activates are air, noise land, water and socio – economic along with the mitigations to the extent possible

are described in the following paragraphs.

9.1 Sources of Pollution and Control measures

The major sources for pollution are air and noise due to proposed mine from loading operation and

transportation of material to the places. However, as the quarrying area is very limited hence dust

generated is very little though the applicant is taking all the precautionary steps for protecting the air

pollution by greater extent of water sprinkling system out the mine lease area.

9.1.1 Air Pollution and its Mitigation

Anticipated Sources of Air Pollution

Digging & Excavation (Dust, Non – fugitive)

Loading & unloading and Transportation by vehicles (fugitive and line sources)

Air Quality Management

Road – Regular repair (every 6 months) and Grading

Regular water sprinkling on haulage roads during dry conditions

Trucks - Avoid overloading of trucks and Unnecessary idling of vehicles.

Movement – Trucks to be covered with tarpaulin / plastic Enforcing for dust limit (<25 kmph)

Plantations – Green belt development and avenue plantation

Precautionary measures by providing the protective nose mask for dust.

9.1.2 Noise Pollution and its mitigation

Sources of Noise The Ballast, Boulders and Road Metal rock breaking, haulage may be generating noise, however, the

probable noise level will be within permissible limits. The noise produced due to the machinery operations

and transport vehicles. However, all the vehicles are regularly repaired and checking the maintenance.

11.0 Afforestation Programme and Flora – Fauna

Flora and Fauna

Due to water stress conditions and Edaphic factor the biomass cover is less. Tree coverage is less and mostly herbs and shrubs are dominating.

The vegetation is very scarce. No plant species is found that is ecologically Important (Rare, endangered threatened etc.) restricted to the area.

The Loss of Biomass can be compensated by providing ideal conditions (proper supervision, water, fertilizer etc.) for the proposed Green Belt.

Other than domestic animals no ecologically important animals are reported in this area.

13.1 Proposed Afforestation The Soil scraped from the surface will be stored temporarily along the edges of the mine till the complete

extraction. This ensures proper preservation and utilization of the soil.

13.2 Proposal for reclamation of land affected by mining The proposed mining will result in reducing the height of the area and exposing the Parent rock. To the

ground level, the applicant can reutilize for agriculture purpose after completion of the Quarrying.

13.3 Environmental Greening Program Environmental greening program is an important component of the Environment Management Plain and is

an imperative requirement for any major industrial activity, as per the guidelines issued by the ministry of

Environment and forests, Govt. of Indian Conceptualization, design and implementation of the proposed

activity and the site conditions area presented. Each year some of the part of the barrier zone will be

subjected to afforestation and care will be taken to protect the saplings. Fruit growing trees are proposed to

be planted.

13.4 Plantation programme The Applied area is not suitable for plantation as entire area is Plain area. There are No chances of any tree

can growing in the Quarry Area. However it is proposed to plant a few trees in the same place or nearby

village. The details of proposed plantation. Viz, Neem, Eucalyptus etc which is envisaged of good survival

rate.

12.0 Socio – economic Environment For the functioning of the mine approx. 20 Manpower will be utilized and it will not have any

significant impact on economy of the local people It will have indirect benefit to the people of Andhra Pradesh in the form of collection of tax. Land allocated for road will be laid with avenue plantation along with lights which will be useful

for the local people No impact due to influx of population / labour because the mine is very small.

13.0 Disaster Planning

The mining operation shall be carried out under the management control and direction of a qualified mines

manager holding a second class managers certificate of competency to manage a Metalliferrous mine

granted by director general of mines safety (DGMS) .DGMS have been issuing a number of standing

orders and circulars to be followed by the mine management in case of disaster, if any. Moreover mining

staff would be sent to refresher courses from time to keep them abreast of the regulations. However

following Natural / Industrial Hazards may occur during normal operation.
