6 The Cement industries will control fugitive emissions from all the raw material and products storage and transfer points by December 2003. However, the feasibility for the control of fugitive emissions from limestone and coal storage areas will be decided by the National Task Force (NTF). The NTF shall submit its recommendations within three months.

CPCB Environmental Guidelines for Prevention and Control of Fugitive Emissions from Cement Plants are being followed

All transfer points and storage silos are provided with dust collection and extraction systems for effective control of fugitive emissions.

The dust collected from the pollution control equipment is being recycled back into the process.

Sheds constructed for all raw materials.

All raw material transfer conveyor are covered with GI sheet.

Truck mounted vacuum cleaner and road sweeper are deployed and good housekeeping is being maintain for controlling secondary fugitive dust emissions.

7 CPCB, NCBM, BIS and Oil refineries will jointly prepare the policy on use of petroleum cokes as fuel in cement kiln by July 2003.
