As with any problem or issue, once it emerges Governments deliberate upon them and comes up with a set of measures to regulate that activity. Similarly, as pollution is increasing all over the Globe, governments issue guidelines to counter and minimise the levels of pollution. One of the basic yet most prominent tools to control this is the No-objection certificates. Through the use of this tool, polluting industries and commercial establishments can be filtered out and as per their polluting levels of them, they can be segregated and specific norms and regulations could be applied to their emission activities. In this blog, we will discuss briefly the aspects related to pollution license and what documents are required for that.
There are two clearances
required for the establishment to become fully functional. One of them is
Consent to establish clearance that is issued by the pollution
boards/committees when they are satisfied with the project design and the
potential polluting capability that the establishment has. The authorities
consider a variety of factors while determining the approval like waste water
generation, air emission, waste generation and the overall impact that the
project might have on the ecosystem. The second clearance is the Consent to
operate clearance that is granted once the machinery setup is done and the
establishment is at the point of operating but before the actual operation
environmental tests are conducted and the samples are analysed by the
authorities to determine if the pollution levels by the unit are within the
expected limits, and if all is good then consent to operate license is granted.
Further clearances relating to Waste Management such as Hazardous waste, E-
waste, Battery waste, Plastic waste which are sector-specific are also required
by the industrial units.
Various documents are
needed for the clearances to get through and we will list down some of the those
essential ones namely Aadhar Card of Applicant, Water and Electricity Bill, Project Report, Pan
Card of Company/Partnership firm, Layout Plan, Lab Test Reports, Rent Agreement
if applicable, Undertaking.
Green Genra is one of
the fastest emerging and trustworthy firms in the field of environmental
products and services relating to various clearances. Within a short period, it
has been made possible because of the core ethos of keeping the customer at the
centre and our leadership team that is comprised of the environmental engineers
who understand the minute details related to environmental norms themselves. We
provide a comprehensive set of services related to pollution clearances in a
holistic manner that comprise right from assistance related to the preparation
of an initial draft document that must be presented to the authorities for the
grant of consent to establish and once the approval is granted our team of
experts can help in installation of effluent treatment plants, sewage treatment
plants, scrubbers, dust collectors that help in bringing down the pollution
levels and that ultimately results in lowering of the score on the pollution
Index based upon which authorities categorise the units, after that, we just do
not rush to apply for consent to operate clearance but a thorough lab study and
testing is done to ensure that the parameters are within range and are as
expected and finally during the grant of licenses, we are always there to
assist on the queries posed by authorities.
