Green Panel questions Environment Ministry
The National Green Tribunal has rapped the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) over compliance of conditions mentioned in environmental clearances granted for projects, saying the mechanism for monitoring environmental norms is inadequate. The green panel said compliance of conditions of environmental clearance must be monitored on periodical basis, at least once in a quarter. A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice AK Goel said there was poor monitoring and there are huge gaps in laying down of conditions and its enforcement. It asked the Environment Ministry to review and strengthen the mechanism for the purpose. The tribunal took note of an affidavit filed by the ministry which mentioned that there are certain proposals to strengthen the monitoring mechanism. The NGT said it only showed insensitivity to the vital constitutional obligation despite repeated directions. “Repeated plea of merely having such proposals, without effective enforcement on the ground can hardly be held to be satisfactory. Counsel for the MoEF states that there have been further meaningful steps, after filing of the affidavit but the same could not brought on record. We cannot accept such a statement. If steps have been actually taken, we fail to understand why the same could not be produced at least during the hearing. We record our dissatisfaction at the attitude of the MoEF on the subject,” the bench said. It directed the ministry to take effective steps to discharge its constitutional obligation to advance ‘Precautionary’ and ‘Sustainable Development’ principles and also the ‘Public Trust Doctrine’. “We need not repeat the observations with regard to the acknowledged deficiencies in the existing mechanism which urgently needs to be remedied. Let affidavit of compliance be filed before the next date by e-mail,” the bench said. The matter is listed for hearing on December 17. The directions came when the green panel was hearing a plea moved by petitioner Sandeep Mittal seeking stricter mechanisms to ensure compliance of conditions mentioned in environmental clearances granted for projects. Laying down conditions for EC based on appraisal is not enough unless compliance thereof is duly monitored and ensured with a view to achieve the said object, the plea said
Fire destroys 46 green lands in Uttarakhand
Amid the raging corona virus cases and locusts infestation across the nation, Uttarakhand was hit by yet another environmental disaster - the forest fire. The heatwave and dry spell across North India have reached the Himalayan forests of Uttarakhand and gutted acres of the green cover in a four-day-long fire recently. Firefighters tried to contain the flames while also being careful that the frontline workers or locals were not endangered as the state recently witnessed a rise in COVID-19 cases. According to reports, at least 46 forest fires have been raging in the state over the span of four days. Pictures and videos have been widely circulated on social media platforms. The state authorities are constantly making efforts to mitigate damages done by the fire.
Environmental compensation for sand mining
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on August 17, 2020, directed the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to file a report on the methodology decided for fixing environmental compensation in the matter of illegal sand mining. The committee had been asked to undertake scenario analysis and file its report within one month. The NGT order came in the wake of the CPCB report filed on January 30. The report considered two approaches for fixing environmental compensation. The Amicus had submitted that the method for determining compensation suggested was complex and missed the present ecological value. Choice of discount rates had further complexity. Direct compensation approach method was preferable, but needed to be modified. The NGT directed that the above suggestion should be looked into by the committee and thereafter the scale of compensation be finalised.
Dipka open cast coal mines
A brief summary of arguments was filed on behalf of Laxmi Chouhan before the NGT, explaining the reason for challenging the Environmental Clearance given for the expansion of Dipka Open Cast Coal Mines from 31 to 35 million tonnes per annum in Chhattisgarh. The EC was granted by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) on February 20, 2018, to the South Eastern Coalfields Ltd for the expansion. It was said that the grant of environmental clearance by the MoEF&CC was illegal, improper and irregular. It was the duty of the Expert Appraisal Committee to undertake a detailed scrutiny of the environment impact assessment (EIA) report and other documents, including public hearing proceedings, before grant of EC. The EAC permitted the expansion to take place without the mandatory public hearing. Even though the provision of the EIA Notification was mandatory, it was ignored by the EAC while allowing the expansion. The project had undertaken mining in 409 hectares of forest land in violation of the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, the report added.
Environment mgmt plan for Puri
Special attention should be given to the preparation of the environment management plan for Puri, Odisha, and it should be completed expeditiously and, as far as it may be practicable, within one year. The committee entrusted with the task should ensure that all the steps indicated in the status report be completed without fail in terms of the timeline stated. These were some of the directions passed by the bench of Justice Sonam Phintso Wangdi of the NGT in the original application filed by environmentalist Subhas Datta. The case related to construction of sewage treatment plant, laying of sewage line and improvement of the cremation ground in Puri as well as removal of sheds and unauthorised and illegal structures raised in the coastal regulation zone area.
Petrol pump in residential area
An application on the setting up of a petrol pump in Dehradun in violation of sitting guidelines was heard by the NGT on August 17. The district magistrate had allegedly ignored the guidelines and issued the no objection certificate. The NGT directed the constitution of a joint committee, comprising the Uttarakhand Environment Protection & Pollution Control Board; district magistrate, Dehradun; and the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority, Uttarakhand. The committee has to furnish a factual and action taken report in the matter within two months.-TTN
