I. The Member Environment, HMDA and convener, Lake Protection Committee (LPC) welcomed the members of the LPC and explained about the agenda items of the 8th LPC Meeting. II. Action Taken Report (ATR) on the decisions taken in the 7th LPC meeting and all other issues as per the agenda items were discussed in detail during the meeting. The following decisions were taken in the meeting for implementation by various departments / agencies: 1. The Committee was informed about the Lake wise progress of protection and fencing works for the lakes under GHMC jurisdiction. The status is as follows: Total No. of Lakes identified - 128 Nos Number of Lakes where FTL is fixed by Revenue and - 64 Nos Irrigation Authorities Protection works sanctioned by GHMC - 45 Nos Completed - 5 Nos Progress - 23 Nos To be started - 17 Nos Estimates under preparation / finalization - 19 Nos. Works sanctioned pending FTL fixing - 9 Nos (i) Out of 176 lakes in the list provided, the GHMC has identified 128 lakes in their jurisdiction. The list of balance 48 lakes was provided by the GHMC to HMDA stating that they fall outside GHMC and be incorporated in their list of 325 lakes, thereby making it (325+ 48) = 373 Lakes with the HMDA. HMDA will verify and take up these lakes also for FTL fixation works as per their programme. (Action: HMDA) 1 (ii) The GHMC informed that the scope of work for the consultants engaged for above purpose does not include FTL demarcation, fixation and erection of FTL Pillars. It was suggested that GHMC shall follow the model prepared by HMDA for demarcation of Lake FTL boundaries along with Lat-long recordings followed by construction of FTL pillars. The GHMC will get the scope of the consultants work modified that extent so that the FTL demarcation and fixation works can be done in a systematic manner. (Action: GHMC) (iii) GHMC was requested to clearly indicate in the progress sheet whether FTL pillars fixed on ground, whether lat-long of FTL Pillars recorded and whether full lake data and memoirs have been prepared. (Action: GHMC) 2. The progress of FTL demarcation and fixation work by the HMDA was also reviewed and the status presented during the meeting is as follows: Total No. of Lakes identified - 135 Nos Total No. of lakes screened - 27 Nos Basin identification - 16 Nos Base map preparation in progress - 4 Nos It was informed by HMDA to the committee that, FTL is not available for most of the Lakes nor the Lake memoirs are available and the surplus weir is also damaged / changed in many cases. It is therefore becoming difficult to fix the FTL boundaries in the absence of the above information since the contours around the lake have changed considerably. (i) The committee directed the Irrigation Department to provide FTL details / memoirs for 501 lakes in erstwhile HUDA area to the GHMC and HMDA so that the work of FTL demarcation and fixation can proceed smoothly in a time bound manner. List of (325) Lakes was provided by HMDA to the Chief Engineer, Irrigation who agreed to provide the details of FTLs available for these (325) lakes at the earliest. (Action: Chief Engineer, Irrigation Dept) (ii) For the lakes where no FTL or memoir is available, it was decided that Irrigation, Revenue and Panchayat Raj Department should immediately 2 fix up the FTL level in close coordination under supervision of Collector and provide to the HMDA and GHMC. It was emphasized that the FTL demarcation should be as per ORIGINAL FTL and no subsequent changes in contours by filling on in any manner should be considered (Action: Collector, Irrigation, Revenue and Panchayt Raj Departments) 3.
