a. Briefly describe the existing / proposed method for developing / working
the deposit with all design parameters:
The Granitic Gneisses are in the form of massive sheets with sheet joints in nature.
The quarrying in the lease area is semi-mechanized open cast method. The
technical parameters like surface topography, quality variations, and geotechnical
aspects are considered for production and extraction of building material in the
area. It is proposed to work the deposit by adopting benches formation with
20
ultimate pit slope of 600. Wagon drilling is required for mild blasting to break the
hard sheet rock. The bench height and the width will be maintained as specified by
D.G.M.S. The width of the working benches shall not be less than the height. Year

e. Indicate proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed, and
the expected life of the mine and the year from which effected:
(i). Proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed: It is proposed
to produce an average 120058 tons / annum when the quarry is fully developed
(ii). Mineable reserves: Though the reserves are quite attractive, the mineable
reserves will be reduced due to formation of benches towards boundary line, this
can be solved by having suitable arrangements with adjacent land owner for full
exploitation of the reserves, meanwhile the reserves have been blocked in 7.5
meters safety barrier below the ground level.
Total Mineable reserves:
Total Geological Reserves - Mineable reserves= Non Mineable Reserves
(in Cum).
663600 – 635964 = 27636 Cum.
(iii) Anticipated life of the Mine: the quantities of mineable reserves estimated are
total reserves minus non mineable reserves and already extracted, considered as
(economical) marketable reserves. The mineable reserves of 1570831 Tons are
available in the lease area. The average annual production is 120058 Tons and thus
the life of the mine is 13 years.
f. Attach a note furnishing a conceptual mining plan for the entire lease
period (for “B” category mines) and up to the life of the (for “A”
category mines) based on the geological, mining and environmental
considerations: The Granitic gneiss as building stone deposit in the quarry
area is envisaged to be worked by forming mining benches of 6 meters height
22
from the ground level and the width shall me more than the height of the
benches with a general pit slope of 60o. The ultimate pit limit is marked as
shown on the quarry Closure Plan (Plate- 9). However, when the granitic
gneiss deposit is proved to full depth, the closure plan will be modified. The
quarrying is proposed to be taken with the full capacity of development and
production of on an average of about 120058 Tons per annum, during the
proposed closure plan period. Any modifications in the in the quantity of
production will be intimated to Department of Mines and Geology. The
mined out pits after extraction of the building material, will be reclaimed by
suitable reclamation and afforestration techniques and also by back filling the
pits by the overburden. The design and layout of the quarry benches is shown
on the above referred plan. During the closure plan period, the anticipated
production for the next 5 years period shall be 600292 Tons.
g. Open Cast Mines:
(i). Describe briefly giving salient features of the mode of working
(mechanized, semi-mechanized, manual): The extraction of building
material proposed to be worked by semi-mechanized method of working. In
view of the prepared quarry plan production of building stone material, it is
planned to operate by deploying machineries for development and
production, the separation of building stone material based on physical
parameters manually with conventional tools like crowbars, hammers,
pickaxe etc. and mechanically using drilling equipment’s, tippers will be
used for quarrying work. The parameters will thus the bench height of about
3 m and width is more than height of bench and jackhammer drilling carried
with dust proof drilling machineries. As proposed above, the development of
latest mechanization plays a very important role in the development quarry
and production program. The quarrying operation in notified area planned to
be of open cast and semi-mechanized. The recovery of building stone is
23
generally high i.e. more than 95%. It requires machinery for increased
production.
(ii) Describe briefly the layout of the mine workings, the layout of the
faces and sites for disposal of overburden/ waste: A reference to the plan
enclosed under 4 (b) and 4 (d) will suffice: During the plan period the
development and production will be carried out as shown in the 5 years
production and development plan Plate 5. The quarrying is done manually
and semi-mechanized (open cast method). During the development and
production program for the plan period it is proposed to produce 2306189
tons of saleable quantity.

ii. Water regime: There are no perennial water sources in around the applied
area within 500 meters radius. Since the lease area is moderate to steeply
sloping, the rain water drains through the surface area and joins to seasonal
water course outside the lease area.
iii. Flora and fauna: There are bushy thorny plants in the surrounding area. This
area is surrounded by villages and quarries hence there are no chances of wild
animals in the area. Only few species of thorny bushes, shrubs and few trees
are grown in the area. Pigeons, sparrows, Crows and Minas found in the area,
31
rarely deer’s, rabbits fox etc. are seen which are highly mobile. Apart from
this no other faunal habitat is observed in the area.
iv. Quality of Ambient Air, Noise level and Water: The quality of air and
water has not been studied in the area or around the area. Presently there are
no quarries surrounding this area under quarrying operations and there are no
other industries. As there are no other activities, generation of dust /noise at
present is within the limits prescribed by CPCB.
v. Climatic conditions: The area has a tropical climate. The peak summer will
be in the month of April and May, highest temperature will be about 390 C
will be during this season and the lowest temperature was recorded of about
140 C during the months of November and December. During previous years
the rainfall in this area was recorded about 715 mm.
iv. Human Settlements: The proposed quarry area is situated about 0.65 Km.
North West of Kanthevaderahalli Village revenue village, about 0.90 Km.
east of Vajjanahalli Village, about 0.63 Km. South East of Nayakanapalya
Village, about 1.4 Km. North of Seethakallu Village and about 4.00 Km.
South west of Kolalu Village which is a Hobli Headquarter. The area is
connected by MDR road Dabespet-Doddaballapur SH via Nidavanda-
Sitakallu-Kolalu-Koratagere MDR. The area is connected by private road to
Kanthevaderahalli village to MDR road; the quarry area is located 22.00 Km
South of Koratagere Town which is a taluk and district headquarter where all
the welfare amenities are available.
vii. Public Buildings, places of Worship and Monument: There are no public
Buildings, places of Monuments within or nearby the area.
32
viii. Does area (partly or fully) fall under notified area under water
(prevention and control of pollution) Act. 1974: Yes the applied area falls
under Water Act 1974. The applicant will take up necessary precautions for
control of pollution of water sources.
(b). ATTACH AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

ii. Air Quality: The mining operations will be by the manual method. The
workforce will expose to the air is due to dust which gets air borne due to
vehicular movements and dumping only.
iii. Water Quality: During rainy season silt is likely to get mixed with rain
water and flow to the seasonal nala flowing through the area. There are no
toxic elements discharges into the drains from the mining operations.
33
iv. Noise level: The area is more than 150 M. from the village roads where the
traffic is very low. The mining digging and traffic are the causes of
increasing noise level.
v. Water regime: As the area is a raising ground, there is no danger envisaged
to water regime by this quarry area.
vi. Socio Economics: The main occupation of the surrounding people is
agriculture and allied activities, the mining activity in this belt will benefit
to the local people both directly and indirectly. The direct beneficiaries will
be those who get employed in the quarry as skilled and un-skilled workers.
The indirect beneficiaries will be those who open small business to sell
goods required by the residents whose “per capita” income will be enhance
by the mining activity, and thereby their purchasing power. In the long run a
lot of social goods is expected in the comparatively backward area when the
inhabitant will be sent their children to school.
vii. Historical Monuments: There are no historical monuments in or around
the area and hence there will be no impact due to mining. Because of small
scale mining there will be no effect.
C. ATTACH AN ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (SUPPORTED
BY APPROPRIATE PLANS AND SECTIONS) DEFINING THE TIME
BOUND ACTION PROPOSED TO BE TAKEN WITH SEQUENCE AND
TIMING IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS (OR DIAGRAMS SHOULD BE
USED)
i. Temporary storage and utilization of top soil: The soil generated is mixed
with pebbles etc. can be used for road maintenance. The soil useful for
agriculture, afforestration, trenches, whenever excavated will be stored
separately in the yard identified within the lease hold to height of maximum
of 0.06 M to keep their microbial activities safe.
34
ii. Year wise proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining activities
during the 1st to 5 years: No reclamation is proposed in this plan period
because the mining will be continued further depths from present pit bottom.
iii. Program of afforestration. Year wise for the initial five years: It is
proposed to develop a green belt in proportion of the non-mineralized area
and 7.5 m. buffer zone of the lease boundary. In addition, the place around
the haul road and backfilling area shall have plantation at the conceptual
period. Every year it is proposed to carry out afforestration over 0.054Ha.
by planting 500 saplings per annum around the quarry area. The species
chosen for green belt are fast growing good canopy and dense leaf density,
eco-friendly commercial/ species and some ornamental plants to give good
aesthetic.
The Total area of survey No. 16 is Government Kharab Land over an extent of 79
Acres part of which has been sanctioned to quarrying and poor households by the
Revenue Department. The remaining area is having thin soil cover with rock out
crops. The Plantation will be taken up in the vacant waste land followed by
trenching and earthen bunding.
For the plantation the saplings were procured from Karnataka Forest Department
Nursery, Koratagere and plantation will be carried out every year.
The Activities to be carried out under CSR Activities are as follows.
· Plantation in the School and Gram Panchayath Premises at nearby villages.
· Road side plantation along the approach road to the quarry and maintenance.
· Group insurance to workers and staff.
· Health insurance long term employers working in quarry and crusher.
· Medical check of work force once in 3 months and keeping the records.
The Budget for next five i.e. for plan period is shown in the Table below.
iv. Stabilization and Vegetation of dumps: There is no generation of
overburden / waste in the proposal plan period. Hence, there is no need of
stabilization of the dumps.
35
v. Measures to control erosion/ sedimentation of water courses: There is no
surface erosion in the subject area because the surface area is exposed by the
granite.
vi. Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Since there are no mine
waters or ground waters, the proposal of pumping out or any sort of treatment
and disposal of water from the quarry does not arise.
vii. Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: No adverse
effects are anticipated on water regime.
viii. Protective measures from ground vibrations / air blast caused by
blasting: There will be drilling and blasting is proposed in this area.
ix. Measures for protecting historical monuments and rehabilitation of
human settlements: There are no historical monuments are located close by
and hence need for protection does not arise.
x. Socioeconomic benefits arising out of mining: Few labors will get
employment and the state Government and Village Panchayath will get
royalty due to mining activity.

3.0 RESERVES: Please refer para No. 3 e (i) (ii) (iii) page No. 9 to 10
3.1 Mining Method: Please refer para No. 4 (b) page No. 12 to 14.
3.2 Mineral beneficiation: There is no mineral beneficiation. Man power will be
used for producing material. The question of tailing from the tailing ponds
does not arise. Only the material removed from the quarry will be transported
from the quarry to the respective stock yard, destination.
3.3 Review of Implementation of Mining Plan/ Scheme including five years
progressive closure Plan up to the final closure of the mine: The various
proposals made in the approved mining plan for the 5 years period has been
carried out to avoid environmental problems in the area.
3.4 Abstract of the proposals for Protecting of Environment:
Temporary storage and Utilization of Top soil: The soil generated is mixed
with pebbles etc., can be used for road maintenance. The soil useful for
agriculture, afforestration and trenches, whenever excavated will be stored
separately in the yard identified within the leasehold to a height of Maximum
0.5 M to keep their microbial activities safe.
3.5 Quarrying and allied activities: As per the proposed production and
development plan for plan period area for quarrying 0.8640 Ha, Mineral
storage area is 0.02 Ha. The Green belt around the lease area is about 0.2700
Ha.
3.6 Year wise proposal for Reclamation: Since Granite deposits are likely to
continue, concurrent reclamation is not feasible and after working pits are
40
exhausted, than concurrent backfilling will be proposed. The mined out areas
as shown in the relevant year wise production and development plans will be
not matured enough for reclamation. Hence, the backfilling on worked out pits
for reclamation program is not envisaged presently. Suitable afforestration
technique will be adopted for reclamation after winning of the mineral. Proper
fencing will be provided all round in order to prevent accidental falling of
animals and human trespassing in to the working areas.
3.7 Afforestration program: It is proposed to develop a green belt in portion of
the non-mineralized area and 7.5 M buffer zone of the lease boundary. In
addition, the place around haul road and backfilling area shall have plantation
at the conceptual period. Every year it is proposed to carryout afforestration
over 0.054 Ha. For planting 500 saplings per annum. The species chosen from
green belt are fast growing with good canopy and dense leaf density, eco-
friendly commercial species and some ornamental plants to give good
aesthetic look are shown on Environment Management Plan Plate No.9.
3.8 Stabilization of dumps: There is no generation of overburden / waste in the
proposal plan period. Hence, no need of stabilization of the dumps.
Measures to control erosion / sedimentation of water courses: There is no
surface erosion in the lease area because; the surface area is exposed by the
granite.
Treatment and disposal of water from mine: Since there is no mine water or
ground water, the proposal of pumping out or any sort of treatment and
disposal of water from the quarry does not arise.
Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime: No adverse effects
are anticipated on water regime.
41
Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of the
habitat: There are no historical monuments are located close by and hence
need of protection does not arise.
4.0 CLOSURE PLAN:
4.1 Mined – Out Land:
Reclamation of the area will not be considered during the planned period of 5
years program. In view of the above, reclamation proposed concurrent to
mining and at the end of 5 years without complete extraction of ore available
in the area becomes violation of MCDR. As such the program of reclamation
of mine is not envisaged at this stage.
After complete extraction of estimated reserves the reclamation of area of land
affected by mining activities will be taken up in order to restore to its original
use to the possible extent. The reclamation measures proposed will be back
filling in phased program wherever it is necessary. The deep pits after
completion of mining which could be serving as water ponds will not be
considered for backfilling and will be left as it is after taking necessary
landscaping and providing protective measures in the aspects of safety by
consuming retention wall all along the lease boundary.
The details of the proposed land use are given below:
Type of Land used Extent in Ha. Existing Quarry area 0.8640 Waste dump yard 0.0300 Mineral Stock yard 0.0200 Infrastructure 0.0100 Road 0.0200 Green belt 0.2700 Untouched area - Total 1.2140
42
4.2 Water Quality Management: Water quality is good because there is no
source of pollution due to extraction of building stone material.
4.3 Air Quality Management: Dust generated by this quarry activity is quite
less. The major source of air pollution is due to Wagon Drill drilling activity
and loading of overburden / waste. The management of air quality shall be
by suppression of dust by water sprinkling on haulage roads and wet drilling
methods. Also in the vicinity of the area no major industries are seen and
the deposit is worked on very small scale.
4.4 Noise Level and vibration: No deep drilling and blasting activity involved in
quarrying operations. Only small diameter Wagon drilling is proposed for
wire saw cutting. Protective ear muffs, nose masks and hand glows, safety
shoes etc. are provided to reduce the effect of sound / noise and vibrations
for the drill operations.
4.5 Waste Management: The generation of waste material is very less from the
quarry and the same is utilized for afforestration / backfilling.
4.6 Top Soil Management: The soil likely to be generated will be pebbly soil.
This will be heaped in a maximum height of 0.6 M and used in
afforestration trenches. Grass will be planted to arrest erosion due to wind
action.
4.7 Infrastructure: The applicant will construct temporary structure required to
be maintained under statutory obligations which can be removed once the
work is completed. The approach road to the mine will be made and will be
maintained to meet the requirements of transportation. These are required
for utilization till the end of lease period.
4.8 Disposal of quarrying machinery: There is no proposal of disposal of
mining machineries during the present plan period.
43
5.0 SAFETY AND SECURITY:
The applicant will follow prevailing Mines Act., Karnataka Mines Minerals
Concession Rules & Regulations etc., as well as other directions given to him
time to time by the Directorate General of Mines safety. The applicant will
securely fence the excavated area by barbed wire of 1.5 M height to prevent the
free access and unauthorized people to the quarrying area. The applicant will
appoint security persons to ensure to prevent unauthorized entry on weekly off
days and during the time of discontinuation of quarrying operation.
6.0 DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT:
All the safety measures during the quarrying will be taken as per the norms of
DGM’s. Safety of the men and machine are most important during this
quarrying activity. No danger to public life and property arises as only trucks
ply from quarry site through public road. There are no water impoundments at
higher levels or at lower contours.
7.0 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DUE TO TEMPORARY
DISCONTINUANCE:
The requisite care and maintenance procedures shall be followed during
temporary discontinuance of the quarry. The notice of temporary
discontinuance in prescribe forms shall be submitted to the appropriate
authorities concerned in this regard with details of protection measures being
taken up. Security of the working areas fencing and suitable display boards
shall be put up during the temporary period of discontinuance.
8.0 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE
AND MAN POWER RETRECHMENTS:
8.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of the
continuation family occupation and scope of joining the occupation
back: The locals employed are about 50%. Those who are directly
44
employed, they are basically from agriculture back ground, they will be put
back to their original occupation. Necessary counseling will be taken care.
8.2 Compensation given to be given to the employee connecting with
sustenance of him and their family members: Compensation as provided
in the statue will be given, at the time of final mine / quarry closure to the
eligible persons.
8.3 Satellite occupations connected to the quarrying industry-number of
persons engaged therein-continuation of such business after quarry
closes: Most of the satellite occupations are not fully depending up on the
quarrying activity or closure of mines and the quarrying operations is small
scale. So the occupations like workshops hotel and tea shops will not affect
continuance their business.
8.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of
mining lease area and any other remnant activities: Security and
essential service to the people will continue to be employed for purely
shorter term / temporary basis, where operations are discontinued for longer
period, it is not continue with employment and so there will be reduced to
minimum, counseling will be extended for their rehabilitation.
8.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to
closure of the mine / quarry: There will be effect on their economy,
communication, transportation to some extent, but still these difficulties will
be manageable to large extent. The details will be given in the final mine /
quarry closure plan.
9.0 ABANDONMENT / REHABILITATION COST AND COST
ESTIMATION:
The cost based estimation on the activities required for implementing the
protective and rehabilitation measures including their maintenance and
monitoring program.
45
10.0 TIME SCHEDULE FOR ABANDONMENT:
The present plan prepared is a progressive quarry / Mine Closure Plan
indicating the reclamation and rehabilitation measures being taken up
simultaneously with the quarrying operations. No abandonment of quarrying
activities is envisaged. The man power and other resources for implementing
the protective and rehabilitation measures will be dealt in detail in the quarry
closure plan to be prepared for approval before abandonment of the quarry.
The details of afforestration inside and outside the quarrying lease area,
reclamation and rehabilitation, environmental monitoring details, machinery
performance and socioeconomic impact of quarrying shall be regularly
monitored and furnished to DMG records of the same shall also be maintained.
