<p style="text-align: justify;">Earlier, the industry had also applied for ‘Consents to Operate’ under the Water Act 1974 and Air Act, 1981 for Dyeing of Polyester Fabric @ 11 Tonne/day with discharge of its treated trade effluent @ 220 KLD onto land for plantation & domestic effluent @ 0.9 KLD onto land for plantation after septic tank along with 01 boiler of capacity 03 TPH & 01 DG set of 62.5 KVA. The said applications of the industry were returned as per the directions of the Competent Authority due to the reason that production figures was not consummate with the discharge of effluent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, the industry has again applied for fresh ‘Consents to Operate’ under the Water Act 1974 and Air Act, 1981 with revised production & effluent quantity for Dyeing of Polyester Fabric @ 4 Tonne/day with discharge of its treated trade effluent @ 100 KLD onto land for plantation & domestic effluent @ 0.9 KLD onto land for plantation with 01 boiler of capacity 03 TPH & 01 DG set of 62.5 KVA. The industry had already deposited consent fee, which is adequate upto 31.03.2029 under both acts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The industry was already visited by the officer of RO on 17.02.2023 and it was observed as under:</p>

The machinery was not in operation and there was no raw material. As per study done by the GNE, in such type of units the effluent generation can be around 160 KLD in 24 hours. However, the industry has provided the plantation in an area around 1.4 Acre, hence, the plantation area is adequate for the disposal of treated trade effluent around 100 KLD. The soil seems Sandy in nature.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><!-- [if !supportLists]-->5. <!--[endif]-->The unit closed soakage pit & installed septic tank for disposal onto land for plantation.</p>
