Official website: gov.uk00
How to use the service
The amount of information you will need in your management system will depend on how complicated and risky your activities are. If your permit is for low-risk activities, for example a small sewage treatment works, your management system can be simple. If you have a number of permits they may be covered by an overall management system. You may carry out certain things in the same way at different permitted sites and you may also have site specific procedures. You need to be able to explain what happens at each site and which parts of the overall management system apply. For example at some sites you may need to show you are carrying out additional measures to prevent pollution because they are nearer to sensitive locations than others.
Processing time
Your staff must have access to and understand any sections of the management system that deal with activities they carry out. It is up to you how you do this, for example whether you print the system out, or provide electronic copies. You must be able to show the Environment Agency your management system if asked. If you have an overarching management system for a number of sites you can provide both: an overview or summary of the whole system copies of the sections that relate to the activity type or aspect of the management system that the Environment Agency has asked about Consider whether you need to provide information to interested parties such as neighbours and your local community to explain how you manage your activities to comply with your permit.
