During inspection, the Unit was not in operation. As informed by the Unit's
representative, the Unit was closed since 6/12/12.
The Unit's ETP was also not in operation. No active biomass was observed at the
aeration tank. Analysis of sample taken from aeration tank showed MLSS-147
mg/I, MLVSS-82 mg/I, ratio of MLVSS/MLSS=0.55, indicating un stabilization of
the ETP system.
Partially treated/ untreated effluent is discharged into Aeril River which meets
River Ramganga.
The Unit has not done any work towards implementation of the Charter.

WHEREAS, CPCB issued direction under section 18(I)(b) of the Water Act, 1974 on July 12, 2012 to
Uttarakhand Environment Protection and Pollution Control Board (UEPPCB) for implementation of
prescribed detailed implementation programme (DIP) of "Charter for Water Recycling and Pollution

WHEREAS, Uttarakhand Environment Protection and Pollution Control Board (UEPPCB) issued
direction on 01.8.2012 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 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.
The aeration tank has been upgraded with installation of jet type aerators and commissioned on
November 30, 2012 and still under stabilization.
The Unit has procured pressure sand filter of designed flow rate 60 cum/hr for installation for
tertiary treatment system.
Contd...2/-

IC P

The Unit claimed to be operating on zero effluent discharge with recycle of effluents in the process.
Analysis of effluent taken from recirculation line showed BOD-541 mg/I, COD-1910 mg/I, TSS-1005
mg/I, which indicates possibility of reuse of effluent within the process.
It is evident from the above observations that the Unit has not stabilised 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 and to the
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:

and
WHEREAS, the Unit was inspected by a team of CPCB officials on December 06, 2012 for compliance
verification and made the following observations:
The Unit was in operation.
ETP comprised of Equalization tank, Primary Clarifier, Aeration tank, Secondary Clarifier and
Sludge Drying Beds (SDBs).
Primary Clarifier was not in operation and taken out from ETP line. The effluent from equalization
tank was directly pumped to fibre screening machine and then to Aeration Tank.
In the Aeration tank, out of six surface aerators, only two were in operation and remaining were
not in working condition. Out of five sludge drying beds one was under repair and others were
empty.
The Unit claimed to be operating on zero effluent discharge, except reject from RO which is
used for feeding water to the boiler
The treated effluent sample analysis from ETP showed TSS-370 mg/I; BOD-6181 mg/I, COD10882 mgff, 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 933 mg/I indicating non-operation of Aeration Tank.
Contd...2/-

The Unit has not established laboratory for sample analysis.


Bypass arrangements was observed outside the Unit's premises for boiler section RO reject.
Analysis of effluent collected from recirculation points showed, Recirculation point.1 pH-6.39, BOD5259 mgA, COD-11748 mg/I, TSS-439 mg/I, Recirculation Point.2 pH-6.37, BOD-2322 mg/I, COD10705 mg/I, TSS-326 mg/I
No progress with regard to implementation of the Charter was observed.
It is evident from the above observations that the Unit has not operated and maintained ETP
system and progress of charter implementation programme was unsatisfactory, owing to which
discharge of partially treated/untreated effluent is posing threat to water quality of river and to
the 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:
The Unit shall close down all the manufacturing operations and shall report the compliance to

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 and its ETP were in operation with production capacity of about 50 TPD.
The Unit has installed ETP comprising of Collection Tank, Hill screen, Primary Clarifier,
Aeration Tank, Secondary Clarifier, Sludge Drying Beds (SDBs) and Collection tank. Unit has
procured 2 nos of dual media filter and one micro filter for installation of tertiary treatment
system.
3. The Unit has upgraded the Aeration tank with installation of diffused aeration system under
Charter implementation programme.
Contd..2/-

The Unit's fresh water consumption is about 31 m 3/tone of production.


The treated effluent sample analysis from ETP showed TSS-104mg/I, BOD-74 mg/land COD 276mg/1; which indicates non-compliance against the effluent discharge standard as
prescribed under Charter of 75mg/I; 30 mg/I and 225mgA respectively. The MLSS in the
aeration tank was 740 mg/I indicating unstabilization of Activated Sludge Process and
unsatisfactory operation and maintenance of ETP.
Overflow of the effluent was observed at the effluent collection tank (before inlet of ETP) which
is being discharged into local drain. Also, old bypass pipeline was observed.
The finally treated effluent is partially recycled/reused in the process while remaining is
discharged into nallah which ultimately joins river Dhela. Analysis of wastewater samples taken
at upstream & d.Own stream of recipient drain showed BOD-2mg/I & 60 mg/I; COD - 5mg/I &
228mg/I and TSS - 41mg/i & 103mg/I; respectively, indicating possibility of discharge of
partially treated effluent.
8. Unsatisfactory progress with respect to implementation of the Charter has been observed
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 effluent is posing threat to water quality of river Dhela 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,

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.

the highly pollution industry; and
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
run.
ETP outlet effluent analysis showed pH- 7.90, BOD-10.0 mg/I (as against the norms of 30
mg/I), COD- 47.8 mg/I, SS-45.0 mg/I (as against the norms of 100 mg/I), Colour- 10 Hazen.
The water quality of the recipient Behta drain at 1 km D/S of the Unit showed pH-7.2, Color1000 Hazen SS-1187 mg/I, DO-Nil, COD- 2031 mg/I & BOD-719 mg/I which indicates typical
black liquor characteristics. Recipient River Sai Water Quality at 2 Km D/S confluence of
Bheta drain showed pH-7.61, Color-200 Hazen, DO-Nil, COD-295 mg/I and BOD- 91.6 mg/I.
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.
Contd...3/-

inlet. Analysis of the sample collected from the backwash outlet shows pH- 8.22, TSS 29 mg/I, COD 60 mg/I and BOD 05 mg/I, indicating the effluent was diluted.
Condensate water and effluent were collected in a common drain in the process section
and was bypassed to a nallha adjacent to the Unit. Samples collected from the bypass at
the exit of the process section shows pH- 5.03, TSS 143 mg/I, COD 1101 mg/I and
BOD 305 mg/I. The temperature of the effluent was much higher than the ambient
temperature.
The MLSS (870 mg/I) in the aeration tank was less.
The cooling tower overflow was discharged into the nallha. Analysis of the samples
collected at the discharge of cooling tower overflow shows pH 7.55, TSS 55 mg/I,
COD 412 mg/I and BOD 92 mg/I, indicating the effluent was mixed with condensate.
Along the nallha, adjacent to the Unit's compound wall, outlets of two bypass drains
were noticed. The analysis of the samples shows pH 6.64, TSS 62 mg/I, COD 346
mg/I and BOD 100 mg/I, indicating the effluent was diluted and bypassed to the

The nallha adjacent to the unit was flowing downstream as Kalla Nallha ((Ikara nallha)
that joins Ramganga about 1.5 km from Malakpur Ghat, which ultimately joins River
Ganga. Analysis of the samples collected from the Kalla nallha about 1 km downstream
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.
It is evident from the above observations that the Unit is not complying with the prescribed
norms and bypassing the effluent to the nallha that ultimately joins River Ganga.

WHEREAS, the Unit was inspected by a team of CPCB officials on December 11, 2012 for
compliance verification and made the following observations:
The Unit and its ETP were in operation. The Unit is an agro based paper plant producing
Writing & Printing grade Paper using Bagasse & wheat straw as raw materials. The
existing production capacity of the Unit is 135 TPD only.
Effluent Treatment Plant having 10500 m 3/day capacity comprises of Equalization tank,
Hill Screen, Primary Clarifier, Aeration Tank, Secondary Clarifier, sludge drying beds
(SDBs) and Belt filter press
The Unit has installed triton aerators and direct automated oxygen system in aeration
Tank to induce DO. Foaming was observed in Aeration Tank.
The Unit's fresh water consumption is estimated about 83 m 3/tone of production.
The treated effluent sample analysis from ETP showed TSS-326 mg/I, BOD-45 mg/I;
COD 328 mg/I and colour 500 colour unit 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 3610 mg/I.
The Unit was found discharging partially treated effluent into the drain passing near the
boundary wall of the Unit which ultimately joins river Dhela.
The Unit has installed environmental laboratory for sample analysis and also maintaining
logbook as per the charter implementation programme.
The Unit has installed conventional Chemical Recovery Plant for black liquor
management.
9. The Unit informed that it will install dual media fitters for tertiary treatment by June 2013
as against of March, 2013.
It is evident from the above observations that the Unit discharges partially treated
effluent with TSS BOD, COD levels higher than the prescribed effluent discharge
norms Into river Dhela, which meets river Ramganga, a tributary of river Ganga,
thereby leading to deterioration of the water quality of river Dhela and Ramganga;
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

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.

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.
The Unit has not done any work towards implementation of the Charter.
It is evident from the above observations that the Unit's ETP system is Inadequate
and the Unit does not operate ETP system regularly, owing to which discharge of
partially treated/untreated effluent Is posing threat to water quality of river and to the
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:
1.

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.

WHEREAS, the Unit was inspected by a team of officials from CPCB on January 11, 2013
to verify the compliance status and following observations were made:
The Unit was in operation, however, Aeration tank and Secondary clarifier of
Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) were not functional
The Unit has no valid consent under Water & Air Act.
The Unit's Effluent Treatment Plant is based on ASP comprising Equalization tank,
Hill screen, Primary Clarifier, Aeration Tank, Secondary Clarifier and SDBs.
The Unit was in the process of cleaning the excessive sludge accumulated in the
aeration tank. The generated effluent after primary treatment was being disposed
for irrigation in adjacent fields.
Sample analysis of the treated effluent from ETP shows BOD- 237 mg/I; COD- 604
mg/I; and TSS- 279 mg/I which indicate non-compliance against the prescribed
effluent discharge standard of 30 mg/I, 350 mg/I and 100 mg/I respectively.
The partially treated/ untreated effluent is being disposed for irrigation posing threat
to groundwater.
Contd...2/-

-2The Sludge drying beds were completely filled and have no space to accommodate
additional sludge.
The Unit has disposed sludge on land for drying near the ETP in an unscientific
manner.
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 poses threat to the groundwater quality.
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, notice is served herewith to show cause why the Unit shall not be closed
down till commissioning of modified/upgraded ETP system so as to comply with the
prescribed standards to the satisfaction of CPCB.
You are hereby given an opportunity to file your objections (if any) to the above
proposed directions within 15 days from the receipt this letter, failing which appropriate
action will be taken against the Unit, without giving any further notice, in accordance with
the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.

DIRECTION UNDER SECTION 5 OF THE ENVIRONMENT (PROTECTION) ACT, 1986


WHEREAS, the Central Government has notified standards for discharge of environmental
pollutants from various categories of industries under the Environment (Protection) Act,1986
and the rule framed there under; and
WHEREAS, the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Govt. of India ,vide notification
S.0.157(E) of 27.02.1996 has delegated powers vested under Section 5 of the Environment
(Protection) Act,1986 (29 of 1986) to the Chairman ,Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB),
to issue direction to any industry, Municipal Corporation, Municipal Council, Cantonment
Board to any local or other Authority for the violation of emission and effluent standards
notified under the Environment (Protection) Rules,1986 and other standards and norms; and
WHEREAS, M/s Genus Paper Products Ltd., Aghwanpur, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh,
(hereinafter referred as 'the Unit') is a pulp and paper industry producing Kraft paper using
waste paper as raw material; and

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.

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.

(hereinafter referred as 'the Unit) was inspected by the officials of Central Pollution Control
Board (CPCB) on June 26, 2013 and made the following observations:
The Unit has installed capacity of process fabrics of 7,35,000 meters per month and was
in operation during inspection.
The Unit has two number of bore wells equipped with water meters to meet fresh water
requirements and log book is also maintained.
ETP consists of bar screen, equalization pits, primary clarifier, aeration-1, aeration-2 and
secondary clarifier. Treated effluent is partly used for gardening and rest is discharged to
the Modinagar nalla through underground pipelines, which meets river East Kali after
traversing about 10 Km.
Effluent at the inlet of the ETP had pH-9.13, TSS-125 mg/I, COD-775 mg/1 and BOD215 mg/l. Samples at the secondary clarifier outlet had pH-8.13, TSS-63 mg/1, COD-108
mg/1 and BOD-17 mg/l. It was noticed that the operations of ETP was started after arrival
of the inspection team.

-2Sample collected from discharge line at the Nalla. It was coloured and had pH-8.04, TSS268 mg/1, COD-816 mg/1 and BOD-196 mg/l. It confirms the discharge of the raw
effluent to the Nalla.
Ground water near the Nalla is not drinkable. A sample was also collected from the
village hand pump, the water of which turned colored after 15 minutes of storage. It had
pH-7.48, TSS-09 mg/1, COD-48 mg/1 and BOD-06 mg/l.
The Unit has installed V-Notch at the inlet of the ETP to record the volume of effluent
generated; however no flow measuring device is installed at the outlet of the ETP to
record the volume of effluent discharged.
The Unit has quality laboratory, however no sampling and analysis of ETP samples were
observed during inspection.
The Unit has installed two 5 TPH and 8 TPH pet coke fired boiler attached with cyclone
dust collector as air pollution control device (APCD).
The Unit has obtained Consent under water and Air Acts valid upto 31.12.2014 and
authorization under hazardous waste valid upto 31.12.2013.
It is evident from above observations that the Unit was found discharging untreated
effluent in the Nalla and ETP was not in operation; which has all potential to contaminate
the ground water and pose serious threat to the environment.

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.

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.

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

towards strengthening the system for monitoring of health of pipelines,


impact on environment ecology etc.
NOW, THEREFORE, in exercise of powers vested under Section 5 of the
Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, and on the basis of above
examination and review, the following directions are issued:
The unit shall ensure that no oil is pumped in the BUT line in use within the Plant
premises with immediate effect. The portion of the old BUT line within the plant
premises (discarded from Bombay High to the Plant boundary) needs
replacement considering its age. The pipeline should not be used till the health of
the pipeline is checked and preventive action taken for its rehabilitation.
The unit shall put in place a contingency plan to control oil spillages and
atmospheric releases in case of any mis-happenings as that occurred on October
06, 2013 and February 12, 2013.
Contd..5..

: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
