It is a big challenge for an entrepreneur to establish a new manufacturing business. Setting up a new Industry requires many approvals from Government Authorities. One of the major requirements is to obtain the Consent from the State Pollution Control Board.
The new units are under compulsion to obtain consent under the Water Act, 1974 and Air Act, 1981 even before starting subsequent production. In case the unit is covered under Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management & Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016, Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 and Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016, it shall simultaneously apply for the grant of consent under Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.
Application Submission
The first step is to submit an application for CTE/CTO to the respective SPCB/CPCB office. The application should include details about the project, such as the type of industry, the proposed location, and the estimated pollution load.
Site Inspection
Once the application is received, the SPCB/CPCB will conduct a site inspection to verify the information provided in the application and assess the potential impact of the project on the environment. The inspection will also identify the pollution control measures that need to be implemented.
Analysis and Approval
Based on the site inspection report and other relevant information, the SPCB/CPCB will analyze the application and approve it if all the requirements are met. The approval will include the conditions that the industry needs to comply with for obtaining CTO.
Compliance
After obtaining CTE, the industry needs to comply with the conditions mentioned in the approval and implement the pollution control measures as required. Once the industry is fully compliant with the conditions, it can apply for CTO
Application for CTO
he application for CTO should include details about the pollution control measures implemented and the results of monitoring the pollution levels. The SPCB/CPCB will conduct a final inspection to verify the compliance with the conditions mentioned in the CTE approval before issuing the CTO.
