 Environmental Compliance Plans, Permits and Reporting | 754 Kb |
Chances are that environmental regulations impact your operations. The difficulty that many organizations have is determining what specific regulations apply to their specific operations. Once understood, some regulations are relatively easy to comply with while others can be cumbersome. Many organizations do not have internal environmental professional resources to manage the more complex environmental regulations such as planning, permitting, and reporting. This is especially true during economically challenging times, when in-house resources have multiple responsibilities and, based on operational priorities, may not have ample time to dedicate to environmental compliance matters.
BB&E’s staff of environmental professionals can assist your operation’s environmental compliance needs at the precise level of effort you need. BB&E’s low overhead and flexibility allows for unique, innovative, and cost effective solutions to meet your most challenging environmental compliance matters. BB&E environmental professionals have environmental compliance experience in all 50 states and Puerto Rico and can:
-
- Analyze your operations to maximize exemptions to environmental regulations;
-

If your organization also subscribes to an environmental management system such as ISO 14001, identifying the legal and other requirements that affect your operations and monitoring your environmental compliance are both key elements of that international standard. So having a robust environmental compliance program can help you meet that standard, reduce the risk of environmental violations, and help your organization qualify for environmental recognition programs.
