(b) Coastal Areas :  

At least 1/2 km. from high tide line.  The stipulations made by Ministry of Environment  & forests Government of India in its  vide Notification No. S0 114(E), dated 19.02.1991, by Government of India, Ministry of Environment and Forests, issued under the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, shall be strictly adhered to.

6.

Land acquired shall be sufficiently large to provide for appropriate treatment of waste water still left for treatment after maximum possible reuse and recycle.  Reclaimed (treated waste) water shall be used to raise green belt and to create water body for aesthetics, recreation and if possible for aquaculture. The green belt shall be sufficiently wide around the boundary limit of the industry.  For industry having odour problem, it shall be minimum of 30 mtrs. wide.
7. Enough space should be provided for storage of solid waste, so that the same could be available for possible reuse.

Sheet/Zinc Sheet etc., the rotary screen to be completely closed leaving space at bottom for collection of the sieved jelly. Suitable exhaust and venting system of adequate capacity to be provided to guide the dust emanating from the crushers in to the staff through a cyclone to collect the dust.
    3. The conveyor belts, chutes especiously carrying smallest particles should be covered with semi circular M.S. Sheets and heaps shall be located in appropriate sheds Wherever possible with all possible arrangements to prevent escape of dust during loading and unloading operations. Also, suitable control measures like hood and cyclone system shall be provided.
    4. Suitable water sprinkling system shall be provided to reduce the dust from each dust generation area.
    5. Minimum 5 rows with a minimum 50 meters wide green belt of tall growing leafy trees should be planted around the crusher plant area to minimize dust and improve aesthetic appearance.
    6. Suitable safety measures shall be provided to protect workers from the ill effect of dust pollution.
    7. Suitable wind-breaking wall shall be provided to arrest the dust blown out of the premises.
    8. The road inside the crusher premises shall be metalled and water sprinkling arrangement shall be provided.
  3. Standards:
    1. Quantitative standards for the Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM)
      2. The suspended particulate matter contribution value at a distance of 40 meters from a controlled isolated as well as from a unit located in a cluster should be less than 600 µg/nm3. The measurements are to be conducted atleast twice a month for all the 12 months in a year and report submitted to the Board.
    2. The ambient Air quality adjacent to the boundary of the Stone Crushers shall confirm to the National Ambient Air quality standards prescribed under Air Act.
    3. Noise levels shall confirm to the Noise (Regulations and Control) Rules, 2002. In additions to the above, all the stone crushers shall comply to the standards prescribed under Environment (Protection) Act.
