Sub:-Implementation of Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 - Action for regulation

of one time use plastics.
The increasing consumption and indiscriminate use of various types of plastics in diverse fields has
lead to accumulation of plastic waste in water bodies and has also lead lot of environmental
issues. For local authorities, handling of plastic waste has become very challenging and many local
bodies have initiated steps to ban plastic in their jurisdiction. It is a known fact that the plastic
pollution of marine environment is increasing. There is a dire need to control usage of plastic for
saving the world from further plastic pollution, This need has been reiterated by the United
Nations by keeping this year's World Environment Day theme ("Beat plastic pollution") revolve
around plastic pollution. India was host to this year's World Environment Day observation. The
message was – “If you can't reuse it refuse it". It sheds light on the fact that the use and throw
culture will in no way do good to the earth and its habitants. The Plastic Waste Management
Rules, 2016 also provides for reduction of plastic waste.
In the above circumstances and keeping in view the urgent need to reduce usage of plastics in the
State for saving its water bodies and land from further plastic pollution, it is decided to regulate
the usage of plastic in such sectors where alternate and safe techniques/methods are available, by
invoking section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. As a first step, the Board proposes
to ban the usage of plastic PET bottles for supply of packaged drinking water in Star hotels,
Resorts hospitals with more than 500 beds and in houseboats. The tourism industry and the
health sector may embrace a green protocol by avoiding plastics. Hence the Units of the above
type shall be directed to provide facility for safe drinking water in glass bottles in place of plastic
bottles. For this they can establish water purification/treatment plants/RO plants and the glass
bottle sterilisation units. The above units are allowed a time period of 6 months from the 15th of
June 2018 to stop usage of plastic bottles for supply of drinking water in their premises. It is
envisioned that the above direction will be complied by both the tourism and health sector with
content.

Sub:-Notice for provision of Remote Calibration Facility for verification of OCEMS

performance i.e. data verification/Validation by SPCBs/PCCs, whenever felt
necessary.
Directions for installation of Online Continuous Emission Monitoring System (OCEMS) and
submission of its data to CPCB online were issued to 17 categories of highly polluting industries
and grossly polluting industries by CPCB in the year 2015.
Subsequently, OCEMS were installed by the industries and data sent to CPCB by the industries
through Technology Providers. Performance check of OCEMS is needed to ensure that data
received is accurate and reliable and that there is no tampering with OCEMS. Performance of
OCEMS can be verified through Remote Calibration facility, accordingly, CPCB in the guidelines for
emissions published in year 2017 mentioned that the instrument/analyzer system shall have
provision of remote calibration, for verification of OCEMS performance i.e. data
verification/Validation by SPCBs/PCCs, whenever felt necessary.
It has been 03 years that the analyzers are working continuously. Hence the performance of
analyzer needs to be verified. CPCB vide D.O. letter dated April 13, 2018 and April 17, 2018
issued to all SPCBs/PCCs requested to make Remote Calibration facility mandatory for emission
parameters (except PM) in 17 categories highly polluting industries and grossly polluting industry
and that this facility should be made available at each industry on or before May 31, 2018. SPCBs
in turn issued directions to industries for providing this facility.
Industries have started demonstration of Remote Calibration facility to CPCB. However, majority
of industries have not provided it and representations received to extend the time period as these
units have received instructions late in May 2018. In view of the above following is decided:
(i) Time extension, to install remote calibration facility for OCEMS performance check by CPCB
and SPCBs/PCCs, is given till 20.09.2018. All industries shall also submit remote calibration
facility details such as make, model and device ID in the section 12 “Instrument Details” of
Form E2 of Compliance Reporting Protocol.
(ii) The list of defaulters, state-wise will be published on CPCB website on 26.09.2018 and SPCBs/
PCCs shall take following actions:
(a) Applications pending at SPCBs/PCCs for renewal of consents will be rejected.
(b) Industrial units, having valid consents, will be issued 15 days notice with an intention to
withdraw the Consent to Operate and
(c) Effect withdrawal of consents to all defaulted units by 15.10.2018.
