State Pollution Control Board, Odisha (SPCB-O) - Overview
The Odisha State Prevention and Control of Pollution (P&CP) Board was formed in execution of sub-section (1) of section 4 of the Water (P&CP) (Amendment) Act, in the former Dept of Science, Technology & Environment, Government of Odisha. The Board also operates as the State Board u/s 5 of the Air (P&CP) Act, 1981. The complete state of Odisha has been declared an Air Pollution Control Area since 18th July 2002. The Board was renamed State Pollution Control Board, Odisha (SPCB-O). One of the main responsibilities of the Board is to issue SPCB-O consent certificates.
State Pollution Control Board, Odisha Consent to Establish (CTE)
As per norms of the Water (P&CP) Act, 1974 and Air (P&CP) Act, 1981, all new proposing projects (Developmental and Industrial) must obtain "Consent to Establish (CTE)" (popularly termed as SPCB NOC ) from the Board. SPCB-O CTE is obtained by applying to Board with specified fees, necessary documents, and information via online services.
