Industrial Pollution Consulting

Planning to set up any kind of industry,
take a step forward to get the hassle free
industrial consulting with time-bound delivery.

Each and every industry is classified under the Red category, Orange category, Green category, and White category and polluting in nature whether air polluting, water-polluting, and hazardous waste generating, these industries are covered under the consent management system. Under the consent management system, industries need to take a prior no objection certificate for setting up plant and machinery and for the operation of this equipment with respect to pollution angle from the Pollution control board. Pollution NOC refers to the pollution certifications for the establishment and the operation of the unit which are generally called CTE (Consent to Establish) and CTO (Consent to Operate).
In some Pollution control board states like Uttarakhand (UEPPCB), it is called CCA NOC because operation and authorisation permission is granted altogether.
The Pollution certificates and TSS (Total suspended solids) Total Suspended Solids = Total Solids –Total Dissolved Solids (Dry Weight of Filter and Trapped Material – Dry Weight of Filter)/Volume of Water Sample NOCs are generally covered under the provisions of The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Environment Protection Act 1986.
No construction and operation of any Industrial unit and establishment are allowed without taking the Pollution NOC and Pollution certificate from the State Pollution Control Board. Those factories running and operating with the Pollution license from the Pollution Board are deemed to be illegal and the Pollution control board is authorised under the provisions of Air Act 1981 and Water Act 1974 to cut the water and electricity supply of any defaulting unit.
We will discuss the types of Pollution consulting further. Pollution NOC can be divided into two types of certificates which shall be talked about in detail furthermore.

CTE NOC which is also known as Pollution NOC is given permission to start the construction at the project site from the Pollution Control Board.
In other words, It is a pre-establishment certificate for a Pollution certificate that allows the CPCB categorised industrial and non-Industrial Project and units to set up their plant and machinery and any other Pollution control device and equipment to control the Water Pollution and Air Pollution such as STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) It is a biologically process-based system that is used to treat domestic sewage or wastewater. E.g. Residential Apartments generate domestic or toilet waste which is cleaned and treated in the STP. ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) ETP is a physio-chemical-based wastewater treatment system that is used to reduce the organic load from industrial wastewater. and Chimney and stack Scrubbers.
The State Pollution Control Board grants the Pollution certificate in compliance with Section 25, Section 25 refers to no industry, process, project, factory, or any other unit or set up shall establish or operate in any manner without taking prior permission or consent from the State Pollution Control Board that is likely to generate and discharge the effluent or sewage or wastewater into a stream or well or sewer, or on land. , Section 26, and Section 27 Section 27 refers to the refusal of the consent of the State Pollution Board.

CCA NOC is the combined Pollution NOC that is granted under the provisions of the Water Act 1974, Air Act 1981, and EP Act 1986 for the Polluting and Non-Polluting Industries. It is a one-time permission under the Pollution control laws that make the Industrial units eligible to have consent to operate and hazardous waste authorization in one shot.
Some Pollution Control Board like UEPPCB (Uttarakhand Environment Protection & Pollution Control Board) Uttarakhand etc. has the practice to award the CCA NOC after complying with the statutory requirement of the UEPPCB.
Before applying CCA NOC, It is mandatory for any project or unit to obtain the CTE – Pollution NOC under the provisions of the Water Act, Air Act, and EPA 1986.
CCA NOC is awarded for five years for the orange category industries and for 1 year for the red category units.
