Shri Ajit Relekar, Chairman of Committee welcomed all and informed
officials of the project to explain the details of pollution control devices and
environment management plan of the project in local language Marathi
through power point presentation. He also appealed general public to give
objections / suggestions if any about the project after their technical
presentation.
The Environment Consultant of the company has given the
presentation of the expansion project and Environment Management Plan in
detail.
After completion of the presentation, Chairman of the Committee and
Convener of the Committee appealed general public to ask any questions to
project officials.
Shri Kisan Kerappa Dhoot, Chincholi-Kati village informed that whatever
shown in the presentation is totally wrong. He said that his agriculture field is
near the plant only. Since the inception of the plant, the management has not
given attention towards pollution control since 15-16 years. The drinking
water sources and wells in the vicinity are polluted. The agriculture land of
the nearby fields has become barren. If cattle animals like cow, buffaloes
drinks the water, they die. The management even not allows entering in the
front gate for submitting the complaints. Hence the problems of pollution
control are not solved in the existing unit only, after the expansion it will
increase. The project proponent should not be allowed for expansion.
Shri Rajesh Haridas Patil, Dy.Sarpanch of Chincholi village informed that
many writing complaints have been sent to project officials. No action is
taken. The company has grabbed the private agriculture land In the vicinity
and shown the Panchanama. The adjoining agriculture fields have became
barren.
Answer- Company officials Shri. Shaikh, informed that as per the new
Guidelines of Govt, of India, the project will be “Zero Liquid Discharge”
project. At present, 35% of the +jtal effluent is recycled and reused in the
process and after the expansion, 51 % of the total effluent will be recycled and
will be reused in the plant. The management has planned to install Reverse
Osmosis system and not a single drop of effluent will be generated outside
the factory. Sometimes the issue of discharge outside the factory arises
especially in the rainy season due to rain water flow. But we are trying hard to
avoid the same.
Shri Dharmaraj Maruti Koli, Chincholi Kati village. th( ugh the project
proponent promises for total zero discharge, nothing will happen. The local
agriculturists have given their land for development of MIDC with a dream of
socio-economic development and job opportunities to local people. The local
people have been deprived from the promises. The hard working local youths
are unemployed. The nearby wells natural water reservoirs have been
contaminated by the factory. Hence fishing business is totally hampered.
The management does take any responsibility of giving jobs to local people.
He blamed that there is no immediate action from MPCB and Environment
Department.
Chairman of the Committee remarked that if the project proponent
gives job opportunities to local people, does it mean that there are no other
issues. The local people informed that there is severe environment pollution
due to this project.
Shri Dilip Algar, Chincholi Kati village appealed the Committee to visit the
site after the meeting and observed the agriculture fields of vicinity became
barren due to this project. There is threat to environment.
Shri Sunandan Reddy, an Environmentalist from Hyderabad appealed the
management to implement Environment Management Plan. He requested to
prepare the “Health Data" of the radius of 10 Km, and implement the rain
water harvesting. He requested to build the confidence of local youths by
extending skilled training programmes under Corporate Social Responsibility
Scheme.
Chairman of the Committee informed that the written opinion of Shri
Sunandan Reddy is received by the Committee and noted the points.
Shri Relekar, Chairman of the Committee further asked the project
proponent that as per strict Guidelines of Govt, of India, the management has
to follow zero discharge policy for the proposed project. But the local people
are complaining that due to existing plant, the well water and ground water Is
polluted. The local person complains that the well water has not remained
potable. The agriculture land became barren. He appealed the project
proponent to develop a mechanism that the local people should visit the
factory openly and supports the environment management plan. The
committee directed company officials io explain every issue.
Answer- Company officials while denying the objections, answered that the
pollution might have occurred due to other chemical factories running in
MIDC. He further informed that the Government has strictly prescribes that
well water should be used for drinking purposes after adopting scientific
method of disinfection only. It is informed that that Rs. Four Crores have
been spent for installation of the system. He informed that industrial effluent
generated from existing and proposed expansion activities would be
segregated into two streams i.e. Stream-1, which have High TDS and High
COD effluent and Stream-11, which have Low TDS and COD. The Stream-1
will be treated in an Effluent Treatment Plant followed by Triple Effect
Evaporator (TEE) and Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD), which will be sent to
Stream-11 for treatment. The Stream-11 after scientific treatment would be
recycled back for washing. The process effluent generated from the existing
and proposed activities are given adequate treatment and will be completely
recycled, thereby Zero Discharge will be achieved.
Shri Salunkhe, Member opined that it is observed that the present disposal of
the project is not proper and reuse is a total responsibility of the project
proponent. Also in report, it is mentioned that at present the company has
developed the green belt of 14% only and it may be 38% after acquiring the
adjoining plot of MIDC. It shows that they have not followed MPCB consent
guidelines.
Convener of the Committee informed that cognizance of complaints is
taken from time to time by the MPCB Solapur office.
Shri Datta Bhosale, Chincholi Kati village informed that the local person
alleges that wood is used by the management in the process by cutting the
forest trees unauthorizely. The local people residing the project site do suffer
due to smoke.
Answer- Convener of the committee informed that use of wood is not allowed
as per consent condition and if it is observed, then the instructions will be
given to stop the use of wood.
Answer- Company officirls informed that Reverse Osmosis System will be
installed and not a drop of effluent will be generated outside the factory.
Shri Mahendra Waghmare, Grampanchayat Member and Narayan
Kirappa Dhotre opined that the committee should inspect the site and
adjoining area. Also the study should be carried on the effects of ground
water system due to present and future expansion of the project.
Answer- Shri Awatade, Convener of the Committee informed that action is
always taken by the MPCB by giving directions and forfeiting of bank
guarantee. The opinion expressed by the local people in the meeting is
considered and separate investigation will be carried out to review the
allegations against the existing unit.
Answer- Technical Advisor of the project informed that certain issues may be
resolved by interaction only. Hence Environment Management Committee
consisting of project officials, Revenue officials, MPCB officials and local
people may please be constituted to resolve certain issues.
Chairman of the Committee informed that the Government always
desires that there should be sustainable development. He further informed to
the note the feelings of local people who have given their land for
development, but have been deprived by job opportunities. Chairman of the
committee remarked that without co-operation of the local people, any project
cannot succeed.
The Committee has discussed the issues raised in the meeting.
After reviewing. Chairman of Committee informed that the present
public hearing is for future expansion of the project. The Govt, of India while
sanctioning Terms of Reference, prescribed Specific and Additional ToR in
addition to Generic ToR. Now it is strict guidelines that the project should be
Zero Liquid Discharge. The proceedings of the meeting will be sent to
MoEFCC, Govt, of India in which the opinion, suggestions and objections will
be included. Also the written objections received during the hearing will be
sent alongwith the report. The Expert Committee will consider the objections
and suggestions.
The Committee further has taken note of the views expressed by the
local people in the meeting for existing plant. It is decided that a Committee
consisting of concerned department, 2 representatives from local area &
MPCB will be reviewed allegations/opinions expressed against the present
unit. The Committee will suggest mechanism to solve the issues. Chairman
of the Committee also directed Convener of the meeting, to take follow up for
issuance of the Order and periodical visits. The report will be submitted to the
Government for consideration.
While concluding the meeting, Chairman of the Committee opined that
though the development of the industrial zone is necessary for socio
economic development, it should not be at the cost of environment
degradation. He suggested that in Environment Audit report, inclusion of
social and economic audit issues may be made. He thanked local people who
came & raised objections and gave suggestions. Chairman of the committee

7.1. PUBLIC CONSULTATION
The proposed capacity utilisation activities under expasnion shall be carried out in the existing infrastructure in premises of SOL.
As stated in Chapter – 1, the proposal is treated as Category ‘A’. Moreover, the expansion project also needs to undergo Public Hearing (PH) as industry is established partly on NA land adjacent to MIDC plot. Accordingly, PH was conducted and details of same are presented as follows- Details of Public Hearing
Date of Public Hearing : 13.06.2017 Place of Hearing : Plot No. P-7, Udyog Bhavan, Solapur Industries
Association Building, MIDC Chincholi. Advertisement given : 13.05.2017 News Paper : ‘Daily Lokmat (English & Marathi) Members Present :

7.1.1 At a Glance details on Minutes of Public Hearing Meeting
No. Issues Raised Response Given / Received Action Plan 1. Shri Kisan Kerappa Dhoot
Chincholikati informed that his agriculture field is near the plant. Since the inception of the plant, the management has not given attention towards pollution control since 15-16 years. The drinking water sources and wells in the vicinity are polluted. The agriculture land of the nearby fields has become barren. If cattle animals like cow, buffaloes drinks the water, they die. The management even not allows entering in the front gate for submitting the complaints. Hence the problems of pollution control are not solved in the existing unit only, after the expansion it will increase. The project proponent should not be allowed for expansion. Shri Rajesh Haridas Patil, Dy. Sarpanch of Chincholi village informed that many writing
Mr. Shaikh Vice President (Production & Operation) of project informed that as per the new Guidelines of Govt, of India, the project will be “Zero Liquid Discharge” project. At present, 35% of the total effluent is recycled and reused in the process and after the expansion, 51 % of the total effluent will be recycled and will be reused in the plant. The management has planned to install Reverse Osmosis system and not a single drop of effluent will be generated outside the factory. Sometimes the issue of discharge outside the factory arises especially in the rainy season due to rain water flow.
Under existing unit entireeffluent generated to the tune of 59 CMD is segregated and treated in full fulleged ETP comprising of MEE and RO unit and recycled back for cooling, DM backwash thereby reducing 35% of total fresh water requirement of 157 CMD. Likewise, under expansion, 32.3 CMD effluent would be treated and recycled entirely thereby reducing 51% of total freshwater requirement of 58 CMD. Refer Chapter -2 for more details. Industry has provided separate storm water drainage for collection of storm water during rainy season hence there is no chance of effluent

No. Issues Raised Response Given / Received Action Plan complaints have been sent to project officials. No action is taken. The company has grabbed the private agriculture land In the vicinity and shown the Panchanama. The adjoining agriculture fields have became barren.
mixing in rain water. Refer Chapter -2 Figure 2.3 for storm water drainage photographs.
2. Shri Dharmaraj Maruti Koli, Chincholi Kati village informed that The though the project proponent promises for total zero discharge, nothing will happen. The local agriculturists have given their land for development of MIDC with a dream of socio-economic development and job opportunities to local people. The local people have been deprived from the promises. The hard working local youths are unemployed. The nearby wells natural water reservoirs have been contaminated by the factory. Hence fishing business is totally hampered. The management does take any responsibility of giving jobs to local people. He blamed that there is no immediate action from MPCB and Environment Department.
Chairman of the Committee remarked that if the project proponent gives job opportunities to local people, does it mean that people will not raise any question.
SOL is located in notified Industrial area and is following the norm of ZERO DISCHARGE for existing unit. Further, same would be followed after expansion. Under existing unit about 360 no. of worker are employed out of which 90% are from local area. No new manpower under expansion would be required.
3. Shri Dilip Algar, Chincholi Kativillage appealed the Committee to visit the site after the meeting and observed the agriculture fields of vicinity became barren due to this project. There is threat to environment.
The MPCB officials informed that the Field Officer and SRO, of Solapur MPCB regularly visits the industrial unit in MIDC and issues show cause notices to non -complying industries. Further, bank guarantee are taken from industries till the compliance are implemented on site.

4. Shri Sunandan Reddy, an Environmentalist from Hyderabad appealed the management to implement Environment Management Plan. He requested to prepare the “Health Data" of the radius of 10 Km, and implement the rain water harvesting. He requested to build the confidence of local youths by extending skilled training programs under Corporate Social Responsibility Scheme.
Chairman of the Committee informed that the written opinion of Shri. Sunandan Reddy is received by the Committee and noted the points.
Under proposed expansion project CSR plan have been prepared. Therein, an amount of Rs.15 Lakh has alreadybeen earmarked towards provision of health check up facility for nearby villages viz. Chincholikati, Kondi, Akolekati, Pakani. Also, funds have been earmarked in proposed CSR of Rs. 37.5 Lakh for providing rain water harvesting system in above villages. Refer Chapter-6 section 6.6-for proposed CSR plan and implementation schedule.

Committee further asked the project proponent that as per strict Guidelines of Govt, of India, the management has to follow zero discharge policy for the proposed project. But the local people are complaining that due to existing plant, the well water and ground water is polluted. The local persons complain that the well water has not remained potable. The agriculture land became barren. He appealed the project proponent to develop a mechanism that the local people should visit the factory openly and supports the environment management plan. The committee directed company officials is explain every issue.
Company officials while denying the objections, answered that the pollution might have occurred due to other chemical factories running in MIDC. He further informed that the Government has strictly prescribes that well water should be used for drinking purposes after adopting scientific method of disinfection only. It is informed that that Rs. Four Crores have been spent for installation of the system. He informed that industrial effluent generated from existing and proposed expansion activities would be segregated into two streams i.e. Stream-1, which have High TDS and High COD effluent and Stream-11, which have Low TDS and COD. The Stream-1 will be treated in an Effluent Treatment Plant followed by Triple Effect Evaporator (TEE) and Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD), which will be sent to Stream-11 for treatment. The Stream-11 after scientific treatment would be recycled back for washing. The process effluent generated from the existing and proposed activities are given adequate treatment and will be completely recycled, thereby Zero Discharge will be achieved.
Solapur is a drought prone area. During survey conducted, it was observed that due to heavy exploitation of ground water for drinking and agriculture purpose the water table has gone drastically low leading to increased hardness, Ca and Mg levels making it non-portable. Moreover, one of the sources of ground water contamination is open defecation in villages.
6. Shri Salunkhe, Member opined that it is observed that the present disposal of the project is not proper and reuse is a total responsibility of the project proponent. Also in report, it is mentioned that at present the company has developed the green belt of 14% only and it may be 38% after acquiring the adjoining plot of MIDC. It shows that they have not followed MPCB consent guidelines.
Company officials informed that Reverse Osmosis System is installed and not a drop of effluent is going outside the factory. Convener of the Committee informed that cognizance of complaints is taken from time to time by the MPCB Solapur office.
The plot area allotted by MIDC for projects are not adequate with requirements of project infrastructure and utilities. In this condition, if proponents reserve land of 33% of total plot for green belt, then there would not be enough land for establishment of project infrastructure. Still SOL have developed green belt along internal roads, and pockets, near ETP, building etc. To cater to norm of 33% of total plot, recently, SOL has purchased adjacent NA land

7. Shri Datta Bhosale, Chincholi Kativillage informed that the local person alleges that wood is used by the management in the process by cutting the forest trees unauthorizely. The local people residing the project site do suffer due to smoke.
Convener of the committee informed that use of wood is not allowed as per consent condition and if it is observed, then the instructions will be given to stop the use of wood.
No wood is used as fuel in boiler installed in SOL. Instead imported Coal to the tune of 20 TPD is used under existing unit and 5TPD under expansion. Also, as per availability Bagasse is used as fuel. Refer details wrt boiler mentioned at Chapter -2, Section 2.8.2.
8. Shri Mahendra Waghmare, Grampanchayat Member and Narayan Kirappa Dhotre opined that the committee should inspect the site and adjoining area. Also the study should be carried on the effects of ground water system due to present and future expansion of the project.
Shri Awatade, Convener of the Committee informed that action is always taken by the MPCB by giving directions and forfeiting of bank guarantee. The opinion expressed by the local people in the meeting is considered and separate investigation will be carried out to review theAllegations against the existing unit.
Technical Advisor of the project informed that certain issues may be resolved by interaction only. Hence Environment Management Committee consisting of project officials, Revenue officials, MPCB officials and local people may please be constituted to resolve certain issues.
