ACTION PLAN FOR GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT As per the stipulations of MoEF&CC, greenbelt is to be provided all along the boundary by planting tall, evergreen trees and the total green area including landscaping area will be about 36% of the project area. There are block plantations within the project site. Typical industrial greenbelt on all sides of the plant site with 5 to 10 m width patches and strips of greenbelt with a spacing of 2m x 3 m (1500 trees per Ha). About 1300 trees will be grown in the space available in the project area. Since there will be two rows of trees, they get direct light at least from one side and the branches can expand. Hence, potentially large trees with wide canopy are chosen instead of the less branched and straight growing trees. In addition to greenbelt development in the plant site, proponent proposed to develop green area with trees such as fruit bearing, Neem, Kadamba plantations of 1000 trees/year for five years in the nearby three identified villages (Obulapuram, Hirehalu Siddapuram and Dandinahirehalupete). Soil is good and suitable for plant growth but water supply is critical during the dry season. Special care shall be taken to water them at least once in 3 days during the dry period. A list of plants suitable for greenbelt and to the local agro climatic conditions. A list of multipurpose trees proposed to be planted in the greenbelt is given in Table 10.1.
