inspected Mis Magnum Ceramics Pvt. Ltd, Morbi, Gujarat on 19 th July 2012 to assess the status of the<br />

environmental pollution.<br />

WHEREAS it was observed that the coal gasification technology adopted by the unit is outdated<br />

and the environmental pollution control measures inadequate, therefore, there is possibility of water, land<br />

and air contamination due to operation of these gasifiers.<br />

WHEREAS it was observed that cleaning of crude coal gas using wet scrubbing generates large<br />

quantity of tar in the effluent besides the fugitive emissions.<br />

WHEREAS it was observed that brownish colour water was found in the gas sealing water tank<br />

of the unit. This effluent having high COD and phenol with traces of cyanide, if not managed properly has<br />

all the potential to contaminate the surrounding soil and water.<br />

WHEREAS it was observed that the scrubbed effluent after tar settling if not managed properly<br />

and allowed to overflow on the land inside the plant can contaminate the soil and ground water.<br />

WHEREAS it was observed that foul smell and leakages were found from gasifier and overall<br />

working condition was very poor.<br />

WHEREAS it was observed that the unit has spray dryer which uses hot air generated by the air<br />

heater/boiler. Cyclone and scrubber provided as Air <strong>Pollution</strong> <strong>Control</strong> devices (APCD) before the exhaust<br />

was not performing effectively resulting in particulate matter emission as visually observed through the<br />

stack.<br />

WHEREAS it was observed that monitoring of stack emission could not be conducted as<br />

monitoring provision does not exist in the unit.<br />

WHEREAS it was observed that the housekeeping was unsatisfactory as evident from improper<br />

solid waste stacking and lack off proper approach roads within the premises etc.<br />

WHEREAS it was observed that adequate green belt has not been provided.<br />

NOTICE THEREOF.<br />

WHEREAS, the <strong>Central</strong> Government has notified the standards for discharge of<br />

waste as raw material with an installed production capacity of 60 TPD; and<br />

WHEREAS, CPCB issued direction under section 18(i)(b) of the Water Act, 1974 on July 12,<br />

2012 to Uttarakhand Environment Protection and <strong>Pollution</strong> <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Board</strong> (UEPPCB) for<br />

implementation of prescribed detailed implementation programme (DIP) of "Charter for<br />

Water Recycling and <strong>Pollution</strong> Prevention in Pulp and Paper Industries in Ganga River<br />

Basin" by the identified industries located in catchment of river Ganga; and<br />

WHEREAS, Uttarakhand Environment Protection and <strong>Pollution</strong> <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Board</strong> (UEPPCB)<br />

issued direction on 01.8.2012 to the Unit under section 33(A) of the Water Act to implement<br />

the Charter for Water Recycling and <strong>Pollution</strong> Prevention in Ganga River Basin' in the<br />

prescribed time bound manner; and<br />

WHEREAS, the Unit was inspected by a team of CPCB officials on December 07, 2012 for<br />

compliance verification and made the following observations:<br />

At the time of inspection, the Unit and its ETP were in operation.<br />

The Unit has installed ETP comprising of Equalization Tank, Primary Clarifier Aeration<br />

Tank, Secondary Clarifier and Sludge Drying Beds (SDB).<br />

The Unit's fresh water consumption is about 2450 m 3/day while Unit's effluent<br />

generation is about 1650 m3/day.<br />

The treated effluent sample analysis from ETP showed TSS-198mg/I; BOD-62 mg/I; and<br />

COD — 456 mg/I; which indicate non-compliance against the prescribed effluent<br />

discharge standard of 75mg/I; 30 mg/I and 225 mg/I respectively. The MLSS in the<br />

aeration tank was 125 mg/I indicating unstablised Aeration Tank and unsatisfactory<br />

operation and maintenance of ETP.<br />

Contd..2/-


5. Sludge and fibers were observed in equalization tank which needs to be removed.<br />

SDBs were found filled with sludge and needs to install filter press for dewatering the<br />

accumulated sludge.<br />

6 Measures such as installation of Sedicell and change of showers & nozzles are still not<br />

completed.<br />

7 Bypass line has been observed next to boiler section.<br />

8 The partially treated effluent is being discharged into local drain and the effluent<br />

characteristics of downstream of drain showed BOD-71mg/I (against the norms of<br />

30mg/I) which ultimately meets to river Dhela.<br />

9 Unsatisfactory progress with respect to implementation of the Charter has been<br />

observed.<br />

It is evident from the above observations that the Unit has not stabilised their ETP<br />

system and progress of charter implementation programme is unsatisfactory, owing<br />

to which discharge of partially treated effluent is posing threat to water quality of<br />

river Dhela and to the surrounding environment;<br />

AND NOW, THEREFORE, in view of the above observations and in exercise of the powers<br />

delegated to the Chairman, CPCB under section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act,<br />

1986, notice is served herewith to show cause why the Unit shall not be closed down till<br />

upgradation and stabilization of ETP and satisfactory implementation of Charter action points<br />

so as to comply with the prescribed standards to the satisfaction of CPCB.<br />

You are hereby given an opportunity to file your objections (if any) to the above<br />

proposed directions within 15 days from the receipt its letter, failing which appropriate action<br />

will be taken against the Unit, without giving any further notice, in accordance with provisions<br />

of the Environment (Protection) sAct, 1986.<br />

(hereinafter referred as 'the Unit') is engaged in the production of Kraft Paper (using 55%<br />

waste paper & 45 % Agro Waste) and Writing& Printing Paper (using Wheat Straw); and<br />

WHEREAS, the Unit was inspected by the officials of CPCB on 17.10.2012 under ESS<br />

programme and following observations were made:<br />

During inspection Unit and its ETP were in operation.<br />

Unit was found having multiple discharge points for the untreated effluent into drain.<br />

The treated effluent sample analysis from ETP outlet showed BOD-45.3 mg/I; COD-<br />

265 mg/I; and TSS-42.0 mg/I which indicate non-compliance against the prescribed<br />

effluent discharge standard of BOD (norms of 30 mg/I).<br />

MLSS was found 1413 mg/1 and MLVSS as 968 mg/I which indicates poor<br />

stabilisation of ETP.<br />

Sample analysis of the by-pass drain within the Units premises showed BOD-203<br />

mg/I; COD-1183 mg/I and TSS- 684 mg/I.<br />

Unit discharges its untreated effluent (BOD-398 mg/I, COD-1645 mg/I, and TSS- 627<br />

mg/I) directly into Jattah Nallah which meets to river Markande.<br />

7) Monitoring was carried out at stack of 22 TPH Multi fuel boiler. The particulate<br />

matter (PM) concentration was recorded as 273 mg/Nm 3 as against the stipulated<br />

norms of 150 mg/Nm3.<br />

It is evident from the above observations that the Unit is not complying with the<br />

prescribed effluent and emission discharge norms, bypassing the partially<br />

/untreated effluent into Jattah Nallah and posing a potential threat to the Markande<br />

river water quality;<br />
