The CPCB has issued direction on 24.02.2015 under sec 18 of water act, 1974 for pulp and paper mills regarding implementation of "charter for water recycling and pollution prevention in pulp and paper industry" which was required to be complied by 31.03.2017. One of the direction was to treat whole of the effluent and to utilise the same either in the process or for irrigation use. The unit has got conducted a study and prepared irrigation management plan and report on Feasibility of zero discharge application for their plant from Dr. J.P.N Rai, Professor & head Environmental Science G.B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar according to which 75% of their treated effluent can be utilised for irrigation purpose and rest 25% treated effluent is bound to discharge in nearby drain when there no agriculture demand. copy of report has been attached in the note history on 11.4.17. The unit thereafter submitted the said study report along with an request to Member secretary CPCB for getting permission for allowing treated water as per irrigation standard to discharge nearby drain when there no agriculture demand. In reference to the said representation of the unit, CPCB vide Letter dated 21.7.17 has requested to HSPCB to examine the representation of the unit and to ensure that (1) the unit discharge treated effluent into nearby drain only after meeting the effluent discharge standards (inland surface water) prescribed under E(P) Rules, 1986 or as prescribed in the consent to Operate issued by HSPCB, whichever is stringent and (2) HSPCB shall also ensure that the Unit must achieve zero black liquor discharge through chemical recovery process (CRP) as per the CPCB directions. copy of said letter of CPCB dated 21.7.17 has been attached in the note history on 31.7.17. From the above letter, decisions of CPCB on the representation of unit, is not clear as on hand CPCB asked HSPCB to examine the representation of unit where as on other hand it has been asked HSPCB to ensure that the unit discharge treated effluent into nearby drain only after meeting the effluent discharge standards (inland surface water) prescribed under E(P) Rules, 1986 or as prescribed in the consent to Operate issued by HSPCB, whichever is stringent. However RO as well as concerned branch in charge dealing with CPCB direction on pulp and paper mills, has been asked to examine the said representation of the unit. RO has reported that unit has complied with the said CPCB directions 24.2.15, installed online emission and effluent monitoring system and connected to HSPCB and CPCB portal, installed black liquor recovery plant as per CPCB directions and complying the prescribed standards for discharge of pollutants and submitted A/Rs for the same in support of the same. For domestic effluent, RO has reported that with primary ETP, it is being treated in the ETP and finally used for irrigation purpose and as per A/R of the same attached here with it is complying with prescribed standards. For authorisation under HOWM Rules, the RO has reported that unit has been directed to apply for the same on Hazardous waste OCMMS, since unit is covered under HOWM Rules. RO and FO has again recommended for grant of CTO with the specific condition that unit will not discharge any kind of treated effluent out side the premises as per CPCB directions and shall obtain permission from CPCB for discharge of treated effluent into any water stream before discharging. In view of above if agreed, Consent to operate may be granted to the unit for the period 01/04/2017 to 30.09.2021 under water act, 1974 and Air Act, 1981, as recommended by RO and FO concerned, with usual terms and conditions specified by the board and recommended by RO along with following additional conditions: 1. unit will utilise the treated effluent in manufacturing process and for irrigation use as per CPCB direction and will not discharge any kind of treated effluent out side the premises as per CPCB directions and if at any stage unit proposes to discharge the same into any drain or any where other then irrigation, then prior permission for the same shall be obtained by the unit from CPCB and HSPCB. 2. Unit will maintain online emission and effluent monitoring system and will keep all parameters with in prescribed limits by running and maintaining pollution control measures/ devices regularly and effectively. 3. Unit will maintain the compliance of CPCB direction dated 24.02.2015 for pulp and paper mills regarding implementation of "charter for water recycling and pollution prevention in pulp and paper industry" 4.The unit will comply with the HWM Rules and obtain the authorisation immediately. 5. Unit will maintain the log book for ETP/STP and APCM regularly and will submit the copy of same to the Board on Quarterly basis. 6.Unit will deposite balance consent fee if any found due at any stage. 7.Unit will apply for renewal of consent at least 90 days before expiry date of the consent. Further, May if approved, ask RO to examine the representation of the unit as requested by CPCB vide letter dated 21.7.17 referred above for which he has already been asked and also to examine the specific requirement of separate STP and will submit his report with in 15 days.

The undersigned, under the powers conferred by the Government of Haryana, vide its order No. 2/13/2016-1 Env dated 19.06.2017, approves the proposal for grant of consent to operate the unit under the provisions of Water and Air Acts, with the terms and conditions applicable, as proposed

For taking further action as approved.

CTO granted with specific conditions.
