1 Introduction
1.1 General This report presents Annexure 4a to the Key output Final Report Task 1. In this Task the Review of the nature and type of hazardous waste polluted sites in In-dia is given as a part of the ‘Development of Methodologies for National Pro-gramme for Rehabilitation of Polluted Sites in India’. The objective of Task 1 is to review the available inventory on hazardous waste polluted sites and understand the nature of polluted sites in India. The Key out-put is the report, presenting both a thorough insight in the nature and types of all polluted sites in India and a typology of probably polluted sites in India. For these objectives in this task the available inventory on hazardous polluted sites is inventoried and analysed. The results are presented in the Key output Final Report of Task 1. This Annexure to that report includes the site factsheets, for background read-ing only. The purpose of the factsheets is an intermediate step in the under-standing of the sites in India and not to give an accurate description of all indi-vidual sites in India as such. For this purpose the reader is referred to the As-signment 1 database which will be developed for that reason specifically. 1.2 Data sources The site factsheets were drawn up on sites selected from the following site in-ventories:
List of 12 priority contaminated dump sites (CPCB, no specific reference);
List of 25 hazardous waste dump sites (CPCB , no specific reference);
Reports available on some of the sites.
Note. Not all sites from these lists were used to make a site factsheet, because the scope of the factsheets is not to give a description of all individual contami-nated sites in India as such, but to support the analysis of the different types of such sites in India. The site factsheets are presented in the next section of this Annexure report.

Endosulfan: alpha Endosulfan is
visible in surface water, sedi-
ment and one soil sample, but
beta-Endosulfan and Endosulfan
sulphate are not detected in any
of the samples. The Endosulfan
metabolite Endosulfan lactone is
visible in one of the two soil
samples, in the sediment sam-
ple and in the groundwater
sample.
Dicofol: An unknown metabolite
of Dicifol is visible in all the 3 soil
samples analysed and in the
groundwater sample.
Other organochlorine com-
pounds like Heptachlor, Hepta-
chlor epoxide or Methoxychlor
were
not detected at all.
MTBT, regarded as a character-
istic metabolite for the
benzothiazol compounds pro-
duced by Merchem, was not
visible.

Additional Details as per MPPCB Report:
• The industry was engaged in manufacturing Vitamin-C and sorbitol. • The industry was generating ETP sludge to the tune of 109.5MT/A & 22MT/A Nickel sludge. • The industry is closed since 2000 and expected to have accumulated waste in its premises. Presently under custodian of Bank of India as per the instruction of Hon. Bombay High Court, hence entry is restricted. • But there is possibility that industry might have disposed off some waste in the premises of the industry which had to be verified by monitoring of soil, sub-soil and UG waste.

M/s. Sajjan Chemical & Investment (P) Ltd., Ratlam was engaged in themanufacture of H-acid, G-acid and is closed since20.06.1999. • The industry was generating: 1000MT/A of Gypsum sludge, 410MT/A Iron Sludge4000MT/A of Sodium Sulphate & 1500MT/A of incinerated ash as hazardouswastes. • Some of the wastes were being disposed off in khasara No 469/1 Kandarwasa mine. The incinerated ash was stored at plot No 61B, Industrial area. • Presently all structures have been dismantled and equipments, machinery and allscrap materials have been removed from the site. • Waste debris are still lying in underground storage tanks & sheds within &near byto factory premises. • Legal action under EPA has been filed in CJM, Ratlam.

Additional Details as per RPCB Report:
The State Board has identified only one hazardous waste dump site in the State at Bichhadi, Udaipur. M/s Hindustan Agro Chemicals Ltd., Bhicchadi, Udaipur was in operation up to 1996 & discharged/dumped its hazardous waste generated by it and its subsidiary units namely M/s Silver Chemicals, M/s Jyoti Chemi-cals, M/s Phosphate India & M/s Rajasthan Multi Fertilizers in and around the premises of the industry. These units were manufacturing H-Acid, Sulphuric Acid, Oleum, Chlorosulphonic Acid, Phosphatic Fertiliz-ers & other chemical. The units were closed down by the orders dated 13.2.1996 of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the Writ Petition Civil No. 967/89- Indian Council for Enviro legal Action V/s. Union of India & others. The task of remediation of the

Mercury pollution
Air and water-borne mercury emissions have contaminated large areas of Kodaikanal and sur-rounding forests. A study conducted by the Department of Atomic Energy confirmed that Kodaikanal Lake has been contaminated by mercury emissions.,
[22][23]
Mercury pollution was reported in Kodaikanal which affected lakes in the area. The causes, originating from a Hindustan Lever thermometer factory nearby, were reported to be dispersal of elemental mercury to the atmosphere from improper storage and dispersal to water from sur-face effluents from the factory. Apart from tests conducted on Kodaikanal lake, moss samples collected from trees surrounding the Berijam Lake, located 20 km (12.4 mi) from the factory were also tested. This showed mercury level in the range of 0.2 µg/kg, while in Kodaikanal lake the lichen and moss levels were 7.9 µg/kg and 8.3 µg/kg, respectively. Fish samples tested from the Kodaikanal lake also showed Hg level in the range of 120 to 290 mg/kg confirming that pol-lution of the lake had taken place due to mercury emissions from the factory.
[24]
The Hindustan Unilever thermometer factory caused widespread mercury pollution through im-proper disposal of broken thermometer waste containing large quantities of mercury. The facto-ry sold much of this waste to a junkyard in Kodaikanal and also dumped large quantities in the forest behind the factory. The factory was eventually closed in 2001 after 18 years of operation. Hindustan Lever, have used considerable legal maneuvering to avoid paying compensation the ex-workers and their families, many of whom died or became physically handicapped as a result of mercury poisoning.
[25][26]
The ex-workers have joined to form the 559-strong Ex-Mercury Employees Welfare Association and in 2006 filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) suit in the Madras High Court. The association wants an economic rehabilitation scheme and a healthcare treatment and monitoring pro-gramme at the company's expense for everyone who ever worked in the factory. It also wants the company prosecuted. Hindustan Unilever denies that any of the health problems of the workers or their families was the result of mercury exposure in the factory. In 2010 the workers were still fighting for compensation.
[27]
June 2007 the Madras High Court constituted a five-member expert committee to decide on the mercury workers health claims. The last court hearing was in June 2008. The committee later failed to find sufficient evidence to link the current clinical condition of the factory workers to past mercury exposure in the factory.
[28]
Additional site remediation studies are being undertaken by national institutions, as desired by the Tamil Nadu pollution Control Board (TNPCB) and the Court's Scientific Experts Committee (SEC) during the project review meeting in January 2010. IIT Delhi is revalidating the risk as-sessment study and site specific clean-up standard; National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow is studying impact on trees and preservation of trees; and Centre for Soil and Water Conservation Research and Training Institute, Ooty is studying the impact on soil and soil ero-sion. Based on the above study findings, results of remediation trials and recommendation of SEC, the TNPCB will take a final decision on the clean-up standard. Hindustan Unilever Ltd. (HUL) will commence soil remediation work at the factory site once
