Environmental Compliance
There is a Duty of Care on all organisations, to ensure that their operations do
not harm the environment, directly or indirectly.
Some sectors are regulated under license or permit, for example intense agriculture,
waste processing and the food and drinks industry. All sectors are legally obliged
to comply with whatever environmental legislation is applicable to their business.
Whether you operate a manufacturing process or a small office, you need to understand
your environmental legal obligations.
We have vast experience in environmental compliance, particularly PPC Regulations
(The Pollution Prevention and Control [Scotland] Regulations 2012). We are also
extensively experienced in the development, implementation and review of Environmental
Management Systems in line with, and certifiable to ISO 14001.
There are many areas in which we can offer support and/or guidance. Here are some
examples:-
• Identification of environmental aspects and impacts
• Waste Management
• Pollution Prevention
• Incident Response Planning
• Environmental Reporting
• Identification of applicable environmental legislation
• Devising practical solutions to demonstrate compliance
We offer in-depth knowledge of PPC Permitting requirements, particularly in the waste-management
sector, and can assist with the following:-
• PPC Permit Application
• PPC Permit Variation
• PPC Permit general compliance reporting (data returns, emissions reporting,
process efficiency etc.)
• Responding to upgrade conditions
• Devising sampling & monitoring plans
• PPC Permit site surrender
• Liaising with SEPA
• Interpretation of Regulations and relevant sector / horizontal guidance documents
• Liaising with 3rd party consultants and laboratories
• Assistance in determining BAT (best available technique/technology) for your
business requirements
We have a long history of liaison with SEPA officers, and understand their expectations.
This unique insight enables us to guide our clients smoothly through license applications
and subsequent compliance. As with all services we provide, we are happy to discuss
or advise on projects either existing or at the planning stage.
This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Please call us to discuss your requirement,
and we will advise how we can assist.
