Water law notification support

A precise description of the notified water-related works

We start with the proposed activities and their relationship with water and the surroundings. The assumed notification route is reviewed against actual parameters rather than the name of the works alone. We establish what location, technical and design information is available and what needs clarification before the documentation is prepared for subsequent formal steps.

We develop the description and organise the relevant information and agreed appendices. The scope stated in the text is checked against drawings and data supplied by the designer. Clear proposal boundaries are particularly important, preventing different activities from being combined without explaining their relationship and significance for the procedural route selected for the proposed works.

A notification is distinct from a water permit application and from the technical report supporting such an application. If clarified information points to a different procedure, we explain the distinction and identify the documentation changes needed. The outcome keeps the proposal presented by the client aligned with the material prepared for the identified notification route.

Water permit application support

Water permit documentation tied to the actual proposal

We define the application subject: proposed or existing water use, its scale and its connections with infrastructure and the surroundings. Existing decisions, design documents and operational information are reviewed. Confirmed data is separated from parameters still needing agreement so that the proposal describes the solution the client actually intends to build, use or continue operating.

We coordinate the material needed for the identified procedure, including the appropriate technical report and appendices. Location information, quantities and descriptions are checked for consistency between documents. During the proceedings, we help prepare technical explanations and agreed supplementary material, connecting questions with specific proposal parameters and the evidence on which the application is based.

The service covers the application and procedural support; preparation of the technical report itself is a distinct documentation task that can be included by agreement. We clarify which materials already exist and which need to be developed. This separates design work, document preparation and procedural explanations instead of presenting them as an undefined package.

Technical data

Subject Defined water use or water services
Service type Water permit application and support during the procedure
Assessment basis and requirements Proposal description, technical and location documents, and requirements appropriate to the defined application scope.
Method
  1. Define the application subject and water-use parameters.
  2. Review existing documents and identify information to be added.
  3. Coordinate technical material and prepare a consistent application.
  4. Support technical explanations concerning the documentation during proceedings.

Integrated permit application support

One installation, a consistent account of its impacts

We start by defining installation boundaries, describing the technology and establishing whether the work concerns a new permit or an amendment. For an amendment, we compare the installation covered by the existing decision with the proposed changes. Information on materials, resources, emissions and operating arrangements is organised around shared balances and parameters across the application.

We coordinate specialist assessments relevant to the installation and check their connections. Technical descriptions, schedules and supporting explanations are developed within the agreed documentation scope. Procedural support includes preparing appropriate technical clarifications and supplementary material. Consistency between process information, calculations and the proposed description of operating conditions is maintained as the application package develops.

The application should describe an installation in terms that relate to the operator's actual work. We therefore explain the parameters and assumptions underpinning the documentation and which changes could affect its validity. Scope depends on the installation and purpose of the procedure; preparing an application is distinct from the authority issuing or amending a permit.

Technical data

Subject An installation and the impacts addressed by its integrated permit application
Service type Application for an integrated permit or an amendment
Assessment basis and requirements Installation documents, the existing decision for amendments, and requirements and reference documents applicable to the activity assessed.
Method
  1. Define installation boundaries and the scope of the new or amended application.
  2. Agree common balances, parameters and operating scenarios.
  3. Coordinate specialist assessments and prepare application documentation.
  4. Provide agreed technical explanations during the procedure.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive an application for an integrated permit or an amendment, with the agreed assessments and supporting material. The documentation describes the installation using consistent data and explains the assumptions adopted. It supports the permitting procedure and helps the operator understand the links between technology, operating parameters and the environmental assessment presented in the application.

Coordinated environmental permit applications

Separate procedures built on shared installation data

We first review the installation's activities, existing documents and the purpose of the package. We identify areas needing an individual application or notification and data shared by several documents. For a modernisation, it is important to distinguish unchanged parameters from those affecting existing documentation and the scope of the next procedural steps for the installation.

We organise preparation activities and specialist contributions. Common assumptions about capacity, operating hours and processes are carried into the relevant documents. Descriptions and schedules are checked so that submissions for different environmental topics do not present conflicting versions of the installation. Information and appendices specific to each separate procedure are identified alongside the shared material.

The package includes only the agreed applications and notifications identified for the scope reviewed. It does not merge separate procedures into one decision or replace an integrated permit. Clear separation of documents and their dependencies helps the client's team coordinate its own work and update information when parameters change before commissioning or during operation.

Technical data

Subject Installation permits and notifications outside one integrated permitting procedure
Service type Coordinated package of separate environmental applications
Assessment basis and requirements The installation's activities, existing decisions and documentation requirements identified separately for each environmental topic.
Method
  1. Identify applications and notifications relevant to the defined activity.
  2. Agree shared data and requirements specific to each procedure.
  3. Coordinate specialists and prepare the agreed package components.
  4. Check parameter consistency and dependencies between the documents.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive the agreed package of applications and notifications, organised by topic and procedure. Documents use shared installation data while identifying material specific to each matter. This helps the operator or developer coordinate information preparation and subsequent steps, with a clear understanding of what each document covers and which decisions or inputs it depends on.

Air emissions permit application support

From process information to emissions documentation

We identify processes and emission sources within the application boundary and their relationships. We collect information on materials, fuels, equipment, exhaust arrangements and operating hours. For modifications, existing documentation is compared with the proposed solution. Supplier information and previous measurement results are reviewed for their relevance to the operating arrangements being assessed rather than transferred without context.

This evidence supports emission calculations and the analyses needed for the application. Assumptions and methods are selected with regard to the process and available information. We check consistency between emission quantities, release-point characteristics and operating scenarios, identifying material data gaps for clarification. Findings are presented in connection with the installation's technical description and its surroundings.

The documentation explains the assessment conditions and the basis of values presented in the application, enabling the operator to relate it to actual installation use. The service covers an application with calculations. Separate measurements or design of technical modifications are agreed according to the specific task rather than included by default within the documentation commission.

Technical data

Subject Sources of gaseous or particulate emissions from a defined installation
Service type Emissions documentation and air permit application
Assessment basis and requirements Process and emissions data, operating conditions, and requirements and calculation methods appropriate to the sources assessed.
Method
  1. Identify processes, release points and operating-time information.
  2. Review source-data suitability and define operating scenarios.
  3. Complete calculations and analyses within the agreed scope.
  4. Prepare the application and reconcile descriptions with the results.

Environmental advisory support

A clear response to a specific environmental question

We start with the decision you need to make: whether a proposed change needs further assessment, what information is missing or how to respond to an identified risk. We establish the question and the operational context so that the advice relates to the actual process, facility or project stage rather than a generic description of the topic.

We examine the decisions, technical descriptions, test results or correspondence relevant to the question. We explain how the information connects and distinguish supported findings from matters requiring further evidence. Where several courses of action are available, we outline what each means for working arrangements, the documentation needed and the involvement of appropriate technical specialists.

The outcome may be an expert opinion, recommendations or a plan for further action. Its depth reflects the complexity of the issue and the available evidence. If documents alone cannot support a reliable answer, we identify the necessary measurements, checks or separate study rather than presenting an assumption as an established finding.

Technical data

Subject Specific obligations, project changes and operational risks
Service type Specialist consultation and expert opinion
Assessment basis and requirements Documents relating to the issue and environmental requirements considered against the facts supplied by the client.
Method
  1. Define the question and the decision the client needs to make.
  2. Review technical data, decisions and relevant correspondence.
  3. Compare possible actions and identify information gaps.
  4. Prepare a reasoned response and organise the next steps.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

Support with inspections and authority recommendations

From inspection preparation to follow-up action

Preparation starts with the inspection scope or the authority's written request. We compare it with decisions, measurement results, records and the installation's actual operating arrangements. This reveals gaps in the evidence and matters that the operator needs to explain. Documents are organised so that each requirement can be linked to the available evidence of how it is being addressed.

Within the agreed scope, we help explain technical issues and prepare supporting material for responses. Following the inspection, we review the findings and recommendations, separating documentation tasks from organisational or technical actions. We identify dependencies and the evidence needed to record completion, recognising that preparing a written response is not the same as resolving the underlying issue.

The service provides expert support within the defined inspection scope. Legal representation is available only through an appropriate partner. Where findings indicate a need for new measurements, installation changes or further documentation, we explain their place in the follow-up plan; carrying out those additional tasks requires a separately agreed scope.

Technical data

Subject Inspection documentation and follow-up obligations for an installation
Service type Preparation, expert participation and follow-up planning
Assessment basis and requirements Inspection scope, authority correspondence, facility decisions and evidence relating to the obligations under review.
Method
  1. Map available documents to the subjects covered by the inspection.
  2. Identify gaps and prepare technical explanations.
  3. Review findings and dependencies between recommended actions.
  4. Prepare an action plan and a way to document completion.

Framework agreement and ongoing environmental support

Ongoing support shaped around your facility

Environmental support needs to address routine operations alongside changes to processes, equipment and working arrangements. We begin by reviewing the facility's activities, available decisions, existing documentation and data collection practices. Together, we identify matters requiring regular attention and issues arising from expansion or modernisation that need their own specialist assessment or documentation.

This review informs the scope of support, allocation of responsibilities and work schedule. We structure information flows between operations staff, project teams and technical specialists. Within the agreed scope, we review documents, prepare material for communication with authorities and explain how proposed changes affect the next steps. Periodic reporting makes open issues and completed actions visible to the team.

The framework agreement defines the boundaries of the service and how additional work is commissioned. Measurements, modelling or documentation for a new development are included only as agreed. Findings reflect the information available at the time, so significant changes at the facility provide a reason to revisit priorities and update the support plan.

Technical data

Subject Operational obligations, documentation and changes at the facility
Service type Ongoing advisory and coordination support
Assessment basis and requirements Facility decisions and records, the agreed service scope and requirements applicable to the matters being supported.
Method
  1. Review documents, processes and responsibility for supplying data.
  2. Agree priorities, a schedule and a route for raising new issues.
  3. Coordinate analyses and materials for the agreed obligations.
  4. Report progress periodically and update the action plan.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

Environmental data preparation for ESG reporting

Build an environmental dataset with a traceable evidence trail

We agree the environmental information needed by the reporting team, organisational boundaries and reference period. Available data on the selected topics, such as energy, emissions, water or waste, is reviewed. Information owners, indicator definitions and collection frequency are identified before records from different facilities, systems or documents are combined into a consolidated dataset.

Units, calculation methods and aggregation rules are organised consistently. Measured or documented values are distinguished from estimates and missing information. For relevant indicators, we establish a route from the original record through any calculation to the reported value. This helps explain discrepancies, reduce double counting and prepare a repeatable process for updating information in the next reporting period.

The service concerns the agreed environmental dataset, not automatically the complete ESG report or every area of the organisation. We identify completeness and comparability limitations where they affect interpretation. Preparing the package is not independent assurance or a standalone declaration of report compliance; its purpose is to organise the agreed information base for reporting.

Technical data

Subject Environmental indicators and data sources within the agreed ESG reporting scope.
Service type Data preparation, collection methodology and audit trail development.
Assessment basis and requirements Agreed reporting scope, indicator definitions, organisational boundaries, reporting period and available supporting records.
Method
  1. Define indicators, boundaries and responsibility for supplying information.
  2. Review sources, units and comparability of the available data.
  3. Organise calculations, aggregation and the trail from source to output.
  4. Prepare the package and a method for updates in subsequent periods.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive an environmental data package and collection methodology, including indicator definitions, sources and calculation explanations. Estimates, gaps and comparability limitations are identified alongside responsibilities for future updates.

Ambient air quality and dust monitoring

Observe air quality alongside activity and site conditions

The campaign is designed around the investor's or operator's objective, the activity involved and locations sensitive to its effects. Parameters, monitoring positions and the observation period account for background conditions and possible unrelated sources. The scope aims to enable meaningful comparison between results and the progress of construction works or installation operations within the surrounding area.

Measurements are performed by an appropriate partner or subcontractor coordinated by KFB Enviro. We organise results and relate them to information about activity, weather and events affecting interpretation. Analysis describes variation and trends during the campaign, considering data quality and continuity. Individual episodes are distinguished from recurring patterns that may warrant attention or additional investigation.

An elevated ambient reading does not by itself establish the contribution of a particular source. The strength of interpretation depends on monitoring locations, parameters and contextual information. We explain whether the evidence supports a connection with site activity or requires additional comparisons. A short campaign is not automatically treated as a description of air quality throughout the year.

Technical data

Subject Ambient air quality and dust around projects, works or operating facilities.
Service type Ambient monitoring campaign delivered by a coordinated specialist partner.
Assessment basis and requirements Observation purpose, activity characteristics, local conditions and methods appropriate to the selected air quality parameters.
Method
  1. Define parameters, monitoring locations and the intended comparisons.
  2. Coordinate the campaign with an appropriate partner or subcontractor.
  3. Compare observations with activity and surrounding condition information.
  4. Assess trends, episodes and limitations on attributing their cause.
Delivery model Partner/subcontractor coordinated by KFB Enviro

What you receive

You receive data, a report and a trend assessment from the completed campaign. The report describes observation coverage, time-dependent results and interpretation against available activity and contextual information. It highlights events requiring attention and assessment limits, supporting further monitoring or review of construction and operating practices around the site.
