4.1 MONITORING & ISSUE OF CONSENT TO THE INDUSTRIES

As per the provisions of section 25(a) of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and section 21(1) of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, no person shall without the previous consent of the State Board, establish or operate any industrial plant which is likely to discharge sewage or trade effluent into a stream or well or sewer or onland and also in an air pollution control area of entire State of Tamilnadu. Hence Industries have to obtain consent of the Board under the above said Acts. The consent is issued to the industries in two stages.  1st stage, „Consent to Establish‟ (CTE) is issued depending upon the suitability of the site before the industry takes up the construction activity.

 2nd stage, „Consent to Operate‟ (CTO) is issued, after construction of the unit and before commissioning the industrial unit, only after the compliance of conditions issued in Consent to Establish.

Thereafter „Consent to Operate‟ regularly renewed by the unit and at any point of time the unit should have valid consent of the Board. To consider Consent, the field officers of the Board inspect the industries under their jurisdiction periodically to assess the adequacy of pollution control measures provided by the industries to treat sewage, trade effluent and emissions and to monitor their performance. They also investigate complaints related to environmental pollution received from the public, organizations and the Government. The industries are instructed to carry out necessary corrective measures if required. For effective monitoring, industries are categorized as Red, Orange, Green and White according to their pollution potential. The industries have also been classified in scale of size with Gross Fixed Assets(GFA) more than Rs. 10 crores as Large, more than Rs. 5 crores and upto Rs. 10 crores as Medium and upto Rs. 5 crore as Small scale. Similarly, inspection is also carried out by the Engineers for the large scale red category units once in three months. The medium scale red category units are once in four months and the small scale red category units once in a year. Similarly the large and medium scale orange category units once in six months and the small scale orange category units once in two years. The less polluting green category units once in two years. Sewage/Trade effluent samples are collected once in a month in red-large industries, once in three months in red-

16 medium industries, once in four months in orange-large industries, once in six months in red-small, orange-medium and orange-small industries. The 17 category highly polluting industries are inspected once in a month and the samples are also collected once in a month. During the year 2017-18, the Board has issued 828 CTE (Consent to Establish) orders and 2726 CTO (Consent to Operate) orders under both the Acts. The details about on issue of consent is given below:

Period Consent to Establish Consent to Operate Water Act Air Act Water Act Air Act Cumulative (Upto 20690 20619 42854 39942 31.3.2017) During the Year 2017- 828 828 2726 2726 2018 Total 21518 21447 45580 42668 Note: Issue of CTE to the industries was started in year 1995

4.1.1 Online Consent Management and Monitoring System (OCMMS) TNPCB has provided the facility of Online Consent Management and Monitoring System (OCMMS) from 19.01.2015. OCMMS is a web based generic application software for automating the workflow associated with consent management and monitoring which is one of the basic functions of the Board. This system allows the industries for online submission of application for Consent to Establish / Consent to Operate / Renewal of Consent, uploading of documents, online payment of consent fees, online submission of clarification and to knowing the status of application. This system allows to carry out the consent management processes such as scrutiny, raise inspection, raise clarification, submit inspection report, prepare consent order and forward consent order to the industries through online. It helps for online monitoring of the processing of application. From 20.1.2015 onwards, the applications are accepted only through OCMMS. In order to facilitate the industries to apply online through OCMMS, Care Centre has been established in all the 38 district offices. Web portal for online consent application is tnocmms.nic.in

4.1.2 Auto Renewal of Consent

TNPCB introduced a concept of „Auto Renewal‟ of Consent to the Red-Small and all Orange and Green category Industries. Accordingly consent is renewed to

17 the units without prior inspection for which the unit has to furnish self certification. This ensures grant of renewal consent within 7 days on receipt of application.

4.2 COMMON EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANTS

Taking into consideration, the key role played by MSME units and the constraints in complying with pollution control norms individually by these units, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change initiated an innovative technical and financial support scheme to ensure their growth in an environmentally compatible manner. The scheme promotes common facilities for treatment of effluents from MSME units located in clusters through financial assistance. TNPCB plays a supportive role towards the establishment of Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) for clusters of small-scale industries in various parts of the State. The Board assists in the technical scrutiny of the proposal plans for the CETPs.

Pattern of Financial Assistance Central Assistance (Subsidy) 50% of the total project cost State Assistance (Subsidy) 25% of the total project cost Project Proponent share 25% of the total project cost (Out of the proponent‟s share, atleast 40% of contribution from the proponent and balance 60% raised through loan from Banks/Financial Institutions) CETP Schemes in the State In Tamil Nadu, CETPs schemes are formulated in the following sectors:

Tanneries 13 Schemes Textile Bleaching & Dyeing Units 30 Schemes

4.2.1 Tanneries CETP Among 13 CETP schemes established for tanneries, 11 CETPs are in operation with Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system.

Total 142 3400 4.2.2 Textile Bleaching and Dyeing Industries CETPs For the benefit of small scale Textile bleaching and dyeing units, 30 CETPs were established and commissioned in between the year 1996-2000, with primary and secondary treatment system. Since the CETPs were unable to bring the TDS level to 2100 mg/L, they were directed to go for Zero Liquid Discharge. Accordingly, out of 30 CETPs, 19 CETPs (18 CETPs in Tiruppur, 1 CETP in Perundurai) have

19 implemented tertiary treatment with RO plant, Multiple Effect Evaporator and Agitated Thin Film Dryer to meet Zero Liquid Discharge standard. One CETP at Ayyampet-Muthyalpet in Kancheepuram district has now proposed to provide ZLD plant for which they are in the process of getting grant from the Central Government. The remaining 10 CETPs (8 CETPs in Karur and 2 CETPs in Tiruppur) were under closure in view of orders of Hon‟ble High Court due to their inability to achieve ZLD standard.

The Director of Handlooms and Textiles, has sanctioned Rs.203.29 crores as interest free loan to the 18 CETPs in Tiruppur and so far Rs. 164.62 Crores was released in order to modernize / improve the ZLD system.

CHAPTER – 6 AIR, WATER, NOISE QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAMMES

6.1 AIR QUALITY MONITORING

With the increased industrial and commercial activities in the vicinity of major cities, the quality of the ambient air is being affected by emissions from the industries and from the ever increasing vehicular population. As per the provision of Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, the entire state of Tamil Nadu has been declared as an air pollution control area.

6.1.1 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring in Chennai

Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board is operating eight ambient air quality monitoring stations in Chennai under National Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP) funded by Central Pollution Control Board.

The eight ambient air quality monitoring stations in Chennai are:-

S.No. Station location Land use zone / area 1 Adyar Residential area 2 Anna Nagar Residential area 3 Commerical area (Trafic intersection) 4 Industrial area 5 Manali Industrial area 6 Nungambakkam Commerical area (Trafic intersection) 7 Thiruvottiyur Industrial area 8 T.Nagar Commerical area (Trafic intersection)

All the above stations are functioning on 24 hours basis, twice a week. The samples collected from NAMP stations are analysed for the Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM) (RSPM is particulate matter less than 10 microns) and gaseous pollutants such as Sulphur di oxide (SO2) and Nitrogen di Oxides (NO2). The National Ambient Air Quality Standards prescribed is given below:

Area Annual average concentration of pollutants in µg/m3

SO2 NO2 RSPM Industrial, Residential, Rural & other 50 40 60 areas

47

The ambient air quality data collected from the above mentioned air quality monitoring stations (NAMP) indicates that the parameters such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide are found to be well within the limits in Chennai including the industrial area. The average values of respirable suspended particulates levels exceeded the standards in Chennai at Kilpauk, T.Nagar, Nungambakkam and Anna Nagar monitoring stations (NAMP).

The exceedance of RSPM levels at few stations in Chennai city are mainly due to the Metro Rail work, dust contributed by pipe line, telephone/electrical cable laying activities on the road and also due to the re-suspension of traffic dust generated from automobile emissions and heavy vehicular traffic and pedestrian movement. The average values of pollutants recorded at the above monitoring stations under NAMP programme during the period 2017-2018 are in Annexure - 4. TNPCB displays the daily monitoring data through electronic display board at the Head Office, Guindy to create awareness to the general public.

6.1.2 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring in Other Cities and Major Towns in Tamil Nadu

Under NAMP, TNPCB monitors the ambient air quality in other cities and major towns at 20 locations in Tamil Nadu. The locaction of stations is given below.

S.No. Station location Land use zone Thoothukudi (Since 1988) 1 Raja Agencies Industrial zone 2 SIPCOT Industrial area 3 A.V.M. Building Mixed zone Coimbatore (Since 1991) 4 District Collector‟s Office Mixed zone 5 Ponniyarajapuram Residential zone 6 SIDCO Building Industrsil zone Salem (Since 1996) 7 Sowdeswari College Mixed zone Madurai (Since 1996) 8 Highways Project Building Residential zone 9 M/s.Susee Cars and trucks Co., Ltd. Industrial zone 10 Madurai Corporation Office (SZ) Mixed zone Trichy (Since 2012) 11 Gandhi Market Commercial zone 12 Main Guard Gate Traffic intersection

48

13 Bishop Heber College Mixed zone 14 Golden rock Residential zone 15 Central bus stand Traffic intersection Cuddalore (Since 2013) 16 Echankadu Village Residential zone 17 DEE Office Commercial zone 18 SIPCOT Industrial zone Mettur (Since 2013) 19 Raman Nagar Residential zone 20 SIDCO Industrial zone All the above monitoring stations under NAMP, functions on a 24 hour basis, twice a week. The samples collected from NAMP stations are analysed for the RSPM and gaseous pollutants such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. The ambient air quality data recorded during 2017-2018 indicates that the parameters sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are found to be well within the standards at Thoothukudi, Madurai, Coimbatore, Salem, Trichy, Cuddalore and Mettur.

The annual average values of PM10 were found to be exceeds the standards at all monitoring stations in Thoothukudi, at M/s. Susee Cars and Highways Project buildings in Madurai, Gandhi Market, Main Guard Gate and Central bus stand in

Trichy. The exceedance of PM10 at the above monitoring stations is due to the increase in number of vehicles and the surface dust generated by vehicular movement but also due to the digging and laying activities for pipe lines, electrical and telephone cables and due to heavy commercial and industrial activities. The annual average values of pollutants recorded at the above monitoring stations during the period 2017-2018 is tabulated in Annexure - 4.

6.2 CONTINUOUS AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING STATIONS

In order to monitor the ambient air quality on continuous basis, the Board installed six Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (CAAQM) stations. Four stations are installed at Chennai (viz) Koyambedu, Royapuram, Perungudi (Sai Nagar), , one station at SIPCOT Gummidipoondi and one station at SIPCOT Thoothukudi. The CAAQM stations at Royapuram, Perungudi (Sai Nagar),

Kodungaiyur and SIPCOT Thoothukudi monitors PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, NH3, O3, CO and BTX, whereas the CAAQM stations at Koyambedu and SIPCOT

Gummidipoondi monitors PM10, PM2.5, SO2, and NO2 on continuous basis.

49

In addition to the above, the TNPCB in collaboration with CPCB is operating one CAAQMS at Manali and one station at Coimbatore on 50:50 cost sharing basis under the programme of CAAQMS – Network in Critically Polluted Areas. The Board has also established one CAAQMS at Perundurai SIPCOT. The online data recorded in CAAQM Stations during the year 2017 is given in Annexure - 5.

CHAPTER – 11

OTHER IMPORTANT MATTERS DEALT WITH BY THE BOARD

11.1 IMPORTANT ISSUES

11.1.1 M/s. Tamilnadu Chromates And Chemicals Limited (TCCL), Ranipet M/s. Tamilnadu Chromates and Chemicals Limited (TCCL) is a defunct company which functioned at No.25, SIPCOT Industrial complex, Ranipet, Walajah Taluk, Vellore District. The unit was commissioned during the year 1976. Till the year 1988, the unit functioned as a joint sector company. Thereafter the company was under various private management and finally it stopped its manufacturing activity in 1995. Around 2.2 lakh tons of chrome bearing sludge was generated and dumped at the back yard of the unit on open land on an area of about 2 hectares and 3 to 5 meters height. This leads to leachate generation and causes severe soil, surface water and ground water pollution problem in the Ranipet area.

The TNPCB took steps to assess the contamination and for determining the cost of remediation. The matter was brought to the notice of the Government for obtaining funds for clean up and remediation. Under the National Clean Energy Fund (NCEF) project MoEF&CC, GOI is providing 40 % of the Project Cost and 60 % is to be borne by State Government. Project Report has been prepared by CPCB at cost of Rs 2.97 Crores and it is under finalization. Tentative Project Cost is Rs 206 Crores. State Government has approved the release of Rs 1.782 Crores so that DPR could be obtained from CPCB. The State Government has communicated it‟s willingness to bear 30 % of the project cost for remediation. Remaining 30 % of the project cost is to be collected from the polluters who are the present and erstwhile Directors of the unit.

11.1.2 M/s Hindustan Lever Limited (Thermometer Factory), Kodaikanal, Dindigul District

A clinical glass thermometer (containing mercury) factory was established by M/s. Ponds India Limited at Kodaikanal in 1983 and commenced production in January 1984. In March 2001, complaints were received about the improper disposal of mercury contaminated glass scrap to a scrap dealer at Munjilkal in Kodaikanal. In view of the complaint, TNPCB issued closure order to unit in March 2001.

69

Based on directions issued by the Board, the scrap from the scrap yard, effluent treatment plant sludge and unused mercury (totally 290.5 Tonnes as Phase I activity) were exported to the recycler M/s Bethlehem Apparatus Company at Pennsylvania, USA. This was done during March to May 2003. There after soil remediation work was taken up at site. However the full scale soil remediation work could not be carried out as planned due to cases filed by the NGO‟s in the Hon‟ble High Court & The Hon‟ble National Green Tribunal challenging the of Site Specific Target Level of 20 mg/kg. The MOEF&CC, GOI vide OM dated 28.12.2015 has informed the Board adhere to Site Specific Target Level (SSTL), 20 mg/kg) which has all scientific basis for the remediation procedure .

Based on recommendations made by Scientific Expert Committee, trial runs for soil remediation were conducted between 4.10.2017 to 18.11.2017. The purpose of the trial is to test the efficacy of the pilot plant installed at the site and test the treatability of the contaminated soil at the site. Based on recommendation of the Scientific Expert Committee, the unit has been permitted vide letter No T2/ TNPCB/ F.36448 /27568 /DGL/ 2018 dated 04.06.2018 to commence the soil remediation work by installing and commissioning the new improved version of soil washing plant and mercury vacuum retort for the soil remediation work ,soil remediation associated civil works.

11.1.3 Environmental Quality Study in Critically Polluted Areas CEPI Index

Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF & CC) had identified 43 industrial clusters in the country as Critically Polluted Areas (CPA) based on Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI). In Tamil Nadu, there are four industrial clusters namely 1) Vellore – Ranipet,SIPCOT Industrial Complex 2) Cuddalore - SIPCOT Industrial Complex, phase I & II 3) Manali-Manali Industrial area and 4) Coimbatore - SIDCO- industrial cluster which are identified as Critically Polluted Areas (CPA) based on the CEPI score ( CEPI>70). As per moratorium, establishing new industries and expansion of existing industries in the CPA is not permitted. CPCB vide letter CPCB/IPC-VII/PIA/CEPI/2017 dated: 16.10.2017 has identified 4 more Polluted Industrial Areas (PIA) for the year 2017- 2018, which are

1. Mettur 2. Erode

70

3. Tuticorn - SIPCOT Industrial Area 4. Tirupur

The Theme six of the Tamil Nadu Vision 2023 (Volume I) targets that Tamil Nadu will be known as the innovation hub and knowledge capital of India, on the strength of world class institutions in various fields and the best human talent. The key enablers that facilitate innovation and knowledge creation are:  Availability of a dynamic information architecture  Skilled workforce  Knowledge Ecosystem comprising of research organizations, Universities, think tanks and business organizations that focus on converting information into knowledge and create new knowledge. The Tamil Nadu Vision 2023 envisages the establishment of Centers of Excellence (CoEs) in the following areas to foster innovation and knowledge creation: 1. Automotive technologies 2. Non –Communicable diseases 3. Agricultural practices 4. Water resources management 5. Nano technology 6. Solar and clean energy technologies 7. Biotechnology 8. Basic Sciences 9. Social Sciences 10. Construction Engineering 11. Aerospace

Under this initiative, the Government will take the lead in establishing Centre of Excellence for each of the sectors identified by upgrading existing centers of research and higher learning (where such a centre exists) and by establishing new centres. The CoEs would impart the leading – edge skills required for the sector concerned to grow and remain competitive. In addition to imparting specialized skills,

79 the CoEs would focus on Research and Development (R & D), faculty development initiatives for other institutions in the State and Curriculum network with other CoEs to carry out work in interdisciplinary area. It is also envisaged that the CoEs will be developed on a Public – Private – Partnership (PPP) model, with funding and participation by the industries concerned.

Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Board took an initiative in coordinating with the academicians and the stakeholders and Government in Finance (Infrastructure) Department has issued G.O. Ms No. 79 dated 30.3.2017 for Establishment of Centre for Urbanization, Buildings and Environment (CUBE) at Indian Institute of Technology-Madras, Chennai with funding support from the implementing agencies.
