CHAPTER 2
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2. INTRODUCTION
Granite rock is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in
texture. Granites can be predominantly white, pink, or gray in color, depending on their
mineralogy. The word "granite" rock comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the
coarse-grained structure of such a holo crystalline rock. By definition, granite is an igneous rock
with at least 20% quartz and up to 65% alkali feldspar by volume.
The term "granitic" means granite-like and is applied to granite and a group of intrusive igneous
rocks with similar textures and slight variations on composition and origin. These rocks mainly
consist of feldspar, quartz, mica, and amphibole minerals, which form interlocking, somewhat equi
granular matrix of feldspar and quartz with scattered darker biotite mica and amphibole (often
hornblende peppering the lighter color minerals. Occasionally some individual crystals
(phenocrysts) are larger than the groundmass, in which case the texture is known as porphyritic. A
granitic rock with a porphyritic texture is known as granite porphyry. Granitoid is a general,
descriptive field term for lighter-colored, coarse-grained igneous rocks. Petrographic examination
is required for identification of specific types of granitoids.
Granite differs from granodiorite in that at least 35% of the feldspar in granite is alkali feldspar as
opposed to plagioclase; it is the potassium feldspar that gives many granites a distinctive pink
color. The extrusive igneous rock equivalent of granite is rhyolite.
Granite is nearly always massive (lacking any internal structures), hard and tough, and therefore it
has gained widespread use throughout human history, and more recently as a construction stone.
The average density of granite is between 2.62 and 2.75 g/cm3, its compressive strength usually
lies above 200 Mpa.
Melting temperature of dry granite at ambient pressure is or 1215–1260 °C (2219–2300 °F); it is
strongly reduced in the presence of water, down to 650 °C at a few kBar pressure.
Granite has poor primary permeability, but strong secondary permeability Granite is one of the
most popular building materials. It has been used for thousands of years in both interior and
exterior applications. Granite dimension stone is used in buildings, bridges, paving, monuments
and many other exterior projects. Indoors, polished granite slabs and tiles are used in countertops,
tile floors, stair treads and many other design elements. Granite is a prestige material, used in
projects to produce impressions of elegance and quality.
The mining of minerals is based on the competitive bidding for the project on the area of 12.500
Acres. The lease area of 12.500 Acres is of Non forest land. Mining will be carried out by Open
Cast semi mechanized method of mining.

2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The lease area is 5.1 ha (12.500 Acre) is Construction stone mining. Mining will be carried out by
Open Cast Semi Mechanized Method of Mining. The mineral will be loaded mechanically on
dumpers or trucks. About 1884 cu.m will be produced per annum. Cost of the project is Rs 60
Lakhs.
2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT
Mineral resources for construction Purposes reflect the potential of economic growth of the
country. Our natural mineral wealth has been exploited considerably during the past 50 years.
With increase in industrialization coupled with population growth, the demand for different minerals
has increased and is likely to grow further in years to come. This has resulted in irreversible
impacts on diminishing reserve, with simultaneous generation of solid wastes and effluents
causing environmental degradation. In order to mitigate the impact of mining on the environment,
a scientific assessment is a pre-requisite for framing sustainable development strategies. It is
therefore important to tackle the problem for control of pollution and mining of minerals in a cost-
effective method causing least damage to the ecosystem. In order to commence/enhance
production/ renewal of any mines, it is necessary to obtain Environmental Clearances from the
Ministry of Environment and Forests and Climate Change (MoEF & CC), Govt. of India as per EIA
Notification 2006. Therefore, the implementation of scientific mining principles through EIA & EMP
plays a vital role in sustainable economic growth of our country.
ENVIRTA Sustainable Solutions India Pvt. Ltd. is QCI-NABET accredited consultant for
study of mining of minerals was assigned to conduct EIA study for the proposed project of
Landeihill Stone Quarry (construction stone) at the village Landeihill, Taluk Jagannath &
District – Ganjam, Odisha.
The basic objective of the project is effective use of mineral in the country and /or region. With the
development and industrialization and enhanced the demand of Construction material in last 20
years. Granite stone is commonly use as Roadstone, building blocks, but has poor resistance to
fire as it crumbles when exposed to intense heat. Traditionally the main use of black granite is in
tombstones and other monumental items, and to a lesser extent for various types of counters,
especially in the financial world, decorative applications, elegant trimmings and luxury floorings.
Stones on bolo cord slides and pendants, paperweights, bookends, lazy susan turntables, etc.
2.4 DEMAND-SUPPLY GAP
India is one of the largest producers of granites blocks and processed granite slabs and granite
tiles. Granite and marble are the two most common types of natural stone that are used in the
home. Both granite and marble are available in either tile or slab form. The form of granite and
marble plays a big role in how the material is used in the home. For instance, tiles are generally
smaller and are used in a number of different ways, including flooring and tiling. Slabs are larger
10
pieces of the material, which makes them useful for bigger applications such as creating
countertops, vanities and other larger surfaces in the home.
Granite and marble tiles are more readily available than slabs due to the difficulty in finding larger
deposits of these rocks in the Earth’s crust, as well as the work required to remove larger pieces
intact. There is a high demand for both marble and granite slabs, which is reflected in the
increased costs of these materials over tiles.
2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION
Indigenous production of mineral will be used for economic growth of the country. No export is
envisaged of the mineral present. Domestic demand is very high to meet the requirement of
growing requirement.
2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY
The proposed project does not have prospects export possibility. Demand for domestic market is
very high and there is wide gap in supply and demand of minerals. Granite Stone has direct
relation with the development of the economy of India. More extraction & exploration are required
for keeping high demand in domestic market.
2.7 DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKETS
The total production from the mine will be directly transported by trucks provided by the transport
contractors to local market. Granite is the hardest building stone, and granite slabs and granite
tiles occupy a prominent place among dimensional stones. Due to its hardness, resistance to
weathering, capability to take mirror polish, fascinating colors and textural patterns, granite slabs
and granite tiles are extremely popular. The principal characteristics of granite also include high
load bearing capacity, crushing strength, abrasive strength, amenability to cutting and shaping
without secondary flaws, ability to yield thin and large slabs and - above all - durability. Due to
highly dense grain, it is impervious to stain. Polished granite slabs and granite tiles have achieved
a special status as building stones globally. Granite is also used for wall cladding, roofing, flooring,
and a variety of other interior and exterior applications.
EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT DIRECT
EMPLOYMENT)
The requirement of various technical and non-technical personnel is determined while adopting
The following norms:-
The mine will be worked in a single shift in day light hours for eight (8) hours.

ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL
9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)
Proposal is analyzed for mining of semi precious stone in the area of 5.1 ha (12.500 Acres) in the
village Kutingpadar, Tehsil Junagarh & Dist.- Kalahandi in Odisha with Standard procedure and
rules.
The guideline from MoEF & CC will be followed in to in mining process and given as follows:
Dry pits will used for mining of minerals.
Mining will be in benches to avoid risk on life of laborers working in mining.
The mining area represents a flat terrain with gentle sloping topography with an average
height of 263m above MSL having highest of 266m and lowest of 260m RL. The mineral
extraction will be carried out at 300 days in year.
Mode of Working
For the optimum utilization of the mineral available in the lease area, mine working is planned
in a scientific and systematic way as shown in the working plan and section. The excavation
planning, slope, height, width and length of the bench are planned on the basis of deposit.
Since the deposit is very simple, shallow and the beds are horizontal, the simple manual
mining will be most suitable.
Development and Production Program for the first five years
Prior to start production of the area, some development program has to be completed
Maintenance and widening (9.0) of pre-existing roads leading to area will be ensured.
Erection of temporary site Office and two rest shelter shall be completed.
As per Metalliferous mine regulation 115(i) of 1961, barbed wire fencing all around the
mining/applied area will also be provided to avoid accident and inadvertent entry.
Mineral stacking yard of 15x37m with 0.1m high and 0.5m broad walls around, except
at two openings towards main service road will be constructed to avoid spreading and
any kind of leaching effect on the ground.
Risk of health and safety during mining will be taken care as per rule.
9.1 FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL BENEFITS
9.2 (Emphasis on the benefit to the local people including tribal population, if any in the
area)
The Construction sector has been one of the fastest-growing sectors in India in the past few
years. Granite Stone is the most preferred form of Stone in demand in India. The Construction
sector in India is highly export-oriented, labour-intensive and a major contributor to the foreign
exchange earnings; therefore, the Indian government has declared the sector as a thrust area for
export promotion.
Corporate Social Responsibility
As a corporate responsibility following measures along with budget provision is proposed for
improving the conditions of persons in and around the project area:

CHAPTER 10
SUMMARY & CONCLUSION
Granite is nearly always massive (lacking any internal structures), hard and tough, and therefore it
has gained widespread use throughout human history, and more recently as a construction stone.
The average density of granite is between 2.65 and 2.75 g/cm3, its compressive strength usually
lies above 200 Mpa.
Melting temperature of dry granite at ambient pressure is or 1215–1260 °C (2219–2300 °F);[4] it is
strongly reduced in the presence of water, down to 650 °C at a few kBar pressure.[
Granite is a natural source of radiation, like most natural stones. However, some granites have
been reported to have higher radioactivity, thereby raising some concerns about their safety.
There is some concern that materials sold as granite countertops or as building material may be
hazardous to health. Dan Steck of St. Johns University has stated that approximately 5% of all
granite will be of concern, with the caveat that only a tiny percentage of the tens of thousands of
granite slab types have been tested. Various resources from national geological survey
organizations are accessible online to assist in assessing the risk factors in granite country and
design rules relating, in particular, to preventing accumulation of radon gas in enclosed basements
and dwellings.
The salient features of the project are as follows:
S.No Parameters Values
1 Area 12.500 Acres
2 Project cost 60 Lakhs
3 Man power 10
4 CSR cost 0.5 Lakhs
5 EMP cost 2.5 Lakhs
In this mining project dust diffusion/silica is the polluting source generated in the Ambient Air
which will be significantly reduced by water sprinkling 3.64 KLD of water will be used to reduce the
impact of dust diffusion. Separate funds are allocated for drinking water portability and skill
development under the vocational program that will train the poor for their self employment and
make them suitable for other organization for fitting into their requirements. Health checkup and
remedial measures will assist the villagers for health checkup and recommends further if required
for their good health. Separate cost on EMP will improve environment through monitoring of
environmental parameters (Ambient Air, Water, Soil and Noise). The proposed project will provide
employment to large section of semi skilled and un-skilled laborers in the villages. It will generate
business opportunity for others. In total, project has positive impact on the poor section of society
and further boost infrastructure development.
