<p style="text-align: justify;">It is intimated that the project proponent has proposed to establish a small scale red category dyeing unit. Earlier the project proponent had applied for obtaining fresh consent to establish (NOC) under Water Act, 1974 & Air Act, 1981 for the production of fabric dyeing @ 5.0 T/day with discharge of trade effluent @ 400.0 KLD into CETP and domestic effluent @ 3.5 KLD onto land for plantation on 04.04.2022.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The industry was given personal hearing before SEE, ZO-II, Ludhiana on 24.05.2022, wherein it was decided that:-</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><!-- [if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->The industry shall not carry out any construction activity and install machinery without obtaining NOC of the Board.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In compliance of the above said decisions the application of the industry was returned on 25.05.2022.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thereafter the project proponent had again applied for obtaining fresh consent to establish (NOC) under Water Act, 1974 & Air Act, 1981.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The CETP of capacity 15 MLD situated at Bahadur Ke Road, Ludhiana is already not achieving the prescribed standards. It was decided by the Competent Authority of the Board that the Board shall not consider to allow new industry to set up & discharge additional load into CETP.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Accordingly the industry was issued show cause notice for refusal of ‘consent to establish’/NOC under the Water Act, 1974 and Air Act, 1981 with the opportunity to submit the reply within 03 days vide no. 7110 dated 22.11.2022.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In reply of the SCN, the industry had submitted online reply vide its letter dated 30.11.2022 stating that, “Our industry shall carry out the dyeing of polyester & PC fabrics only. We shall not carry out the dyeing of cotton fabric inside our industrial unit. Polyester/PC garments generate less pollutant in the effluent as compared to the cotton. Further we shall also install an equalization tank inside the unit to equalize the effluent for the dilution of dyeing effluent discharge as well as washing batch discharge before discharging our effluent into the sewer of CETP. The equalization/mixing of dyeing batch and washing batch shall reduce the concentration of pollutants in the effluent &shall not cause the extra load on the CETP. It is further submitted that the SPV has also installed DAF system at the CETP for improving the quality of treated water & SPV is further doing efforts for the betterment of CETP. It is also requested that we shall comply with the CETP/inlet standards of untreated effluent if PPCB prescribes such standard in future.” </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Now the project proponent has again applied for obtaining fresh consent to establish (NOC) under Water Act, 1974 & Air Act, 1981.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The CETP of capacity 15 MLD situated at Bahadur Ke Road, Ludhiana is already not achieving the prescribed standards.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In view of above, it is recommended that the Regional Office be directed to return the application or the application may be refused, please.</p>
