| File Note: |
It is submitted that now the industry has now proposed to install Bag filter house as APCD for shelling section and for paddy cleaner of dryer section so as to achieve revised stack emission standards of CPCB. In this regard the industry has submitted feasibility report from M/s Laj Engineering corp., Barnala
Keeping in view of above, it is recommended that the consent to establish (NOC) for setting up of rice sheller unit at it proposed site located at Nangal Road, Village Jhaloor, to manufacture Sorted raw rice (With dryer) @ 2.0 TPH by processing of paddy @ 3.0 TPH may be granted to the industry with suitable conditions as per policy of the Board and following specific conditions: -
1. The industry shall obtain permission for abstraction of ground water as per guidelines issued by the Central Ground Water Authority.
2. The industry shall discharge domestic effluent onto land for plantation after its treatment in septic tank. The industry shall not use any water in the process & shall not generate or discharge any kind of trade effluent, without prior permission of the Board.
3. The industry shall comply with the following code of practice notified by Punjab Govt., Deptt.of STE vide its Notification no. 10/48/2004-STE (4) /932 dated. 15/10/2013 which is reproduced as under:-
A) Code of Practices
i) All the processing sheds be covered and have minimum ventilation as per the recommendations of Director of Factories.
ii) The industry should plant thick plantation of spreading crown varieties of evergreen trees all along the boundary wall of the rice sheller / saila plant.
iii) All dust emitting points should be properly hooded and dust extracted to a common point. At this exhaust point, dust coming here will be passed through a dust control system and air will be emitted through a stack of height 3 meters above the roof of the building.
iv) The management and handling of rice husk in the rice shelling units / saila plants should be done as under:
a) All the rice shelling units / saila plants shall provide paved / brick roads / cement concrete roads/ metalled roads inside their premises for movement of vehicles, so as to prevent the generation of dust.
b) The industry shall provide proper rice husk storage facilities inside the factory premises and the height of brick wall in front of the discharge point of rice husk area should be at least 10' high or 3.5' higher than the discharge point of the rice husk pipe (whichever is more) and the length of aforesaid brick wall should be at least 35' on each side of the rice husk discharge pipe.
c) The industry shall provide a layer of wind screen of mild steel or some other similar material of at least 5' height above the brick wall. The wind screen system should have a porosity of ~30% to lower the wind velocities, thus reducing the amount of airborne particulate from storage, handling and loading / unloading areas of rice husk.
d) The minimum diameter at the outlet of discharge pipe of rice husk be kept as 15'', which can be maintained by extending the existing discharge pipe with the help of a conical shaped pipe of at least 3' length.
e) Wherever the height of rice husk is 3' or more, the industry shall cover the heap of husk with HDPE warp knitted fabric completely, except the area near the discharge pipe. The HDPE warp knitted fabric be made of 100% virgin high density polymer of at least 70 gm/m2 weight having 40-45 hole/inch2 to prevent wind blowing of stored husk.
f) During transportation of rice husk through vehicles, it shall be covered from all sides with tarpaulin to prevent blowing of husk by winds.
4. The industry shall not consume any fuel except rice husk in dryer furnace for burning purposes without the prior written permission of the Board.
5. The industry shall not install saila plant, boiler furnace or DG set in its premises, without prior written permission of the Board.
6. The industry shall be bound to achieve stack emission standards laid down by the PPCB / CPCB / MoEF and amended from time to time. |
