Step 2: The Pollution Control Board will review the proposal and conduct inquiries as necessary before issuing the authorization in Form II to the local body or operator of the facility, or any other authorized agency, within 60 days.

Step 3: The authorization will lay down compliance criteria and environmental standards mentioned under Schedule I and II, along with any other conditions required.
