(i) Map of the forest area required showing boundary of the adjoining forests, etc., is to be furnished along with the prescribed form. This should normally be on 1: 50,000 scale. However, if maps on 1: 50,000 scale not available, map on 1"=1 mile or 1" = 4 miles or any other suitable scale would be acceptable. If the area is very small, an index map may be submitted showing forest boundaries and a location map on a larger scale with a land use of the area required. (ii) Species-wise and diameter class-wise abstract of trees to be felled should be furnished in the prescribed form. Total enumeration is necessary only up to 10 hectares. For larger areas, species-wise and diameter class-wise abstract of trees may be computed either from the working plans or by standard sampling methods. (iii) The projects for roads and railway line construction will be processed in their entirety. Therefore, proposals in piecemeal should not be submitted. A note on the present and future requirement of forest land is required to be submitted along with the proposal. (iv) The State Government should send the proposal for renewal of mining leases at least six months prior to the date of expiry of the existing lease. (v) Special guidelines in regard to laying of transmission lines in forest area are at Annexure V.
