POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD-PUNE
NOT AS PER ENVIRONMENTAL NORMS

KIND ATTENTION TO COMMISSIOER AND PIO:-

A DEFENCE UNIT IS SITUATED IN SUTARWADI, PUNE-21. THE PROCESS INVOLVES NITRATION USING STRONG NITRIC AS WELL AS OLEUM, FOR PRODUCING DEFENCE PRODUCTS. THE EFFLUENT ARAISING FROM THE UNIT CONSISTS OF TOXIC WASTES APART FROM ACIDS AND NITRATED BY PRODUCTS. THE UNIT IS CLAIMING THE TREATED PRODUCTS ARE WITHIN THE SPECIFIED LIMITS.

I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT NO PROPER TREATMENT IS CARRIED OUT. ONLY NEUTRALISATION IS FOLLOWED AND THE EFFLUENTS ARE DISCHARGED IN THE LAND. DURING RAINING SEASON, THE TOXIC WASTES ACCUMULATED ON THE LAND SURFACE ARE CARRIED BY RAINY WATER TO PASHAN LAKE. I DONT KNOE HOW FAR THE PMC TREATMENT IS EFFICIENT THAT WATER IS SAFE FOR DRINKING PURPOSE.

PLEASE SHOW THE DOCUMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS:_

TOTAL SOLID CONTENT, BOD, COD, TOTAL NITROGEN CONTENT, NITRITES AND NITRARES ALONG WTH AMMONICAL NITROGEN.

PLEASE TAKE SAMPLES FROM THE PLANT SITE FOR SOIL ANALYSIS AND NEUTRALISED EFFLUENT AND SUBMIT THE REPORT. BEING DEFENCE UNIT, LOT OF NEGLIGENCE SHOWN BY PMC. THE FORM WILL BE FILLED ALONG WITH FEES AND INTIMATED TO YOU SIR.

I HOPE THE COMMISSIONER ALONG WITH PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER ACTING FOR RTI, WILL LOOK IN TO THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY
