2.0 Introduction

2.1 General:
Steatite is one of the major materials being used in infrastructural projects,
mainly as an aggregate in concreting. In addition, it also finds its applications
in stone masonry constructions, as railway ballast, filler material, water
treatment plants as filter media etc. etc. Depending on the size of the material,
steatite stones are being classified as size stones, coarse aggregate, fine
aggregate etc. Even the fine powder, which is the resultant of crushing of
steatite, finds its usage as finishing coat for black top roads.
2.2 Identification of project and project proponent (in case of mining project a

2.4 Need for the project and its importance to the country and region:
The demand for Steatite Stone increased due to rapid industrialization and
growth in infrastructure. So the number of Steatite Stone producing quarries is
increasing in India. Steatite Stone is the chief material in this sector, for the
export industries like Countertops in kitchens and laboratories, monuments,
flooring slabs, & export. Based on the demand of Steatite Stone, the lessee
intends to produce the required quantity of Steatite Stone for domestic &
international market. As per EIA notification 2006 project proponent is
submitting the proposal to get Clearance for production capacity of 2,26,554
tons/annum of Dolomite Stone blocks from State Level Environmental
Appraisal Committee/State level Impact Assessment Authority of Andhra
Pradesh constituted by MoEF&CC, GOI for the purpose of grant of quarry
lease for which Notification for grant is issued.

2.5 Demand- Supply Gap:

The demand and supply for the Dolomite Stone is growing which makes a lot
of scope for revenue generation. Once the stone is obtained after quarrying it is
further processed and supplied to industries.

2.6 Imports vs. Indigenous Production:

Not applicable, as import of Steatite & Dolomite, is not required in India.

2.7 Export Possibility:

Not envisaged at this stage, as there is enough demand in the local market.

2.8 Domestic/ Export Markets:

Although Dolomite Stone is a minor mineral, it is a major contributor in foreign
exchange earnings. India is the second largest exporter of raw Dolomite Stone
after China and ahead of Brazil and South Africa.
2.9 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project.
About 32 persons including managerial and office staff will be required to
operate the quarry to achieve the required production levels.

Pre-Feasibility Report
7.0 Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R & R) Plan

7.1 General
The proposed Dolomite quarrying area, is located near Gunakanapalli Village
of Lingala Mandal, YSR District of Karnataka State. The proposed site is at
about 1.0Km from the nearest human habitation i.e. Gunakanapalli village. In
the core area, there are no houses/ hutments etc. Hence the R & R Plan for the
proposed quarry site is limited to the environmental protection and other social
measures planned, as part of the proposed activity.

7.2 Human Settlements

There is no human settlement in 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 socio economic 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 operation from this project.
In addition to this the literacy rate and better living standards shall increase
due to the enhanced earning capacity of villagers.

7.4 Storage and Preservation of Topsoil

There is little soil cover occurring, as the area is exposed with Steatite &
Dolomite. Wherever the topsoil generated, shall be collected and stacked
separately for use in a forestation.

P-14
M/s. Anusha Mines & Minerals Dolomite Quarry
Pre-Feasibility Report
7.5 Reclamation of land
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 wastes generated will be used in back filling of 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.

7.6 Facilities for Environmental Management

Generally Steatite & Dolomite quarrying is expected to cause air pollution
leading to breathing problems. Activities like drilling, blasting, excavation and
movement of heavy vehicles generate dust and aggravate air pollution in
addition to noise pollution. For mitigating the adverse impacts of the above,
suitable control measures are planned, which are more detailed in the enclosed
Environmental Management Plan.

For activities like drilling, dust suppression etc. water will be required. Also,
for meeting the drinking and sanitary needs of the employees/ workers and for
watering of the trees, water will be required.

To take care of the occupational health and safety of workers at site, dust masks
will be provided. Dust masks would prevent inhalation of Respirable
Particulate Matter (RPM) thereby reducing the risk of lung diseases and other
respiratory disorders. Regular health monitoring of workers will be carried out.

Most of the area is of sheet rock and the present proposed working is confined
to sheet rocks. Less than 5% of materials are being treated as waste in this area.
The rejected waste material is stacked in the Waste Dump and will be used for

P-15
M/s. Anusha Mines & Minerals Dolomite Quarry
Pre-Feasibility Report
approach road strengthening. In addition, as a proactive measure, the following
activities will be initiated:
Ø The rainwater accumulating in the work area will be collected and will
be drained-out to the downstream properly with guide drains, so that it
can be used by the downstream fields for their agriculture and allied
purposes.
Ø To avoid soil erosion, rain water entering into the mine pit, carryover of
the material with rain water, suitable garland drains will be provided all
along the active mine area.

7.7 Implementation of EMP & Monitoring Programme

The environmental management plan is detailed on the basis of impact
assessment. Control and mitigation measures for the adverse impacts
envisaged.

As the major environmental attributes have been confined to the project area
alone, implementations of the proposed control measures and monitoring
thereof will be undertaken on the regional basis. The Dolomite Mine will
ensure the implementation of the measures within the mine 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.
