complete documentation of the events, full wave form and
frequency spectrum. The instrument records the level of vibration in terms of peak particle
velocities in the three orthogonal directions (radial, transverse and longitudinal), time of
occurrence, peak displacement (mm), peak acceleration in terms of “g”, peak sound
pressure in terms of Pa and dB.

The results of anticipated vibration are given below in Fig. 2.4 (a-d). It is found from the
result that the anticipated vibration is well within the permissible standards as The
maximum Peak Particle Velocity was found to be 2.540 in/sec due to the movement of
vehicles in highway nearby the site which is also within limits. The proposed quarry does
not involve any drilling and blasting during operational phase, hence vibration may not be
a concern in future. However vibration monitoring may be done at frequent interval in
case of any report or observation while using heavy machineries.
