Sub: -Collection of effluent samples of the industries which are discharging
effluent having COD of more than permissible limit into CETP inlet.
Ref: - 1. Guidelines of Oct. 2001 regarding management, operation and
maintenance of CETP published by CPCB.
2. Performance audit of MPCB for 2017-2022 carried out by Office of the
Principal Accountant General ( Audit)-Il, Maharashtra
During the performance audit period (2017-2022) audit officials had raised
issue of non levy of penalty against defaulting industries in CETP Thane Belapur
industrial area and industries in MIDC Waluj area
There are various Common Effiuent Treatment Plant (CETP) operating in the
state of Maharashtra, These CETP are having their team who are collecting
industrial effluent samples of their member industries regularly in the absence of
MPCB officers. After collection of these samples, said samples are analyzed by
CETP in their own laboratory. CETP is observing industries which are discharging
effluent which are exceeding the permissible limit into CETP inlet. And thus CETP
is generating the record of such defaulting industries. This data/record of defaulting
industries is regularly communicated to MPCB for further action. However it is
observed that some of the CETP's are not communicating their data to respective
RO& SRO in time on regular basis.
In view of above, all CETP’s shall regularly submit their information about
defaulting industries to respective RO& SRO in time on regular basis in the first
week of every month
Itis directed to all RO/SRO to collect the effluent samples of those industries
which are communicated by CETP’s as defaulting industries ie which are
discharging effluent having COD of more than permissible limit into CETP inlet as
per the guidelines issued by CPCB in this regard. After the receipt of report from
MPCB laboratory, further necessary legal action shall be initiated against above
said defaulting industries and. action taken against these industries shall be
communicated to CETP.
Page 1 of 2 Similarly CETP management is authorized to impose penal charges against their
defaulting member industries as per Guidelines issued by CPCB in October 2001
regarding management, operation and maintenance of CETP.
Above circular shall be followed scrupulously.
