Cooperation procedure in the scope of conducting environmental audits, the so-called EDD (ang. Environmental Due Diligence) - phase I I and phase II, allowing to identify the source of origin, types of pollutants and their concentration:
Phase I of the EDD Environmental Audit
The main goal of Stage I, apart from checking compliance with formal and legal obligations in relation to the environment by a given company, is to collect information on potential sources of pollution and the threats they pose by:
- establishing a list of objects that are a potential source of pollution, e.g. industrial plants, post-industrial areas, landfills, fuel stations, reloading bases, etc.
- establishing a list of substances that are expected to occur due to the type of activity carried out in a given facility / real estate or in their vicinity,
- identification of geological conditions and possible directions of pollution migration,
- designing drillings, determining the necessary number of soil and water samples to be collected and the scope of analyzes.
Phase II of the EDD Environmental Audit
Phase II activities focus on determining the characteristics of the soil and water environment and interpreting the results in terms of pollution in accordance with the requirements of Polish law.
From the areas classified as probable pollution areas around the potential sources identified in Phase I, samples (soil and / and groundwater / groundwater) are taken and then analyzed to determine the concentration of potential pollutants. The result of the activities carried out is a report containing information on:
- assessment of a given property in terms of the likelihood of contamination,
- location and number of downloaded samples,
- the results of the analyzes and their interpretation,
- designating areas for rehabilitation and proposing remedial action methods.
Phase III of the EDD Environmental Audit
It is a phase that includes detailed design and execution of reclamation or remediation works, identified contamination of the soil and water environment.
