Hazardous waste Authorization
Introduction
Hazardous waste is defined as any waste that poses a threat to human health or the environment due to characteristics such as physical, chemical, biological, reactive, poisonous, combustible, explosive, or corrosiveness, whether alone or in combination with other wastes or substances and shall include
- Waste falling under column (3) of Schedule I;
- Waste meeting or exceeding the concentration limits set for constituents in classes A and B of Schedule II; or waste meeting or exceeding any of the characteristics set forth in Schedule I.as defined in Schedule II, class C; and
- wastes included in Part A of Schedule III that are imported or exported such wastes or wastes that are not listed in Part A but are dangerous Part C of Schedule III specifies the features;
Every business entity that engages in a hazardous activity requires authorization from the Concerned State Pollution Control Board (SPCB)/Pollution Control Committee (PCC) along with Consent to Operate Certificate (CTO). Procedure and regulation mentioned in HazardousandOtherWastes(ManagementandTransboundaryMovement)Rules,2016.

6- Hazardous waste Management Plan
Procedure for Registration of Hazardous Waste Authorization
- Create user id and Password- It is an online procedure in which the applicant creates a user id and password after providing some basic information such as their name, phone number, and email address.
- Document verification- Create a user id and password, then organise the papers according to the checklist and save them as pdf and jpg files.
- Application- Fill out the application with the required information, such as water, air, product, and raw material information, among other things.
- Payment- After you’ve submitted your application, you’ll need to pay the government fee, which is based on an investment that has been certified by a chartered accountant.
- Verification- Following the submission of your application, officials from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB)/Pollution Control Committee (PCC) evaluate your information and, if any flaws are discovered, they are returned back for revision, or if everything is in order, they are sent for Action Taken Report (ATR).
- Modification- After receiving a request for modification, make the changes within the timeframe set by the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB)/Pollution Control Committee (PCC)
- Action taken Report (ATR)- A report on the actions taken will be prepared by a Junior Environmental Engineer (JEE) and sent to a meeting or approval, depending on the situation.
- Approved- The Regional Officer will approve the application either directly or after a meeting, depending on the case.
