However, protection of natural resources viz air, water, plants and animal life and above all the human being, from ill effects of pollution has prime concern to ensure sus inable industrial development, Jn view of this, Government of India and different State Governments have enacted several legislations and regulations to minimise the impact of industrial pollution on the environment. In our country, SPCBs/ PCCs have been entrusted the statutory responsibility to ensure protection of environment and to regulate the impact of industrial pollution, Under the provisions of the Water Prevention and Control of Pollution ‘Act 1974: Air Prevention and Control of Pollution Act, 1981 and Environment (Protection) ‘Act, 1986 and the Rules thereunder obtaining Consent to Establish and then Consent to ‘Operate is mandatory for each industry /activity having covered under the provisions of Law. Ministry of Environment & Forest also notified “EIA notification,2006" for obtaining jes and infrastructure projects. environmental clearance for good nos. of industrial act Jn this regard Central Pollution Control Board previously had identified 54 types of industries under Red Category of Industries. However, it is observed that States have their own categorisation of industries covered under Red, Orange & Green Category; wherein, an industry cover under Red Category in one state may be in the category of Orange in other state. Therefore, there is an urgent need to rationalize the list of Red Categories of Industries {0 remove any ambiguity in categorisation of industries. Apart from this it has been observed that a large no. of industries, processes are not covered in the list and/or the existing categories need changes due to changes in technology and or sensitivity of land uses, also advanced technolo jon has reduced pollution potentials of industries. Therefore, in order to facilitate process of grant of consent by bringing more sin pollution prevention and control and waste minimi transparency and also to ensure protection of natural resources it was proposed to consider the review of Categorisation of industries. Considering the need, one working group for “Inventorization of 17 category of idustries/ \Groesly polluting industries and Red category indusivies ” have been constituted by CPCI in pursuance of the decision taten ia 56" Conference of Chairman ant Member Secretaries, held in Hew Delhi,2610.

It was recognized that an updated inventorization is also required for formulation of policy, monitoring enforcement & compliance. India has an extensive environmental management system with a comprehensive set of environmental laws, specific statutory mandates, regulatory instruments and institutional frameworks to implement and enforce environmental policy objectives. It involves a shared responsibility between the Center and the States, with the Central Government having the responsibility for policy and regulatory formulations and the State Governments for ensuring implementation and enforcement of national policies and laws. Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has already identified 54 types of industries under RED category of industries (TABLE-1.1) & 17 Category of highly polluting industries (TABLE 1.2). However, it is observed that different SPCBs / PCCs follow their own ist of Indust to State. Therefore, there is au urgent need to rationalize the list of Red category les. So, the categorization of industiies vary from State category of industries to remove any ambiguity in categorization of industries, 1 has been also assessed that refinement of the data base management of the 17 categories/ Grossly Polluting Industries under NRCD and Red Category industiies is required along with harmonization of Red, Orange & Green categories of industries across the country. All Boards agreed on the need for uniform catego the Red, Orange and Green industies. ‘PCB has constituted the Working Group on “Inventorization of 17 Category/ Grossly jon of industries under Folluting Industries and Red Category Industries” consisting of 1. West Bengal Pollution Control Board, Convenor Madhya pradesh Pollution Control Board, Member 2. Maharashtra Pollution Control Board 4. Onisea State Pollution Control Board mn Pollution Control Board 2 &. Cantval Pollution Canteol Be UlThe committee had several sitings and based on the review, statutory provisions of pollution control acte, industrial guidelines issued by Central Government/ State Governments and the field expertise of the members a deaft new list of categorization of industries are proposed. This list has been prepared by considering the 54 Red category list identified by CPCB and other categorization list of industries followed by different SPCBs/PCCs, ‘An important attempt has been made to categorise the industries based on its pollution potential and likely impact of pollution on the environment, type of pollution viz. air, water, noise and hazard potential of an industry are given consideration to classify the industries. Whether possible , scale of industries (Large! Medium/ Smal! based on their investment) and fuel use has been also given consideration. CPCB designated the West Bengal Pollution Control Board to lead the Working Group on “ Inventorization of 17 Category of Industsies/ grossly polluting industries and Red category of industries” and issued the Terms of Reference of the Working Group vide memo no.

Many of these industries belong to the Red category and have significant environmental consequences in terms of water effluents and or air emissions and hazardous waste. has been emphasized that inventorization of polluting industries and pollutants quantity generated by them and gaseous emissions emanated is essential to assess the pollution fond in the environment by industrial sectors. It was recognized that an updated inventorization is also required for formulation of policy, monitoring enforcement & compliance. As the SPCBs / PCCs are granting Consent to Establish/Consent to Operate and Authorization to industries under Red, Orange and Green categories in their respective states. Therefore a data bank pertaining to industries including the Red Categories will be available with SPCBs /PCCs. It is therefore needed that available information on Red category industries to be documented in prescribed format for proper assessment and analysio purpose. ‘These will help to bring a more focused effort to integrating environmental constrained linked to good environmental management practices, According to present definition Grossly Polluting Industries means ‘Industries discharging efiluents into a water course and a) handling hazardous substances ot b) effluent having HOM load of 100k g/day or mote or «) a combination of (a) & (b).
