Nagpur: In RTI’s replies, the Central Pollution Control Agency (CPCB) said that health care facilities are needed to install waste treatment plants (ETP) if the waste water produced by them is not connected to the terminal waste disposal network that leads to the treatment of factory terminal waste (STP ).
In the midst of ambiguity over the norm, the CPCB also states that if waste waste is connected to the General Disposal Channel that leads to STP terminals, health care facilities do not need to install separate / individual ETPs.
Doctor-cum-cum-lawyer Dr.
Pradeep Arora has submitted a RTI application because the MPCB Regional Office insisted that hospitals were required to install STP / ETP according to the rules of biomedical cleaning management, 2017 and amendments.
MPCB ​​has resisted license update permissions.
Of some private hospitals on the premise that they do not have an ETP or the STP sub-regional officer or STP IPD waste must be treated with disinfectants before releasing in the waste line.
Without STP, it is not possible to adhere to environmental norms, “he said.
Katole said serial number 8 (paragraph 3) clearly stated,” STP is also mandatory for hospitals under 10 beds in 2019.
The hospital wants to directly release Waste in the city waste line.
Already, this city does not have the right waste treatment facilities.
Waste water is randomly appointed and not all treated.
The notification is clear, “he said.
The MPCB officer said that a larger hospital had set up STP while only smaller ones that had 25 to 50 beds contrary to him.” Those who ran in one building did not have enough space.
We have appealed to them to install STPS.
They faced problems during the license update, “Katole said.
Klausus said Klausa 1 stated,” The above limit applies to invaders health care facilities (bed) connected with a network of sewerage without a terminal waste processing plant or not connected to the General Disposal Channel “.
Dr.
Arora explained that Klausa 1 was released every hospital from preparing STP itself if the public sewerage system was connected to the general STP.
As in the case of the General STP Nagpur in the final Public Disposal Public Disposal Terminal in Blandewadi.
So the hospital located in jurisdiction The Nagpur City corporation is excluded from the installation of STP or ETP itself a treatment facility that has less than 10 beds must install STP on December 31, 2019 “, Dr.
Arora said that it did not make sense because it left a larger hospital.
“What about hospitals with 10 or more than 10 beds,” he asked.
Dr.
Arora added, “Absurdity from this clause is too clear, which is why I submitted RTI and now the CPCB reply is the same as the clause 1 really binding to the MPCB.”
