* Liner and lagoon specifications to be achieved in one year.
Impact Analysis:
Coffee Instant Dry Processing Industry and Wet Parchment Coffee Processing Industry:
* Impact: Must adhere to the new standards for effluent discharge, including pH and BOD limits, and construction of storage facilities with non-permeable liners.
* Action Required: Implement necessary changes to processing and waste management systems to comply with the specified standards and conduct testing to ensure permeability criteria are met; liner and lagoon specifications to be achieved in one year.
Central Government and Regulatory Bodies:
* Impact: Responsible for enforcing the amended rules and ensuring compliance by the coffee processing industry.
* Action Required: Monitor and verify adherence to the new standards through inspections and reporting mechanisms.
