We are utilizing an Isocyanate chemical for one of our paint products. For the decontamination and disposal of the empty barrels, we plan to use isopropyl alcohol, which will then be discarded as hazardous waste.
Currently, we are considering storing 400 liters of Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA). We would like to know if there are any licensing requirements for this storage in the state of Karnataka.

Storing large quantities of Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), especially 400 liters, may require specific licenses and adherence to safety regulations, as it is classified as a flammable liquid under the Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989.
In Karnataka, the storage of hazardous substances is regulated by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB). You will need to apply for Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO) from KSPCB. The process involves submitting an application with details about the nature and quantity of the hazardous substance, safety measures in place, and a plan for disposal of waste.
Moreover, the storage of IPA may also fall under the purview of the Petroleum Act, 1934 and the Petroleum Rules, 2002, as IPA is a Class B petroleum product. You may need to obtain a license from the concerned District Authority (District Magistrate or Deputy Commissioner) for storage of IPA.
I would recommend contacting KSPCB and the District Authority for precise information on the licensing requirements and safety regulations. Please ensure that you comply with all regulations to avoid penalties and ensure the safety of your employees and the environment.

Well, for starters, you have to first comply with the Hazardous Waste Management Rules, 2016. If you are an occupier and any hazardous waste (such as isopropyl alcohol) is intended to be discarded by you, then you should first file application with KSPCB, duly accompanied by copies of valid consent permits to establish & operate, as granted by KSPCB under the Water & Air Acts. If your application is granted by the KSPCB within four months from the filing date, the KSPCB will allot you a authorising certificate/License (Form 2) along with a copy of its field inspection report certifying that your facility substantially complies with statutory requirements involving collection, storage, packaging, transportation, treatment, processing, use, destruction, recycling, recovery, pre/co-processing requirements under the law. Once you receive the statutory permit, you will, however, be required to maintain a full record of all hazardous wastes managed by you in Form 3, including submitting fully filled up statutory returns to KSPCB in Form 4.
