Policy of Punjab Pollution Control Board regarding Consent Management/Authorization

After the enactment of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air

(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, the Punjab Pollution Control Board had

framed policies / guidelines for consent management from time to time as per the prevailing

situations. Lastly, the Punjab Pollution Control Board vide office order no. 4 dated 17/2/2010

has framed a comprehensive policy for consent management so as to streamline the

procedure for grant of various statutory clearances viz-a-viz hassle free clearance to the

entrepreneurs to encourage industrial growth in the State. In order to have a sustainable

industrial growth in the State of Punjab, it was felt to review the policy/ guidelines of the

State. Furthermore, the State of Punjab is in the process of implementing the administrative

reforms so as to achieve sustainable development of the State. Consent management Models

of various State Pollution Control Boards such as Tamilnadu, Gujarat and Haryana studied in

detail. The revised policy / consent management for grant of various statutory clearances

under the Pollution Control Laws, Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and Rules framed

thereunder, is encapsulated below:

A. Categorization of industries

PPCB has categorized all existing as well as new industries into three

categories namely Red, Orange and Green keeping in view their pollution

potential. List of these categories is attached as Annexure-1, 2

However, if any additional category of industry is left out of the above scheme, then

a Committee comprising of Senior Environmental Engineer (HQ-2), Senior Scientific

Officer and Environmental Engineer (HO) will decide the said category of industry

as per its pollution potential.

B. Consent to Establish

No industrial plant, activity, operation, process, any construction project including

New Township, Industrial Township, Settlement Colonies, Commercial Complexes,

Hotel Complexes, Hospitals and Office Complexes, Industrial Estates/Industrial Area

can be established or expansion of any existing industry/project can be carried out

in the State of Punjab except the industries exempted from consent management of

the Board, without obtaining 'consent to establish' under the Water (Prevention &

Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.

All the prospective entrepreneurs, who intend to establish such projects as above


48

are required to obtain consent to establish of the Board u/s 25 of the Water act,

1974 and u/s 21 of the Air Act, 1981. The PPCB has evolved a common

application form for large, medium and small scale industries for consent

management and authorization, though the consent/ authorization would be

granted separately, which is available on the website of the Punjab Pollution

Control Board i.e. www.ppcb.gov.in The application to be filed by the entrepreneur

for „consent to establish' shall be accompanied with requisite documents, which are

given as per Annexure-4 alongwith fee prescribed by the Board, which is given

as per Annexure-5.

The Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) is accepting application for

consent management/ authorization of all large, medium and small scale of

industries for obtaining consent to establish (NOC)/ operate in the State

through „Online Consent Management and Monitoring System.' However,

small scale industries will have the option to submit the hard copy as well.

Since the PPCB endeavours to become fully paperless, it does not encourage

the industries to submit offline consent application. However, for the purpose

of record, the Board accepts one hard copy of the application alongwith

required documents duly signed by the authorized signatory.

PPCB has adopted payment gateway system for all charges payable to it with

effect from 1.4.2013.

The Punjab Pollution Control Board will decide the applications for consent to

establish (NOC) of all industries to be set up in designated/ approved areas

such as Industrial Area/ Industrial Estate / Industrial Focal Point/ Approved

Industrial Park / Industrial Zone of the Master Plan. However, the Site

Clearance u/s 41 (A) of the Factories Act, 1948 will not be necessary for

grant of consent to establish/ operate/ authorization by the Board.

A copy of the NOC granted to the entrepreneur by the Board will be endorsed to the

Deptt. of Factories, Punjab. Also, a condition will be imposed in the said „consent to

establish' to the effect that the entrepreneur / industry shall obtain necessary

statutory permissions / clearances from all other concerned departments.

Accordingly, the letter no. CSA/04/P-48/7084-98 dated 22.06.2006 Annexure-6 of




49

the Board stands omitted. However, Press Note 17 (1984 series) relating to Site

Clearance from environmental angle for the industries will remain operative.

For industries to be set up in areas other than the area such as designated /

approved areas such as Industrial Area / Industrial Estate/ Industrial Focal

Point /Approved Industrial Park / Industrial Zone of the Master Plan, site

clearance u/s 41 of the Factories Act, 1948 will be necessary before grant of

consent to establish/ authorization by the Board.

In cases, where an industrial plot is allotted by any of the agencies of the

Government/ statutory bodies or by a project developer whose project of

industrial park has been approved by the State Government, certificate of

allotment/ sale of plot by such an agency wil l be considered for grant of

consent to establish (NOC)/ authorization by the Board.

The PPCB will continue to grant consent to establish to any category of

industries, which are permissible in the mixed land use areas/zones as per

by-laws of the notified Master Plan / draft master plan. The Officers of the

Board shall check the permissibility of establishment of such industry in the

mixed land use from the bye-laws of the Master Plan.

In cases, where the site of the project is located in the area other than areas

such as designated/ approved areas such as Industrial Area/ Industrial

Estate/ Industrial Focal Point/ approved Industrial Park / Industrial Zone of

the Master Plan, certificate of its location/situation from the nearest village lal

lakir/ phirni/ MC limits from the Revenue Authorities such as Deputy

Commissioner/ Additional Deputy Commissioner or the Sub-Divisional

Magistrate would be required for grant of consent to establish (NOC)/

authorization by the Board.

PPCB will grant NOC to new industries of all categories, which are proposed

to be located in the designated Industrial zones / areas of the notified/draft

Master Plan on the basis of undertaking submitted by the entrepreneur to the

effect that the proposed site of the project / industry is located in the

designated Industrial zone / area of the notified Master Plan or draft Master

Plan in which the establishment of such industry/project is permissible. The

50

undertaking to be submitted by the entrepreneur should clearly indicate the

revenue entries i.e Hadbast Number, khewat / khatauni number and Khasra

numbers. A copy of the said NOC alongwith undertaking and location plan

of the industry clearly indicating the category of industry (red/ orange/

green) would be sent by the concerned Senior Environmental Engineer /

Environmental Engineer to the concerned District Town Planner of the

Department of Town & Country Planning, Punjab / Local Body / Development

Authority (also an intimation in this regard will be sent through e-mail) with

the request to intimate the applicant (project proponent) under intimation

to the Punjab Pollution Control Board within 15 days, if the said authority

has any objection to the location of the project at proposed site. In the

said endorsement, it would be mentioned that in case no reply is

received from the aforesaid Authority within 15 days, then, it would be

presumed that the proposed site is suitable for the project from the

point of view of above referred Competent Authority. However, incase

of any objection to the location of the project by the above referred

Competent Authority or if any of the undertakings or documents are found

wrong, the NOC granted to the project would be deemed to have been

cancelled and the Board would not be responsible for the cost incurred by the

project proponent on the basis of the said NOC. In addition, a condition

would be imposed to the effect that in case any change/ amendment in the

draft Master Plan are required, then the continuance of the project would be

subject to such changes / amendments in the draft Master Plan by the

Competent Authority.

As per Office Memorandum dated 21.11.2006 of the Ministry of Environment

and Forests, there is no link of consent to establish (NOC) of the new

industries/ projects/ activities to be granted by the Board under the Water

Act,1974 and Air Act, 1981 with the environmental clearance under EIA

Notification No. 1533 (E) dated 14.9.2006.

The feasibility report to be submitted along-with the application for NOC shall be

prepared by a consultant having acquired at least Bachelor's Degree/AMIE in

Environmental Engineering/ Chemical Engineering/Civil Engineering from a

recognized Institution/University or from the institution having degree courses in

51

Environment / Chemical/Civil Engineering field. Besides the above, Charted

Engineers to be approved by the Board will also be competent to prepare a

feasibility report. Such consultant/Charted Engineer/Institution will append an

undertaking to such an effect with the feasibility report relating to the above

mentioned qualification.

C. Revalidation of Consent to establish (NOC)

Every entrepreneur is expected to complete the construction of industrial unit /

project and the installation of the pollution control equipments within the validity

period of the N.O.C. But in case, the industry / project promoter fails to implement

the project within the validity period of the N.O.C, then, the

industry/project promoter will be required to get the NOC revalidated. For this

purpose, the industry is required to submit the progress made regarding the

installation of Pollution control devices viz-a-viz main project to the concerned

Regional Office of the Board. Such request shall be acceded to only if the progress

made by the industry regarding installation of pollution control devices is

commensurate with the main project both in physical as well as financial terms. For

extension in the validity of NOC for a further period of one year/part of year, the

industry/project promoter shall be required to pay 50% of the normal fee

applicable for one year. The fee will be charged on yearly basis and for a fraction

of the year, the consent fee will be charged for full year. For extension in the

validity of NOC, the industry/project promoter shall apply on the prescribed

proforma.

The validity of „consent to establish' (NOC) cannot be extended beyond five years

from the date of issuance of the same, in any case. In case, any industry/project

promoter applies for extension in the validity of NOC beyond the period of 5 years,

then, such industry/project promoter must be asked to apply afresh for NOC from

pollution angle and the same will be dealt/processed/decided as per the

policies/guidelines prevailing at that time.

D. Consent to operate to new units/projects/activities

Before putting into operation any industrial plant /project/ activity, the

entrepreneur is required to obtain consent of the Board to operate an outlet

are covered under Factories Act and require site clearance by Site Appraisal Committee.

Ref : This office letter No. CSA/03/21st Meet/10149-63 dated 8/3/2005.

The Board in its 121st meeting held on 15/12/2003 had decided that the industry,

which requires site clearance by Site Appraisal Committee and has been granted NOC by the Board,

may be issued clearance certificate for release of power load, only, after the industry obtains Site

Appraisal Committee approval in order to stop unregulated growth of the industry. The decision of the

Board was conveyed to all the Zonal Offices and the Regional Offices of the Board vide letter No. 43-57

dated 2/1/2004.

Thereafter, certain queries were received from the field offices and the issue was again

considered by the Board in its 125th meeting held on 25/2/2005 and the Board decided as under:-

"That the consent to operate to such industries, which have been established before or

after 2/1/2004, without obtaining site clearance from Site Appraisal Committee (SAC) and /or NOC from

pollution angle from the Board, shall not be granted NOC/consent till such time the industry obtains site

clearance from the SAC so as to check haphazard growth of such industries".

This decision of the Board was conveyed to all the officers vide letter No. CSA/03/21st

Meet/10149-74 dated 8/3/2005.

81

Now, certain representations in this regard were received from various Industrial

Associations. Accordingly, the matter was again put up before the Board in its 132nd meeting held on

24/5/2006 vide item no. 132.12 and the Board decided not to apply its decision dated 8/3/2005 to

industries existing prior to 2/1/2004 and further decided that the Board shall continue to grant consents

to these industries, in consonance to its policy of shifting of existing industries from the non-designated

areas to designated areas, but, without asking them to obtain prior site clearance from the Site

Appraisal Committee.

You are, therefore, requested to take necessary action to ensure compliance of the

above decision of the Board in future and bring it into notice of all concerned.

PREAMBLE

1.1 India is unique in terms of biological diversity due to its unique biogeographical

location, diversified climatic condition and enormous ecodiversity and

geodiversity. India contributes 10% to the world's Biological Diversity. Punjab,

the 'land of five rivers' is a relatively small state of India occupying an area of

50,362 Sq. Km. Situated between river Ravi in the North-West and Ghaggar in

the east, Punjab shares its boundaries with Jammu & Kashmir in the North,

Himachal Pradesh in the North-East and Haryana and Rajasthan to its South.

the state also shares a 300 km. long international border with Pakistan on the

western side.

1.2 Punjab has rich biodiversity which, however, is severely threatened and needs

to be conserved. The state has so far notified 16 Protected Areas out of which

there are 13 Wildlife Sanctuaries, 2 Community Reserves and one Conservation

Reserve. There is no National Park in the State. Most of the protected areas are

of small size and are hence extremely vulnerable to industrial and other

pollution sources in their immediate vicinity. These guidelines frame the policy

in respect of existing and future industry in the eco-sensitive areas around the

Protected Areas.

2. MISSION

The State shall endeavour to protect, conserve and maintain wildlife

sanctuaries and strive to safeguard the representative ecosystems, habitats and

species in them and shall discharge its responsibilities by providing pollution

free environment in the vicinity of wildlife sanctuaries/zoos and seeking strong

commitment from industrial units to fulfill their obligations for the careful

stewardship of wildlife sanctuaries whilst recognizing the need to integrate the

interests of people and nature.

113

3. OBJECTIVES

To achieve the above mission, the policy seeks to pursue the following

objectives :

a) Identification of Industrial units/activities located within 500 meters

distance of wildlife sanctuaries/zoos of the State.

b) Categorisation of industrial units/activities as per "Siting Guidelines" of

Punjab Pollution Control Board issued from time to time.

c) Assessing the impact of existing industrial units/activities on the health

of ecosystem and fauna in the wildlife sanctuaries/zoos.

d) Establishing guidelines for the shifting of industrial units/activity or

monitoring the activities of existing units

or

Setting up of new industrial units within 500 meters distance of wildlife

sanctuaries/zoos.

e) Enforcement of standards and norms in the delineated 500 meter radius

zone around wildlife sanctuaries/zoos as per guidelines.

f) Enunciate mechanism/processes to declare the areas located within 500

meters of sanctuaries/zoos as an eco-sensitive zone and bringing it

under legal enactment for strict enforcement and compliance of the

directives.

4. STRATEGIES

Annexure-14

Government of Punjab Department of Science, Technology, Environment

and Non Conventional Energy

NOTIFICATION No.3/6/07/STE(4)/2274 Dated;25th July,2008

Whereas, it is necessary and expedient to take steps under section 5 and

section 7 of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and the Rules framed their

under, to maintain ecological balance, to prevent environmental degradation

and to avoid human health hazard in the State.

2. And whereas, in order to resolve the complex issue regarding siting of

residential project in the vicinity of industrial units/industrial areas and to

frame consolidated guidelines after considering all other guidelines/

instructions/notifications issued by Govt. of India/State Government and

various Pollution Control Boards, the Govt. of Punjab constituted a

committee headed by the Chief Secretary , Punjab which in its meeting

held on 8.6.2007, observed that in case of knowledge based industry like

electronic/I.T. Parks etc. where there is no discharge of any type, there

may not be any necessity of any buffer distance between the industry

and the residents. In fact, the concept of walk to work is being

encouraged, world wide, in green industries. The SEZ policy of Govt. of

India also permits development and co-existence of non-polluting and

non-hazardous industries. Similarly, the Punjab State Industries and

export corporation policy/industrial policy of the State Govt. have

provision for co-existence of residential and industrial establishment in

industrial parks./focal points. The committee also observed that new

sophisticated technological development today enable us to curb the

levels of pollutants from various categories of industries eliminating or

substantially minimizing the ill effects of industrial emission/discharge.

125

The pressure of ever increasing population, fast urbanization and nearly

double digit economic growth make it imperative that natural resources

including land, are optimally utilized. This calls for co-existence of

residential projects and industry of course, with proper safe guard

measures.

3. And whereas, it was noticed that no such minimum distance in locating

residential colony/ commercial complexes from existing industrial

complex has been fixed either by the Ministry of Housing and Urban

Development, the Ministry of Environment & Forest, Govt. of India, or

other State Pollution Control Boards from where information could be

obtained. Noticing further that in case of air and water pollution,

prescription of any such distance say 500 metres or even 100 metres,

may become more or less fruitless because pollution if created shall

spread beyond the prescribed distance. The Bhopal gas tragedy is too

recent to be forgotten. Therefore, the focus has to be on strict and rigid

pollution and risk control measures. Fortunately, the Pollution Control

Acts, provides a comprehensive system and mechanism, laying standard

and norms which the committee recommended, should be rigorously

enforced. Primarily, the committee observed that the need was to ensure

public safety for which the distance from source of hazard was relevant

for locating residential colony/commercial Complex.

4. And whereas, the committee also held a public hearing on the issue of

evolving the siting guidelines on 2.6.2007, which was attended by the

representatives of the industries as well as representatives of on going

residential complexes in the State. It was pointed out at the time of

public hearing that some of the existing and on going residential projects

are located as per the draft master plan in residential zones/Municipal

area etc. and some of these cases have got a detailed EIA study done

and obtained approval after proper public hearing. It was further

126

represented that the committee should take into account the huge

investments made by the project promoters as well as the individual

buyers of these properties.

5. And whereas, it was resolved that to solve the issue of siting in a logical

manner and on permanent basis, there is an urgent need to immediately

prepare the Master Plans for the entire State, designating industrial and

residential zones. Once these plans are in position, the respective activity

should be allowed only in the designated zone, thus eliminating conflict

between industrial and residential usage of land.

6. Accordingly, in supersession of earlier guidelines framed by the Punjab

Pollution Control Board vide letter no. GPC/Gen/4/419/2006/876-96

dt.17.1.2006 and any other guidelines/notification issued by the Board

from time to time, the State Govt. vide its notification no. 3/6/07/STE

(4)/2851 dt.7.8.2007 laid down the siting policy/guidelines for

establishment of residential colonies, commercial establishment like

shopping malls, multiplexes in the State of Punjab, wherein, a minimum

distance of 100 metres from the source of pollution hazard of the

Maximum Accident Hazard (MAH) industries notified by Director General

Factory Service Labour Institute to the building line of residential

colonies/commercial complex was prescribed.

The above said notification was further reviewed by the committee under the

Chairmanship of Chief Secretary, Punjab as per the observations of Hon‟ble

High Court in CWP no.18632 of 2005. This committee further decided to

increase the distance of building line of the coming up residential settlement

from the Maximum Accident Hazardous source from 100 mts to 250 mts. in the

above said notification. It was also decided by this committee that minimum

buffer of 15 metres green belt of broadleaf trees should be provided by the

colonizer towards the air polluting industries, boundary of which are located

within 100 metres from the boundary of such air polluting industries.

127

Now, therefore, in supersession of earlier notification no. 3/6/07/STE(4)/2851

dt. 7.8.2007 issued by the State Govt. and any other guidelines/notification

issued by the State Govt./Punjab Pollution Control Board from the existing

industries and in exercise of the powers conferred under section 5 of the

Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 read with Rules 5 (I) (vi) of the

Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, the Governor of Punjab is pleased to notify

the siting policy/guidelines for establishment of residential colonies, commercial

establishment like shopping malls, multiplexes in the State of Punjab as under;

1. The Master Plan is the final legal solution to planned development and

hence the master plans be prepared in a time bound manner on priority.

2. All residential colonies, commercial establishments like shopping malls

multiplexes etc. shall maintain a minimum distance of 250 metres from the

hazardous (Maximum Accident Hazard) industries notified by Director

General Factory Advise Service Labour Institute. The distance should be

measured from the source of pollution/hazard (e.g. storage tank, gas

chamber etc.) in the industrial premises to the building lines as per Zoning

Plan, of residential colonies/commercial complex. This notification would not

have an overriding affect on any Act/Rules/Orders of the Govt. of India/

State Govt. which prescribe a distance of more than 250 metres from such

source of hazard and the said prescribed distance shall be maintained. The

notification/ orders issued by the State Govt./ Punjab Pollution Control

Board relating to siting of industries namely stone crushers, rice shellers,

saila plants, brick Kilns, cement plants, grinding units, hot mix plants and

other industries shall remain operative and unaffected by this

policy/notification. In order to resolve any dispute regarding measurement

or other related issues, an inspection committee comprising of Chairman,

Punjab Pollution Control Board or his nominee, Chief Inspector of Factories,

Punjab or his nominee, Chief Town Planner, Punjab or his nominee and a

nominee of the Department of Industries is hereby constituted. This

128

inspection committee will be headed by the Chairman, Punjab Pollution

Control Board who will also act as convener of the said committee.

3. Minimum buffer of 15 metres green belt of broadleaf trees should be

provided by the colonizer towards the air polluting industries, boundary of

which are located within 100 metres from the boundary of such air polluting

industries. This would be included as a clause both by licencing authorities

of Housing Department as well by Punjab Pollution Control Board. The

species/varieties of trees shall be decided in consultation with Forest

Department.

4. In view of the fact that these guidelines may affect few existing housing

complexes and also that some projects in the pipeline may not be

conforming to the policy and also the fact that huge investments made by

the project proponents and the prospective buyers in the these project, it is

decided that all such project which are not covered under the policy, shall

be studied on unit to unit basis by the above said inspection committee as

per the guidelines prescribed above with Public safety being the prime

concern.

The industries, which are applying first time, the calculation of consent

fee shall be @ as applicable at that time and subsequently increased rates in the

following years. The investment for calculating the fee will be as per the C.A certificate

w.r.t gross fixed assets (GFA) at that time. The industry will submit the year wise C.A

certificate for all the previous years for which consent fee is to be calculated. In case

of non-availability of records of the gross fixed assets of the previous years, the last

available value of the gross fixed assets as certified by the C.A. will be taken as the

base of calculating the consent fee for the previous years. In addition to the consent

to operate fee, the industry will also deposit the consent to establish fee for the

increased component of the gross fixed assets wherever there is an increase in the

gross fixed assets.

An illustrative example for calculating the fee in the above mentioned is

deposit the fee valid upto end of the particular month as mentioned above. For

example, if a particular small scale red category industry has applied for consent for

four years and the consent to the industry is approved for grant by the Competent

Authority on 22/1/2013 and as per the present practice followed by the Board, the

expiry period of the consent becomes 21/1/2017, but as per the proposal the industry

needs to grant consent upto 30/6/2017. Thus, in case the industry has capital

investment of 8 crore and it has deposited Rs. 60,000/- (Rs. 15,000/- per year) as

consent fee for four years i.e. upto 21/1/2017 but in order to grant consent to this

industry upto 30/6/2017, the industry has deposit the additional consent fee as

under:-

15000 x 5 15000 x 9 15000 x M15000 x D

--------------- + ------------- = Rs. 6250+Rs. 370 = Rs. 6620 i.e. ---------------- + -----------------

12 365 12 365

Where M = Number of Months in excess of prescribed validity period,

Where D = Number of Days in excess of prescribed validity period

Therefore, the industry has to deposit Rs. 60,000/- + Rs. 6620/- = Rs.

66620/- to make the consent valid for four years with expiry date on 30/6/2017, in the

152

case the consent is issued on 22/1/2013. Such practice may be adopted for other

category of industries i.e. Large, Medium, Small (Red/Orange/Green) as per Table-II

mentioned above.

153

Annexure-23

How to calculate the fee to be consumed out of the fee deposited for 15 years

In cases, where the industry had already obtained consent to operate for

15 years and the same is still valid, but the industry has applied for varied consent

the fee is to be calculated as under:-

Suppose the industry was granted consent to operate for 15 years in year 2002 and it

had deposited Rs. 'M' on account on consent fee against Gross Fixed Assets of Rs. 'A'.

The said consent is valid upto 31/3/2017 and suppose the industry also made

expansion in the year 2006-07 but did not obtain varied consent at that time. The

value of Gross Fixed Assets had become Rs. 'B' in the year 2006-07.

The fee consumed for the year 1/4/2002 to 31/3/2006 = 'M' x 4/15

Balance fee available from Rs. 'M' already deposited = M-('M' x 4/15)

Further the fee is to be calculated as illustrated in Annexure-21.

OFFICE ORDER

No. 144

Dated: 24.6.2009

For the effective implementation of the provisions of the Water (Prevention & Control

of Pollution) Act, 1974, Air Act, 1981 and Environment Protection Act (EPA), 1986 and

Rules framed there under, it is imperative that the monitoring of effluent treatment

plants, air pollution control systems, ground water quality are required to be carried

out by the Board.

In some of the cases, the Board gets Bank Guarantee from the industries/project

proponents as an assurance to achieve the standards prescribed by the Board/comply

with the various conditions imposed by the Board.

Also, in some of the cases, the Board issues necessary directions u/s 33-A of the

Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, 31-A of the Air Act, 1981 and

section-5 of the EPA to the industries which violate the provisions of the said Acts for

closure of the industries and refusal/revocation of consents.

However, it has been observed that after making necessary compliance of the

provisions of the said Acts, the concerned industry submits its report with the request

to restore the power connection of the industry and/or release of Bank Guarantee

submitted by the industry/project proponent. Accordingly, the concerned Regional

Office/Zonal Office recommends the case of the industry for permanent restoration of

electric connection of the industry and/or release of Bank Guarantee submitted by the

industry as an assurance to comply with the provisions of the relevant Act on the

basis of analysis results of single sample of effluent/emission sample, which is not

sufficient to adjudge the adequacy/efficacy of the treatment system. Thus, on the

basis of analysis results of single sample of effluent/air emission, it is not appropriate

160

to restore the power connection of the industry permanently and/or release the Bank

Guarantee of the industry.

In view of the above, the competent authority of the Board had decided that as and

when the request of the industry/project regarding permanent restoration of electric

connection of the industry/project and/or release of Bank Guarantee is received by

the Board, the concerned Regional Office/Zonal Office shall make recommendations

for the restoration of permanent electric connection and/or release of Bank

Guarantee only after adjudging the adequacy/efficacy of the treatment system on the

basis of three effluent/emission samples collected on different dates and these

samples must comply with the effluent/emission samples.

These orders shall come into force with immediate effect.

PUNJAB POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD VATAVATAN NABHA ROAD, PATIALA

No.GPC/Gen/F.No.434/2005/173

Dated. 7/3/2005 OFFICE ORDER

Ludhiana is an industrial hub of State of Punjab and there are

approximately more than 20,000 nos. of industries operating in the city of

Ludhiana. Out of which 200 nos. are large and medium scale industries, 2500 nos.

are small scale industries of red category and approximately more than 17,500 nos.

of industries are of green category. So more than 80% of total industries operating

in Ludhiana are small scale tiny units of green category mainly engaged in

manufacturing Hosiery garments, machining of sewing machine parts, cycle parts,

auto parts, hand tools etc.

Punjab Pollution Control Board has mainly laid stress in pollution

control in red category of industries. The Board has laid down the policy for red

category of industries operating in non-designated area and as per the policy, the

industries are required to be shifted to designated area. The time period has been

extended in the past few years and recently the time period has been extended by

the Board upto 30/6/2005. The main motive behind the policy of the Board is not

to allow the establishment of any designated area of five highly polluting towns of

the State of Punjab. Ludhiana city, is one of them. The main stress of the Board

was on red category of industries but the policy was implemented in totality in all

type of industries, which included green category of industries also.

The Board has been receiving large number of representations from

various Industrial Associations of Ludhiana and also from the office of Chairman,

- 190 -

PSEB to allow extension in electric connection to existing green category of

industries in Ludhiana.

The process involved in existing Hosiery units are knitting on flat knit

machine and stitching of garments. The trade in the International market has been

opened to all. The hosiery units in particular when go in for modernization /

expansion, has to purchase computerized knitting machinery which cost them 1

crore to 5 crores investment in plant and machinery and also requires

enhancement of electric connection to operate these machinery so that they can

complete the product manufactured at international level. Further, due to the

addition of such type of computerized knitting machine, there is neither any

increase in pollution load of water or air.

A letter has been received from PSEB vide which it has been

intimated that a large number of green category industries are operating

particularly in Ludhiana in non designated area but predominantly resident area,

the industries are operating overload thus causing revenue loss to PSEB. The PSEB

has requested to release one time 100% load to such industries with certain

conditions, which will not cause any increase in pollution load.

The Board vide its notification no. 178/98/1 dated 20/1/1998 decided

that marginally polluting industries as per Schedule-I which cater to the daily need

of the community shall be permitted to be set up within commercial and other than

residential area of the town after obtaining consent to establish from the Punjab

Pollution Control Board under green category and in municipal areas other than

residential and commercial, consent to establish will be granted on merit after

assessing the suitability in each individual case. Though the Board is pressurizing to

shift the industries from the residential areas, however, till date there is no such

concrete policy to shift the existing industries from the non-designated areas to

- 191 -

designated areas. The main green category industry in Ludhiana is relating to

hosiery goods manufacturing. Due to modernization to improve the quality of the

product the latest machinery is being installed and for which additional electric load

is required. With this modernization or increase in production there be no increase

in pollution load.

In view of the above, it has now been decided that the existing green

category of industries located in non-designated areas may be permitted an

extension in power load upto 100% of their existing sanctioned load for the

purpose or modernization / expansion / regularization of over load subject to the

following conditions:

1. The industry will submit an affidavit that there will be no addition of plant and machinery generating pollution load consequent upon the increase in power load upto 100% of the existing sanctioned load at the same location and there will be no increase or addition in pollution load either on modernization or by expansion.

2. That the industry must have either valid consent to operate of the Board or should have applied for the consent to operate of the Board for the existing unit.

3. That the industry shall apply for the „consent to establish‟ on simplified green category prescribed proforma and shall deposit the requisite consent to establish fee as applicable for the expansion / modernization of the project irrespective of cost. The industry shall submit details of the plant and machinery to be installed with tentative extension in electric load.

4. That this facility will be extended to the existing green category of industries operating in non designated area.

5. That this relaxation is applicable only for modernization / expansion of the industry restricted as one time benefit only.

Punjab Pollution Control Board, Head Office, Patiala No. CSA/06/P-48/7845

Dated: 08-12-2006 Office Order

The Board in its 133th meeting held on 26/10/2006, while discussing the

matter regarding shifting of industries from non-designated areas has taken a

serious view about the industries which, though, are operating in the designated

areas but are not properly operating their pollution control devices and also have

made substantial expansions creating problem to the existing infrastructure

available in the designated area. The Board, therefore, desired that to ensure

regular operation of pollution control devices, the industries be directed to :

1. Provide separate energy meters on their pollution control devices.

2. Maintain chemical register showing the consumption of chemicals for

running the pollution control devices.

3. Provide manhole outside the premises of the industry for collection of

sample of the trade effluent without entering the industry.

4. Direct the industry to stick to original capacity for which the infrastructure

such as CETP/Sewerage grid etc. are designed and in case the industry

wants to enhance the capacity over and above the designed capacity, it

would be required to take care of the additional quantity of the effluent,

itself without damaging the existing infrastructure.

All the industries discharging their effluent should be directed to comply with

the above decisions of the Board.

BOARD NOTIFICATION No.GPC/F.No.133/Admn/F.No./783/2007/265 Date: 17-9-2007

The provisions of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act,

1974 and the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 made it

mandatory that each industrial unit should establish/operate with consent to

establish /operate from the State Board under these Acts. Accordingly,

under the provisions of section 25/26 of the Water (Prevention & Control of

Pollution) Act, 1974 and section 21 of the Air (Prevention & Control of

Pollution) Act, 1981, each industrial plant gets itself registered, in terms of

consent, with the Board. New Industrial Plants are commissioned after

obtaining consent to establish and clearance certificate from the Board for

release of electric connection by Punjab State Electricity Board. But some

times due to dispute between the partners/Directors of the Firms or some

other reasons such as financial loss or bankruptcy, the firms are closed by

owners of these industries without surrounding the electric connection. The

owners of such industries some time inform the Board about closing of their

unit. Accordingly, the Board closes the files of such industries maintained

under the provisions of Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974,

the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and the Environment

(Protection) Act, 1986 .But it has been observed by the Board that with the

passage of time, these industries are sold or lease to new owners, which

start process/operation in such premises of highly polluting in nature. The

owners/lessee of these firms never apply to the Board for consent to

establish/operate as required under the provisions of said Acts and continue

to cause environmental pollution without taking any preventive measures.

The matter was placed before the Board in its 135th meeting held on

30/05/2007 and it was decided by the Board that in future whenever any

industry is closed on its own, its electric connection must be got

disconnected from the Punjab State Electricity Board so that it could not be

restarted without the NOC clearance of the Board. The PSEB will restore the

- 231 -

electric connection on production of NOC/Consent obtained from Board by

the operator of new unit.

Environmental Engineers of the Board under the Water (Prevention & Control of

Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981:-

i) To grant /refusal of consent to establish/operate to Small Scale, Red

ii) To take action against small scale industries u/s 41 to 48 of the Water

Act, 1974 and u/s 37 to 41 of the Air Act, 1981.

- 236 -

Further, the Board has also delegated powers to the Environmental

Engineer of the Regional Office/Nodal Office for grant/refusal of

consent to establish/operate to small scale industries falling under

green category under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution)

Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.

But it has generally been noticed that the officers are not exercising

the powers delegated to them by the Board and sending the cases of their

competency to the higher authorities of the Board, which unnecessarily increases

the work load with them. It has also been noticed that cases of small scale

industries, where the report is to be sent to the Ministry of Environment &

Forests/Central Pollution Control Board/State Govt./ District Authorities, prior

approval of Chairman is not taken. The Chairman of the Board took a very serious

note of it.

It is, therefore, requested that in future, all the officers will exercise

the power delegated to them by the Board and decide the cases of their

comptetency on merits. Aslo, the cases of small scale industries, where the report

is to be sent to the Ministry of Environment& Forests/Central Pollution Control

Board/State Govt./District Authorities, prior approval of the Chairman of the Board

is required to be taken. In case of any deviation in exercising the powers as

delegated by the Board, will be viewed seriously.

OFFICE ORDER

The Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 provides that

the analysis results of a sample of any sewage or trade effluent collected u/s 21 of

the saidAct shall be admissible in evidence of any legal proceedings, in case, the

provisions of sub-sections(3), (4) & (5) are complied with.

The Board is practicing to collect monitoring grab or composite

samples of sewage or trade effluent where the adequacy of the STP/ETP is to be

ascertained. Further, the samples of sewage or trade effluent are collected u/s 21

of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, where any industry is

operating its industrial plant in violation of provisions of the said Act. But it has

generally been noticed that sewage or trade effluent samples are collected without

ascertaining the situation of the case, therefore, such analysis results of sewage or

trade effluent became futile exercise. As such, to overcome such type of hurdles, it

has been decided by the Chairman of the Board that:-

1. Samples of the sewage or effluent treatment plant is to be collected u/s 21

of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 strictly as per the

procedure laid down in the said section and the relevant Rule, from the final

outlet of the industry in the following cases.

i) Where no STP/ETP has been installed by the industry.

ii) Where the STP/ETP has been installed but the industry is persistent

violation in respect of achieving the standards as laid down by the

Board.

iii) The industry has adopted any bye-pass for discharge of sewage or

trade effluent from STP/ETP.

iv) In case, the industry is found operating the outlet without operating

the STP/ETP and even partially the components of the STP/ETP.

v) Any industry is found operating any unauthorized mode of disposal.

- 238 -

2. Monitoring sewage or trade effluent samples is to be collected only when:

i) Where the industry has installed STP/ETP and the same is

found in operation and the samples of sewage or trade effluent

is to be collected first time.

ii) The industry has installed STP/ETP and the same is found in

operation and the previous record indicates that the industry is

achieving the standards laid down by the Board.

3. The sample collecting officer may collect samples of sewage or trade effluent

from different components of STP/ETP, if he feels so, to draw any inference

in the case as mentioned above at Para 1(ii)

All the concerned officer/official shall collect samples of trade effluent

or sewage strictly as stated above and any deviation in this regard will be viewed

seriously.

This issues with the approval of the Worthy Chairman of the Board.

OFFICE ORDER

No. 307

Dated 15/10/2008

In order to check the pollution potential and/ or monitor the

performance of the pollution control system installed by the industries, teams of

the officers of the Board are constituted from time to time. The mandate of the

teams is to check surprising the performance of the pollution control systems

installed by the industries to control water, air, noise and management of

hazardous waste/bio-medical waste/solid waste/any other pollution. However, it

has been observed that the inspection reports of the visiting teams are not

received in time and these are submitted even after period of one month from the

date of inspection of the industry. Thus, the very purpose of inspection of the

industry is defeated.

It has, therefore, been decided that all the inspection teams should

submit their inspection reports including the analysis results of effluent, air

emissions, noise levels, water samples, soil samples and any other parameters

pertaining to the particular industry within a period of 7 days from the date of

inspection of the industry. The visiting teams are liable to be answerable in case

the visiting reports are not received within the period of 7 days. Further, the Head

of Visiting Team will hand over the observation sheet including copy of data sheet

to the Member Secretary of the Board on the same day on which the industry is

OFFICE ORDER

Subject: Regarding compliance of the directions issued u/s 33-A of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, u/s 31-A of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and u/s 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.

As you are aware of the facts that the Board issued directions 33-A

of Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and/or u/s 31-A of Air

(Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 or u/s 5 of the Environment

(Protection) Act, 1986 to the industries/development projects generating hazardous

waste for violations of provisions of the said Acts and Rules. But it has been

observed that the compliance of the directions are not monitored in true spirit and

meticulously by concerned Regional Officers/Zonal Officers. Many times it has been

found that the temporary electric connection/restoration permitted to the industrial

units for short period are not brought to the notice of the competent authority after

the expiry of the stipulated period, resulting in operation of the industries/units

without any permission in violation of the compliance of the directions issued by

the Board. Moreover, the effluent/air samples of these industries are not collected

within the stipulated period which also results in delay for taking further action on

these directions.

Thus, the timely monitoring of compliance of the directions issued by

the Board is quite indispensable i.e. monitoring report alongwith recommendations

should be made available to the Board atleast 15 days before the expiry of the

temporary power connection.

Therefore, it has been decided by the competent authority that timely

report on monitoring of compliance of directions including the sample collection

and analysis data alongwith recommendations should be sent to the competent

authority

- 250 -

Any deviation from the above shall be viewed seriously and shall

attract disciplinary action against erring officers.

Subject: Regularization of consents for operation of additional Machinery/ Modification/Increase in production capacity by industries/project proponent under the various provisions of Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.

It has been observed that there are some industries, which had been

established and commissioned without obtaining the consent to establish/operate

of the Board required under the provisions of the Water (Prevention & Control of

Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. Some of

the industries had carried out expansion of their existing industrial plants without

the prior approval of the Board. Some of such units are also covered under the

First Schedule of The Factories Act, 1948 and/or Press Note 17 (1984 series) but

they have not obtained site clearance/environmental clearance from SCA-cum-SAC

as required under the Law. Later on, such units have voluntarily approached the

Board for obtaining the consent to operate and/or SCA-cum-SAC for obtaining the

site clearance / environmental clearance for regularization of their establishment.

Furthermore, many other such units are still operating without approaching the

Board and/or SCA-cum-SAC. The matter was considered by the Board in its 153rd

meeting held on 9.9.2011 and it has been decided as under:

i) Units covered under the First Schedule of Factories Act, 1948 and/or Press Note 17 (1984 series) as well as EIA Notification dated 14.9.2006.

In case, such units are established and commissioned without

obtaining the consent to establish/operate of the Board / have carried out

expansion of their existing industrial plants without the prior approval of the Board

/ have made alterations or variations without the consent to establish of the Board,

then such units should be granted consent to operate by the Board only after they

- 270 -

obtain site clearance/ environmental clearance from SCA-cum-SAC as well as

environmental clearance under the provisions of EIA Notification dated 14.9.2006,

if required. However, the consent fee for the period prior to submission of consent

application to the Board should be charged at higher rate i.e. 2 times of the normal

fee presently being charged by the Board for each financial year. The fraction of

year shall be counted as a full financial year.

ii) Units covered under the First Schedule of Factories Act, 1948 and/or Press Note 17 (1984 series) but not under EIA Notification dated 14.9.2006.

Board/have failed to get the consent renewed in time, then such units should be

meeting with the prescribed siting criteria prescribed by the Board and they have

taken adequate and appropriate pollution control measures. However, the consent

fee for the period prior to submission of consent application to the Board should be

charged at higher rate i.e. one and half times of the normal fee presently being

charged by the Board for each financial year. The fraction of year shall be counted

as a full financial year.

In case, such units are not meeting with the prescribed siting criteria

of the Board, then such units should be issued directions for closure of their units

or revert back to the sanctioned capacity, as the case may be.

Subject: Permissions for the disposal of material confiscated under NDPS Act, by the police authorities and other agencies.

The Board is receiving regular requests from the police authorities

seeking permission for the disposal of drugs and other materials confiscated under

the NDPS Act. These authorities sought such permission at a very short notice. As

per present practice, such requests are routed through various channels causing lot

of time for final issuance of such permissions.

To overcome this problem, the competent authority has decided that,

in future, such permissions will be granted by the concerned Regional Officer in

whose jurisdiction the Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility or the industry having

incinerator falls, where these material has to be disposed off. The concerned

Regional Officer may issue such permissions after checking the surplus capacity of

the incinerators provided by such facility/industry and send the copy of the

permission to the Additional Secretary, BMW Cell, SAS Nagar for his information

and record.

This issues with the approval of the Chairman of the Board.
