Section 98 in The Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986

98. Guidelines for Pollution Control in Ginning Mills.-

Measures for Noise Control-
(i)Creating separate soundproof enclosures for the fans within the ginning area
(ii)Keeping the fans outside the ginning room in separate enclosures
(iii)Roller gins may be covered by sound proof enclosures and use of pneumatic feeding of raw cotton while suction of ginned cotton is introduced to considerably reduce the dust pollution level
Measures for Dust Control-
(i)The fugitive emission can be largely controlled by employing mechanical or pneumatic handling of raw material and ginned material through covered ducts and providing overhead hoods connected to exhaust through ducts and filters; use of lifting platforms for bale formers
(ii)The overhead hoods with exhaust arrangement can be provided at:
(a)The saw-ginning machine where manual handling to maintain proper feeding in the machine
(b)At the feeding point of the roller ginning machine when manual feeding is carried out
(c)At the collection points of ginned cotton from saw ginning condenser.

Definitions:
(a)*dB(A) Leq denotes the time weighted average of the level of sound in decibels on scale A which is relatable to human hearing. A day time from 6.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. and night time from 10.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. are considered for time weighted average.
(b)"A", in dB(A) Leq, denotes the frequency weighting in the measurement of noise and corresponds to frequency response characteristics of the human ear (The range of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20 kHz).
(c)A "decibel" is a unit in which noise is measured.
(d)Leq: It is energy mean of the noise level over a specified period.
(e)Busy Airport - For the purpose of noise management at airports, a busy airport shall be defined as "a civil airport which has more than 50,000 aircraft movements per year (a movement being a take-off or a landing)" excluding those purely for training purposes on light aircraft.
(f)Take-off - A phase of flight from the application of takeoff power to an altitude of final take-off segment.
(g)Landing - A phase of flight from the beginning of the landing flare until aircraft exits the landing runway comes to a stop on the runway, or when power is applied for takeoff in the case of a touch-andgo landing.
(h)Lmax is unit for aircraft maximum noise level in units dB(A) which is maximum or peak noise value for aircrafts at the monitoring location in accordance with the noise standards notified by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation for respective airports.
(i)Other Airports - an airport having more than 15000 but less than 50000 aircraft movement annually.
(j)Proposed Airports - airport that is not functional yet and is under development.
Note : (i) Day time shall mean from 6.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m and night time shall mean from 10.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m.
(ii)The above specified limits shall have a tolerance limit of 10dB (A) Leq.
(iii)The specified limit excludes defense aircraft and aircraft landing and take-off noise from all runways and aircraft engine/ground run-ups, helipad locations earmarked by Airport Operator for this purpose.
(iv)However, the limit for aircraft noise as Lmax will be notified by the airport operator with approval of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation at the aircraft noise monitoring locations installed by the airports as mentioned in paragraph 1 of this notification.
(v)The noise limits specified in above shall replace and supersede the ambient air quality in respect of noise limits of the following existing zones:
(a)Silence;
(b)Residential; and
(c)Commercial areas;
(vi)As specified in the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 in the areas falling directly under Airport Noise Zone.
(vii)The noise standards within the overall boundary of airports shall be applicable as Industrial Areas i.e. day time 75 dB (A) Leq and night time 70 db (A) Leq as per the Noise (Regulation and Control) Rules 2000 and shall be measured at different points of airport boundary and then averaged.
(viii)These standards will not be applicable to a civil airport which has less than 15,000 aircraft movement annually.
