Executive Summary:
This notification, dated January 6, 2020, amends a previous notification from February 1, 1989, concerning restrictions on industries, mining, and development in the Doon Valley. It consolidates amendments and directions, harmonizing conditions based on Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) guidelines and requests from the Government of Uttarakhand. The notification outlines revised guidelines for industrial locations, mining, tourism, grazing, and land use within the Doon Valley.
Key Points / Main Content:
Industrial Units:
* Location siting must align with CPCB modified directions issued on March 7, 2016, regarding industrial sector classifications (red, orange, green, white). Classifications may be amended by CPCB and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change from time to time.
* Red category industries are prohibited in the Doon Valley.
* The total number of fuel-burning industries will be limited to 8 tonnes per day of Sulphur Dioxide emissions.
* Siting of industrial areas requires adherence to prescribed criteria and prior approval.
* Existing orange category industries now classified as red may continue operations, but expansion is not permitted.
Mining:
* All mining activities require prior approval from the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
Tourism:
* Tourism development must follow a Tourism Development Plan (TDP) prepared by the State Department of Tourism and approved by the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
Grazing:
* Grazing must adhere to a plan prepared by the State Government and approved by the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
Land Use:
