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.
