SUSTAINABLE & ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION (SEIP) Activities in Uttarakhand: Monthly Progress Report – September, 2017

Introduction “Sustainable and Environment-friendly Industrial Production – SEIP” is a joint project of the Ministry of

Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale

Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH within the framework of Indo-German Technical Cooperation. The objective

of the SEIP project is to enable Indian public and private stakeholders to jointly implement strategies for

efficient, environment- friendly, and climate-friendly industrial development.

The project aims at mitigating environmental problems caused by industrial production focusing on

industrial wastewater and solid waste management. During the project duration, technical solutions as well

as business and management models to reduce acute environmental pollution and to improve resource

efficiency in industrial production are piloted in five Indian industrial estates. Visible positive direct impacts

of the solutions showcased are to improve conditions directly at the sites, and to unfold a strong signal

effect leading to the replication and upscaling of solutions in industrial parks throughout India. Project

activities focus on wastewater conveyance systems, the treatment, recycling and reuse of wastewater,

waste management as well as the management and planning practices in the industrial areas. Solutions

are piloted in 5 selected industrial areas located in the states of Delhi, Gujarat and Uttarakhand.

Further cross-cutting activities, such as the development of a market-driven training system for technicians

and operators of effluent treatment plants, the development of industry-wide environmental standards, the

work on a green rating system for industrial areas, and the setting up of a technology platform offering

international exchange of best practice technologies target the improvement of enabling framework

conditions for sustainable industrial production in India.

SEIP started in March 2015 and will run until February 2018 (with a likely extension of 12 months) and has

a budget of EUR 6.5 million. A brief overview of the SEIP Project is given at Annexure 1.

3. Environmental improvement in 50 individual industries to reduce pollution and increase resource efficiency at company level

About the activity:

4 | P a g e

This objective of this activity is to implement measures that will lead to either a reduction in pollution or an

increase in resource efficiency thereby improving the environmental improvements of a company and

demonstrating the effectiveness of the measure at hand. The total number of industrial units established in

Haridwar city as on March 31, 2014, is about 750, of which 550 are within the SIIDCUL IIE Haridwar. Most

of the industries are connected to the CETP; however, some face connectivity problems to the conveyance

systems due to slopes in the area. Most of the companies use old technologies and inefficient operational

techniques. Pollution and non-compliance with environmental statutory requirements are the order of the

day.

50 companies at which technically sound and financially viable techniques and technologies are to be

implemented, have been selected. The first step is the assessment for the scope of process optimisation

and improvements in resource efficiency (materials, water, energy) before detailing and implementing the

solutions suggested. Subsequently, the replication of successful solutions is to be enabled in other

industries/industrial areas.

6. Miscellaneous

a. Baseline Assessment of Pollution

About the activity:

The purpose of this activity to set the baseline for pollution assessment in IIE SIIDCUL Haridwar. Summary of progress so far:

Ms Sonal Jain (Baseline Pollution Assessment expert) visited in February 2017 to assess the

present condition of the pollution at IIE SIIDCUL Haridwar. A baseline assessment report has been

submitted including identified sites for pollution assessment for establishing baseline.

On 7th July 2017, a meeting with Mr. PK Joshi, Regional Officer and Dr. RK Chaturvedi, ASO was

organized at UEPPCB Office, Roorkee to discuss the Base Line Establishment/Monitoring at the

locations prescribed by Ms Sonal Jain (Baseline Pollution Assessment expert) in her report.

Mr. Joshi and Dr. Chaturvedi both confirmed their commitment towards this activity, but shared

following concerns –

o Date of Sampling is set for after 25th July due to Kanwar restrictions going on in the region. They will inform SEIP about the dates shortly.

o UEPPCB RO does not have a laboratory facility with them at Roorkee. However UEPPCB Dehradun has a Lab facility where they can conduct the primary tests viz. pH, COD, BOD, TDS etc. Hecen, the tests as prescribed in the report cannot be conducted without engaging a third party lab that has MoEFCC approval.

o For sampling and conducting the lab test (~ 26x2 Base line measurement locations - both before and after) as prescribed in the baseline report, an estimated financial out lay would be nearly 3 Lakhs. RO will have to seek financial approval from UEPPCB Dehradun. Only then the sampling would be possible.

Concerns of Mr. Joshi and Dr. Chaturvedi were shared with Mr. Amarjeet Singh Oberoi (Chief

Environment Officer, UEPPCB) and Mr. S.S Pal (Scientific Officer, UEPPCB). Mr. Oberoi directed

Mr. Pal to take up this issue with Ms office and arrange a meeting for discussing the same.

Progress for the current month:

Mr. Amit K Singh (Project Manager, CETP IIE SIIDCUL Haridwar) shared the CETP inlet and outlet

data for last two years with baselines pollution assessment expert.
