Sno. | ADS Letter | Remarks | Date of ADS |

1. | ADS Reply Letter | The revised EIA/EMP Report along with the revision of bio diversity , ecology and Checklist of flora fauna in the relevant chapters i.e. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 has been attached in reply to ADS sought by EAC Committee | 20 Aug 2020 | 2. | NA |
The Committee noted that the consultant did very poor quality studies on biodiversity and ecology and checklist of fauna and flora are peppered with errors. For e.g. Lithobates catesbeianus is listed in the EIA which in fact is an American Bull Frog that is found in North America and invasive in many countries but not found in India. Similarly, Western Rat Snake Pantherophis obsoletus is found exclusively in North America. Podarcis muralis (common wall lizard) is found in Europe and North America and not India. A scorpion species Typhlochactas mitchelli listed in EIA is endemic to Mexico. Such poor quality work not only reflects poorly on NABET Accreditation process but also on NHAI for appointing such poor quality consultants. It is one of the main reasons for delays in considering projects.
In view of above, EAC deferred the proposal for want of revised EIA/EMP report for portion related to biodiversity, ecology and checklist of fauna flora.
