Waste Transfer Station Environmental Permit Application
SWEL were approached by a Construction company in the
southeast of England who whilst running a fairly large center of operations for
their Highway, Landscaping and Concrete Business. They found themselves needing
to comply under the
Environmental Permitting Regulations. There previous
Paragraph 13 exemption was close to expiring, and so on a short timescale
SWEL were engaged to bring their operation in to compliance.
The company
were initially advised to apply for an Inert Waste Transfer Permit,
which would have left them being able to receive only a very narrow
spectrum of wastes, and may have left them open to non-compliance
issues.
SWEL recommended a Waste Transfer Environmental Permit, which caters for
a very wide spectrum of input wastes.
SWEL managed the application to make sure the application was duly made,
providing supporting documentation such as Environmental Management
Documents and Site Plans.
By recommending this broader permit, SWEL have hopefully avoided the
need for reapplications in the future due to new input materials having
to be catered for. Making the application a little more future proof.
