It is submitted that earlier, the project (PP) was obtained consent to operate under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 vide No. CTOW/Fresh/PBIP/ LDH/2023/ 2304637321 dated 09.05.2023 valid upto 31.03.2024 and the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 vide No. CTOA/Fresh/PBIP/LDH/2023/2304804784 dated 09.05.2023 valid upto 31.03.2024 for storage facility for wheat @ 50,000 MTD.
Thereafter, PP applied for renewal of consent to operate under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 along with required documents & fee which were refused vide No. CTOW/Renew/LDH2/2024/25088165 Dated 16.04.2024 and No. CTOA/Renew/LDH2/2024/25207825 dated 16.04.2024 respectively with the following reasons :-

4. It has also installed pre-storage silo of capacity 500 MT capacity.
5. It has installed 1 No. Bulk loader of capacity 60 MT and 2 Nos. Bagging fillow of capacity 30 MT each.
6. It has installed 6 Truck in-taker with 6 suction hoods which equipped with Bag filters as APCD to control the dust emissions during unloading of grains.
7. Now, it has provided the sampling arrangements with its stack of APCD. The stack emission sample from the stack of APCD was collected on 09.05.2024 and as per analysis report the concentration of Particulate matter was found 52 mg/Nm3, which is within the prescribed limits fixed by the Board.
8. It has installed 2 D.G. Sets of capacity 40 KVA and 380 KVA with canopy and now with adequate stack heights.
9. There is no source of trade effluent.

11. It has developed approx. 5000 sq.ft. plantation area to discharge the treated domestic effluent.
12. As per previous consent granted to the project, the capital Invest of the project was 3595 Lacs. Now, the project cost is Rs. 4380 Lacs i.e. 785 Lacs increased. Hence, PP was required to deposit Rs. 10,800/- as NOC regularization fee + Rs. 500/- as consent form fee, which has not been deposited by the PP.
