5. Working plan prescription for the forest land proposed for diversion : NIL

6. Brief note on vulnerability of the forest area to erosion : out of total 69.41 ha forest area, part is hilly and part is having plain terrain. The soil is vulnerable for erosion at steep sloped area.

7. Approximate distance of the proposed site for diversion from boundary of forest(in km.) : 0

8. Significance of the forest land proposed for diversion from wildlife point of view

(i).

Details of wildlife present in and around the forest land proposed for diversion : 4. The area appears to be frequented by wild animals like Indian Gaur, Leopard, Wild Boar, Sambar Deer, Jungle Hare, snakes & avifauna, though no direct sightings was noticed at the time of site inspections.

(ii).

Whether forms part of national park, wildlife sanctuary, biosphere reserve,tiger reserve, elephant corridor, wildlife migration corridor etc. : No

(iii).

Whether the forest land proposed for diversion is located within eco-sensitive zone(ESZ) of the Protected Area notified under Wildlife(Protection) Act,1972 (Note: In case, ESZ of a Protected Area is not notified,then,10kms distance from boundary of the Protected Area should be treated as ESZ): Yes

Details of Protected Area and comments on the impact of Project on the ESZ : The Bondla wildlife sanctuary is located near the proposed transmission line. Part of the project lies in the 1 km ESZ of Bondla WLS. However since there shall be disturbance to the wildlife during the construction phase, post construction the transmission line will act as a Fire line and will be useful for controlling wild fire and destruction to wildlife habitat.

(iv).

Whether any national park, wildlife sanctuary, biosphere reserve, tiger reserve, elephant corridor, wildlife migration corridor etc., is located within 1 Km. from boundary of the forest land proposed for diversion : Yes

Details and comments on the impact of Project on such areas : The Bondla wildlife sanctuary is located near the proposed transmission line. Part of the project lies in the 1 km ESZ of Bondla WLS. However since there shall be disturbance to the wildlife during the construction phase, post construction the transmission line will act as a Fire line and will be useful for controlling wild fire and destruction to wildlife habitat.

(v).

Whether any rare/endangered/unique species of flora and fauna found in the area : No

9. Details of any protected archaeological/heritage site/defence establishment or any other important monument located in the area, if any

(i).

16. Specific recommendation of the DFO/CCF/Nodal Officer for acceptance or otherwise of the proposal with reason

Division	Circle	Recommendation By	Recommendation	Reason	Whether CF agreed
North	Conservation	DFO	Recommended	User agency has examined 3 different routes to confirm the forest area is minimum & unavoidable from generating to terminating end of this transmission line. Details & comparative statement of all 3 alternate routes are shown in Part I. Due to presence of dense forest along with Bondla wildlife sanctuary, all possible efforts have been made to avoid the Wild life sanctuary area, which has resulted in increasing the length of line by approximately 6 kms. In spite of all efforts Eco sensitive zone of Bondla wild life sanctuary could not be avoided fully. In view of all above, it is concluded that best possible efforts have been made to minimize involvement of forest land. Further for the part of proposal which is passing through Private Forest Area, user agency has committed to compensate the actual owner/s during the construction period as per Indian Electricity Act, 2003. Since the requirement of Forest land is bare minimum and unavoidable and considering the importance of power requirement of the people of Goa in future, the diversion of 69.41 ha of Forest area is recommended to the user agency.
	Conservation	CF	Recommended	The Goa Tamnar Transmission Project Limited has submitted the proposal for diversion of 69.41 ha. of forest land to construct 400 KV D/C Xeldeem Mapusa Transmission Line. The case is recommended, considering the effort made by the user agency to minimize the requirement of forest land and also to fulfil the increasing demand of power by the resident of State of Goa	Yes
		Nodal Officer	Recommended	The proposal for diversion of 69.41 ha. forest land is recommended considering the essential public utility of the project.
