Aerial Ropeways - Environmental Clearance

2.0 Background of the ProjectThe background of the project gives broad description of the area in which construction ofaerial ropeway is proposed. It will highlight briefly the current existing scenario and theneed for the construction of aerial ropeway in this area.2.1 Description of the ProjectThe following should be given by the proponent in this chapter: The description of the project should include: the selection of the terminal locations the alignment selected giving proper reasons tower locations and angle stations emergency rescue construction methods types of cable car systems to be usedPROJECT DESCRIPTION 22ii.Location (use maps showing general location, specific location, project boundary andproject site layout showing its alignment).Essential Maps to be providedDetailed layout plan of proposed project development, access/approach roads, landscape,and waste disposal etc; to be given.
