Revised Action Plan for Industrial

Cluster
in Severally Polluted Areas

नासिक Nashik

July, 2020
 A. PREAMBLE:
In 2009, the Ministry of Environment &Forests(MoEF), Govt. of India in
association with Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), New Delhi and
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi have carried out an
environmental assessment of industrial clusters across the country named
Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI) with the aim of
identifying polluted industrial clusters & prioritizing planning needs for
intervention to improve the quality of environment in these industrial clusters
and the nation as a whole. For this, CPCB has selected 88 industrial clusters in
country out of which 43 Nos. of industrial clusters in 16 states.

The industrial clusters/areas having aggregated CEPI scores of 70 and

above were considered critically polluted clusters/areas and those with scores
above 60 were classified as Severely Polluted; further detailed investigations
were carried out in terms of the extent of environmental damage and
formulation of appropriate remedial action plan.

Again in year 2017-2018 CPCB carried out monitoring and found that,
number of identified polluted areas in country went upto 100. The said number
included 38 Critically Polluted (CEPI Score above 70), 31 Severely Polluted
(CEPI Score between 60-70) and reaming 31 as Other Polluted (CEPI Score
below 60).

In identified 100 polluted areas Maharashtra having 9 Nos. of area

namely Tarapur (CEPI Score 93.69), Chandrapur (CEPI Score 76.41),
Aurangabad (CEPI Score 69.85), Dombivali (CEPI Score 69.67), Nashik (CEPI
Score 69.49), Navi Mumbai (CEPI Score 66.32), Chembur (CEPI Score 54.67),
Pimpri-Chinchwad (CEPI Score 52.15) & Mahad (CEPI Score 47.12).
 Government of Maharashtra, under Chairmanship of Principal Secretary,
Environment Department, GoM constituted State Level Committee and one
local committee at Regional Officer level at each regions. Also Member
Secretary of Board conducted several review meetings with all stakeholders at a
regular interval to review the status of implementation of CEPI action plans.

Board has prepared comprehensive action plan for Nashik CEPI area
(Satpur & Ambad MIDC), which help to reduce CEPI score below 60.

 a. Satpur Industrial Estate:

Satpur industrial area is located 7 km away from Nashik to the west.

Establishment of Nashik Industrial Cooperative Estate (NICE) in 1962 is called

as the revolution in industrial development of Nashik. The founders of the

institute Late Babubhai Rathi, Late D.S. Potnis, Late Dadasaheb Andhrutkar

worked hard for the industrial development. State government selected Satpur

as the centre for Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in

1962. MIDC, Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB), Maharashtra State

Finance Corporation (MSFC), Maharashtra Small Scale Industries Development

Corporation (MSSIDC) worked & helped in the sectors of land, lease, licence,

loan and load. MSEB started National Thermal Power Station (NTPS) at

Eklahara near Nashik in 1965. To solve the problems of Big & Small industries

Nashik Industrial Manufacturers Association (NIMA) was established in 1972.

Nature has blessed good and healthy atmosphere to Nashik and hence NICE

tried to bring the different industries such as MICO, Taparia, Blow-Plast,

Mahindra, Crompton etc. in Nashik. NICE also tried for Electricity, water,

roads, posts, Banks, Hospitals, Buildings, Shops etc. For the information of

import and export policies the 'Information Technology Center' has been

established. Now Nashik is not only religious city but it is also known as a well

developed industrial centre. Satpur is fully developed and it has become

Maharashtra Pollution Control Board Page 10

essential to find out other sectors for development. Hence MIDC developed

Ambad in 1977. In this sector women are given special opportunities for

industry. 'Software Technology Park' is being established by MIDC in this

sector.

11. EFFORTS TAKEN FOR POLLUTION REDUCTION:

1. Water Environment
 Encouraging use of waste water obtained from domestic activities i.e.
sullage is treated & recycle for toilet flushing & gardening, reducing fresh
water requirement by 60%.
 Encouraging rain water collection & using same for non consumptive
purpose.
 Mandating both Rain water harvesting & Sullage Recycle for new large
complexes.
 Plantation of trees on hilly slopes on a warfutting.
 Educating Industries about water conservation by conducting water audits
& Implementing the recycle & Reuse method of water.
 Optimize use of water through recycling.
 Avoiding the discharge of untreated effluents entering the surface water
bodies.
 Modifying sewage treatment plants.
 Discouraging mass bathing in the holy river in order to reduce pollution.
 Prohibition of immersing chemicals painted idols in water bodies.
 The eco-friendly and economical red bed system for treatment and
recycle of industrial effluent, sewage sullage also provides a solution to
increasing problems of pollution & water scarcity.
 NMC has envisaged and is in process to collect and treat more than 95%
of total sewage generated in city within next 2 years. Currently, NMC
collects and treat 126 MLD of sewage collected through its existing
sewerage system. Treatment capacity is likely to be increased in very near
future to cater almost 100% sewage generated in the city. Lying of storm
water drainage is also underway. Besides, the city sanitation plan being
developed by the NMC will positively affect the NMC’s vision of
keeping the city green and clean.
 Awareness program shall be continued for the community residing
alongside the River Godavari to prevent & protect the river pollution.

Maharashtra Pollution Control Board Page 28

 2. Air Environment
 NMC has satisfactory road infrastructure, however, to execute ongoing
projects like lying of sewerage and storm water drainage, some of the
roads has been excavated and undergoing repair. All efforts will be made
by the NMC to prevent dust pollution in the vicinity of those roads.
Besides, NMC, as per its routine, constructs new pakka road and
maintains the existing pakka road to prevent dust pollution likely to arise
from such roads in windy weather.
 PUC check-up in NMC area to made mandatory in coordination with
Regional Transport Officer (RTO).
 Comprehensive Air Quality Monitoring of Nashik Region in coordination
with MPCB

3. Land Environment
 NMC has adequate infrastructure to process municipal solid waste generated
in its jurisdiction but improvement needs to be done towards operation .
Besides, it has acquired adequate land to deal with future requirements.
NMC produces compost through its compost processing plant which
enhances the essential nutrient content in soil.
 Awareness program shall be launched in relatively comprehensive way for
the community to practice segregation at source so as to minimize quantity
of waste likely to consume the place in the sanitary landfill.

4. Green Belt Development:

 Conservation of green belts.

 Improvements of Footpaths.
 Developments of Tree plantation on the road side in order to increase
beauty.
 Periodic manicure of tree planted on roads.
 Prohibition of Spiting, peeing & throwing waste on the roads.
 Improvement of Traffic island & junctions.
 Awareness to citizens to keep city clean through slogans, messages,
media etc.
 Maintenance of public utility buildings and Monuments.
 Increase in number of parks & play grounds for public use.
 Total use of open land for green belt development,

Maharashtra Pollution Control Board Page 29

 Arranging the seminar/awareness programme at school & collage levels.

5. Municipal Solid Waste Management

 Segregation of solid wastes into biodegradable and non-biodegradable
components in order to undertake composting efficiently.
 Creating more awareness in public for minimizing wastes, non-usage of
polythene bags, plastic bags.
 Prohibition on throwing wastes on roadside or in public places.
 Increase in number of mobile garbage collection vehicles, normally
cundas places.
 Modernizing method of trash collection.
 Increasing the awareness programme in local people for effective
segregation at the source.
 Upgrading the existing MSW Treatment Facilities and Enhance the
proposed site for MSW Treatment Technically.
