Letter
Outward no. /Survey/1764/2019-20 Kurla Mumbai - 400 024 Dated-06.12.2019 To, Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Kandal Forest Unit, Mumbai
Reference: Central Government Guidelines Sr. no. F.No. 6-10/2011 WL- 19/12/2012
As per the writ petition (sic) no-460/2004 date 04.12.2006 of the Honorable Supreme Court, according to the court order the project which requires environmental approval under the Environment (Protection) Rule and which is within the 10 km distance from the Sanctuary / National Park or within its eco-sensitive zone, such projects requires the approval of the Standing Committee of the National Wildlife Board. .
Government of India, Ministry of Environment and Forests has issued the guidelines for working in the sanctuary FNo. 6-10/2011 WL- 19/12/2012 released on 19/12/2012.
This office has received a proposal from General Manager, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited regarding the OFC in TCFS and its ESZ with the BPCL project of Laying 18 "dia petroleum product pipeline. The proposed area of this project appears to be passing through the human environment sensitive area of the Thane Bay Flamingo Sanctuary. According to the relevant guidelines, the proposal is submitted in 3 copies along with information from Annexure -I and Part – I, II for approval of the State Wildlife Board and the National Wildlife Board, as the sanctuary's human environmentally sensitive area is being disrupted.
This proposal has been proposed by the project system online. As the project is going through the environmentally sensitive area of the Thane creek Flamingo Sanctuary, 2% of the amount spent on the project in this area is recommended to be deposited to the Kandal Forest and Marine Biodiversity Establishment for remedies for conservation in this area.

Mangrove management & Conservation Plan
The entire pipeline laying activity at off shore area shall be done by subsea method. While open cut method shall use for pipeline laying activity at on shore area and it shall be done by on developed area i.e. by side of road or in private land to be acquired by PMP Act. There will be temporary disturbance to Mangroves as the mangrove will be re-grown after laying the pipeline.
Approximately 4.171 km pipeline section shall passes through mangrove and mudflat area located on both ends of sub-sea portion.
During the construction of pipeline by using sub-sea method following points shall considered.
The entry & exit point sub-sea operation shall be on sparse mangrove area. Additionally, as a precautionary measures the entry and exit pits shall be provided with earthen bunds to prevent sudden ingress and egress of surface water. Due to usage of heavy construction equipment’s, DG sets, movement of labors at site etc. there are changes of disturbance to mangroves.
Thus project proponent will conserve the mangrove resource for maximum benefit to humans (involving preservation in some instances, sustainable product harvesting in others and restoration in still other instances); and to minimize those non-sustainable or conversion activities that lead to destruction of the mangrove resource.
The measures have been ensured for various stages involved in the construction of a pipeline viz. clearing and grading, trenching, stringing, bending, welding, joint coating, lowering in, backfilling, fabrication and tie-ins, hydrostatic testing and restoration.
The barges, cranes or vessels involved in the pipeline laying work should be in a proper condition with no leakages of oil, petrol, diesel, grease which can lead to leakage of pollutants to the sea. Turbidity monitoring can be performed periodically to ensure compliance with water quality standards. If at any time the turbidity levels are estimated to be approaching the turbidity exceeds criterion the work can be suspended temporarily. If required silt curtains, as well as careful selection of the dredging method, could be implemented in minimizing dispersal of re-suspended sediments. No waste should be directly released into the creek.
The intertidal and near shore sub tidal areas should be restored to their original contours once the pipeline laying activities are completed. General clean-up along the corridor areas should be undertaken and discarded materials including excavated soil from the site and the aesthetic quality of surroundings should be restored on completion.

Annexure IV
Mangroves are well adapted to natural phenomena such as (erosion and accretion, storms and floods) and quickly recover from this disturbance without the need for planting. Regular assessment should be carried out to detect the mangrove health condition. Planting is the most favorable method, it can be done using seeds, propagules or seedling; the latter can be from nurseries or transplanted from other sites.
As a first important step towards the maintenance of health of the marine ecology of the study area, critical locations are to be carefully selected around the project as monitoring sites for periodic health checks with respect to water quality, sediment quality and flora and fauna.
Following are some points to be considered for mangrove management & conservation plan:
The project proponent should not undertake uprooting of mangroves apart from the desired corridor of 56 m during construction of the project. The disturbed mangrove area in the construction corridor of 56 m shall be replanted immediately after the completion of pipeline laying works.
Restoration and Rehabilitation of degraded mangroves on suitable location by planting of suitable species immediately after commissioning of the pipeline and in consultation with forest department & Mangrove management cell.
Enforcement of environmental protection laws at construction site.
Full protection of the mangrove flora and fauna by banning the extraction of mangrove wood. The sand dunes and mangroves should not be disturbed in any way.
Regular monitoring for any changes in mangrove area, floristic and fauna composition and physiographic.
BPCL shall additionally carry out mangrove afforestation for 5 times of mangroves disturbed for pipelines laying activities.
