The Unit was in operation.
ETP comprised of Hill screen & Sedicell, Equalization tank, Primary Clarifier, Aeration tank,
Secondary Clarifier and Sludge Drying Beds (SDBs).
The Unit's fresh water consumption is about 11 23m 3/tone of production.
The outlet of effluent sample analysis from ETP showed TSS-317mg/I, BOD-520 mg/1 and COD 1709mg/1; which indicates non-compliance against the effluent discharge standards as prescribed
under Charter of 75mg/I; 30 mg/I and 225mg/I respectively. The MLSS in the aeration tank was 784
mg/I indicating unstabilisation of ETP system.

WHEREAS, the Unit was inspected by a team of officials from CPCB on 10.10.2012 under NGRBA project for
carrying out adequacy assessment of pollution control measures taken by the unit and following observations were
made:
The Unit is having production capacity of rectified spirit of 60 KLD and generates about 720 KLD (12
times of alcohol production) of spent wash. During inspection the unit was operating at 45 KLD. The Unit
was in operation during rainy season.
Source of water is bore wells; however no flow meter is installed to record the actual water consumption.
The ETP consists of setting tank, digester, membrane filtration (RO), RO reject tank (1875 m'; 5 days
storage), storage lagoon and composting (Active Area 7.5 Acres) for treatment and disposal of effluent.
The capacity of RO plant is 700 KLD and it generates 50 % reject (360 KLD), which is taken for
biocomposting.
The unit has compost yard in 7.5 acres area, which is adequate for 49 KLD alcohol production only.
There was no facility for storage of press mud and prepared compost.
The unit has not provided Ground Water quality monitoring network at and around bio-compost yard.
Old digester is being used as lagoon (capacity 20000 m3; 55 day storage). It was empty during inspection.
Non-process effluent (Floor washing, blow downs etc.) is used for land application / ferti-irrigation within
premises.
The quality of non-process effluent was pH-12.1, TSS-298 mg/I, COD-566 mg/I and BOD-343 mg/I. The
value of pH, TSS and BOD exceeds the prescribed limits of 5.5-9.0, 100 mg/I and 100 mg/I respectively.

WHEREAS, the Unit was inspected jointly by a team of officials from CPCB and Uttar Pradesh
Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) on 04.07.2012 to verify the complaint and made the following
observations:
5.
The Unit was in operation and engaged in the production of Writing & Printing paper,
Newsprint of 100 TPD using wastepaper as raw material and 40 TPD using agro based raw
material.
During inspection the Unit was in operation with wastepaper based production and the agro
based production was temporality closed.
The Unit has obtained consent to establish from UP Pollution Control Board for installation of
80 MTPD capacity Chemical Recovery Plant (CRP), which is under installation including trail

The Unit has been identified as the major contributor of pollution of Behta drain and River Sai.
Contd...2/-
1s b-b
The water quality of Behta drain and River Sal indicates possibility of intermittent operation of
chemical pulping using agro based as raw material without having CRP by the Unit and discharge
of untreated/partially treated black liquor into drain, causing river Sai water pollution; and
WHEREAS, CPCB issued directions dated 13.09.2012 under section 5 of the Environment
(Protection) Rules, 1986 to comply with the following directions:
The Unit shall not start agro based production till Chemical Recovery Plant (CRP) is fully
established. The Unit shall seek permission from CPCB to start agro based production after
the installation of CRP.
The Unit shall evaluate its ETP with regard to its treatment capacity & the effluent generated
and shall submit ETP adequacy report within 15 days.
AND WHEREAS, a team of CPCB officials visited the Unit on 26-27.11.2012 to verify the
compliance status of CPCB directions dt. 13.09.2012 and made the following observations:
The Unit has production capacity of 150 TPD writing printing/ newsprint grade paper, with 50
TPD of agro based pulping and 100 TPD of waste paper based production.
On the day of inspection, the Unit production was 75 TPD using wastepaper as raw material.
Agro based pulping was not in operation.
ETP was in operation. ETP system having capacity 5500 KLD, consists of equalization tank,
primary clarifier, aeration tank (with 2x30 hp aerators), secondary clarifier, polishing tank,
SDBs.
Estimated effluent generation was 2800 cum/day (@37 cum/MT of production).
Analysis of samples taken from aeration tank shows MLSS-68.75 mg/I, MLVSS-58 mg/I,
which indicates unstabilisation of the ASP and poor operation and maintenance of ETP
system.
Analysis of effluent sample analysis showed inlet BOD-270 mg/I, COD-902 mg/I, SS_2910
mg/I, whereas Secondary Clarifier outlet BOD-31.9 mg/I, COD- 137 mg/I, SS-36 mg/I, which
comes out to be BOD reduction-88%, COD reduction-85%, SS reduction-99%.
The Unit has not maintained any log book for operation of ETP and not installed separate
energy meter for ETP. SDBs was found damaged and filtrate from SDBs was stagnant at low
lying areas near ETP. Equalization tank was filled with sludge. No water meter has been
installed on 7 nos. bore wells.
As per the adequacy report, power required is 120.75 hp whereas only two aerators of total
capacity 60 hp have been installed in aeration tank. Many dead pockets in aeration tank were
observed. Further, as per the adequacy report, the Unit requires to install (i) Belt Filter
Presses instead of SDBs, (H) Pressure sand filter and activated carbon filter to remove micro
flocs and polishing for colour, and (iii) new krofta sedicell on paper machine no.3, however,
no planning or work has been reported
The Unit has installed conventional CRP with capacity 80 TPD of black liquor solids firing per
day
Behta nalla carries the effluent from the Unit and sewage from Raibarely. Wastewater
samples taken from the drain shows BOD-181 mg/I, COD-571 mg/I, colour - 60 hazen
It is evident from the above observations that the Unit is violating without complying with
the prescribed effluent discharge standards notified under the Environment (Protection)
Rules, 1986, owing to which discharge of untreated/partially treated effluent is posing threat
to the water quality of river Sai.

of the Unit shows high level of COD (852- 349 mg/I) and BOD (302 110 mg/I)
indicating untreated/ partially treated effluent is discharged into the nallha. The
temperature of the water in the nallha was higher indicating the possibility of disposal
of excess condensate from the sugar mill. Large quantity of black sludge and oil and
grease were observed along the sides and bed of the nallha.
12. The Stack monitoring facilities provided are not as per Emission Regulations Part Ill
published by CPCB to facilitate proper monitoring.

3.
The Unit is engaged in the production of Kraft Paper & Paper Board using wastepaper
as raw material. During inspection the Unit was not in operation as the maintenance
work was under progress
It was informed by the Unit's representatives that the Unit's ownership was changed on
November 15, 2012 and the Unit was closed since December 19, 2012. The Unit has
applied for renewal of the consent on March 30, 2012.
Fresh water requirement of the Unit is met through two bore wells and it was observed
that huge amount of water was gushing out from one bore well flowing to the adjacent
nallha, through a bypass drain near back water tank.
Contd...2/-
;896
The Unit has not installed any water meter at the bore well and thereof no logbook is
maintained.
ETP comprises of equalization tank, primary clarifier, aeration tank, and secondary
clarifier. Treated effluent is disposed into a nallha that joins River Pilllakher about 1 km
from the unit and finally joins river Koshi about 15 km downstream.
ETP was not in operation and found defunct. The primary clarifier and secondary
clarifier were being used as an effluent collection tank.
The backwater tank near borewell was found filled with fibre & sludge and dilution of
effluent with fresh water was observed
Aeration tank was found almost empty and was under repair. Aeration tank walls were
found broken.
V notch and energy meter are not installed. Records for water consumption,
wastewater generation, energy meter, chemical consumption and lab records are not
maintained. Color coding of the pipelines not started.
No Adequate lab facility exists.
Housekeeping in the ETP yard was not satisfactory.
The Unit's sampling platform & ladder at the stack is not adequate for stack
monitoring.

WHEREAS, a complaint has been received regarding pollution of Choiya drain, river
Kali and local water bodies caused by untreated effluent discharge from the Unit; and
WHEREAS, the Unit was inspected by a team of officials from Central Pollution
Control Board (CPCB) on 05.10.2012 to verify the public compliant and made the
following observations:
The Unit was not in operation during inspection.
The Unit is engaged in production of about 55 TPD Kraft Paper using waste
paper as raw material.
ETP comprises of Holding tank, Vibro Screen, Primary Clarifier (760 m3),
Aeration tank (1800 m 3 ), Secondary Clarifier (567 m 3 ) and Sludge Drying Beds.
The Unit has chemical pulping facilities such as digesters to manufacture
chemical pulp using agro waste as raw material.
Krofta fibre recovery plant was found defunct and not in operation.
Primary Clarifier was not in operation and was partially filled below the weir line
level.
Effluent was directly fed from holding tanks to aeration tank.
Huge amount of wheat straw is available within the Unit's premises.
The inlet to aeration tank (as primary clarifier was not in operation) effluent
sample analysis shows pH-6.43, BOD-639 mg/I, COD-4832 mg/I, TSS-1656
mg/I. High COD value of influent indicates possibility of black liquor discharge
from chemical pulping.
The ETP outlet sample analysis shows pH-8.23, BOD-05 mg/I, COD-34 mg/I,
TSS-24 mg/I. This shows BOD reduction of 99.22%, COD reduction of 99.30%
& TSS reduction of 98.55%, which indicates dilution of outlet.
MLSS in aeration tank was 7841 mg/I and SVI is estimated as 34.43 ml/gm,
which indicate non-stabilisation of aeration tank.
Analysis of wastewater samples collected from recipient Chhoiya drain at
upstream shows BOD-19 mg/I, COD-56 mg/I & TSS-35 mg/I, whereas at
downstream shows BOD-1708 mg/I, COD-5040 mg/I & TSS-958 mg/I, which
indicates discharge of untreated effluent/ black liquor into the drain.
Strong colour in Chhoiya drain was also observed.
Boiler ash was found outside the Unit premises lying in open area.
It Is evident from the above observations that the Unit does not properly operate
& maintain ETP system on regular basis. Untreated/ partially treated effluent is
discharged into Chhoiya drain causing river Kali water pollution and
environmental degradation of the locality.

representative are used for steam cooking of KCB pulp (T-100C; P-3-3.5 Kg/cm , RT24 hr and 08 m of water) and no chemical is used in the digesters.
Spillages from the digesters were collected and analysed which showed pH-5.16,
BOD-16200 mg/I, COD- 24820 mg/I, SS- 52.0 mg/I & colour-6667 hazen. This high
BOD and COD effluent is sent to ETP.
Filtrate from Sludge Drying Beds is discharged to the Ariel river and sample analysis of
the filtrate showed pH-5.82, BOD-4440 mg/I, COD- 6225 mg/I, SS- 503.0 mg/I and
clour-250 hazen.
9.
It is evident from the above observations that the Unit has not stabilised their ETP
system and progress of charter Implementation programme Is unsatisfactory, owing
to which discharge of partially treated/untreated effluent is posing threat to water
quality of river Ariel and to the surrounding environment;
AND NOW, THEREFORE, in view of the above observations and in exercise of the powers
delegated to the Chairman, CPCB under section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act,
1986, following directions are issued for compliance:
1.
The Unit shall close down all the manufacturing operations till compliance of the
following pollution control measures are taken:

discharge norms prescribed under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
The Unit shall dismantle chemical facilities namely digesters, blown tank, pulp washing
line etc from the Unit premises.
The Unit shall dismantle all the bypass lines and storage lagoons immediately.
The Unit shall comply with the direction of Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board
(UPPCB) issued on 13.08.2012 under section 33A of the Water Act, 1974 for
implementation of the "Charter for Water Recycling and Pollution in Pulp and Paper
Industries in Ganga River Basin".
2.
In case of default in compliance with the above directions by the Unit, CPCB will be
constrained to initiate appropriate action against the Unit, without giving any further notice, in
accordance with the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986

WHEREAS, CPCB issued direction under section 18(1) (b) of the Water Act, 1974 on July
12, 2012 to Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) for implementation of the
"Charter for Water Recycling and Pollution Prevention in Pulp and Paper Industries in Ganga
River Basin" as per the prescribed detailed implementation programme by the identified Pulp
& Paper industries located in catchment of river Ganga; and
WHEREAS, Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) issued direction on 13.08.2012
to the Unit under section 33(A) of the Water Act to implement the 'Charter for Water
Recycling and Pollution Prevention in Ganga River Basin' in the prescribed time bound
manner; and
WHEREAS, the Unit was inspected by a team of CPCB officials on December 07, 2012 for
compliance verification and made the following observations:
The Unit has installed production capacity of about 180-190 MT/day of Kraft paper
using wastepaper as raw material. The Unit and its ETP were found in operation.
Estimated fresh water consumption is about 15 cum/ MT of production and effluent
generation is about 1800 cum/day @ 10 cum/MT of production.
The Unit has ETP system which comprises of equalisation tank, hill Screen, primary
clarifier l& 2, aeration tank, secondary clarifier 1 &2, storage lagoons and filter press.
The Unit has upgraded the ETP system by installation of hill screen, sedicell filter, and
diffused aeration system in aeration tank.
Contd..2/-
-2Analysis of samples taken from aeration tank showed MLSS-1043 mg/I MLVSS-918
mg/I, which indicates unstabilisation of the ASP. However, with secondary treatment,
BOD removal efficiency is about 79%, COD removal efficiency is about 81%, SS
removal efficiency is about 96%. This indicates possibility of dilution in secondary
clarifier as the aeration tank was not fully stabilised.
The Unit has effluent storage tank of about 7400 cum capacity.
Analysis of effluent sample taken from storage tank showed BOD-3340 mg/I, COD5336 mg/I, SS-433 mg/I, which is comparable to primary clarifier outlet having BOD3140 mg/I, COD-6213 mg/I, SS-522 mg/I. It indicates that the Unit has stored primary
treated effluent into the storage tank. Colour of effluent stored in the tank is 500 hazen.
A sewer drain passes through the ETP premises and storm water drain of ETP is
connected with this sewer line. Possibility of discharge of stored effluent could not be
ruled out.
The Unit has claimed to achieve zero effluent discharge (ZLD). However, ZLD could
not be established, conclusively.
The Unit has undertaken measures for implementation of the Charter.
It is evident from the above observations that the Unit's ETP system is unstablised and
the Unit stores primary treated effluent into large storage tank, with potential for
indiscriminate discharge of partially treated/untreated effluent, posing threat to water
quality of river and to its surrounding environment;
AND NOW, THEREFORE, in view of the above observations and in exercising powers
delegated to the Chairman, Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under section 5 of the
Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, the following directions are issued for compliance:
5)
The Unit shall stablise the ETP system to the satisfaction of CPCB, within 15 days.
The Unit shall either dismantle the effluent storage tank or to store with restricted
capacity of five days of treated effluent complying with the prescribed effluent
discharge norms of BOD-30 mg/I only, within 20 days.
The Unit shall immediately dismantle and remove the agro pulping facility from the
Unit's premises and confirm to CPCB within 30 days.
The Unit shall divert the domestic drain passing through the Unit to outside the Unit's
premises.
The Unit shall dismantle all additional pipelines to curtail any possibility of bypassing of
effluent within 20 days.
In case of default in compliance with the above directions by the Unit, CPCB will be
constrained to initiate appropriate action against the Unit, without giving any further notice,
in accordance with provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.

following observations .
The unit had not complied with the directions issued by Gujarat SPCB and continues
to operate coal based gasifier and polluting the environment.
The spray dryer installed by the unit emits significant pollution which
indicates that the APCS i.e. scrubber/multicyclone installed is
inadequate or poorly operated.
Adequate monitoring provision and safe/proper access to the port hole
does not exist in the unit,and monitoring of stack emission could not be
conducted.
The Contaminated/brownish water, generated from coal gas cleaning
and water seal of gas pipeline was spread inside the factory premises
and allowed to overflow on the land inside the plant which has all
probability to contaminate the soil and ground water.
The unit has taken membership of TSDF of Saurashtra Enviro Project
Pvt. Ltd., however the unit has not sent any tar or gasifier related
cleaning water to TSDF.

WHEREAS M/s ONGC Ltd ( Uran unit), Maharashtra ( hereinafter referred to as '
the unit') is a large scale Oil & Gas exploration industry engaged in oil exploration, and
having operating pipelines for transportation of petroleum crude & processing facilities
at Uran ;and
WHEREAS CPCB received complaint about the crude oil leakage at Uran plant
& also learnt from the print media about the environmental pollution caused by the
unit ;and
WHEREAS there was leakage of crude oil from Bombay Uran Trunk (BUT) crude oil
line on 06/10/2013 leading to flow of crude oil through storm water drain ultimately
joining Arabian sea near Mora to Karanja villages ;and
WHEREAS grey black film of oil spill adversely affected local fishermen and raised
ecological concerns was observed at the site; and
WHEREAS the spillages has affected the beaches and coastal areas, besides
adversely affecting the marine environment and ecology in the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS ONGC is required to report any such happenings to concerned SPCB,
CPCB & Coast guard but no such information was provided till October 09 th 2013,
4.00PM to CPCB ;and
WHEREAS the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India, vide
Notifications No. S. 0. 157 (E) of 27.02.1996 and S. 0. 730 (E) dated 10.07.2002, has
delegated the powers vested under Section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986
(29 of 1986) to the Chairman, Central Pollution Control Board, to issue directions to any
industry or any local body or any other authority for violations of the standards and rules
notified under the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 and amendment thereof.

WHEREAS the following directions were proposed to be issued to the
unit vide letter no B-29016/01/PC1-1/oilsoillage/uran/2412-15, dated
09/10/2013.
The unit shall immediately stop pumping of crude oil from BUT line pending further
investigation.
The unit shall submit detail report on the action taken for containment of oil spillage and
steps to be taken for disposal of affected oily water & sand.
WHEREAS MPCB constituted a committee comprising of officials from
MPPCB, NEERI, and Industry representative for investigation of spillage
matter. The committee members inspected the site on October 09, 2013
and observed the following:
Industry used four nos of pneumatic pumps of 150 m 3 /hr for removing oil from
storm water drain and recovered oil mixed with water was pumped into
effluent treatment plant.
Near Peerwadi on South side of helipad two dead snakes were found. Oil
traces on boulders was noticed near Uran Beach Nagar, on South side of
helipad.
WHEREAS a committee comprising of Member Secretary CPCB,
officials from CPCB and representative from IA Division of MoEF visited the
site on October 10, 2013 and observed the following:
The crude oil pumped from the Bombay High in the MUT line is pushed into the old BUT line
within the Plant premises for distribution to the crude stabilization unit. The BUT pipeline is
more than 30 years old.
It was reported that on October 06, 2013, power failure occurred in the Plant which resulted
in increasing pressure in the oil line from normal 7-8 kgf/cm 2 to 25 kgf/cm 2 . This increase in
pressure in the oil line resulted in oil leakage from the 2" dia de-congealing line attached
with the main oil line (i.e. BUT line).
The de-congealing line is provided to supply steam to the main pipe line for melting the
settled wax, if any, along the inner surface of the main crude oil pipe line.
The de-congealing line doesn't carry any crude, but as the leakage occurred in the portion
of the de-congealing line between the valve and its joint with the main pipe line the crude
from the main line entered the de-congealing line and leaked/oozed out.
5. It was informed that the damaged pipeline was isolated, depressurized and leakage point
clamped at around 11.00 PM on 06 th October 2013.
Contd..3..
:3:
On 07th October, 2013, the unit hired the services of M/s Sea Care Marine Services to
recover spilled oil from the drains, around the sea-shore and to clean the oil covered
boulders in the beach area. The unit informed that around 5000 litres of crude oil was
spilled, out of which about 4000 litres was recovered.
The unit informed that the new cable which was charged about 04 days back had
ruptured which could have resulted in disruption of power supply. The matter is being
investigated.
The leakage in the de-congealing line has been clamped. The entire channel wherein
crude oil leakage took place was full with oil and recovery of oil was in progress manually.
The entire channel up to second API was full of oil indicating higher quantum of oil
leakage. Oil marks were visible on the walls indicating higher oil spillage had occurred.
As proper containment system to contain such oil leakage is not provided below the
pipelines conveying crude oil, therefore, the leaked oil had overflown into the storm water
drain which joins the sea at a distance of about 20 meters (outside the Plant premises).
The unit is surrounded by Drona hills on three sides and by the Arabian sea on the fourth.
The entire water from hillock flows through the plant and unit is having seven storm water
drains leading to Arabian Sea. These storm water drains are not completely lined and in
case of any mixing of oil, percolation into the surrounding area cannot be ruled out.
On the sea coast, boulders in a stretch of about 150 meters were seen covered with thin
layer of oil. However, no oil was observed in the sea water.
The workers of M/s Sea Care Marine Services were seen collecting oil from the drain,
spraying emulsifiers on the boulders to separate oil and wiping the boulders manually to
remove the oil. Boomers has been placed at the terminal point of the storm water drain to
check and collect oil flowing in the drain.
The representative of M/s Sea Care Marine Services informed that about 20 barrels of oil
contaminated water has been removed by them and sent to the Plant for processing. The
representative of Uran Plant informed that about 4000 litres of oil has been collected from
within the Plant.
A visual observation of the site indicates that far higher quantity of oil would have spilled.
Most of the pipelines in the Plant are very old (laid in early 90s) and need to be replaced.
The overall housekeeping including the Plant maintenance needs immediate attention.
The leaked oil had overflown into the storm water drain which joins the Arabian Sea at
about 20 meters (from the Plant premises) and even after 03 days of the spillage/leakage,
oil layer was visible in the water flowing in the drain
During the visit within the plant premises, oil was still being collected manually at the
incident site and at the API oil separator.
Contd..4..
:4:
The unit is having an effluent treatment plant comprising of surge pond, coagulated
intercepted plate tank, sand pressure filter, two stage bio towers, polishing pond/guard
pond to treat 16800 m3/day of trade effluent which is disposed into Arabian Sea having
TDS levels more than 30-40000mg/I comprising not only sodium salts but also heavy metals
like chromium, fluoride, lead, mercury , nickel etc., The detailed analysis results of these
were not available as mostly parameters like pH, O&G, SS &BOD are analysed as disposal is
into sea.
As informed, the unit is in the process of up-gradation of ETP and work has been entrusted
to EIL with the objective to incorporate installation of VOC control system, reuse/recycle of
treated effluent as raw water/cooling water. The expected commissioning of upgraded
plant will be around March 2016.
20. Earlier on February 12/ h , 2013, gases separated in crude oil stabilization process and not
getting compressed due to process upset were diverted to flare stack-II of height 80
meters instead of feeding to natural gas feed line as per plant design/safety manual and
flared leading to higher emissions from stacks.
WHEREAS the unit has submitted reply/clarifications vide letter
dated 1 4/1 0/201 3 against the Directions issued intimating:
Most of the oil leaked was confined within the boundary of ONGC Uran
plant, and no adverse impact on Marine environment and ecology.
The closure of the pipeline may not be practically possible due to supply
chain which is connected with the consent refineries.
In Phase-I 65 decongealing pipes have been strengthened, in Phase-II the
strengthening of remaining 65 critical De-congealing pipes are in hand and
expected to be completed by December 2013.
WHEREAS the reply submitted by the unit did not specify any action plan
:5:
The unit shall prepare inventory of all the pipelines specifying their age and
providing action plan for their replacement/rehabilitation.
The unit shall install IT based system like SCADA for monitoring the health of
pipelines and shall provide a time bound action plan to install such a monitoring
and control system.
The unit shall quantify the left over spilled oil in the incident area and from the
drains should be removed immediately.
The contaminated soil and the vegetation in the incident area should be removed
immediately and sent for treatment to the authorised TSDF facility.
The unit shall prepare an action plan to expedite replacement of old/faulty cables
and to install a system for eliminating the defective portion alongwith proper
power back up system.
The area under the pipelines be equipped with fool-proof primary and secondary
oil containment system so that in case of any leakage in the pipelines, the spilled
oil could be collected, removed and taken back to the system abating any
possibility of soil/groundwater contamination and impact to the marine
environment and ecology. The system so designed should be based upon the risk
assessment model studies accounting for the worst case scenario.
The unit has several drains for carrying storm water to Arabian Sea. The unit should
identify all the drains which may carry floor washings etc. and install API system at
the outlet of all such drains.
The unit should explore the possibility to recycle and reuse the treated water
instead of disposing the high TDS treated water to sea and time bound action plan
shall be submitted.
The unit should conduct a study to assess the impact on marine life due to disposal
of effluent containing high TDS alongwith heavy metals in the sea at a distance of
1.5 km. from the shore.
The unit shall submit an action plan to ensure compliance with the
above Direction within 15 days of the date of the Direction along with
a bank guarantee of Rs 1.0 crores valid till 31/12/2014 incorporating
the clause that the Central Pollution Control Board may forfeit the
bank guarantee for non-compliance of any of the above
compliance. The bank guarantee shall be furnished by November 15,
2013.
13. The compliance of Direction at S.No. 1 shall be informed immediately
after taking action.
You are hereby directed to comply with the directions listed above. In case of your
failure to comply with the above-proposed directions CPCB will be constrained to
initiate necessary action under the provisions of Environment Protection Act, 1986.
