Doing the Right Things Methodology

This document, from a presentation on January 18, 2011, discusses risk-based inspections of industrial installations. Risk screening is introduced as a way to prioritize inspections based on the probability and consequences of incidents. The presentation emphasizes communication and cooperation among stakeholders, including industry, the public, and regulators. It also explores different approaches to risk assessment, including qualitative and quantitative methods. The document highlights the importance of clearly defining criteria and methodologies for risk assessment. The goal is to ensure effective environmental protection while optimizing resource allocation for inspections.

This document, from a presentation on risk-based inspections, explains how risk screening can help prioritize inspections of industrial installations. This approach focuses on the likelihood and potential impact of incidents, enabling regulators to allocate resources efficiently and effectively protect the environment. The presentation also stresses the importance of communication and collaboration among industry representatives, the public, and regulatory bodies.

This document, a presentation from January 18, 2011, focuses on using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data derived from satellite imagery to enhance environmental inspections. The presentation highlights NDVI's ability to detect changes in vegetation health and coverage, which can indicate potential environmental violations or impacts. It illustrates practical applications of NDVI in identifying illegal waste disposal sites, monitoring mining activities, and assessing the effectiveness of restoration projects. The document emphasizes the benefits of incorporating remote sensing techniques like NDVI into environmental monitoring and enforcement strategies, enabling more efficient and targeted inspections.

This document, a presentation from January 18, 2011, showcases how Fortum, a clean energy company, utilizes remote sensing data and aerial photography to enhance environmental compliance and sustainability. The presentation highlights the company's use of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), derived from satellite imagery, to monitor vegetation changes around its facilities. The presentation discusses practical applications of these technologies for detecting ash basin leaks, monitoring peat production areas, and assessing the environmental impact of power plant emissions. The document emphasizes how integrating these techniques into environmental management systems enables more proactive and efficient monitoring, leading to improved environmental performance and reduced risks.

Методиката "Правене на правилните неща" за издаване на разрешителни в областта на околната среда е текущ проект (2016-2018 г.), който разглежда отблизо връзката между издаването на разрешителни и инспекциите, идентифицира интересни казуси и най-добри практики в Европа и определя и описва стъпките, които биха могли да се използват в процедурите за издаване на разрешителни.

Предложението на този 3-годишен проект е да: 1) да се съберат и сравнят процедурите, които се използват в Европа в момента, и да се изяснят потребностите, 2) въз основа на тази информация екипът по проекта ще разработи ръководство, което е достатъчно гъвкаво, за да се приспособи към органите в Европа при издаването на разрешителни за ИУЕЕО, 3) да се организират сесии за обучение по издаване на разрешителни за ИУЕЕО и да се определят пропуските в инструментите и методологиите за издаване на разрешителни, за да могат да се инициират нови проекти по ИУЕЕО.

Крайният резултат от работата е поетапно ръководство за издаване на разрешения, добре обучени служители за издаване на разрешения и идентифициране на нови инициативи на IMPEL за проекти по издаване на разрешения.

This guidance was produced under the 2012 IMPEL project: Environmental inspections of industrial installations in accordance with the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) The main objective of this project was to organise an exchange of information concerning best practices for the implementation of article 23 of the IED taking into account the guidance on inspection planning and risk appraisal already developed by IMPEL and the requirements described in Article 23 of the IED.

Pursuant to the Recommendation providing for minimum criteria for environmental inspections (RMCEI) all inspection activities should be planned in advance.
