Status of Action Plans for Critically Polluted Industrial clusters Item No. 5.0

Background:  CPCB formulated criteria of comprehensive environmental pollution index (CEPI).  88 industrial clusters were identified and CEPI was evaluated.  An industrial cluster is classified as critically polluted if the CEPI is equal or more than 70.  43 clusters with CEPI score more than 70 identified as critically polluted industrial clusters.

 Draft Action plans were prepared by concerned SPCBs / PCCs and submitted to CPCB in July  Steering Committee of experts constituted to review the draft action plans. Steering Committee  Committee reviewed the Plans in the meetings held between July 5-7, and 19-20, 2010.meetings held between Review of Draft Action Plans

 Suggestions of the Steering Committee were noted by concerning SPCBs/PCC to incorporate in Final Action Plans.  Concerned SPCBs/PCCs were requested to submit the final action plans by July 30,  27 Final action plans from 10 States have been received as on date. Preparation of Final Action Plan

 In-house review committee of CPCB officers constituted for review.  Process of review started from and so far 9 Plans (Gujarat – 6, Punjab – 2, Kerala-1) have been reviewed.  After review, the 'Final Action Plans’ would be submitted to MoEF. Review of Final Action Plans

Proposed follow-up  Recalculation of CEPI needs to be done after implementation of short term and long term Action Plans.  Latest data for the criteria parameters will be collected through joint monitoring ( SPCB + CPCB + local stakeholders).  Monitoring of the criteria pollutants will be carried out atleast at four locations thrice in a year in each identified Area.  Proposed to establish Continuous Air & Water Quality Monitoring Stations linked with CPCB / SPCBs websites for dissemination of data. (Areas having CEPI>80)  Health impact related data would be collected by engaging study groups like Public Health Foundation of India in association with SPCBs and ZO –CPCB.

 A software to be developed for calculation of CEPI.  Software would be made available to SPCBs to assess the impact of short term/long term Action Plans on CEPI value.  The Software will be helpful to ensure adequate vigilance on the compliance in critically polluted areas.  Fund requirement for for above activities: Rs.24 Cr. Fund requirement Development of software for CEPI
