Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This notification publishes draft rules amending the Environment Protection Rules, 1986, concerning brick kilns. The Central Government will consider these rules after a 60-day period following the notification's publication. Interested parties can submit objections or suggestions to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, CPCB, or Scientist D. The final publication date in the Official Gazette will mark the enforcement of these rules. Key Points / Main Content: * **Amendment to Environment Protection Rules, 1986:** * Entry 74 in Schedule I is substituted with new standards for brick kilns, including Bulls Trench Kilns, Induced High Draft Kiln, Hoffmann Kilns, Tunnel, down draft Kilns, Vertical Shaft Kilns (VSK), and Zig Zag kilns. * **Emission Standards:** * Particulate matter in stack emission limit: 250 mg/Nm3. * Minimum stack heights are defined for natural and induced draft kilns based on capacity (less than or equal to/greater than 30,000 bricks per day). * **Operational Requirements:** * New brick kilns must use zigzag or vertical methods. * Existing kilns not using zigzag or vertical methods must convert within one year (near non-attainment cities) or two years (other kilns), unless CPCBSPCBPPC timelines prevail. * New kilns must have appropriate stack heights and comply with Particulate Matter (PM) norms within one year. * Only approved fuels (coal, firewood, agricultural residues) are allowed; pet coke is prohibited. * Good fuel charging operation practices must be followed in the intervening period. * Permanent facility port holes and platforms for emission monitoring as per CPCB norms are required. * Emission samples must represent both fuel charging and non-charging conditions. * Particulate Matter (PM) results should be normalized at 4% CO2. * **Siting and Distance:** * Kilns considered as Induced High draft kilns if they have a fan operating with minimum 50mm water gauge draught. * Minimum distance of 0.8 km from habitation and fruit orchards is required; State Boards may impose stricter criteria. * Minimum distance of 1 km from an existing fixed chimney kiln is required. * **Other Requirements:** * Brick kilns must follow process emission control guidelines by SPCBsPCCs. * Generated ash must be fully utilized in-house for brick making. * Necessary approvals from concerned authorities (including mining department) are required for topsoil extraction. * Roads used for transporting raw materials/bricks must be metaled and dust-free. * Trucks must be covered during transportation of raw materials/bricks. * Existing kilns must increase stack height, if required, to meet new standards within 1 year. Impact Analysis: Stakeholder: Brick Kiln Owners * Impact: Must adhere to new emission standards, operational requirements, fuel restrictions, siting guidelines, and transportation rules. May need to invest in technology upgrades, process changes, and infrastructure improvements. * Action Required: Assess current operations, plan for necessary conversions/upgrades, obtain required approvals, and ensure compliance with all new rules and timelines. Stakeholder: State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) / Pollution Control Committees (PCCs) * Impact: Responsible for enforcing the new regulations, setting stricter siting criteria if necessary, and prescribing process emission control guidelines. * Action Required: Update regulatory frameworks, conduct inspections, monitor compliance, and take enforcement actions as needed. Stakeholder: Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change * Impact: Responsible for considering objections/suggestions on the draft notification. * Action Required: Review feedback and finalize the amendment rules. Stakeholder: Public * Impact: Potentially benefits from reduced air pollution due to stricter emission standards for brick kilns. * Action Required: Submit objections or suggestions on the proposals contained in the draft notification to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, CPCB, or Scientist D.

Any person interested in making any objections or suggestions on the proposals contained in the draft notification may forward the same in writing, for consideration of the Central Government within the period specified above to the Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Indira Paryavaran Bhawan, Jor Bagh, Road, New Delhi-110003, or send it to Member Secretary, CPCB and Scientist ‘D’ Ministry at the e-mail address i.e. mscb.cpcb@nic.in and h.kharkwal@nic.in.4 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART II—SEC. 3(i)] Draft Rules 1. (1) These rules may be called the Environment (Protection) Amendment Rules, 2018. (2) They shall come intoforce on the date of their final publication in the Official Gazette. 2. In the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, in Schedule-I, for entry 74 the following entry shall be substituted, namely:- 1 2 3 4 “74 Brick Kilns Bull’s Trench Kilns, Induced/High Draft Kiln, Hoffmann Kilns, Tunnel, down draft Kilns, Vertical Shaft Kilns (VSK) and Zig Zag. Particulate matter in stack emission 250 mg/Nm’ Minimum stack height (for Natural draft kilns) - Kiln capacity less than 30,000 bricks per day 27 m - Kiln capacity equal or more than 30,000 bricks per day 30 m Minimum stack height (for Induced/High draft kilns) - Kiln capacity less than 30,000 bricks per day 24 m - Kiln capacity equal or more than 30,000 bricks per day 27 m Notes: 1. All new brick kilns shall be allowed only with zig-zag or vertical method of brick making and shall comply to the new standards as stipulated in this notification. 2. The existing brick kilns which are not following zig zag or vertical method of brick making shall be converted so as to adopt zig zag or vertical method within a period of one year in case of kilns located near non-attainment cities and two year for other both kilns. Further, in cases where CPCB/SPCB/PPC has separately laid down timelines for conversion, such orders shall prevail. 3. The new brick kilns shall have appropriate stack heights to meet the new standards and comply with the norms for Particulate Matter (PM) within one year. 4. All brick kilns shall use only approved fuel such as coal, fire wood and/or agricultural residues. Use of pet coke shall not be allowed in brick kilns. 5. In the intervening period of one year allowed to the existing brick kilns to complywith these new standards for Particulate Matter by adopting good fuel charging/operation practices. 6. Brick kilns shall construct permanent facility (port hole and platform) as per the norms/design laid down by the CPCB for monitoring of Emissions. 7. Emission sample shall represent both fuel charging and non-charging conditions. 8. Particulate Matter (PM) results shall be normalized at 4% CO, as below: 9. PM (normalized) = PM (measured) x 4% / measured CO, in% Stack height (in metre) shall also be calculated by formula H=l4Q’' (where Q is SO emission rate in kg/hr), and the maximum of two 2 shall apply. 10. A brick kilns will be considered an Induced/High draft kiln if it has a fan operating with minimum 50mm water gauge draught. 11. Brick kilns should be established at a minimum distance of 0.8 km from habitation and fruit orchards. State Boards may make siting criteria stringent considering proximity to habitation, population density, water bodies, sensitive receptors, etc. 12. Brick kilns should be established at a minimum distance of 1 km from an existing fixed chimney kiln to avoid clustering of kilns in an area. 13. Brick kilns shall follow process emission control guidelines as prescribed by concerned SPCBs/PCCs. 14. The ash generated in the brick kilns shall be fully utilized in-house in brick making. 15. All necessary approvals from the concerned authorities including mining department of the concerned State/UT shall be obtained for extracting the top soil to be used for brick making in the brick kiln. 16. The brick kiln owners shall ensure that the road utilized for transporting raw materials/bricks shall be metaled roads and is dust free. 17. Trucks shall be covered during transportation of raw material/bricks. 18. The existing kilns shall increase stack height, if required, to meet these new standards within 1 year”. [F.N.O.
