Check out how to apply for NOC from the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board with Corpbiz support:

1. Step: Basic Checks
   Know your industry type (Red, Orange, and Green) before filing the application because it will help you determine what types of pollution control systems and permits you will need alongside CTE and CTO. Our associates will conduct your eligibility assessment, prepare your layout plan, draft your process flow, and suggest ETP/APCs.


2. Step: Create an Account for Online Filing
   Create an ID and password to start the Form filing process on the JSPCB Online Consent Management & Monitoring System (OCMMS). Fill out details about your industry, business, lease, process of manufacturing, water use, air emissions, and effluent generation.


3. Step: Upload Your Documents
   Upload your papers, like business registration certificates, ownership agreements, flow chart of the production process, pollution control plans/designs, EC clearance, and site layout.


4. Step: Review by the Board
   You don't need to do anything here, as we'll answer all and any questions and clarifications by the JSPCB after discussing them with you. Most queries are related to drainage setup, ETP layout, land ownership, and ACP systems.


5. Step: Inspection
   Just an online examination is not enough for a CTE- the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board (JSPCB) will visit your site and check if your site location is in a permitted zone, away from residential areas, and capable of installation of pollution control setups.


6. Step: Get Your CTE
   If the authority is satisfied with your location setting and plans, they will grant you the consent to establish; you can now start with the installation of the plant, machinery, PCS, ETP, STP, and air pollution control devices.


7. Step: Apply for CTO
   Compile and submit your invoices, installation records, photos of equipment and systems, CTE certificate, compliance report, and trial run/test reports to the board for obtaining the NOC from the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board.


8. Step: Final Visit
   To make sure that your systems are up to the plans, the JSPCB will conduct one final inspection and check if everything is up to code, meaning if your systems are installed or not.


9. Step: Grant of the CTO
   Get your Jharkhand Pollution Control Board (JPCB) Consent/NOC certificate and start your operations. Apart from submitting your paperwork/form filing and coordinating with the concerned authorities, Corpbiz will help you maintain waste disposal records, renew your CTO on time, and inform the board if there are any changes in the process.

What Are the Types of Jharkhand Pollution Control Board (JPCB) Consent/NOC?

• Consent to Establish: Very important for a manufacturing and processing business like you, before you set a new unit or expand your existing one, only granted if your land is in a suitable location, a detailed project report, a manufacturing process for the proposed activities, and pollution control and waste disposal systems plans.
• Consent to Operate: You only need a CTO once you are fully done with your construction and plant setup after the CTE grant. Not only recommended but also one of the most common permits for almost all types of businesses actively engaged in industrial and semi-production activities. The Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board (JSPCB) will verify if your pollution control systems are in line with their rules.
• Hazardous Waste Management: Apart from your CTO, you will need an HWM permit if you're handling dangerous chemicals and related components that are likely to cause pollution in the environment.
• Biomedical Waste: Get biomedical waste authorization if you are a hospital, a pathology lab, a blood bank, a diagnostic center, or a research institution along with your consents.
• Solid Waste: In case you are dealing with solid waste, then you need to get the SWM authorization as well as your NOCs and consent from the Board.
• Plastic/Battery/E-Waste: You need a separate permit if you're producers, brand owners, importers, recyclers, and refurbishers dealing with materials packaging, end-of-life cycle management, scrap handling, transport of waste, and the recycling/disposal process.
• Environment Clearance: Large companies/projects need an EC from the MoEF&CC, SEIAA, and DEIAA, mostly from the red categories. Let Corpbiz guide you to process your application through the PARIVESH portal prior to applying for the CTO.
• Groundwater Extraction: If you want to extract water via a borewell or tubewell for your activities, then you need a prior grant via the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) online portal. Most of the time, you will have to show your rainwater harvesting plan, conservation systems, meters on the borewell, and recycling plans.
