8 2.0 Introduction 2.1 General: Laterite stone is one of the major materials being used in construction and Industrial purposes, mainly as building stone in coastal areas and also ingredient in Cement industry. In addition, it also finds its application in stone masonry construction, compound, fencing and filler material etc. Depending on the size of the material, Laterite is being classified as size stones. Even the mineral waste extracted during brick cutting used as Murram road filling etc. Laterite is a residual ferruginous rock, commonly found in tropical regions and has close genetic association with bauxite. It is a highly weathered material, rich in secondary oxides of iron, aluminium or both. It is either hard or capable of hardening on exposure to moisture and drying. The industrial use of laterite is in the Cement industry. It is used as an additive for lowering the clinkerisation temperature and supplementing aluminous and iron contents required in the manufacture of cement. It is also reported that laterite is capable of removal of phosphorus from solutions and percolating columns of laterite remove cadmium, chromium and lead to very low concentrations 2.2 Present Proposal: The Applicant is intended to supply the Laterite to the cement plants in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu states. Considering the abundantly available Laterite deposits and the growing demand in the market, Smt. Usha R.

16 6.0 Proposed Infrastructure 6.1. General: To carry-out quarrying of Laterite stone, the other infrastructure facilities are required for the main activity as well as for environmental protection & pollution prevention. The basic infrastructure facilities that are required for the proposed quantities are described below. 6.2 Site Services: Statutory buildings like office building, rest shelters, first aid room etc. shall be constructed in a semi-permanent construction using brick walls and tin sheet roofing. Drinking water is being provided in well maintained tank near to the rest shelter. In addition, there will be proper sanitation facilities, including a septic soak pit, for the discharge of the sewage from the toilets. 6.3 Site Services: Generally the Laterite stone quarrying is causes air pollution leading to breathing problems. Activities like cutting, excavation and movement of heavy vehicles generate dust and aggravate air pollution in addition to noise pollution. For mitigating thee adverse impacts of the above, suitable control measures are planned, which are more detailed in the enclosed Environment Management Plan. For activities like extraction, cutting, lifting, haulage the dust suppression water is required for sprinkling of water at the quarry site and haulage roads, also for meeting the drinking and sanitary needs of the employees / workers. For the disposal of sanitary waste water (sewage), septic tank with soak pit is constructed at a suitable place within close vicinity of the proposed area. To take care of the occupational health and safety of workers at site, engaged at strategic locations/ dust generation points like loading and unloading points, dust masks would be provided. Dust masks would prevent inhalation of irrespirable particulate matter (RPM) thereby reducing the risk of lung diseases and other respiratory disorders. Regular health monitoring of workers will be carried out.

17 The solid waste that is likely to be generated from the proposed activity will be mainly from the excavation process. This will be in the form of lumps and granular objects of irregular shape mixed with soil. This will be collected and broken into pieces and can be sold as aggregates for civil works such as road fillings, because of its hard nature. Most of the area is of hard laterite rock and the present proposed working is confined to 25 to meters below the soil layer in sheet laterite. Less than 2% of materials are being treated as waste in this area. The rejected waste material is stacked in the waste dump as shown in the mining plan. A JCB will be used to remove the over burden from the surface. When the dump reaches optimum height, suitable greenery will be developed on this dump to stabilize them. In addition as a proactive measure, the following activities will be initiated: The rainwater accumulating during the rainy season in the work area will be collected and will be drained-out to the downstream properly with the guide drains, so that it can be used by the downstream fields for the agriculture and allied purpose. To avoid soil erosion, rain water entering in to the mine pit, carryover of the material with rain water, suitable garland drains will be provided all along the active mine area.

18 7.0 Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R & R) Plan 7.1 General: The Laterite stone quarrying area is located near Tenka Yadapadavu village of Mangalore Taluk, Dakshina Kannada District of Karnataka State. The proposed site is about 0.60 Km. from the nearest human habitation etc. Hence the Rehabilitation & Resettlement plan for the proposed quarry site is limited to the environmental protection and other social measures planned as a part of the proposed activity. 7.2 Human Settlements: There is no human settlement within the core zone. 7.3 Socio Economic Benefits: Spurt in industrialization and mining activities have invariably brought a drastic change in the environment including the society connected with region. Mostly remote areas tucked away from urbanization and influence of modern civilization fall within the limits of mine development. A natural corollary to this the socioeconomic aspects of the local inhabitants who have dwelling this region for generations, get suddenly and probably a radical change, consequent to their abrupt exposure to the mining. The local people will get employment opportunities, better medical and educational facilities etc. mainly due to the mining operations from this project. In addition to this the literary rate and better living standards shall increase due to the enhanced earning capacity of the villagers. 7.4 Storage and Preservation of the Top Soil: There is a little soil cover existing discontinuously on the surface of the proposed lease area with exposures of Laterite stone. Whenever the top soil is generated shall be collected and stacked separately for use in afforestration. 7.5 Reclamation of Land:

19 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 pits. At the end of the mining operations, all solid wastages generated will be used in back filling of the quarry pits in order to bring back original contour of the terrain as for as possible. The separately stacked top soil 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 Environmental Aspects: The environmental aspects associated with the proposed activity, along with the suggested mitigation/ control measures are more clearly elaborated in the Environmental Management Plan. 7.7 Implementation of EMP & Monitoring Program: The environmental management plan is detailed on the basis of impact assessment. Control and mitigation measures for the adverse impacts are envisaged. As the major environmental attributes have been confined to the project area alone, implementation of the proposed control measures and monitoring thereof will be undertaken on the regional basis. The Laterite stone quarry will ensure the implementation of the measures within the mining area and carryout efficient monitoring. In order to implement the measures suggested for mitigating the adverse impacts on the environment, it is suggested to monitor the environmental parameters regularly.

20 8.0 Project Schedule and Cost Estimates 8.1 General Any developmental activity needs to have adequate resources, be in the form of man-power or machinery. Careful planning and timely deployment adequate funds to have the required resources, is of paramount importance for any successful project implementation. In the following paras, it is explained about the mobilization schedule of resources and the capital expenditure estimates. 8.2 Mobilization Schedule: The proposed quarry is very small and being a new quarry does not need elaborative planning for mobilization of man-power, machinery & equipment etc. 8.3 Cost of the Project: Considering the fluctuation export market scenario and the present domestic market conditions, the cost of the project estimated to be around Rs Lakhs with the concept of outsourcing some of the machineries.

21 9.0 Analysis of Proposal & Conclusions The upcoming project will, meet the development needs of the surroundings community without causing any negative influence on the environment. It can be summarized that the development of Laterite Stone Mining will have a positive impact on the socio-economics of the area and lead to overall sustainable development of the region.
