3 if any and its relevance with he proposed project. II) ACTIVITY 1. Construction, operation or decommissioning of the Project involving actions, which will cause physical changes in the locality (topography, land use, changes in water bodies, etc.) Information/Checklist 1.1 Permanent or temporary change in land use, land cover or topography including increase in intensity of land use (with respect to local land use plan) 1.2 Clearance of existing land, vegetation and buildings? /No Details thereof (with approximate quantities / The mining will be done by opencast mechanized method. The present topography of the area is an ellipsoidal mound. Because of mining the height will be degraded from existing level and there will be changes in land use and land cover. As mineral is well exposed, the soil over burden is negligible. Hence clearance of existing land is negligible. The lease area is a hillock without any vegetation. The hillock doesn t have any soil cover to support vegetation. There are no trees or plantation growth in the lease area. There are no buildings in the lease area. Hence no clearance of vegetation and buildings. 1.3 Creation of new land uses? The quarrying activity will result in change in land use At the end of the mining operation, the pits in the quarry lease area would be filled and plantations would be developed as per the mine closure plan. Left out pits if any would be used as water ponds. 1.4 Pre-construction investigations e.g. bore houses, soil testing? Preliminary investigations have been carried out at the proposed

4 QL area and the reserves were estimated. 1.5 Construction works? No There are no major constructions proposed in the mining lease area except semi permanent site office and other facilities. 1.6 Demolition works? No No demolition works are involved. 1.7 Temporary sites used for construction works or housing of construction workers? 1.8 Above ground buildings, structures or earthworks including linear structures, cut and fill or excavations. 1.9 Underground works including mining or tunneling? No As there are no permanent constructions in the lease area, housing of construction workers is not involved. No No buildings or structures are proposed in the site. Open cast mechanized mining (excavations) and filling back the quarried pits with waste will be done in the lease area. No Open cast mechanized mining will be done by carving the hillock. Benches will be developed with a height of 6M for safe, efficient and large scale mining. Most of the separation of blocks will be by way of wire sawing 1.10 Reclamation works? Phase-wise reclamation of quarried blocks will be practiced The quarry pits which can be filled would be closed using the waste generated from quarrying at the end of the mining period and green belt will be developed. The area that cannot be filled, would be left as water reservoirs with fencing The waste generated during the mining will be dumped in the NW of the quarry lease area between the grids N & E over an area of 0,670 Ha with an average height

5 of 11 M with 450 slope angle will be formed the waste will be rehandled for backfilling during the Conceptual plan period Dredging? No Not applicable 1.12 Offshore structures? No Not applicable 1.13 Production and manufacturing processes? 1.14 Facilities for storage of goods or materials? 1.15 Facilities for treatment or disposal of solid waste or liquid effluents? Average annual production of Colour Granite will be peak 8724 M 3 /Annum. Open cast - mechanized method will be followed. Stock yard and waste dump yard facilities are identified for storage of goods and materials in the quarry lease area. The waste generated during the mining will be dumped in the NW of the quarry lease area between the grids N & E over an area of Ha with an average height of 11 M with 450 slope angle will be formed the waste will be rehandled for backfilling during the Conceptual plan period Facilities for long term housing of operational workers? 1.17 New road, rail or sea traffic during construction or operation? 1.18 New road, rail, air waterborne or other transport infrastructure including new or altered routes and stations, ports, airports etc.? 1.19 Closure or diversion of existing transport routes or infrastructure leading to changes in traffic movements? No Operational Workers will be sourced from the nearby villages Hence long term housing facility is not required. No Haul roads will be laid in the lease area. No Only approach road to the quarry lease area from the foot of the hill will be developed. No other major road, rail, air or waterborne transport network is envisaged. No There is no such closure or diversion of existing routes or infrastructure leading to change in traffic movements.

6 1.20 New or diverted transmission lines or pipelines? 1.21 Impoundment, damming, culverting, realignment or other changes to the hydrology of watercourses or aquifers? No There are no new or diverted transmission lines or pipelines in the project site. No No such changes 1.22 Stream crossings? No There are no stream crossings in the quarry lease area Abstraction or transfers of water There is no abstraction or from ground or surface waters? transfers of water from ground or surface waters in the quarry lease area. The water required for domestic consumption, dust suppression and green belt development will be sourced from the village well. During monsoon season rain water accumulated in the quarry pits will be used for the 1.24 Changes in water bodies or the land surface affecting drainage or run-off? 1.25 Transport of personnel or materials for construction, operation or decommissioning? 1.26 Long-term dismantling or decommissioning or restoration works? 1.27 Ongoing activity during decommissioning which could have an impact on the environment? above purposes. No Better drainage facilities will be Developed in the quarry lease area to ensure that drainage or run-off is not affected due to the changes in the land surface. No Transportation of dressed blocks to stock yard and waste to the waste dump yard within the quarry will be by tippers. The finished blocks will be transported to various destinations by hired trucks. No transportation of personnel is involved. The quarried pits will be filled back in a part of the mined out area while a part of the mined our area will be made like a pond. No Temporary change in land use pattern occurs. Green belt is to be developed in buffer zone and filled out mine pits after closure. Hence there will not be any impact on the environment Influx of people to an area in either No Mostly local people will be

7 temporarily or permanently? deployed to carry out material extraction. So no influx of people has been envisaged Introduction of alien species? No No alien species will be introduced. Green belt will be developed from locally available 1.30 Loss of native species or genetic diversity? species No There will be no Loss of native species or genetic diversity due to proposed project activities 1.31 Any other actions?
