The project proponent has not submitted the proposal of the adequate scientific mode of disposal to handle the wastewater to be generated from the project like the availability of adequate land for utilizing treated effluents for plantation or to adopt other environmentally sound effluent disposal arrangements. Moreover, project proponent has submitted a proposal, same is illegal as this practice is not legally tenable as per the policy of the Board. Further, project proponent namely N K Sharma Enterprises has to install STP for its own projects. The project proponent is not complying with the provisions of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, willfully causing water and air pollution in the vicinity, thus, violating the provisions of Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 intentionally and deliberately.
