1. INTRODUCTION
Clay bricks are produced in Rajasthan in small or cottage scale brick
kilns and clamps which operate seasonally. The raw materials in the
brick kilns include topsoil, coal, paddy husk, fly ash, wood & locally
available agro wastes to some extent. Brick manufacturing process
generates emissions discharged from the brick kilns. Brick kiln
emissions consists of mainly coal fines and dust particles. There are
other activities like mining/quarrying of clay, handling &
transportation of raw material/bricks which also contribute to air
pollution.
The process involved in the brick kilns is such that if appropriate
measures are not taken, it may lead to pollute air and besides impact
on land, soil, flora and fauna, hence it has been categorized as ‘RED’
category industry by the Board. It is, therefore, mandatory that brick
kiln units must adopt appropriate measures to prevent/control
discharge of pollutants in the air and must also have adequate
arrangement to control the particulate matter in the premises of the
unit itself.
Any project proponent intending to establish a brick kiln unit must
seek prior consent to establish under the Air (Prevention and Control
of Pollution) Act, 1981 before taking any step for establishing the
industry. Likewise, after establishing the brick kiln, the project
proponent must seek prior consent to operate before commissioning
the plant.
2. COMPETENT AUTHORITY
The State Board has delegated powers to Regional Officers of the
Board to grant or refuse applications for consent to establish and
consent to operate submitted under the provisions of Air (Prevention
& Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 (Air Act) for the brick kilns.
However, when a consent application is refused by Regional Officer,
the decision on the application submitted subsequently is taken by the
Head Office.
Therefore any person who intends to establish/operate a brick kiln
may submit application for consent to establish/operate at the
concerning Regional Office of the Board.
3. LOCATION OF LAND
A Brick Kiln unit can be established on a land owned by the promoter
(this also includes land taken on lease or agreement for at least 10
years) provided that:-
3.1 The land is not located within a radius of 1.5 km (aerial
distance) from abadi area of any revenue village as defined
under the provisions of Land Revenue Act.
Explanation – Revenue village is the village or Dhani notified
as such by Revenue Department of the State Government and
the distance is to be verified by concerned revenue officer not
below the rank of Tehsildar in the model format enclosed as
annexure -1.
3.2 The distance (aerial) of the nearest point of boundary of the
land from the State/ National Highway must be at least 100
meters, and from other roads at least 50 meters.
Explanation – Distance is to be measured from the boundary of
the road, to be verified by concerned revenue officer not below
the rank of Tehsildar in the model format enclosed as
annexure-1.
3.3 The distance (aerial) of the nearest point of boundary of the
land must be at least 500 m from National Park & Sanctuaries,
and 100 meters from Reserve Forest/Protected Forest.
Explanation- In cases where the claimed distance is equal or
marginally more than the above limit, the distance is to be
verified by the concerned Forest Officer not below the rank of
Range Officer in the model format enclosed as annexure –2
and/or annexure –3 as the case may be.
3.4 The distance (aerial) of the nearest point of boundary of the
land must be at least 500 meters from any Prominent Public
Sensitive places/ Prominent Places of Worship/ School/
Hospital/ Community Parks/ Notified Archaeological
Monuments.

below the rank of Tehsildar in the model format enclosed as
annexure -1.
3.5 The distance (aerial) of the nearest point of the land must be
atleast 1500 meters from the water body located in the down-
stream side. However, if brick kiln unit is likely to have
adverse effect on catchment area of the water body or is likely
to obstruct the flow path of a natural stream, drain, nullah, river
etc. even if the land is located beyond 1500 metre from such
water body, permission shall not be granted to establish the unit
on such land.
Explanation - The distance from water body must be verified by
concerned Assistant Engineer, Water Resources Department
(Irrigation) in the format enclosed as annexure –4.
Provided further that the above mentioned distance criteria shall
not be applicable for the existing brick kiln units which have been
established after obtaining valid consent from the State Board
prior to issuance of these guidelines and do not intend to expand
capacity.
Provided also that in case of units established after seeking
consent from the State Board, the consent shall not be renewed if
it is found that:-
(i) The local community has been experiencing the air pollution
from the emissions of the brick kiln, and/ or
(ii) The water flow to the water body in the downstream is
getting obstructed, and/ or
(iii) The project proponent has failed to comply with conditions
laid down in the consent.
4. LOCATION OF PLANT & MACHINARY
The minimum area of land for establishing a brick kiln unit should be
such that after establishing plant and machinery and leaving sufficient
space for material stock and movement of vehicles, enough space is
available all around for planting at least two rows of trees and shrubs
along the periphery as mentioned at para 12.
5. RESTRICTIONS VIDE FLY ASH, TAJ TRAPEZIUM, MOUNT

6. REQUIREMENT FOR GROUND WATER EXTRACTION
Keeping in view the requirements stated in the Policy guidelines for
clearance of ground water abstraction for various uses issued by the
Central Ground Water Authority, Ministry of Water Resources,
Government of India vide letter dated 14.10.2009, the guidelines
regarding the requirement of NOC from CGWA for abstraction of

amount to be payable shall be calculated as per the rates prescribed in
the Notification dated 6/5/2003 issued by Ministry of Environment &
Forest, Government of India.
RSPCB has simplified the cess assessment procedure for certain
category of units. The scheme is applicable to small assessees whose
cess liability at the existing rates does not exceed Rs. 6,000/- Per
annum Under this scheme the eligible assessees are required to submit
a self assessment before 31st May of every year, for the ensuing year

CIRCULAR
Entry no. 37 of schedule-I of Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 has stipulated that in
respect of stone crushing units, the concerned unit would be required to grow a green belt
along the periphery. The Board has also incorporated a condition of 33% of the unit’s area as
being required to be covered by plantation, while granting consent to these units to operate
under the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. However the numbers of trees,
species etc. and the manner of their plantation have not been specified by either the Board or
the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986. In view of the difficulty being experienced in
implementing this requirement, following clarification is hereby issued:-
1. Trees shall necessarily be planted along the periphery of the area in rows. The unit
may also take up additional plantation in other available open areas such as along
the road, on unused land etc.
2. The computation of the area under plantation shall be done on the basis of the
following norms:-
i. Tree species like Neem, Pipal, Jamun, Gulmohar etc. shall be deemed to
cover 25 M2 areas on maturity.
ii. Shrubs like Guava, Pomegranate, Jungle Jalebi etc. shall be deemed to cover
an area of 9 M2 on maturity.
The area likely to be covered by the plants mentioned above shall be computed accordingly.
The herbs which require continuous watering for their maintenance shall not be counted to
meet the norms though the can be planted by the management as per their need.
Illustration: In case of 10 no. of trees like Sehtoot, Siris, Shisham, Babool; 5 no. of
Shrubs like Eucalyptus, Ashok, Ber Kair and 20 no of Herbs like Rose, Mehandi,
Duranta, Merigold are planted the total area under plantation shall be computed as
follows:
Area covered by trees = 10 x 25 = 250 m2 Area covered by shrubs = 05 x 09 = 045 m2 Area covered by herbs = 20 x 00 = 000 m2 Total Area 295 m2
