(ii) (iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted No alternate site is considered as the quarry lease is a site specific activity. In the present case, the collector has granted the quarry lease to the owner for the quarry of Stone. As for as the environmental considerations are concerned the area is away from the human habitation, in the Government land, free from forest. This quarry activity does not affect the water table of the area. Limited machinery will be required for mining of Stone and limited transport vehicles are needed for shipment of produced material. Size or Magnitude of operation. The quarry lease area 2.14 Ha in which the working area is 1.47 ha and the average rate of production of Stone is about tons per day that too with blasting etc. Hence the size or magnitude of operation is very small. Project Description with Process details (a schematic diagram/ Flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given The Stone quarrying will be carried out mainly by semi mechanized with the use of quarrying equipments and finally transported through trucks, tippers etc. to the end users. Drilling: Drilling will not be required for exploration work but jack hammer drilling may be used for blasting purpose to break the hard rock in this quarry plan period. 10

7 Blasting: Blasting will be done by licensed contractor hence magazine is not required in the mining site. Type of explosives used / to be used Not applicable. Storage of explosive (like capacity and type of explosive magazine) As blasting will be done by licensed contractor, hence magazine is not required in quarry area. (iv) Raw Material/ Consumables Required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final product, mode of transport of raw material and finished product No any raw material/ consumables are required. The Stone produced from the mine and transported through trucks, tippers etc. to the end users. (v) Availability of water, its source, Energy/power requirement and source should be given As much as about 10 KLPD water will be required for mining operations including dust suppression along haul road/mine faces, cleaning, washing, and drinking as well as plantation. Energy/power is not required as the mining activities are carried out in day time only. Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their management/ disposal About 10% sub grade materials will be generated. This sub grade material is nothing but the crushed and broken pieces of Stone. Hence it is proposed to stack this sub grade material in a suitable place. Selection of Dumping Site The stacking of the sub grade material generated during mining is proposed in the mine area itself at a suitable place. 11

(iv) Social infrastructure available It is expected that the project will lead to much needed employment opportunities in the villages which will contribute to the socio-economic development of this area. 5) PLANNING IN BRIEF Planning Concept (type of industries, facilities, transportation etc) town and country Planning / Development authority classification: The Stone quarrying activity has no other concept except quarrying and transportation of mined out material to end-users. Population Projection: Since there will be hardly any influx of people from outside in the region, hence there will not by any impact on the population projection of the region 12

9 accept the normal increase in population. (i) Land Use Planning Area of Stone quarrying is 2.14 Ha. The area under excavation will be only 1.47 Ha while for plantation the required area will be ha along lease boundary. It is non forest; Government land situated near village Rupapali thinly populated village. (ii) Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (Physical & Social): Since there will not be any major influx of people from outside, in this region because of the project, no adverse effect on physical and social infrastructure like roads, electricity, water supplies etc are anticipated. 6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE (i) Industrial Area (Processing Area) There is no proposal for any infrastructure development. (ii) Residential There is no plan for development of residential area in the region. (iii) Green Belt Afforestation will be taken up in 0.67 ha over the soil dump along the lease boundary in first five year plan period. About 1675 saplings of the local species will be planted in the proposed area in during this plan period. (iv) (v) Social Infrastructure It is expected that the project will lead to much needed employment opportunities in the villages which will contribute to the socio-economic development of this area. Drinking Water Management (Source and Supply of Water) The drinking water requirement for personnel working at the site will be met from the dug wells and bore wells. 13

10 (vi) Sewerage System In view of the personals engaged in the project the movable type of sewerage system may be installed /deployed nearby the mine area. This may avoid polluting the land / water / air of the area. (vii) Industrial Waste Management No industrial waste will be generated hence management not required. (viii) Power Requirement & Supply / Source Not required. 7. Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R) Plan Not required as the area is away from village and free from habilitation. 8. Project Schedule and Cost Estimates Total expenses estimated about 20 lakhs. Recommendations The quarry of Stone and allied activities has no impacts on the surrounding environment. Moreover based on development of this project certain positive impact will be there on the nearby village population in terms of employment generation etc. Hence this project may be cleared and clearances accorded.
