6.2 Pollution Control Measures 

The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board is regulating the discharge of effluents and air emissions from 

industries through issue of consents under the Water and the Air Acts. While issuing consents, conditions 

are being imposed regarding the effluent standards and also emission standards which the industries have 

to comply with. Compliance to conditions stipulated will be regularly monitored by the staff of Regional 

Offices by verifying the operation and maintenance of pollution control systems and by collecting and 

analyzing the samples of effluents and emissions. The industries are pursued to ensure that the pollution 

control systems are installed and commissioned within the stipulated time. In respect of new projects the 

consent for establishment is being issued only after examining the suitability of the site and scrutiny of the 

pollution control proposals. First consent for making discharge of emission & treated effluents; that is for 

commissioning the industry will be issued only if the industries have provided stipulated pollution control 

meansures. Also, the Board is encouraging the industries to adopt cleaner production techniques and 

recycle, reduce, recover concept. 

The Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India, in its Notification No. SO. 60(E), dated 27-01- 

1994 has specified the projects which require environment clearance from the Central Government. Also, 

Government of India, in its notification No. SO 318(E), dated 10-4-1997 has prescribed a process of Public 

Hearing in respect of those cases that require Environment Clearance by the Government of India. The 

Board during the financial year 2005-2006 has conducted 116 public hearings for the projects attracting the 

provisions of EIA notification.

During the year under report, the Board has received 1,235 complaints, out of which, 1,133 complaints 

have been attended and have been disposed. 

6.3 Status of 17 category highly polluting industries 

The Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India has identified 17 categories of highly polluting 

industries as a priority sector from pollution point of view. These industries are required to comply with 

pollution control norms and continue to remain in compliance within the stipulated time. In Karnataka there 

are 135 industries falling under this category, of which 26 industries are closed permanently either by the 

Board or on its own. With persuasion and monitoring and following legal course, the Board is ensuring 

compliance by these industries. For defaulting units, the Board has taken stringent action and even issued 

closure notices under Section 33 (A) of the Water Act and 31 (A) of the Air Act. The Board is insisting the 

industries to have an Environmental Cell with qualified and competent staff and also to establish self 

monitoring system. The status of compliance to the conditions imposed and standards stipulated in respect 

of the 109 operating units is given in ANNEXURE XII. 

It has been universally accepted now that the environmental performance of a company can be improved 

only by improving the management practices. In this background the International Standard Organization 

has published ISO 14000 series of standards which will help organization to establish a structured and 

systematic approach to environmental management and also help to address the environmental issues in 

a holistic manner. Establishment of an environmental management system in conformity with ISO 14001 

standard will enable the industry to systematically comply with requirements of the law, prevent pollution 

and also to improve the environmental performance continually. ISO 14000 certification will also enable the 

industries to demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection to the interested parties. 

By promoting the industries to go in for ISO 14000 certification, the enforcement burden on the Board will 

also come down since the industry it-self will be taking care of the requirements of the law proactively. 

Considering the above advantages, it is felt appropriate to encourage or promote the adoption of ISO 14000 

by the industries in Karnataka. The Board in its 139th meeting has recommended to make ISO 14001 

certification compulsory for highly polluting industries. As on 31.03.2006, 19 industries in this category have 

obtained ISO 14001 certification. 

6.3.1 Charter on Corporate Responsibility for Environment Protection (CREP) 

CPCB & MoEF have evolved "Charter on Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection (CREP)" 

during March 2003 which enlists action points for compliance by 17 category highly polluting industries. 

The SPCB's are required to verify compliance to the national standards notified under the Environment 

(Protection) Act, 1986, by these industries within June 2003 & insist for bank guarantee in respect of noncomplying 

units along with action plan to ensure compliance. However, the recommendations of CREP are 

voluntary in nature and not a statutory requirement. National level task forces have also been constituted 

by MOEF to monitor the implementation of CREP. These task forces are meeting regularly. 

In line with this and in order to appraise the industries about the CREP, series of meetings were held with 

each industry sector falling under 17 category. All the industries have drawn action plan to implement the 

action points and have by and large complying with it. The action points have been included as conditions 

in the consents issued to the industries. The implementation is being closely monitored. 

6.4 Implementation of Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1989 as amended in 

2000 and 2003 

Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1989 was notified by Ministry of Environment and 

Forest, Government of India during 1989 under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The Rule was 

amended during January 2000 and again in May 2003.

years of landfill operation period and 30 

years monitoring period. The landfill carries 

21 cells and each cell facilitates waste 

disposal for one year.

additional stations. 

5 Simplification of procedures. Decentralization has been adopted by giving 

powers to Regional Officers for issuing 

consents and authorizations to speed up 

the clearance of the applications. 

10.3 Highlights of the Board Activities during 2005-06. 

Board has established a separate cell to effectively enforce the Government order issued for regulating 

the activities within Thippagondanahalli reservoir catchment area from pollution point of view. 

Board has completed preparation of District environmental atlas and zoning atlas for 6 districts. Out 

of these, for three districts the atlases are being revised based on new guidelines issued by CPCB. 

In order to help Green category SSI units, the capital investment ceiling limit fixed to avail 10 years 

validity consent has been enhanced from Rs.25 lakhs to Rs.1 crore. 

In order to help SSI units which have D.G.Sets as the only source of air pollution, Board has submitted 

proposal to Government to fix consent fee based on KVA rating rather than capital investment as 

practiced presently. 

The Board is publishing a booklet namely "Young World and Environment" to bring awareness 

about environment protection and related activities and 20,000 copies of the same is distributed 

among schools. 

The Board has established 2,700 Eco clubs in schools of the State to create awareness about the 

environment among school children. 

The Board has issued authorization to 2 electronic waste recyclers for first time in the country to 

recycle electronic waste generated from IT industries of the State. 

10.4 Annual Action plan for the year 2006 - 2007 

It is proposed to construct one toilet in schools having 200-300 girl students in 32 education districts 

at a cost of Rs.16 lakhs.




The Bio-medical waste generated from 9,000 hospitals in the State requires incinerator/ common 

facility for scientific disposal of waste. At present such facility has been established in 10 districts. It 

is proposed to install such facility in remaining districts. 

To dispose the hazardous waste generated from the industries of the State, Board has identified 93 

acres to establish a Treatment & Disposal Facility at Dabbaspet. This facility will be commissioned. 

The Board is establishing Regional Laboratories at Udupi, Karwar and Mangalore city with financial 

assistance from Asian Development Bank and also in Bellary out of Board’s fund. Regional offices 

for remaining districts viz Koppal, Haveri, Gadag, Chamarajnagar, Chikkamagalore and Kodagu are 

proposed for effective enforcement of pollution control laws and this completes representation of 

one field office in all the districts. 

Board intends to commission the automatic continuous ambient air quality monitoring stations installed 

at Sanegoravanahalli and city Railway Station during the financial year.
