An environmental compliance audit is where an environmental consultant will visit your business / facility and inspect your operation to ensure that they comply with environmental legislation.
In its most basic form a typical audit will consist of a number of days spent looking at the physical characteristics of your operation, and also studying emissions, records and competence.
A report is then produced with suggestions to be followed in order to bring your business / facility in to compliance.
A compliance audit is particularly useful if your company wishes to maintain a blemish free environmental record, which can be important in the maintenance and acquisition of contracts of supply etc.
For any queries with regard to compliance audits please ring the office for a free initial consultation.
Please Contact the Office if you have any questions.
Yes and No.
Yes.
Example: Environmental Permitting Regulations 2006 - 2010
Some regulations such as the environmental permitting regulations may well require you to change the way you work, perhaps you are moving from an old "para" exemption or you have out grown your Environmental permitting exemption, either way the way you work may have to become a little neater in order to comply to a permit. Record will have to kept of what materials / waste come and go, and some people within your organisation may have to undergo some form of technical competence training.
No.
Example: Clean Air Act 1993
With most businesses operating within the boundaries set by this piece of legislation there will be no need to change the way you work in order to comply with this legislation. Unlike environmental permitting which a very proactive legislative tool, other acts and regulation work in the back ground and although compliance is necessary to prevent action against your operation / business, the chances are your operation / business already complies anyway.
Please Contact the Office if you have any questions.
It makes sense to try and reuse soil, perhaps on the same site that it was excavated from, or perhaps another site that your firm is involved with.

"Waste" soils that are generated in construction may not be waste at all, although proving that soils are not waste is probably more time consuming than just assuming they are and complying with the relevant legislation. In there position statement* with regards to the definition of waste the Environment Agency state that, with regards to soil is not waste when it is:
Any clearer? There is also debate of say using soil to level hollows within land / construction sites is actually recovery or disposal, there are environmental permit exemptions available for the use of small small quantities of soil for such purposes, these cover up to 5000 tones of material, if you are building roads, but around 100 for other uses, see U1 and U 19. If you don't "fit" for an exemption or recovery operation then you probably need an environmental permit for a landfill operation, albeit an inert operation, this will require a bespoke permit. Please Contact the Office if you have any questions. |
