The total sound power level, Lw, of a DG set should be less than, 94+10 log₁₀, (KVA), dB (A), at the manufacturing stage, where, KVA is the nominal power rating of a DG set.

This level should fall by 5 dB (A) every five years, till 2007, i.e., in 2002 and then in 2007.

(B) Mandatory acoustic enclosure/accoustic treatment of room for stationary DG sets (5 KVA and above).

Noise from the DG set should be controlled by providing an accoustic enclosure or by treating the room acoustically.

The acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment of the room should be designed for minimum 25 dB (A) Insertion Loss or for meeting the ambient noise standards, whichever is on the hi-her side (if the actual ambient noise is on the higher side, it may not be possible to check the performance of the acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment. Under such circumstances the performance may be checked for noise reduction upto actual ambient noise level, preferably, in the night-time). The measurement for insertion loss may be done at different points at 0.5m from the acoustic enclosure/room, and then averaged.

The DG set should also be provided with proper exhaust muffler with insertion loss of minimum 25 dB (A).

(C) Guidelines for the manufacturers/users of DG sets (5 KVA and above).

01 The manufacturer should offer to the user a standard acoustic enclosure of 25 dB (A) insertion loss and also a suitable exhaust muffler with insertion loss of 25 dB (A).

02 The user should make efforts to bring down the noise levels due to the DG set, outside his premises, within the ambient noise requirements by proper sitting and control measures.

03 The manufacturer should furnish noise power levels of the unsilenced DG sets as per standards prescribed under (A).

04 The total sound power level of a DG set, at the users end, shall be within 2 dB(A) of the total sound power level of the DG set, at the manufacturing stage, as prescribed under (A).

05 installation of a DG set must be strictly in compliance with the recommendations of the DG set manufacturer.

06 A proper routine and preventive maintenance procedure for the DG set should be set and followed in consultation with the DG set manufacturer which would help prevent noise levels of tile DG set from deteriorating with use.

84. Temperature limit for discharge of condenser cooling water from Thermal Power Plant.

A: New thermal power plants commissioned after June 1, 1999:

New thermal power plants, which will be using water from rivers/ lakes/reservoirs, shall install cooling towers irrespective of location and capacity. Thermal power plants which will use sea water for cooling purposes, the condition below will apply.

B: New projects in coastal areas using sea water:

The thermal power plants using sea water should adopt suitable system to reduce water temperature at the final discharge point so that the resultant rise in the temperature of receiving water does not exceed 7⁰C over and above the ambient temperature of the receiving water bodies.

C: Existing thermal power plants:

Rise in temperature of condenser cooling water from inlet to the outlet of condenser shall not be more than 10⁰C.

D: Guidelines for discharge point:

(1) The discharge point shall preferably be located at the bottom of the water body at mid-stream for proper dispersion of thermal discharge.

(2) In case of discharge of cooling water into sea, proper marine outfall shall be designed to achieve the prescribed standards. The point of discharge may be selected in consultation with the concerned State authorities/NIO.

(3) No cooling water discharge shall be permitted in estuaries or near ecologically sensitive areas such as mangroves, coral reefs/spawning and breeding grounds of aquatic flora and fauna.

86. Water quality standards for coastal waters marine outfalls.

In a coastal segment marine water is subjected to several types of uses. Depending on the types of uses and activities, water quality criteria have been specified to determine its suitability for a particular purpose. Among the various types of uses there is one use that demands highest level of water quality/purity and that is termed a “designated best use” in that stretch of the coastal segment. Based on this, the primary water quality criteria haves been specified for following five designated best uses-.

Class	Designated best use
SW-1 (See Table 1.1)	Salt pans, shell fishing, mariculture and ecologically sensitive zone.
SW-II (See Table 1.2)	Bathing, contact water sports and commercial fishing.
SW-III (See Table 1.3).	Industrial cooling, recreation (non-contact) and aesthetics.
SW-IV (See Table 1.4).	Harbour.
SW-V (See Table 1.5).	Navigation and controlled waste disposal.

The standards along with rationale/remarks for various parameters, for different designated best uses, are given in Tables 1.1 to 1.5

ANNEXURE I

(For the purposes of Parts A, B and C)

The State Boards shall follow the following guidelines in enforcing the standards specified under Schedule VI: -

1. The waste waters and gases are to be treated with the best available technology ¹[(BAT)] in order to achieve the prescribed standards.

2. The industries need to be encouraged for recycling and reuse of waste materials as far as practicable in order to minimise the discharge of wastes into the environment.

3. The industries are to be encouraged for recovery of biogas, energy and reusable materials.

4. While permitting the discharge of effluents and omissions into the environment, State Boards have to take into account the assimilative capacities of the receiving bodies, especially water bodies so that quality of the intended use of the receiving water is not affected. Where such quality is likely to be affected, discharges should not be allowed into water bodies.

5. The Central and State Boards shall put emphasis on the implementation of clean technologies by the industries in order to increase fuel efficiency and reduce the generation of environmental pollutants.

6. All efforts should be made to remove colour and unpleasant odour as for as practicable.

7. The standards mentioned in this Schedule ¹[shall also apply to all other ¹[effluents] discharged such as] mining, and mineral processing activities and sewage.

8. The limit given for the total concentration of mercury in the final effluent of caustic soda industry, is for the combined effluent from (a) Cell house, (b) Brine plant, (c) Clorine handling, (d) Hydrogen handling, and (e) Hydro chloric acid plant.

²[Omitted]

10. All effluents discharged including from the industries such as cotton textile, composite woollen mills, synthetic rubber, small pulp and paper, natural rubber, petrochemicals, tanneries, paint, dyes, slaughter houses, food & fruit processing and dairy ¹[industries] into surface waters shall conform to the BOD limits specified above, namely, 30 mg/]. For discharge of an effluent having a BOD more than 30 mg/I, the standards shall conform to those given above for other receiving bodies, namely, sewers, coastal waters and land for irrigation.

³[***]

12. In case of fertilizer industry the limits in respect of chromium and ¹[fluoride] shall be complied with at the outlet of chromium and ¹[fluoride] removal units respectively.

13. In case of pesticides:

(a) The limits should be complied with at the end of treatment plant before dilution.

(b) Bio-assay test should be carried out with the available species of fish in the receiving water, the COD limits to be specified in the consent conditions should be correlated with the BOD limits.

(c) In case metabolities and isomers of the Pesticides in the given list are found in significant concentrations, standards should be prescribed for these also in the same concentration as the individual pesticides.

(d) Industries are required to analyse pesticides in waste water by advanced analytical methods such as GLC/HPLC.

¹[14. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration in a treated effluent, if observed to be persistently greater than 250 mg/l before disposal to any receiving body (public sewer, land for irrigation, inland surface water and marine coastal areas), such industrial units are required to identify chemicals causing the same. In case these are found to be toxic as defined in the Schedule I of the Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989 the State Boards in such cases shall direct the industries to install tertiary treatment stipulating time limit.

15. Standards specified in Part A of Schedule VI for discharge of effluents into the public sewer shall be applicable only if such sewer lead to a secondary treatment including biological treatment system, otherwise these discharge into sewers shall be treated as discharge into inland surface waters.]
