Executive Summary:
This notification amends the Environment Protection Rules of 1986, specifically concerning standards for Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP). It outlines revised permissible values for treated effluent quality and introduces specific parameters for various industry sectors. The rules take effect on the date of publication in the Official Gazette, January 1, 2016.
Key Points / Main Content:
Amendments to Environment Protection Rules, 1986:
The current notification amends the Environment Protection Rules, 1986.
Schedule I Modifications:
Serial number 41 and related entries in Schedule I are omitted.
Serial number 55 is substituted with revised entries concerning CETPs.
CETP Standards:
Inlet Quality: State Boards will prescribe inlet quality standards for general parameters, ammonical nitrogen, and heavy metals based on CETP design and local needs.
Treated Effluent Quality: Specifies maximum permissible values for treated effluent quality (in mg/L, except for pH and Temperature) for discharge into inland surface water, on land for irrigation, and into the sea. Parameters include pH, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Fixed Dissolved Solids (FDS), Temperature, Oil & Grease, Ammonical Nitrogen, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), Nitrate Nitrogen, Phosphates, Chlorides, Sulphates, Flouride, Sulphides, Phenolic compounds, Total Res. Chlorine, Zinc, Iron, Copper, Trivalent Chromium, Manganese, Nickel, Arsenic, Cyanide, Vanedium, Lead, Hexavalent Chromium, Selenium, Cadmium and Mercury.
Specific Parameter Considerations:
Temperature: Treated effluent temperature should not exceed ambient water temperature by more than 5°C.
Oil & Grease: Maximum permissible value for Oil & Grease is 10 mg/L.
Ammonical Nitrogen: Maximum permissible value for Ammonical Nitrogen is 50 mg/L for discharge into inland surface water and on land for irrigation.
Fixed Dissolved Solids (FDS): Maximum permissible FDS contribution by CETP units is 1000 mg/L, but this may be modified by the State Board if raw water FDS concentration is high (more than 1100 mg/L).
Discharge Conditions:
Marine Outfall: Discharge into the sea must be through a proper marine outfall. Existing shore discharges must be converted to marine outfalls.
COD Limit Relaxation: The State Board may relax the COD limit if the marine outfall provides a minimum initial dilution of 150 times at the point of discharge and a minimum dilution of 1500 times at a point 100m away from the discharge point, but the COD should not exceed 500 mg/L.
Irrigation Discharge:
Soil and Groundwater Monitoring: For treated effluent discharge on land for irrigation, the impact on soil and groundwater quality must be monitored twice a year (pre- and post-monsoon).
Mixing Ratio: For combined discharge of treated effluent and sewage on land for irrigation, the mixing ratio with sewage shall be prescribed by the State Board.
Sector-Specific Parameters:
Specific parameters are outlined for the following sectors: Textile, Electroplating Industries, Tanneries, Dye & Dye Intermediate, Organic chemicals manufacturing industry and Pharmaceutical industry
Impact Analysis:
State Boards:
Impact: Responsible for prescribing inlet quality standards for CETPs and potentially modifying FDS limits and specifying mixing ratios for combined effluent and sewage discharge. They may also relax Chemical Oxygen Demand COD limits provided certain conditions are met.
Action Required: Define inlet quality standards, monitor and potentially adjust FDS limits, and prescribe mixing ratios as necessary.
Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs):
Impact: Must adhere to the revised effluent quality standards and monitor soil and groundwater quality if discharging treated effluent for irrigation.
Action Required: Ensure compliance with revised standards, implement monitoring programs for irrigation discharge, and potentially upgrade treatment processes.
Industries connected to CETPs:
Impact: Must adhere to inlet quality standards set by the State Boards for discharge into the CETPs.
Action Required: Ensure compliance with inlet standards and potentially adjust pretreatment processes.
Regulatory Bodies (e.g., Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change):
Impact: Oversee the implementation and enforcement of the amended rules.
Action Required: Monitor compliance and address any issues arising from the implementation of the amended rules.

Notes:
1. Discharge of treated effluent into sea shall be through proper marine outfall. The existing shore
discharges shall be converted to marine outfalls. In cases where the marine outfall provides a
minimum initial dilution of 150 times at the point of discharge and a minimum dilution of 1500
times at a point 100 m away from discharge point, then, the State Board may relax the Chemical
Oxygen Demand (COD) limit:¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3 (ii)º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 7
Provided that the maximum permissible value for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in treated
effluent shall be 500 milligram/litre.
2. Maximum permissible Fixed Dissolved Solids (FDS) contribution by constituent units of a
Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) shall be 1000 milligram/litre. In cases where Fixed
Dissolved Solids (FDS) concentration in raw water used by the constituent units is already high
(i.e. it is more than 1100 milligram/litre) then the maximum permissible value for Fixed Dissolved
Solids (FDS) in treated effluent shall be accordingly modified by the State Board.
3. In case of discharge of treated effluent on land for irrigation, the impact on soil and groundwater
quality shall be monitored twice a year (pre- and post-monsoon) by Common Effluent Treatment
Plants (CETP) management. For combined discharge of treated effluent and sewage on land for
irrigation, the mixing ratio with sewage shall be prescribed by State Board.
