Item No. 9.0
Role of State Pollution Control Boards in
Compliance and monitoring of
conditions of Environmental Clearance
MONITORING OF ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE(EC)
EIA notification, dated September 14, 2006 require to
obtain prior EC for any new/expansion/modernization
project activities specified in the schedule-I.
38 project activities specified in the schedule, require EC
from MoEF under Category -A of the schedule.
Concerned State Environmental Impact Assessment
Authority (SEIAA) issue E.C. for the projects under
Category-B of the schedule.
Project proponents have to obtain EC from the MoEF
where SEIAA is not constituted so far .
MONITORING & COMPLIANCE:
Monitoring Mechanism needs to be introduced and
concerted efforts are needed at the level of SPCBs / PCCs
and accordingly following methodology is proposed :
1. Conditions contained in the EC should also be
incorporated in the Consent Letters issued by SPCBs /
PCCs under the Water Act, 1974 and the Air Act, 1981.
2. While monitoring compliance of the consent conditions
of Air / Water consents, the compliance of conditions
stipulated in EC should also be monitored by SPCBs /
PCCs .
3. The results of monitoring & inspection reports should be
sent to Regional Offices of MoEF and CPCB by post and
e-mail.
4. Project proponent should be directed to self monitor the
‘Criteria Pollutants’ and submit the same to Authorities
of MoEF, CPCB and SPCBs / PCCs. The monitoring
results shall be displayed in front of the premises of
Industry.
SPCBs/PCCs are requested
to incorporate above
conditions in letters of Consent to Establish & Operate to
new projects and Revised / Amended Consent conditions
to the existing projects where such conditions have not
been given.
