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.

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.

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.

Support during administrative proceedings

Responses grounded in evidence and the authority's questions

We first read the request alongside the available documentation and previous correspondence. Questions needing a clearer description are separated from those revealing missing data, inconsistent assumptions or a need for further assessment. This establishes what can be answered using existing material and what requires input from the developer, operator or designer before a response can be completed.

Responses are structured so that each can be traced to the relevant question. Supplementary material may include technical descriptions, data schedules, corrected assumptions or outputs from agreed analyses. We check how new information affects other documents, because even a single parameter change may require revisions to several related tables, maps and conclusions in the submitted package.

The service focuses on substantive explanations and technical documentation. Where a question extends beyond technical assessment, we identify the need to coordinate with the person providing legal support. The client can see which elements of the response are complete and which depend on additional evidence, helping organise the subsequent steps in the proceedings.

Technical data

Subject Authority requests, supplementary documentation and technical explanations
Service type Technical support during administrative proceedings
Assessment basis and requirements The request, previously submitted documents, correspondence and current project or installation information.
Method
  1. Map the authority's questions to the relevant document sections.
  2. Identify data and assessments needed to answer each question.
  3. Prepare explanations and the agreed supporting material.
  4. Check updates for consistency with other documents in the proceedings.

Post-completion environmental assessment

Understanding actual impacts after commissioning

The assessment programme starts with the scope in the project's documents. We establish environmental components, locations and assessment conditions, together with information required from the operator. Measurements must be linked to the facility's operating state: results obtained at partial load or during unusual activity may not be comparable with the assumptions adopted for the development.

We coordinate the necessary measurements and collect records of how the installation operated during the work. Results are compared with the relevant decision conditions and earlier assessment. Differences are explained in light of design changes, actual operating parameters and limits to comparability. This avoids treating numbers obtained under different technical circumstances as if they represented the same scenario.

The report explains what the findings show about the operating development and whether further verification or impact reduction should be considered. Measurement-supported conclusions are separated from questions needing additional evidence. Clear reference to the conditions assessed helps the operator use the report appropriately, including when considering later changes to the way the facility is used.

Technical data

Subject Actual environmental impacts of a development after commissioning
Service type Post-completion assessment using measurements and operational information
Assessment basis and requirements Project decision conditions, earlier assessment documentation and measurement methods appropriate to the environmental components covered.
Method
  1. Define the assessment programme from relevant decision conditions.
  2. Link measurements to documented facility operating conditions.
  3. Compare results with earlier assumptions and applicable requirements.
  4. Interpret differences and identify any further actions needed.

Environmental decision (DŚU) application support

Coordinating documentation for the environmental decision procedure

We begin by defining the development, its preparation stage and the studies already available. We establish the technical, site and specialist information required and how to keep it consistent. A clear project boundary is essential so that appendices, assessments and explanations do not describe different parameters for the same proposed installation or development option.

We coordinate documentation suited to the identified procedure, involving the specialists needed for the project. We organise questions for the developer and designers and support preparation of explanations and supplementary material during the proceedings. Dependencies between updated documents are checked so that answering one question does not leave contradictory information elsewhere in the application package.

The service covers document preparation and procedural support within agreed boundaries, not a promise of a particular decision. Analyses may need to expand following issues raised in the proceedings or changes to the project. We explain the implications and agree the necessary additional work rather than treating the initial document list as fixed regardless of subsequent developments.

Technical data

Subject Project documentation for the Polish environmental decision (DŚU) procedure
Service type Documentation preparation, coordination and procedural support
Assessment basis and requirements Project parameters, the applicable procedural route, documentation requirements and correspondence received from authorities.
Method
  1. Define the development and review the available source documents.
  2. Coordinate information from the developer, designers and specialists.
  3. Prepare a consistent package of materials for the procedure.
  4. Develop agreed supplementary documents and technical explanations.

Project information sheet (KIP)

A coherent project description at the KIP stage

The KIP starts with understanding what is proposed and how it will operate. We collect information on location, scale, technology, layout and the anticipated construction and operational stages. Where an existing facility is being changed, we distinguish current activities from the proposed works so that the description preserves the actual boundaries of the development under consideration.

We then identify environmental topics to be addressed in the information sheet. Necessary specialist analyses and mapping are prepared or coordinated and checked against the project description. Particular attention is given to emission sources, operating assumptions and relationships with the surroundings. Missing information is identified before assumptions are presented as final project parameters in the document.

The KIP is a separate document from a full environmental impact assessment report. Preparing it does not predetermine the subsequent procedure or replace every detailed study. Content is matched to the development and available information. Material concept changes are carried through to associated analyses and appendices so that the package continues to describe a consistent project.

Technical data

Subject The proposed development, its location and anticipated environmental impacts
Service type Project information sheet with supporting analyses and appendices
Assessment basis and requirements Project concept and technical data, site information and the information scope applicable to the Polish KIP.
Method
  1. Collect project parameters and information about the surroundings.
  2. Identify topics requiring specialist environmental analysis.
  3. Prepare the description, analyses and associated mapping.
  4. Check consistency of parameters between the KIP and its appendices.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive a KIP with the agreed appendices, necessary specialist analyses and maps. The document presents the development using a consistent set of data and explains the assumptions adopted. It provides material for the environmental procedure and further project work while maintaining the distinction between a project information sheet and a full environmental impact assessment report.

Environmental impact assessment report (ROŚ)

A connected assessment of impacts, alternatives and mitigation

The report is based on defined project boundaries and information about the surrounding environment. We establish the assessment components, source data and need for investigations, analysis or modelling. Shared assumptions about construction stages, installation parameters and operating arrangements are essential: they allow specialist findings to be compared without mixing incompatible scenarios or different design versions.

We coordinate specialist contributions and combine the results into an assessment of the alternatives under consideration. The significance of impacts and proposed mitigation is examined in relation to specific sources and environmental receptors. Methods, evidence and limitations are documented so that the reasoning can be followed from project parameters through the analysis to the report's conclusions.

Findings should also inform subsequent design. We identify protective measures and operating assumptions on which the assessment depends and which need to be retained as the development progresses. Evidence-supported findings are distinguished from matters needing further investigation, helping the project team interpret results in context rather than relying on isolated numerical outputs.

Technical data

Subject Impacts of a development, its alternatives and proposed mitigation
Service type Comprehensive environmental impact assessment report
Assessment basis and requirements The assessment scope applicable to the project, design documents, environmental data and appropriate specialist assessment methods.
Method
  1. Define assessment components, alternatives and shared input data.
  2. Coordinate the investigations, calculations and specialist analyses required.
  3. Compare alternative impacts and the effects of proposed mitigation.
  4. Integrate findings, limitations and design guidance into a coherent report.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

Specialist environmental input for KIP and ROŚ

Specialist input that fits the lead document

Before work begins, we agree the question the analysis must answer with the developer, designer or consultancy. We define the specialist boundaries, alternatives to assess, data requirements and format of the output. Site, project-stage and operating assumptions are checked against the current KIP or ROŚ version being prepared by the team leading the documentation.

Document review, measurements or modelling are selected to suit the environmental component and the purpose of the assessment. Results are accompanied by input data, methods and interpretation limits. The objective is not only to produce a result, but to provide conclusions and supporting material that the lead author can connect logically with other parts of the project assessment.

The service covers the agreed specialist contribution, not automatically the whole KIP or ROŚ. We flag inconsistencies and information requiring agreement with other disciplines. If project parameters change, we identify the implications for the completed assessment so that earlier findings are not applied outside the conditions for which they were developed and documented.

Technical data

Subject A selected environmental component within KIP or ROŚ documentation
Service type Specialist analysis, measurements or modelling contribution
Assessment basis and requirements Lead-document requirements, shared project assumptions and methods appropriate to the environmental component assessed.
Method
  1. Agree contribution boundaries and coordination with the lead author.
  2. Review input data and the alternatives requiring assessment.
  3. Undertake the selected analysis, measurements or modelling.
  4. Provide results, conclusions and assumptions for consistent integration.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

Waste generation permit application support

A waste balance connected to installation processes

We begin by tracing the production and supporting processes covered by the assignment. We establish where waste arises, what information is available and how streams may change at the proposed capacity or following modernisation. Existing operational data is distinguished from projections for a new solution so that historical quantities and application assumptions are not inadvertently combined.

We organise waste types and quantities, describe their origins and set out the agreed storage and handling arrangements. The balance is checked against operating parameters and source records supplied by the operator. Differences between process descriptions, records and forecasts are clarified, with missing information identified to support the adopted values and distinguish the individual waste streams.

The service concerns waste generation within a defined installation. This scope should not be confused with a permit for waste collection or treatment. The application describes the proposed waste management arrangements and their connection with the process, helping the operator relate the documentation to actual activities and understand how planned changes may affect the description prepared.

Technical data

Subject Waste streams generated by a defined installation
Service type Waste generation permit application and waste-stream balance
Assessment basis and requirements Process descriptions, operator records, capacity assumptions and documentation requirements relevant to the waste generation scope.
Method
  1. Connect waste generation points with the installation's processes.
  2. Collect waste type, quantity and handling information.
  3. Prepare the balance and check it against process assumptions.
  4. Develop the application with descriptions and support for adopted parameters.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive a waste generation permit application based on the installation's agreed waste-stream balance.
