EIA Guidelines for Proposed Stone Crushing Plants

This paper is not a legal document. It serves only as a guideline, which provides recommended approaches and formats for the preparation of a comprehensive IA report on proposed stone crushing plants.

This guideline has !een prepared !y the Ministry of

nvironment and

"ational #evelopment $nit in consultation of various sta%eholders. It should !e used with fle&i!ility, as a solid !ase of practical information to stimulate developer innovation. It is also meant to !e used alongside various other 'overnment advice that set out policy and guidance relating to stone crushing plants.

(iii) #ertiary Crushing

0ertiar/ crushing is usuall/ perfor.ed using cone crushers or other t/pes of i.pactor crushers. $versiBe .aterial fro. the top dec9 of the siBing screen is fed to the tertiar/ crusher. 0he tertiar/ crusher output< 6hich is t/picall/ ).-) to 2.- centi.etres :3A16 to 1 inch; in dia.eter< is returned to the siBing screen.
