INTRODUCTION

The Himachal Pradesh State Pollution Control Board was constituted in the year 1974 under the provision of Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Subsequently the implementation of the provision contained in Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977, Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Environmental Protection Act, 1986 in addition to Rules framed under these Acts were also entrusted to the State Board. The prime objective of all these Acts is maintaining, restoring and preserving the wholesomeness of quality of environment and prevention of hazards to human beings and terrestrial flora and fauna.

Himachal Pradesh State Pollution Control Board is a nodal agency in the administrative structure of the State Government for planning, coordination, prevention & control of pollution and so also protection of environment in the framework of environmental regulations. The State Board has always endeavoured to strike a rational balance between economic growth and environmental preservation. In the pursuit of attaining the objectives enshrined in the environmental legislations the State Board has followed the principles of sustainable development. Continuous efforts are being made by the board to expand its activities to fulfill the demands of emerging environmental concerns, challenges and new statutes.

The following legislative measures are significant and worth mentioning here vis-à-vis the functions and duties of the State Board.

• Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974: The Parliament in the 25th year of the Republic promulgated this legislation in pursuance to Clause-1 of Article 252 of the Constitution of India, with the objective of prevention and control of water pollution and maintenance and restoration of wholesomeness of water. The H.P. State Pollution Control Board was constituted in 1974 under the provisions of this Act.

• Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977: This Act provides for levy of cess on the water consumed for specific purposes with a view to dissuade wasteful and indiscreet use of water.

• Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981: On the analogy of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 the Union Government promulgated another identical legislation which was exclusively meant to deal with the problems of air quality and preservation and maintenance thereof.

• Environment (Protection) Act, 1986: In order to provide the existing legislation for control of water and air pollution more effectively and to remove the deficiency of these legislations, the Union Government enacted umbrella legislation in 37th Year of Republic. The prime objective of the legislation was to plug the existing statutory gaps whereby tremendous responsibilities by way of functions have been

ACTIVITIES OF THE STATE BOARD INCLUDING THE VARIOUS FUNCTIONS

4.1 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING:

The monitoring of Ambient Air Quality was started in 1986-87 under the National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP) with the objective to find the current status of pollution and to study the trends as a result of increasing industrialization. The general objectives of the programme are:

1. To evaluate the general air quality conditions in the cities and to provide the basis for analyzing long term trends of pollution concentrations.

2. To provide the data for subsequent development of air quality standards and pollution prevention and control programme for the cities.

The Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM) is monitored with the help of Respirable Dust Sampler on the basis of three days per station per week for 24 hours at 6 Towns/Cities covering 14 nos. of locations in the State. The State Board has also initiated air quality monitoring stations at Dharamshala, Manali, Una & Sundernagar.

4.2 STATUS OF RIVER WATER QUALITY:

Assessment of the status of water quality of the natural water bodies is one of the most important activities of the Pollution Control Board. Water quality data not only help to ascertain the nature and extent of the requirement for pollution control measures but also indicates its impact on water quality. 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. The monitoring has been carried out in the month of April, July, October and January every year. In all 219 points have been selected on major rivers Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Yamuna, Parvati, Sirsa, Markanda & Sukhna and their tributaries in the State. These 219 points include 104 points under MINARS project including 39 points in major industrial towns for the monitoring of ground water, 115 points of State monitoring includes 50 points on Hydel projects.

The Samples are being analyzed for physico-chemical and bacteriological contents. The

results are shown below;

If three parameters falls in category ‘A’ but fourth parameter falls in category C. The overall quality of river will fall under Class ‘C’. Following conclusion were drawn from the above studies: In case of major rivers on the basis of Primary Water Quality Criteria, it can be concluded that quality of rivers fall under ‘A’ category of water with respect to pH, DO and BOD in general. The critical parameters observed is Total Coliform according to which category of river comes down to

[AR 2010‐11] Page 30

either category ‘B’ if the Total Coliform are more than 50 MPN/ 100 ml or category ‘C’ if the Total Coliform are more than 500 MPN/100ml.

4.2.1 RECOMMENDATIONS

(1) Frequent sampling be done if river water is used for drinking purpose and water should be properly treated and disinfected.

(2) All towns existing on the bank of rivers be provided the planned sewage treatment work and should not be allowed to discharge the urban waste without treatment into or on the bank of river.

(3) Number of Hotels & Tourist Resorts are coming on the bank of rivers must have proper sewage treatment plants.

(4) All industrial units should not be allowed to discharge untreated effluent into rivers/khads/ nallahs.

(5) Urban waste affects water quality near towns, hence water resources are required to be treated and disinfected before it is used for drinking purpose.

(6) Regular monitoring and sampling of effluent discharge of industries located on the catchment of Jattawala Nala, Sandholi Nala, Housing Board Nala, Masulkhana Nala, Sukhna Nala is recommended.

4.2.2 VEHICULAR MONITORING IN HIMACHAL PRADESH:

The State Board is carrying out vehicular monitoring camps in the State. A total number of 1256 vehicles were monitored/ checked during the year 2010-11. Out of which 100 vehicles were challaned /warned for non-compliance to the emission norms. Therefore, in order to implement the provisions of law, effective and efficient measures are required for vehicular pollution control in the State.

[AR 2010‐11] Page 47

4.2.3 SAMPLES ANALYSIS IN THE STATE BOARD LABORATORIES:

The State board has 4 laboratories for carrying out analysis of water, waste water, solid waste, air and bio-monitoring samples collected by the Board’s officers. One small laboratory for analysis of only SO2, NOx & RSPM in ambient air is at Shimla. The details of samples analyzed by the laboratories during the year 2010-11 is as follows;

4.3 POLLUTION CONTROL, SURVEILLANCE & MONITORING

The objectives and functions of the Board are defined in under section 17 of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. In order to achieve the larger objectives of the aforesaid acts and yet keep the pace of sustainable growth, the State Board ensures that development takes place in harmony with the environment.

The State Board has a field network of 10 Regional Offices to exercise regular checks on

the sources of pollution and regulation of the conditions of consent granted to the industries with the prime objective of controlling pollution at source.

[AR 2010‐11] Page 48

4.3.1 CONSENT MECHANISM:

According to the provisions of the aforesaid Acts, Consent of the State Board is required by all the development projects, the industrial units, tourism projects, Hydel projects, mining units and sewage treatment systems.

The consent mechanism encompasses permission to establish and/or operate any development project which is governed by the provisions of sections 24 and/or 21 of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and/or Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 respectively, as may be applicable to the development project under consideration. The different stages of the consent mechanism concurrent to the implementation of the projects are briefly discussed below:

Consent to Establish is granted to the industry after evaluation of the potential environmental pollution and after the examination of the engineering design and details of the systems proposed for controlling the pollution. The conditions consistent to pollution control requirements are incorporated in Consent to Establish. These conditions are reviewed in terms of their compliance and ‘Consent to Establish’ is converted to ‘Consent to Operate’ after ensuring that the engineering systems for control of water and air pollution are fully implemented. The ‘Consent to Operate’ is usually valid for financial year which is also granted subject to the condition that the control systems shall be so operated and maintained as to ensure compliance to the standards prescribed for emissions and/or effluents as the case may be. Consent to operate initially granted for financial year and performance of the pollution control systems is regularly monitored. Actions are taken against the non-complying cases by issuing directions for suspension of production and disconnection of power supply till the unit improves the functioning of pollution control systems to comply norms. Depending upon the performance of the pollution control systems, further renewal of consent is granted.

The achievements made during 2010-11 in discharge of regulatory functions under the

provisions of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977 and Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 are given hereunder:
