INTRODUCTION 1.1 Area Details including brief history (background information): The Asansol-Burnpur area is located in the land area between the river Ajoy on northern side and river Damodar on the southern side. The area is located within the Raniganj-Asansol coal mine belt. Topography of this area is generally flat and sloping from north to south. Number of canals passing through the area ultimately led to the river Damodar, acting as drainage canals of the area. Municipal area is 127.24 sq.km. 1.2 Location: Asansol is located at 23.03 degrees 40 minutes 25 second N & 86 degrees 56 minutes 45 second East. It has an average elevation of 110-130 metres MSL. 1.3 Digitized Map with Demarcation of Geographical Boundaries and Impact Zones: Given in Fig. 1 & 2. Fig. -1 : Geographical location of Asansol-Burnpur Area [CEPI, West Bengal] Page 68 Fig. 2: Boundary (in Red line) of critically polluted area in Asansol-Burnpur demarcated by CPCB 1.4. CEPI Score (Air, Water, Land and Total): 58.38, 56.25, 50.50 and 70.20 (CPCB). 1.5. Total Population and sensitive receptors (hospitals, educational institutions, courts, etc.) 3,80,563 residing in the area comprising of geographical area of the cluster and its impact zone 98,0000 (minimum 2km): The total population of the area under question is around 4,78,563 (as per 2001 census) The sensitive receptors include one sub-divisional hospital, 38 nos. nursing homes, 56 nos. educational institutions, one sub-divisional court are located within Asansol- Burnpur Municipal region. 1.6 Eco-geological features Impact Zones [the area comprising of geographical area of the cluster and its impact zone (minimum 2 km)] 1.6.1 Major river Water Bodies (Rivers, Lakes, Ponds etc): The major rivers are Damodar and Barakar. Other than these major rivers there are a number of nullahas of which the important are Nunia, Dihika, Damra and Gharui. 1.6.2 Ecological Parks, Sanctuaries, flora and fauna or any eco -sensitive zones: Nehru Park (formerly Lahmeyer Park) was built utilising the natural contour of the terrain on the banks of the Damodar. The airstrip at Burnpur can handle small aircraft. 1.6.3 Buildings or Monuments of Historical / archaeological / religious importance: NA. 1.7 Industry Classification and distribution (no. of industries per 10 sq. km. area or fraction) 1.7.1 Highly Polluting Industries (17 Categories)- 1 no.(List enclosed) 1.7.2 Red Category Industries (54 Categories)- 23 nos.

WATER ENVIRONMENT 2.1 Present status of water environment supported with minimum one year analytical data:- 2.1.1 Water bodies / effluent receiving drains in the area important for water quality monitoring: The major rivers are Damodar and Barakar. Other than these major rivers there are a number of nallahas of which the important are Nunia, Dihika, Damra and Gharai. The treated effluents discharged by the industries are directly or indirectly fall into main stream. The West Bengal Pollution Control Board conducts monitoring of the water quality on a regular basis. 2.1.2 Present levels of pollutants in water bodies / effluent receiving drains / ground water (routine parameters, special parameters and water toxics relevant to the area in three categories – known carcinogens, probable carcinogens and other toxics): Given in Table 1 , 2 & 3.
