    Dear All,

    Thanks for valuable suggestions and feedback on Environment Clearance Requirement. i was in impression for exemption of EC if there will be no increase in Pollution load such as Air,water and Waste.

    There was a draft notification in 2009 ,which says exemption of EC if there is no change in pollution load due to proposed expansion.

    Now got clear based on expert suggestion.

    Thanks again for such valuable suggestion and feedback .

    The new products proposed by you may not be appearing in the EC notification but you can always find out the category (mentioned in the Annex of the notification) under which these will fall.

    I can help you in confidence if you send me the details on my e mail if you like.

    Best of luck for starting new products.

    Dear Sir

    As per EIA notifications till date, the case would fall under either hazardous or non-hazardous category depending upon the substances used in the reactor. 

    As you have mentioned that the products do not get mentioned in EC, NOC or Consent to Operate, suggest you should first get clarification from respective SEAC through a simple letter, which could be put up in their meeting. The SEAC can decide for either directing you to undertake an EIA or provide you with specific input. You can proceed accordingly

    This is the best and efficient way to get the case a fair verdict

    expansion needs prior intimation to board. later site is feasible for expansion.load of reactors and new products raw materiel sources may be prepared  as annex  and take permission from district industrial corporation(DIC)

    Yes, 

    It require EC from concerned authority because of addition of reactor and change in product also. It also depend on the condition mentioned in your existing granted EC or NOC.
