Inspection Officer’s Remarks: M/s Panyan Cements & Mineral Industries Ltd (PCMIL) is operating Kandikayapally Lime Stone Mine. It has three Mining leases comprising a total of 1425.90 hectares (3523.17 Acres) in Panyam Mandal, Nandyal (TQ), Kurnool Dist. The mine lease area partly falls in Panyam Reserve Forest, Alamuru unassessed waste revenue area and Revenue land covered in three mining leases. It was informed that due to administrative reasons, the industry has surrendered parts of the leased area falling in the reserved forest while applying for renewal of Mining lease. Consequence of these, at present the mine lease area of PCMIL is reduced to 464.8 hectares. The details are as follows. Lease Area Hectares 1 Reserve Forest of Panyam range a) Bugganipalli Beat : 34.96 b) Konidedu Beat : 56.27 2 Alamur unassessed waste revenue land : 879.36 acres 3 Alamur Revenue area : 43.72 Total : 464.800 The mining operations started in the year 1958. it is a mechanized mine. The lime stone deposits in the hillocks 1,2 and 3 has been completely mined out. At present the Mining is going on in Hillocks 4 and 5. All the mine lease areas dates were expired and informed that they are under the process of renewal of mine lease. Mine Operation: At present the lime stone deposits in the Hillocks 4 and 5 is being exploited by open cast mining method to feed the cement plant. The mine is operated in three shifts. The lime stone is being mined in two benches upto 9 – 10 mtrs. height with a working width of 30mtrs. To mine required quantity of lime stone and to remove overburden deep hole blasting is being done once or maximum twice a week as per requirement. For blasting various types of explosives are used namely Nitroglycerin based explosive, slurry explosives and delay detonators and fuel oils mixed Ammonium Nitrate. Air pollution control measures : Dust particles, which are normally generated during mining operations, become air borne, thus leading to increase in SPM level in the ambient air. Another source of dust generation is the transport of the material by trucks. In the existing mining activities adequate control measures are being adopted. • Water sprinkling on all haulage roads to control dust during transportation of lime stone / over burden. • Over loading of dumpers with lime stone avoided to prevent spillage during transportation. • Provided permanent provision for sprinkling of water at primary and tertiary crusher transfer points • Wet drilling system is adopted to ensure dust free drilling operation. Dust respirators are provided to all the persons working in the mining and crusher area to reduce the danger of explosure to dust for long duration. The industry had dumped the waste rock in the mined-out areas of 2nd, 3rd and 4th hillocks by back filling method by which ecological balance is restored. The issue of CFO Order of the Board may be considered by stipulating necessary conditions.

The industry has proposed for expansion of lime stone production for which they have submitted an acknowledgement from MoE&F which was filed for TORs. Details of IBM approvals along with : The industry has submitted IBM approval capacities for kandikaya lime stone mine over an area of 355.87 Ha. in Sy.No.572/5, 592/2 & 631(P) in Alamuru village, Panyam(M), Kurnool Dist. Permitted mine area and production before : It was informed that at present the EIA notification and present mine area industry is holding 464.80Ha. of after EIA notification. permitted mine area. Before EIA notification the industry had about 1426Ha of mine lease area. The production details from 1986 – 2008 is herewith enclosed for kind perusal. EMP for mining area : It was informed that preparation of EMP report for mining activity is under process and it will be submitted as soon as it completed.

The industry had applied separately for mining activity on 30-11-2004 and the verification submitted to the Board office on 13-12-2004. The Board sought clarification from industry on 21-03-2005. The industry had submitted the reply on 25-04-2005. Then, the Board has requested the industry on 30-05-2005 to give technical presentation before the CFO committee on 09-06-2005.

The unit is doing mining activity without obtaining CFO of the Board and Environment Clearance. During inspection, the representative of the industry informed that they have submitted application for Environment Clearance for lime stone production from 0.6 to 3.0 MTPA and clinker production from 0.45 to 2.0 MTPA (cement production from 0.5 to 2.25 MTPA). The copy of the acknowledgement issued by the MoE&F on the covering letter is herewith enclosed. 2. The major source of pollution from the activity is blasting, transportation and crushing. The industry is sprinkling water on the haulage roads using water tanker and has provided enclosure to the crushers. 3. The industry has to do improve frequency of water sprinkling on the haulage roads and shall develop the green belt in the mining area and along the haulage roads so as to suppress the dust. Air pollution control equipment has to be provided to the primary and secondary crushers. 4. The industry had not submitted application under Hazardous Waste Rules. The industry was directed to submit the same. Recommendation (Specific comment whether to issue consent or not). : The issue of CFO to the mining unit may be considered upto 31-03-2009 on obtaining IBM approval for the total mine lease area and Environment Clearance from MoE&F, GOI, New Delhi. duly stipulating necessary conditions
