Annexure 2: SEIP Project Activities in Uttarakhand

Activity 1: Solutions for modernization and upgradation of the CETP and selected ETPs, implementation of zero liquid discharge (ZLD) and/or the recycling, reuse and proper disposal of wastewater, as well as improvements in conveyance and drainage systems Key issues:

The SIIDCUL IIE Haridwar has a Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) of 9 MLD design capacity. Over 400 units are connected to this CETP. The project was awarded on BOT basis to SK UEM Water Projects Private Limited through a 20-year agreement. The CETP currently caters to only about 2.65 MLD of waste water (domestic and industrial). The key issues related to CETP are:

□ Ensuring “all time compliance” of CETP/ETP and compliance of discharges of individual industries to the permissible limits of pollutant parameters.

□ Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) is to be achieved. □ Existing business and management models of CETP need improvement. □ Storm water overflow to CETP adding to carries pollutants and hence requires appropriate

measures.

Proposed measures:

The proposed measures under the SEIP Project include:

□ Up-gradation/modernization solutions for CETP and ETPs (10 nos) □ Design/redesign retrofitting of wastewater conveyance and storm water drainage □ ZLD solutions - recycle/reuse of treated wastewater □ Improved business and management model for CETP □ Environmental drives for improving compliance and removal of waste dumps

Progress:

□ Engagement of German experts - GIZ had hired an international consultancy to work on detailed problem analysis on the above

aspects and provide conceptual solutions. The experts have started work from September 2016. In a second stage, the conceptual solutions will be further elaborated with design details and specifications for implementation.

□ Data collection/surveys/studies

- IIT Roorkee was engaged by GIZ and a rapid pollution assessment study has been completed. - IDEC, Bangalore was engaged by GIZ and an economic assessment study on CETP was

conducted. - Masters of City Planning (M.C.P) students from IIT Kharagpur and S.P.A Bhopal underwent

internship with GIZ and initiated a GIS based mapping for IIE Haridwar. Also, some of the problems were identified.

- Questionnaires have been designed to collect information related to wastewater discharge profiling from industries/ETPs and CETP. GIZ teams will start surveys soon.

Activity 2: Demonstration of measures to reduce pollution and to increase resource efficiency in 50 selected companies Key issues:

12 | P a g e

The total number of industrial units established in Haridwar city as on March 31, 2014, is about 750, of which 460 are within the SIIDCUL IIE Haridwar. Most of the industries are connected to CETP, however some are yet to be connected due to connectivity problems to conveyance systems caused by slopes. A solution has to be found for such industries. The general problems faced by the industries, such as inefficiencies of resource utilization (material, water, energy), usage of old technologies and inefficient operational techniques, pollution and non-compliance with environmental statutory requirements, operation & maintenance aspects of environmental infrastructure related to wastewater and waste, are to be addressed.

Proposed measures:

The overall objective of the technical cooperation support from the SEIP Project is to enable environmental improvements in selected industries through implementation of technically sound and financially viable techniques/technologies for process optimisation, resource efficiency (materials, water, energy) etc. These improvements have also to result in the reduction of environmental pollution by 20 %, measured by the change of parameters as pH, BOD, COD, TDS, TSS etc. with respect to baselines, established at the start of the project. Furthermore, the replication of the successful experiences in other industries/industrial areas should be enabled.


□ Monthly meetings are to be conducted with industries for knowledge exchange and to promote Best Available Techniques (BAT).

□ Detailing of solutions to various problems (target – 50 industries) by German experts. □ Support to industries during implementation of solutions. □ Enable replication of successful models in IIE Haridwar and other industrial areas. □ A comprehensive enforcement ordnance is developed for tannery sector as an example, based on

experiences from Germany, for use by CPCB and SPCBs.

Expected outcome:

□ Environmental improvements in selected industries (up to 50 no.) resulting in the reduction of environmental pollution by 20 %, measured by the change of parameters as pH, BOD, COD, TDS, TSS etc. with respect to baselines, established at the start of the project.

□ Guidelines and case example documents are available. □ Replication of the successful experiences in other industries/industrial areas is enabled through

measures through regulatory actions and polices/plans/programmes. □ Enforcement ordnance is available for tannery sector as an example.

Progress:

□ Engagement of German experts - The scoping of the services related to environment improvement in industries has been

completed. The terms of references for engaging international consultants have been finalised (ref. Annexure 1) and the contracting process has been initiated by GIZ. The experts are expected to start their work in January 2017.

- A German expert is being engaged for developing a comprehensive enforcement ordnance for tannery sector for use by CPCB. Ref. Annexure 2.

□ Data collection/surveys/studies - Questionnaires have been designed to collect information related to waste water and waste

from industries. GIZ teams will start surveys soon. Activity 3: Skill development of ETP/CETP staff (helpers & technicians)

13 | P a g e

Key issues:

The environmental laws require the trade effluents discharged from any premises used for carrying on any industry, operation or process or treatment or disposal system to be treated to meet the prescribed standards before their disposal. Accordingly, a number of Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) have already been set up by industries and more will come up in the future. The 17-categories of highly polluting industry sectors are in special focus from the regulatory authorities due to pollution caused by them. To facilitate cost effective treatment solution for SMEs, the Government of India has been promoting setting up of Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) and the country today has over 190 such treatment plants. The key issues/aspects related to skills of ETP/CETP operators (Helpers and Technicians) are:

□ ETPs/CETPs operators of SIIDCUL Industrial Estate lack the certified/skilled operators in industries. □ Government of India is promoting skills development of ETPs/CETPs operators (Helpers and

Technicians) in industries. □ 7 training institutions have been affiliated by SCGJ/NSDC for building the capacity of ETPs/CETPs

operators.

Proposed measures:


□ Skills development programmes (2 rounds in 2016/17) are to be organized for 60 helpers and 60 technicians by GIZ.

□ The performance of operators need to be analysed and monitored before and after skills development programmes.

□ Skills competition was organised for trained teams at IFAT trade fair at Mumbai on Sept. 30, 2016.

Expected outcome:

□ Availability of certified skilled technicians and helpers in IIE Haridwar for improved operation and management of ETPs/CETP.

□ Reduction of environmental pollution by 20 % at the selected ETPs/CETP, measured by the change of parameters as pH, BOD, COD, TDS, TSS etc. with respect to baselines, established at the start of the project.

□ Occupational mapping is completed to identify jobs in industrial wastewater treatment in line with the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) levels so that SCGJ can come up with skills development packages.

Progress:

□ Occupational Mapping A detailed study about all the levels of jobs in industrial waste water operation and management has been completed through national consultants hired by GIZ and submitted to stakeholders for feedback.

□ Qualification Packages (QPs) – ETP/CETP Operators The Qualification Packages for technicians and helpers of wastewater treatment plants have been brought up by the Skill Council for Green Jobs (SCGJ)/National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC). http://www.nsdcindia.org/sites/default/files/files/Wastewater_treatment_Plant_Helper.pdf http://www.nsdcindia.org/sites/default/files/files/Wastewater_treatment_Plant_Technician.pdf

The course was conducted by a senior German skilling expert from DWA. Refer to: http://seip.igep.in/e63552/e64605/e64606/

Activity 4: Other activities for IIE Haridwar/Uttarakhand

Key issues: The other key issues and status related to IIE Haridwar are:

□ IIE Haridwar is lacking a well-defined management structure for managing the industrial estate an infrastructure & services.

□ Uttarakhand has over 100 industrial areas. Amount of pollution contribution from these industrial area to River Ganga is unclear. There is no comprehensive action plan for controlling industrial pollution to River Ganga.

□ There is inadequate awareness and participation by industries for environmental improvement in IIE Haridwar.

Proposed measures:


□ Development of proposals on management structures for IIE Haridwar by the German experts based in international experiences.

□ Inventory of industrial areas, and GIS based mapping of industrial pollution and drainage of Ganga basin with spatial and attribute data.

□ Strategic/Action Plan is to be developed for industrial pollution control to River Ganga. □ Environmental drives, workshops, meetings, conferences are to be organised for increasing

awareness and information/knowledge sharing.

Expected outcome:

□ Improved management structures are installed for IIE Haridwar. □ GIS based database is available with spatial and attribute data for industrial pollution vis-a-vis

Ganga basin. □ Strategic/Action Plan is to be developed for industrial pollution control to River Ganga. □ Increased environmental awareness and participation by industries, leading to reduction of

environmental pollution by 20 % at the selected ETPs/CETP, measured by the change of parameters as pH, BOD, COD, TDS, TSS etc. with respect to baselines, established at the start of the project.

Progress:

Data collection/surveys/studies

□ IIT Roorkee was engaged by GIZ and a rapid pollution assessment study has been completed. □ IDEC, Bangalore was engaged by GIZ and an economic assessment study on CETP was

conducted. □ GIS based mapping has been initiated for IIE Haridwar industries.

15 | P a g e

Environment Drive

An environment drive was also prepared for IIE Haridwar, however, it was only notionally completed.

16 | P a g e

Annexure 3: SEIP Project Complementary Activities □ Environmental Technology

Platform

An Environmental Technology Platform is planned to be set up through a private sector on a viable business model, for facilitating information on technologies related industrial waste and wastewater, and to facilitate technology transfer.

□ Green rating and certification system for industrial areas

A green rating and certification system is proposed to be developed for industrial areas so that these serve as benchmarks for planning new industrial area or retrofitting old industrial areas, besides being able to assess how good or bad is an industrial area from environment and sustainability perspective.

□ Policy framework/guidelines/ plans/programmes

The SEIP project will work on measures, policies, plans and promotional funding schemes on the national level and in selected states to support the promotion of an efficient, environment and climate friendly industrial development.

□ Management structures for industrial areas

The existing industrial areas in India and specifically those covered under SEIP Project (GIDC Estate Vapi, SIIDCUL IIE Haridwar and DSIIDC’s industrial areas in Delhi) do not have clearly defined management structures to manage the industrial areas. Hence, planning and managing of the infrastructure and services in these industrial areas is becoming difficult. The SEIP project proposes to come up with viable solutions based on Indian and international experiences.

□ Online monitoring systems for industrial wastewater

The environmental regulatory agencies (CPCB/SPCBs) have been constantly tightening the monitoring systems so that not only the conditions of wastewater discharges from industries and industrial; areas can be checked, but also the defaulters can be identified and actions taken. Recently, CPCB has suggested online monitoring systems to be installed by the industries and CETPs. However, there are a number of problems associated with choosing the right equipment, after sales services, calibration of equipment etc. CPCB and SPCBs are also working on monitoring of receiving water bodies, such as River Ganga, River Yamuna and River Damanganga that receive industrial wastewater. The SEIP project will work on solutions for improved online monitoring systems, which would help in better monitoring of the pollution levels and improvements from time to time.

□ Skills development for operators (technicians, helpers) of industrial wastewater treatment plants

The industrial wastewater treatment plants has several jobs associated, viz. support staff, supervisory staff, managerial staff etc. depending on the size of the treatment plants. In association with the Skill Council for Green Jobs of the National Skill Development Corporation, the SEIP project is working on skills development for technicians and helpers of the ETPs/CETPs in Vapi, Haridwar and Delhi. The improved skills are expected to improve the operation of the treatment plants, thereby reducing pollution levels.
