> Adversely affect land drainage
An environmental Permit is required if you operate any of the following:
> An ‘Installation’ – an industrial facility, manufacturer or other business that produces potentially harmful substances, for example a landfill site, a large chicken farm, a food factory, a furniture factory, a dry cleaners, a petrol station.
> A Waste Operation – a site where waste is recycled, stored, treated or disposed of.
> A Mining Waste Operation – a site which manages waste produced from mines or quarries
> A Medium Combustion Plant or Specified Generator.
> A Small Waste Incineration Plant – where certain types and quantities of waste are burned.
> A Mobile Plant – plant that’s designed to move or be moved, for example a machine that’s moved onto a site to clean contaminated soil.
