o Regional Geology: The Eastern Ghats Mobile (EGMB) is occupied more than

600km in length from Srikakulam in the Northern to Ongole in the South. This belt is more than 100 km in width in Northern part and appears down to less than 20km in the south, it has broad actuated trend with west ward convexity. The NNE -SSW trend in the southern part of the belt changes NE-SW in the North, EGMB is divided into 3 longitudinal Zones.

o While in the Northern parts in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram & Visakhapatnam District the central Khondalite Zone occupies major part of the area, whereas western Charnockite Zone occurs in the Southern part. The Rocks in this belt and represented High Grade Granulite facies of Metamorphism and suffered by complex deformation.

o In Visakhapatnam District the EGMB is represented by vide ranges of Litho Units viz. Charnokites, Khondalites, two Pyroxene Granulites, Migmatites, Leptynites and Intrusive Porphyroblastic Charnokites. Large enclaves of

Charnokites, Khondalites and Meta-Basic rocks occur within Migmatites, which are largely seen in the area lying between R. Vamsadhara and coast line.

o Local Geology: Anakapalli and its surrounding area expose a variety of Rock forming a part of Migmatite Zone of the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt. Prominent among them are Charnokites (Acidic, Basic & Intermediate varieties), Leptynites, Granitoid Gnesis etc. These Charnokites are being Quarried in Marturu, Rolugunta, Bowlavada, Thummapala and Mamidipalem in Visakhapatnam District. These Charnokites are Grey to Greasy in Colour, medium to Coarse Grained with Quartz, Plagioclase Feldspar, Pyroxenes, Biotite and Iron Oxides. These Charnockites are best suited for Road Metal and Building Stone, as they have low permeability, medium to height bearing capacity and good foundation characteristics. The Road Metal and Building Stone produced in the area cater to the needs of civil construction in and around Visakhapatnam for infrastructural works, construction projects etc.

o Topography of the site: The area is located on Toposheet No. 65 K/14. The Quarry Lease area is Topographically Highly Elevated area. The Maximum Elevation is 216 M and the Minimum Elevation is 126 M. Therefore the relief is 90 m. Notable Water bodies either seasonal or perennial are not present nearby area which may cause the inundation of Quarry. However, Suitable storm Water garland Drainage system will be adopted to divert the Rain Water into natural Drainage. Benches and Haul Roads will be sloped in such a way to allow the Rain Water into garland Drains. The Hillock covered with modest vegetation, while the Quarry area is covered with thorny bushes and shrubs.

o There are no sensitive receptors or ecosystems or water bodies in the core zone. There is one (01) first order stream passing on the west side of the proposed area at about 120 meters and is outside the lease area.

o Nearest Village Marturu is at 1.5 km, towards South of the lease area.

o There are no eco sensitive areas within 10 km of the lease. There are no major industries within this area.

Proposed Mining o There are no public buildings, places of importance and historical monuments,

the applicant will conduct the Quarry Operations duly adopting the restrictions regarding the safety Measures as per the Regulations 106 & 127 of Metalliferrous Mines Regulations, 1961.

o The applicant can excavate Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel by Open Cast Method, since it is a Blanket deposit formed by Charnockites Rock, little need for blasting, excavation can be done manually are Semi Mechanized Methods as per Regulation 106 and 127 of MMR,1961 and necessary Permissions shall be obtained from the DGM&S, Hyderabad.

o The Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel in the Quarry Lease area is exposed on

the surface. Hence, it is proposed to mine for Quarrying Open Cast, using Semi Mechanized Methods, by developing the Benches of 5-10M Height with 6-12M

Width. The development of Benches will be maintained not exceeding 400-500 safety slopes, as per the norms stipulated in MMR, 1961.

o Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel Quarry work in the Quarry Lease area is already working and the proposed method of working is by Semi Mechanized Method of Open Cast Quarrying. Considering Mining parameter and the technical parameters like surface topography, Rock mechanism factor and quality variations Geo - Technical aspects, required rate of production available resources etc. small scale building Quarrying activity with Jack Hammer Drilling & Blasting.

o Due care will be taken on Mining and safety aspects in designing the Benches by straightening advancing the Benches for effective and economical operation of the Quarrying operations must be end before the Ground Water table. Since the Ground Water Table is much below and the rainfall is not very high during monsoon Drainage of Water inside the Pit will not pose problem.

o The ultimate pit depth will be 50 M from Top Most Level, for both Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel. Benches can be around @ 5-10M Height & 6-12M width. And maintained for safety norms, Temporary internal roads (Kutcha Roads) maintained without steep slopes, pouring Water for proper maintenance, dust controlling etc., There is no Electricity available in this Mine area. So the Mining activity will be carried out Day time only.

Drilling and Blasting: o Drill holes of 1.5 – 3.0 m depth will be drilled in a staggered pattern at 6-12M

interval. The drill holes will be of 32mm diameter and generally drilled vertically in alignment. Detonator fuse type explosives will be used for blasting.

Proposed Production Plan: o The details of year wise excavation during the plan period, are as under:

mg/liter. In general, the ground water quality in the study area, confirms to the permissible limits of IS:10500-2012 (Drinking Water Specification).

Solid waste: During the mining plan period, the mineral rejects are estimated to be 69,500 CuM and for the lease period, the total mineral rejection will be about 1,39,000 CuM Impacts:

Land: There is no top soil, in the proposed lease area. No agriculture is being carried-out in the proposed lease area. There are some existing quarry pits. Based on site topography, no pit will be made during the operational phase of the quarry. Instead, benches will be made from North side to South side. Also, the proposed area is at a higher elevation than the surrounding areas, by about 40-45 meters. Hence, there would not be any major adverse impact on topography/drainage or on land use or agriculture. The external appearance will continue to be as it is. Geological records on these deposits state that considerable quantity (probable) of Road Metal and Building Stone would be present in the pits after extracting during the lease period, as per approved mining plan. Proved mineable reserves would be mined till the conceptual period of mine. However, probable and possible mineral reserves may allow for continuation of mining, after the present lease period. Hence backfilling or reclamation of the mined out area is not proposed.

Thus, mined out area will be left as it is, till mining starts again

Air: Ground level concentrations as per the model for dispersion of air pollutants for lease area source show that there would not be any major adverse impact on ambient air quality. Water: There would not be any impact on aquatic environment including hydrology, drainage or quality because a) there is no drain in the lease, b) ground water table will not be intercepted, c) dewatering of pits will not be required and d) Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel pit water is suitable for irrigation. Regular monitoring for fluoride content is required.

Noise: Sources during mine operation would be drilling and blasting. Drillers would be exposed to about 75-80 dB(A). In this case, controlled sequential blasting will be carried-out to reduce noise and vibration. Pit-walls would absorb the vibrations due to drilling and blasting. Hence, there would not be any adverse impact. There are no structures over the lease area, as well as within 1 km radius of the quarry lease area. Biological: There is no sensitive fauna and flora or endangered species within 10 km radius of the lease. Lease is a part of Non-Forest area. Also, this area is not known for any special kind of biodiversity. Project proponent will carry out plantation in scientific way. He will choose locally suitable species in consultation with local forest department.

Socioeconomic & health: There will not be any displacement on account of this project because land has already been notified in favour of the Project Proponent. It is proposed to a) prefer employment to deserving local persons in mining related trades like loading/unloading of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel, dust suppression, drilling etc., b) train residents of nearby villages for harvesting rain water, and sanitation practices etc., c) employment of local people for works related to development & maintenance of greenbelt and afforestation.

Plantation: The proposed quarry area and its buffer zone, has a rocky outcrop and hence it is not possible to take-up any plantation in the 7.5 m wide safety zone. However, it is proposed to take-up plantation, on either side of the approach road and also in the adjoining government land. It is proposed to plant about 500 locally suitable species, as part of green belt development. One cubic meter pits will be made on either side of the approach road and in the vacant govt. land. These pits will be filled with top soil from lease area. Refuse or garbage will be added as per availability. Growth in the first year will be observed. Species will be chosen depending on availability and suitability to local soil conditions.

Occupational Health & Safety Measures:

The employees working in the quarrying activity will be provided with suitable personnel protective equipment (PPE) like safety shoes, dust masks, helmets, etc. Also, they will be subjected to annual health check-up, particularly for hearing related illness and respiratory disorders. Protective shelters for workers with treated R.O. Water, First Aid facilities, Dining facility etc. will be provided.

Corporate Social Responsibility:

A few are mentioned below: (1) Supply of Drinking Water unit to the nearby Bowluvada Village, at a cost of Rs.

3.50 Lakhs.

(2) Project Proponent will organize annual health camp, in the nearby villages.

Rs. 1,00,000/- per camp per annum

Economics of project: Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel deposits in the proposed quarry area, are suitable for civil construction works. It has high demand in the nearby areas. The proposed land has a rocky patch and is non-productive and unsuitable for agriculture. Therefore mining will be in the interest of State revenue and of the people around. Direct and indirect employment to locals is assured.

Lease is a rocky land in Non-Forest Govt. Land. It has some wild shrubs and thorny bushes. There will not be any kind of rain water accumulation, due to bench formation. Hence, there would not any damage to environmental quality.

Initiation of mining by Sri. K. Surendranath, will improve revenue to the state without deterioration in environmental quality. On the contrary population in nearby villages will become aware of importance of potable water quality and sanitation.

Openings for indirect employment to locals in plantation, loading/ unloading operations etc. are possible.

2.4.2 Mining related activities: ➢ The Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel in the quarry lease area is exposed on the

surface with sheet. ➢ Hence, it is proposed to quarry the sheet by open cast, semi-mechanized method

by developing the bench of 5-10M height with single slice of 1.5 to 6-12M bench width with shallow drilling and blasting.

➢ The development of benches in the sheet rock will be maintained @ 45-50o safety slopes

➢ Since, the annual saleable production (max.) is about 1,25,100 m3/Annum (incl. Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel) and considering a working schedule of 300 days per year, the daily production will be about 417 m3 per day.

➢ Systematic mine development and mining of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel is planned up to a depth of 50 m (from the highest level within the lease area) in this Plan Period.

➢ Based on the disposition and the width of the Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel, the ultimate pit limit is arrived accordingly.

➢ The mine is worked along the strike of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel. ➢ Specific permission from Directorate of Mines safety will be obtained for working

with heavy machinery for digging, excavation and removal of ore etc. under regulation 106.(2)(b) of Metalliferrous Mines Regulation 1961.

➢ Mining is going to be carried out using excavators after drilling and blasting. ➢ As per the approved mining plan, in the present proposal, there is 10% waste

generation. 90% of the mined quantity is saleable/ usable. ➢ During the plan period, it is proposed to maintain a uniform saleable Road Metal,

Building Stone & Gravel Production of 1,25,100 m3 per year. ➢ At the given rate of proposed production, the life of the mine is

(13,08,468/1,25,100) about 10.46 years.

2.4.3 Extent of Mechanization: The Method of mining shall continue to be semi-Mechanized method. There will not be changes in the proposed method of mining and deployment of machinery. The following machines are proposed to be hired and used in the mines.

List of Machineries are as under:

2.4.4 Drilling & Blasting:

(i) Drilling: Drill holes of 1.5 – 3.0 m depth will be drilled in a staggered pattern at 6-12M interval:

❖ Drill hole diameter : 32 mm up to 1.5 – 3.0 m long ❖ Depth and inclination of drill hole: Generally drilled vertically in alignment. ❖ Explosive type : Detonator Fuse

ii) Blasting:

In the proposed quarry, there is no top soil. The sheet rock is exposed, from which the Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel boulders can be extracted.

Considering the facts that the Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel requires blasting for its extraction and class II explosives are to be used, the powder factor is estimated as 6 tonnes per Kg. of explosives.

The estimated average annual production (ROM) of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel, as per approved Mining Plan is 1,39,000 m3 per annum and considering a tonnage factor of 2.5 Tons/ m3, the estimated average annual production of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel will be about 3,47,500 Tons per annum.

The explosive required per annum at a powder factor of 6 tonnes/ kg will be 3,47,500 (average)/6t/kg = 57,917 kg/ annum (say). Number of holes required to be drilled will be 3,47,500/5 = 69,500.

It is proposed to use slurry explosive. The charge per hole is 5 Kg; charging will be by cordtex fuse and with the combination of electric detonators and slurry explosive.

Handling and blasting contract will be awarded to the license holders (explosive suppliers) who sell, possesses and use of explosives; system of initiation – ordinary detonators.

In addition, we require about 69,500 M of cordtex fuse and 69,500 numbers of electric detonators for initiation purpose. Controlled blasting will be carried out by:

1. Adopting sequential blasting by using delay detonators. 2. Restricting number of holes at a time blasting to only 10. 3. Detonating –Cord and Raydets/Nonel detonators will be used to prevent

ground vibrations.

4. Sand bags/ mud bags will be covered over the holes to prevent vertical through of flying fragments.

5. Tyre mats or steel mat will be used over the blasting area to prevent flying rocks.

Precautionary Measures to be adopted at the time of Blasting Period: ✓ The employer shall permit only authorized and qualified persons to handle

and use explosives. ✓ All persons within the premises of danger zone (500meters) shall be cleared

before blasting. ✓ Siren shall be horned before the blasting. Effective communication system shall

be established between all entries and the blasting personnel. ✓ All entries to the mine shall be guarded by security to prevent inadvertent

entry of persons in to the restricted area of blasting. ✓ Smoking, firearms, matches, open flame lamps, and other fires, flame or heat

producing devices and sparks shall be prohibited in or near explosive magazines or while explosives are being handled, transported or used.

✓ No person shall be allowed to handle or use explosives while under the influence of intoxicating liquors, narcotics, or other dangerous drugs.

✓ All explosives shall be accounted for at all times. Explosives not being used shall be returned to the magazine, unavailable to persons not authorized to handle them. The employer shall maintain an inventory and use record of all explosives. Appropriate authorities shall be notified of any loss, theft, or unauthorized entry into a magazine.

✓ No explosives or blasting agents shall be abandoned. ✓ No fire shall be fought where the fire is in imminent danger of contact with

explosives. All employees shall be removed to a safe area and the fire area guarded against intruders.

✓ Original containers, or Class II magazines, shall be used for taking detonators and other explosives from storage magazines to the blasting area.

✓ When blasting is done in congested areas or in proximity to a structure, railway, or highway, or any other installation that may be damaged, the blaster shall take special precautions in the loading, delaying, initiation, and confinement of each blast with mats or other methods so as to control the throw of fragments, and thus prevent bodily injury to employees.

✓ Detonators shall be short-circuited in holes which have been primed and shunted until wired into the blasting circuit.

✓ The suspension of all blasting operations and removal of persons from the blasting area during the approach and progress of an electric storm;

✓ The prominent display of adequate signs, warning against the use of mobile radio transmitters, on all roads within 1,000 feet of blasting operations. Whenever adherence to the 1,000-foot distance would create an operational handicap, a competent person shall be consulted to evaluate the particular situation, and alternative provisions may be made which are adequately designed to prevent any premature firing of electric blasting caps. A description of any such alternatives shall be reduced to writing and shall be certified as meeting the purposes of this subdivision by the competent person consulted. The description shall be maintained at the construction site during the duration of the work, and shall be available for inspection by representatives of the Secretary of Labor.

✓ Specimens of signs which would meet the requirements of paragraph (k)(3) of this section are the following:

Powder factor: The detailed calculations showing the powder factor in this area is as follows. Spacing ………………… 3.0 m Burden ………………… 2.5 m Depth of the hole ………………… 3.0 m Density ………………… 2.5 t/m3 Blasting efficiency ………………… 95%

Therefore, the powder factor=3.00m x 2.50m x 3.0m x 2.5 (T/m3) x 0.95 = 53.4 tonnes for 5 kg. Explosives For 1 Kg Explosives = 53.4/5 say 11. tons/Kg

Therefore, each hole gives us =3.0m x 2.5m x 3.0 m x 0.95 x 2.5 Ton/m3 = 53.4 tonnes ROM

The ROM to be handled is 3,47,500 TPA.

No. of holes required for 3,47,500 TPA will be 3,47,500/53.4= 6508 Nos

Total drilling required will be 6508 X 3 =19,524 meters/ annum.

Highest and lowest contours are 216M to 126m AMSL respectively. There is steep slope is from North to South. There is not much topsoil. It is proposed to handle about 69,500 m3 of waste during the plan period and a total of 1,39,000 m3 of waste during the lease period. It is proposed to utilize this waste for strengthening the approach roads and village roads. Excess quantity of waste will be dumped within the lease as shown in the plan. The proposed lease area is under low hazard seismic zone. There is no record of earthquake.

3.2.2 Soil quality: The major rivers flowing in the district are Sarada, Varaha and Tandava which flow from the east, with rivulets Meghadrigedda and Naravagedda. These rivers are ephemeral in nature and flow from north to south joining the sea. The Gosthani is an east flowing river from Ananthagiri hills and joins the Bay of Bengal. The area is mainly drained by Hanumanthavaka, Narvagedda, Peddagadda and other minor streams which have their origin in adjoining hills. The Tandava, Varaha, Sarada and Gosthani rivers and their

tributaries have contributed to the formation of extensive flood plain areas. There is not much surface drainage in the plains because of the high infiltration and permeable characteristics of the sediments. The drainage pattern is mainly sub-dendritic to dendritic type. According to the assessment made on the basis of the visit and some secondary data the area is covered by Red loamy soils, predominantly, which are light textured and are easily drained. Majority of the soils around the proposed site are shallow to medium deep in character. These are subjected to certain farming practices, which offer a good to moderate production status, as the area receives comparatively high rainfall (annual avg. rainfall of the district is 1200 mm).

As the soils are exposed to dryness and the problem of erosion is very serious due to sloppy and undulating topography. The steep slopes and marginal lands bordering hillocks face acute erosion in times of heavy rains. The cropping environment includes the rain-fed situation specially around the leased area.

As far as the proposed Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel Quarry area is concerned, there is no agriculture over the proposed lease area. The chemical properties of soils, in the nearby areas are given in Table 11:

3.4.3 Ground Water Scenario: At the end of conceptual period, there will not be formation of any kind of pit. Based on site topography, benches will be made during the operational phase of the quarry. The proposed area is at a higher elevation than the surrounding areas, by about 50-55 meters and the proposed excavation will be within the lease area. Total mined out area will be 2.950 Ha., at the end of conceptual period, with the conceptual depth of 50 m from the top most level. At the end of conceptual period ultimate bottom level will be 160 m above MSL.

Climatologically the district experiences tropical sub-humid type of climate with moderate summer and good seasonal rainfall. The southwest monsoon sets in the second week of June and lasts till September end. October and November receive rainfall from northeast monsoon. Winter season with cool and fine weather prevails from December to February followed by summer season upto early June.

The average annual rainfall of the district is 1115-10Mm. and monthly rainfall ranges from nil rainfall in January to 207.5 mm in October. October is the wettest month of the year. The mean seasonal rainfall distribution is 673.5 mm. in southwest monsoon (June-September), 271.8 mm. in northeast monsoon (October-December), 10.9 mm. rainfall in Winter (Jan-Feb) and 126.5-10Mm in summer (March – May). The percentage distribution of rainfall, season-wise, is 60.36% in southwest monsoon, 24.36 % in northeast monsoon, 0.97 percentage in winter and 14.3 % in summer.

The district is underlain by variety of geological formations from the oldest Archaeans to Recent Alluvium. The Archaean group of rocks includes Khondalites and Charnockites of Eastern Ghat super group and Khondalitic gneisses of Migmatite group. The Gondwana rocks which are represented by sandstones are in very limited aerial extent. The recent alluvium is prevalent along the rivers. Prominent lineaments are trending in NE-SW, NW-SE and ENE-WSW.

Ground water occurs in almost all geological formations. From the ground water point of view, the aquifers in the district can be broadly classified into hard formations (khondalites, charnockites, khondalitic gneisses etc.) and soft formations (sand stones and alluvium). Ground water occurs under unconfined to semi-confined conditions in the hard formations, while it occurs under unconfined to confined conditions in soft formations. The yields in the weathered zones of hard formations range from 25 to 100 m3/day. The bore wells drilled in the hard formations, generally tap the fractured and fissured zones. The yields of the bore wells in these formations range between 5 to 25

m3/hr. Sand stones are exposed in the small isolated places around Nakkavanipalem and Elamanchili. In these formations, ground water occurs under both unconfined and confined conditions. The depth of dug wells in alluvium formations ranges from 2 to 10 mbgl and the yields generally ranges from 40 to 250 m3/day. The depth of filter points/tubewells varies from 9 to 35 m with discharges ranging from 15 to 30 m3/hour.

The transmissivity values of the aquifers in the consolidated formations generally vary from 1 to 772 m2/day, whereas specific capacity ranges from 1 to 290 lpm/mdd.

A map showing hydrogeological features of Visakhapatnam District is shown below:

Based on the water level data (year 2012) of ground water monitoring wells, pre and post-monsoon depth to water levels maps are prepared by CGWB and are presented below. The depth to water level maps shows varied water level zones due to underlying terrain and also different geological set up with complex type of

hydrogeomorphical structures present in the district. Pre- monsoon (May, 2012) depth to water level map reveals, in general, the water levels are deep particularly in the hilly area of the district. Depth to water levels varies from 5 to 10 m BGL, except at Chintapalli, where water level recorded 15.78 m BGL. In the southern part of the district i.e., near to the coast, the water levels are comparatively shallow (<5.00m) except in Payakaraopeta and Nakkapalli mandals where it is in between 5 and 10m BGL.

Pre-Monsoon Ground Water Levels in Visakhapatnam District

During the post monsoon period (November, 2012), in general, the water levels follow nearly same trend. Water levels in the most part of northern area show less than 5 m. except at Potinamallaya Palem (5.80 m). The Shallow water levels, <2m, were observed in South-Western part of the district. The shallow water level was recorded at Addaroddu (0.30 m). The shallow water levels in the area might be due to location of wells close to surface water bodies/ in topographic low levels. From the trend of both pre and post monsoon levels it can be safely concluded that the area, in general, is not prone to water logging.

Post-Monsoon Ground Water Levels in Visakhapatnam District

From the above, it is concluded that ground water level in the proposed quarry region, is varying in between 5m to 10m BGL, during pre-monsoon season and becomes 2m to 4m BGL, during post-monsoon season.

(Source: Ground Water Brochure, Visakhapatnam District, A.P., published by Central Ground Water Board, Govt. of India, Southern Region, Hyderabad, September 2013)

Hence it is also concluded that mining operation will not intersect ground water table of the proposed quarry lease area.

3.4.4 Water Quality: Ground Water Samples were collected from the nearby villages and from a stone crusher site near the proposed quarry site. The collected samples were analysed in a NABL accredited laboratory. Analysis of water samples are given in Table 17.

a) Observations on water quality: The ground water quality in and around the proposed lease area is slightly alkaline, with the pH levels ranging from 7.7 to 8.3. The total hardness is ranging from 196 to 530 mg/liter as CaCO3, whereas the Total Dissolved Solids content is varying between 551 to 885 mg/liter. The fluoride levels are ranging from 0.14 to 0.82 mg/liter and the nitrate levels are varying between 3.2 to 6.2 mg/liter. The sulphate levels are ranging from 76.0 to 212.0 mg/liter and the chloride levels are varying between 155.0 to 267.0 mg/liter. In general, the ground water quality in the study area, confirms to the permissible limits of IS:10500-2012 (Drinking Water Specification).

b) Wastewater: Continuous dewatering of pits during mining may be required, during monsoon, as the mining activity will lead to creation of one quarry pit. However, the mining depth will not intersect the ground water in the area. Sanitary wastewater will be generated. Toilet facility will be provided with septic tank and soak pit.

3.6 Flora and Fauna

3.6.1 General: The vegetation of Visakhapatnam District can be broadly represented in three categories viz., i) Coastal vegetation, ii) Vegetation of the plains and iii) Vegetation of the agency area.

i) The coastal vegetation is roughly of 3 types: a) vegetation of open coast, b) the vegetation of the saline marshes and c) vegetation of the rocky coast. The plants of the open coast are Spinifex lititoreus Merr., Ipomoea pes-capra Sweet and Launea sarmentosa Alston, all acting as sand binders. Next to this zone are found Pandanus fascicularis Lamk., Borassus flubellifer Linn., along with plantations of Casuarina equisetifolia Frost. Next to this zone, in open places, Calatropis gigantea R. Br., Trachys muricata Pers., Phyla nudiflora (L.) Greene, Tephrosia purpurea (L.) Pers., T. villosa (L.) Pers. etc. are found. The plants found in the saline marshes are bushes of Avicinnia alba Bl., Sesuvium portulacastrum L., Acanthus ilicifolius Linn, etc. In the rocky coastal areas Synostemon bacciformis (L.) Webster, Streblus asper Lour., Echinops echinatus DC., Pisonia aculeata Linn., Maba bukifolia Pers., Plectronia parviflora Bedd. etc. are found.

ii) In the plains Barassus flabellifer L,, Phoenix sylvestris Roxb., Anacardium occidentale L,, Tamarindus indica L., Cassia fistula L., Wrighfia tinctoria R. Br. etc. are found along with the shrubby vegetation comprising of Carissa spinarum L,, Eugenia bracteata Roxb., Holarrhena antidysenterica (L.) Wall., Corisandra pinnata Gamble, Capparis zeylanica L., Zizyphus oenoplia Mill., Jatropha gossypifolia L., Pavetta indica L. etc. The herbs of the plains and cultivated fields are mostly weeds. On open waste places and road sides etc. the commonly found weeds are Cassia occidentalis L., C. tora Linn., Croton bonpladianum Baill., Indigofera ennaephylla L., Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don, Euphorbia hirta L., Argemone mexicana L., Gomphrena decumbens Jacq., Tribulus 'terrestris L., Phyllanthus fraternus webster etc. The weeds of the fields are different due to more availability of water. Among them mention may be made of Bacopa monnierii (L.) Pennel, Scoparia dulcis L., Ammania baccifera Linn., Eclipta prostrata (L.) L., Trianthema postulacastrum L., Hygrophila auriculata (Schumach) Heine., Sphaeranthus indicus L., Ludwigia parviflora Roxb. etc.

iii) The vegetation of the agency area was subject to indiscreet destruction due to shifting cultivation practised by the native tribals and grazing and burning as well over a number of years. As a result the present forests are of secondary origin. They are either (a) Southern secondary moist mixed deciduous forests or (b) dry savannah forests

a) Southern moist mixed deciduous forests: Survivors of the primary forest are occasionally encountered here and there, especially in damp hollows. More of the soft quick growing trees are common in these forests, whereas shrubs and thin grass form the ground cover. Wild mango is a characteristic of this type. Evergreen elements are found scattered. The top canopy is made by Magnifera indica L., Michelia champaka L., Schleichera olesa (Lour.) Oken, Bombax ceiba L., Syzygium cumini Skeels, Albizia chinensis (Osb.) Merr., A. odoratissima (L, f.) Benth., Toona ciliata Roem., Terminalia tomentosa Wight & Arn., T. bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb., T. chebula Retz., Tamarindus indica L., Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb., Ficus racemosa L., F. cunia Ham. etc. The lower canopy is chiefly made up of Phyllanthus emblica L., Lagerstroemia parvflora Roxb., Mallotus philippensis Muel1.-Arg., Feronia limonia (L.) Swingle, Calicarpa arborea Roxb., Lannea coromandelica (Houtt.)

Merr., Dillenia pentagyna Roxb., Gmelina arborea Roxb. Wrightia tinctoria R. Dr., Careya arborea Roxb., Bridelia retusa (L.) Spreng., Cassia fistula L., Buchanania lanzan Spreng. etc.

The shrubby layer is composed of chiefly Woodfordia fruticosa (L.) Kurz., Leea robusta Roxb., Zizyphus oenoplia (L.) Mill, Casearia elliptica Willd., Tabernaemontana divaricata (L.) 'R. Br. ex Roem. & Schult., Grewia rothit DC., Mimosa rubicaulis Lamk, Gardenia gummifera L. f., Solanium erianthum D. Don, Clerodendrum serratum Spr., Sarcococca trinervia Wight, Securinega virosa (Roxb. ex Willd.) Pax & Hoffm., Murraya paniculata (L.) Jacq. etc. The undergrowth comprises of herbs and undershrubs such as Barleria cuspidata Heyne ex Nees, B. cristata L., Neopeltandra suberosa Gamble, Pilea microphylla (L.) Leibm., Byttneria herbacea Roxb., Knoxia sumatrensis (Retz.) DC., Curcuma pseudomontana Grah., Acalypha alnifoliu Klein ex Willd., Pouzolzia indica Gaud., Cynoglossum meeboldii Brand., Tephrosia purpurea Pers., Breynia retusa (Dennst.) Alston, Zingiber roseum Rosc., Curculigo orchioides Gaertn., Loucas linifolia Spr., Crotalaria calycina Schr. etc.

Woody climbers such as Phanera vahlii (Wight & Arn.) Benth., Hiptage benghalensis (L.) Kurz, Acacia sinuata (Lour.) Merr., A. intsia Willd. etc., are common. Gnetum ula Brogn, is also found near Sunkarimetta, Dharakonda etc. Some of the ferns commonly found in localities favourable for their growth are Pyrrosia porosa Wall., Adiantum caudatum Linn., Hemionites arifolia (Burm.) Moore, Lygodium flexuosum (L.) Sw., Cyathea spinulosa Wall. ex Hook., Dryopteris sparsa (D. Don) O. Ktze., Microlepia pilosella (Hook.) Moore and Thelypteris sp. etc. These forests are found in some parts around Sunkarimetta, Araku Valley, Jolaput and to a larger extent around Kilagada, Minumuluru and Gangarajumadugula.

b) Dry Savannah Forests: In these forests, the trees are few, stand far apart singly or in small groups in more or less heavy grass in which certain fire resistant plants persist. Bushy stemless phoenix humilis Royle var. pedunculata Becc. is characteristic of these forests. The trees are often unarmed and hollow. Phyllanthus emblica L., Terminalia chebula Retz., T. bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. and Syzygium cumini Skeels are common associated with Cassia fistula L., Anogeissus latifolia (Roxb.) Wall, ex Bedd., Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb. etc. The commonly found grasses are Artistida setacea Retz., Arundinella bengalensis (Spr.) Druce, Bothriochloa pertusa (L.) A. Camus, Brachiaria ramosa (L.) Stapf, B. setigera (Retz.) Hubb., Cymbopogon flexuosum (Nees ex Steud) Wats., Eragrostis coarctata Stapf, Hackelochloa granularis (L.) O. Ktze., Heteropogon contortus (L.) P. Beauv. ex Roem. & Schult., Ischaemum indicum (Houtt.) Merr., Panicum maximum Jacq., Paspalum scrobiculatum Linn., Setaria pallidefusca (Schumach.) Stapf & Hubb. etc. Such forests are found in several parts around Paderu, Sujanakota, Jolaput, Araku etc. and to a limited extent near Gangarajumadugula and Minumuluru.

The area is a rugged and undulating terrain with a varied elevation and slope. The core area is fully composed of stony hills, with very few crevasses. These places do offer some place for vegetation, however was very sparse and least biomass yield. These ones are thorny bushes, Acacias and grasses of minor importance. The buffer zone exposed with slight plane and happens with gradually. The land space here has very shallow and moderate shallow soils sediments and offers some vegetation. However these too have of least economic importance, in terms of its wood value. But have a considerable fuel value and of the interest of conservation and maintenance. The possible threat at present is not anyway much due to its poor biomass value too. In fact this has been an advantage over providing the possible biomass production with alternate plantation.

3.6.2 Predominant crops Agriculture is the main stray of nearly 70% of the households. Though Visakhapatnam city is industrially developing, the rural areas continued to be backward. Rice is a staple food of the people and Paddy is therefore the principal food crop of the district followed by Ragi, Bajra and Jowar and Cash Crops such as Sugarcane, Groundnut, Sesamum, Niger and Chillies are important. Since there is no Major Irrigation system, only about 36% of the cropped area is irrigated under the Ayacut of the Medium Irrigation system and Minor Irrigation Tanks. The rest of the cultivated area is covered under dry crops depending upon the vagaries of the monsoon. The productivity of the crops are low.

3.6.3 Flora of the area: The present proposed Gravel, Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel Quarry and its surroundings fall part of plains area. In the proposed quarry area and its surroundings, the 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 this area. The loss of biomass can be compensated by providing ideal conditions (proper supervision, water, fertilizer etc.) for the proposed greenbelt. Other than domestic animals no ecologically important animals are reported in this area.

The flora of the area had made a considerable progress on the whole. However it appears that the ecological succession is rather hampered by certain biotic and a-biotic influences. In spite of these influences the area had some flora which has been further provided. These have been a result of climate, topography and geology which have considerable play for the present situation. The area being a small hilly the floristic composition also poorly spread, with minimal vegetation leading to poor biomass potential.

The vegetation found during the limited field survey and based on the secondary data, is presented in Table No. 19, below:

3.6.4 Common Fauna found in the area: There are very few faunal composition is sited as the vegetation is medium to poor and the natural water resource is also poor. In fact no mammals have been sighted over the area. Few animals found were rodents and reptiles. However some species of birds do visit casually. Some were occasional visiting to area could be are Sloth-Bears, Jackals and Foxes.

Some lizards, and other reptiles were noticed. Amphibians as not there as it is very dry area. Monitor Lizard, Wall Lizards, and common garden lizards are present. Some non-poisonous snakes like rat snakes are common. Green snakes, water snakes, are found in the area.

There are no wild life sanctuaries in the area.

The bird life in general may be considered to be in better shape as the poachers are restricted. A good number of species live in and around area as well visits the area. The common birds those visit and harbor some time were Crows, Sparrows, Myna, Parrots, are checked in sometimes. Vultures are also seen 3.7 Socio-Economic Environment

3.7.1 Introduction: The study of socio-economic component of environment incorporates various facets, viz. demographic structure, availability of basic amenities such as housing, education, health and medical services, occupation, water supply, sanitation, communication and power supply, prevailing diseases in the region as well as features such as places of tourist attraction and monuments of archaeological importance. The study of these parameters helps in identifying predicting and evaluating the likely impacts due to project activity in the surrounding region.

processing and repairs in household industry; and other than household industry, construction, trade & commerce, transport & communication and other services.

Due to boom in mining in recent years majority of farmers as well as agriculture laborers are engaged in the mining activity. This information is not forthcoming from the Published Census Data.

The marginal workers are those engaged in some work for Vishakapatnam period of less than six months during the reference year prior to the census survey. The non-workers include those engaged in unpaid household duties, students, retired persons, dependents, beggars, vagrants etc.; institutional inmates or all other non-workers who do not fall under the above categories. The occupational structure of the study area is shown in Table: 25.

3.7.10 Salient Observation of the Survey/ Study Area ❖ House pattern: It is notable that nearly 85-90% of the houses were semi pakka

with good construction and others were pakka at survey area. ❖ Employment: Main occupation of the people in the study area was labour work

and some of agriculture. The labours were getting daily wage in the range of Rs. 200-300, depending on type of work involved.

❖ Fuel: Most of the villagers use fire woods and LPG for cooking purpose ❖ Main Crops: Rice is a staple food of the people and Paddy is therefore the

principal food crop of the district followed by Ragi, Bajra and Jowar and Cash Crops such as Sugarcane, Groundnut, Sesamum, Niger and Chillies are important. Since there is no Major Irrigation system, only about 36% of the cropped area is irrigated under the Ayacut of the Medium Irrigation system and Minor Irrigation Tanks. The rest of the cultivated area is covered under dry crops depending upon the vagaries of the monsoon.

❖ Migration: During survey it was found that local population were migrating for employment purpose. As well as others state peoples were came in that area for the labour work also.

❖ Sanitation: Toilet facility is one of the most basic facilities required in a house. The findings of the survey show that more than 85% of the households were having toilet facilities in their houses. There was open drainage system were seen at the surveyed villages. The overall condition of cleanliness was satisfactory.

❖ Drinking Water Facilities: Ground water is the major source of drinking water in the villages wherein hand pumps, tap water and dug wells are installed.

❖ Education Facilities: Most of the villages had education facilities in the form of Anganwadi and Primary Schools. Higher education facilities were available in the range of 2-3 km. Colleges and other diploma courses were available at district headquarters.

❖ Transportation Facility: For transportation purpose Auto, Public and Private Bus services were available. Transportation facilities were frequently available in the study area and connecting major cities. Private vehicles like Bicycles & Motor Cycles were mostly used by villagers for transportation purpose

❖ Road Connectivity: Most of the roads were pucca and connecting to villages. Blacktop and cement roads were commonly seen inside the villages

❖ Communication Facilities: For communication purpose mainly mobile phones, newspaper & post offices were seen in the villages.

❖ Medical Facilities: There were few health care facilities available in the study area. In some of the villages, Primary Health Sub-Centers were available. Hospitals and other better medical facilities were available in the range of 05-10 km at town/city place

❖ Electricity: All villages were availing electricity facility for all uses ❖ Market Facility: Study area was predominantly rural and semi urban type. In

villages, small shops were available for daily needs. Weekly market facility was available in some villages. Wholesale markets were available at town place.

3.8 Waste generation: 3.8.1 Solid Waste:

Mining plan has been prepared for period a five years and the period of lease is about 10 years. As per the approved mining plan, the estimated quantity of waste generation will be about 69,500 m3 for the plan period and is about 1,39,000 m3 for the lease period. This waste, being predominantly weathered rock, will be used for maintenance and strengthening of the approach road (between the quarry and crusher). Excess quantity of waste will be dumped within the lease as shown in the plan.

3.8.2 Leachates: Granitic Gneiss rejects are not hazardous and do not contain any toxic elements. Leachates will be innocuous because all soluble material has been washed out.

3.8.3 Soil: There is not much topsoil generation, due to the fact that, it is a quarry under renewal. If any quantity is generated, it will be used for plantation works.

CHAPTER 4 ANTICIPATED IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 Land Environment:

4.1.1 Anticipated Impact On topography: Lease area is 4.50 Hectares, and is a part of hilly terrain. The proposed quarry land is not a grazing or agriculture land. It is part of Non-Forest Government Land, for which, the project authorities have obtained the in-principle grant (in the form of Letter of Intent) for 1st renewal, from the Dept. of Mines & Geology, Andhra Pradesh. The proposed quarry area, is renewed in favour of the proponent. Approx. 2,74,050 CuM has been excavated during the previous lease period. Only one (01) first order stream is passing at a distance of 120m from the western boundary of the proposed area and is outside the lease area. The present appearance of the proposed quarry area, is shown below:

It is seen that there is not much top soil, except some quantity scattered at places, within the present area. Hence, there is no agriculture within the present lease area and its immediate surroundings. The Quarry Lease area is Topographically Highly Elevated area. The Maximum Elevation is 216 M and the Minimum Elevation is 126 M. therefore the relief is 90 m. The quarry lease area is located on a hill raised with an elevation 216 M AMSL on Northern side, with the base level as 126 M AMSL on the Southern side, within the quarry lease area of 4.50 hectares. Working in these quarries along the present quarry, to eastern side to western side. At present the working is being undertaken above the ground surface, with Topo relief in East and West direction 90 m. The lowest contour is 126 M but GL as consider as 70m(GL) and highest contour is 216 M in Topo plan for the Quarry. The Quarry area is surrounded by many other Quarries, of which some are operational and some are non-operational. Sloping

Page | 75

towards south and west with gentle but eastern side slope is high. The hill tilted towards Southern direction.

The entire hillock is part of Sy. No. 1 of Marturu Village, devoid of any major vegetation. Plants of typical dry lands in Visakhapatnam District covers the foot of the lease area besides thorny shrubs. Since the present QL area, is at considerable height from the surrounding ground level, there would not be any adverse impact on a) topography/drainage or land use, b) agriculture etc. This being an open cast mining proposal subsidence in the nearby area is not expected. Also, being a hard khondalite mass, slope failures are also not anticipated. The external appearance will continue to be as it is.

4.1.2 Mitigation Measures: Geological records on khondalite deposits state that considerable quantity of khondalite, with fractured zones, would be present in the QL area. Extraction of this khondalitic boulders, will be done, as per the approved mining plan, which states that all recorded deposits as ‘proved mineable reserves’ would not be mined within the lease period/ conceptual period of mine. Hence, there will be considerable reserves will still be available even after the lease period. Further, the anticipated quantity of saleable gravel, Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel is about 90% of the total quantity excavated, resulting in 10% waste.

4.2 Air Environment:

Flow chart for Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel production proposed at Marturu Quarry, is shown below:

4.2.1 Anticipated Impact(s). 4.2.1.1 Emission Inventory: At present there is no activity over the proposed lease area. There are no sources of gaseous pollutants. Processing of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel, within the lease area is not proposed. There will not be any crushing & grinding etc. within the quarry area. Hence Sulphur dioxide, nitrous oxides will not be contributed during the quarrying operations.

4.2.1.2Prediction of Fugitive Emissions in the Project: In the proposed Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel Quarry, it is envisaged to adopt wet drilling followed by controlled blasting for separation of boulders from the primary rock. Hence, there will be some nominal fugitive particulate matter emissions. However, the net increase in the Ground Level Concentrations, found to be negligible.

To control the fugitive emissions, the following mitigative measures will be followed:

Page | 76

4.2.2 Mitigation Measures:

During Mining ➢ Bore hole Drills of 32mm diameter will be used. Wet drilling is proposed. ➢ Personal protection equipment will be issued to drillers. ➢ Road in lease will be macadamized. ➢ Tipper trucks will be covered.

Greenbelt ➢ There are no major trees existing within the lease area, except some bushes and

thorny plants. ➢ The entire lease area, being a sheet rock, it is not possible for plantation, even in the

7.5m wide buffer zone/ safety zone of the QL area. ➢ It is proposed to take-up plantation, on both sides of approach road, and also in the

vacant government land, with trees of wide canopy like gulmohor, neem etc. ➢ There is some topsoil, scattered at places, within the lease area and will be utilized

for plantation purpose, on both sides of the approach road, to support trees.

4.3 Water Environment (surface & ground water)

4.3.1. Impact on hydrology, alteration in natural drainage etc. There are no surface sources viz. rivers/ lake within the proposed quarry lease area. There is only one (01) first order stream passing at a distance of 120m from the western boundary of the proposed area and is outside the lease area. This first order stream will have run-off only during monsoon. Apart from that, the nearest major water body to the proposed quarry lease area is Marturu Cheruvu at a distance of 1.10 KM SSE and Sarada River, at a distance of 3.50 km towards SSW. The present quarrying activity, will be limited to a maximum depth of 50m from top, which will still be above 45m from the surrounding ground level. Hence there will not be any kind of disturbance to ground water.

Dewatering of working pits will be required since there will be formation of one quarry pit. However, khondalite deposited pit water, doesn’t have any adverse impact on the health of animals or human beings. Also, ground water regime will not be disturbed.

Hydrology: Average rainfall: 1115 mm/year

4.3.2 Anticipated Impact: There are no surface sources and ground water regime will not be altered during mining. There would not be any impact if stored rainwater in the quarry pits is used for dust control.

Likelihood of washing-away of loose solid particles from the quarry lease area, into the nearby first order streams, originating from the proposed lease area, during monsoon, which ultimately flows into Marturu Cheruvu, located at a distance of 1.10 km towards SSE of the proposed quarry.

The nearest major water body to the proposed quarry lease area is Sarada River, at a distance of 3.50 km towards SSW, doesn’t have any significant impact on its hydrology, due to the fact that the flow pattern from the above proposed quarry lease area, doesn’t flow that side.

Page | 77

4.3.3 Mitigation Measures: I. With respect to the first order streams, it is proposed to construct garland drain,

gully plugs, using the boulders from the quarry, along the southern boundary of the quarry, to prevent soil erosion and consequent washing of loose particles into the first order stream, passing outside the quarry lease area on the west side.

II. It is proposed to provide silt traps, to the first order streams, before they join the second order stream.

III. Entry to un-authorized persons will be prohibited. IV. Ground water in khondalite deposit areas, will be free from fluoride. V. A Caution Board would be put at mine that mine pit water is unfit for drinking.

All well/hand pump water will be tested for fluoride and other parameters and suitability or otherwise will be displayed.

VI. In absence of alternate sources in nearby village, a water treatment plant will be installed at a hand pump for supply of drinking water. Treatment plant based on electrochemical method of treatment will be suitable.

VII. Unused/abandoned pits will be converted in to rain water harvesting structures so that ground water recharge is assured.

VIII. Mine water, if required for community drinking water supply, will be treated by a water treatment plant with following flow sheet.

- Pump

- Rapid sand filter

- Clear water tank storage after disinfection&

- Supply

4.3.4 Rainwater Harvesting and Plan for Water Conservation: Ground water recharge in not expected, as there is no scope for rain water collection.

Rain water collected on the quarry surface will flow down the hillock and will enter into the nearby streams. Hence, no accumulation of storm water is anticipated in the proposed quarry. However, as a responsible corporate citizen, we will do rain water harvesting pits in the nearby government land.

4.3.4.1 RAINWATER HARVESTING In the nearby villages open drains will be made to collect the storm waters for rain water harvesting. The designs and construction details that will be carried out, as follows:

4.4 Noise Environment: 4.4.1 Anticipated Impact: There are no industrial noise sources in the lease. There are no sensitive receptors like hospitals, schools, old age homes etc., within 1 km radial distance. Only source during mine operation would be drilling, blasting and movement of quarrying machinery. Drillers would be exposed to about 75-80 dB(A).

4.4.2 Mitigation Measures: ➢ In case of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel Quarrying, there will be

involvement of blasting, for extraction of boulders. Due to this, moderate noise pollution is anticipated, intermittently. The vibrations during drilling will be absorbed by the mother rock. Hence, there would not be any major adverse impact.

➢ Drillers would be given personal protection equipment. ➢ There are no structures over the lease

4.5 Biological Environment: 4.5.1 Anticipated Impact:

There is no sensitive fauna and flora or endangered species in 10 km radius of the lease. Lease is not a part of any forest area. This area is not known for any kind of biodiversity.

4.5.2 Mitigation Measures: Project proponent will carry out plantation in scientific way. It will choose local species in consultation with local forest department. Secondly State Fisheries department will be requested to carry out fish culture in abandoned mine pits.

Page | 79

4.6 Socioeconomic &Health: 4.6.1 Anticipated Impacts:

There will not be any displacement on account of this project because land has already been granted (in-principle) in favour of Sri. K. Surendranath. Land is non –agriculture and is not being put to any use.

4.6.2 Mitigation Measures: It is proposed to a) prefer employment to deserving local persons in mining related trades like loading/unloading of boulders/ waste, drilling etc. b) train residents of nearby villages, for harvesting rain water, and sanitation practices etc., c) training in fish culture also is one activity which will be useful to local population.

4.7 Mine wastes: 4.7.1 Anticipated Impacts:

The expected waste generation will be about 69,500 m3 during the plan period and is about 1,39,000 m3 during the lease period. This being predominantly weathered rock, it is expected not to cause any adverse impact on prevailing mine lease environment. Leachates from dumps will not contain any toxic material.

4.7.2 Mitigation Measures: During proposed mining, major quantity of the waste generated will be used for maintenance and strengthening of the approach road. Excess waste, if any, will be stored in an area of 0.45 Hectares, earmarked within the lease area.

Physical stability of dump will be ensured since it will be designed as per I.B.M. norms. A garland drain will be provided to collect runoff from the dumps.

Reclamation/Closure Plan: Lease area is 4.50 Ha. and only 2.950 Hectares will be opened during the lease period, for execution of this project.

All mineable reserves are not expected to be exhausted at the end of present lease period. Hence, as per the prevailing practice, the lessee will apply for the extension of the lease period, in the form of renewal.

Reclamation or closure of mine will be planned only, at the time of the final closure of the quarry. There would not be any municipal waste since any residential colony is not proposed over the lease.

4.8 Occupational Health Hazards

4.8.1 Physical Hazards 1. Traumatic injury remains a significant problem and ranges from the trivial to the

fatal. Common causes of fatal injury include rock fall, mobile equipment accidents, falls from height, entrapment and electrocution.

2. Noise is almost ubiquitous in mining. It is generated by drilling, blasting, materials handling, and ore transportation. Controlling noise has proven difficult in mining and noise-induced hearing loss remains common.

3. Whole body vibration is commonly experienced whilst operating mobile equipment, such as load –haul –dump units, trucks, scrapers and diggers. This

Page | 80

can cause or exacerbate pre-existing spinal disorders. Poorly maintained roads and vehicles contribute to the problem. Hand –arm vibration syndrome is also encountered with the use of vibrating tools such as air leg rock drills.

4.8.2 Biological Hazards The risk of tropical diseases such as malaria and dengue fever is substantial at some remote mining locations. Leptospirosis and ankylostomiasis were common in mines, but eradication of rats and improved sanitation has controlled these hazards effectively.

4.8.3 Ergonomic Hazards Although mining has become increasingly mechanized, there is still a substantial amount of manual handling. Cumulative trauma disorders continue to constitute the largest category of occupational disease in mining and often result in prolonged disability. Broken ground is often encountered and can cause ankle and knee injuries.

4.8.4 Psychological Hazards Drug and alcohol abuse has been a difficult issue to deal with in mining. Debate continues about how to measure psychophysical impairment. Nevertheless, mining operations commonly require the measurement of urinary drug metabolites and breath or blood alcohol on pre-employment and following accidents. Remote locations are common in mining with mine employees separated from their families and communities during work periods.

Expatriate placements are also common in mining and the associated psychosocial hazards have been reviewed recently. Unfortunately, fatal and severe traumatic injuries continue to occur in mining and often have a profound impact on morale. Post-traumatic stress disorders sometimes develop in witnesses, colleagues and managers. Registered managers often feel personally responsible for such injuries, even in the absence of negligence, and face the ordeal of government inquiries and legal proceedings.

4.8.5 Mitigation Measures: Mining activities are associated with dust emissions and can be hazardous to workers particularly during drilling, blasting and loading. Associated health hazards will be respiratory/ pulmonary and some injury to eye may be likely. Therefore health status before commencement of mining (pre-employment medical check-up), record of each worker will be maintained. A competent doctor shall be engaged for bi-annual health evaluation during pre-mining and mining period. Data will be accrued and achieved as per the format mentioned below.

4.9 Traffic Density: Maximum saleable production is 1,25,100 m3 / Annum of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel. Considering an operating calendar of 300 days per year, the average saleable production will be about 417 m3 per day, which is about 1043 Tons/ day (bulk density of 2.5 Tons/m3). Considering an average carrying capacity of truck as 17 Tons, the number of truck trips will be about 61-62 trips per day. Further, considering an operating hours of 10 hours per day, about 6-7 trips will be added to

the existing traffic of 18 Heavy vehicles per hour, on the nearby Makavaram-Marturu Road.

4.9.1 Anticipated Impact: The impact on traffic due to the proposed quarry has been divided into three stretches viz. a) between the quarry & crusher unit; b) between the Crusher Unit to the Makavaram-Marturu Road and the Makavaram-Marturu Road itself. a) Impact on the approach road between Quarry & Crusher Unit: This road, is an existing WBM road connecting the proposed quarry area to the crusher site and this will be exclusively used by the proposed quarry and other quarries being hired by the proponent. Hence it may not cause any significant impact on this approach road. b) Impact on the Road between Crusher Unit to Makavaram-Marturu Road: The Crusher unit, is processing the boulders from their existing quarries and also purchased from other sources nearby. The production from the proposed quarry will be an add-on to the existing capacity. The installed capacity of the Crusher unit is about 300 TPH and considering an operating schedule of 10 hours per day, the anticipated output will be about 3,000 Tons/Day. Considering an average truck capacity of 15 Tons/ Trip, the expected no. of trips will be about 200 trips per day and with an operating schedule of 10 hours per day, the anticipated increase in volume will be about 20 Trips per hour. The PCU factor for a 15 Ton tipper/trailer is about 4.5 (as per IRC), which will eventually result in a traffic volume of 90 PCU/ Hour. c) Impact on Traffic on Makavaram-Marturu Road: It is assumed that, 50 of the material will be sent towards Makavaram side, and the balance 50% will be sent towards Marturu side. Hence it may not have a significant impact on the existing traffic. Considering the road condition in Stretch a) and b) above, it may get damaged due to plying of 15 tonner tipper over a span of 0.5 km and 0.3 km respectively on a WBM road. Here it is important to mention that Makavaram-Marturu Road is capable to accommodate the incremental traffic density of 200 tippers a day, i.e. about 100 trips/ day each towards Makavaram Side and Marturu side.

4.9.2 Mitigation Measures Traffic will be regulated using flagging. The trucks carrying the materials will be covered with tarpaulins, to avoid any spillage along the haulage road. All tippers/ trucks will be periodically checked to confirm exhaust norms. Traffic signages will be provided. A flagger will manage traffic at convergence point of the approach road and national highway to avoid possible mishap. 4.10 Soil 4.10.1 Anticipated Impact As such there is not much top soil/ OB is expected to be generated during the lease period, due to the fact that the proposed quarry is under 1st renewal and was

operated during the previous lease period. The top soil, if any generated during the present lease period, will be used for plantation purposes on either side of the approach road. Also the gravel will be sold to the construction industry in the nearby towns and for road works.

They have not caused any adverse impact on prevailing mine lease environment. Leachates from dumps will not contain any toxic material.

During proposed mining 1,39,000 m3 of mineral rejects/ waste material will be generated, during the lease period. This, mainly being a weathered tock, will be used for strengthening of the approach road and other nearby village roads. Excess quantity, if any, will be stored over 0.450 hectares of land within the lease area and will be used for backfilling of the quarry pit. The dump height and other measures will be as per IBM norms.

4.10.2 Mitigation Measures A garland drain will be provided to collect runoff from the dumps. Also a storm water drain of 1m x 1m will be provided along the lease boundary so that runoff during rainy season cannot flow in to nearby area. This water will be collected in the quarry pit and utilized during mining operations.

There will be no potential of eroding in to and degrading any surface water.

Sum up: ✓ Mining activity will lead to creation of benches, on an extent of 2.950 Hectares,

with maximum cutting of 50 m, at the end of lease period. ✓ Environmental impacts can be managed by implementation of management

plan. ✓ Mining activity will create direct and indirect employment. ✓ Though interception of ground water is not involved. ✓ Mining activity will lead to create green belt. ✓ Up to some extent socioeconomic needs of village will be addressed through

project activities.

CHAPTER 5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

5.1 General: Present proposal is for Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel Mining from 4.50 Hectares of non-forest government land. The proponents, Sri. K. Surendranath, have got the in-principle grant for 1st renewal, in the form of Letter of Intent (LOI), from the State Government. Sri. K. Surendranath’s officials are professional mining personnel. As per regulations they had engaged an RQP (Recognized Qualified Person) to prepare a mining plan for approval by Dept. of Mines & Geology. No choice for alternative for site is available due to identification and allotment of mineral lease to project proponent by the State Government.

5.2 Site Studies: Both Sri. K. Surendranath’s officials and the RQP have inspected the site and studied the occurrence of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel deposits at the site and other geological features in order that the same could be mined safely, economically and in an environment friendly manner. Mapping of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel was completed. Then section wise details of reserves were worked.

There is no mining being carried-over over the lease at present, except some test pits.

It was decided that it would be appropriate to opt for “Open Cast Semi-Mechanized Method” which would enable economical mining, at a maximum saleable production of 1,25,100 m3 per Annum of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel, with an average saleable production of 1,25,100 m3 per annum of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel.

5.3 Alternate Method of Mining: Other alternatives for method of opencast mining like manual mining would be unscientific and economically not viable. Use of surface-miner equipment is not possible for Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel mining.

CHAPTER 6 Environmental Monitoring Programme

6.1 Environmental Monitoring Programme: Water Quality Monitoring: It has been decided that proposed lease being a khondalite deposit area water quality in pits, nearby wells and hand pumps may need not be regularly monitored. However, as a precautionary measure, water quality from the nearby sources will be verified and mitigation measures (if any required) will be implemented accordingly. Water quality measurement will be quarterly. Particulate Matter: PM emissions from fugitive sources will be quantified by measurement of ambient air quality during drilling and blasting by a competent agency. Dust control by water sprinkling will be ensured. AAQ monitoring in lease will be monitored on a quarterly basis, during active mining. Noise: A standard noise meter will be issued to mine manager who will measure noise levels and maintain a record. Occupational Health: Health record of miners will be entrusted to a registered medical doctor. He will maintain record as per industrial/occupational hygiene requirements. 6.2 Monitoring Programme:

CHAPTER 7: ADDITIONAL STUDIES

7.1 Public Consultation: This is the draft EIA report, prepared in line with the Terms of Reference (TOR) and additional Terms of Reference, issued by State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Andhra Pradesh, following the SEAC (State Expert Appraisal committee) meeting. This report will be circulated prior to public hearing under the auspices of APPCB (Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board). Issues raised during public hearing will be addressed in the final EIA/EMP Report. 7.2 Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan: Any mines have dangers or risk like fires, inundation, failure of machinery, which need to be investigated, addressed and mitigated. Disaster management is formulated with an aim of taking precautionary steps to avert disaster and also to take such action after the disaster which limits the damage to the minimum. Preliminary Risk assessment is based on the philosophy that “Prevention is better than cure”. Mining operations may be carried to the utmost safety but there is always some element of danger or risk in it. No major disaster is envisaged. Only minor accidents may take place. No perennial source of surface water is present in the ML area. Blasting in ore body will be proposed. The mining operations will be carried out under supervision of statutory personnel’s as per provisions of MCR 1960, MCDR 1988, Mines Rules 1955, Mines Act 1952 & strictly following safety aspects as per MMR 1961 monitored by Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS). The lease area does not come under active seismic zone. Land slide, subsidence is not expected in view of opencast mining. No river is near the applied area and hence flood is not expected. Since opencast mining will be proposed, problems related with underground mines are not applicable. In case of eventuality, first aid will be given by the competent authority initially to the injured person. The competent person/ Mines manager or Mining Engineer will give notice of accident as per Rule-23 of Mines Act-1952. The persons/competent authorities named above will be responsible for co-ordinations between management district authorities / DGMS etc. Regarding general safety as per Rule-181 of MMR 1961, “No person shall negligently or willfully do anything likely to endanger life or limb in the mine, or negligible or will fully omit to do anything necessary for the safety of the mine or of the persons employed there in”. The workers will be provided with protective foot wear and safety helmets.

The complete mining operation will be carried out under the management control and direction of a qualified Mine Manager holding a Second Class Manager’s Certificate of competency to manage a metalliferous mine granted by the DGMS. The DGMS have been regularly issuing standing orders, model standing orders and circulars to be followed by the mine management in case of disaster, if any. Moreover, mining staff will be sent to refresher courses from time to time to keep them alert. However, following natural/industrial hazards may occur during normal operation.

➢ Accident due to explosives; ➢ Accident due to heavy mining equipment; and ➢ Sabotage in case of magazine.

In order to take care of above hazard/disaster, the following control measures will be adopted;

➢ All safety precautions and provisions of Mine Act, 1952, Metalliferous Mines Regulation, 1961 and Mines Rules, 1955 will be strictly followed during all mining operations;

➢ Entry of unauthorized persons will be prohibited; ➢ Firefighting and first aid provisions in the mines office complex and mining area ➢ Provisions of all the safety appliances such as safety boot, helmets, goggles etc.

will be made available to the employees and regular check for their use; ➢ Training and refresher courses for all the employees working in hazardous

premises; Under Mines vocational training rules all employees of mines shall have to undergo the training at a regular interval;

➢ Working of mine, as per approved mine plan and regularly updating the mine plans;

➢ Cleaning of mine faces will be regularly done; ➢ Handling of explosives, charging and blasting will be carried out by competent

persons only; ➢ Provisions of magazine at a safe place with fencing and necessary security

arrangement; ➢ Regular maintenance and testing of all mining equipment as per manufacturer’s

guidelines; ➢ Suppression of dust on the haulage roads; ➢ Adequate safety equipment will be provided at explosive magazine; and ➢ Increasing the awareness of safety and disaster through competitions, posters

and other similar drivers.

For any type of above disaster, a rescue team will be formed by training the mining staff with specialized training. 7.2.1 Hazard Identification and Their Analysis The identification of hazards has been done considering these operations. The hazards have been covered under three broad activities that are part of the proposed surface mining operations: winning the mineral, transporting the mineral, and processing the mineral. Mining is a hazardous operation and consists of considerable environmental, health and safety risk to miners. Unsafe conditions in mines lead to a number of accidents and cause loss and injury to human lives, damage to property, interruption in production etc. The following section presents the different hazards in surface mines, their precautions and statistics of accidents in mines.

Page | 89

7.2.1.1 Blasting Most of the accidents from blasting occur due to the projectiles, as they may sometime go even beyond the danger zone, mainly due to overcharging of the shot-holes as a result of certain special features of the local ground. Flying rocks are encountered during initial and final blasting operations. Vibrations also lead to damage of properties in nearby areas. Dust and noise are also problems commonly encountered blasting operations.

7.2.1.2 Overburden The overburden dumps may cause landslides. High overburden dumps created at the quarry edge may cause sliding of the overburden dump or may cause failure of the pit slope due to excessive loading, thereby causing loss of life and property. Siltation of surface water may also cause run-off from overburden dumps.

7.2.1.3 Heavy Machinery Most of the accidents during transport of dumpers proclaim and dozers and other heavy vehicles are often attributable to mechanical failure and human errors.

7.2.1.4 Storage of Explosive The applicant will take license from controller of explosive, to store explosive in magazine. The storage of explosives will be done in accordance with the Indian Explosive Act, 1984 and the Rules made there under. The explosives will be supplied by the explosive van of 10 ton capacity approved by Chief Controller of Explosive, Nagpur. The main hazard associated with the storage, transport and handling of explosives is fire and explosion.

7.2.1.5 Fuel Storage Most of the HEMM will operate on diesel. However, no major storage is envisaged at the mine Lase area. A diesel tanker will be provided for the crawler mounted machines operating in the mine.

7.2.1.6 Water Logging Water logging in the mine site have been avoided by adopting following measures;

➢ Correct marking of position of water bodies with their highest flood level and keeping the mine protected by suitable bunds

➢ Water from the surface water bodies shall not enter in the mines; ➢ Draining of mine water by suitable capacity pumps;

7.2.2 Safety Measures 7.2.2.1 Safety Measures at the Proposed Open Cast mining Project ➢ The opencast mine has been planned for working with shovel dumper system

which requires proper benching not only for slope stability but also for movement of dumpers and other heavy machinery. The inclination of the quarry

sides at the final stage i.e. at the dip most point will not exceed 45o to the horizontal. (This angle is measured between the line joining the toe of the bottom most bench to the crest of the top most bench and the horizontal line).

➢ The quarries will be protected by garland drains around the periphery for storm water drainage;

➢ A minimum safe distance of 100 m will be kept between the surface edge of the quarry and the nearest public building, roads etc. When the surface edge of the quarry approaches within a limit of 200 m from any road, public building special permission from DGMS will be taken to conduct controlled blasting to prevent damage/injury to public life and property;

➢ All mining operations both within the quarry and outside will be conducted as per the conditions laid down by DGMS and under strict supervision of competent persons appointed under Metalifierous Mine Regulation Act, 1961.

7.2.2.2 Measures Suggested to Avoid Accidents due to Blasting ➢ The blasting operation shall be supervised by a competent person appointed for

the purpose;

➢ The blasting operation shall be strictly conducted as per the guideline given in metalliferous mine regulation, 1961;

➢ Demarcation of danger zone area falling within a radius of 300 m from the blast site;

➢ All employee and equipment shall be cleared from the blast area and removed to a safe location prior to any scheduled blasting;

➢ To prevent unauthorized entry, guards shall be posted at all access points leading to the blast area; and

➢ Audible signals such as sirens, whistles, etc. shall be used to warn employees, visitors and neighbors about the scheduled blasting event.

➢ Only controlled blasting will be done to minimize damage to nearest structure

7.2.2.3 Measures to Prevent Failure of Overburden Dump ➢ In flat area where the dumping operations have come to an end, the slope angle

should be flattened by about 15o lower than the angle of repose which varies

from the site to site but not less than 25o.

➢ Planting vegetation as early as possible over the overburden dump slopes;

➢ Provide drainage channels along the overburden dump toe for additional protection, in such a way that a distance of 15 m should be maintained left between the overburden dump and the bench; and

➢ If a mine is abandoned, the bench and overburden dump should be separated from each other by digging a trench of 6 to 10 m width.

7.2.2.4 Measures to Prevent Accidents due to Trucks and Dumpers ➢ All transportation within the main working area should be carried out under the

direct supervision and control of the management;

➢ The vehicles must be maintained in good repairs and checked thoroughly at least once a week by a competent person authorized for this purpose by the management;

➢ Broad signs should be provided at each and every turning point specially for the guidance of the drivers at night;

➢ To avoid dangers while reversing the trackless vehicles, especially at the embankment and tripping points, all areas for reversing of lorries should, as for as possible, be made man free, and there should be a light and sound device to indicate reversing of trucks; and

➢ A statuary provision of the fence, constant education, training etc. will go a long way in reducing the incidence of such accidents.

CHAPTER 8 PROJECT BENEFITS

8.1 Project Benefits Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel deposits at Marturu area are of good quality. It has been being extracted by many lease holders, for quite some time. However, there is a very good market potential for Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel from nearby Vizianagaram, Anakapalli and Visakhapatnam cities, from the construction industry. The proposed quarry lease area, is non- productive and unsuitable for agriculture.

Therefore mining will be in the interest of State revenue and of the people around. Direct and indirect employment to locals is assured.

● Improvement in Physical Infrastructure:

1. Implementation of time bound corporate social responsibility will lead to installation of drinking water plant in the nearby villages.

2. A provision for implementation of fish culture activity (optional) will lead to improve the skills of local needy people.

● Employment: Direct employment to 20 persons are expected. Out of which 15 persons will be of semiskilled and unskilled category and will be sourced from nearby villages. Indirect employment to 20-25 people is expected.

● Land Use There will be a small change in Land Use of the area due to the proposed mining activity. But Project activity will lead local socioeconomic benefit which will attract change in land use by developing small shops in the area, may be chance of developing better household infrastructures etc.

belt is more than 100 km in width in Northern part and appears down to less than 20km in the south, it has broad actuated trend with west ward convexity. The NNE -SSW trend in the southern part of the belt changes NE-SW in the North, EGMB is divided into 3 longitudinal Zones.

While in the Northern parts in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram & Visakhapatnam District the central Khondalite Zone occupies major part of the area, whereas western Charnockite Zone occurs in the Southern part. The Rocks in this belt and represented High Grade Granulite facies of Metamorphism and suffered by complex deformation.

The Charnockite Group consists of Acid, Intermediate, and Basic Varieties. The Migmatite Group consists various rock types including Leptynite, Porphyroblastic Granitoid Gneiss, Garnet –Biotite- Hypersthene Gneiss, Quartzo Felspathic Mobilisates and other associated Hybrid Rocks.

In Visakhapatnam District the EGMB is represented by vide ranges of Litho Units viz. Charnokites, Khondalites, two Pyroxene Granulites, Migmatites, Leptynites and Intrusive Porphyroblastic Charnokites. Large enclaves of Charnokites, Khondalites and Meta-Basic rocks occur within Migmatites, which are largely seen in the area lying between R. Vamsadhara and coast line.

➢ Local Geology: Anakapalli and its surrounding area expose a variety of Rock forming a part of Migmatite Zone of the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt.Prominent among them area Massive Charnockites (Acidic, Basic & Intermediate varieties) Leptynites, Granitoid Gnesis etc. These Massive Charnockites are being Quarried in Anakapalli Mandal in Visakhapatnam District. These Charnockite are Grey to Greasy in Colour medium to Coarse Grained with Quartz, Plagioclase Feldspar, Pyroxenes, Biotite and Iron Oxides. These Charnockites are best suited for Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel as they have low permeability, medium to height bearing capacity and good foundation characteristics. The Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel produced in the area cater to the needs of civil construction in and around Visakhapatnam for infrastructural works, construction for new projects etc.

➢ Topography of the site: The area is located on Toposheet No. 65 K/14. The Quarry Lease area is Topographically Highly Elevated area. The Maximum Elevation is 216 M and the Minimum Elevation is 126 M. therefore the relief is 90 m. Notable Water bodies either seasonal or perennial are not present nearby area which may cause the inundation of Quarry. However, Suitable storm Water garland Drainage system will be adopted to divert the Rain Water into natural Drainage. Benches and Haul Roads will be sloped in such a way to allow the Rain Water into garland Drains. The Hillock covered with modest vegetation, while the Quarry area is covered with thorny bushes and shrubs. Ground nut, Rice, Cashew and Mangoes are the commercial crops that are cultivated in the nearby plain areas.

Ldn 59.08 57.19 59.30

Sources of noise would be during drilling, blasting and moving quarry equipment.

Water: There are no surface sources viz. rivers/ lake in the lease area, except one (01) seasonal (non-perennial) first order stream, originating outside the lease area, passing at about 120m on western side. The average annual rainfall in Visakhapatnam District is about 1115-10Mm per year. As per the Ground Water Brochure prepared by Central Ground Water Board, GoI, the average ground water levels in Anakapalli Mandal Region is about 5-10m BGL (Pre-Monsoon) and 2-5m BGL (Post-Monsoon).

The ground water quality in and around the proposed lease area is slightly alkaline, with the pH levels ranging from 7.7 to 8.3. The total hardness is ranging from 196 to 530 mg/liter as CaCO3, whereas the Total Dissolved Solids content is varying between 551 to 885 mg/liter. The fluoride levels are ranging from 0.14 to 0.82 mg/liter and the nitrate levels are varying between 3.2 to 6.2 mg/liter. The sulphate levels are ranging from 76.0 to 212.0 mg/liter and the chloride levels are varying between 155.0 to 267.0 mg/liter. In general, the ground water quality in the study area, confirms to the permissible limits of IS:10500-2012 (Drinking Water Specification).

Solid waste: During the mining plan period, the mineral rejects are estimated to be 69,500 CuM and for the lease period, the total mineral rejection will be about 1,39,000 CuM.

11.6 Impacts: Land: There is no top soil, in the proposed lease area. No agriculture is being carried-out in the proposed lease area. There are some existing quarry pits. Based on site topography, no pit will be made during the operational phase of the quarry. Instead, benches will be made from North side to South side. Also, the proposed area is at a higher elevation than the surrounding areas, by about 40-45 meters. Hence, there would not be any major adverse impact on topography/drainage or on land use or agriculture. The external appearance will continue to be as it is. Geological records on these deposits state that considerable quantity (probable) of Road Metal and Building Stone would be present in the pits after extracting during the lease period, as per approved mining plan.

mineable reserves would be mined till the conceptual period of mine. However, probable and possible mineral reserves may allow for continuation of mining, after the present lease period. Hence backfilling or reclamation of the mined out area is not proposed. Thus, mined out area will be left as it is, till mining starts again

Air: Ground level concentrations as per the model for dispersion of air pollutants for lease area source show that there would not be any adverse impact on ambient air quality.

Water: There would not be any impact on aquatic environment including hydrology, drainage or quality because a) there is no drain in the lease, b) ground water table will not be intercepted, c) dewatering of pits will not be required and d) Gravel, Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel pit water is suitable for irrigation. Regular monitoring for fluoride content is required.

Noise: Sources during mine operation would be drilling and controlled blasting. Drillers would be exposed to about 75-80 dB(A). In this case, controlled sequential blasting will be carried-out to reduce noise and vibration. Pit-walls would absorb the vibrations due to drilling and blasting. Hence, there would not be any adverse impact. There are no structures over the lease area, as well as within 1 km radius of the quarry lease area.

Biological: There is no sensitive fauna and flora or endangered species within 10 km radius of the lease. Lease is part of non-forest area. Also, this area is not known for any special kind of biodiversity. Project proponent will carry out plantation in scientific way. He will choose locally suitable species in consultation with local forest department.

Socioeconomic & health: There will not be any displacement on account of this project because land has already been notified in favour of the Project Proponent. It is proposed to a) prefer employment to deserving local persons in mining related trades like loading/unloading of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel, waste handling, drilling etc., b) train residents of nearby villages for harvesting rain water, and sanitation practices etc., c) employment of local people for works related to development & maintenance of greenbelt and afforestation.

11.8 Plantation: The proposed quarry area and its buffer zone, has a rocky outcrop and hence it is not possible to take-up any plantation in the 7.5 m wide safety zone. However, it is proposed to take-up plantation, on either side of the approach road and also in the adjoining government land. It is proposed to plant about 500 locally suitable species, as part of green belt development. One cubic meter pits will be made on either side of the approach road and in the vacant govt. land. These pits will be filled with top soil from lease area. Refuse or garbage will be added as per availability. Growth in the first year will be observed. Species will be chosen depending on availability and suitability to local soil conditions.

11.9 Occupational Health & Safety Measures: The employees working in the quarrying activity will be provided with suitable personnel protective equipment (PPE) like safety shoes, dust masks, helmets, etc. Also, they will be subjected to annual health check-up, particularly for hearing related illness and respiratory disorders. Protective shelters for workers with treated R.O. Water, First Aid facilities, Dining facility etc. will be provided.

Rs. 1,00,000/- per camp per annum

11.11 Economics of project: Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel deposits in the proposed quarry area, are suitable for civil construction works. It has high demand in the nearby areas. The proposed land has a rocky patch and is non-productive and unsuitable for agriculture. Therefore mining will be in the interest of State revenue and of the people around. Direct and indirect employment to locals is assured. Lease is a rocky land in Non-Forest Govt. Land. It has some wild shrubs and thorny bushes. There will not be any kind of rain water accumulation, due to bench formation. Hence, there would not any damage to environmental quality. Initiation of mining by Sri. K. Surendranath, will improve revenue to the state without deterioration in environmental quality. On the contrary population in nearby villages will become aware of importance of potable water quality and sanitation.

Openings for indirect employment to locals in plantation, loading/ unloading operations etc. are possible.

Further, as per Clause No. (5) of the said Notification, “The leases not operative for three years or more and leases which have got environmental clearance as on 15th January 2016, shall not be counted for calculating the area of cluster, but shall be included in the Environmental Management Plan and the Regional Environmental Management Plan”.

In line with the EIA Notification 2006 (incl. its amendments), the proponent viz. Sri. K. Surendranath, had applied for Environmental Clearance from State level Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Andhra Pradesh, and as per the provisions of EIA Notification (Amendment) dated 01st July 2016, the Cluster Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is being prepared for jointly taking-up the Environmental Protection Measures, for the kind perusal of SEIAA and SEAC, Andhra Pradesh.

2. Production Details Out of Twenty Four (24) leases, only Three (03) existing leases, with a total extent of 17.63 Hectares, fall under cluster. Including the present lease of the proponent, Sri. K. Surendranath, the total extent falling under cluster will be about 22.13 Hectares. Based on the quarry plan approved by Dept. of Mines & Geology, the production proposed in the quarry of Sri. K. Surendranath, is about 1,25,100 CuM per Annum (Max.) of Road Metal, Building Stone & Gravel. The anticipated production from other quarries in the cluster (Prorata according to the extent), is as under:

All units in CuM/ Annum

Description Total Extent Production Capacity (CuM Per Annum)

Present proposal of Proponent 4.50 Ha. 1,25,100

Other quarries in the cluster 17.63 Ha. 4,90,115

Max. output from the cluster 22.13 Ha. 6,15,215

Maximum Annual Production (in Tons) @ 2.5 T/m3 15,38,038 Tons/Annum

No. of operating days per annum 300 Days

Average Production per Day 5,127 Tons/ Day

3. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE CLUSTER Environmental impact of the cluster as a whole: a. Impact on air environment: i. Dust due to dispatch tractors /Lorries: All mines estimated production per day (working of 300 days a year) is about 5,127 Tons per day. Assuming an average carrying capacity of the truck as about 15 Tons per trip, no. of trips required is about 342 Nos. per day (5,127 Tons/ 15 Tons per Trip) and considering an operating hours of 10 hours per day, the approx. no. of trips is about 34 to 35 trips per hour.

ii. Exhaust fumes due to equipment in the cluster: The exhaust fumes will be generated due to the above trucks due to cluster operations apart from the in-quarry operations. The impact due to in-quarry operations were already described in the respective EMP. Since there is sufficient gap between each truck's movement and the area being an open area with enough space between the quarries, the accumulation of exhaust fumes in one place will not take place.

b. Impact on water environment: The area does not fall under any major catchment of any river or water course. Therefore the impact of cluster on water environment is not envisaged.

c. Impact of noise on persons working: The additional impact apart from that of the in-quarry impact is only due to trucks plying o n the common roads. As explained above there will be only one truck that will move in every 3 to 4 minutes which will carry dispatch material of all the quarries. There may not be any major impact of noise on persons working in the quarries due to the trucks moving out.

d. Impact due to vibration: Apart from the vibration impacts predicted in the respective EMPs there will not be any additional impact due to vibrations due to cluster operations conducted at the same time. Also, there will be mild blasting operations, in all the above quarries, at staggered timings, to reduce the cumulative impact on the surrounding environment. Hence, there will not be any significant impact due to vibrations.

e. Land degradation: Apart from the land degradation that is envisaged in the respective quarry plans, there will not be any additional land degradation due to cluster operations.

f. Safety of persons: Due to increase in movement of trucks on the common road, the accident proneness will increase to the persons moving on the road for quarry works.

4. Environmental Protection Measures

The individual Quarry Lease Holders shall be responsible for the day to day activities of their respective quarries. However, they should collectively take-up the activities proposed for Environmental Protection, which are summarized as below:

Topsoil Management: Beneficial microbes are present in the topsoil of quarry areas. Hence, the topsoil (if available) will be removed at the time of mining and will be used for Afforestation works.

Land Restoration/ Reclamation: Land restoration or reclamation of the area is very essential in any mining industry. Proper measures adopted during restoration will control most of the adverse environmental impacts of mining and also improve the aesthetic beauty of the area. Due to the Mining activities in this area the profile of the ground will change due to formation of benches/ pits. At the end of the mining operations, all solid wastes generated will be used in back filling of quarry pits in order to bring back original contour of the terrain as for as possible (wherever applicable). The separately staked topsoil will be used to spread over on the compacted back filled area in order to facilitate the re-vegetation process, which in turn controls silt flow towards the downstream.

Programme of Afforestation/ Development of Greenbelt: Enriched plantation will be adopted on top flat area & sloping area. It is proposed to develop vegetation all-round the quarry area (wherever possible) and also in the non-mineralized lease area. In addition, the place around the haulage road, outside the lease area after obtaining necessary permissions from concerned authorities. It is proposed to plant Neem, Pongamia, Neredu, Mango, Patti, Seethaphalam, Eucalyptus etc. of 1500 Nos. to be proposed for first year itself of tall & fruit yielding native species will be planted to

create a microclimate. Proper care will be taken for protection & growth of these saplings. The Bio-fuel saplings like pongamia, neem etc. are also proposed to plant around the quarry area. It is also proposed to dibble the grasses & other hemata seeds to stabilize the dumps.

In order to minimize the impact of mining on environmental components outside the quarry lease area, a buffer zone/ greenbelt zone of 7.5m width will be established around the quarry lease area for safety purpose. The greenbelt will act as a barrier to trap the suspended dust particles and also suppresses air pollutants and noise. It is also important to create a green belt with shrubs, medium & tall trees (Nerium, Curcus, Subable, Thespesicia, Neem etc..,) of fast growing species to hasten the process of greening the area. It is suggested that the areas which are not planted haul roads will be planted with the species.

The degree of pollution attenuation by a green belt depends on its height and width, foliage surface area and density. The main objective of green belt is as follows.

1. Mitigation of impacts due to fugitive emissions caused by vehicles 2. Attenuation of noise levels 3. Ecological restoration 4. Creation of aesthetic environment

Wild Life Protection: Presently, there are no wild animals spotted in the core zone. This quarry area does not form corridor for any of the major faunal species. The common species found are Rats, Rabbits & Reptiles etc., only. However, the practice of afforestation programme and other control measures shall bring greenery to the area and also the vegetation of mixed species and availability of water will form a natural habitat for these wild animals and helps in conservation of the flora and fauna of the area. It is proposed to erect fence & dig trench around the lease area to prevent the entry of cattle & other wild life. Suitable species like Agave, Euphorbia, cuttings will be planted on the mound.

Management of socio-economic activities: The quarry industry will improve the economic status of the people and the area. Continued Quarry activities, will benefit the local people due to provision of more infrastructural facilities provided by the mining industry. Adequate facility for drinking water, health, education, recreation and employment is provided to the workers.

Natural Vegetation: Area does not support good vegetation. The existing species are stunted growth due to lack of required soil & also moisture & there are grassy blanks here & there.

Disaster Management plan: Disaster management plan is envisaged with a goal to prevent hazards and accidents at work places by careful design, operation, maintenance and inspection of the mining machineries & equipments. All the quarry activities will be in accordance with the approved mining plan and directives of directorate general of mines safety. In future all the eligible employees will be sent to refresher courses from time to time on safety issues. The control measures will be adopted to take care of hazards/ disasters that may occur during quarry operation. Safety awareness through competitions, posters & organizing safety weeks every year fire fighting & first aid provisions will be provided in mines office & quarry lease area. All safety appliances are made available to all the staff.

Mitigation Measures to prevent accidental fire: To protect the vegetation & also to protect the breeding & hibernating sites of the fauna in the core area & buffer zone from the accidental fire a 6-12Mt wide area along the boundaries of all the quarry leases will be cleared, cleaned & burn the litter well in advanced as a precautionary measure to prevent accidental fire. Fire watchers at the cost of Project Proponents will be appointed to extinguish the accidental fire if any in the buffer zone
