The present proposal is finalized with a minimum total diversion of forest land of about 0.176ha. per As the provision of the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 anq the Rules, Guidelines, Circulars issued therein, the user agency who want:; to use any forest land for non-forest purpose, the proposals shall be submitted for the entire project in totality to the concerned Nodal officer authorized Ly the State Government i.e., Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Hyderabad, Telangana. However, as per the provisions contained in Para 2.2 (iii) in guidelines issued under the Forest (conservation) Act,1980 (amended in F.No.Lo-L2512073-FC(pt-IIl), Dt.25.02.2014 in case of Irrigation Projects, " the proposals seeking prior approl,al of the Central Governnrent under the Act for the irrigation projects shall be pnccessed in entirely. Holever, keeping in view of the long gestation period of such projects, User Agency, for valid and cogent reason, may split such projects in differrent phases. State government tahiie submitting the proposals to obtain in-principle(stage-I) of the Central Government under the Act for diversion of the entire forest land required for the project, may intimate the extent of forest land required anC time-scheduie for execution of its each phase, anci may request the Central Government to consider grant of final (Stage-II) approval under the Act for diversion of f'orest land required for the project in a phased manner,as may be specified by them. In Such cases at the time of submission of the proposals, schemr-. for compensatory afforestation for the forest land required for execution of initial plrases, consisting of inter -alia the dam, reservoir and main canals frorn the reservoir, as indicated by the state Government in the proposal, may be insisted upon. The FAC after examination of proposals, such ma1' stipulate time-schedule for transfer and nnutation in favor of SFD, of the non-forest land and funds for creation of compensat,ory afforestation in lieu of the forest land required for execution of remaining phasers, so as to ensure that expenditure incurred on the initial phases of the project doesn,t become infructuous. Stage-II approval under the act for diversion of fore:;t land required for execution phases of such will be accorded with the approval of FAC],,. After working out various alternative Alignnrents, the diversion of forest land to the minimum requirement is worked out as per the hydraulic parbmeters and extent of forest land required is as follows: Mamidipallv to RF The total requirement of diversion of forest land is about of 0.176ha spreading over Armoor Divisional forest unit. The diversion of forest land propcsals as per the F(C) Act, 1980 shall be prepared duly marking the alignments pressure main are on the relevant forest maps in separate booklets. The DGPS Survey for the forest areas proposed for diversion has been carried out and the data was submitted to the Forest Department. The sarne were aruthenticated by the Forest Department. The extent of the forest area involved is estimated as per the DGPS Survey data by ascertaining the entry & exit points of alignment with RF,, as furnished in the above table. The alignment of the water conveyorsystem is marked on the toposheet of 1:50,000 scale. The alignment is also marked in the field with boundary stones. The actual involvement of forest land and its extent !s ascertained after joint field inspection rrlith forest authorities. b. This Project proposa! doesn't involve any ptaces of historical, retigious, archaeological, recreational importance. c.
