We of course, have information on some other states too.
Congratulations ! You would do the Nation Proud. Best of Luck.
Or you are concerned about environmental issues, conservation and pollution control.
With a difficult task ahead, you would also now certainly want to know that you have a number of procedural formalities to be complied with.
Some of them being under the:
The first question that would come to your mind is probably - Am I really allowed to set up the industry at the desired location? Well - Industrialization and some development activities are regulated in specific areas of the Aravalli Ranges in Rajasthan and also at Dahanu in Maharashtra. Storage of hazardous chemicals in Antop Hill Warehousing Complex, Bombay has also been prohibited.
For Uttar Pradesh you have some restrictions in the Doon Valley the Agra Mathura Trapezium and at specified altitudes Both these areas have been declared as sensitive areas and you may have to comply with more stringent standards and more efforts for pollution control. Siting criteria are also laid down for tanneries and bone mills, stone crushers and Sugar units You would surely benefit from a perusal before finalising the site.
Restrictions on activities, yes there are, Benzedine based dyes and its salts and Azodyes are prohibited and so is the import of Hazardous wastes. Legislation also provides for regulations on Import of Hazardous Chemicals.
Now that you are almost clear on what you want and where, you would like to know the environmental clearances to be obtained.
If you are a non obnoxious non hazardous non polluting industry and in the small scale sector you are exempted from provisions of a No Objection Certificate from the Pollution Control Board. Look for your industry in schedule- 1. No industrial activity is permitted within residential areas. Application for consent under provisions of Section 25/26 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Section 21 of the Air (Prevention and control of Pollution) Act 1981 have to be made at least two months before trial run.
If you are not covered under schedule 1 and thereby not exempt from getting the NOC from the Pollution Control Board, you may have to obtain a mandatory N.O.C. from the U.P.Pollution Control Board only or an additional clearance under the Environment Impact Assessment notification of 1994. Welcome therefore to Schedule -II. Locate your industry and you will be guided across details on what clearances are mandatory, which offices would grant the clearances and the environmental standards to be met. Industries not included in the schedule, for which specific standards have not been prescribed will have to comply with general standards for discharge of effluents and emissions. For industries going in for expansion/diversification you will have to ensure that the existing industry/groups are complying with the provisions of Section 25/26 of the Water Act; Section 21 of the Air Act; Section 3 of the Water Cess Act and provisions of the Hazardous Waste Management rules the Hazardous substances handling rules and have duly submitted the Environmental Statements.
May be you want to handle hazardous microorganisms or genetically engineered organisms or wish to manufacture/store hazardous chemicals or even import Hazardous chemicals. We have information for you.
