Hart's Waste Consultancy 

CASE STUDY 
Environmental Permit Variation to increase tonnage and additional waste types , for Nottinghamshire Waste Transfer Station.



Client :
 Waste Management Company 
Location : Nottinghamshire
Requirement : Vary Environmental Permit to increase tonnages accepted at site and add on additional Waste Types to the Permit.  

Where it started :

Our Nottinghamshire Client wanted to expand their business and increase opportunities for more customers. To do this , they wanted to increase the tonnage allowance on their current bepoke Environmental Permit and also add to their permitted waste types (including accepting hazardous waste).

How we helped:

1. We had a site meeting with the operator to find out the exact plans for the business , what changes they wanted to make and assess the site infrastructure to make sure the changes were possible.


2. A plan was put into place to improve site infrastructure which allowed for hazardous waste acceptance as well as increased volumes of non-hazardous waste.


3. The permit variation application was prepared by us , which included management plans , site plans , odour management and Fire Prevention Plans.


4. A review of the application was carried out with the site operator and ourselves to ensure all future plans were considered and included in the application.


5. The permit variation application was submitted by us and overseen throughout the whole process. We remained the key contact. 


6. After various checks and assessments by the Environment Agency , the Environmental Permit Variation was granted!

What happened after...

Ongoing support was provided to implement the new management systems and staff training.
