3.4.1 Topography

The applied area is located on slightly elevated 48M above MSL elevated without any difference of low to

High levels, visually this applied area is Plain dry land and at present not suitable for cultivation.

3.4.2 Regional Geology

Geologically the applied area is a part of Eastern Ghats super group. The Eastern Ghats area series of

detached hill ranges of heterogeneous composition which stretch intermittently from the northern

border of odisha through the coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh to join the Nilgiris in the Western part of

9


odisha through and in the northern part of Andhra Pradesh down to the valley of Krishna river, being

composed of garnetiferous sillimanite gneisses (Khondalite) and large masses of Charnockites.

The Nallamalai and palkonda hill are part of Eastern Ghats which composed of kadapa and Kurnool

formations. The Eastern Ghats to the north of the Krishna rive have been considered to have been

uplifted in the Pre – Cambrian times. This is supported by the fact that the majority of the rocks have the

impress of high grade metamorphism. They contain intrusive masses of granitic rocks which, when

invading manganiferous sediments have given rise to hybrid rocks originally described as Kodurites by

Fermor

9.0 Anticipated impacts & Mitigation Measures due to proposed project

The environment management plan is prepared with a view to facilities effective environmental

management of the project in general and implementation of the mitigation measures in particular The

EMP provides a delivery mechanism to address potential adverse impacts and to introduce standards of

good practice to be adopted for all project works. The anticipated impacts due to mining and allied

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 Gravel 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.

1. Loaded trucks movement generates 80-84 dB (A) (2-3 trucks short time stay at mine area)

2. Digging and excavation activities -70 dB(A) (Only during day time)

3. (if required Blasting operation only for few minutes)

4. Normal values when mining is not in operation (40-45dB(A))

14


Control Measures

• The protective noise reducing gear like earmuffs, the company will provide earplugs. All

the machines are used acoustic enclosures to avoid the noise.

• Mining operations will be carried out during day time only and avoid inconvenience to

the nearby habitations.

• The noise propagation values found to be less than the prescribed noise limits

• Ear plugs will be provided to the noise prone areas

• Vehicular maintenance will ensure less noise.

9.1.3 Water Quality

The mine lease area is elevated Plain Dry Land type deposition. It usable Gravel quarry operations extent

below ground level maximum. There is a possibility of accumulation of rain water in the mine pits during

monsoon. The mining operations during monsoon. Whatever were accumulated in the mine during

monsoon will be seeps the below ground level. Therefore, there is no ground water contamination.

9.1.4 Occupational Safety and Health

� Safety precautions as per Metalliferrous mines regulations and mine rules and Act shall be taken.

� Minimum distance of 7.5 m will be left all along the mine lease boundary. The mined out area

will be kept out of bounds for public by providing fencing.

12.0 Afforestation Programme and Flora – Fauna

15


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 cab 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 Quarry lease applied area is not suitable for plantation as entire area is Plain dry land area. There are

absolutely 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.

13.0 Socio – economic Environment

� For the functioning of the mine approx. 12 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
