CENTRAL POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

DELHI 110 032

National Policy on Online

Monitoring
In National Environment Policy- 2006
it is envisaged that to strengthen the
testing infrastructure and network for
monitoring
ambient
environmental
quality and progressively ensure realtime, and online availability of the
monitoring data

Goals of Online environmental monitoring

system
Improved control over impacts on the environment
Higher environmental awareness
Increased
management
responsibility
for
regulatory compliance
Self Monitoring mechanism within the industries
Increased cost-effectiveness (minimize inspection)
Increased public access to information(Public
Domain)

Target of Online environmental

monitoring system
Directions u/s 18 (1) (b) were issued on February 05,
2014 to all the Chairman of SPCBS and PCCs to
direct industry for installation of online emission and
effluent monitoring system by March 31,2015.
Sectors covered:

All 17 category industry- 3206 Units

CETPs - 175
Common Hazardous waste Incinerator25
Common Bio Medical Waste Incinerator179

Role of the SPCBs/PCCs

SPCBs and PCCs are required to ensure installation and
regular operation of the requisite pollution control facilities in
the polluting industries.
SPCBs/PCCs need to inculcate habit of self monitoring
mechanism within the industries for complying the prescribed
standards and this can be achieved by the methods like
installing online effluent and emission monitoring devices.
Some of the SPCBs like TNPCB,GPCB have already given
specific conditions in consent to operate of 17 categories of
highly polluting industries/ and Common Hazardous waste
and Biomedical waste incinerators to install continuous
emission and effluent monitoring systems.
Public authorities will be responsible for assessing the
correct implementation of the enterprise environmental
monitoring programmes

Role of the SPCBs/PCCs

contd...
Enterprise environmental monitoring is
meant to replace government supervision.

not

The ground truthing of the values indicated by

the online devices need to be done before
bringing them in public domain
For regulatory purposes and for purposes of
actions to be taken against non-complying
industries/facilities, the existing methods of
sampling, analysis and related procedures under
the existing statutes need to be continued

Role of Industry

Continuous effluent and emission monitoring devices

will be installed in those industries which are
continuously letting out effluents and emissions out of
their premises.
Connect and upload the online emission and effluent
monitoring data at SPCBs/PCCs and CPCB server in a
time bound manner but not later than by March
31,2015.
To ensure regular maintenance and operation of the
online system with tamper proof mechanism having
facilities for online calibration.
To submit bank guarantee of 25 % of the cost of online
monitoring systems (emission and effluent whichever
applicable) for ensuring timely installation of online
monitoring systems within 90 days from the date of
receipt of directions issued by SPCBs/PCCs

Action taken by SPCBs /PCCs

UPPCB has issued the directions u/s 33 A of the
Water Act & u/s 31A of the Air Act to the
industries.
Delhi PCC has issued the directions to the 17
category of polluting industries, CETPs, Delhi Jal
Board (for Sewage Treatment plants).
Himachal Pradesh SPCB has issued direction to
the M/s Shivalik Solid Waste Management Ltd.,
for installation of online monitoring system in
common Hazardous Waste Incinerator.
WBPCB has issued directions all the 17 category
of industries, CETP,CBMWI,CHWI

Action taken by SPCBs /PCCs contd....
