It is submitted that earlier the project proponent was granted Consent to Establish (NOC) under the provisions of Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 vide no. CTE/Fresh/SAS/2023/21035998 dated 11.04.2023 having validity upto 01.02.2025 for Residential township project in total area of29.3 acre area, consisting of 140 individualplots, 140 plots for independent floors to bedeveloped by third party) and 55 plots forCommercial SCOs as components and disposal of treated wastewater @ 189 KLD shall bereused for flushing purpose by providingdual plumbing system in the project.Remaining treated wastewater shall beutilized for irrigation in green area (2.34acre) and plantation area (2.24 acres as per Karnal Technology) with subject to suitable conditions mentioned therein.
However, as per the approved site plan and due to some objections in RERA the project proponent has applied for revised CTE from the Board. The total plot area remains the same as earlier, however no. of plots have been decreased from 280 to 279, leading to slight decrease in the pollution load of the project.
The project proponent has applied for fresh Consent to Establish (NOC) from pollution angle under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 for 279 plots and 55 commercial plots, alongwith requisite documents and fees.
The project proponent has deposited fees of Rs. 1,44,000/- vide R. no. 451743198dated 11.01.2024. The fee deposited by the project proponent is adequate for three years, against the total proposed cost of the project Rs. 48.40 Cr.
The project proponent has submitted its change of land use from DTP, SAS Nagar vide Memo no. 7089 dated 18/11/2021 for developing affordable residential plotted colony in an area of 29.3 acre by M/s SS Developers at village Chapar Chiri Kalan (H.B. No. 195), Teh& Distt. SAS Nagar.
There is slight decrease of 1 KLD in the wastewater generation from the residential colony will be about 462 KLD, which will be treated through the proposed STP of capacity 500 KLD based on MBBR technology. Out of 462 KLD, the treated effluent @ 189 KLD shall be utilized for flushing purpose, 51 KLD shall be utilized for green area (i.e. 2.34 acre) and remaining 222 KLD shall be discharge onto land for plantation area developed in 15 mtr green buffer zone marked on the approved layout plan. The total area under 15 mtr of green buffer zone is about 2.24 acre, which is adequate for the disposal of domestic treated water.
As observed during visit dated 03.02.2024 site is an empty plot and the proposed site is located back side of industrial area phase-8, opposite to M/s Posh City (Residential Project). No demarcation or development of the site has been carried out.
There is no change in the proposed plot and the area remains the same. Further, as per the earlier visit dated 24.02.2023, the site is complying with prescribed siting guidelines for such projects, except CBWTF site is located at a distance of 70 m from the boundary of the project and in compliance to the same provisions have already been made in the approved site plan for 15 mtr green belt towards the CBWTF site. The site falls in residential zone as per Master Plan SAS Nagar.
