PART-A 3. GEOLOGY & EXPLORATION
a) Briefly describe the topography and General Geology and local mine Geology of the
mineral deposit including drainage pattern:
i) Topography:
A view at a Topo sheet No. 48 I/15 & M/3 following topographic features can be
observed.
The applied area is located in Government land. It is a waste land.
The terrain is slightly hilly terrain sloping South-West.
No roads pass through the applied area.
No human settlements within or in the vicinity of the applied area. The nearest
village is at 1.00 kms distance.
A Seasonal Nalla has been found in the South direction flowing to South East which
joins nearby Halla.
The highest elevation at Northeast corner and lowest elevation at Southwest corner in
the area are 605 mts and 595 mts respectively, having an elevation difference of 10
mts.
For survey purposes, a temporary bench mark (TBM) with 595.50 mts RL is
considered at Northwest corner of the area and the same is shown in the Plate. No.3
& 4 (Surface & Geological plan).
ii) Regional Geology:
Greywackes constitute a major lithology in a younger greenstone belt in Dharwar
craton. The greywacke and intercalated phyllites noticed in the area are comes under
Ranebennur formation of Dharwar super group. The greywackes of Dharwar Block
Building Stone Quarry
Page 6
are fine grained and occurrence of BIF within greywackes is a rare feature. Acid
volcanic is frequent in the region to the north of the Dharwad. The intercalation of
phyllites with greywackes is a common feature. Around Dharwad, greywackes are
fine grained and show the effect of metamorphism and rude schistocity can be
observed with pocket lens. Occurrence of BIF's within greywackes is not seen, on the
other hand, platformal facies is seen in the North of Dharwad.
The greywackes exhibit poorly sorted texture consisting of quartz, feldspar and
rock fragments. Both monocrystalline and polycrystalline quartz are common.
Greywackes in general are intermediate in composition, Si02 range from 57.74 to
66.73 in Dharwad block, where has phyllites show lesser concentration of Si02.
iv) Local / Mine Geology:
As per the field studies carried out the sanctioned quarry license area is
belonging to “Middle Dharwarian Group.”
The major rock types noticed in the area are as follows.
1) Soil cover
2) Phyllites
3) Greywackes.
Soil cover:
Most of the area is covered with greywackes. The soil cover observed in the area up
to a depth of 1.0 mtrs at top in the exposed working pit in the lease area, which is
Black cotton soil, suitable for agriculture.
Phyllites: The phyllites noticed in the area are intercalated with greywackes. These
are very soft & green in color.
Greywackes: The greywackes occurring in the area are covered over a length of
about 102 mtrs with a width of 79 mtrs in the entire license area as observed in the
Building Stone Quarry
Page 7
drillhole data. The general trend of the formation is N 150 W to S150 E. Greywackes
are medium to fine grained fresh & show intercalations of phyllites at places mafic
flows occur up to the thickness of 15 to 20 mtrs as observed in the Working pit.
These are grey to pale grey in color, exhibits typical greasy luster & it is soft.
The study area has strong potentialities for yielding superior quality Building material.
Which has value added processed products in domestic market. Promise for occurrence of
workable deposits exposed below the surface has favored massive operations & higher
levels of production, which favors economic feasibility of the deposit.
(i) The Topographic plan of the applied area is prepared in 1:50,000 RF with 1 mts contour
interval. For survey purpose, a temporary bench mark (TBM) with an elevation of 595.50
mts RL is considered in the area and the same is used as base for the preparation of surface
and geological plan and shown in Plate. No.3 & 4.
(ii) Details of exploration already carried out:
Exploration was done in the previous year audit report is enclosed.
c) Geological cross sections are drawn at an interval of 10 mts on a scale of 1:500 RF. All the
exposures are marked on each section and enclosed as Plate. No.5.
d) Future programme of exploration:
Exploration will be carried out till the reserves get exhausted.
e) Method of Estimation of Reserves:
The reserves estimation has been made based on potential zone marked on the
geological plan and cross sections. The norms of Reserve estimation are of counting
squares of sectional areas marked on the cross sections. About 15,83,974 Ts of
‘Geological Reserves’ are estimated. In order to meet the various statutory
requirement some part of the license area cannot be excavated i.e 7.5mtrs safety zone
area along the Mining License boundary & after deducting the quantity of Non
Mineable area, the Quarry able / Mineable reserves estimated are 9,77,505 Ts. The

C) Composite plan showing pit layout at the end of remaining 3 years and sectional views
showing production schemes for 3 years are enclosed vide Plate No. 6.
d)About 16,579 tons of intercalated waste is required to be handled during the plan period,
which will be utilized for strengthening the approach road.
e)Proposed rate of production when the mine is fully developed and the life of the mine:
From the above it may be seen that during plan period, it is proposed to maintain a suitable
Building Stone production of about 1,50,000 TPA for two years (i.e. 2018-20) of lease period.
During the year 2017-18, 15,000 Tons will be produced.
At the given rate of proposed production of 1,50,000 TPA for two years (i.e. 2018-20) of lease
period. During the year 2017-18, 15,000 Tons will be produced, the life of the mine is 6 yrs.
However, exploration will be done after the execution of license, which would establish
enhancement of Building Stone reserves and the life of the quarry is expected to increase.
i) Extent of mechanization:
The Method of mining shall continue to be Other than fully Mechanised method. There
will be no changes in the proposed method of mining and deployment of machinery.

10 tons dumpers ……………………………………………3 No
Justification for requirement of haulage equipment with calculations:
Total max., tonnage handling
per year
1,10,526
Number of working days 300
Building Stone Quarry
Page 11
Number of shifts /day 1
Daily average handling in tons 368
Capacity of shovel 0.5 Cum
Effective handling hours/day 6.5
Bucket fill factor 0.80
Swell factor 0.80
System utility factor 0.50
Cycle time of shovel 45sec
Hence handling in 6.5 hrs shift 0.8x0.8x0.5x0.5=0.16 x 2.66(density)=0.4256 in 45
Sec =0.4256 x 60/45 =0.57x390minutes=222 tons
For 1 shovel 222 tons
Number of dumpers required
Average hauling distance 0.80km

Total 1.6 kms
Average speed of dumper 10km/hour
For travelling 1.6 kms 9.6 min
Loading time and unloading time 10 min
Total time required/trip 9.6+10 = 19.6 min
Hence each dumper will make 3.06 trips say 3
trips/hour
In 6.5 hours 3x6.5=19.5x10tons=195

4. Miscellaneous: - Nil –
5. BLASTING
a) & b) Broad blasting parameters & type of explosives to be used:
Considering the facts that the Building Stone requires blasting for its extraction and
that class II explosives are to be used, the powder factor can be estimated to be 6 tons
per Kg. of explosives.
The explosive required per annum at a powder factor of 6 tons/ kg will be
1,10,526/6t/kg = 18,421 Kgs (say). It is proposed to use slurry explosive. The charge
per hole is 500gms; charging will be by safety fuse with the combination of Ordinary
detonators and slurry explosive; handling – tie up with the explosive suppliers (sale,
possesses and use of explosives); system of initiation – ordinary detonators.
In addition, we require about 51,971 m of safety fuse and 34,647 Nos of ordinary
detonators for initiation purpose. As only few holes (max 10 / round) will be blasted
at one time, no significant air blast or vibrations will be envisaged. However, since
the area is surrounded by an agricultural land, if required, sand bags/ mud bags will
be kept on holes and will be muffled in order to prevent the flying rocks.
c) Powder factor:
The detailed calculations showing the powder factor in this area is as follows.
Building Stone Quarry
Page 13
Spacing 1.00m
Burden 1.00m
Depth of the hole 1.50m
Bulk density 2.66t/Cum
Blasting efficiency 80%
Therefore, the powder factor
1.00mx1.00mx1.5mx0.8x2.66 t/cum=3.19 tons for 0.5kg explosive
For 1 kg Explosive 6.38 say 6 t/kg
Therefore each hole give us
1.00mx1.00mx1.5mx0.80x2.66 t/cum=3.19 tons ROM
The ROM to be handled 1,10,526/tpa
No of holes required 1,10,526/3.19 = 34,647 Nos
Total drilling required 34,647 x 1.5m= 51,971
One Jack Hammer can give
40,000 m/Annum
No of Jack Hammer required
2 Nos
d)Whether secondary blasting is needed, if so, describe in brief:
In case of boulders bigger than half a cubic meter, are broken after an initial blasting.
25 mm x 200mm cartridges of 140 gms shall be used for such secondary blasting.
e)Storage of Explosive:
Explosive will not be stored in the mine since the entire Handling and blasting
operations will be carried out by a licensed contractor who sell, possess and use of
explosives having a magazine with license. Blasting operations will be carried out
where ever it is permitted in the quarry license. Otherwise the extraction is by
heating and cracking process.
Building Stone Quarry
Page 14
However, if it becomes necessary, applicant will take necessary permission from the
Competent Authority for using and storage of explosives. Explosive magazine of
25kg will be installed with the permission to use 10 kg ammonium nitrate/day.
6. MINE DRAINAGE
a) On the observation from nearby bore wells, likely depth of water table is 140 mts
from surface.
b) Working expected to reach 572 mts RL level during plan period.’-
c) Quantity and quality of water likely to be encountered, their pumping arrangement
and places where this mine water is finally proposed to be discharged.
As such there is no possibility for encountering any underground water source
during the plan period. Any rain water, accumulated in the pit during monsoon, will
be naturally drained within 2 or 3 days.
7. STACKING OF MINERAL REJCETS AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE:
a) The nature and quality of top-soil, over burden waste and mineral rejects likely to be
removed during the next three years:
There is no top soil generated as the area is already worked. It is proposed to handle
about 16,579 tonnes of waste and will be used for haul road and approach road.
8. USE OF MINERAL:
a) The granite from this quarry will be used as building stone.
9. OTHERS:
a) Site services:
Since Kalghatgi is at a distance of 12.30 Kms(S), most of the repairs of equipment will
be undertaken there and hence, no workshop will be maintained at mine head.
Office, stores, first-aid station, rest shelter, latrines and urinals is constructed and
maintained outside in the license area.
Building Stone Quarry
Page 15
Potable Drinking water will be supplied to the persons working in the quarry by
disinfected and cleaned water tank/cans. No colony is maintained within the quarry
as the workers come from the adjoining villages.

11. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN :
i) Base line information:
a) Existing Land use pattern :
The extent of the license block granted is 2-00 Acre.
About 1-08 Acres of land will be used for quarrying in the plan period. The present
land use pattern are given bellow. Statutory buildings will be away from the license
area.
Particulars Existing land use (Acres)
Total land use (Acres)
Area for Mining 0-34 1-08
Roads 0-02 0-02
Overburden dump -- 0-02
Infrastructure --
0-06 Mineral Storage
Topsoil Yard
Safety zone -- 0-22
Area Un-utilized 1-04 --
Total 2-00 2-00
The surrounding area is dry land, where some seasonal crops like cotton, jawar and
sunflower are grown.
ii) Water Regime :
There are no natural springs in the area.
The water table is about 140 m generally below the ground level. The drainage
pattern is dendritic to sub-dendritic in nature.
iii) Flora and Fauna:
The area is completely barren and devoid of any vegetation. Only few thorny bushes
are seen.
Building Stone Quarry
Page 17
As there is no forest cover, no wild life is seen in the area. In the adjacent areas, foxes
and rabbits are reported to be seen.
iv) Quality of air, ambient noise level and water:
So far, the study on quality of air, ambient noise level and water is not carried out in
the specific area. However, the area around the applied area is devoid of any
industry.
a) Air Quality:
In general the SPM, SO2 and NOx concentration in the region may be within the
permissible limits, as it is a small scale quarrying.
b) Ambient noise level :
The noise levels are very low in this vicinity.
c) Water quality :
The quality of ground water is fairly good. There is no liquid waste discharge from
mining activity, which is likely to pollute water.
v) Climatic Conditions:
The area has tropical climate with semi-arid conditions and receives moderate
rainfall. The rainfall in the area occurs from southwest monsoon extends from June to
September and ranges from 998.2 to 594.30 mm. An average of 59 rainy days, with
the rainfall contribution of about 64.9 % from SW monsoon and by NE monsoon
35.1%. The yearly average rainfall is 772.00mm.
vi) Human Settlement:
There is no habitation in the area. No villages are situated within the area. Workmen
and staff come from the nearby villages. So, there is no displacement involved. The
villages falling within the buffer zone of 5 kms from the license boundary are given
in key plan (Plate No. 1)
Building Stone Quarry
Page 18
vii) Public buildings, places and monuments:
No public buildings, places, monument etc., exist within the applied area or in the
vicinity.
viii) Whether the area falls under notified area under water Act. 1974: Entire Karnataka falls under the notified area of the above act. Suitable action and remedial steps will be taken in case any obligation arises from the above said Act. On the applicant.
b) Environment Impact assessment statement:
1) Landscape:
The area forms an undulated terrain.
2) Soil and Land use pattern:
There is topsoil in the applied area.
About 1-08 acres land will be used for quarrying building stone in the License period.
Statutory buildings will be away from the license area.
3) Agriculture:
Due to quarrying agriculture will not be affected around the license area. Only
seasonal rainfed crops are grown such as jawar, sunflower, cotton, etc.
4) Forest:
As there is no forest area in the vicinity, and hence, there can be no effect on the
forest area
5) Vegetation:
The area is barren and devoid of any vegetation.
ii) Air quality:
Only pollution in the air is due to dust which gets airborne due to the vehicular
movement and while loading granite, etc. Therefore, the SPM count in the air will
increase to a very small extent.
Building Stone Quarry
Page 19
Nox, SO2 and CO values are expected to be within the permissible limits due to
proposed quarrying. Effect of quarrying in minimal. There is not much fuel burn
during mining except during transportation of granite and waste of vehicles plying
and compressor used for drilling the JH-holes.
iii) Water Quality:
Since it is rocky terrain, no ground water is found. However rain water is the source
for surface water. There is no toxic or poisonous discharge in to the drains from
mining operations. So, quality of water shall not be affected. But, in the surface
water some suspended silt particles may find their way during rainy season
iv) Noise Levels
Since it is a small scale quarrying, drilling and blasting are proposed, the back
ground noise levels will be slightly high at the site while drilling and blasting. The
area is away from roads where frequent traffic is encountered. General noise levels
are expected to be less than 80 dBa in working of the mine.
v) Vibration levels (due to blasting)
Only 49,496 jack hammer holes/annum of 1.5 mts depth will be drilled and blasted.
As, only few holes will be blasted at one time, not more than 10 holes / round, no
significant air blast or vibrations will take place. The blasting will be done during the
lunch interval of the workers, or before or after the working hours.
vi) Water Regime:
1) Surface Water:
Here, surface water is the rain water. The chemical analysis of the granite does not
show any hazardous parameters. Therefore, the rain water passing from the mine
working does not affect water quality.
2) Ground Water:
Building Stone Quarry
Page 20
The ground water will not be affected as the mining operations are conducted at
shallow depths which is at much higher levels than the ground water level. The
ground water table is about 140 mts below the general ground level.
vii) Socio/ Economic:
1) Socio and demographic profile:
There are 9 villages including hamlets within the buffer zone (5km) and they all
depend on agriculture and related activities. Since the quarrying is on medium scale,
no health problems are anticipated as well as safety due to quarrying operations.
2) Occupational health and safety:
Some quantity of dust will be generated during drilling operations and the
movement of trucks etc. As the quarrying is on a small scale, no appreciable impact
due to generation of small quantity of dust will be there. Regarding safety all the
precautions such as proper benches, use of safety belts, etc., will be maintained. All
the eligible workers will be provided with safety shoes and helmets.
viii) Public buildings, places and monuments:
The impact of the proposed quarrying is nil as there are no public buildings, places
and monuments in the vicinity.
c) Environmental Management plan:
i) Storage and preservation of the top soil:
There is no topsoil to be produced in the area as the area is already worked.
ii) Proposals for reclamation of land affected by abandoned quarries and other mining activities during Three years.
There is no vegetation in the area. Therefore, it is not likely that there will be a loss of
vegetation in the area due to quarrying operation.
It will not be possible to go for reclamation concurrent to quarrying operations,
however, the pit can be used as fish pond or irrigation pond
Building Stone Quarry
Page 21
iii) Programme of year-wise afforestation for the initial Three years:
Afforestation cannot be made in the license area as it is rocky hillock, however, plantation along approach road and village roads will be taken. About 200 saplings will be planted every year.
iv) Stabilisation and vegetation of dumps along with waste dump management year-wise for the first Three years :
No dumps will be formed as all waste will be used for approach roads.
v) Measures to control erosion/ sedimentation of water course:
Since, it is a rocky hillock with no water courses there can be no erosion /
sedimentation.
vi) Treatment and disposal of water from mine:
No mineral beneficiation will be conducted using water and hence, the question of
treating water does not arise.
ii) Measures for minimizing adverse effects on water regime :
As such, water regime is not affected. Hence, measures for minimizing adverse
effects on water regime do not arise.
viii) Protective measures for ground vibrations/ air blast caused by blasting.
Vibration due to blasting shall be kept to the minimum as explained in para 5.0 on
blasting.
ix) Measures for protecting historical monuments and for rehabilitation of human settlement, likely to be disturbed due to quarrying activity:
There is no habitation in the area. No villages are situated within the area. Work-
men and staff come from the nearby villages. So, there is no displacement of men
involved.
x) Socio-Economic benefits arising out of mining:
People residing in the near-by villages are benefited by the direct and indirect
employment opportunity created by the quarrying activity, vocational training etc.
Building Stone Quarry

2.3 Mining Method :
Describe in brief mining method followed to win the mineral, extent of mechanization, mining machinery deployed, production level etc :
Open cast other than Fully Mechanised Quarring method will be adopted.
3. Review of implementation of Mining Plan / Scheme of Mining including Three years Progressive Closure Plan up to the final closure of mine :
The various proposals made in the previous quarrying plan are as follows & the same was implemented during the plan period 1) The rain water flowing from the pits is regulated through garland Channels.
Building Stone Quarry
Page 27
2) Bunds were built all along the northern boundary, which restricted the flow of silt through water. 3) Afforestation was taken up along approach road. 4) Regular Monitoring of Air, water & Noise levels was done.
4. Closure Plan:
4.1 Mined-Out land:
Describe the proposals to be implemented for reclamation and rehabilitation of mined-out land including the manner in which the actual site of the pit will be restored for future use. The Proposals should be supported with relevant plans and sections depicting the method of land restoration/reclamation/ rehabilitation: At the end of the life of the Quarry, depth of Quarry will be more. So back filling is neither warranted nor feasible. Since one side of the Quarry area is surrounded by the agricultural lands, this pit may be utilized as Irrigation pond or Fish pond by providing proper outlet for excess rain water. Proper bunding will be made around the license area. Barbed wire fencing around mined out area (at the end of license period) will be made as safety & security measures to prevent access.
4.2 Water Quality Management:
Describe in detail the existing surface and ground water bodies available in the license areas and the measures to be taken for protection of the same including control of erosion, sedimentation, siltation, water treatment, diversion of water courses, if any, measures for protection of contamination of ground water from leaching etc. Quantity and quality of surface water bodies should also be indicated and corrective measures proposed described. Report of hydrological study carried out in the area many also be submitted. The water balance chart should be given. If there is potential of Acid Mine Drainage the treatment method should be given:
No surface & ground water bodies are available in the license area. Hence, no protection or control of erosion, siltation, water treatment, diversion of water courses is required.
4.3 Air Quality Management:
Describe the existing air Quality status. The corrective measures to be taken for prevention of pollution of air should be described: Only pollution in the air due to dust which gets airborne due to the vehicular movement, drilling etc. therefore, the SPM count in the air will increase to a very small extent.
Nox, SO2 and Co values are expected to be within the permissible limits due to proposed small scale Quarrying. Effect of the small scale Quarrying is minimal.
Building Stone Quarry
Page 28
There is not much fuel burn during mining except during transportation of Building Stone and waste by vehicles plying and compressor used for drilling the JH-holes. However, corrective measures will be taken.
4.4 Waste management:
Describe the type, quality and quantity of overburden, mineral reject etc. available and their disposal practice. If no utilization of waste material is proposed, the manner in which the waste material will be stabilized should be described. The protective measures to be taken for prevention of siltation, corrosion and dust generation from these waste material should also be described. If toxic and hazardous elements present in the waste material the protective measures to be taken for prevention of their dispersal in the air environment, leaching in the surface and ground water etc should be described:
Top soil of 1 m is available in unexplored area, which will be utilized for mud bund
and plantation purpose. There is 16,579 tons (5%) of waste to be produced which will
be used for haul road and approach road.
4.5 Topsoil Management:
Top soil of 1 m is available in unexplored area, which will be utilized for mud bund
and plantation purpose.
4.6 Tailing Dam Management:
The steps to be taken for protection and stability of tailing dam, stabilization of tailing material and its utilization, periodic distillation measures to prevent water pollution from tailings etc, arrangement for surplus water overflow along with detail design, structural stability studies, the embankment seepage loss into the receiving environment and ground water contaminant if any should be described :
Not applicable as there can be no tailing dam.
4.7. Infrastructures:
The existing infrastructural facilities available such as roads aerial ropeways, conveyer belts, railways, power lines, building and structures, water treatment plant, transport, water supply sources in the area etc. And their future utilization should be evaluated on case-tocase basis. If retained, the measures to be taken for their physical stability and maintenances should be described. If decommissioning proposed, dismantling and disposal of building structures, support facilities and other infrastructure like electric transmission line, water line, gas pipeline, water works, sewer link, telephone cables underground tanks transportation infrastructures like electrical cable, transformers to be described in connection with restoring land of further use :
Building Stone Quarry
Page 29
The existing infrastructural facilities available are approach roads, water for drinking
& dust suppression will be purchased from nearest village bore wells, the rest shelter
will be provided outside the license.
4.8 Disposal of Mining Machinery:
The decommissioning of mining machineries and their possible post mining utilization, if any, to be described:
Hired machineries will be removed by contractor as and when not required and
applicant’s own machineries will be shifted to other projects.
4.9 Safety &Security:
Explain the safety measures Implemented to prevent access to surface openings, excavation etc and arrangements proposed during the mine abandonment plan and upto the site being opened for general public should be described:
Proper bund will be made around the license area. Barbed wire fencing around
mined out area (at the end of license period) will be made as safety & security
measures to prevent access.
4.10 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment:
This should deal with action plan for high risk accidents like landslides, subsidence flood, and inundation in underground mines, fire, seismic activities, tailing dam failure etc. and emergency plan proposed for quick evacuation, ameliorative measures to the taken etc. The capability of lessee to meet such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local authority should also be described:
Since it is hard rock Quarrying, high risk accidents are very rare in these type of
Quarrying, as the area is free from earthquake zone and also major water body. Even
if there is any such event, the lessee is quite capable to meet such high risk accidents.
4.11 Care and maintenance during temporary discontinuance:
For every Three yearly review (as given is the mining Scheme), an emergency plan for the
situation of temporary discontinuance or incomplete programme due to court order or due to
statutory requirements or any other unforeseen circumstances, should include a plan
indicating measures of care, maintenance and monitoring of status of unplanned discontinued
mining operations expected to re-open in near future. They should detail item wise status
monitoring and maintenance with periodicity and objective:
Building Stone Quarry
Page 30
During temporary discontinuance proper bund will be made not to allow any rain
water to fill the pit. Also proper fencing will be erected around the pit as a safety
measure to enable the pit to re-open immediately in shortest possible time.
5. Economic repercussions of closure of mine and manpower retrenchments:
Manpower retrenchment, compensation to be given, socio-economic repercussions and remedial measures consequent to the closure of mines should be described, specifically stating the following:
There will be limited socio-economic repercussions due to closure of the Quarry
activities as it is a small quarry. Since, the labours are from surrounding areas who
are basically agricultural labours, in case of closure, they will go back to their family
occupation. They will get compensation as per the Govt. rules.
5.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of the continuation family occupation and scope of joining the occupation back:
Around 12 local persons will be used as labours. Most of the labours will be from the
surrounding areas who are basically agricultural labourers. In case of closure, they
will go back to their family occupation.
5.2 Compensation given or to be given to the employees connecting with sustenance of himself and their family members:
As they are daily wages employees, they will get compensation as per the
Government rules.
5.3 Satellite occupations connected to the Quarrying industry number of persons engaged therein continuance of such business after mine closes:
There can be no satellite occupation connected to the Quarrying industry. Not
applicable.
