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
Sundargarh	Rourkela	DFO	Recommended	After a thorough technical scrutiny of the already approved Mine Plan obtained from OPGC, it is found that the land area acquired for outside waste dump are insufficient to accommodate the overburden produced from mine. The mine plan is thus revised and approved by Ministry of Coal, Govt. of India vide their letter F. No. 34011 4 2017 CPAM, dated 17 04 2018 in which the total land requirement was changed Relevant extract of Mine plan is attached .Further, the forest patches over 15.701ha falling within proposed out pit waste dump area can t be kept aside rather need to be included in the overburden dump area. This necessitates the diversion of 15.701Ha over & above the 333.733Ha [276.655Ha including 76.19Ha treated forest + 57.078Ha] forestland already diverted & transferred in favour of OCPL so as to ensure a compact outside overburden dump. Therefore, this fresh proposal is prepared covering the additional forestland of 15.701Ha and applied under the provisions of Sec 2 of the Forest Conservation Act, 1980.
	Rourkela	CF	Recommended	As per diversion proposal, the cost benefit ratio is 1 is to 15	Yes
