Environmental Clearance & Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
As per SO1533 dated 14th Sep 2006, the Government of India has identified 17 activities under the EIA notification. For any new project, expansion of an existing project, or change in a project-mix or process of an existing industry, prior environmental clearance is mandatory after the location is selected.

These activities are further classified as Category "A" or "B" based on threshold limits specified under Schedule 1 of the activities of said notification. Category "A" projects are cleared by the Environment Appraisal Committee (EAC) at MoEF New Delhi, and Category "B" projects are cleared by the State Level Environmental Appraisal Committee (SEAC).
Category "B" projects are further subdivided into B-1, which need an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be done, and B-2, which do not require EIA for prior clearance. All Category "A" projects need public consultation and an EIA to be submitted before environmental clearance is issued.

- Sector 17 (Pesticides Industry)

Excellent Enviro undertakes the preparation of EIA reports in line with MoEF requirements. We establish a baseline environment regarding air, water, soil, noise, ecology, biodiversity, and socioeconomic conditions prevailing at the selected site. The process is studied with respect to its impact on the above, and an environmental management plan is prepared to ensure the activity is environmentally friendly and deserves environmental clearance.
