Frequently asked questions
When should EIA be addressed?
Address EIA during project preparation — for new technology, capacity change, waste, a significant emission, noise or transport source, or land intervention. Early assessment limits documentation rework.
Which impacts are assessed in EIA?
Impacts on public health and the environment are assessed, including effects on animals, plants, ecosystems, soil, water, air, climate, landscape, natural resources, tangible property and cultural monuments.
What is an expert assessment in air protection?
An expert assessment evaluates the source, technology, emissions, operational context and link to the operating permit or operational change. It serves as expert documentation for the operator and administrative authorities.
What must a source operating manual contain?
An operating manual typically contains identification of stationary sources and the facility, design capacity data, description of technological operations, operation control and monitoring methods, block diagram, and data on stacks, chimneys and emission reduction equipment.
Can you help with an operating permit change?
Yes. We help prepare technical documentation, description of technology change, links to emission measurement, operating manual, dispersion study, expert assessment or other annexes according to authority requirements.
