Elaborate the environmental, economic and social factors, which are to be recognized while setting up an Industry.

Economic and Social factors are recognized and assessed while setting up an industry. Environmental factors must be taken into consideration in industrial setting up. Proximity of water sources, highway, major settlements, markets for products and raw material resources is desired for economy of production, but all the above listed systems must be away for environmental protection. Industries are, therefore, required to be sited, striking a balance between economic and environmental considerations. In such a selected site, the following factors must be recognized: No forest land shall be converted into non-forest activity for the sustenance of the industry. No prime agricultural land shall be converted into industrial site. Within the acquired site the industry must locate itself at the lowest location to remain obscured from general sight. Land acquired shall be sufficiently large to provide space for appropriate treatment of waste water still left for treatment after maximum possible reuse and recycle. Reclaimed (treated) waste water shall be used to raise green belt and to create water body for aesthetics, recreation and if possible, for aquaculture. The green belt shall be 1/2 km wide around the battery limit of the industry. For industry having odour problem it shall be a kilometer wide. The green belt between two adjoining large scale industries shall be one kilometer. Enough space should be provided for storage of solid wastes so that these could be available for possible reuse. Lay out and form of the industry that may come up in the area must conform to the landscape of the area without affecting the scenic features of that place. Associated township of the industry must be created at a space having physiographic barrier between the industry and the township. Each industry is required to maintain three ambient air quality measuring stations within 120 degree angle between stations.
