16. Specific recommendation of the DFO/CCF/Nodal Officer for acceptance or otherwise of the proposal with reason
DivisionCircleRecommendation ByRecommendationReasonLetter Whether CF agreed
HaltugaonWestern Assam Circle, KokrajharDFO RecommendedThere is no plantation raised by this division in the proposed area, The area consist few numbers of Sal and other trees and the ground vegetation includes grasses, Euphatorium species, Clerodendron infortunatum etc, The Forest area to be diverted is mostly plain and The construction of transmission line would benefit the public and is in the national interest. Therefore, the diversion proposal is recommended for acceptance.
GoalparaC.F Central Assam CircleDFO RecommendedThe proposed 41.747 ha area of forest land for construction of 01 x 400 KV D/C transmission line from Bongaingaon to Nangal Bibra fall under Panchratna RF, Bogulamari PRF, Sagunbasi RF, Rakhsyini PRF of Sadar Range Goalpara and Zangrazangsa RF of Central Range Krishnai in Goalpara Forest Division T , Goalpara is recommended in view of minimum 30 to 35 percent green felling and importance of the development of the nation and especially North east India by improving overall power scenario of the North Eastern region without causing major damage of the forest and environment provided some mitigation measures are taken by the User Agency as per guideline of F.C. Act,1980. On implementation of the proposed project the entire area would be benefited economically and Socially. As the forest area proposed for diversion is unavoidable and barest minimum required for the project, therefore, the diversion of the forest land as above is recommended for acceptance
Aie ValleyC.F Lower Assam Social Forestry Circle, BongaigaonDFO Not-RecommendedThe proposed diversion proposal namely Construction of 400 kV DC Bongaigaon Nangalbibra Transmission Line shall be able to cater to the dire energy demand of the region. However, the proposed transmission alignment falling at Bhairab reserve forest which is one of the highest potential habitats of the endangered Golden langur species at Bongaigaon district, Assam. The enumerated 2330 trees to be felled in the proposed transmission line alignment may adversely affect the habitat and survivality of the endangered species as well as it will lead towards scarcity of food source for the primates. Further the proposed high voltage transmission line will always be a big threat for the life of the primate which is of complete Arboreal in nature. In view of the above, the project is hereby not recommended.
C.F Lower Assam Social Forestry Circle, BongaigaonCF Not-RecommendedThe proposed diversion proposal namely Construction of 400 kV DC BongaigaonNangalbibra Transmission Line shall be able to cater to the energy demand of the region. However, the proposed transmission alignment falling at Bhairab reserve forest is one of the highest potential habitat of the endangered species called Golden langur which is very much endemic to this part of the state of Assam. The enumerated 2330 trees to be felled in the proposed transmission line alignment may adversely affect the habitat and survivability of the endangered species as well as it will lead towards scarcity of food source for the primates. Further the proposed high voltage transmission line will always be a big threat for the life of the primate which is of complete Arboreal in nature. In view of the above, the project is hereby not recommended.Yes
C.F Central Assam CircleCF RecommendedThe proposed diversion area of 41.747 hectares is for construction of 400 KV D/C Bongaigaon to Nagalbibra Transmission line. The said project is a Government of India Project having National interest. It will improve overall power scenario of the North Eastern region without causing major damage to the forest and environment provided some mitigation measures are taken by the User Agency as per guideline of Forest Conservation Act, 1980. As the forest area proposed for diversion is unavoidable and barest minimum required for the project. Therefore, the diversion of the forest land as above is recommended for acceptance with a condition that the User Agency NANGALBIBRA BONGAIGAON TRANSMISSION LIMITED to deposit 2% of the total project cost for Human Elephant Conflict Mitigation and Wildlife Conservation purpose.Yes
Western Assam Circle, KokrajharCF RecommendedThe proposed Transmission line is a necessity in this backward underdeveloped part of the state. This under construction project has the State Interest which will enhance the power scenario of the area leading to the increasing commercial and developmental activities. Thus it will create employment opportunities increasing economic condition of the people as well as improve the quality of life. Therefore, recommended for acceptance and approval of the proposal for the diversion of 0.666 HA Forest Land under Haltugaon Division, Kokrajhar.Yes
Nodal Officer RecommendedThe said project is a Government of India Project having National interest. It will improve overall power scenario of the North Eastern region without causing major damage to the forest and environment provided some mitigation measures are taken by the User Agency as per guideline of Forest Conservation Act, 1980. As the forest area proposed for diversion is unavoidable and barest minimum required for the project. Therefore, the diversion of the forest land as above is recommended for acceptance with a condition that the User Agency NANGALBIBRA BONGAIGAON TRANSMISSION LIMITED to deposit 2% of the total project cost for Human Elephant Conflict Mitigation and Wildlife Conservation purpose.
