CASE STUDY

Client : Family run Grab Hire Company

Location : Nottinghamshire

Requirement : Prepare and submit Environmental Permit Application and ongoing WAMITAB Cover and Compliance Support.

Where it started :

Our client operated a family run Grab Hire and Muck Away business for numerous years in Nottinghamshire. After several increases in waste disposal costs , they quickly realised that becoming self sufficient and managing their own waste was critical.

How we helped:

1. We had a chat with the business owner to find out what the wanted to do , where they planned to do it and whether they understood what operating a waste site involves. A follow up site visit was made so we could understand the layout and location of the site.

2. The correct type of permit was chosen for our clients activities.

Activities include the importation of inert waste and production of aggregate products.

The Standard Rules permit type was agreed with our client.

3. The site was screened to ensure it met Standard Rules Criteria. This was conducted by us as a desktop background check. The site passed all required criteria.

4. After our client gave us the go ahead , we set about preparing all necessary documents for the Environmental Permit Application. These documents include application forms , site plans , competence proof , management systems and emission plans. A final check through was made with the client to ensure they were happy with how the overall management of the site would be carried out.

5. Environmental Permit application submitted by us and fees for the permit application paid for by our client.

The application process was overseen by us the whole way through with minimal disruption to our client.

6. Environmental Permit Granted!

What happened after...

Our client was provided with a full management system and supporting documents , we ensures they were fully compliant before starting to accept waste at their newly permitted site.

WAMITAB Cover was provided to ensure ongoing compliance with the Environmental Permit but more importantly , to ensure our client had on hand advice and guidance.
