Byrne Ó Cléirigh has been guiding companies through the integrated pollution control (IPC), industrial emissions (IE) and precursor licensing processes since the mid-1990s. We have in-depth understanding of both the licensing processes and the expectations of regulators, as they apply in different sectors and at facilities in sensitive environmental locations.
As well as preparing licence applications and supporting documents, we assist operators in selecting appropriate emission limits and in developing environmental monitoring programmes and environmental management systems. Once licences have been granted, we support ongoing compliance through a range of services:
- Annual environmental reports
- Notifications & licence amendments
- Monitoring programmes
- Assessment of best available techniques (BAT)
- Solvent management plans
- Firewater retention studies
- Air dispersion modelling studies
- Fugitive emissions studies
- Odour management
- Noise management
- Effluent studies
- Energy audits
- Classification of waste and by-products (co-products)
- Bund assessments
- Baseline studies
- Test programmes
- Environmental liability risk assessments (ELRA)
- Closure plans
- Licence surrender
- Liaison with regulators
