Environment protection for petrol stations

Our service for petrol stations is related in particular to issues of environmental protection.
The operation of a petrol station requires the fulfilment of legal regulations connected with the environmental protection.The operation of a petrol station brings with it:

The emission of gases and dust into the air,
The seepage of sewage into the groundwater and sewage system,
The production of waste,
Noise pollution.

The owner and operator of a petrol station is particularly obligated to:

Guarantee the station’s safe operation for the local population and environment,
Possess all required permissions and licences,
Monitor the operability of all devices for environmental protection,
Guarantee the environmental compliance,
Conduct the required documentations in the field of environmental protection,
Guarantee the compliance of operational procedures with the regulations and recommendations by the environmental protection authority.

Following from this, environmental protection is a necessary condition for the operation of a petrol station.To guarantee the environmentally compatible operation of a petrol station, it is necessary to fulfil specific legal conditions. For this an environmental audit and an ecological survey is needed.

For this purpose we conduct the following analyses - formal analyses with regard to:

existent permissions,
post-inspection recommendations,
legal state of the property, devices and technical infrastructure necessary for the petrol station’s operation,
results of already existent analyses
contracts with waste disposal companies types of installation and realised parameters,
overview on the conducted environmental analyses,
analyses of the usage of technology and operational procedures,
analysis of periodic measurements,
emission values,
ways of control and prevention,
analysis of the key procedures,
evaluation of the impact on the environment, e.g. air, water, soil,
local population, fauna and flora, but also cultural heritage.

We undertake all necessary measurements and analyses of e.g. water, soil, air, noise and energy. The result of our audit is a report that defines:

Type and area of potential violation of regulations,
Possible fields of action.

We prepare concepts that aim at a profitable change of the company and the environment:

Reduction of nuisance caused by emissions,
Waste management including reduced production, recycling, waste separation, safe storage, transport and utilisation,
Installation of monitoring systems for water, air and soil conditions,
Elimination of the results of water and soil contamination,
Regeneration of degraded areas,
Compliance with noise protection regulations,
Economic use of electric and thermal energy,
Improvement of the work conditions, e.g. by decreasing the noise pollution.

We prepare the documents required by Polish law, including:

The program for the management of hazardous waste,
Reports on the environmental impact to receive environmental decisions.

We support our clients in obtaining the necessary permissions and licences resulting from laws and regulations.The most important regulations are:

The environmental protection Law,
The Law on the use of water sources,
The Law on waste management,
The Law on packaging and packaging waste,
The Law on public water supply and sewage,
The Law for building,
The Law on the protection of nature.

We prepare the necessary applications including the required attachments and documents and we support our clients in acquiring the necessary permissions such as:

Decisions on the conditions and site selection of construction projects,
Environmental permissions,
Permissions for the release of gases and dust into the air,
Permissions for the seepage of rain water and waste water into the soil and to the sewage system,
Permissions for the use of natural water sources,
Permissions for the production of hazardous waste and other than hazardous waste,
Permissions for programs for the handling of hazardous waste,
Decisions on the permitted level of noise and vibrations emitted to the environment,
Building permissions,
Permissions for the use of forest and agricultural land for other purposes, e.g. deforestation,
Permissions for the clearance of trees and bushes,
Permission for building usage after completed construction,
Geological licences.

We support our clients in calculating environmental charges and in preparing the list of the amount and type of gases or dust emitted to the air. We can help in the following stages of the investment process:

The preparation of feasibility studies,
Analysis of the documentation of public procurement processes,
Supervision of the development of the project documentation,
Supervision of building and assembly work,
Start and bringing forward the exploitation.

We assist with the implementation of an optimal financial plan through:

EU subsidies,
Credits with low interest.

The emission of gases and dust into the air,
The seepage of sewage into the groundwater and sewage system,
The production of waste,
Noise pollution.
