Chapter-1 


1.1 INTRODUCTION 

Decisions were taken at the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in 

Stockholm in June, 1972, to take appropriate steps for the preservation of the natural resources 

of the earth which, among other things, include the preservation of the quality of 

Water, Air and control of Water & Air pollution. 

In accordance with the decision of United Nations, the Government of India has taken initiative 

to provide for Prevention and Control of Water Pollution and maintenance or restoration 

of wholesomeness of water. As a major legal frame work for Prevention and Control of water 

pollution, the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 was enacted as a first 

initiative. The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB or ‘The Board’) was constituted 

as the ‘Karnataka State Board for the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution’ by the 

Government of Karnataka on 21.9.1974, under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) 

Act 1974 (in short the Water Act). Later as per the Water (Prevention and Control of 

Pollution) amendment Act 1988 (Art.53 of 1988), the name of the Board was changed as 

Karnataka State Pollution Control Board. Initially the mandate of the Board was only to 

implement the Water Act 1974; subsequently the Board was given the responsibility of implementing 

the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977, the Air (Prevention 

and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and a series of Rules and Notifications under the Environment 

(Protection) Act, 1986. 

Over the years, the Boards functions have exponded in keeping with urbanisation, 

industrialisation and development in all the spheres that go into making Karnataka a progressive 

destination that offers both quality of life and economic development. The KSPCB has 

come to implement and regulate the compliance of air, water and environmental laws and 

Rules that are intended to ensure least damage to the environment and maximum benefit to 

society. 

Emerging technologies and scientific advancement offer solutions even as they pose new 

risks and challenges. Today’s environmental problems cannot be solved through traditional 

regulatory mechanisms alone, and the Board is acutely aware that in order to strike a balance 

between development and industrialization on the one hand and protecting our natural 

resources on the other, we shall have to marshal the combined expertise, perspectives and 

resources of the best in academics, industry and administration. 

6


The Board recognizes that its role extends beyond enforcement of the laws and regulating 

the implementation of the Rules. We need to look ahead into the future to anticipate potential 

threats to human health and the environment. This is being achieved by bringing awareness 

among the public and other stake holders. 

As we move towards achieving the objective of our mission, the Board, has set itself some 

goals-to meet the challenge posed by climate change through initiatives that will ensure 

cleaner air; to work for access to clean and safe water, and most importantly, to emphasize 

on compliance by stakeholders and the Board’s important role in environmental stewardship. 

The Annual Report for the financial year 2009-10, presents, the Board’s environmental 

programmes and financial performance over the fiscal year. It demonstrates the KSPCB’s 

commitment to be accountable for results, and it articulates the Board’s intention of continuing 

in the coming year to move towards its long-term goals of protecting the environment and 

human health. 

The Annual Report will show how the Board has laid the groundwork for a cleaner environment 

by working with stakeholders and steering them towards cleaner technology and better 

compliance with environmental laws, using the partnership and stewardship means rather 

than merely playing as enforcement agency. 

The Report also shows how the Board, through its many initiatives is engaging with the 

citizens through education and awareness in making collective responsibility towards greener 

Karnataka, thus underlining the motto that environmental responsibility is everyone’s, not 

just the Board’s or the Government. 

1.2 The major environmental legislations and its objectives are as under: 

1. The Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974; amendment 1988 and 

the Rules there under; 

This Act provide for Prevention & Control of Water Pollution by abating discharge of 

untreated trade and domestic effluent by the industries and local bodies; maintaining 

or restoring of wholesomeness of water in river, streams and ground water. The Water 

Act also provides penalties for contraventions of the provisions of the Act. It also 

provides for establishing the Central and State Boards and to establish the Central and 

State Water testing laboratories to enable both to assess the extent of pollution; to lay 

down standards and establish guilt and default.

1.3 Strengthening of Infrastructure facility 

The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board started functioning after its constitution 

by the State Government on 21.9.1974. It started functioning from a very small rented 

premise at K.H.Road (Double Road), Bangalore. The office was shifted to Public Utility 

Building, M.G. Road, Bangalore during 1976. The Board also established a Central 

Environmental Laboratory in the same building but, as the activities expanded and 

infrastructure was also expanded, the laboratory was shifted to “Nirman Bhavan”, 

Dr.Rajkumar Road, Bangalore during 2002. 

The State Government has allotted land to the Board at Thimmaiah Road, 

Saneguruvanahalli, Shivanagar, Bangalore to have its own office building. “Nisarga 

Bhavan” was built on this land, at a cost of Rs.12.45 crores. The Regional Offices of 

Bangalore and the Zonal Offices of Bangalore are functioning from this building since 

2008. The Central Environmental Laboratory is in the process of being shifted to ‘Nisarga 

Bhavan’. The South Zonal Office of Central Pollution Control Board is also functioning 

at Nisarga Bhavan. 

11


From 2004, the Head Office of the State Board is functioning at ‘Parisara Bhavan’, 

No.49, Church Street, Bangalore. The building was purchased from Karnataka Industrial 

Area Development Board at a cost of Rs.21.50 crores and fully furnished with 

modern modular office facilities. During 2008 the ground floor & first floor works were 

furnished to set-up Help Desk, Library, Administration Section, Accounts Section and 

P.R.O Sections. In the third floor an auditorium viz., “Tejaswi sabhangana” was inaugurated 

and it is being used for conducting meetings, conferences, presentations, and 

small functions related to Board’s activities. 

The Board has built its own Regional Office and Regional Laboratory buildings during 

the last decade at Davanagere, Dharwad, Belgaum, Mysore, Hassan and Mangalore; 

Regional Office buildings have been built at Udupi, Karwar, Tumkur and Kolar. 

The Board during the year 1998-99 has established an Urban Eco Park at Peenya, 

Bangalore. In this park an office building is also constructed initially for Environmental 

Training Institute (ETI). As ETI has become a society as per the Government decision, 

they have now moved out. This office building is now being utilized for the functioning 

of Regional Office Peenya, Bangalore North-2 and the Zonal Office.

CHAPTER-5 


5.0 ACTIVITIES OF THE STATE BOARD DURING THE YEAR 2009-2010. 

The KSPCB set up in 1974, is mandated under the Water Act 1974 and Air Act 1981, to 

prevent and control pollution of water and air, through enforcement, education, awareness 

and offering scientific and technological solutions to achieve its goals of cleaner and greener 

environment. 

The Board discharges responsibilities derived from various enactments of laws on every 

aspect of the environment. 

The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control 

of Pollution) Act 1981 specifies the functions of the State Board under Section 17 of the Acts. 

Further, the Board has to implement a wide range of legal duties touching on almost every 

aspect of environment. Major activities carried out by the Board during 2009-2010 are described 

below; 

5.1 Consent administration: 

Under the provisions of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air 

(Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, industries or any other organization which 

discharges trade or sewage effluent or emits air pollutant will have to obtain consent from the 

Board. The following types of consents are issued viz. 

‘Consent for Establishment’ (CFE) for new industry before establishment or for expansion 

of existing industry. 

‘Consent for Operation’ (CFO) after establishment which is to be renewed periodically 

Depending on their pollution potential, the Board has classified the industrial units 

into three categories: Red, Orange and Green. The red category units have maximum 

pollution potential, the Orange category units have moderate pollution potential 

and the Green category units have the least pollution potential. The re-categorization 

of industries is at ANNEXURE – IX. Consent fee structure is at ANNEXURE – X(A) 

& X(B). 

In order to simplify the procedure for filing of applications in respect of Orange and Green 

category industries, a simplified common application form under the Water and the Air Act 

has been prescribed. The applications under this category are cleared by the Board on 

priority, generally with in 21 days. 

Depending on the type and size of organization, decisions on grant or refusal of consents are 

taken either at the Head Office or at the Regional Office level. In order to introduce transparency 

and involve stake holders in consent administration, Consent Committees have been 

24

Sl.No. 


constituted both at the Head Office and at each Regional Office level. Representatives of 

industries or its Association, technical experts and others are included in the Committees. 

The Committees will recommend grant or refusal of consent. 

There are three Committees constituted at Head Office level for issuing CFE & CFO. The 

CFE Committee at Head Office is headed by the Chairman and CFO Committee by the 

Member Secretary. Before these committees the project with capital investment more than 

Rs. 5.00 crores are dealt. The list of members of the Head Office State level Consent 

Committees is given in ANNEXURE -XI (A, B, & C). The committees meet regularly. 

In the interest of streamlining the consent administration the delegation of powers was revised 

as indicated below : 

Consent for Establishment (CFE), Consent for Expansion (CFExp) & first Consent for 

Operation (CFO) for all categories of industries/organizations to be issued at Head 

Office. Except for orange and Green categories 

All renewal of Consent for Operations (CFOs) for Red category industries/organizations 

with capital investment more than Rs.5 crores to be issued at Head Office. 

All renewals of CFOs for categories of industries/organizations other than those mentioned 

above to be issued at Regional Offices. 

All Green caregory industries consent for establishment and consent for operation will 

be issued by regional officers. 

All Orange category industries consent for establishement and first CFO will be issued 

by zonel SED’s

and handling) Rules 2000 and Plastic industry - registration applications under the Recycled 

Plastics (Manufacture and Usage) Rules 1999. 

5.2. Environmental Public Hearing. 

The EIA Notification 2006 is the replacement of the 1994 Notification. Activities covered 

under this Notification are grouped as category A & B. Category ‘A’ requires environmental 

clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forest, GOI and category ‘B’ needs environmental 

clearance from the State Level Environmental Impact Assessment Authority. 

Environmental clearance is mandatory for scheduled activities for new projects or for expansion 

or modernization or change in product mix in existing projects. 

As per this Notification, the environmental clearing process are carried out in four stages 

viz., 

Stage (1) Screening (Only for Category ‘B’ projects and activities) 

Stage (2) Scoping 

Stage (3) Public Consultation 

Stage (4) Appraisal 

The role of the KSPCB is to fix the date of public hearing in consultation with the Deputy 

Commissioners & to assist the DC in conducting the public hearing. The proceedings of the 

hearing will be forwarded to either MoEF or SEIAA as the case may be. Totally 43 Public 

Hearings were held during 2009-10 is at ANNEXURE – XII. 

5.3 Environmental Monitoring. 

Board is monitoring various parameters of environment to assess major changes in the 

environmental quality to take decisions and to evolve action plans to protect the environment. 

Monitoring not only covers ambient air quality, surface and ground water quality, but 

also effluents, emissions, soil, noise and solid waste within the premises of the industry and 

other properties. 

Total number of samples analyzed during 2009-2010 in all the laboratories is 48799. Abstract 

is as under: 

26


Sl. no Type of sample No of sample analyzed 

1. River Water Samples 962 

2. Water samples 923 

3. Ground water samples 1190 

4. Lake/tank water samples (including bacteriological 

samples) 

1774 

5. Waste water samples – trade and sewage 4119

11. Hazardous Waste/soil/sludge/water samples 1293 

12. NAMP samples (SO2, NOx, RSPM, SPM) 1800 

13. Noise monitoring 26 

The details of number of samples analyzed during the year 2009-2010 by central and 

regional laboratories are given in ANNEXURE-XIII. The monitoring of the industrial effluents 

and emissions are carried out to verify the compliance to the consents. Wherever, the 

samples were found not meeting the stipulated limits, actions have been taken under the 

statutes viz., personal hearings, filing court cases, issuing directions for restraining the 

discharge of effluents or issuing directions for closure etc. 

During the period under report an amount of Rs.90,30,677/- has been collected for analyzing 

various types of samples in Board laboratories, which includes analysis charges received 

from CPCB towards samples analyzed under NWQMP & NAAQMP. 

5.4.1(a) River Water Quality Monitoring. 

The Board is monitoring and analyzing river water samples under ‘Global Environmental 

Monitoring System’ (GEMS) (5 locations), ‘Monitoring Indian Natural Aquatic Resources 

System’ (MINARS) (40 locations) and under Board’s Programme (19 locations). The details 

of classification of river water quality is at ANNEXURE-XIII (A), (B) & (C). 

The Board has monitored water bodies before and after Ganesha Chaturthi festival to study 

the effect of immersion of Ganesha idols in the water bodies. 

27


Inference on the River Water Quality Monitoring: 

Central Pollution Control Board has specified water quality criteria depending on the designated 

best use and activities in the river. The classifications are: 

Class “A” – Drinking water source without conventional treatment but after 

disinfections. 

Class “B” – Out door bathing (organized). 

Class “C” – Drinking water source after conventional treatment and 

disinfection. 

Class “D” – Propagation of wild life, fisheries. 

Class “E” – Irrigation, Industrial, Cooling, Controlled Waste. 

Monitoring of the major rivers under various programmes indicates that; the major pollutants 

into these water bodies are mainly the organic and bacterial contamination. This is mainly 

due to the domestic waste discharged into the rivers from the towns and villages located on 

the banks. Secondly, the quality has a bearing on the flow which will be lean during the non 

monsoon seasons. 

At the following three locations, the treated industrial effluents are permitted for discharge 

into the rivers. The water quality at these locations about 100 meters downstream of the 

treated effluent discharge point are as under; 

a) Mysore Paper Mills treated effluent into Bhadra River near Bhadravathi, Shimoga 

district. 

The Bhadra river water quality conforms to Class-D during the reporting period. 

b) Harihara Poly Fibres and Grasilene Division treated combined effluent into 

Tungabhadra River near Harihar, Haveri District. 

The Tungabhadra river water quality conforms to Class-D during the reporting 

period except in October 2009 it was Class- C. 

c) West Coast Paper Mills Ltd treated effluent into Kali River near Bangur Nagar 

near Dandelhi, Uttara Kannada District. The Kali river water quality conforms to 

Class-D during reporting period. 

At all other locations the river water quality is generally conforming to Class-C and Class-B. 

28


5.4.1.(b) Projects taken up by the Central Laboratory: 

1. Bio – Mapping of major rivers in Karnataka. 

Project on Bio-mapping of major rivers in Karnataka was carried out during the year 

2006-07. The project has been completed and the report on the same has been 

published. 

2. Bio-mapping of Tunga Bhadra River 

To assess the periodic changes in environmental quality Bio-monitoring was carried 

out at 15 stretches of Tunga, Bhadra and Tungabhadra rivers using macro-invertebrates 

as indicators, since they are sensitive to changes in habitat and pollution. 

Water, sediment and biological samples were collected and the sampling was carried 

out bi-monthly for a period of one year. Samples were collected from micro-habitats 

for the study so as to get a representative picture. The water quality classes were 

assigned to each sampling location with respect to combinations of saprobic and diversity 

score of benthic macro invertebrates collected. The biological water quality 

criteria are based on the range of saprobic values and diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates 

families with respect to water quality. 

The inference of the study is that; out of three stations on Tunga River two are slightly 

polluted and moderately polluted in one station. Out of four stations on Bhadra River, 

two are slightly polluted and two are moderately polluted. Further, out of nine monitoring 

stations on Tunga Bhadra River one is non polluted, one is slightly polluted and 

seven stations are moderately polluted. 

3. Ambient air quality at breathing Level in major traffic intersections of Bangalore 

city. 

Air pollution is getting aggravated by developments like rapid growth of Bangalore city, 

increasing traffic, rapid economic development and industrialization and higher levels 

of energy consumption. There is high influx of population to Bangalore. Currently, air 

pollution is widespread due to vehicles and lot of infrastructural activities being taken 

up in and around Bangalore. Vehicular emissions are of particular concern since these 

are ground level sources and thus have the maximum impact on the general population. 

Also, vehicles contribute significantly to the total air pollution load in many urban 

areas in the form of increase in particulate matter (PM) concentration. 

As per the transport department official website, as on March 2010, 34.91 Lakhs of 

vehicles are plying on the roads of Bangalore city. PM emissions from vehicles result 

from tailpipe exhaust, wear and tear from tires and brakes, and from re suspended 

road dust churned up by vehicles. Health studies have demonstrated that exposure to 

roadway PM can increase the risk of respiratory illnesses and detrimental to human 

29


health. Particulate matter and gaseous emissions of pollutant emission from industries 

and auto exhausts are responsible for rising discomfort, increasing airborne diseases 

and deterioration of aesthetics & archeological monuments in urban centers. 

Common sources of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) are: smoke from burning of wood 

waste or garden refuse, slash burning, residential woodstoves, exhaust from car and 

truck engines, as well as industrial smoke stacks. In addition to sources that come 

from human activities, PM2.5 is also produced by natural processes. 

The four sites were chosen to represent the typical traffic intersections of Bangalore 

city in the study area. The station represent, road traffic density, population densities, 

traffic locations, and in residential area to cover heavy, medium & low traffic densities. 

The study reveled that, air pollutants for PM10, PM 2.5 are high at traffic intersections 

and SO2 and NOx concentration is below National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Fine 

dust PM 2.5 contains 63% to 93 % organics and 6.3 % to 36 % of metallic content and 

PM 10 contains 38.9 % to 78 % organics and 21.1 % to 61 % of metallic content. It 

can be concluded that in Bangalore city particulate matter concentrations are high and 

suitable measures are needed to reduce the concentrations.

5.5 Noise Pollution Control 

The Board is monitoring noise levels whenever specific complaints on noise pollution are 

received and action is being taken accordingly. 

Complaints pertaining to noise pollution emanating from D.G.Sets, power looms and tiny 

fabrication units located in the residential area are attended immediately by directing the 

concerned owner to provide acoustic measures to bring down the noise level to the prescribed 

limits within the stipulated time. 

The Board has undertaken AAQ monitoring and noise level monitoring during Deepavali 

festival to know the change in ambient air quality and intensity of noise pollution due to 

bursting of fire crackers during the festival. Monitoring was carried out before and during the 

festival at 30 locations in all the districts in the State on 21st, 27th, 28th & 29th of October 

2009. 

5.5.1 Ambient Noise Monitoring during - Deepavali 2009. 

Karnataka State Pollution Control Board has conducted ambient noise level monitoring for 

short duration (5.00 PM to 11.00 PM) at 4 Locations in Bangalore, i.e, AECS layout (Residential 

area), Vijayanagar Club (Residential area), Indiranagar ESI Hospital (Sensitive area) 

and Cubbonpet (Commercial area) on Normal days and during Deepavali celebrations. The 

graph below indicates the noise level at the above monitoring locations.

Dharwad, Kolar, Bijapur, Davanagere, Gulbarga, Chitradurga, Mandya, Mysore and Raichur 

on normal days and during Deepavali days. The graph below indicates the monitored noise 

levels. 

The noise levels monitored during Deepavali festival days at all the locations mentioned 

above have shown higher levels of noise when compared with the prescribed national ambient 

noise levels. Even during the normal days, the noise levels are significantly exceeding in 

Bangalore at the monitoring stations. Movement of vehicles and other commercial activities 

are the cause of increase in air pollutant concentration. However, in Mangalore, Davanagere 

and Mysore, the noise levels during normal days are only marginally exceeding the national 

limits.

6.1 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE BY SOME OF THE IDENTIFIED INDUSTRIAL 

SECTORS: 

Mining, sponge iron, distilleries and coffee estates are some of the focus areas of concern in 

terms of the pollution load and the impact on the general environment. 

6.1 (a) Pollution Control Status in Mining Sector 

Mining is one of the main industrial activities in Karnataka. The major minerals being mined 

are Iron Ore, Limestone and Dolomite. The Iron Ore mining is mainly confined to Bellary, 

Chitradurga & Tumkur Districts and the Limestone mining is located in the Districts of Bagalkot, 

Belgaum & Bijapur. During 1980’s, the major mining activity was started in Chikkamagalore 

District with the setting up of Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Limited (KIOCL). Recently, due 

to the boom in the market, large scale mining has taken place in Bellary and also in Chitradurga 

& Tumkur Districts. 

In Karnataka 602 Mines have been covered under the Pollution Control Acts. The total mine 

lease area in the State is 52044 Hectares, out of which, 26,511 Hectares is in Revenue Land, 

16,731 Hectares is in Forest Land and 8,802 Hectares is in Patta Lands. 

Initially, the KSPCB started covering only few major mining companies under the Water & Air 

Acts like National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC), Donimalai, and KIOCL, as 

they were using water for mining activity and discharging tailings. These mines were also 

covered under the Air Act to take care of emissions from crushers, DG Sets and other point 

and non sources. 

In 1994, the Government of India notified the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification 

under the Environment (Protection) Act 1986. This notification made it mandatory for certain 

projects including mines to obtain prior Environmental Clearance (EC) from Ministry of Environment 

& Forests (MoEF), Government of India (GOI). Mining projects more than 5 Hectares 

in area were covered under this notification. No objection Certificate (NOC)/ Consent 

for Establishment (CFE) was a prerequisite for applying to MoEF for EC. Therefore, from 

1994 onwards, the KSPCB started receiving application from mines seeking NOC/CFE. The 

applications were considered with Rapid Environment Impact Assessment (REIA) reports 

and IBM approved mining plan which incorporates Environmental Management Plan (EMP) 

to take care of run-off, waste dumps, provision of check dams, etc., and NOC/CFE were 

issued from water & air pollution control point of view only with condition. 

48


Action initiated by KSPCB for control of pollution in mining activity: 

KSPCB has taken steps to strictly implement the provisions of the Water (Prevention & 

Control of Pollution) Act 1974, and the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act 1981. The 

details relating to production, water & air pollution control measures adopted by the mines, 

compliance to previous consent conditions, etc., are verified thoroughly while issuing consent 

for operations. Further, the Board stipulates the following pollution control measures 

while issuing consents to the mining activity. 

To provide check dams, gully-traps etc., to prevent the run off from carrying the fine 

particles of ore and silt. The mines are also being insisted to de-silt the check dams 

regularly. 

Fines, sub-grade ore, mineral rejects, over burden and side burden etc., to be stored 

as dumps in the mine lease area and to be stabilized. 

Retaining walls have to be provided to stabilize the dumps. 

Aforestation has to be carried out on the slopes of the dumps. 

Sprinkling of water constantly in the mine lease area including approach roads. 

To metal and asphalt the roads inside the mine lease area as well as the approach road 

to the mines. 

To transport ore in a covered truck in wet condition always. 

Even at yards, moisture content has to be maintained to prevent the dust nuisance. 

Providing conveyor belts within the mine lease area for ore transportation to avoid 

fugitive emissions due to movement of trucks. 

Recent developments: 

The EIA Notification 1994 has been superseded by a new Notification with effect from 

14.9.2006. 

The State Government has introduced Environmental Protection Fees of Rs.84,000/per 

Hectare in respect of mines located in Revenue/Patta lands for compensatory 

aforestation charges. 

Recently, at the instance of Government of India, the State Government has constituted 

State Level and District Level Task Forces in which the KSPCB is also participating. 

49


District Level Task Force Committees are under the Chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner. 

These Committees are looking into the aspects of mining, monitoring and other 

local environmental issues. 

The State Government has come-out with a mining policy called as KSMP 2008, this 

also covers environmental issues. 

6.1(b) Pollution control status in Sponge Iron sector: 

In Karnataka 47 sponge iron units are operating. Most of the units are located in the districts 

of Bellary (33) and Koppal (7) as iron ore is available in this region (Bellary- Sandur - Hospet 

belt). In Karnataka all the units use Coal based technology. 

The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), GoI has notified standards for sponge iron 

units vide Notification No. GSR 414(E) dated 30/05/2008. As per the Notification, the chimney 

height for the Kilns is calculated based on the fuel consumption and the Sulfur content of 

the fuel. Further, a minimum chimney height of 30 m is stipulated for all de-dusting facilities. 

The Sponge iron units are not significant from water pollution point of view, as water is used 

only for domestic and cooling purposes and the cooling water is completely recycled. However, 

these units are very significant from air pollution point of view. The main sources of air 

pollution from these units are loading & unloading of raw materials, crushing & processing of 

raw materials, storage of raw material, kiln and de-dusting facilities, vehicular movements. 

The following conditions are stipulated and implemented by the Board to mitigate air pollution 

from these industries. 

Storage of raw materials within the closed sheds. 

Bag filters for all raw material processing and de-dusting facilities. 

Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) to the Kiln with interlocking between the working of Kiln 

and the ESP. 

Metalled roads within the premises. 

Water sprinkling in the raw material storage and handling area and haulage roads. 

Regular monitoring of ambient air quality and stacks. 

Out of 47 sponge iron units, 45 units have complied with consent conditions by providing the 

stipulated air pollution control equipments to control the source emissions. Out of two non 

complying units during the reporting period one unit has not obtained environmental clearance 

and the other has not provided the required air pollution control measures. The consent 

for these units are refused and further action is under process.

6.1. (C) Pollution Control Status in Distilleries 

The Charter on Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection published by Ministry 

of Environment and Forests and Central Pollution Control Board during March 2003 for the 

17 category of industries, includes the distillery sector wherein the distilleries are expected 

to utilize 100% spent wash. The State Board encouraged the Karnataka Breweries and Distilleries 

Association to take up R & D study for effective utilization of spent wash for agriculture 

purpose. The Central Pollution Control Board has come out with protocols for; 

a) Utilization of spent wash for ferti irrigation; 

b) Utilization of spent wash for composting; 

c) Application of bio methanated spent wash for one time controlled land application. 

Distilleries in Karnataka are following any one or a combination of the following method 

depending on local conditions. 

1. Bio-menthanization followed by composting 

2. Concentration and composting 

3. Direct composting 

4. Bio-menthanization, two stage secondary treatment in aerobic treatment and fertiirrigation 

5. Concentration and spray drying 

6. Bio-menthanization followed by one time controlled land application 

7. Concentration & incineration. 

Board is monitoring the distilleries to check the compliance. 

The status of implementation of the above action plan in the distilleries in the State is as

treated in RO plant, permeate is recycled in the process and the reject is composted. The 

ash from the incinerator is mixed with compost and disposed as manure. This is the first 

distillery in the State to install the concentration and incineration system. 

6.1.(d) Status of Coffee pulping units: 

There are 2289 number of Coffee estates mainly in Coorg, Chikkamagalore, 

Hassan Districts. The coffee pulping operations are seasonal; the pollution problems are 

confined to the pulping season from November to April. 43 units are having effluent treatment 

plants, 2171 units are having temporary treatment facilities. During the pulping season 

coffee pulping units are monitored and if discharges into water bodies are observed, prohibitory 

orders are issued. During the year under report 31 prohibitory orders have been issued

6.2 Pollution Control Measures 

Officers of the KSPCB seizing the coffee pulper 

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. 

The Board has stipulated guidelines for saiting of industries which facilitates both the 

entrepreneur as well as the Board to locate industry in an environmentally safe location. 

The general saiting guidelines are at ANNEXURE – XIV. 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 [i.e, for commissioning the industry] will be issued only if the 

industries have provided stipulated pollution control measures. Also, the Board is encouraging 

the industries to adopt cleaner production techniques, recycle, reduce and recover 

concept.

(E) Complaints redressel: 

During the year under report, the Board has received 1199 complaints, out of which, 1094 

complaints have been disposed. 

6.3 Status of 17 category highly polluting industries 

There are 161 operating industries under this category in the State. These industries are 

required to comply with the provisions of the Water Act, the Air Act and the provisions of the 

Environmental (Protection) Act. At present the Karnataka State Pollution Control 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 by these industries 

is given in ANNEXURE-XVI. 

6.3.1 Charter on Corporate Responsibility for Environment Protection (CREP) 

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. These action points addressed to corporate bodies as well as Regulatory 

agencies. Thus, the charter is commitment for partnership and participatory action of 

the concerned stakeholders. The charter is also a road map for progressive improvement in 

environmental management systems (EMS). Thus, it is not necessarily limited to compliance 

of end of the pipe effluent and emission standards. 

As per the CREP, the SPCB’s are required to verify compliance status of 17 category highly 

polluting industries with the National standards notified under the Environment (Protection) 

60


Act, 1986, in the State 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. 

6.3.2 Promotion of ISO 14000 standards: 

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 

the 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 

31.03.2009, 151 industries have obtained ISO 14001 certification, out of which 22 industries 

are 17 category industries.

Unauthorized disposal of Hazardous waste at Okalipuram Bangalore – remedial action 

initiated by the Board: 

On 29/12/2009 it was noticed that, few barrels of chemical sludge was dumped in the land 

belonging to Railways adjacent to railway track at Okalipuram, Bangalore. The sludge was 

emitting obnoxious odour causing eye irritation, burning sensation and nausea. Board officers 

inspected the area and collected waste samples from the barrels and also the soil 

samples from the contaminated site for analysis and the samples were got analysed at 

KSPCB laboratory and also private laboratories viz., Shiva Analyticals, Bangalore Test House 

and Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltdt. Analysis of the samples reveled that the waste disposed 

was distillation residue and it was from Karnataka Chemisynth Ltd, Jiggani Industrial Area, 

Anekal, Bangalore district. The industry was directed under Section 5 of EP Act and closed. 

Industry was made to remove the waste from the site and incinerate in common incinerating 

facility near Bangalore. Also, the contaminated soil of about 450 m3 was excavated & transported 

to TSDF site at Dabaspet, at the cost of the industry. The industry remained closed 

from 01/01/2010 to 26/03/2010.

During the period i.e, 1-4-2009 to 31-3-2010, 29 appeals field before the Hon’ble Appellate 

Authority under Water and Air Acts. Out of the 29 appeals 8 appeals disposed in favour of the 

Board and 21 Appeals are pending. 

Some of the judgements of the Appellate Authority are as under; 

I. Appeal No.3/2009 filed by Bagalkote Cement and industries Ltd., 

C/W 

Appeal No.4/2009 filed by Bagalkote Cement and industries Ltd 

C/W 

Appeal No.5/2009 filed by Bagalkote Cement and industries Ltd., 

Appeal No.3 and 4/2009 are filed by the Bagalkote Cement and industries against the Consent 

refusal order dt.26-2-2009 passed by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board vide 

Annexure-A as the industry violated the provisions of Water Act as well as Air Act. 

112


Appeal No.5/2009 is filed against the Closure order dt:11-3-2009 passed by the Board. All 

these Appeals the Appellate Authority while setting aside the orders held that, the rules of 

natural justice which demands that a public authority should not condemn a person without 

giving him a reasonable opportunity of being heard. Non compliance of these principles of 

natural justice ipso-facto renders the impugned order is invalid and bad in law. Admittedly in 

this case the Board while passing the impugned order without issuing the notice and without 

hearing the appellant accordingly the orders passed in the above said appeals were set 

aside and the matters are remitted back to the Board for fresh consideration by giving 

reasonable opportunity of being heard as provided under the law before passing any such 

orders. 

II. Appeal No.39 & 40/2008 filed by the Modern process printers, Bangalore 

These two appeals are filed by the Appellant against the order of consent refusal dt.27-11- 

2008 passed by the Board. The appellant in this case has contended that on 29-2-2008 the 

Karnataka State Pollution Control Board has issued notice to the appellant to the effect that 

the Appellant has not paid the proper and necessary fees for a period from 1-1-1998 to 31- 

12-2004 and was asked to pay the deficient fees. Further the appellant contended that the 

appellant is altogether a different entity and it has nothing to do with the earlier industry viz., 

M/s.Modern process printers. The present appellant has taken over the process from the 

earlier owner. If the earlier owner has committed any error or omission in paying the adequate 

and necessary fees while getting consent orders, that in adequate fees can be made 

good by the same owner and the Board cannot direct the present appellant to make good the 

deficient or inadequate fees. The Appellate Authority while considering these appeals has 

relied upon “sec.21(7) of the air act wherein a person to whom the consent has been granted 

by the State Board under sub sec.4 transfers his interest in the industry to any other persons, 

such consent shall be deemed to have been granted to such other persons and he 

shall be bound to comply with all conditions subject to which it was granted as if the consent 

was granted to him originally”. Accordingly the Hon’ble Appellate Authority dismissed the 

appeals with costs. 

III. Appeal No.20/2009 filed by M/s.Noor Stone crushers, Bidar Dist. 

C/W 

Appeal No.21/2009 filed by M/s.Tanayi Stone crushers, Bidar Dist. 

C/W 

Appeal No.22/2009 filed by M/s.Sri.Sai Stone Crusher, Bidar Dist. 

C/W 

113


Appeal No.23/2009 filed by M/s.Manikkamma Stone Crushers, Bidar Dist. 

The Appellants in the above stated appeals have challenged the closure orders dt.11-9-2009 

issue by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board before the Appellate Authority. The 

closure order was issued by the Board on the ground that the appellants have not obtained 

the consent as required under the law, and also not provided APC measures etc., in this 

regard while dismissing the above said appeals the Hon’ble Appellate Authority has held that 

it is absolutely mandatory on the part of the Appellants to get a consent order of the Karnataka 

State Pollution Control Board before establishing a crushing unit. When the industry has 

been started without obtaining the consent order from the State Pollution Control Board 

there is no question of allowing the industry to continue. Stone crushing units generates 

huge amount of thick dust which pollutes the Environment. The visible dust contains particles 

which settle down in the nose and pharynx. Therefore, such industries cannot be 

allowed to remain near the residential areas and they should be made to setup far away from 

the residential area. Accordingly, it is for the appellants to establish stone crushing units at 

the safer zone to be identified by the government as stated by them and thereafter, approach 

the Board to seek the consent in accordance with law. 

LOK ADALAT. 

In continuation of the Lokadalat matter vide WP No.13473/98 field by Bellandur Gram 

Panchayat. The Hon’ble Lokadalat issued direction to the Board to close down the Hospitals, 

nursing homes, poly clinics etc., for not completing the ETP’s. On receipt of the closure 

orders issued to the said hospitals, they submitted requisition in the form of a affidavit by 

saying that they will comply the conditions imposed by the Board in a time bound manner 

accordingly the Closure orders issued were kept in abeyance on 12-3-2009. 

Later, the Hon’ble Lokadalat by its order dt.18-6-2009, directed the Board to issued Closure 

order to Nine Government hospitals as they have not setup ETP’s.The Board has submitted 

the action taken report.
