E-Waste Management Project Launched
By akansha, Section Environment
Posted on Mon Aug 16, 2010 at 01:00:44 AM EST
The Mumbai-Pune corridor may be the hot spot for investors. It is also the highest producer of India's electronic waste.
About one third of India's electronic waste is generated in this region. A stakeholders' consultation on e-waste management was conducted in Pune over the weekend to address the issue.
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC); Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC); Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (MCCIA), Janvani; Kagad Kach Patra Kashtakari Panchayat (KKPKP); and German Technical Cooperation (GTZ)-Advisory Services in Environmental Management (ASEM) came together to share ideas and solutions on the issue.
Need for legislative framework
Director of GTZ-ASEM Dr. Juergen Bischoff threw light on the current context of e-waste in India as well as internationally, and expressed the need for a dedicated legislative framework for Electronic Waste Management in India.
He also shared how GTZ has been working towards finding solutions to the problem of e-waste through city-level interventions and policy dialogues.

City Plans To Go Clean, Seeks Central Funds
By sakshi sinha, Section Environment
Posted on Sat Jul 31, 2010 at 03:07:07 AM EST
 The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) will submit a comprehensive `Cleanliness Plan' to the state within two months to seek central assistance to improve sanitation, cleanliness and sewage treatment in the city.
The All-India Institute of Local Self Government (AIILSG), a government body that enables local bodies to contribute to the development process and provide citizens with a better life, met civic officials on Friday to discuss the plan.
"The process has already started with the participation of citizens and NGOs. The plan will be ready in the next two months and will be submitted to the state government. It will be sent to the central government for financial assistance," said mayor Mohansingh Rajpal on Friday.
The PMC's zonal commissioner and solid waste management chief Suresh Jagtap said, "We have started the process to prepare the cleanliness plan and a committee under the mayor has been formed. Ward-level committees are working on the plan with the help of NGOs."
These committees will take stock of situation and prepare a report about the basic infrastructure needed. "The plan will look for solutions to improve cleanliness, sewage treatment, garbage collection and processing, sanitation and water supply," said Jagtap.
"The central government helps local self-governing bodies to improve the infrastructure required for keeping cities clean and healthy," said Jagtap.
Pune is a dismal 65th in the Union urban development ministry's ranking for cleanliness and sanitation standards. In one of the most daunting tasks taken up by the ministry, 423 cities and towns with a population of more than one lakh were recently rated on parameters such as complete elimination of open defecation, elimination of open scavenging, and safe collection and disposal of human excreta.

Kalmadi Opposes 4 pc Construction In Bio Diversity Park
By akansha, Section Environment
Posted on Tue Jul 13, 2010 at 02:09:25 AM EST
Opposing the state government's decision to allow four per cent construction in the proposed Bio Diversity Park (BDP) areas in the 23 merged villages in Pune, city Congress MP Suresh Kalmadi on Monday said he would be speaking to all political parties to support the `Green development plan', under which the BDP was suggested.
Speaking to reporters, Kalmadi contested the claim made by state government officials that the cost of acquiring the land in the BDP zone would be nearly Rs 3,000 crore. "We have arrived at the cost and it comes to Rs 1,000 crore as per the government ready reckoner price. Money is important, but the environment is more important," Kalmadi said. The total area in the BDP zone is 950 hectares. The cost of acquiring the land is Rs 1.1 crore per hectare, he explained.
Kalmadi said that during last Friday's meeting in Mumbai with chief minister Ashok Chavan, there had been a "misguidance" that the cost of acquiring the land would be Rs 3,000 crore. "The decision taken at the meeting to allow four per cent construction in BDP area is only recommendatory in nature. The state government cannot take a decision on the issue. The proposal will again come up for discussion before the PMC general body meeting. There will be voting on the issue. I will request all the parties to support the Green DP and not allow any construction activity there. In 2005, when the PMC had approved the Green DP, it had been unanimously approved by all parties. We will not go back on it," he said.
According to him, raising Rs 1,000 crore for the BDP would not be difficult at all. The PMC can seek funds from the Central Government under JNNURM, as well as the Green India Mission. It can also opt for getting funds under the sustainable habitat mission, clean development mechanism and under schemes of urban forestry. Kalmadi said that protecting the green cover of the city is everyone's responsibility and that a Congress party delegation would meet chief minister Ashok Chavan in this regard.

Central Pollution Control Board Issues Festival Guidelines
By akansha, Section Environment
Posted on Fri Jul 09, 2010 at 12:33:58 AM EST
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has issued guidelines for the material to be used in making Ganesh idols and their immersion after Ganeshotsav in September.
The guidelines said that idols should be made from materials as described in the scriptures. Use of traditional clay (shadu) to make idols rather than baked clay or plaster of paris should be encouraged, allowed and promoted, it said.
The board has asked that painting of idols be discouraged and if the idols are painted, water soluble and nontoxic natural dyes be used. Use of toxic and nonbiodegradable chemical dyes should be strictly prohibited.
The other guidelines said that material used for worship like flowers, vastra (clothes), decorating material made of paper and plastic should be removed before immersion.
Bio-degradable materials should be collected separately for recycling or composting and non-biodegradable materials be collected separately for disposal in sanitary landfills. Clothes can be sent to orphanages, the guidelines added.
The board has asked local bodies to help curb pollution. "Local bodies and district authorities generally identify adequate number of designated immersion spots to avoid overcrowding and to reduce pollution. Such spots should be notified and public and pooja committees informed preferably a month before such events. All the stakeholders like the river authority, port authority, water supply board and irrigation department should be consulted for identification of immersion ghats, the guidelines said.

No New Private Helipads To Be Allowed: Jairam Ramesh
By akansha, Section Environment
Posted on Wed Jul 07, 2010 at 12:01:22 AM EST
New private helipads will not be given clearance by his ministry as it violates permissible noise levels, environment minister Jairam Ramesh said today, a move that is likely to upset plans of many business tycoons keen to have such structures.
"It's a strict no no for a new private helipad as they violate noise norms.. Only government-owned helipads will be given clearance from my ministry," Ramesh said on the sidelines of a function in New Delhi.
He was replying to a query on the status of Maharashtra's plan to set up helipads on the rooftop of buildings in Mumbai.
Ramesh said as long as the Maharashtra government uses such helipads for medical emergency or security-related needs, there was have no problem. "But any private helipad for private use or for that matter even for public use will not be allowed," he added.
"Also, we want to make clear that public helipad will have to be used exclusively for the public purpose and not to serve private interest," the Union minister said.

MADC Status Report On Chakan: No Progress In Past 6 Months
By sakshi sinha, Section Environment
Posted on Wed Jun 30, 2010 at 02:02:06 AM EST
No work on land acquisition or deliberations on alternate sites
No meetings and no progress is how the Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) describes the status of the upcoming Chakan airport project. It's been a six months that there has been no meeting to discuss the progress of the project by the officials and the land acquisition process which is to be done has also not been done.
" No work has been initiated for the land acquisition from these villages. There was a report given by the MADC officials to the board about the land in the area not being feasible. However there has also been no action and no further meeting," said a senior MADC official.
The government had sanctioned the seed money to appoint a project consultant for the project coming up on 3,300 hectares covering seven villages in Chakan - Chandoos, Shiroli, Waki-Budruk, Koregaon-Budruk, Kiwale, Pimpri Thakur and Wadgaon.
The project estimate has been given as Rs 7,500 crore. The land acquisition process was to be taken up. Earlier, the process was undertaken by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) through which 2,565 hectares of land was notified and based on this the district collector also held meetings with the farmers two years back.
The project was later transferred from MIDC to MADC in May two years back. This has been the status in the last one year. It was earlier announced that the airport would take off by 2011.

Polluted Waters Driving Away Birds, After 30-Year Gap Records Decrease In Density
By sakshi sinha, Section Environment
Posted on Fri Jun 25, 2010 at 02:07:10 AM EST
 In the first bird count conducted in the city after a gap of three decades, the Ecological Society has said the increasing pollution of rivers flowing through Pune has resulted in a noticeable drop in birds along the riversides.
"We have seen a noticeable decrease in the number of species of birds of prey. Earlier around 10 species were found, but now they have gone down to five," said Ecological Society chairman, Prakash Gole. "Birds of prey are generally found near water bodies and open spaces. Certain species disappear due to congestion," he added.
"Some birds, which are commonly found in clean water habitats, are missing from the city. These are the Bronze-winged Jacana and the Pheasant-tailed Jacana. These species generally disappear when there is a lot of pollution," Gole said. The numbers of Pied Kingfisher, which dives into water in order to fish, have also decreased owing to increased water pollution.
More than 120 volunteers fanned out over 25,000 hectares of built-up, open, garden and wooded areas throughout the city in the beginning of June this year, identifying 127 species of avians in three days. A total of 45,144 birds were counted in the exercise this year.
In terms of numbers, the most common birds were Blue Rock Pigeons (common pigeons). "When we last conducted a bird count in the city in 1979, the Common Myna was the most sighted bird in the city. It now stands at third position," said Gole. In 1979, the density of birds per hectare was 2.8, which has now gone down to 1.8 per hectare, Gole added.
This year the city was divided into 33 sectors, which in turn were divided into 125 transects (lines along which volunteers collected data through actual sightings). In reality, the number of birds in the city could be twice the mentioned figure. The bird count this year did not include the count of nocturnal bird species.

Eco-Housing Plan To Be Cleared By Next Month
By akansha, Section Environment
Posted on Thu Jun 17, 2010 at 03:38:53 AM EST
The state government is planning to introduce the eco housing programme with an amendment to the Development Control (DC) rules. Principal Secretary, Urban Development, TC Benjamin said the GR is in the final stages of approval. With Pune already having an eco-housing programme since 2007 that was voluntary in nature, this mandatory change will not be new to the city.
An official of environment department said this was a climate-friendly step and by July, it would be implemented for all the new buildings after amendment to the DC rules. He told the eco-housing conference held earlier this year that the Chief Minister had mooted the plan.
"The CM is in Singapore and since he has already given a green signal, it should be cleared soon. It should be implemented in July," said Benjamin.
He said that the eco-friendly programme in Pune and Mumbai will be made mandatory for the entire state. "The government has already pledged its support for eco-housing and was planning to implement changes in the DC rules by April. However, it has extended and now the eco-friendly practices will be cleared."
The practices include rain water harvesting, water recycling, dual plumbing system, energy efficient lighting fixtures, solar water heaters, conservation of top soil. To be applicable to all new structures, especially hotels, educational institutions, hospitals and big societies, the main points of the GR will be strict adherence to compulsory rain water harvesting, solar energy water heating system, energy efficiency methods for lights and air conditioners and minimum harm to top soil.
Environmentalist Neeraj Bawa said eco-housing is a welcome step in times of rapid urbanisation.
"These are a few things which can be done and it should be implemented immediately," he said.
Pune's eco-housing programme which has been in existence since 2007 was voluntary in nature and developers executing this plan were given rebates in premium charges on building permissions.
The areas of focus are to preserve, reuse nutrient rich top soil, reuse waste products, prevent landfills, reduce water consumption, recycled water for lawns, energy efficiency lighting, rain water harvesting and solar water heaters.

Civic Declaration Aims At Better Living Standards
By sakshi sinha, Section Environment
Posted on Tue Jun 08, 2010 at 03:02:25 AM EST
 Improved standards of living for all, healthy and clean environment, especially for the weaker section of society, promotion of eco-friendly and energy conservation technology and creation of `slow-moving traffic areas' for pedestrians and bicycle riders were some of the highlights of the `Pune-Pimpri Chinchwad Declaration' that was released here on Sunday.
The declaration was released at the valedictory function of the two-day state-level summit on `Sustainable Urbanisation: Cities in Changing Climate', held at the Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA).
Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad mayors Mohansingh Rajpal and Yogesh Behl and MLC Vandana Chavan, who also heads the MCCIA's environment committee, were present on the occasion.
The declaration came as a reflection of the issues as well as the concerns raised on a slew of areas relating to urban management vis-à-vis impact of global warming and climate change and the need to mitigate the same at local level.
Promoting emerging ecofriendly technologies, better environment for living, better sewage treatment and solid waste management facilities, apt space for pedestrians and clean and safe drinking water were some of these issues discussed.
The focus also was on the measures to meet the targets set by the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) for reducing carbon emission and securing a more cleaner environment through public participation and joint initiatives.

Builders Sniff Boon At Khar-Danda
By akansha, Section Environment
Posted on Fri Jun 04, 2010 at 02:26:55 AM EST
State environment secretary Valsa Nair Singh has acknowledged that development proposals have been cleared in Khar-Danda after the sea stretch there was re-designated as a creek. She said the coast there was redefined after a National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) report was approved by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests.
"This institute (the NIO) had carried out a site inspection and submitted its report to the Centre for reclassification. Khar-Danda has got this advantage and other proposals are bound to follow,'' Nair told TOI.
However, sources said the coastal zone management plan for Mumbai that was approved by the Union environment ministry a decade ago did not mention or make any remarks about a creek in Khar-Danda.
In one stroke, dozens of buildings and some open plots in the area have been exempted from the Coastal Regulation Zone. According to copies of documents with TOI, the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) cleared the project of a developer in Khar-Danda (CTS No G/341 of Santa Cruz TPS Scheme No 2) back in 2004 by taking advantage of the `creek' definition.
"Although this builder's plot fell within 500 metres of the High Tide Line,he approached the authority stating that it was situated near a creek and not a sea,'' said the whistle-blower who made the documents available to TOI. The then MCZMA membersecretary Munshilal Gautam visited the site and wrote in his inspection report that the water body at Khar-Danda was a "sea'' and not a "creek''.

Slumdwellers From Green Zones To Be Shifted
By akansha, Section Environment
Posted on Sat May 22, 2010 at 01:30:32 AM EST
The Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA), an autonomous body of the state government, has decided to shift slum dwellers living in non-buildable slum areas like green zones to concrete houses.
"In collobration with the PMC and PCMC we will identify slums which are in the non-buildable areas like hilltops and green zones and shift them to concrete tenements," said SRA additional chief executive officer Sanjay G Kolte.
For this, the SRA also proposes to modify the rules governing the Maharashtra Town Planning Act, 1966, and Maharashtra Slum (improvement) Clearance and Redevelopment Act, 1971, to take over the private land from those owners who don't respond to its notice of rehabilitating the slum dwellers occupying their land. "There are slums which have also come up on private land and we are amending the rules specifying that if the land owner does not respond to notice, the slum land would deem to have come under SRA," added Kolte.
Under the proposed policy, the SRA will give the floor space index (FSI) incentive to developers who build concrete houses for slum dwellers. The developers will get the free FSI which will be twice the admissible FSI on the land in A zone, 2.5 times the FSI on B zone, 3 times the FSI of the C and D zones.The developers can use the free FSI to sell it in market or use it for any other purpose. This will come in return for the money they will spend on the construction of the houses. SRA will also give an option of carrying out the development of the slums through the landowners only or ask them to identify the developers who will construct the concrete 1 BHK houses for them.
In case of the slums existing on the government land, the developers will give 25 per cent of the value of the land to the department on whose land the slum exists.
"The policy is for slums which came up before 1995 but government has agreed to include those which came up after that," he said.

City Organisation To Conduct Bird Census
By sakshi sinha, Section Environment
Posted on Mon May 17, 2010 at 11:43:37 PM EST
 The Ecological Society will be conducting a bird count in the city from June 6 to 10. The bird census, which is being done after a gap of almost three decades, will mainly focus on resident bird population and will be carried out with the help of public participation. The census will cover the entire city, which will be divided into 32 sectors demarcated according to regions. Bird species and their numbers will be counted.
According to Prakash Gole, noted ecologist and chairman of the Ecological Society, which is devoted to ecological and environmental research and education, the census will help in identifying areas that attract birds, bio-diversity and recognise potential environmental threats, with the help of clues identified from shifting bird populations.
Gole, along with a group of nature enthusiasts, had done a bird count in the city in 1979. "Around 140 species were recorded then and 32,000 birds were sighted in an area of 12,000 hectares," he said.
"Now, the area of the city has almost doubled and birds are valuable indicators of biodiversity conservation. Thus, the new data will help in assessing the trend regarding the total number of birds in different wetlands as well as the number of different species. It will help in analysing changes in their population," he said.

State Launches Watershed Scheme In Rain-Fed Areas
By sakshi sinha, Section Environment
Posted on Mon May 17, 2010 at 02:04:25 AM EST
The first phase will be implemented in 29 districts, including Pune
To ensure water through the year to rain-fed areas of Maharashtra, the state government has undertaken an ambitious watershed programme which will be carried out over the next three years and cover 30 lakh hectare of land in the state.
The first phase is being implemented in 29 districts including Pune, Ahmednagar, Solapur, Satara, Sangli, Aurangabad where 61 mega watershed projects spread over 9.95 lakh hectare have already been identified. The Union government recently sanctioned a fund of Rs 1,255 crore for the first phase, which will be disbursed in a phased manner. The state will contribute 10% of the Centre's fund.
The initiative falls under the Union government's ministry of rural development and the Centre will provide funds amounting to Rs 1,200 crore to Rs 1,500 crore each for the remaining two phases over the next three years.
State agriculture minister Balasaheb Thorat, "The programme holds immense importance for the state. At present, only 20% of land in the state is under irrigation. By implementing watershed activities in rain-fed areas through this initiative, we will bring in more land under irrigation in the coming years."

10 New Automatic Weather Stations By Year-End: IMD
By sakshi sinha, Section Environment
Posted on Wed May 12, 2010 at 02:21:18 AM EST
Pune is all set to get ten new Automatic Weather Stations(AWS) by the end of this year. With the locations are yet to be finalised they will be set up in addition to the existing three AWS in the city at Pashan,Hadapsar and Shivajinagar. Director of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Dr Ajit Tyagi, told Newsline on Tuesday that the city will soon have these stations which will enable them to make better forecasts. With a few to be installed in the coming month, he said that by the end of the year all the stations would be in place.
These weather stations are inclusive of the 550 additional AWS which are to come up in the country while there will be 1,350 automatic rain gauge stations to provide district level agricultural met advisory. Dr Tyagi said the installation would help give weekly as well as fortnightly monsoon forecasts and this would help the farmers. "We will make forecasts based on these systems," he said. These weather stations are part of the modernisation plans of the IMD.
They have also selected the city to have high-power computing systems which will help give accurate weather forecast data. According to a senior Met official these new systems will refine the weather forecast generated on the district scale and support the crop planning process. The existing network includes 125 automatic weather stations and a large number of manual observatories as well agro-advisories.
IMD officials said that farmers were currently provided only weather forecasts. The agro advisory will include inputs like which crop would be suitable, and in which season and what farmers of a district should do according to the weather pattern. The information would be disseminated through advisory centres, Kisan Vikas Kendras and agricultural universities. A mechanism has also been developed to obtain feedback from the farmers on the quality of weather forecast, relevance and the content of agro-met advisory and effectiveness of the information dissemination system.
