Project Description Location: The site is located at Survey no. 53/3 & 53/4 in Lohape, Wada, and District Palghar, and Maharashtra. The site is accessible from highway (State highway no. 76 (Bhiwandi Wada road)) at a distance of 3.22kms. Land: The land provided comes under mining area approved by the government of Maharashtra. Therefore no need of human displacement is needed in the project area. The land provided for stone mining is hectare to the project proponent. Co-ordinate: The coordinates of the plant site are latitude 19 30'15.25"N and longitude 73 03'47.57"E Water: Water requirement of the project will be met through the water tanker and bore well which is existing in the human settlement area. Company does not exploit any other water resources or ground water; therefore no adverse impact is anticipated on water environment. The water requirement is estimated to be maximum of 2250 lit/day. Hubert Enviro Care Systems Pvt Ltd Page 2

25 Electric Supply: The estimated power requirement for the project will be 107 HP. Power supply to the project will be sourced from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd. The unit has also Diesel generator for power back up of 125 KVA capacities. Project Cost: The total cost of the project including all facilities is estimated to be INR Lacks. Topography: The project site falls under the district of Palghar. The district Palghar is in northern side of Maharashtra State in western India. The area of the district is 5,344 km 2. The district is bounded by Arabian Sea on the west, Nasik on the east and Thane on south - southeast, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Gujarat state on the north while it is bounded by Mumbai Suburban on the southwestern side. Soil Quality: The soils of the district are formed from the Deccan trap which is the predominating rock formation of this district with small out-crops of laterite soil. Various types of these soils are marked out as per topographical situation and location. They are generally grouped as forest, varkas, rice, khar or salt, coastal alluvial and laterite soils. Soils derive from parent rock granite, gneisses, and schists. Brown to Red in color. PH 6 to 7 Main crops grown in the district are Sugarcane, rice, ragi, mango, coconut, Pulses- Gram, Lathyrus, Jowar Pulses and Oilseeds. etc. These soils yield valuable forest products such as teak-wood, hirda (myrobalan), beheda, pepper, etc. These soils are located just below the forest soils all along the steeper slopes. They yield kharif millets. They are formed from the trap rock from the Sahyadri ranges under heavy rainfall and humid climatic conditions. There are some patches of manat soils which are rich in clay and silt and which become stiff and hard when dry. These soils are situated on the flat, levelled land near the sea at the point of creeks formed due to the rivers. Large tracts of land are going out of cultivation due to the ingress of the sea. These soils are found all along the coast and at places where there are no creeks. Good garden crops like coconut, areca-nut, plantain, etc., are grown in these soils, depending upon the availability of water. Meteorology: The average annual rainfall within the district is heavy and is about 2500 mm to 5000 mm in Palghar district. The maximum temperature in summer is 30 C and minimum temperature in winter is less than 15 C. Relative humidity ranges from 65% to 80%in all seasons. Water: Water needed for operation requirement shall be drawn from water tankers and bore well which is present in the human settlement area and not in the lease area. Ecology: extra land will be acquired during the operation of the project there will be no adverse impact on some of the environmental aspect. In the area of the project proponent clustered green belt is found in the vicinity, hence there will not be any kind of deforestation. Hubert Enviro Care Systems Pvt Ltd Page 3

27 Ideally located at a distance of 3.22km from State highway no. 76 (Bhiwandi Wada road) for proper road accessibility. National park or wildlife sanctuary lies within the buffer zone or nearby this region. displacements of settlement are required. sensitive places of notified archaeological, historical or tourist importance within or nearby the buffer zone. Crushing Activity The crusher will be installed in the site. 1.2 Description of Nature of the Project Over the last 10 years, the Construction sector has been registering strong growth rates in the range of 7-8%. Housing and construction is one of the major drivers of growth in more Than 40 allied industries including STONE CRUSHING. In addition, for the building of Roads, flyovers and bypasses, there is a mass and consistent need of crushed stone across the country. Several projects are in progress and are being commenced shortly which will have high demand of crushed stone all over the country. In order to make up the backlog and meet the projected requirements for the next 20 years, overall housing construction has to raise 500,000 housing units per annum. This process leads to construction of roads, bridges, new houses; markets, etc resultantly gear up construction activities and more use of crushed stones. The aforementioned facts and statistics provide enough evidences, assuring a steep and continuous growth vis a vis investment opportunity in the STONE CRUSHING business. 1.3 Need of the Project The project proponent has existing Stone Crushing activity in the mining lease as explorations have shown that these deposits occur in the subject lease area. The mining production is covered under the Ministry of Environment & Forests tification This report of Prefeasibility & Environmental Management Plan is given here as a part of the information to be furnished to the SEAC, Govt. of Maharashtra for obtaining Environmental Clearance as per office Memorandum. L-11000/47/2011/IA-II (M) dated To meet the everincreasing local demand for Crushed stone by the building industry and construction company the project proponent intends to produce the following quantities of crushed stones by Manual method of quarry activity.

Crushed stone has a very minor share among the exports of non-metallic mineral products of India. It is observed that total export volume of the crushed stone has been very low, whereas, Marble has the highest share and remained at the top. The market scope for crushed stone is found to be encouraging in local market with the increased demand from building industry & construction fields. There is also a sufficient demand from Govt. Contractors for laying of roads and construction of industries etc. The entry in the target market is easy and there is a narrow gap in the supply and demand, which is expected to grow in the coming years. The business opportunity to fill the demand and supply gap would be quite profitable. 1.5 Employment Generation The establishment of this project will improve the socio-economic status of the surrounding area by way of direct & indirect employment. The Employment opportunity will be created for skilled and mainly unskilled people. 2.

Observation The ambient noise level monitoring carried out in and around the project site shows that the ambient noise level are well within the stipulated limits of MPCB. The necessary mitigation measures were already considered by the project proponent. 3. Water Environment Since the mining activity is related to stones the water contamination is not a major issue. 4. Ground Vibration and Blasting Blasting is an occasional and impulsive event, which needs to be carried out in an isolated manner. The ground vibration peak particle velocity from blasting operations carried out in or on the quarry area must not exceed 2 mm/s for more than 5% of the Hubert Enviro Care Systems Pvt. Ltd. Page 5

40 SHRI KRISHNA VITHU PATIL total number of blasts carried out in or on the quarry during each reporting period; and must not exceed 7 mm/s at any time, at any residence or other noise sensitive receiver nearby. Mitigation for Vibration activity due to blasting Time of blasting Blasting operations on the quarry area may only take place when there is a need to meet the daily requirement of production. If at all necessary the timing will be between 1.00pm and 3.00pm. Relevant guidelines and standards applicable to the management of blasting for the project are listed below: Guideline for the Use of Explosives as per Explosive Rule ise pollution (Regulation and control) rules 2000 under MPCB. Fly-rock Management The Drill and Blast Engineer is to ensure that no fly-rock is emitted beyond the zone of exclusion. The zone of exclusion is assumed to be 500 meters. All blasts are designed in such a manner as to ensure that no fly rock is ejected from the site or on to any infrastructure established on site. In the event of fly rock extending beyond the pit, a thorough assessment is to be carried out in conjunction with the mine expert to determine the likely cause and to ensure that future preventive measures are in place to prevent a recurrence of a similar incident. workforce shall be allowed during blasting time so that the workers are not exposed to impulsive noise level. The noise generating points during blasting will be enclosed to minimize the propagation of high noise intensity. Before blasting is done, warning sound is given so that people can move to safe places. Observation Hubert Enviro Care Systems Pvt. Ltd. Page 6

41 SHRI KRISHNA VITHU PATIL Since blasting is an occasional event to meet the requirement of daily production capacity, no adverse impact can be observed.
