1. INTRODUCTION

Clay bricks are produced in Rajasthan in small or cottage scale brick

kilns and clamps which operate seasonally. The raw materials in the

brick kilns include topsoil, coal, paddy husk, fly ash, wood & locally

available agro wastes to some extent. Brick manufacturing process

generates emissions discharged from the brick kilns. Brick kiln

emissions consists of mainly coal fines and dust particles. There are

other activities like mining/quarrying of clay, handling &

transportation of raw material/bricks which also contribute to air

pollution.

The process involved in the brick kilns is such that if appropriate

measures are not taken, it may lead to pollute air and besides impact

on land, soil, flora and fauna, hence it has been categorized as ‘RED’

category industry by the Board. It is, therefore, mandatory that brick

kiln units must adopt appropriate measures to prevent/control

discharge of pollutants in the air and must also have adequate

arrangement to control the particulate matter in the premises of the

unit itself.

Any project proponent intending to establish a brick kiln unit must

seek prior consent to establish under the Air (Prevention and Control

of Pollution) Act, 1981 before taking any step for establishing the

industry. Likewise, after establishing the brick kiln, the project

proponent must seek prior consent to operate before commissioning

the plant.

2. COMPETENT AUTHORITY

The State Board has delegated powers to Regional Officers of the

Board to grant or refuse applications for consent to establish and

consent to operate submitted under the provisions of Air (Prevention

& Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 (Air Act) for the brick kilns.

However, when a consent application is refused by Regional Officer,

the decision on the application submitted subsequently is taken by the

Head Office.

Therefore any person who intends to establish/operate a brick kiln

may submit application for consent to establish/operate at the

concerning Regional Office of the Board.

3. LOCATION OF LAND

A Brick Kiln unit can be established on a land owned by the promoter

(this also includes land taken on lease or agreement for at least 10

years) provided that:-

3.1 The land is not located within a radius of 1.5 km (aerial

distance) from abadi area of any revenue village as defined

under the provisions of Land Revenue Act.

Explanation – Revenue village is the village or Dhani notified

as such by Revenue Department of the State Government and

the distance is to be verified by concerned revenue officer not

below the rank of Tehsildar in the model format enclosed as

annexure -1.

3.2 The distance (aerial) of the nearest point of boundary of the

land from the State/ National Highway must be at least 100

meters, and from other roads at least 50 meters.

Explanation – Distance is to be measured from the boundary of

the road, to be verified by concerned revenue officer not below

the rank of Tehsildar in the model format enclosed as

annexure-1.

3.3 The distance (aerial) of the nearest point of boundary of the

land must be at least 500 m from National Park & Sanctuaries,

and 100 meters from Reserve Forest/Protected Forest.

Explanation- In cases where the claimed distance is equal or

marginally more than the above limit, the distance is to be

verified by the concerned Forest Officer not below the rank of

Range Officer in the model format enclosed as annexure –2

and/or annexure –3 as the case may be.

3.4 The distance (aerial) of the nearest point of boundary of the

land must be at least 500 meters from any Prominent Public

Sensitive places/ Prominent Places of Worship/ School/

Hospital/ Community Parks/ Notified Archaeological

Monuments.

below the rank of Tehsildar in the model format enclosed as

annexure -1.

3.5 The distance (aerial) of the nearest point of the land must be

atleast 1500 meters from the water body located in the down-

stream side. However, if brick kiln unit is likely to have

adverse effect on catchment area of the water body or is likely

to obstruct the flow path of a natural stream, drain, nullah, river

etc. even if the land is located beyond 1500 metre from such

water body, permission shall not be granted to establish the unit

on such land.

Explanation - The distance from water body must be verified by

concerned Assistant Engineer, Water Resources Department

(Irrigation) in the format enclosed as annexure –4.

Provided further that the above mentioned distance criteria shall

not be applicable for the existing brick kiln units which have been

established after obtaining valid consent from the State Board

prior to issuance of these guidelines and do not intend to expand

capacity.

Provided also that in case of units established after seeking

consent from the State Board, the consent shall not be renewed if

it is found that:-

(i) The local community has been experiencing the air pollution

from the emissions of the brick kiln, and/ or

(ii) The water flow to the water body in the downstream is

getting obstructed, and/ or

(iii) The project proponent has failed to comply with conditions

laid down in the consent.

4. LOCATION OF PLANT & MACHINARY

The minimum area of land for establishing a brick kiln unit should be

such that after establishing plant and machinery and leaving sufficient

space for material stock and movement of vehicles, enough space is

available all around for planting at least two rows of trees and shrubs

along the periphery as mentioned at para 12.

CIRCULAR

Entry no. 37 of schedule-I of Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 has stipulated that in

respect of stone crushing units, the concerned unit would be required to grow a green belt

along the periphery. The Board has also incorporated a condition of 33% of the unit’s area as

being required to be covered by plantation, while granting consent to these units to operate

under the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. However the numbers of trees,

species etc. and the manner of their plantation have not been specified by either the Board or

the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986. In view of the difficulty being experienced in

implementing this requirement, following clarification is hereby issued:-

1. Trees shall necessarily be planted along the periphery of the area in rows. The unit

may also take up additional plantation in other available open areas such as along

the road, on unused land etc.

2. The computation of the area under plantation shall be done on the basis of the

following norms:-

i. Tree species like Neem, Pipal, Jamun, Gulmohar etc. shall be deemed to

cover 25 M2 areas on maturity.

ii. Shrubs like Guava, Pomegranate, Jungle Jalebi etc. shall be deemed to cover

an area of 9 M2 on maturity.

The area likely to be covered by the plants mentioned above shall be computed accordingly.

The herbs which require continuous watering for their maintenance shall not be counted to

meet the norms though the can be planted by the management as per their need.

Illustration: In case of 10 no. of trees like Sehtoot, Siris, Shisham, Babool; 5 no. of

Shrubs like Eucalyptus, Ashok, Ber Kair and 20 no of Herbs like Rose, Mehandi,

Duranta, Merigold are planted the total area under plantation shall be computed as

follows:

Area covered by trees = 10 x 25 = 250 m2 Area covered by shrubs = 05 x 09 = 045 m2 Area covered by herbs = 20 x 00 = 000 m2 Total Area 295 m2
