1. Introduction Navi Mumbai on the mainland across the harbour is a major urban development

project taken by Government of Maharashatra. Navi Mumbai is the outcome of

recommendations of the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Planning Board, which submitted its

report on January 1970. Navi Mumbai is developed through a specially constituted planning

authority and fully owned Government Company, namely City & Industrial Development

Corporation of (Maharashtra) Ltd. (CIDCO). Regional Planners as well as special planning

authority have applied their full expertise to provide the best physical environment to this

city. The city has been provided with well-planned amenities and infrastructure re facilities to

the best design practices of town planning and environmental norms.

The physical environment of the city constitutes Land, Climate, Vegetation, Forests,

Wildlife, Wetlands, Infrastructure, Public services & utilities, Air pollution levels, Noise levels,

Water pollution levels, Community facilities & services. The rapid and excessive

development of the city results in deterioration of physical environment that results in the

poor quality of life for citizen.

This fact is witnessed all over the world. Hence United Nations Conference on

Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 established

“Agenda 21” for environmental sustainability. Sustainable development is that meets the

needs of people without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own

needs. The conservation of natural resources is a strong component of sustainable

development. It is thus essential to monitor the physical components of environment in

order to maintain the quality of life in the city and also to ensure sustainable development.

With 74th Amendments to the constitution in India, the local bodies got Constitutional

status but at the same time the twelveth Schedule under article 243 W cast upon these

bodies to perform duties, which are more than traditional one.

“Urban forestry, Protection of environment and Promotion of Ecological aspects” is

one of the important additions in this list.

Protection of environment and Promotion of Ecological aspects is wide subject that

includes many sectors and departments and crosses geographical boundaries. Department

like water supply, sewerage, solid waste management, storm water drains, roads, traffic,

wetlands, trees, gardens, social facilities, markets, buildings, factories, slum improvement,

education are all concerned with the subject.

As per provisions of the related Acts, all Municipal Corporations and ‘A’ class

Municipal Councils are required to prepare the Environmental Status Report (ESR) on

“Protection of Environment and Promotion of Ecological Aspects” at local level every year.


2

The aims of preparation of Environmental Status Report are:

The achievement of healthier and fuller life, including desirable environment for

citizen.

The long-range survival and welfare of society including life supporting environment.

Introduction of environmental management at municipal level planning,

Assessing environment on yearly basis and deciding priority for short and long-term

environmental actions.

Thus Environmental Status Report while assessing the present status of

environmental quality attempts to identify potential problem areas, devise strategies in terms

of priority areas of corrective and preventive actions, enabling institutional mechanisms, and

monitoring arrangements.

The report is divided in 13 sections. First 12 sections deal with each individual

environmental component. This includes review of previous year actions and short term

planning for next year. The summary of environmental status of all components is given in

section 13.

2. NMMC Area

2.1 History

The growth of Mumbai city is constrained by sea at south, east and west. As a result

total land area available for development of Mumbai is limited. Hence, developmental

planners, in late 1960, started exploiting alternative for dispersal and control of Mumbai

population. Eminent architects, Charles Coria, Shirish Patel and Pravin Mehta suggested

Navi Mumbai as alternative to Mumbai.

Navi Mumbai has been developed as a planned city, a counter magnet for Mumbai. It

has been developed as an independent, fully self-contained metro city. Navi Mumbai is the

world's large, totally planned, well-balanced, modern city. Navi Mumbai has been planned

and developed by CIDCO to meet the infrastructural needs of a modern metropolis.

CIDCO is a State Public Sector Undertaking registered under Companies Act in

March 1970. CIDCO prepared developmental plan for Navi Mumbai covering 95 villages

from Thane and Raigad district covering total area of 343.70 sq km. (Table 2.1.1). This was

approved by the Government of Maharashtra in August 1979.

Navi Mumbai has been developed as an environment friendly, beautifully landscaped

area with parks, gardens and promenades along waterfronts. Care has been taken to

preserve the mountainous terrain, lakes and green spaces in Navi Mumbai, which cover

nearly half of its total area.

For catering to the requirements of 29 villages in CIDCO project and 14 villages from

Kalyan notified area, NMMC was formed vide Government order dated December 17, 1991.

NMMC came in to existence on January 1, 1992. Total area under NMMC was 162.5 sq km.

(Table 2.1.2).

In the CIDCO area there are seven nodes viz. CBD Belapur, Vashi, Nerul,

Koparkhairane, Ghansoli, Sanpada and Airoli.

All seven nodes are fully developed and hence, all powers under the Maharashtra

Regional and Town Planning Act 1966 have been transferred to NMMC.

14 villages from Kalyan notified areas are taken out of jurisdiction of NMMC vide

Government order NMC 102000/LNO 54/04/NV 28 dated June 8, 2007. Total area under

NMMC is 108.638 sq km

2.2 Location Navi Mumbai is a part of south Konkan coastline. This coastline joins Sahyadri

mountain ranges in south and 50 to 100 m high hills in east. Navi Mumbai area lies between

mountain ranges and coastline. Navi Mumbai is located between 190.5’ and 190.15’ (N)

latitude and 720.55’ and 730.5’ (E) longitude.

Navi Mumbai is located at the centre of Mumbai Metropolitan Region. To the west of

this area is Arabian Sea while to the north is Thane, to the east is Kalyan and to the south is

Panvel town.

2.3 Demography The Maharashtra Government industrial promotion policy leads to development of

industrial belt in Navi Mumbai. These industries, in turn, attracted a large population as

workers.

Many government and corporate offices have been shifted from Mumbai to Navi

Mumbai. Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Engineering, Textile Processing, Petrochemical,

Electronics, Oil and Processing, Paper, Plastic, Steel and Food Industries in Taloja, IT

sector, SEZ, DAKC and Thane Belapur Industrial Belt of Navi Mumbai offer job opportunities

of every conceivable kind - from engineers to mechanics and clerks to peons. As a result, a

large population of service class and middle class population shifted to Navi Mumbai.

As per Urban Health Post (UHP) survey, the population residing within NMMC area

during 2012-13 was 14,27,375 lakhs. (Table 2.3.2). Ghansoli area is expected to grow in

population at faster rate. The average density of population in NMMC area is 13167 persons

per sq.km. There are 89 ward of NMMC.

facilities are also provided by private sector. In addition NMMC extends services such as fire

fighting, undertakes slum improvement, development and maintenance of parks, gardens

and open grounds, public libraries, tree plantation, entertainment facilities etc.

The status of these amenities and facilities during 2012-2013 is given in sections 4 to

13.

3.2 Status of Environmental Quality Assessment In order to establish the status of environmental quality in NMMC area, extensive

field monitoring was carried out during April 2012 to March 2013. Field sampling was carried

out for ambient air quality, noise level, water quality in lakes, water quality in storage

reservoirs, municipal solid waste, bio-medical waste, working of sewage treatment plants.

Data was also collected on water quality in drains (Nallas), and for influent/effluent from

various sewage treatment plants.

The basis of evaluation of environmental quality index has been retained as of

previous year for continuity purpose. Details of data and Salient observations are discussed

in relevant sections.

4. Water Supply 4.1 Present Status:

Water requirement of NMMC is estimated to reach 500 MLD at the end of 2042 as

per various water supply forecasts carried out by NMMC. NMMC selected Morbe dam as

water supply source and Government of Maharashtra (GOM) permitted NMMC to take over

the Morbe dam on 25-11-2002. NMMC completed balance works of Morbe dam during year

2002 to 2013. The balance works included Morbe water transmission pipeline, augmentation

of water treatment plant, water pumping station at Bhokarpada, master balancing reservoir

at Parsik hill, intermediate water pumping station at Belapur, augmentation of distribution

networks for 24*7 water supply, implementation of SCADA system, installation of bulk and

domestic water meters, construction of ESR/GSR and piped distribution network in gaothans

and slum areas. The coverage of water supply in NMMC area is 100%. NMMC area started

receiving 450 MLD potable water from Morbe dam in 2012-13.

At present, potable water in NMMC area is supplied from Morbe dam, MIDC and

CIDCO. 402 MLD water is supplied to NMMC area every day. Out of this, 350 MLD water is

received from Morbe dam, and 52 MLD from MIDC (Table 4.1.2). NMMC supplies water to

over 120357 consumers through network of 815 km long distribution systems with 114

service reservoirs (Table 4.1.3).

NMMC established elaborate water quality checking and monitoring system from

Morbe dam to tap water at consumers end. The chlorine is added as a disinfectant at

source, water treatment plant and ESRs/GSRs. The residual chlorine is maintained the

desired level (0.2 mg/l) of residual chlorine in the water. This water is distributed in NMMC

area.

Even though, water distribution system in NMMC area is satisfactory and NMMC is

obliged to augment and improve the same to international level. NMMC received National

level awards in recognition for the Efforts to improve the water supply system.

4.2 Status of Environmental Quality Drinking Water Quality Water from Morbe, MIDC and CIDCO is supplied from manmade constructed dam

based on rainwater catchment area hence water quality is better. With acquisition of Morbe

dam by NMMC, water quality is better as water is free from pollution, colour and turbidity.

NMMC carries out sampling of treated water every day and samples are sent to

Environmental Testing laboratory of NMMC for the analysis. All necessary quality control is


12

taken by NMMC in order to supply potable water to citizens. NMMC carries out remedial

action in case of bad quality of potable water.

Water contaminated with pathogens is harmful to human health. There is a danger of

spreading epidemics if such water is consumed. Pathogens enter water supply system

through mixing of sewage at the points of leakages in the water supply lines. NMMC

regularly collects drinking water samples at various critical points including tube wells and

gets analysed from environmental laboratory of NMMC. In case of contamination, the source

of contamination is traced and corrective measures are planned and implemented. During

the year 2012-2013, it is seen that 2.22 percent of samples were contaminated this is used

as a indicator for water quality improvement. (Table 4.2.1).

Ground Water Quality There are 132 total wells in NMMC area. Well water is not used for potable purpose.

NMMC has put up warning signs to that effect. NMMC carries out periodic cleaning and

disinfections of all well water as precautionary measures.

From the different zones of NMMC area, numbers of well water samples were

collected to assess the quality of ground water. The analysis of the water was carried out for

the parameters such as pH, DO, BOD, Residual Chlorine, Alkalinity, and MPN count (Table

4.2.2 ). The analysis of samples revealed presence of E/F-coli in well waters necessitating

frequent controlled chlorination.

4.4 PRIORITY ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS NMMC proposes 24 x 7 hrs water supplies & AMR for citizen by 2013-2014.

The yield of many of tube well is declining. There is danger of creek water intrusion in

tube wells. Ground water level in NMMC area has depleted considerably thus the rainwater

harvesting is necessary to practice wherever possible to increase the yield and to arrest salt

water intrusion.

It is necessary to carry out technical audit of water supply system by independent

authority to judge its design and performance.

5. Sewerage

5.1 Present Status

A well-planned system for sewerage exists in NMMC areas . Total length of sewers is

349.51 km. (Table 5.1.1).

The raw sewage is collected through sewerage network and conveyed by

gravity/sewage pumping stations to respective sewage treatment plants. The raw sewage is

treated to drinking water standards in sewage treatment plant. The treated sewage is

discharge into creeks. This has reduced smell nuisance and water pollution inside NMMC

area.

There are 8 number of sewage treatment plants in NMMC area at CBD Belapur,

Nerul, Sanpada, Vashi, Koparkhairne and Airoli. The raw sewage generated in developed

nodes is 280 MLD. 224 MLD is being treated at STPs. Balance from gaothan & slums is

being let out without treatment.

NMMC has also provided underground sewerage system in almost all GES areas

and gaothans. At present, work of laying sewerage system is under progress at all nodes of

NMMC.

NMMC has provided sufficient as per norms Public toilets, public mobile toilet and

public urinals at public places in nodes and gaothans. NMMC has provided sufficient as per

norms Public toilets and public mobile toilet at available places in slum area.

5.2 Status of Environmental Quality

Waste Water Management

The all treatment plants are re-constructed based on cyclic activated sludge process

to minimize smell nuisance and water pollution in NMMC area.

Samples at inlet and outlet were collected and analysed by respected department

(Table 5.2.1 a & b) to assess the efficiency of treatment plants (Table 5.2.2).

NMMC provided Public toilets, public mobile toilet and public urinals to arrest the

visual pollution due to open defection in slum area at available places.

5.4 PRIORITY ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS

It is necessary to recycle/utilize of treated sewage from treatment plants.

Although NMMC is trying its best to treat sewage to lowest standards on its own, the

quality of creek water is inferior due to discharging of huge treated sewage at 100/100

(BOD/SS) standards by neighbouring cities as those standards are acceptable as per

MPCB. Therefore it is necessary to adopt the long-term policy to arrest the ingress of tidal

water in NMMC area.

It is necessary to carry out performance audit of sewerage system by independent

authority.

There are cross connections from sewers to storm water drains at several places.

Those are to be removed to avoid environmental degradation.

There is report “Zero Pollution discharge in NMMC area” and may be used for re-use

of treated sewage.

6. Storm Water Management

6.1 Present Status

A well-planned system for drainage and holding ponds for tidal water that ensure

freedom from flooding during monsoon exists in NMMC area.

There are RCC storm water drain networks totalling 563 km in length. The ratio of

length of storm water drains to total length of major roads in NMMC area is 84%. Although

the roads in NMMC area are mostly provided with storm water drains, roads in MIDC area

are covered the extent of 50% only.

Storm water management of Navi Mumbai has been planned on the bases of the

Netherlands. The system is called as ‘Dutch method’ Netherlands is the country that is

located below sea level. This method is used for control of ingress of seawater during high

tide and allowing the rainwater to flow in to sea during low tide naturally or by pumping with

the help of high capacity pumps during high tide. The high tide levels and low tide levels

difference has been used to control the ingress of sea water during high tide and disposal of

rainwater during low tide. Essential parts of the system are Storm water holding pond,

Retaining wall, Flap gates and Storm water pumping station.

Navi Mumbai is located below High tide level. CIDCO used this system of flood

control to optimise the reclamation levels of the city.

For disposal of rainwater, holding ponds have been constructed in Belapur (sector 12

& 15A), Vashi (sector 8, 12, 10A, 30A,Vashi gaon), Turbhe (Sanpada sector 30 A),

Koparkhairane (sector 14 & 20), and Airoli (sector 18) nodes. High capacity storm water

pumping stations have been provided at Sector-12 CBD and Sector-8 at Vashi.

Bunds have been constructed around these ponds and control mechanism for

release of water during low tides has been installed. NMMC maintains these ponds.

NMMC improved hydraulics of drainage system. Hence there is no reported cases of

flooding in NMMC area. Stagnation of storm water reduced to large extend. This is reduced

mosquito nuisance. NMMC received National award for its storm water system. NMMC

converted holding pond sector-19 Koparkhairane into rainwater pond for Ganpati idols

immersion and other religious functions. This project is environmental improvement

achievement.

There are more than 18 numbers of major nallas (Table 6.1.2 Length –74 Km) which

discharge storm water in monsoon in creek area. These nallas originate in MIDC area and

carries industrial effluent from industries in MIDC. Many of the nallas convey untreated

sewage from slums in MIDC. These carry mixed wastewater during dry season.


21

6.2 Status of Environmental Quality 6.2.1 Surface Discharges

There are 12 numbers of holding ponds in NMMC area those are connected to

Thane creek. The samples were collected and analysed during 2012-2013 (Table 6.2.1).

Water from ponds found to be unsuitable for recreational purpose. The major environmental

problem in NMMC area is - treated/untreated wastewater in Thane creek by neighbouring

cities including NMMC. Tidal water from creek freely flows in and out all developed nodes of

Navi Mumbai via holding pond and drainage system through out the year. This needs to be

prevented.

There are more than 18 numbers of major nallahs which discharge water with sullage

in creek area. MPCB routinely monitors quality of effluent from nallas. Nalla samples were

collected and analysed during 2012-2013 (Table 6.2.2). The major environmental problem in

NMMC area is due to disposal of partially-treated/untreated sewage/sullage from slum area

and also due to unhygienic activities of washing clothes, utensils. It is necessary to divert

nallas flow to nearest STP for treatment of raw sewage during dry season. The nalla in

industrial area carry wastewater. The existing sewage treatment plants treat sewage lower to

the levels stipulated in MPCB standards. Creek water quality is not better than treated

sewage.

7. Solid Waste Management 7.1 Present Status

Solid waste collection is carried out in 81 zones through private contractors. As per

the guidelines of Honourable Supreme Court of March 1999 and Municipal Solid Waste

(Management & Handling) Rules September 2000, solid waste management system has

been reorganized. Accordingly, norms were formulated as 700 running meters road

sweeping and 500 running meters of drain cleaning per worker. NMMC introduced

mechanised sweepers for main roads in 2012-13.

NMMC has taken over Thane Belapur Industrial area of MIDC from November 2004

and is providing SWM services in MIDC areas. This has increased 4 zones making total

zones 85.

Domestic solid waste from house to house in NMMC area is collected and loaded in

refuse transportation vehicles mechanically by transportation contractors. Community bins

are provided at market places.

NMMC is collecting domestic solid waste (wet & dry) and transporting to Sanitary

landfill at Turbhe from NMMC area. The separation is not done at source & it is done at

sanitary landfill.

About 625 MT solid waste is collected per day on an average. These wastes

transported to sanitary landfill, weighed, separated into wet and dry components. Recyclable

waste are separated and recycled. Wet waste is used for production of Refuse Derived Fuel

(RDF) and compost. The rejects are disposed of into sanitary landfill at Turbhe. While

disposing solid waste, De-odorant is sprayed to minimize fly and odour nuisance. The

operation & management of sanitary landfill is given to private contractor on PPP basis. The

sanitary landfill is protected by constructing compound wall all around from stray dogs and

trespassers. Green belt is constructed and planted with various plants around land fill site.

IIIrd phases of sanitary landfill are covered with grass and methane is flared and burnt

to reduce “Green House’’ effect. Air Quality Monitoring Station is provided to monitor air

pollution from this Integrated solid waste Disposal facility at Turbe.

Leachate treatment plant is commissioned and treated water is reused for windrow

composting as cooling material. This is one of the environmental achievement.

NMMC has put up informative hoardings on segregation of dry garbage and

wet garbage at various places for guidance of citizen. The closure of Koperkhairne dumping

ground and sanitary landfill at Turbhe are ideal projects as per Municipal Solid Waste

(Management & Handling) Rules September 2000 and appreciated by visitor of World bank,

Foreign mission, Municipal Commissioners from various state and other visitors.


25

Hazardous Bio-medical wastes are collected from various hospitals and

dispensaries by private contractor and disposed of at Hazardous Waste Disposal facility at

Taloja.

7.2 Status of Environmental Quality Solid Waste Management

The sources of solid waste in NMMC area are domestic waste and vegetable market

waste. Sampling and analysis of solid waste was carried out during 2012-13 (Table 7.2.2 a).

It was found that the composition of the waste varies across NMMC. The major components

of the waste are papers, coconut shells, cloths and vegetable wastes. This indicates good

level of recycling. At some places more than 10 % of waste was plastic waste. This is

alarming and needs appropriate measures.

8.2 Status of Environmental Quality Hospital Waste Management

The composition of hospital wastes in NMMC area (Table 8.2.1) reveals that a

substantial portion contains solid wastes. This needs to be segregated. This will reduce

requirement of specialized system for handling of biomedical wastes.

Also percentage of discarded medicines is high portion in the waste. Hospitals should

be directed to take measures for reducing this waste.

For treatment and disposal of hospital wastes generated in NMMC area, NMMC

signed agreement with M/s. Mumbai Waste Management. The problem of Bio medical waste

is being solved with the help of private entrepreneur. Waste generated in the hospitals in

NMMC area is treated and disposed in the modern facilities installed by the operator. The

MWM treatment plant is situated at Taloja.

9. Roads and Transport

9.1 Present Status National Highway 4 (NH-4) passes through the NMMC area. Navi Mumbai is

connected by road and rail to Thane, Kalyan, Mumbai, JNPT, Uran and Panvel. The work of

Thane-Belapur railway and the construction of railway stations are complete, and rail link

started functioning from June 2005. Navi Mumbai is close to Sahar International and

Chhatrapati Shivaji domestic airport. A new international & domestic airport is planned in

Navi Mumbai.

There is a network of roads about 455.53 km in length in NMMC area. (Table 9.1.1).

There are footpaths, central dividers and pathways along major roads. NMMC has taken

over the roads in Thane Belapur industrial area of MIDC area on 25 th November 2004 The

length of roads in industrial of MIDC is 136 Km. NMMC shall improve and maintain the

roads, footpaths, drains and streetlights in this area.

NMMC has partly improved the roads in this area and balance work is under

progress.

Navi Mumbai has six rail corridors, 157 km railway system and an independent

mainline rail terminal connecting the city directly to other parts of the country. Vashi,

Sanpada, Juinagar, Nerul, Belapur, Turbhe, Koparkhairane, Ghansoli and Airoli in Navi

Mumbai are on Harbour line of the central railway.

The proposed trans-harbour link between Mumbai (Wadala) and Navi Mumbai (Ulwe)

is further expected to enhance the status of this city by forming yet another link with Mumbai.

MoEF has given clearance to the project. This link shall connect proposed international

airport to Mumbal directly.

Public transport system in Navi Mumbai comprises train, bus, autorikshaws and taxi.

NMMC has its own bus service. In addition the buses of BEST and Maharashtra State Road

Transport Corporation, KDMC and interstate private buses ply through Navi Mumbai. NMMC

Transport undertaking has 336 buses catering to 7146192 per month (Table 9.1.2). There

are over 2.36 lakh vehicles registered in NMMC area; (Table 9.1.3).

This has resulted in traffic problems in certain areas. NMMC has undertaken

programme for improvement of internal roads to reduce the problem by Constriction of

ROBs, underpasses, service roads & walkways, providing additional lane for left turn,

creating turning lane, additional parking space, multi-storey parking and signalised traffic to

decongest the traffic movement and speed breakers as per direction of court and conforming

to BSI standards. However, the major concern in traffic is increasing number of road

accidents and deaths due to accidents. (Table 9.1.4) NMMC conducted study of Palm Beach


35

road accidents through IIT and provided measures (lane markers, crash guards, reflectors,

sine boards, additional service road etc) to reduce the accidents.

Foot paths in NMMC Area

CIDCO while planning Navi Mumbai had provided foot paths within the city area.

Foot paths are important since they are used by pedestrians which form the large cross-

section of the society. Besides well maintained foot paths relieve traffic congestion problem

on the road thereby minimizing vehicular emission which is mainly responsible for

deterioration of air quality.

After handing over the area to NMMC, maintenance, repairs as well as providing

additional foot paths is being done by NMMC. NMMC has provided slopes to the footpath for

access to physically disabled persons.

9.2 Status of Environmental Quality Air Quality

Air is clean or unpolluted in areas where no development has taken place. A

chemical species foreign to the clean atmosphere is called a contaminant. A contaminant

that can cause adverse effect to the receptor (human being, animals, vegetation etc) and

which occurs in atmosphere in concentrations sufficiently high to cause the adverse effect is

called a pollutant.

Air quality is negatively affected by emissions from mobile and point sources; these

are directly linked to energy consumption, environmental policy, city density, and transport

by motor vehicles and concentration of industries.

The main environmental problems associated with air emissions are harm to human

health (eye irritation, pulmonary problems, etc) problems, the acidification and eutrophication

of water and soils, and damage to natural ecosystems, cultural heritage and crops. Often

these are trans-boundary effects, as pollutants in the air can travel a considerable distance

away from their sources. In addition, emissions from sources in urban areas can have a

significant local impact on human health.

In India, standards have been stipulated by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.

under Environment Protection Act 1986 for both sources of pollution (emission) and ambient

air quality. Industries are required to meet their obligations of controlling pollution under Air

(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. Motor Vehicles Rules 1989 require vehicles

to comply with emission norms and obtain pollution under control certificate.

Results of air quality monitoring carried out during 2012- 2013 (Table 9.2.1) reveal

that air pollutant levels in residential areas in NMMC are within the standards for sulphur


36

dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (Nox) and respirable suspended particulate matter

(RSPM),

Results of air quality monitoring carried out during 2012- 2013 (Table 9.2.4) reveal

that air pollutant levels at traffic junctions in NMMC are within the standards for sulphur

dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (Nox).

In order to assess the combined effect of various air pollutants air quality indices are

used. One type of indices has been used to assess air quality in NMMC area. Air quality

index AQI based on is based on respirable particulate matter, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen

dioxide reveals that air quality is fair. The AQI is computed as follows:

AQI (Based on TSPM) = 39.2 x {(RSPM/100) + (SO2/80) + (Nox/80)}^ 0.967

As per USEPA, the classes are as follows;

Table 9.2.2: Ambient Air Quality in NMMC Area: Summary

Range(AQI) Class Range(AQI) Class Range(AQI) Class O to 20 Excellent 41 to 60 Fair 81 to 100 Bad 21 to 40 Good 61 to 80 Poor More than 100 Dangerous


37

AQI for various nodes are presented in Table 9.2.3. It can be seen that air quality in

NMMC area is almost in fair condition with few exceptions. This may be due to mass work of

laying of water supply and sewer lines and concrete roads constructions

Noise Levels

Noise is defined as unwanted sound. The noise levels to which urban population is

exposed have been increasing at an alarming rate over the past several decades. This has

led to increase in number of complaints received by the public agencies. In India, the

Honourable Supreme Court had to give directions to the government in response to public

interest litigation.

Noise affects people in number of ways. It interferes with sleep, speech

communications, and tasks requiring concentration and co-ordination. It may also cause

hearing damages and other physiological problems. Ministry of Environment and Forests,

Government of India, under Environmental Protection Act, 1986, has stipulated day time and

night time limits on ambient noise levels in residential, industrial and sensitive areas.

(Annexure-VI).

Major sources of noise in urban areas are road traffic and industry. Noise levels in all

other parts of NMMC exceed standards. Noise was monitored at various residential locations

in NMMC area continuously for 8 hrs during 2012-13 (Table 9.2.5). Noise levels were also

monitored near traffic junctions continuously for 8 hrs (Table 9.2.6). It was found that noise

standards are violated both in residential areas and also at traffic junctions.

10. Trees and Gardens

10.1 Present Status

Gardens are termed as lungs of the city. There are 176 gardens covering an area of

712982 Lakh sq m areas in NMMC (Table 10.1.1). In the year 2012-2013, NMMC has

completed work of Wonder Park and redevelop 21 existing parks and proposed garden at

Morbe is being developed as theme based gardens/parks. NMMC also proposed

redevelopment of 30 existing parks. There are 67500 planted trees in NMMC area as on

2012-13 and same has been given on contact for maintenance for three years. NMMC also

provides tree samplings to the citizen for tree plantation. NMMC arranges various

informative programmes to emphasis the importance of tree plantation for public awareness.

NMMC is involving private sector as well as NGOs for garden development,

maintenance, tree plantation, traffic island beautification etc.

As per the requirements of Government of Maharashatra, Tree Authority has been

established for NMMC area on May 16, 2001. Experts in the area of tree plantation have

been nominated on the Tree Authority to continuously monitor the activities. Meetings of the

Authority are convened after an interval of 45 days. Special care is taken by the Authority to

stop illegal tree felling. It has been made obligatory to plant two trees for each tree cut in

unavoidable circumstances.

NMMC has carried out beautification of Traffic islands and development of few

gardens on BOT basis through private participation. The same policy is to be continued on

major scale this year.

10.2 Environmental Status

NMMC provides everything best in gardens but are not maintained. They are

replaced every year. Also gardens are not secured in night hence it is becoming free place

for undesirable activities. There is need for comprehensive O & M contract in this regard.

12. Environmental related facilities

12.1 Laboratory Quality monitoring of potable water, treated & untreated sewage, lakes water,

Nallahs, costal water and holding ponds is essential tasks to be done regularly in order to

safeguard the health of citizen of Navi Mumbai.

Quality of potable water is regularly checked to safeguard citizen from water borne

disease and whenever complaints are received about bad quality of water

It is obligatory to check quality of treated sewage every day before discharge into

surrounding water to safeguard water sources being polluted.

It is necessary to watch quality of coastal water due to ingress of water into NMMC

area as there are several other neighbouring corporations discharging treated and untreated

sewage in Thane creek. It is also necessary to watch the quality of water in holding ponds

for the same reasons.

Nallahs in NMMC area many times carries polluted water from industries in MIDC

area and whenever complaints are received. It becomes necessary to investigate the quality

of water by sampling and analysis to find the root reason for the pollution.

NMMC established Environmental laboratory in March 2005 to carry out

Environmental monitoring. It is equipped with necessary equipments, chemicals and

chemists to carry out the analysis of water, sewage, Nallah water & municipal solid waste

samples.

Environmental laboratory is also equipped with mobile air sampling and analysis

station to carry out air monitoring at traffic junctions.

NMMC has future plans for expansion of this laboratory so that it shall act as regional

analytical centre. NMMC shall also obtain authorisation from MOEF.

Environmental laboratory is presently carrying out analysis of potable water samples,

quality check of treated sewage, Nallahs, holding ponds etc. It is also carrying out air

monitoring at several locations.

Environmental laboratory received ISO 9001-2008 Quality Certificate in 2012-13.

12.2 Street lights

Street lighting is one of the essential public service that is being provided by NMMC

within NMMC jurisdiction. Electricity is outsourced from Maharashtra State Electricity Board

electric supply is satisfactory. NMMC is maintaining the street lighting through experienced

O & M contractors. NMMC provided street lighting through 38,978 fittings and 28,224 poles

and 276 highmast in NMMC area. NMMC has replaced 3336 fittings in 2012-13. NMMC

installed 47 High masts in major squares in 2012-13. Lux intensity of streetlight is maintained

as per type of road and traffic density according to IS and monitored regularly. NMMC has

initiated energy saving scheme on BOT basis for street lighting. It has saved 90 lakhs kwh

units of electricity and Rs 408.00 lakhs of NMMC.

Work in progress :- 1. Shifting work of Low tension overhead lines to underground of M.S.E.D.C.L. is under

implementation.

2. Installation of GPRS based system for street lights is 100% completed. Benefits of

this system is the control and failure of street light is informed to concern Deputy &

Junior Engineer, Wireman by SMS.

3. Solar base street lights are installed at Honourable Mayor & Honourable

Commissioner residence due to which savings in electricity of 20000 units, i.e. Rs.

0.9 Lac is presumed

Proposed Work :-

1. Construction of solar park at Morbe.

2. Installation of solar energy based system at N.M.M.C. head office, F.R.U. Hospital

Vashi, Vishnudas Bhave auditorium.

12.3 Education

Navi Mumbai, strategically located on the proposed Mumbai-Pune `Knowledge

Corridor’, has been receiving a lot of thrust with respect to Information Technology. The

Government of Maharashtra has plans drawn up to develop Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and

Pune as high tech habitats for IT Industry.

A strong educational base is the most important pillar on which a individual can build

a career. A liberal spread of quality educational institutes ensures the availability of learning

and gaining knowledge to one and all. Navi Mumbai has been built up with a strong Social


46

Infrastructure. It has 10 Engineering Colleges and 4 Medical Colleges, 108 reputed schools

offering high standard education. The schools and colleges in Navi Mumbai are equipped

with qualified and experienced faculty. Infrastructures for social activities have proved

conducive to attract children from even lower income categories.

Navi Mumbai has excellent educational facilities. All kinds of educational institutes

are there in Navi Mumbai: kindergardens, schools – both primary and secondary, junior

colleges, ITI and Diploma Colleges, Arts, Commerce and Science Colleges, Engineering and

Medical Colleges, Management institutes etc. There are 247 primary schools, 108

secondary schools and 37 colleges in NMMC area (Table 12.3.1).

12.4 Crematoriums NMMC has provided crematoriums in each node. 20 numbers of the crematoriums

are declared as the ‘Central Crematoriums’. At Nerul and Vashi there are provisions of all

the facilities in crematorium for all the religions. (Table 12.4.1)

NMMC proposed improvement of Belapur, Nerul, Sanpada, Darave, Diwale, Juipada,

and Pawne Goan Crematoriums in 2012-13.

12.5 Fire-fighting

NMMC has its own fire fighting cell. There are fire fighting stations at CBD Belapur,

,Nerul, Vashi, and Airoli (Table 12.5.1). NMMC has set up emergency centre at Khairane

MIDC area for Thane Belapur industrial area.

12.6 Slum Improvement

Navi Mumbai has been developed as a planned city. As a result the population

residing in slum areas is much less than the other urban areas of India. However, the land

acquired for development of Navi Mumbai earlier had many villages. Also, in order to meet

requirement of labour in construction, industry, domestic servants, trade and commerce,

an employment seeking population has migrated to Navi Mumbai. Due to low income levels,

such population resides in slum areas. While the percentage of population residing in slum

areas is insignificant (less than 2 percent) in developed zones like CBD-Belapur, Nerul,

Vashi, Koparkhairane and Airoli, Over 80 % population in Ghansoli and Digha areas resides

in slums. (Table 12.6.1)

NMMC has been implementing slum improvement programme. As a part of this

programme water supply, public toilets, drainage, roads and street light facilities are

provided in slum areas.

Actions Taken / Proposed by NMMC for Environmental Projects


ACE Rehabilitation slum dwellers -SRA project Under Implementation

12.7 Entertainment NMMC has commenced Bharatratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Memorial,

admeasuring area of 5500 sqm at Airoli. This shall include Art gallery, Library, Amphitheatre,

Prayer Hall, Meeting hall and Musium There are multiplexes, cinema halls, Vishnudas Bhave

Natyagriha (Theatre), 24 lakes, 176 gardens, 400 hotels/eating places, 5 swimming pools in

NMMC area. A regional park is proposed at Advali-Bhutwali. CIDCO is planning to establish

five star hotels.

NMMC completed pictorial biography presentation of Shree Shivaji Maharaj at Shivaji

Chowk, Vashi.

12.8 Public Grievances Redressal and Information Mechanism

Public disclosure and participation forms an integral part of community management.

While many activities are undertaken by the municipal bodies for public welfare, common

man is unaware of the same. On the other hand a general feeling may develop in the public

that the system has apathy for common man. To eliminate these problems and to

commemorate 10th anniversary of NMMC, under guidance of Municipal Commissioner a

publication titled “Stat Sampark” (Constant Touch) has been started by NMMC from January

1, 2002. NMMC is also implementing Rajiv Gandhi Gatimanata Abhiyan for making NMMC

administration people oriented.

Regional offices of health department of NMMC organize awareness campaigns on

health education, family welfare, immunization programmes, and epidemics. Advertisements

are given in local newspapers for increasing awareness during epidemics.

The area now developed as Navi Mumbai, was earlier marshy land. Even today it

has long coastline and vast marshy area. Such places are ideal breeding ground for

mosquitoes. This may lead to spread of malaria, especially during monsoon. NMMC has

erected 10 hoardings providing information on malaria. NMMC also organized 30 street-

plays and distributed over 10,000 handbills. NMMC has established mosquito abatement

committee. .NMMC shall be providing facilities like Yoga classes, footpath, and seats for

senior citizen

NMMC has also established “Help Line” to address and initiate actions to comply the

necessary grievances.

NMMC has established Citizen Facility Centre. This is one window system. This


48

centre provides various permissions, Nocs, certificate water/sewerage connection,

information on taxes/cess/water bills, NMMC schemes (total 41 permissions) etc within

stipulated time.

NMMC also publishes in local newspaper the mobile telephone numbers of area

water supply officers for complaints and quick redressal regarding water supply services

NMMC has started webpage in 2003 (www.nmmconline.com). The webpage

provides information on profile of NMMC, different services offered by NMMC, and different

resources available in NMMC. It is possible register complaints on web page and obtains

information on cess, water bills, property tax of citizen and makes the payment through e-

payment.

NMMC has provided following social amenities for the benefit of citizen

• Welfare Centres -46

• Gymnasium – 24

• Study room/Library –08

• Stage/grounds – 24

• 5000 seat stadium commenced at Belapur during 2009-10.

13. Summary of Environmental Status in NMMC Area

13.1 Approach The information on environmental parameters is often too complex and non-

comprehendible to non-environmental professionals. The problem is further complicated as

environment covers broad spectrum of areas from air quality to biomedical waste

management. The goal of assessing status of environment is planning for sustainable

development by ensuring that quality of life of the people is maintained and, if possible,

improved while maintaining quality of environment.

The findings of present environmental assessment are discussed in details in the

earlier sections and same have been used in this section for computations of indicators. The

basis has been maintained same to assess the change in environmental status in NMMC

area for the current year.

13.2 Methodology

Three indicators have been used in the present assessment:

• Environmental Quality Index (EQI);

• Urban Infrastructure Index (UII); and

• Quality of Life Index (QOLI).

For computation of EQI, ambient air quality (in residential areas & traffic junctions),

noise levels in residential areas & traffic junctions), quality of drinking water, quality of

surface water, quality of ground water, adequacy of sewage treatment, adequacy of solid

waste treatment, and adequacy of biomedical waste treatment are used as parameters.

While air quality, noise levels and drinking water quality affects human health both in short

term as also in long-term, impact of changes in other parameters are comparatively less

important in short-term. Hence, while computing EQI following procedure has been used:

I. Out of total score of 100, scores have been assigned to individual parameter based

on importance. This is termed as Parameter Importance Unit (PIU).

II. For assessing status of individual parameter, a scale has been developed by

assigning zero score to totally un-acceptable parameter measurement and 1 score

to desired parameter measurement. This is termed as Parameter Environmental

Quality (PEQ). For various measurements of parameter in NMMC, PEQ has been

estimated based on data collected for ESR, and values have been averaged to

estimate overall PEQ for NMMC area.

III. Environmental Quality Index (EQI) for an individual parameter has been worked out

by multiplying PEQ and PIU.


50

IV. Values of EQI for all parameters have been added to compute EQI.

V. Using this method, if values of all parameters are as desired ones the value of EQI

will be 100.

For assessing UII, population density, water supply system, sewerage system and

storm water collection system, solid waste collection system, slum development, health

facility, educational facility, public transport, employment opportunity, parks & gardens, roads

network, entertainment facilities, and public grievance redressal mechanism have been used

as parameters. As assessment of infrastructure facility is more a subjective judgement than

quantitative evaluation, a seven-point scale has been used for evaluation of UII for individual

parameters as follows:

a) Very Poor : 0.0

b) Poor : 0.20

c) Satisfactory : 0.40

d) Good : 0.60

e) Very good : 0.80

f) Excellent : 0.90

g) Outstanding : 1.00

Values of UII for individual parameters have then been converted into percentage for

easy comprehension. Quality of Life Index has been computed as average of EQI and UII.

13.3 Estimation of Environmental Quality Index

The Importance assigned to various parameters selected for computing EQI and

scale used for assessing the present status is presented in Table 13.3.1. PEQ for individual

parameters have been computed based on data collected for ESR. Overall EQI is

summarised in Table 13.3.2 while details of computation are presented in Table 13.3.3. EQI

computed for various nodes of NMMC and it has been found out that present EQI in NMMC

area is 70.02%.

13.4 Estimation of Urban Infrastructure Index

In the case of urban infrastructure, mere numbers may be misleading (e.g. average

per capita water supply may be satisfactory but due to uneven distribution satisfaction level

may be low). Hence, for computing UII subjective assessment has been used. Results of

computation are presented in Table 13.4.1. It has been found out that present UII in NMMC

area is 78.94 %.


51

Estimation of QOL

Quality of environment and availability of infrastructure facilities together decide

quality of life. As the impact of these considerations is synergistic, equal importance needs

to be given to both. Hence, QOL has been computed as average of EQI and UII. Present

QOL Index for NMMC area has been worked out as 74.48 %.

Environmental Challenges

And

Agenda for Action`

Premise

A sustainable community uses its resources to meet current needs while ensuring

that adequate resources are available for future generations. It seeks improved public health

and a better quality of life for all its residents by limiting waste, preventing pollution,

maximizing conservation, promoting efficiency, and developing local resources to revitalize

the local economy.

"Sustainable communities are defined as towns and cities that have taken steps

to remain healthy over the long term. Sustainable communities have a strong sense of

place. They have a vision that is embraced and actively promoted by all of the key

sectors of society, including businesses, disadvantaged groups, environmentalists, civic

associations, government agencies, and religious organizations. They are places that

build on their assets and dare to be innovative. These communities value healthy

ecosystems, use resources efficiently, and actively seek to retain and enhance a locally

based economy. There is a pervasive volunteer spirit that is rewarded by concrete

results. Partnerships between and among government, the business sector, and non-

profit organizations are common. Public debate in these communities is engaging,

inclusive, and constructive. Unlike traditional community development approaches,

sustainability strategies emphasize: the whole community (instead of just disadvantaged

neighbourhoods); ecosystem protection; meaningful and broad-based citizen

participation; and economic self-reliance." (Institute for Sustainable Communities:

http://www.iscvt.org)

The review of history of environmental management world over provides following as

the basis for devising environmental action plans for metropolitan areas:Monitoring is a

fundamental aspect of environmental management at both policy and programme levels;

Public consultation and participation is an essential element of environmental

management. The people affected by a policy or programme have the right to

know, to understand the benefits and disadvantages, and to express their views

on the environmental change the policy and programme may bring;

Education is a fundamental component of environmental management;

Development and environmental quality are indivisible and should pursued as

common objectives;


85

Equity between generations, the concept that ecosystem productivity and

environmental quality must be passed on, are fundamental premises of

environmental management;

The central and undeviating objective of environmental management must be the

preservation of the ecosystems upon which all life depends; and

Environmental management is as much about restoration as management.

Agenda for Action

With the backdrop of present state of environment, environmental challenges

( ) and globally evolving thinking on environmental management agenda for action

( ) for NMMC was proposed in ESR 2012-13. The same is reviewed as follows. NMMC

has started action on some issues ( ) while some issues have been solved (√).

A-1:Reduction of Noise Pollution

Challenge

Noise pollution is a serious threat to the quality of environment. Noise is over-

loud or disturbing sound. Sound levels are measured in decibels (dB). It is a unit for

expressing the relative intensity of sound. Noise pollution may come from loudspeakers,

factories, and aeroplanes, moving trains, construction activity or even a radio. Noise

level of 80 decibels or more for more than 8 hours a day increases tension and changes

in breathing patterns. Continued exposure to high levels of noise results in fatigue,

hearing loss or even total loss of hearing, changes in blood circulation, changes in

breathing, etc. Noise pollution above 120 decibels can cause many adverse biochemical

changes. Cholesterol levels in the blood and white cell counts increase, besides causing

hypertension. With increase in traffic, noise levels would increase in future.

Agenda for Action

Planting trees with high foliage density along roads to reduce impact of noise

could be undertaken; ( )

Avoiding/minimizing use of loud speakers, which have become a part of festivals,

weddings and prayers; ( )

Writing slogans for education of public regarding impacts of noise on health; ( )

Installing decibel metres for monitoring noise levels along highway and other

major roads, and also near sensitive localities like schools and hospitals; ( )

Declaring more silence zones; and( )

Banning blowing of horns, especially at traffic junctions. ( )


86

Installation of Sound barriers. ( )

Introduction of Automatic signalling system. ( )

Introduction of Skywalk & ROBs. ( )

A-2:Solid Waste Management

Challenge

Solid waste continues to receive a great deal of media attention as the available

space to dispose of household garbage and municipal solid waste gets exhausted.

Disposal of solid waste on land contaminates ground water, soil, surface water, and air.

Technological solutions comprise use of liners and Leachate treatment systems to

prevent environmental degradation.

Agenda for Action

Promoting waste segregation at source (compostable / non-compostable, glass,

plastic, paper etc); ( )

Increasing public awareness and education for waste minimization in purchasing,

use and disposal of consumer products. Such campaigns may highlight use of

simple solutions such as purchasing goods with less packaging, maintaining and

repairing household appliances, and carrying reusable shopping bags instead of

plastic bags; ( )

Composting and/or biomethanation of solid waste (solid waste in Navi Mumbai

contains over 35 % organic wastes); and( )

Providing technical support for installation of vermi-composting plants at housing

complexes/society level. Involving school children in such programmes. ( )

Closure of existing dumping ground. ( )

Carbon Credit from Sanitary landfill. ( )

Construction of Sanitary landfill. ( )

Integrated Solid Waste Disposal facility consisting of SLF, Closure, Carbon Credit, Leachate

treatment Plant and tree belt. ( )

Introduction of mechanicl sweepers and washing of streets( )


87

A-3:Restoration of Stone Quarries and Protection of Hills

Challenge

Gravel and stone quarry operations result in extensive manipulation of the

landscape and of the ecosystems indigenous to their sites. Quarrying results in

conditions favourable for accelerated erosion because the topsoil environment required

for establishment of stabilizing vegetation is eliminated. Once quarry resources are

exhausted or operations cease, the landscape has often been degraded to an extent that

recolonization by pre-disturbance communities is difficult, if not impossible. Such

degraded lands lead to safety, ecology, and aesthetics-related concerns. The intrinsic

legacy of quarrying is the exposure of bare soil and underlying strata which vary in

stability, do not support vegetation, and which contrast sharply with adjacent

undisturbed landscape features. There are over 200 quarries in NMMC area (Nerul 106,

Turbhe 92, Koparkhairane 8, Digha 3). In view of land degradation due to stone

quarrying in NMMC, restoration of these areas is a challenge for NMMC.

Agenda for Action

Assessing feasibility of using abandoned quarries for rainwater harvesting;

Planting trees for restoration of land under abandoned quarries

Quarries in operation to implement better handling operational facilities with

pollution control facilities.

Abandoned quarries can be restored by sanitary land filling with innocuous

inorganic wastes, especially construction debris by adopting suitable slopes from

stability angle and with due compaction. ( )

A-4:Protection of Coastal Areas

Challenge

The coast is the interface between the land and sea. The beaches and inter-tidal

zones are areas where the transition from land to sea, or sea to land takes place.

Coastal zones are among the richest and biologically most productive areas. Mangroves

found in coastal areas play a crucial role in the marine ecosystem. The major ecological

role of mangroves is the stabilization of the shoreline and prevention of shore erosion.

The dense network of prop roots, pneumatophores and stilt roots not only give

mechanical support to the plant, but also trap the sediments. The rate of sedimentation

is generally much higher in these estuaries lined with mangroves.

The second important ecological role of the mangroves is the detritus, which help

in feeding and providing breeding and nursery grounds for the juveniles of many

commercially important shrimps and fishes. Major primary production in the mangrove


88

ecosystem is from the trees. However, only a fraction of this production is consumed by

herbivores. The remainder enters the mangrove water as litter fall. The decomposition of

this litter fall produces detritus, which in turn is colonized by heterotrophic

microorganisms, thus enhancing its nutritive value. The detritus, besides forming a food

source for suspension and deposit feeders, is also consumed by the juveniles of a variety

of bivalves, shrimps and fishes, which migrate into the mangrove environments in their

life cycle for better feeding and protection. There is a direct correlation between the

extent of mangrove forests along a coastline and the fishery as well as shrimp catches

from the coastal waters adjoining the mangroves, thus demonstrating the importance of

mangroves for sustaining coastal fisheries. The length of coastline in NMMC is over 22

km. There are excellent mangrove areas along the coastline particularly near Palm Beach

Marg, Nerul, Koparkhairne areas and these face threat of removal due to disposal of

waste and also abuse of land for unauthorised uses by fishermen and builders. Mangrove

area is about approximately 50,000 sq.m including mud flats.

Agenda for Action

Forming watch committee with participation of experts as also people staying

along coastline to monitor strict enforcement of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ)

notification issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Environment and

Forests (MoEF); and( )

Drawing attention of the State Level Coastal Management Authority to offences

committed in violation of legal provisions. ( )

A-5:Water Conservation

Challenge

The nation's ground water resources are extremely valuable. Even more than

surface waters, ground water resources are often taken for granted because they are not

visible. Rainfall and surface water which had seeped into the earth's crust over many

years formed underground reservoirs. The apparent abundance of water is deceptive and

we tend to take it for granted. We tend to abuse and overuse it. This leads to water

scarcity, for which the reasons are:

1. Increasing demand for water due to rapid increase in population; (√)

2. Poor recharge of ground water resources due to deforestation and overgrazing

which result in soil erosion and inability of the soil to permit water infiltration;

and( )

3. Siltation of bodies of water due to denudation of the vegetational cover in the hills

and catchment areas.


89

Agenda for Action

Educating citizens to emphasize that water should not be wasted, leaky taps must

be repaired and taps closed when not in use; ( )

Encouraging collection and storage of rain water for domestic non-consumptive

purposes; ( )

Leak detection and preventive maintenance of water distribution systems; ( )

Maintenance of overhead storage tanks in good condition; ( ))

Desiltation of tanks regularly during the summer months; ( )

Afforestation of barren, hilly slopes on a warfooting;

Terrace cultivation of hilly slopes to prevent water run-off;

Contour ploughing and planting of grasses and trees to check run-off water and

increase the soil's capacity to retain moisture;

Harvesting rainwater using recharge pits, recharge trenches, abandoned dug

wells, abandoned hand pumps, recharge wells, recharge shafts, percolation

ponds, check dams, nalla bunds, as also roof top rainwater harvesting. ( )

A-6:Water Quality Management

Challenge

Like clean air, fresh water is also becoming a scarcity in most of the urban areas.

Major sources of water pollution are domestic sewage and industrial effluents. Human

excreta contains 400 different species of bacteria and viruses. Even well-treated sewage

contains pathogenic bacteria and virus, unless properly chlorinated before discharging

into any water course. Sewage is a major contributor to water-borne diseases and

affects the health of people and other organisms in the environment in many ways.

Industrial effluents add large amount of organic wastes and toxic pollutants to water

bodies. Most of surface water bodies in NMMC area are already highly polluted.

Improvement of surface water quality is a significant challenge to NMMC.

Water in which maximum permissible concentration of any single or more

constituents is in excess is unfit for drinking and human health. There are definite

tolerance levels for water used for different activities such as drinking, bathing, irrigation

and industrial purposes. Depending on its use, there are different physico-chemical and

bacteriological standards for water. About 5 % drinking water samples in year, with

more percentage in summer months, in some parts of NMMC, do not conform to drinking

water standards. This results in higher level of mortality, loss of mandays, and also may

lead to epidemics. Improvement of drinking water quality and education of public for

reduction of water borne diseases is a challenge to NMMC.


90

Agenda for Action

Augmenting and/or modifying sewage treatment plants; ( )

Improving operation and maintenance as also performance monitoring of STPS;

(√)

Co-ordinating with Maharashtra Pollution Control Board for control of industrial

effluents; ( )

Diverting wastewater entering surface water bodies without treatment to the

STPs; ( )

Assessing adequacy of chlorination systems and improving the same wherever

necessary; installation of additional chlorinators and(√)

Undertaking campaign to advise citizens on practising use of household water

purification measures such as use of clean vessels to store water, filtration of

water through a clean, white cloth before storing, use of inexpensive traditional

3-pot filters, boiling of water before drinking, and if possible use of modern water

filtering equipment capable of removing bacteria. (√)

Recycle and reuse of treated sewage( )

A-7:Hazardous Waste Management

Challenge

Sophisticated technologies produce consumer goods ranging from cars to paints.

Many of these processes generate hazardous wastes of one sort or another. Hazardous

wastes have characteristics that make them potentially dangerous. Hazardous wastes

include wastes that contain chemicals which are corrosive, flammable, reactive, or toxic.

Hazardous wastes may be by-products of manufacturing processes or discarded

products, such as household cleaning fluids, paints, and batteries. Once generated,

hazardous wastes require proper storage, treatment, and disposal. Currently operating

industries that produce hazardous wastes are regulated by the provisions of the

Hazardous Waste Rules, 1989, of the Ministry of Environment and Forests. One of the

requirements of these rules is the cradle-to-grave reporting system that tracks

hazardous wastes from the factory through transportation, treatment, and disposal.

NMMC is not directly responsible for hazardous waste management. However,

indiscriminate storage, transport and /or disposal of hazardous waste would pose threat

to residents of NMMC area. Hence, NMMC needs to look in to hazardous waste

management issue.

Agenda for Action

Encouraging common hazardous waste management facilities for industries

located in Navi Mumbai; (√)

Encouraging industries to adopt better manufacturing processes, train workers to

reduce quantities of hazardous waste generation, and substitute hazardous

ingredients with non-hazardous or less hazardous ingredients; and( )

Playing a catalytic role in organising seminars, workshops and training

programmes for industrial waste minimisation. ( )

A-8:Restoration and Beautification of Lakes

Challenge

Aquatic ecosystems perform numerous valuable environmental functions such as

recycling of nutrients, purify water, recharge ground water, augment and maintain

stream flow, and provide habitat for wide variety of flora and fauna and recreation for

people. Various anthropogenic activities alter the physical, chemical and biological

processes within aquatic ecosystems. Restoration means returning an ecosystem to a

close approximation of its condition prior to disturbance. This ensures that the

ecosystem structure and function are recreated or restored, and that natural dynamic

ecosystem processes operate effectively again. The most widespread problems facing

lakes is hydrologic and physical changes and siltation from catchment activities resulting

in spatial decline. There are 37 lakes in NMMC area. These lakes need restoration and

beautification for maintenance of aquatic ecology and improving quality of environment.

Agenda for Action

Identifying sources of pollution of the lakes; ( )

Restoring physical, chemical and biological integrity of lakes by controlling

nonpoint source of pollution; ( )

Desiltation of lakes; ( )

Development of plans for watershed restoration through collaboration among

scientists, economists, managers, policy makers and local people;

Restoration of all types of habitats with priority to the habitats of endangered

species; and

Beautification of lakes with involvement of private sector. ( )

A-9:Promotion of Use of Renewable Energy

A Challenge

In the past century, it has been seen that the consumption of non-renewable

sources of energy has caused more environmental damage than any other human

activity. Electricity generated from fossil fuels such as coal and crude oil has led to high

concentrations of harmful gases in the atmosphere. This has in turn led to many

problems being faced today such as ozone depletion and global warming. Hence,

alternative sources of energy have become very important and relevant to today’s world.

These sources, such as the sun and wind, can never be exhausted and therefore are

called renewable. They cause less emission and are available locally. Their use can, to a

large extent, reduce chemical, radioactive, and thermal pollution. They stand out as a

viable source of clean and limitless energy. These are also known as non-conventional

sources of energy. Most of the renewable sources of energy are fairly non-polluting and

considered clean though biomass, a renewable source, is a major polluter indoors.

A host of fiscal incentives and facilities are available to both manufacturers and

users of renewable energy systems, which include:

100% accelerated depreciation for tax purposes in the first year of the installation

of projects/systems;

No excise duty on manufacture of most of the finished products. Low import

tariffs for capital equipment and most of the materials and components;

Soft loans to manufacturers and users for commercial and near commercial

technologies;

Financial Incentives/Subsidies for devices with high initial cost;

Encouragement to NGOs and small entrepreneurs; and

Allotment of land on long term basis at token lease rent and supply of garbage

free of cost at project site by State Governments, in respect of projects on energy

recovery from municipal waste.

NMMC is not generator of power. However, NMMC can contribute to reduction in

power demand from conventional sources of energy.

Agenda for Action

Conducting energy audit of NMMC buildings/plants; ( )

Installation of solar water heaters for government buildings; ( )

Installation of photovoltaic systems for garden and street lighting; ( )

Replacement of incandescent lameps with compact fluorescent lamps in

government buildings/street lights; ( )


93

Providing technical guidance for energy conserving building design;

Encouraging industries to undertake energy audits; and

Undertaking energy conservation awareness campaigns especially at schools.

A-10:Pollution Prevention in NMMC Area

Challenge

One of the most encouraging environmental development of recent years is the

trend toward preventing -- and not just treating --pollution. Pollution prevention involves

waste minimisation -- recycling what we used to throw away or not generating wastes in

the first place. Many companies now are cleaning up solvents for re-use or changing the

industrial process to more efficiently use raw materials. Likewise, scientists are

developing new technologies every year to eliminate or greatly reduce our dependence

on toxic substances. The same basic pollution prevention ideas can be used in the home.

Pollution prevention requires bringing out change in attitude towards life. It requires

participation of regulatory agencies, industries, consumers, and even housewives.

Promotion pollution prevention (P3) in NMMC area can be a broader goal for NMMC.

Agenda for Action

Conducting audit of NMMC departments for identifying opportunities of pollution

prevention;

Encouraging industries to adopt pollution prevention technologies;

Encouraging local colleges and institutions for organising awareness campaigns

for pollution prevention.
