Introduction The Capacity Building for Industrial Pollution Management (CBIPM) project will help the Government of India (GoI) to build capacity at the state and central level, and develop a framework to address these issues in a comprehensive and systemic manner under an area-wide management approach. The proposed project is aligned with the endeavor of the GoI to establish a National Program for Rehabilitation of Polluted Sites (NPRPS) as a framework for scaling up the clean up and rehabilitation of polluted sites and facilitate the reduction of environmental and health risks associated with legacy polluted sites. The project is also expected to build the technical capacity of select SPCBs for undertaking environmentally sound remediation of polluted sites. Ten highly polluted sites, two in Andhra Pradesh (Noor Mohammed Kunta in Hyderabad and municipal dumpsite in Kadapa) and Eight in West Bengal (Dhapa municipal dump site in Kolkata and seven hazardous waste sites in Hooghly district), have been identified for remediation on pilot basis. It is anticipated that a National Plan for rehabilitation of Polluted Sites (NPRPS) and the project will result in environmental benefits i.e. improvement in water and air quality, improved hygienic conditions, health benefits such as reduction in water borne, vector borne diseases and economic benefits i.e. employment generation during rehabilitation and remediation of contaminated sites.
