1. GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION

a. Physiography

i. Topography:

The applied quarry lease area belongs to hilly terrain and it covers part of the hill portion on

Northern side. Due to hilly terrain, the applied area is elevated on southern part and sloping

towards north and east. The applied area is raising to a height of 42 m from normal ground level

between the RLs of 270 m maximum on South Eastern part and 228 m MS on Northern part.

There is a maximum relief of 42 m towards N from top of the hillock. The hilltop is covered by soil

zone covered with boulders underlain by granite sheet rock formation and the slopes of the area

are covered by the boulders. The bifurcated dolerite dykes intrusions trending NE to SW direction

in the lease area.

ii. Drainage Pattern:

The drainage pattern of the Quarry Lease environs is sub dendritic in nature. No perennial

streams observed within the Quarry Lease area. One nala is passing west to east in the quarry

lease area in which rain water will flow on rainy season. One tank existing on the northern part of

the quarry lease area of about 500 m distance.

iii. Vegetation

There is no vegetation within Quarry Lease area..

iv. Climate:

The climate is tropical with temperatures raging form 340 C to 420 C in summer and 150 C to 250 C

in the winter. The normal annual rainfall is about 800 mm.

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.

Road metal and Building stone is not failing in any category of UNFC classification. It is a localized

mineral available, spatially utilized for construction purpose such as laying of roads, construction

of buildings etc., depending upon the characteristics of the rock. Granite, Dolerite and Dolomite

Limestone etc., which are mostly fractured and disturbed which are not useful for any other

specific purpose of their characteristics in specified area are useful for construction as road metal

and building stone locally.

ii. Parameter – Grade, Threshold Value, Sectional Area And Bulk Density: As the ROM is

intended for use in the Road Metal and Building Stone, no specific parameters considered. The

bulk density of Granite was considered at 2.5 to estimate the reserves.

iii. Status of Exploration: G1

b. GEOLOGICAL AXIS

Geological map including all surface Geological features, extent of deposit, structures, have been

prepared on 1:1,000 scale with 3.0 contour interval duly marked with surface geological features,

ABM etc., and presented on Plate-3.

iii.Topo Grid / Triangulation Stations: The topo grid with Geological cross-sections has been

prepared on 1:1,000 scale showing litho-units. Relevant plans are enclosed as Plate- 3A.

2. Geochemical Survey: Geo-Chemical survey is not warranted as the deposit is used for Road

Metal & Building stone purpose only.

3. Geophysical Survey: Not carried out.

10

4. Technological Survey:

a. Detailed topographical and geological survey was carried out on 1:1,000 scale showing all the

surface features, contours at 3.0 m interval, the lease boundary, surface Geology & Structural

features.

b. The maximum thickness of Road metal & Building stone above the existing ground level is

about nearly 42 m, with RL in between 270 m – 228 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 6.0 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 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 supplied to the crusher industries. No processing

is required excepting sizing manually.

Quarrying operations will be carried out by deploying the following machinery:

iv. Infrastructure: The necessary infrastructure of site services such as office, rest shelter,

magazine, explosive van, water tankers, power connection etc., will be provided at the Southern

part of the quarry lease, once the mining plan is approved. The QL area is connected with well-

built asphalt roads to the Mandal and District headquarters.

v. Costing: The cost of production of Road Metal & Building Stone works out to be approximately

Rs. 250/- per ton.

vi. Marketing: ROM generated from this quarry is proposed for captive purpose for the crusher

and hot mix plant intended to put for use in the highway road project from Banglore to Chennai for

the first three years. Later the lessee intends to continue selling the Road Metal and Building stone

for various civil projects in and around Chandragiri and Tirupathi town.

vii. Economic Viability: As the proposed quarry lease is in the near vicinity and quarrying of road

metal is definitely economic and viable.

viii. Other Factors: Relevant clearances shall be obtained for continuing the mining operations in

the QL area.

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:

12

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 is 10 mts

and UPL IS 24 mts in the Northern portion of the QL area during the end of first fifth year of this

Mining Plan 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’ and C-C’ were

taken at 100 m. The occurrence of the Granite is probably more than 42 m above existing above

ground level. Based on the field traverses, the estimated reserves considered as Proved

Reserves, Three cross-sections A-A’, B-B’ and 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 rising to a height of more than 42 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 6.0 m height from higher levels to lower levels. It is proposed to raise about 3, 56,868

tons ROM during the five years 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 75,130 m3 or 187,825 tons on an average per year from

this quarry. The granite sheet rock is exposed as a hillock to a height of 42 m 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 in which

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

going to erected within the lease area on the Northern part of the lease area. The ROM will be

15

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 residual period is estimated at

1,50,260 m3 from which intended ROM of 3,75,650 tons of Road Metal and Building Stone will be

mined out by open cast mechanised method by forming benches of 6.0m each and 7.5m buffer

zone. The year-wise details are presented below:

not be removed unless it has been thoroughly wetted with water.

g. Conceptual Mining Plan:

i. Details of the conceptual status of pits: The lease period is for 15 years ending in April 2019.

Thus, the present period of five years block ends in 2018-19. By the end of the first five years plan

of residual period, total of 3,56,868 tons of ROM is planned for production. The planned total depth

of the quarry would be 24 m.

ii, The worked out pit as a whole will occupy an area of 22,599 m2 to a depth of 12 m from the

existing FRL 270 m of the worked out pit. The area occupied by internal roads would be 765 m2,

while plantation would be occupying an area of 2,157 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 –

6.

h. UNDERGR GROUND MINING N.A.

3. MINE DRAINAGE: a. Minimum and Maximum Depth of Water Table: The QL area is a

hillock with a maximum height of 42 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

270 m to 248 m MSL. After first five year plan of residual period production, the maximum and

minimum depth of workings reached level of 270 m to 258 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 24.0 m and the GWL is at 30-35m below the existing GL. Hence, need for

pumping does not arise. Quality of GW tested from the surroundings is found to be potable.

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, 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.

5. USE OF MINERAL AND MINERAL REJECT

The ROM will be fed to the crusher outside the QL area where it will be crushed to desired sizes.

Different grades of output from the crusher will be primarily used in the construction of Banglore-

Chennai Highway road for the duration of 2 years. Later the material will be sold in the market for

various civil works in and around Tirupathi town.

6. PROCESSING OF ROM AND MINERAL REJECT

ROM will be fed to the crusher to obtain different sized aggregates required for road construction

and input to hot mix plant.

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 22,599 m2 will be

excavated to a depth of 12 m on an average to win the mineral. An area of 2,157 m2 is proposed

for afforestation. The QL area is a barren land and surrounding lands are also are wastelands. In

the north, south and eastern part, exists an agricultural land. Four quarry leases existing on south,

east and west of quarry lease area..Environmental Plan on a scale of 1:5000 is enclosed asPlate-

5.

b. Human Settlements: Within a radius of 5km of QL area exists 20 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 22,599 m2 will be

degraded for the working pit. In addition, an area of 765 m2will be used for internal roads of the

quarry. Plantation will occupy 2,157 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 pond

at about 300m existing towards south east of 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 Reddivaripalli village which is 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.

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 18 m lower than the lowest elevation of the existing ground in the

QL area i.e., level 246 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.

22

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, archaeological 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 period. The

mineral reserves exist further deeper than the UPL 24 m 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

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 centres 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.

Tirupathi is at a distance of 15 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

108 service is available. Apart from this one additional pick up with driver will always be available

to meet with emergency situation.

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

validity of the document.

The proposed quarrying operations are by Open Cast other than fully mechanized method of

quarrying and by jack hammer drilling and blasting and hence the cost of reclamation &
