The proposed site was inspected by me on 16 03 2023. The proposal was submitted by the User Agency for requesting prior permission under Forest Conservation Act 1980, for diversion of 5.94ha of forest land in Thoppur RF 5.875Ha One segment and 0.065Ha two segments in Gummanur RF of Dharmapuri Forest Division in Dharmapuri district for laying under ground Ø24” R LNG pipeline for the demand of both domestic and industry purposes. .The proposal is for linear project and it is proposed in the same stretches of four laning of Thorapalli Agraharam Jittandahalli section of new NH 844 from km.33/510 to km.60/100 RHS package II and 60/100 to km.94/460 RHS on Jittandahalli to Dharmapuri section of NH 844 Package III National Highways Authority of india, Krishnagiri proposed road, which is passing through the Gummanur Reserved Forest of Palacode Range. The User Agency has also obtained the NOC from National Highways Authority of india, Krishnagiri. The proposed laying Ø24” R LNG pipeline is essential for both domestic and industry purposes. The project proponent has given undertakings to bear the cost of Net Present Value, Additional Net Present Value, Compensatory Afforestation with maintenance and lease rent as fixed by the Forest Department at the time of sanction along with any escalation in future for the forest land to be diverted etc. The work will be permitted after strict supervision of Forest Officers. Possible damage to wild flora and fauna due to this project is very low. Considering the above facts and field observations, I recommend this proposal for seeking diversion of forest land.
