The Environmental Protection Law specifies when your installation should have a permit for the release of substances or energy into the environment. Which means, that:
Operation of an installation that introduces:
- introduction of gases or dust into the air
- discharging sewage into waters or into the ground
- waste generation
is allowed with authorization, if required
Our experts, during the audit or after reading the documentation sent to us, will confirm whether your installation operates in accordance with the law, i.e. whether it has the appropriate permits or should have an integrated permit in the case of an installation that may cause high environmental pollution.
When is an integrated permit needed?
An integrated permit will be needed if you want to run an installation that may pollute the environment. For example, it could be an installation:
- for the production of energy and fuels;
- metal production and processing;
- in the mineral industry - that is related to the processing of rock materials;
- in the chemical industry - used, for example, for the production of fertilizers, pesticides, plastics, dyes;
- in waste management - eg for the recovery, neutralization, storage or storage of waste;
- for the production of paper, chipboards, fibreboards or OSB;
- in animal slaughterhouses, dairies, slaughterhouses;
- for rearing or breeding poultry or pigs.
Whether you need an integrated permit and your installation must meet Best Available Techniques - BAT depends on the type and scale of activities carried out in the installation.
We invite you to contact us whenever you start a new business, when you want to modify or extend an existing installation, or when you are operating and you are not sure if you are properly fulfilling all your obligations in the field of environmental protection. We will suggest whether a new integrated permit will be needed, a change of existing permits, or whether the notifications alone will be sufficient.
