75% of the brick kiln owner has given the importance to the workers
health they have provided First Aid kit at the worksite where 25% has
not provided any medical facility to the worker.
At the worksite only 56% of the total has provided potable water for the
livelihood of worker.

Awareness Score
In our questionnaire there were five questions (Q no. 54 – 58) which was related to
environmental awareness. On the basis of question and their educational qualification
we get to the result that brick kiln owner are highly unaware about the environmental
issues. On every question we put 20 marks. On this basis we divided it into four classes.
Discussions
The present study shows that there exist some major gaps in the
brick industry

• The borrowed/excavated pit shall be restored by the project proponent for useful
purpose(s).
• Appropriate fencing all around the borrowed/excavated pit shall be made to prevent
any mishap.
• Measures shall be taken to prevent dust emission by covering of borrowed/excavated
earth during transportation.
• Workers / labourers shall be provided with facilities for drinking water and
sanitation.
• A berm shall be left from the boundary of adjoining field having a width equal to at
least half the depth of proposed excavation.
• A minimum distance of 15 m from any civil structure shall be kept from the
periphery of any excavation area.
• At the end of monsoon the water contained in the pit should be used for fisheries.
• The kiln owner should spend 5% in CSR of the total project cost.
• Uses of zig-zag technology in place of the FCBTK.
Contd…
• After monsoon the water carried out by the river or the flooded water carry
clay which is rich in nutrients. After 2-3 month around 60% of water gets
infiltrate, which is good for ground water recharge.
• In mining area the depth pit should be filled with municipal waste, and top
layer cover with clay, rock chips etc because after some time they degrade and
convert into high fertile compost.
• The implementation for development of green belt will be of paramount
importance as it will not only add up as an aesthetic feature, but also act as a
pollution sink.
• The species to be grown in the area should be dust tolerant and fast growing
species so that permanent green belt is created.
• Ash should be used for brick making.
• There should be strict guidelines to follow the Environmental Clearance (EC)
& Pollution Certificate for every brick kiln. SEIAA should also visit the site
time to time to check that the kiln owners are following the rules or not.
