Annexure D: Green Belt Plan

Greenbelt Development

As per the clause of 33% of total land area should developed as part of green belt, it is

recommended that plantation should be done along the peripheral areas and open spaces

in the buffer zone of the proposed project site. This will help to reduce the noise

pollution, dust spread and also enhances the aesthetic value around the project site.

The expected rate of survival for saplings is assumed at 80%. To improve the survival

rate in the adverse climate condition necessary consultation would be taken from the

Forest department. Proposed plantation area shall be fenced properly for improving the

survival rate. Plantation will be carried out in the lease area in phased manner.

Criteria for selection of species for greenbelt

The plant species suitable for greenbelt development need to be selected based on the

following criteria:

Fast growing

Thick canopy cover

Perennial and evergreen

Large leaf area index

High sink potential

Guidelines for plantation

The plant species identified for greenbelt development should be planted using dug-pit

technique. The pit size should be in between 45 cm x 45 cm x 45 cm to 60 cm x 60 cm x

60 cm depending on the soil quality. Soil proposed to be used for filling the pit should be

mixed with well decomposed farm yard manure or sewage sludge at the rate of 3.6 kg (on

dry weight basis).The filling of soils should be completed at least 5-10 days before the

actual plantation. Healthy seedlings of identified species should be planted in each pit.

Proper density of plants (no. per hectare) should be maintained within the greenbelt.

The minimum distance between two plantations should be dependent on the choice of

species and compatibility of different species to grow together. The distance should be in

between 2.5m to 5m for plantation in greenbelt.

Roadside plantation Minimum of two rows of plants are required for plantation on roadside to minimize the

pollution effects. While planting, care should be taken to ensure that plants in second

row fall in between the two plants of first row.

Selection of plant species

Keeping in view the climatic condition status of soil (Agro climatic zone) and vegetation

types the following plant species are suitable for plantation for the proposed project site.

Plant species for green belt development are given in Table no. 1 to 3
