IPPC : Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (UK)
Environmental management under the UK Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control is about much more than pollution abatement: operating under the IPPC framework requires an understanding of upstream environmental impacts, the surroundings of the installation and the application of an environmental management system geared towards performance measurement and reporting, as well as close process control and sound emission abatement techniques.
Preparing for IPPC
Preparations for IPPC must commence well in advance of the deadline for permit applications. EuGeos' IPPC Capability Audit enables operators to plan essential preparatory work that must be completed prior to the application. We assess all aspects of current site performance relevant to IPPC, show you where you need to gather information and strengthen systems, and provide you with data-gathering tools to build a portfolio for your permit application.
Site Report
Site condition reports are an important element of all IPPC permit applications. The exact form of environmental assessment needed for each Site Report depends upon the level of risk present and the extent of existing knowledge about past activities on site. EuGeos' phased approach to Site Report preparation delivers a document that is an effective baseline against which your property stewardship can be judged in future while keeping sampling and analytical costs to a minimum.
Management Systems
EuGeos will help you to extend your environmental management system to address all the necessary operational areas. We ensure that pursuit of BAT (Best Available Techniques) is embedded within the organisation so that compliance becomes a matter of routine. We also ensure that performance measurement is built into all areas of the ems. This will reduce the workload involved in preparing site returns for the Environment Agency and the European Pollution Register. For those seeking to automate the collection and submission of emissions monitoring data, we can also advise on appropriate software tools.
IPPC Application
An IPPC Application is not only a justification to the Regulators of the way your factory is run, it is also an important internal document that provides guidance to managers, and a foundation for future improvement programmes.
At EuGeos we make sure that your submission both fulfil the regulatory requirements and is a useable management tool!
IPPC and Environmental Reporting
With data on emissions from your site available to the public and pressure groups through the Environment Agency's Pollution Inventory and through the EPER, it will be more important than ever for operators themselves to put this data into context for stakeholders through site or company environmental reports. Draw on EuGeos' experience to compile effective reports efficiently, and do not find yourself left out of the debate about your own environmental performance.
