However the residue of the past burning of textile waste / residue was observed at site. During visit, effluent samples of the industry were collected from the final outlet of ETP. As per the analysis report, various parameters were found beyond the prescribed limits of the Board.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Accordingly, directions u/s 33-A of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act 1974 and u/s 31-A of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 were issued to the industry for its closure.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The directions u/s 33-A of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 & u/s 31-A of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 also issued to PSPCL authorities to restore electric connection of the industry temporarily for six months i.e. 11.05.2022.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thereafter, the industry had applied for consent to operate under Water Act, 1974 & Air Act, 1981 for washing of cloth @ 500 Kgs/day with discharge of trade effluent @ 100 KLD & domestic effluent @ 0.5 KLD into conveyance system of CETP 50 MLD alongwith. The said applications of the industry were returned as per the directions of the Competent Authority due to the reason that production figures had not consummate with the discharge of effluent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now the industry has applied for consent to operate under Water Act, 1974 & Air Act, 1981 for washing of cloth @ 4.8 MTPD with discharge of trade effluent @ 100 KLD & domestic effluent @ 0.5 KLD into conveyance system of CETP 50 MLD. The industry has deposited consent fee, which is adequate upto 30.06.2024 under both acts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The industry was already visited by officers of RO on 31.01.2023 and it was observed that:-</p>

The representative in this regard clarified that during GNE visit industry had also give the detail of proposed 6 chambers of soft flow to be installed by the industry. Hence, at present unit has only 04 chambers of soft flow and one winch machines. The winch machine is already sealed by the Board, hence effluent generation from the unit as per GNE calculations will be 4 X 20 KLD = 80 KLD. The industry has granted 200 KLD shares on 22.07.2022 of CETP, hence the discharge of the industry is within the share allotted to it.</p>
