pollution control and improved management. Several critical issues in the field of
environment are being tackled by the Board through its existing Regional Offices located at
Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Bharuch, Surat, Vapi, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Godhra, Mehsana,
Bhavnagar, Bhuj, Nadiad and Junagadh.
Stress is laid on environmental infrastructures to meet challenges of environmental
pollution under the ‘Swarnim Gujarat’ programmes of Government of Gujarat. Though
basic functions of the Board is remained as regulatory, it has also been organising various
awareness programmes, from time to time on local issues of municipal solid wastes, bio-
medical wastes, plastic issues besides water, air and land pollution generated from various
industrial clusters. Efforts are being made for pollution control with a view to minimize and
prevent pollution.
The GPCB, Head Office, Gandhinagar has been registered by the BIS- Bureau of
Indian Standards, Delhi under the Quality Management Systems in accordance with IS/ISO
9001:2000.
The Board continued to make joint efforts with concerned Government offices,
Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, hospitals, towns and municipalities, educational
institutions, Industries Associations. etc. Awareness programmes have helped to be an
effective tool in detecting and controlling the environmental pollution.
In the field of e-Governance programme of GPCB, vizly. XGN (eXtended Green
Node) was launched by Shri Mangubhai Patel, Hon'ble Minister, Tribal Development,
Forest & Environment on 5th June- the World Environment Day, 2008. During the year
under the report, the XGN facility has also been introduced to facilitate filing returns under
the Water Cess Act, 1977, and obtaining an online assessment orders. Implementation of
this XGN software has been awarded a Silver Award by the Department of Administrative
Reforms and Public Grievance, Government of India on 18.2.2010. The Board has been
progressing in the field of e-governance.
During the period under report, the Chief Secretary to the Government of Gujarat
who is also the Chairperson of the Task Force for implementation of the Air Action Plan
reviewed the action taken and efforts made to arrive at successful results in reducing
pollution in Ahmedabad city. As per report of the CPCB, Delhi, 85 cities in India
monitored periodically, to record RSPM [Respirable suspended particulate matter] level,
shows the ranking of Ahmedabad continuously improved from 4th in year 2001 to 13th in
year 2005, 43rd in year 2006 and 66th in year 2008, position. EPCA (EPCA popularly
known as ‘Bhurelal Committee’) mentioned the progress made in the implementation of the
Air Action Plan for Ahmedabad as satisfactory.
i
Similarly the District level Task Force headed by District Collectors have also
continued to monitor Air Action Plan for the towns of Vapi, Surat, Ankleshwar, Vadodara
and Rajkot, periodically. In case of Vadodara city, trend in air quality particularly respirable
air pollutant has shown remarkable improvement.
Despite pro-active efforts by various Government Authorities, the MoEF, GoI issued
office memorandum dt.13.1.2010 declared Ankleshwar, Vapi, Ahmedabad, Vatva,
Bhavnagar and Junagadh as critically polluted areas among few others in the country. An
appeal was made during various meetings organised with industries associations to
industrialist to take necessary pollution control measures, adopt clean technology, reduce
wastes or else face action. Meetings were also held with NGOs and public participation
was sought from public. Copy of this appeal displayed at all the offices of the Board. Of
course, MoEF issued revised order dated 15.3.02010 and declared Ankleshwar, Panoli,
Vapi, Odhav, Naroda, Vatva, Narol industrial area, Chitra-Bhavnagar and few industrial
pockets of Junagadh as critically polluted areas. Action Plans for each of these places are
being prepared by the Board in consultation with F&ED, Govt. of Gujarat, CPCB - Delhi
and MoEF, GoI in addition to other stackholders like the GIDC, GCPC and concerned
industries associations / CETP operators.
During the year under report, second round of departmental examinations were
conducted as per GPCB (Recruitment) Rules, 2007. This has paved way for elevating few
Class I, II & Class III employees to higher posts. This has further boost their morals, as they
were awaiting their dues past many years. Mostly all officers and employees have passed
their respective computer examination through State Government machinery.
During the year under report, the Board continued to organise awareness
programmes including posters exhibitions, seminars in major towns and cities and
addressed another area of environmental importance i.e. educating all concerned people
including medical and para medical persons for effective implementation of Municipal solid
wastes, Bio-medical Wastes, plastic wastes issues, noise pollutions, etc.
The Board through its the Regional Offices co-ordinated with the District Authorities
and also participated in various District level programmes viz. District level mock drills,
video conferences held by District administration, District Collectorates and Municipal
Corporations, programmes of Nirmal Gujarat, Swarnim Gujarat, Vibrant Gujarat,
Consumer Protection Committee. The Lok Darbars Gram Sabha meetings have also helped
in addressing the Gram Sabha concerned of the public at large. The Board continued with
the system of holding review meetings for expediting clearance of the application including
the CCA-Consolidated Consent and Authorization.
GPCB together with the Forest & Environment Department in Government of
Gujarat and in co-ordination with other departments of State and Central Government has
been playing an affirmative role in tackling the problem related with pollution of air, water
and land.

6.10 The Municipal Solid Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules, 2000
The MSW (M & H) Rules 2000 came into force from 25.9.2000. It is obligatory on the part
of all the municipal authorities to arrange for collection, segregation, transportation and
suitable disposal of municipal wastes of the municipal towns/cities. They need to obtain
authorisation of the GPCB for the compliance of these Rules. Under these rules all
municipal authorities responsible for collection, segregation, storage, transportation,
processing & disposal of municipal solid wastes are covered.
The municipal authority or an operator of a facility needs to make an application in Form-I,
for grant of authorization for setting up of waste processing and disposal facility including
landfills, to the state Board.
As of now, there are 159 Nagarpalika, 7 Municipal Corporations, 5 Notified Areas and 1
Urban Development Authority in the State of Gujarat are identified by this Board, so far as
responsible authority to comply with the MSW Rules-2000.
The Board had granted authorisation with validity of five years to 152 local bodies which
expired on 31-12-2008. In this year 43 local bodies have applied for the authorisation under
MSW Rules-2000. Scrutinising the applications, Board has granted authorisation to 29
ULBs, refused to 14 ULBs. The Board continuously monitors the progress and action
initiated by local bodies. But response from Urban Local Bodies are poor. The Board also
took up the issue with the District Collectors and the Director of Municipalities to expedite
all urban bodies in implementing these rules.
The concept of common secured landfills is adopted in the State for treatment and disposal
of the Municipal Solid Waste generated in the towns and cities. The Government of Gujarat
has constituted a Nodal Agency, Gujarat Urban Development Company Ltd for
development of infrastructure for treatment, transportation and disposal. With detailed
study of the each and every municipalities, it is ultimately arrived on to provide treatment
22
facilities(i.e. vermi- composting) at the town level and to develop the regional landfill site
for the cluster of municipalities in @ 50km radius and connected with road network.
GUDC has initiated the preparation of operational plan for the implementation of MSW. It
is proposed to construct one common landfill site between seven or more towns. The land
identified located at fairly equal distance from these towns. The GUDC has divided area of
Gujarat in to four different regions and identified 24 clusters for Regional Landfill site for
different local bodies located in Gujarat. In addition 7 Municipal Corporations are
developing their individual landfill sites, Among them Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara
has commissioned the landfills, Rajkot Municipal Corporation is developing the landfill,
Jamnagar, Bhavnagar and Junagadh are in process to prepare DPR. It is also emphasised by
the Board to allow nearby towns, municipalities to dispose their non compostable
municipal waste at the landfills of Municipal Corporation. Details are as follows:

6.15. Water Quality Monitoring Programmes
1. GEMS Project
The Board assistsc the CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) in implementing the
GEMS (Global Environmental Monitoring System) project. The scope of this project
includes an assessment of the quality of water of the major rivers of the State, viz.
Narmada, Tapi, Mahi and Sabarmati.
As per the guidelines of the CPCB, 8 stations have been fixed, out of which 6 are for
monitoring the quality of surface water and the rest for monitoring of ground water
quality. The monitoring results under this project are submitted to the CPCB, New

On account of various discharge of wastewater in river, the quality is likely to

be adversely affected. It is therefore, necessary to monitor the quality of the various
river waters. This is a continuous project of previous years as approved by the CPCB
and known as MINARS (Monitoring of Indian National Aquatic Resources System)
Project.
The Board is monitoring the water quality from 70 sampling station located on
various rivers in the State. These rivers include Sabarmati, Meshwo, Anas, Mahi,
Panam, Narmada, Damanganga, Kolak, Par, Tapi, Ambica etc. Under this project
ground water quality and lake water quality are also monitored periodically.
The ground water quality monitoring stations are located at Ahmedabad, Vadodara,
Bhavnagar, Amreli, Junagadh, Rajkot, Surendranagar, Jamnagar, Bhuj, Palanpur,
Mehsana, Siddhpur, Himmatnagar, Nadiad, Dahod, Godhra, Ankleshwar, Surat,
Hazira, Valsad, and Vapi. The sampling stations included under the lake water
quality project are located at Kankaria lake and Chandola lake in Ahmedabad;
and Ajwa lake and Sursagar lake in Vadodara, Nalsarovar, Bindusarovar,

6.16. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Programme (AAQM)

Under the Ambient Air Quality Monitoring programme (AAQM) the Board continued to
monitor ambient air quality at Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Vapi, Bharuch and Rajkot.
The ambient air quality samples were collected as per the standard norms for ambient air
quality monitoring. The parameters determined during analysis included SPM, RSPM, SO2
and NOX. The data pertaining to the ambient air meteorological data were regularly
submitted to the CPCB [Central Pollution Control Board] for compilation and preparation
of report.
Note : The National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring project is re-launched and necessary actions
have been initiated to re-commission this project.
