Until marine of CETP and not completed Marine Discharge pipeline line is completed, the CETP marine discharge pipeline. work is in progress and will shall not collect the HTDS The total marine disposal be completed within 30 days. and LTDS effluents from pipe line is of length 3.5 member industries. KM (off shore) and 2.3 KM (on shore). APIIC has completed off shore line of 3.5 KM and only 0.829 KM of on shore length is completed. The APIIC has to complete the balance on shore length 1.471 KM 2. The facility not yet Transportation of --- provided pipelines from the wastewater to CETP is by member units to the CETP. tankers fitted with GPS which can be monitored by APPCB at Regional Office and at AETL. 3. The facility has not The process of procuring the --- installed Continuous on-line instrumentation for online effluent monitoring system monitoring system is under before discharging into the progress and the system will sea through the marine be installed at outlet of outfall. It should be Guard Ponds. connected to the website of APPCB and CPCB as per the directions of CPCB. 4. The facility has not Bag Filter is already Insulation of bag filter at installed bag filter to 14 installed. Coal Yard is boiler is yet to be done. TPH coal fired boiler; coal completed. Construction of coal storage shed; and flow storage shed is at plinth meters at inlet & outlet of level. Columns, flooring CETP. and roof are not yet done. Installation of flow meters at inlet & outlet of CETP are not yet completed.

5. The facility has not The total sludge / salt The generation of salt quantified and submitted generation is about 90 depend on the TDS value of Hazardous waste MT/day and the same will be receiving effluent + bottom generation details and its disposed to TSDF (Ramky). sludge in the tanks. disposal. 6. The facility provided an The facility is designed for --- MEE of 22.5 KL/hr capacity 1125 KLD HTDS wastewater to treat HTDS effluent. processing and related Thus the facility can handle storage tanks were only 450 KLD of HTDS constructed. In the first effluent based on the phase MEE is installed for 450 operation of 20 hr/day. But KLD. The remaining 675 KLD the facility applied CFO for will be installed in 2nd 1125 KLD of HTDS effluents phase. Whereas the facility is designed for 1.5 MLD for LTDS wastewater processing and is completed.

7. The facility provided ETP The facility is designed for At present AETL has to treat 375 KLD of LTDS 1.5 MLD out of which HTDS installed 450 KLD MEE and effluents. If 450 KLD HTDS Condensate is 1.125 MLD and 1500 KLD biological ETP. In effluent is given as feed to LTDS from industries is 0.375 future under phase –I AETL the MEE, almost equal MLD. LTDS wastewater will expand MEE capacity quantity of condensate will treatment for 1.5 MLD is to 1125 KLD from the be generated. Accordingly, completed present 450 KLD. On condensate generation will completion of MEE 1125 be 450 KLD. But the facility KLD capacity, the has provided biological ETP condensate generation is of only 375 KLD. Thus the approximately 1125 KLD CETP could not accept any and the low TDS effluents LTDS effluent from the from industries of 375 KLD member units. will be treated in biological ETP of 1500 KLD capacity. At present the condensate will be approximately 450 KLD. The dimensions of each unit of biological ETP is attached as annexure. 8. The facility not submitted Design parameters are as --- the design parameters of follows. the CETP so as to stipulate HTDS the inlet standards. The pH 5.5 - 9.0 developer of APSEZ shall TSS < 600 stipulate the allowable TDiS > 12,000 maximum quantity of waste Temperature <45˚ water by the member ˚C units. But it was not done Oil & Grease < 50 by the LTDS pH 5.5 - 9.0 TSS < 400 TDiS > 12,000 Temperature <45˚ ˚C Oil & Grease < 20 COD < 5000 Ammonical < 50 Nitrogen as N

9. The facility not yet We shall provide the facility. --- provided bio-assay test facility. 10. The facility not provided We have provided The AETL has constructed primary treatment units collection sump, screen (such as bar screen, grit chamber, equalization trap, oil & grease trap, tank, flash mixer, clari- equalization tank, flash floculator, aeration tank, mixing tank, sludge secondary clarifier, guard dewatering system), pond for treatment of low stripper and spray drier for TDS effluents and MEE of treatment of HTDS 22.5 cu.m/hr consisting of effluent. The facility 5 calandrias followed by provided only MEE. ATFD. 11. The CETP is located in an Green belt development is area of 11.36 Ac. The under progress. facility shall develop greenery in an area of 3.75 Ac to achieve 33% greenery. But they have developed greenery in an area of 1.5 Ac only.

The issue is placed before the CFO committee for review and recommendations.
