There are no national park, wildlife sanctuary and critically polluted area observed within 10km radius from the quarry lease area. t is proposed to extract Black granite production of 360 m 3 annually by semi mechanized opencast mining. Capital cost proposed for quarrying is Rs. 11 Lakhs. Pooja Granites & Minerals is conscious of their environmental responsibility towards the society in minimizing the pollution load due to this project and accordingly decided to carry out the Environment Management Plan. The objective of environment management plan is to delineate effective measures to control and to mitigate the environmental pollution. This report presents the environment management plan, detailing the environmentally sound technology and the measures needed to contain and mitigate the anticipated environmental impacts due to the project. This report discusses the management plan for mitigation/abatement of adverse environmental impacts and enhancement of beneficial impacts due to mining. The EMP has been designed within the framework of various legislative and regulatory requirements on environmental and socio-economic aspects. 1 Pragathi Labs and Consultants Pvt. Ltd.
