Forestry quarrying (Regulations 50-61)
Forest quarrying means the extraction of rock, sand, or gravel for the formation of forestry
roads and construction of other plantation forestry infrastructure, including landings, river
crossing approaches, abutments, and forestry tracks within a plantation forest; or required for
the operation of a plantation forest on adjacent land owned or managed by the owner of the
plantation forest. It includes the extraction of alluvial gravels outside the bed of a river,
extraction of minerals from borrow pits, and the processing and stockpiling of material at the
forest quarry site; but does not include earthworks, mechanical land preparation, or gravel
extraction from the bed of a river, lake, or other water body.
