General That this Hon‟ble Tribunal in matter O. A. No. 673 of 2018 is seized of the issues, amongst others, regarding remedial action to be taken for abatement of pollution in the polluted river stretches identified by the CPCB based on data collected from the SPCBs/ PCCs and preparation of “Action Plans” and their implementation by the concerned State Governments and the UTs. The Hon‟ble Tribunal, vide its order dated 21.09.2020 (uploaded on 26.09.2020) has passed certain further directions to be complied with by all concerned. II. Directions of National Green Tribunal vide order dated 21.09.2020 1. All the States/UTs may address gaps in generation and treatment of sewage/ effluents by ensuring setting up of requisite number of functional ETPs, CETPs and STPs. 2. The timeline for commissioning of all STPs fixed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, i.e., 31.03.2018, has long passed. The Hon’ble Supreme Court directed that the State PCBs must initiate prosecution of the erring Secretaries to the State Governments, which has also not happened. This Tribunal was directed to monitor compliance and in the course thereof, we direct that compensation may be recovered in the manner already directed in earlier orders, which may be deposited with the CPCB for restoration of 4 the environment. 3. The unutilized capacity of the existing STPs may be utilized expeditiously. 4. The States/ UTs may ensure that the CETPs, ETPs and STPs meet the laid down norms and remedial action be taken wherever norms are not met. 5. It must be ensured that no untreated sewage/ effluent is discharged into any water body. Prompt remedial action may be taken by the State PCBs/ PCCs against non-compliant ETPs/ CETPs by closing down or restricting the effluents generating activity, recovering compensation and taking other coercive measures following due process of law. 6. Directions outlined in Paras 24-26 of the NGT order dated 21.09.2020 may be implemented by the States/ UTs, and their compliance monitored by the Chief Secretaries at the State level, and the CMC at the National level. Directions outlined in Para 26 of the NGT order dated 21.09.2020 are as follows: i. Setting up of STPs, Interception and Division (I&D) of drains and preventing untreated sewage and effluents, ii. Use of treated water, iii. Use of sludge manure, iv. Status of septage management, v. Compliance in relation to industries, vi. Installation of STPs/ treatment facilities in Hotels/ Ashrams and Dharmshalas, vii. Water quality monitoring of river Ganga and its tributaries, viii.

Preparation of maps and zoning of flood plains, xii. Mining activity under supervision of the concerned authorities, xiii. Action against identified polluters, law violators and officers responsible for failure for vigorous monitoring, 7. Wherever action plans have not yet been finalized in respect of polluted river stretches or polluted coastal stretches, the same may be completed within one month from today. The execution of action plans may be overseen in the manner already directed in OA 673/2018 by River Rejuvenation Committees (RCCs). In the coastal areas, the said Committees may be known as „River/ Coastal Rejuvenation Committees‟. The action plans must have provision for budgetary support in the manner laid down by the Hon‟ble Supreme Court or otherwise this aspect may also be monitored by the CMC. 8. Directions outlined in Para 29 of the NGT order dated 21.09.2020 may be implemented by the concerned coastal States/ UTs, and their compliance monitored by the Chief Secretaries at the State level, and the CMC at the National level.

NMCG had organized a webinar on „Municipal Solid Waste Management’ on 06.11.2020, for informing the State Governments/ UT Administrations on different successful approaches and models that can be adopted for management of municipal solid waste. In the webinar, presentations were made by MoEF&CC with regard to the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 and MoHUA on the status of various initiatives being undertaken in India and the achievements under Swachh Bharat Mission. States of Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Goa shared their experiences with regard to some of the successful approaches being adopted by them. In Chhattisgarh, almost all of the solid waste generated in the State is being collected, segregated, treated and re-used by adopting practical, scientific, sustainable model for solid waste management – Mission Clean City (Recycle and Reuse Model). Standard Operating Procedure has been developed for the State which is followed across 166 ULBs in decentralized manner. The State aimed at achieving cost effective solution, a livelihood opportunity for women (9000+ women trained & engaged), involve 8 community participation, incentivizing for promotion, adopting innovative methods such as Garbage Café, Bartan Bank, Balli Vaishya etc and converting waste to wealth. Through this State has achieved the rank of India‟s first Zero Landfill State. Decentralized approach similar to Chhattisgarh has been adopted by Odisha, wherein Women/ Transgender SHGs facilitate collection of segregated waste from the households and the revenue from sale of recyclables distributed to sanitation workers as incentives. Highlights of decentralized model taken up by Odisha are 100% source segregation, decentralized processing, community partnership, circular economy and zero-landfilling. For setting up Integrated SWMF in Goa, a High Level Task Force was constituted under the Chairmanship of Chief Minister Goa, DST&WM was appointed as Nodal and a SWM Cell was created, Goa State Infrastructure Department Corporation was appointed as Executing Agency and a Goa Waste Management Corporation was constituted. State is working towards establishment of SWMF at 3 location, E-waste Management Facility, CBMWTF, plastic waste to fuel plant, C&D Waste Treatment Facility and expansion of already existing SWF. Further, two sanitary pad incinerators of 1.4 TPD each as pilot project has been installed at two locations. State adopted few policy such as remediation of existing waste dump, utilization of existing dumpsite for construction of solid waste management facility, State to provide approach road, water and power and the plants to be built on 9 Design, Finance, Build, Operate and Transfer (DFBOT) basis.
