(a) A CBWTF shall preferably be developed in a notified industrial area
without any requirement of buffer zone.
(b) A CBWTF can be located at a place reasonably far away from
notified residential and sensitive areas and should have a buffer
distance of preferably 500 m so that it shall have minimal impact on
these areas. In case of nonavailability of such a land, the buffer zone
distance from the notified residential area may by reduced to less than
500 m by SPCB/PCC without referring the matter to CPCB by
prescribing additional control measures such as (i) adoption of best
available technologies (BAT) by the proponent of CBWTF; (ii) prescribing
stringent standards for operation of the CBWTF by the SPCB; (iii)
adoption of zero liquid discharge by the CBWTF and (iv) in case of any
complaints from the public then CBWTF should prove that the facility is
not causing any adverse impact on environment and habitation in the
vicinity. If SPCB is not in a position to resolve the issue relating to buffer
zone while selecting the site for CBWTFs, in such a case, SPCBs may
refer the matter to CPCB.
(b) In case of upcoming or new CBWTFs (both in
municipal limits with population more than 25 lakh or in
rural areas), the land area requirement may be relaxed
(but in any case not less than 0.5 acre) by the SPCB
with additional control measures such as zero liquid
discharge, increase in stack height stringent emission
norms, odor control measures or any other measures felt
necessary by the prescribed authority on case-to case
basis, only in consultation with CPCB.
