  3. The Study Team (… contd.) • Our gratitude to: • Sri Pradeep Kumar • The then Principal Secretary Environment and • Chairman UP Pollution Control Board • For conceiving and designing the study and for his inspiring leadership and guidance. • Excise Department • Govt. of Uttar Pradesh. • For providing valuable data • Senior Officers of the U.P. Pollution Control Board • For their valuable inputs.

  4. EVOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION • FIRST WAVE – THE TRADITIONAL REGULATORY APPROACH • SECOND WAVE – MARKET BASED INSTRUMENTS • - POLLUTION CHARGES • - PRODUCT CHARGES • - USER FEE • - PERFORMANCE BONDS • - LIABILITY PAYMENTS • - NON COMPLIANCE FEES • - DEPOSIT REFUND SCHEME • - TRADEABLE PERMITS • THIRD WAVE – PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

  5. BENEFITS OF PUBLIC DISCLOSURE • CREATION OF MARKET OPPORTUNITIES • IMPROVEMENTS IN ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE • INCREASED CONFIDENCE OF INVESTORS, INSURERS AND • FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS • IMPROVED RELATIONSHIP WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES, • REGULATORS AND NON GOVERNMENT ORGANISATIIONS • GREATER CONTROL OF ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURE • INCREASED STAFF COMMITTMENT

  6. PRACTICED AS • Involuntary – Media Exposures, Notices, PIL Etc. • Mandatory – The Regulatory Mechanism like consents • Voluntary – Press Release, Public Reports Etc. • DRIVERS • Transparency • - Society Wants To Be Told What Is Going On • Accountability • - Fear Of Losing Significant Economic Value Of • Good Corporate Reputation • Synergy Between Economic And Environmental • Performance

  7. ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION • THE WATER (PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF POLLUTION ) • ACT, 1974 AS AMENDED IN 1988. • THE WATER ( PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF POLLUTION) • CESS ACT, 1977 AS AMENDED IN 1991. • THE AIR (PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF POLLUTION) ACT, • 1981 AS AMENDED IN 1987. • THE ENVIRONMENT (PROTECTION) ACT, 1986 • THE PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE ACT, 1991 • THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL TRIBUNAL ACT, 1995 • THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT APPELLATE AUTHORITY ACT, • 1997 • NATIONAL BIODIVERSITY ACT, 2002

  8. INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISM • -CENTRAL POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD • - STATE POLLUTION CONTROL BOARDS • INCENTIVES / DISINCENTIVES • - FINES • - BANK GUARANTEES • - CESS REBATE • - CONSENT VALIDITY • - LOCATION • - CLOSURES • - PROSECUTION

  9. Environmental Performance Rating A Pioneering Initiative • U.P. Pollution Control Board, in a pioneering initiative is making efforts to change the paradigm of the way Pollution Control is commonly understood. • Dispel the notion that, Pollution Control is an end of process, cost-intensive, loss-making effort. • Rather, environmental management and pollution control means harmonizing resources, process and outputs.

  10. Objectives of this Study • To place a Mirror before the industry in the form of Environmental Performance Rating to make them aware about their strengths and weaknesses as also the opportunities & threats, so as to enable self-correction and continual improvement in their environmental performance. • To encourage pro-active role by the Industry to improve its Environmental Performance through benchmarking.

  11. Significance of Alcohol Industry • Downstream unit of Sugar Industry- Synergy with Sugar & Paper • Utilising wastes (Molasses) to produce Alcohol, an essential input of the Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industry and a product for human consumption. • Alcohol – great potential for use as Fuel for automobiles – GASOHOL. • But, also known for discharging highly polluted effluents and is included in ‘Schedule-1’ of Water Cess Act. An EIA is a pre-requisite before setting up of any unit or expansion thereof.(Contd…….)

  12. Significance of Alcohol Industry(…. Contd.) • Significance in U.P. • Alongwith sugar, the largest value enhancer to agricultural produce. • Contributes a significant part of State GDP – next only to Trade Tax. • Major catalyst of Employment in the Primary & Secondary Sectors. • Unfortunately, also amongst the most polluting industries. • Over 10 MT of BOD load per day into the river systems of the State.

  13. Alcohol Industry in Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal – a profile • No. of Distilleries in U.P. & Uttaranchal - 43 • No. of Operational Distilleries - 37 • No. of Molasses Based Distilleries - 35 • No. of Grain Based Distilleries - 02 • Units not operated in 2000-01 - 02 • Total Annual Production Capacity of the Operational Distilleries - 6,79,777 KL • Alcohol Production during 2000-01 - 4,32,489 KL

  14. Analytical Framework and Methodology • The basic hypothesis for this environmental performance rating exercise has been: • Optimal resource utilisation and improved production processes are likely to result in better environmental performance. • Minimal but conscious efforts can result in achieving the environmental norms. • Therefore, the framework of the rating has three axes: • Plant performance • Regulatory compliance & • Environmental initiatives (Contd…...)

  15. Analytical Framework and Methodology ( …. Contd.) • The study is based on data obtained from – • The industry • Excise Department • U.P. Pollution Control Board • The study is diachronic & covers a span of three (3) years: • 1998-99, 1999-2000 & 2000-01 and includes trend of Performance (Contd…...)

  16. Analytical Framework and Methodology(…….Contd.) • Evaluation parameters identified. • Basic data obtained from Industry on a customized questionnaire. • The Data received analyzed and clarifications obtained from the units, as required. • Consultants’ team visited Eight (8) Distillery units, selected on geographical location and size, to verify credibility of the reported data on a sample basis. • Feedback taken from Senior Technical officers of UPPCB, during a series of presentations. • Authentication of the data, considered for calculating the environmental parameters, obtained from the top management of the distillery units. (Contd…...)

  17. Analytical Framework and Methodology(…….Contd.) • Environmental parameters calculated for various units from the authenticated data obtained. • Latest (2000-01) performance & Trend analyzed. • The two grain based units separately analyzed. • Two (2) molasses-based units- one started in 2000-01 and the other not worked during the year 2000-01, excluded. • Draft Report prepared and presented to the industry in an “Open-house (05.02.02)” for feedback, after which the final report with ratings, prepared. • Individual units informed about their environmental performance scores as well as the potential for cost savings through improvement - “Action Plans requested”
