On an average the ground levelvaries from 140 to 150 m above MSL.Topographical contour map of the project area is shown in Annexure 3.3.1.2 Geology and soilThe town of Badvel which falls in the Kadapa (YSR) district is mainly associated with schists, amphibolites,granites and doleritic type of rock formations. The schists and amphibolites have been intruded by graniteson a large scale. Years ago, these rocks might have formed extensive out crops but denudation hasremoved most of them. The massive granitic rocks found in these areas are mainly of two distinct types. Themost common type is the very coarse grained types for example feldspar, quartz, mica and sometimesepiodate. The other distinct type of granitic rock formations has a white or pale flesh colour and has smallgrain size. The granites and the older rocks were intruded by basic igneous rocks as dykes. These dykes aregenerally represented by dolerites.The soil type found in this area is generally ferrugenious (red coloured) loam. This soil is generally of poorquality and extends only to a small depth below the ground level. The top soil has a thickness of 1 – 2 m.The top soil is followed by weathered shales which generally has a thickness of 10 – 15 m. The weatheredzone is followed by fractured shales and phyllites.Table 3.1.2.-1 indicates soil condition in and around the project location. Soil bearing capacity is sufficient forconstruction of structure.11
