1. INTRODUCTION

1. This guideline envisages measures to be undertaken

during blacktopping / widening of road sections passing

through natural habitats. These measures shall be undertaken

in addition to the measures laid down in the other Guidelines.

2. Conservation of natural habitats is essential for long-

term sustainable development. A precautionary approach to

natural resource management to ensure opportunities for

environmentally sustainable development has been adopted for

2. PROJECT PLANNING AND DESIGN

3. To minimize the adverse impact on the ecology of the natural habitats, selection of alignment should

be as per guideline. An officer of at least the rank of a forest ranger shall be deputed for detailed inventory of

ecological features along the road. The nature and type of impact on natural habitats due to road construction

shall be identified. Magnitude of the impact to the extent feasible on the ecological features shall also be

4. Impacts identified on the natural habitats shall be minimized to the extent required. Minimization

shall be through precautionary measures or through appropriate mitigation measures. Following are the

measures should be undertaken along the road passing through natural habitats:

 Constricting the road width to 6.0 m and embankment height to 0.5 m to minimize the extent of

diversion of forest land and cutting of trees

 Drainage Structures shall be designed strictly in accordance with guideline on “Drainage”.

 Rumble strips shall be provided at every kilometer along the length of the natural habitat and invariably

at the start and end of the natural habitat

 Signage (viz. speed limit, animal crossing, switch of headlight etc) shall be provided as per IRC: 67-

2001 Code of Practice for road sign (first revision)

5. In addition to the above measures, specific impacts identified on site shall be mitigated as per the
