Now
the use of fly ash in all types of building construction work has been
made compulsory within 100 kms radius of the power plants.
Lately
a new circular is issued by the Forest and Environment Ministry of the
Central Government to ensure the maximum use of fly ash produced from
all the power plants in all construction work within 100 kms.
Use of at least 25% fly ash has been made compulsory.
Acordingly
to information it would be the responsibility of the construction
agencies approving designs, to use fly ash bricks, tiles, cement fly
ash and such other productions or materials within time bound
programme.
The
state government would be the enforcing and monitoring authority to
ensure compliance of these provisions. Before approving the
design any agency or person would ensure the use of fly ash within 100
kms radius of the power plant in the building of roads and fly over as
per the guidelines issued by (I.R.C.) Indian Road Congress.
The
Board has made an appeal to all fly ash producing units and various
government departments to take appropriate steps to ensure compliance
with the circular issued on August 27, 2003 in order that the serious
problem like fly ash could be brought under control. |
