c) to issue "consents to operate" to stone crushing units in uniform manner, e.g. indicating production capacities in tonnes/day, product types & other details.

d) to reflect actual quantity required/used by stone crushing units for various purposes, like dust suppression/sprinkling/ green belt development, in the consent issued to stone crushing units.

e) to revoke the consents for permanently closed and non-

existing units.

v. Poor maintenance of the metalled/pucca roads within the premises of individual stone crushing units. vi. In general, there is no demarcation of boundary of the stone crushing units. Distance between two stone crushing units at many places, was observed to be inadequate to disperse the dust particles, leading to overall visibly very high dust in the area.
Since the State Pollution Control Board is mandated to grant consent to operate and ensure the compliance of the conditions of the consent to operate, the members representing the State Pollution Control Board were requested by the Joint Committee to provide the status of the compliance of the conditions of the consent to operate and the action taken against the unit not complying with the prescribed norms, as directed by Hon'ble NGT.
The following is the status of the compliance of the siting criteria provided by ADC, Charkhi Dadri (Annexure-III), based on the verification done by the Revenue Department:
Out of 330 stone crushing units in the list provided by the State Pollution Control Board, 241 units have been verified by the Revenue Department wherein 34 stone crushing units were found to have been established in violation of the siting norms prescribed in the notification dated 11.05.2016. The remaining 89 units are getting verified at ground level by the Revenue Department until the finalisation of this report. Whereas, the compliance verification report received from DFO has mentioned the compliance of the notification w.r.t relevant parameter (Annexure-IV). It is mandatory for the stone crushing units to get the plan for development of green belt, approved from the State Forest Department, as per notification dated 11/05/2016. However, none of stone crushing unit, has obtained approval of the Green Belt Development Plan, from the Forest Department.

8. Mayur 8 Stone 10mm, 20mm & 3515 3972 457 600 Ng/m3 from source at 3 Crusher, Dust(250 MTD) to 10 meters Village Birhi Kalan An evaluation of the source emission monitoring of 08 stone crushing units indicated that although most of the individual stone crushing units are meeting the prescribed fugitive emission norms except one, the upwind concentration of fugitive emissions varied between 1000 ug/m 3 to 9444 ug/m3. High level of upwind concentration at various location seems to be the impact of inadequate distance between two stone crushing units, thereby necessitating the siting guidelines w.r.t. distance between two stone crushing units as observed and directed by Hon'ble National Green Tribunal. However, HSPCB has prescribed the minimum area of one acre for every stone crusher while in higher capacity units, 1.5 acre is the minimum area requirement.
