5.2. CONSENT TO ESTABLISH
Consent to Establish is being issued for establishing new industrial units, hospitals and
other establishments and for expansion of existing ones after assessment of the significant
impacts of the industry/ establishment on the environment in total. Identification and
evaluation of the potential impacts of any developmental activity on the environment, help
in appropriate siting of industrial units and adoption of pollution control measures at the
planning stage itself. ‘Consent to Establish’ issued by the Board helps in achieving the
above task. The Board issues ‘consents’ with conditions to ensure safeguarding of the
environment through steps for pollution abatement to be taken prior to commissioning.
Consent is denied for establishment of the units that pose threat to the environment and to
human health.
5.3. INTEGRATION OF CLEARANCES
Separate clearances were being issued by the Board under each of the different
environmental statutes and for this, the applicants were statutorily bound to submit many
applications.The Board introduced a new procedure for issuing integrated clearances which
includes the aspects of water pollution, air pollution, biomedical waste management,
manufacture of plastic carry bags and hazardous waste handling and management. Instead
of separate application forms for obtaining consents (to establish and to operate) under the
Air and Water Acts, Authorization under the Biomedical Waste (Management and Handling)
Rules, Registration under Plastic Rules and Authorization under the Hazardous Waste
(Management and Handling) Rules the applicants will now require to submit single
integrated application form for clearance. This is implemented with effect from 15.06.2006

5.6. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BIOMEDICAL WASTE (MANAGEMENT
AND HANDLING) RULES,1998
Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, notified the Bio-
Medical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1998, under the Environmental
(Protection) Act, 1986. The said Rules came into effect from 20.07.1998. The prescribed
authority for enforcement of the provisions of the said Rules is the State Pollution Control
Board. As per Rule 8 of Bio-Medical Waste Rules every occupier of an institution generating,
collecting, Segregation, Packaging, transportation and storage shall obtain authorisation of
the Board. Integrated clearance issued by the Board includes current under Water Act/ Air
Act and authorisation under Bio-Medical Waste Rules.
5.6.1 Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment & Disposal Facility (CBMWTF)
Board is encouraging establishment of Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment
and Disposal Facilities (CBMWTF). One such common facility is functioning at Kanjikode
in Palakkad district namely IMAGE owned by Indian Medical Association. This facility
has 4 numbers of incinerators. Hospitals are handing over segregated solid bio-medical
waste to the common facilities for transportation, treatment and disposal. This CBMWTF
facility is being utilised by 5702 HCFs in the State.
Status of Bio-Medical waste Management and Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment
& Disposal Facilities as on 31.03.2014 is as follows.
(a) Total no. of Health care facilities: 5996
(b) Total no. of beds: 122377(c) No. of Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility/ Private agencies

A summary statement on progress made by municipal authorities in respect of land
fill sites is given below:
No. of landfill sites identified : -
No. of landfill sites constructed : nil
No. of landfill sites under construction : nil
Total quantity of municipal solid waste being scientifically land filled in landfills: nil
There is no scientific landfill constructed in the State. Dumping of rejects after
segregating the biodegradable waste and covering the same with earth is followed by many
local bodies as a measure to manage solid waste (rejects) generated, in absence of scientific
landfills.
5.7.2 Summary of action taken for implementation of the MSW Rules, 2000 in
the State.
There are 60 municipalities and 5 corporations in the State. The density of population
in the State is very high and the land is a scarce commodity. Moreover land available with
most of the ULBs are near to inhabited area. This has led to wide spread agitation and
resistance of local people in setting up and operating MSW treatment facilities. The MSW
plant of Thiruvananthapuram Corporation at Vilappilsala is closed since 2011 as a result of
public resistance. The issues are general in nature and faced by most of the ULBs. As the
MSW facilities of ULBs are far from satisfactory and as there is public protest from
neighbours in utilizing land for MSW treatment/ disposal, the State Government has
embarked on setting up facilities in a decentralised manner. Individual houses are encouraged
to provide pipe composting system, bio gas plants etc. Many ULBs have initiated action
in this area and have succeeded in establishing pipe compost facilities in several houses.

The Board noticed that some HCIs were disposing used syringes without shredding/mutation. In this regard, strict action was taken to ensure that the institutions using syringesand needles for health care provide on-site shredders to cut/ deface them and thereby avoidreuse of those items. Used needles and syringes from all health care institutions includinghospitals, clinics, clinical laboratories, veterinary institutions etc. shall be mutilated to preventreuse and then be disinfected and disposed as per the Bio-Medical Wastes (Managementand Handling) Rules. Violation of the said requirements is punishable with imprisonmentup to five years and fine upto Rs. 1 Lakh and the institution is liable to be directed to be
closed down.

A modified composting facility suitable for community level, namely, Thumboormuzhi model
is also successfully practised in some parts of the state. Bio gas plants are also provided in
many houses, schools, markets and other establishments where biodegradable waste are
generated. There is no door to door collection in most of the municipalities / corporations.
There are no common bins provided for collection of waste in many ULBs. The limited
quantity of waste collected by the ULBs are either taken to common plant site and dumped
and covered with earth after segregating the plastic or non biodegradable waste. As a result
of the above, quantity of waste collected and treated is reduced considerably. There are no
scientific land fill sites established in the State. Some of the existing dumpsites are being
capped. The plastic waste generated are collected and disposed of through the plastic
recycling units in the State, either through local bodies or through private agents.

5.10. ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF WATER CESS
As per the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act 1977, the specified
industries consuming water and authorities supplying water have to pay cess on the water
drawn by them. They have to submit monthly returns to the Member Secretary of the
Board who is the Assessing Authority. The returns are verified and the cess is assessed on
the basis of the purpose, quantity and rate of consumption and the quality of the effluent let
out. Rebate is allowed in cases where the water consumption limits and the effluent quality
limits are satisfied consistently. So far nearly 255 industries were brought under the purview
of the Water Cess Act. The cess assessed is collected through State Bank of Travancore
and remitted to the Consolidated Fund of India. The Government of India releases 80% of
the cess remitted to the State Board as its share. The water cess augments the resources of
the Central and State Pollution Control Boards and imbibes the spirit of conservation and
pollution control of the precious natural resource of water. The rebate forms an additional
incentive for those achieving pollution control standards.
In the year under report, an amount of Rs. 10727255/- was assessed and an
amount of Rs. 9859173/- was collected including arrears from the previous year. The
collected amount was remitted to MoEF, Government of India.
