Above ground buildings, structures or earthworks including linear structures, cut and fill or excavations Details thereof (with approximate quantities/ rates, wherever possible) with source of information data Due to the mining activity there will be a permanent change in the topography and land use of the mining area. After completion of mining, lower part of the pit will be developed as water body. Plantation will be carried out in 7.5 m zone as well as near office etc. and top benches of the mined out pit. It is an existing non-operational mine, which will require Clearance of existing scanty vegetation in the form of scrubs. Since the land identified for the project site at present is devoid of any residences or other structures, there will not be clearance of any building/structures. The lower benches of mined out pit will be converted into water reservoir and thick plantation will be carried out on top benches and 7.5 m wide safety zone around the mine lease area. Since the basalt flows are exposed on the surface and number of quarries are working side by side indicate evidence of basalt deposition. Some wells and tube wells drilled for water shows continuation of deposition of more than 20 m. As such further prospecting is not required in the area. Hence the exploration has not been carried out in the area by the applicant. t Applicable (Mine Office, Store, First Aid Centre, Rest shelter, blaster shade, Approach Road already created within mine lease area near proposed crusher) Crusher construction is proposed within mining lease area over an area of 0.15 ha. Since it is an existing non-operational mine stone mine and also the land is free from any structure, therefore, no demolition work is involved during implementation and operation phases of the project. Demolition of any structure shall be done at the end of mine life as per the Mine Closure plan. Temporary sheds will be provided with basic facilities like water, power, fuel and adequate sanitary system for construction workers. t Applicable (Mine Office, Store, First Aid Centre, Rest shelter, blaster shade, Approach Road already created within mine lease area near proposed crusher) Crusher construction is proposed within mining lease 3
