3.4 Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control)

In order to regulate noise level the Government of India has brought out “The Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules 2000” under The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986:

“The Authority for controlling noise pollution is the officers of State Government in accordance with the laws in force and includes a District Magistrate, Police

Commissioner or any other officer designed for the maintenance of the ambient air quality standards in respect of noise under any law for the time being in force."

In compliance of the direction of Hon’ble Supreme court of India, the board has conducted sound/ noise level monitoring at different locations of Dehradun during pre and post Deepawali. The findings of the monitoring results of the year 2006-07 and during Deepawali are shown in Table 3.4.1 and 3.4.2, respectively:

3.8 Status of Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection (CREP) Recommendation in Uttarakhand

1. Industrial development is an important constituent in our pursuits for economic growth, employment generation and betterment in the quality of life. On the other hand, industrial activities, without proper precautionary measures for environmental protection are known to cause pollution and associated problems. Hence, it is necessary to comply with the regulatory norms for prevention and control of pollution. Alongside, it is also imperative to go beyond compliance through adoption of clean technologies and improvement in management practices. Commitment and voluntary initiatives of industry for responsible care of the environment will help in building a partnership for pollution control.

2. The industrial units which are not complying with the national standards notified under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, will submit action plan to meet the standards and bank guarantee to respective State Pollution Control Board within 3 months.

The time bounding Programme for the most polluting industries (17- category) was made by CPCB on March 2003 and the full authority for compliance was given to State pollution control Board. The status of 17- category industries under

Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Pollution (CREP) is shown in Table 3.8

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

4.1 Water Quality Monitoring

The Central Pollution Control Board under the National Programme “Monitoring of National Aquatic Resources” (MINARS) is sponsoring the water quality monitoring of major rivers of the State. Under this programme, the UEPPCB has been monitoring the water quality of river Ganga on a monthly basis, since 1998 at 13 stations in the state. Under the water quality-monitoring Programme board is continuously monitoring the river water quality and Lakes. At present total thirteen water quality-monitoring stations have been identified on river Alaknanda, Bhagirathi, Mandakani and Ganga. The characteristics of river water quality and lakes are shown in Table 4.1.1 Table 4.1.1: Water quality Characteristics of rivers in Uttarakhand

Under this programme, UEPPCB is in the process of preparing State Environment Atlas, District Environment Atlas and Zoning Atlas for all Districts in the State and industrial siting plans of each district are to be compiled to an abridged industrial siting atlas for the entire state. During first phase, Board has taken two districts namely Dehradun and Haridwar for siting of Industries considering the sensitivity of environment with the pollution potential of industries as to identify sites with minimal environmental impact/risk. UEPPCB has completed digitization of most of the maps with the draft report of Haridwar District simultaneously UEPPCB is working accordingly in order to complete Dehradun and State Environmental Atlas.
