BOUNDARIES North Agricultural Lands South East West Agricultural Lands Agricultural Lands Agricultural Lands Agriculture is the important occupation of the local people. However the vast potential exists for the employment of unskilled and semi skilled labour in the existing granite quarries and allied industries. The area experience semi arid dry climatic conditions with an average rainfall of 772 MM. The local day temperature varies from 25 o C in Nov. to 45 o 50 o C in April and May months. The general wind direction recorded is SW to NE direction Prepared By : K. GOVINDA RAO RQP / DMG / HYD / 52 / 2017 Page 7

13 iii) Geology and Exploration a) Physiography The quarry lease area is located on a low level W E trending barren mound steeply sloping on both sides raising 5 M above GL. The area is unfit for agriculture as it is strewed with boulders. The drainage developed from this upland area flows due East & SE and join Muneru river at a distance of 0.50 Km due East. The area is surrounded by numerous water bodies. The areas around the dyke are agricultural lands b) Topography The quarry lease area consists of barren mound with topo relief in SW direction. The exposures of rock out crops are abundant with the intrusives in W E. The lowest contour is 125 M and highest contour is 130 M in topo plan (Plate III). Topographical Survey The levels were taken using total station of LEICA with 5 Cm accuracy covering the total area and contours were drawn. The BM is taken on Boundary Pillar 1 in the South of the quarry lease area with its value of M.

14 c) Regional Geology The quarry lease area constitutes a part of Granite and Granitic Gneissic terrain of Archean age. Pink and Grey Coloured Granites, Pink Alkali Feldspar Granites are the important litho units in the area. Grano Diorites with basic enclaves of Supra Crystals like Horneblende Schists, Biotite Schists also occupy the area. These rock types are exhibiting various landforms like Domes, Inselbergs, Castle Koppies, Whalebacks and Linear Ridges. The geological succession of the area as worked out by GSI (1991) is as follows : RECENT ALLUVIUM / SOIL COVER Younger Quartz Veins, Pegmatites Dolerites, Gabbro, Pyroxenite Dykes Fine Grained Pink Alkali Feldspar Granite, Medium to Coarse Grained Pink Alkali Feldspar Granite Granite With Mega Crysts of K-Feldspar, very coarse grained Pink Alkali Feldspar Granite Precambrian Granitiod - Migmatite Complex Medium to Coarse Grained Pink Granite Migmatite II Fine grained Grey Alkali Feldspar Granite Medium to Coarse Grained Grey Alkali Feldspar Granite Very Coarse - Grained Grey Alkali Feldspar Granite Migmatite I Grano - Diorite Pink Alkali Feldspar is the most dominant rock type in the area with variations in grain size, scattered outcrops of Migmatites containing Neosomes of medium to Coarse - Grained Grey Alkali Feldspar Granites occurs at many places. A number of Quartz, Grey and Pink Pegmatites and Epidote Veins Criss are crossing the host rock. Basic dykes of Dolerite, Gabbro & Pyroxenitic Composition traverse the granites in NW-SE, NNW-SSE, E-W & NE-SW directions. Thin veneer of alluvium is found limited to streams. d) Geology of the Area Part of the quarry lease area is covered with dolerite dyke. The dolerite dyke is rising up to 5 M above ground level with lowest contour is 125 M and highest contour is 130 M trending W E, the strike length of the dyke measured 135 M in the area with an average width of 100 M. The dolerite dyke is an intrusive into the country rock granite and granitic gneiss. The outcrops of country rock are exposed on the both the sides of dolerite dyke. The dolerite is black coloured, medium to fine grained equigranular in texture. White crystals of plagioclase embedded in black coloured. Petrographically the dolerite essentially composed of plagioclase and augite with accessory minerals of biotite and ferrous minerals. Prepared By : K. GOVINDA RAO RQP / DMG / HYD / 52 / 2017 Page 9

15 Two sets of joints are recorded in the dolerite dyke 1. N S Vertical 2. E W Vertical These joints are closely spaced at the contact of the country rock and on the surface giving rise to bouldery nature to the dyke. On the other hand they are widely spaced in the depth as noticed in the quarry sections. e) Details of Prospecting / Quarrying already carried-out REVIEW OF QUARRY PLAN Quarrying of Black Granite has been in progress since 2008 and the working pits existing in the area are expression and result of it. 1 pit was excavated. 1 pit was opened covering an area of 7,480 M 2 with an average depth of 6.00 M. Year Wise Development Plan (As per the Approved Quarry Plan 2012) Approved Quarry Plan 2012 Target Achieved Exploitation Afforestation Reclamation & Rehabilitation The lessee was proposed quarrying operations from South of the pit of the quarry lease area. The quarrying is conventional opencast semi mechanized method by developing benches of 6 M height. The lessee was proposed afforestation along the eastern margin within the 7.5 M buffer zone. Since the quarry is active with quarrying activity no reclamation measures are possible. The quarrying was initiated as proposed in the Approved Quarry Plan The lessee has initiated the plantation in the buffer zone of 7.5 M. The plants did not survive as no proper tree guard were erected and also due to dust. No action was initiated as the quarrying is active in the lease hold area. Pits encroached in 7.5 M buffer zone area will be backfilled with waste. Control of Dust The roads, loading point and other dust generating areas will be sprinkled with water especially during dry season. Dusk masks will be provided to the workers in the dressing section and dust collectors in the drilling section. Sprinkling of water on the haul roads and covering the drill rods with gunny bags for suppression of dust is implemented. Prepared By : K. GOVINDA RAO RQP / DMG / HYD / 52 / 2017 Page 10

16 RESERVES (As per the Approved Quarry Plan 2012) Mineable Reserves Total Geological Reserves Category Geological Reserves (M 3 ) Recoverable Market Grade 10% Proved Reserves 55, , Extraction of Market Grade 10% Recovery = 5, M 3 Life of the Mine = 5, M 3 / M 3 = 9.91 OR SAY 10 YEARS iv) Estimation of Geological Reserves The deposit exposed on surface, hence cross sectional method adopted for Estimation of Geological Reserves. 3 Sections A-A1 to C-C1 were drawn at equal distance perpendicular to the strike direction of the dyke to estimate the reserves (Plate III). The cross sections were drawn perpendicular to the strike direction, the cross sectional area of the individual sections are calculated to arrive at sectional area, the area thus arrived is multiplied by the sectional influence of 40 M (average) to arrive the volume of rock mass. Since the recovery of the marketable blocks and tiles in the nearby quarries is low, a conservative recovery of 10% rough blocks is considered. Categorization of Reserves The exposed outcrops and the reserves upto 25 M below the surface are considered under Proved Category of Reserves (upto RL 100 M) and 10 M below the Proved Reserves (upto RL 90 M) are considered under Probable Resources (Plate III). Hence, G1 (Proved) scale category as (111) code & G2 (Probable) scale category as (122) is calculated. The intrusive rock is exhibiting the major joint pattern in SW NE vertical to near vertical and at places these joints are closely spaced. The behavior in the sheet also not uniform, obtaining sizeable blocks is meager. Hence, a conservative recovery of 10% of the total excavation is arrived for establishing the Economically Saleable blocks. Even after obtaining the 10% blocks the recovery of sizeable large blocks would be around 25% and 75% would be marginal blocks for obtaining smaller sizes. Prepared By : K.

20 Economic Marketable Reserves The Black Granite of Mahabubabad area is having good export market; rough blocks free of defects and having 1.2 M upsize are mostly preferred for export. These are considered as Market Grade (Large Blocks) and in the present quarry the recovery of such blocks in Proved & Probable Category found to be 25%. Whereas the 2 x 2 and 2 x 1, generally marketed locally for the local cutting and polishing units, known as marginally economic grade and in the present quarry recovery of such blocks found to be 75%. Based on the recovery percentage economic marketable reserves computed are as follows : TOTAL RESERVES (Proved + Probable) = 31, M 3 (a) Economic Grade (Large Blocks) 25% = 7, M 3 (b) Marginal Grade 75% = 23, M 3 v) Quarrying Method of Quarrying (Open Cast Other Than Fully Mechanized / Semi Mechanized) The Black Granite in the quarry lease area is exposed on the surface with boulders. Hence, it is proposed to quarry the boulders / sheet by open cast, semi-mechanized methods by developing the benches of 6 M height and 3 M width. Wire Saw cutting will be deployed based on the favourable conditions. The development of benches in the sheet rock will be 60 o safety slopes. The separation of blocks from the sheet rock will be carried out by drilling, wedge cutting. Rock Splitting / Wedging : Thus 20 x 20 to 40 x 20 to 40 mass will be separated from mother rock by drilling the slotter holes on both sides of the mass and a top hole intersecting these two holes and wiresaw rope is passed through and cutting is done horizontally and vertically and by this there will be mass opening on all the sides from the main mass. The secondary splitting, dressing of blocks will be done manually. Secondary Splitting : After separation from the main rock, it is properly checked by washing with water to identify defects and cracks. Based on this observation, the size is decided and the blocks are marked and separated by drilling and wedging. The separated pieces will be examined for defects and lines, then the block or blocks are marked in clear area and holes are drilled along the line of marking, with the help of feathers and wedges and the waste portions are separated forming a rectangular blocks. Any bulges will be removed by drilling and wedging making it perfect blocks. A perfect block is that all the sides shall make with each other Prepared By : K. GOVINDA RAO RQP / DMG / HYD / 52 / 2017 Page 15

21 Dressing i) Dressing of dimensional rough blocks for export : Dressing is next phase of quarrying operation, wherein the secondary rough blocks are squared into regular perfect rectangular sizes, thereby avoiding uneven bulge or cavities and other defects. Jackhammers with compressor, feather end wedges and sledgehammers are equipments generally used for dressing the block. ii) Dressing of rough blocks for domestic processing plant : Dressing by means of squaring and splitting will be done for rough blocks of the size varying between 120 x 90 x 80 Cm and 300 x 200 x 190 Cm. iii) Description of granite processing plant : The lessee does not possess processing plant. Beneficiation (If required) Not applicable Drilling & Blasting A) Drill hole pattern for smooth blasting, holes of 3 M depth will be drilled in a single row with spacing of less than 0.3 M and burden of 1.6 M or more shall be maintained uniformly. This arrangement will yield rock size of 3 M x 2 M cross section. A bench height of 3.5 M will be tackled. B) Drilling Parameters : 1) Drill Hole Diameter 32 MM up to 3 M long. 2) Depth and Inclination of Drill Hole : Generally drilled vertically in an alignment, however in primary cutting in the absence of sheet joints to develop bottom level, horizontal holes also are drilled. 3) Spacing and Burden : The spacing shall be about 0.1 M to 0.3 M from hole to hole and burden goes up to 1.6 M for the splitting of the rock. 4) Stemming & Charging of Bore Hole : Gun Powder is used. The blast hole will be charged with 150 Grams of explosives by stemming with smooth strand. 5) Explosive Type : Wherever required gunpowder is used for splitting the rock. 6) Retrieving Dimensional Blocks : The Blasting operations will be restricted to splinter the host rock for approaching the intrusive body. The intrusive body will be tackled with latest technology by deploying Wiresaw and Tam Rock for obtaining the good recovery factor of sizeable blocks. Prepared By : K.

Measures to be adopted for Solid Waste i) Reduction of waste at source : a) Where the defect less and defective bands are distinct in the quarry resorting to strip quarrying may be helpful in reduction of waste. b) Controlled and cushion blasting may be helpful in generation of less blasting waste. c) Employing experienced and skilled workers in the production and dressing of rough blocks may help in generation of less waste rock. ii) Utilisation of waste if not prevented : i) Separation of side burden in to different categories such as soil, weathered rock and dumping separately so that : Soil can be utilised for reclamation of degraded soil area Weathered rock if it is sufficiently soft and devoid of rock fragments can be utilized the filling of roads, side ditches, formation of approach roads to quarries, construction works etc. Prepared By : K. GOVINDA RAO RQP / DMG / HYD / 52 / 2017 Page 21

27 ii) Waste rock generated during production, blasting and dressing having large and medium sized can be used as break water stones, deep cut stream river sections, for preventing the soil erosion. iii) Recovery of waste material from the rejected block : Small size rough blocks can be obtained from large size rejected blocks and can be sold in the local market for the tiles etc. iv) Disposal of waste as last resort : The waste generated will be dumped in the NE of the quarry lease area (on existing pit area) covering an area of 2,520 M 2 with an average height of 20 M with 45 o slope angle will be formed (Plate V). v) Use for back fillings the quarried out mines and other landfill operations such as source of road building material etc. : The total waste generated during the quarry life will be used for filling up the pit after completion of the life of the quarry as part of reclamation. Liquid Waste (Measures to control quarry drainage, runoff from waste dumps) a) Quarry Drainage : The drainage system of quarry in this area consists of surface run off generated from rain fall and seepage The water that will be generated in the quarry pits will be pumped out for the benefit for agricultural fields existing around. b) Run off from waste dumps and measures proposed to arrest run off : Rainfall over the quarry lease area effected differently by waste dumps, quarry pits roads etc. The rain cuts the dumps to small rallies and there by a lot of runoff is generated, in contrast to barren mound, similar pit being a pond runoff generated will cumulate in the pit. The following measures proposed to arrest surface runoff. a) Garland drains around pit and waste dump b) Retention wall at the foot of the dump c) Check dam construction against drainage channels to arrest silt. d) Growing vegetation on the slopes of the dumps c) Excavation drainage ditches all around the quarry to direct surface drainage: Garland drains proposed around pit to divert the runoff in to natural drainage channels. Prepared By : K. GOVINDA RAO RQP / DMG / HYD / 52 / 2017 Page 22

28 d) Utilization of runoff for general surface use or discharge in to surface drainage networks only after meeting with prescribed discharge standards and further the agricultural purposes on the surface : Surface runoff during rainfall event cannot be utilized for the general use, hence through the garland drains proposed runoff will be diverted in to drainage network. Granite quarries or dump have no pollutants or toxic substances, hence, no contamination is expected, except siltation. e) Treating waste water to obtain the desired quality for industrial use as may be required : No industries exist in the vicinity of the quarry lease area. Hence, no treatment is required for the runoff. viii) Environmental Management Plan Baseline Information a) Existing Land Use Pattern The quarry lease area is barren mound with sparse vegetation small bushes form the vegetal cover.
