NOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 6(2)(D) OF THE ENVIRONMENT (PROTECI ION) ACT, 1986, READ WITH RULE 13 OF THE ENVIRONMENT (PROTECI ION) RULES, 1986 FOR THE PROHIBITION AND RESTRICTION ON THE HANDLING OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE IN DIFFERENT CASES.

S.O. 108(E).-Whereas a notification under clause (iii) of sub-rule (2) of rule 13 of the Environment (Protection), Rules, 1986, inviting objections from the concerned quarters within a period of sixty days from the date of publication of the said notification, against government's intention for the imposition of prohibition on benzidine-based dyes and its salts, was published in the Ministry of Environment and Forests, S.O. No. 881 (E), dated the 31st October, 1989.

And whereas no objection was received within the said period of sixty days;

Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (iv) of sub-rule (2) of rule 13 of the said rules, the Central Government hereby prohibits and restricts the use of benzidine-based dyes and its salts in the dying and colour processing industries all dyes and dye-intermediates containing benzidine and its derivatives shall be prohibited for "handling". The use of benzidine- based dyes, also called as benzidine-azo dyes, shall be required to be discontinued within three years from the date of issue of this notification.

Notification under section 3(2) (v) of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and rule 5(3) (a) of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 prohibiting storage of chemicals in Antop Hill in Bombay.

S.O. 136 (E).-Whereas a notification under sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 (Herein after referred to as the said rules) inviting objections against the imposition of prohibition on storage of chemicals in Anlop Hill in Bombay was published vide S.O. 852(E), dated the 7lh September, 1988;

And whereas an order under-, clause (d) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the said rules could not be issued within 120 days of the notification under clause (a) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the said rules because of the matter being subjudice under Writ Petition 12179/85, namely, M.C. Mehta v/s Union of India and Others in the Supreme Court of India and Writ Petition 3381 of 1987 in the Bombay High Court;.

And whereas the Honourable Supreme Court in its order dated 5-12-1989 directed the Government of India in the Ministry of Environment and Forests to consider objection received in response to the notification No. S.O. 852(E) dated the 7lh September, 1988 and take decision without haying any objection in respect of the fact that the matter is pending in that Court;

And whereas 138 objections were received which included 133 against and 5 for the prohibition;

And whereas 5 representations received in support of prohibition included suggestions by M/s Mount Steward Tea Estate, Bombay to develop Antop Hil1 Warehousing area into a semi wholesale Kirana Market and not for storage of hazardous chemicals. The Save Bombay Committee cities inappropriates of the complex in densely populated area and warned against the consequences of hazards in ease of explosion or accident. The Institution of Industrial Managers India, the members of the Cooperative Housing Society Ltd. of the Bank of India and the Bombay Environmental Action Group have expressed the same views. However, the Save Bombay Committee have no objection to the storing of non-hazardous chemicals;

And whereas of the 133 representations against the prohibition the institutional ones are from--

1. Secretary, Department of Environment, Government of Maharashtra,
   
2. Antop Hill Warehousing Company Ltd., through its solicitors (AHWC),
   
3. The Municipal corporation of Greater Bombay,
   
4. The Indian Chemicals Manufacturers Association,
   
5. The Indian Merchants Chamber, and
   
6. The Chemical and Alkali Merchant Association.
   

The rest of the representation against the prohibition were by individual traders who have booked offices or godown space in the warehouse complex. The representations from the traders are similar in nature and cite financial loss and need for storage spaces as the basis for opposing the notification. The main thrust of the views of the Government of Maharashtra and the Municipal Corporation of the Greater Bombay is that no environment pollution is likely by the storing of non-hazardous chemicals at Antop Hill Warehousing Company Ltd. (AHWC) complex such chemicals do not generate noxious gases or liquids in any manner injurious to environment. It is also emphasised the instrumentation conditions have been envisaged for storage of chemicals and the licence granted by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay to the AHWC will be conditional with safeguards for safety. The AHWC gave the genesis of the Warehousing Complex at the Antop Hills and highlighted the various construction features like the electrical fittings, fire protection features etc. The government of Maharashtra was anxious to remove the storage of chemicals from the congested residential and commercial areas of the Bombay city measures primarily to shift the chemical storage from Greater Bombay which are highly congested and selected after detailed studies conducted by the Government of Maharashtra and the Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay. The usual land reclamation investment had been undertaken by the Government of Maharashtra and the Municipal Corporation of the Greater Bombay during 1975-79. The AHWC then obtained the approval of the Chief the officer of the Municipal Corporation of the Greater Bombay, Chief Controller of Explosives, Government of India, Nagpur and other concerned authorities/departments. The AHWC claims that they have given the complete list of safety measures incorporated in planning based on the stipulation imposed by the Chief Fire Officer and the Chief Controller of Explosives, Government of India in Writ Petition No.12179/85, namely, M.C. Mehta versus Union of India and others in the Supreme Court of India. The AHWC also contested further that the storage is only for chemicals in their original packed condition and not meant for any bulk storage or repacking or storing of any gases/carcinogenic substances or explosives and that the total quantity of chemicals to be stored in the complex at any one time is not more than 5001) metric tonnes. Another main objection of AHWC was that the notification could not be issued since the matter was subjudice in another Writ Petition No. 3381 Of 1987 pending in Bombay High Court. The Indian Chemical Manufacturers Association, the Indian Merchants Chamber and the Chemical and Alkali Merchant Association presented the same arguments.

And whereas it is difficult to conceive how the AHWC could ensure that only authorised chemicals would be stored in the individual godowns. It is also not clear how the traders storing different types of chemicals needings segregation would manage to store all these chemicals in the godowns allotted to them. In the pattern of trade in general and the chemical trade in particular the inherent nature of a trader is to keep his business information to himself. Considering that each business space for storage/office will be under the individual control of each trader and no single body could take full responsibility for safe storage of chemicals by over a thousand individual firms dealing in different quantities of chemicals at different rates of turn over, different different suppliers and widely varying terms of trade and methods of business, the AHWC or any other body will find it impossible to exercise complete control over the storage of chemicals belonging to a large number of individual trades in the same complex. There is no safety system to control flammability, toxicity, corrosivity, reactivity, instability and oxidizing nature of several of the hazardous chemicals, Public interest demands that under no circumstances should hazardous chemicals be allowed to be stored at the site in question;

And whereas the Government of Maharashtra appointed a committee headed by Dr. R.K Garg to look into the pros and cons of the use of Antop Hill Warehousing complex for the purpose of storage of hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals. The Committee has gone into all the detail and visited the site to conduct site inspection at length. The Committee has concluded, among other things, that storage of hazardous chemicals at this site would make this storage a major hazard installation. The committee suggested shifting of the storage of hazardous chemicals to; different site. The same Committee later prepared a list of chemicals which could be stored in the proposed warehousing complex along with the quantities that could be stored. The 55 chemical listed by the Garg Committee in this context along with permissible quantity for storage are listed as per Annexure;

And whereas now all objections received have been duly considered by the Central Government;

Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the said rules, the Central Government hereby imposes prohibition and restrictions that no hazardous, chemicals as defined in clause (c) or rule 2 of the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989, not being a chemical in the quantity mentioned in Annexure shall be stored in Antop Hill Warehousing Complex and that the storage of approved chemical shall be regulated in accordance with the recommendations of the Garg Committee.

Classification of Coastal Regulation Zone:

6(1) For regulating development activities, the coastal stretches within 500 metres of High Tide Line on the landward side are classified into four categories, namely:

Category I (CRZ-I)

1. Areas that are ecologically sensitive and important, such as national parks/marine parks, sanctuaries, reserve forests, wildlife habitats, mangroves, corals/coral reefs, areas close to breeding and spawning grounds of fish and other marine life, areas of outstanding natural beauty/historically/heritage areas, areas rich in genetic diversity, areas likely to be inundated due to rise in sea level consequent upon global warming and such other areas as may be declared by the Central Government or the concerned authorities at the State/Union Territory level from time to time.

2. Area between the Low Tide Line and the High Tide Line.

Category-II (CRZ-II)

The areas that have already been developed upto or close to the shore-line. For this purpose, "developed area" is referred to as that area within the municipal limits or in other legally designated urban areas which is already substantially built up and which has been provided with drainage and approach roads and other infrastructural facilities, such as water supply and sewerage mains.

Category-III (CRZ-III):

Areas that are relatively undisturbed and those which do not belong to either Category-I or II. These will include coastal zone in the rural areas (developed and undeveloped) and also areas within Municipal limits or in other legally designated urban areas which are not substantially built up.

Category-IV (CRZ-IV)

Coastal stretches in the Andaman & Nicobar Lakshadweep and small islands except those designated as CRZ-I CRZ-II or CRZ-III.

Norms for Regulation of Activities.
