## Critically Polluted Industrial Clusters

## 1119. SHRI SUSHIL KUMAR SINGH:

- (b) if not, the reasons for such inaction by the CPCB;
- (c) whether CPCB thinks that such an exercise is a futile exercise and if so, the details thereof;
- (d) the  year-wise  details  of  the  steps  taken  by  the  CPCB  to  curb  the  environmental pollution in each CPIC separately;
- (e) whether the Government is aware that despite the moratoriums, the CPCB had placed in these clusters, the environmental pollution has significantly increased in many of these CPICs; and
- (f) if so, the corrective steps initiated by CPCB and the Government in this regard?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND CLIMATE CHANGE (SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO)

(a)& (b) During 2009-10, Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) conducted comprehensive  environmental  assessment  of  88    identifiedindustrial  clusters  across  the country and rated them on concept of Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI). Out of these 88 industrial clusters, 43 industrial clusters had  CEPI scores more than  70 and were  identified  as  Critically  Polluted  Areas  (CPAs)  and  32  industrial  clusters    with  CEPI score between 60-70 were considered as severely polluted areas (SPAs). List of CPAs and SPAs as per 2009-10 monitoring is attached as Annexure-I.

CPCB  carried  out  CEPI  monitoring  biennially  for    43  CPAs  during  2011,  2013 ( Annexure-II)  . During  2016,  CPCB  carried  out  revision  of  CEPI  criteria  and  conducted environmental quality monitoring in 100 identified industrial areas across the country based on  revised  CEPI-  criteria  and  identified  38  CPAs  and  31  SPAs.  The  list  of  100  industrial areas with CEPI score are provided at Annexure-III.

(c) & (d)

The CPCB has taken various steps to curb the environmental pollution in each CPIC . The year-wise details of action taken by CPCB are as below:

- 2009:  Central  Pollution  Control  Board  (CPCB)  in  collaboration  with  Indian  Institute  of Technology (IIT), Delhi had carried out comprehensive environmental assessment of 88 prominent industrial clusters during 2009-10 based on Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI) criteria.
- 2010:  Based  on  CEPI,  MoEF&CC,  Govt.  of  India  has  imposed  temporary  moratorium  on consideration  of  new  projects  /expansion  of  existing  projects  for  environmental clearance  to  be  located  in  43  Critically  Polluted  Areas,  vide  Office  Memorandum, dated 13.01.2010.

Remedial Action Plans were formulated by concerned State Pollution Control Boards in co-ordination with CPCB for the CPAs falling under their jurisdiction.

- 2011:    MoEF&CC decided to  lift  the  moratorium  on  the  basis  of  statements  furnished  by concerned  State  Pollution  Control  Boards,  to  the  effect  that  some  work  has  been initiated in line of the submitted action plans. Therefore, the SPCBs were directed to submit the progress reports on the initiation of implementation of Action Plans. Based on the inputs received from SPCBs on initiation of ground work in implementation of action plans, MoEF&CC lifted the moratorium from 26 Critically Polluted Areas, vide their O.Ms., dated 26.10.2010, 15.02.2011, 31.03.11, 23.05.2011, &  05.07.11 respectively,  however,  in  respect  of  the  remaining  17  CPAs,  moratorium  was continued till further orders. The progress made in the implementation of these action plans was being periodically reviewed by the Local Committees and it is noted that the effective  implementation  of  these  action  plans  would  help  in  the  restoration  of environmental quality of these 43 areas.
- 2011:    Simultaneously,  environmental  quality  monitoring  was  also  being  carried  out  by CPCB periodically and CEPI were re-assessed based on the recorded monitoring data in the CPAs.
- 2013:  Thereafter environmental quality monitoring conducted in 2013, CEPI has been reassessed and accordingly MoEF&CC has lifted the moratorium in 10 CPAs and also re-imposed the moratorium in 8 CPAs vide its OMs dated 17.09.2013.
- 2016: CPCB has revised CEPI concept in concurrence with MoEF&CC by eliminating the subjective factors but retaining the factors which are monitor able and subsequently issued  directions  under  section  18(1)  (b)  of  the  Water  (Prevention  &  Control  of Pollution) Act, 1974 on 26.04.2016 to all SPCBs/PCCs having CPAs for adoption of the revised CEPI concept, which includes environmental quality monitoring in all the CPAs, installation of continuous ambient air quality monitoring stations, installation of continuous water quality monitoring stations, application of revised CEPI version and action plan & monitoring.
- 2017: MoEF&CC, sanctioned a project on 'Monitoring, sampling and analysis for ambient air quality, surface water quality and ground water quality in 100 Polluted Industrial Ares (PIAs)'  during  2017-18  to  CPCB  to  carry  out  environmental  quality  monitoring  in 100 PIAs as per the revised CEPI.
- 2018:  CPCB completed the environmental quality monitoring in association with SPCBs/PCCs  by  engaging  approved  four  laboratories  in  100  identified  industrial clusters  across  the  country.  The  environmental  quality  data  and  other  information received from SPCBs/PCC and hospitals were processed for evaluation of CEPI score as the revised CEPI-2016.

(e ) MoEF&CC, Govt. of India had imposed temporary moratorium on consideration of new  projects  /expansion  of  existing  projects  for  environmental  clearance  in  43  Critically Polluted  Areas,  vide  Office  Memorandum,  dated  13.01.2010.  As  per  the  direction  of MoEF&CC, remedial  Action  Plans  were  formulated  by  concerned  State  Pollution  Control Boards for the CPAs falling under their jurisdiction. The progress made in the implementation of these action plans were periodically reviewed by the Local Committees and it is noted that the effective implementation of these action plans helped in the restoration of environmental quality of these 43 areas.  Based on progress in implementation of action plan  moratorium  has  been  lifted.  The  areas  where  there  was  no  improvement  in  the environmental  quality,  the  moratorium  continued.    As  per  that  assessment,  the  status  of moratorium till 2018 is provided at Annexure-IV.

(f ) MoEF&CC devised a 'Mechanism for environmental management in critically/severely polluted areas (CPAs/SPAs)  for  consideration  of projects listed as Red/Orange  categories'  Protocols  to  be  followed  by  the  State  Pollution  Control  Boards (SPCBs) /Pollution Control Committees (PCCs) for improvement of environmental quality in the  Critically/Severely  Polluted  Areas  (CPAs/SPAs)  are  provided.  Stringent  emission  and effluent  discharge  have  to  be  stipulated  for  improvement  of  environmental  quality.  For consideration  of  new  proposals  and  expansion  activities  list  in  red  and  orange  category located  in  the  CPAs/SPAs  stringent  conditions  have  been  recommended.  Any  project  or activity in Category 'B1' will be appraised at the Central Level, if located in whole or in part with in 5 km from the boundary of CPAs or SPAs. Proposals located in CPAs and SPAs may be  examined  by  the  sectoral  Expert  Appraisal  Committee  (EAC)  during  scoping/appraisal based on the EPI scores of Air/Water/Land Environment published by CPCB from time to time. In such proposals, appropriate mitigation measures for environment possessing higher CEPI  score  shall  be  made  by  EAC  in  the  form  of  recommendations/decision.  These recommendations  shall  be  explicitly  mentioned  in  the  Terms  of  Reference/Environmental Clearance letter and shall be ensured by the Member Secretary concerned.
