  1. An Overview On Categories of industries, Siting Policy, Clustering and common pollution control facilities Presented by : Debashis Sarkar, Sr. Env. Engineer West Bengal Pollution Control Board 'Paribesh Bhaban', Bidhan Nagar, Kolkata -700098 www.wbpcb.gov.in • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  2. Present scenario in West Bengal Depending upon the pollution potential,WBPCB classified the industrial units into three different categories: • “ RED” category: i) Special Red& ii) Ordinary Red • “ ORANGE” category • “ GREEN” category • A Few activities with no pollution potential are classified as “ Exempted “ Category. http://emis.wbpcb.gov.in/emis/category.do • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  3. WBPCB constituted a Committee consisting of officials from Directorate of Micro & Small Scale Enterprise and WBPCB for the categorization of new industries, other than those in the existing list. • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  4. Present Status of Industries in West Bengal Health Care Establishment 5594 Nos. • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  5. 17 Category Industry MoEF notified 17 Categories of Grossly Polluting Industries Types of activities like: • Aluminium Smelter Zinc Smelter • Chlor Alkali Copper Smelter • Integrated Iron Industry Dyes and Intermediates • Distillaries Fertilizers • Cement Plant Petrochemicals • Pulp and Paper Thermal Power Plant • Oil Refineries • Sugar • Basic Bulk Drugs • Pesticides • Tanneries

  6. NRCD Industries MoEF categorized major water polluting industries under NRCP. Criteria for selection of NRCD industries : • Industries discharging effluents into rivers and lakes directly or indirectly And • Having BOD load of 100 Kg / Day before treatment And / Or • Discharging toxicants with discharge of 2 KLD or more

  7. Category list of CPCB • CPCB formed a Working Group for preparation of an uniform list of categories of industries on the basis of the outcome of the 56th Conference of Chairmen’s and Member Secretaries of SPCBs / PCCs. • Working Group submitted Final Report to CPCB recommending list of Red, Orange and Green Category of Industries. • No. of activities under the Red Category : 85 • No. of activities under the Orange Category : 73 • No. of activities under the Green Category : 86

  8. Direction of CPCB • The industries which do not fall in any of the above mentioned three categories, decision with regard to their categorisation will be taken by a committee constituted by respective SPCBs/ PCCs. • In case of reduction of pollution load due to adoption of cleaner technology or change in production process by any industry decision on re-categorisation of such activity will be taken by a committee constituted by respective SPCBs/ PCCs. • Industrial siting policy for setting up of industrial may be decided by the representative SPCBs in consultation with the concerned State Governments. • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  9. Categorization of Projects and Activities under EIA Notification • As per the EIA Notification 2006 few projects and activities requires prior EC from the competent authority for new, expansion or modernization projects. • Those activities are broadly categorised under two categories – Cat. A and Cat. B, based on their potential environmental impacts.

  10. Environmental Regulation for Industrial Estates / Clusters • Industrial Estates / Parks / Complexes / Areas, EPZs, SEZs, Biotech Parks, Leather Complexes – Requires EC for area > 500ha, area < 500ha if the estate housing any A or B category unit as per EIA notification. • Common hazardous TSDF, CETPs, Common MSW management facilities require prior EC from the competent authority. • If any IE / Parks etc. with homogeneous type of industries or IE with predefined set of activities obtained prior EC, individual industries will not be required to take prior EC.

  11. Industrial Siting policy in West Bengal: Industrial development has become a major source of Environmental Pollution. Industrial activities without proper precautionary measures for environmental protection are known to cause pollution and associated problems. The WBPCB ensures that compliance to environmental standards is attained through negotiated agreements and technical guidance. For combating industrial pollution in West Bengal, Board has formulated Industrial Siting Policy in Dec,1997 which has been amended time to time looking at the trend of environment scenario in the State. • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  12. Salient Feature of Industrial Siting policy Industries under “RED” category can not be permitted in Municipal Areas falling under KMA.‏ Also those Industries are not permitted to set up within municipal areas of Burdwan district except Jamuria Industrial Area. Industries under “ORANGE” category can be permitted in Municipal area except KMC & HMC areas or within industrial estates in case of KMC and HMC area with adequate pollution control measures subject to the condition that the site clearance should be obtained from municipal authorities. • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  13. Salient Feature of Industrial Siting policy • However, for few Red Category Industries, such as Incineration Plants, Hazardous Waste / Bio Medical Waste Disposal Facilities, Power Plants, Ship Breaking activity, Health Care Establishments, Isolated storage of Hazardous Chemicals, consideration for siting in KMA will be location specific and will be decided by the Board. • For diversification / modernization / modification / expansion of the existing Red and Orange Category Units within KMA will be considered on a case to case basis. This will be done considering the location of the industries, type of activity and its Environmental Impact as also Environmental Pollution Management Proposal for such modified activity. • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  14. Contd… • For few Orange Category Industries, such as Automobile servicing, repairing, Engineering and Fabrication units, Hotels and Restaurants, Housing Complexes with total built up area more than 20,000sq.mt. etc. consideration for siting in KMC and HMC area will be location specific and will be decided by the Board. • Industries mentioned in the list of Green Category can be permitted in any area in the state with adequate pollution control measures subject to site clearance by the local body. • Exempted category – need not apply for CFE and CFO

  15. Salient Feature of Industrial Siting policy • 60 categories of water intensive industries (such as Distillery, Thermal Power Plants, Chemical and Petrochemical, dyeing of fabrics, yarns etc.) are not permitted within 10 KM radius of Calcutta Leather Complex at Bantala. • List of Police stations and JL Nos. within 10Km radius of Kolkata Leather Complex : • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  16. Contd… Only integrated sponge iron units with downward integration for ingot manufacturing, and/or concast, rolling mill with appropriate pollution control technology has been considered for issuance of Consent to Establish. Such project should adopt AFBC technology for utilization of coal char. Restriction on establishment of Hotels, resorts within a radius of 1 KM of Reserve Forest and Wild Life Sanctuaries. Hotel and Restaurants within a radius of 3 KM of Victoria Memorial hall should use LPG for their cooking purpose. Use of cleaner fuel was made mandatory for small boilers in KMC and Ceramics kilns in KMA. • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  17. Consent Administration • As per the provisions of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act and Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act any industry which is likely to discharge sewage or trade effluent, emission into the environment / atmosphere will have to obtain consent from the State Board. • WBPCB issues two types of consents: • CONSENT TO ESTABLISH- All the industries and activities requiring consent must obtain consent to establish before actual commencement of work for establishing the industry / activity. • CONSENT TO OPERATE- This consent, which is valid for a certain duration of time needs to be taken before actual commencement of production. The consent to operate is renewed after certain period. • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  18. Contd… WBPCB rationalized its procedure for consent administration. The Salient features of present Consent administration mechanism are: Decision making process made more decentralized whereby quick decision can be taken at Regional & Circle Office level including DICs. Enabling the industries to file application for ' Consent to Establish' & 'Consent to Operate' through web-based EMIS. Government of West Bengal has launched ‘Shilpa Sathi’, SWC to assist investors for obtaining licenses and registration from relevant important State Government departments from a single place. WBPCB also participates in Shilpa Sathi for grant of ‘Consent to Establish’. Initially, in Phase-I, the facility of Shilpa Sathi will be available to investors, who want to set up medium and large industries in Kolkata, Howrah, Hooghly,South24-Parganas and North 24-Parganas districts • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  19. Consent Administration • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  20. Validity Periods of Consent to Establish & Consent to Operate • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  21. Common Pollution Control Facilities • SSIs, due to their limited size and scale of operations do not find it economically viable to install dedicated pollution control equipment and therefore the concept of Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) is suitable for them. • CETP at Kolkata Leather Complex, Bantala • A common facility for treatment of Waste Water Generated from Tannery Units located at Kolkata Leather Complex, Bantala has been set up. • Total 308 nos. of units (relocating and new) are in operation with waste water discharging quantity 19.641MLD. • West Bengal Pollution Control Board

  22. MoEF Sponsored Scheme for CETP • MoEFhas been implementing a centrally sponsored scheme for CETPs. • The Central assistance will be available for Establishment of new CETPs in an IE or a clusters of SSIs. • The project cost may include • 1. Plant and machinery for primary, secondary and tertiary treatment • 2. Onsite laboratory with standard set of instruments • 3. Zero liquid discharge and related technologies • Large and Medium Scale Industries other than GPIs may join the CETP after primary treatment.

  23. Contd… • Financial Assistance – • Central subsidy restricted to 50% of the Project Cost, State’s share 25% and PP’s share 25% • Central Assistance will be provided only to meet capital costs. • No provision for retrospective funding and for operation and maintenance cost.
