68 3.11. Ecology & Biodiversity Preamble The vegetation and wild life describes the environment setting in terms of type of communities, community uniqueness, and types of species forming each community, dominant species, rare and endangered species, and their habitat vulnerability to various disturbances. Ecological cycle also is an important representation of biological environmental setting. The important features of environment are flora and fauna. They have countless life cycle modes, forms and activities that are important to be considered in any EIA. Ecological status of the Study area: Natural flora and fauna are organized into natural communities and constantly interact with their physical environment as well as among themselves. They show various responses and sensitivities to outside influences. Hence, for a meaningful assessment is necessary to fully understand the ecological status of the proposed site for any development project before evaluating the probable environmental impact of the project. This impact can be maintained at a minimal level or can even be ameliorated if the probable shift the proposed activities envisaged in the project may induce in the dynamic equilibrium maintained in the ecosystem through the intricate interactions between the operative abiotic and biotic factors. The sites for terrestrial ecology sampling were identified during the reconnaissance survey and sampling was carried out in February The study includes listing of flora and fauna in and around 10 km radial from the project site.

76 3.13. Land Use Land Cover Study The definition of land cover is fundamental, because in many existing classifications and legends it is confused with land use. Land use: Land use is characterized by the arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a certain land cover type to produce, change or maintain it. Definition of land use in this way establishes a direct link between land cover and the actions of people in their environment. The following examples are a further illustration of the above definitions: "Grassland" is a cover term, while "rangeland" or "tennis court" refer to the use of a grass cover; and "Recreation area" is a land use term that may be applicable to different land cover types: for instance sandy surfaces, like a beach; a built-up area like a pleasure park; woodlands; etc. Land Cover: Land cover is the observed (bio) physical cover on the earth's surface.

78 When considering land cover in a very pure and strict sense, it should be confined to the description of vegetation and man-made features. Consequently, areas where the surface consists of bare rock or bare soil are land itself rather than land cover. Also, it is disputable whether water surfaces are real land cover. However, in practice, the scientific community usually includes these features within the term land cover. Land Use/Land cover for 10 km radius from project site of Proposed Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP-5MLD) at Khasra No- 244,1257,1263,3214/1265,3215/ 1265,1432,1433,1434,1435 Kita -9,2832 of Village Pandoga, Tehsil Haroli, District Una, M/s. The State. New Himrus Building, Shimla , were delineated based on the Landsat ETM+ satellite data dated June 2016; the land use Land cover classes are categorized based on the ground trothing and site visit. The land is classified in Agriculture Land, Built Up Land, Water body and River bed, Vegetation, and Open Land or Fallow Land, etc. classes, detailed distribution of units showing in the below map, table and graph.

80 Description of the Land Use Classes of the study area: Built up Land: It is defined as an area of human habitat developed due to non-agriculture use. The built-up land in 10 km radius from project site comprises of villages, towns, panchayat and revenue villages that include buildings, Industries, factories, transport, communications, utilities in association with water and vegetation. Out of total area found Sq. km. area under builtup land. Which is 5 % out of total area. Vegetation / Agricultural / Crop/ Forest Land: The agricultural land use is a function of land productivity and land utilization practices over a period of time. The study area covered sq.km area under Agriculture and sq. km area under vegetation class. These are the areas with standing crop as on the date of satellite overpass, grass patches or green area surrounding of township or along road or highways. Cropped areas appear in bright red to red in color with varying shape and size in a contiguous to non- contiguous pattern. Study area situated in Himalaya hill area all hills are cover with forest vegetation. Water Bodies: This category comprises areas with surface water, either impounded in the form of ponds, lakes and reservoirs or flowing as streams, rivers, canals etc. These are seen clearly on the satellite image in blue to dark blue or cyan color depending on the depth of water.
