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.

Doing the right things for environmental permitting ist ein laufendes Projekt (2016-2018), das die Beziehung zwischen Genehmigung und Inspektion unter die Lupe nimmt, interessante Fallstudien und bewährte Praktiken in Europa ermittelt und die Schritte identifiziert und beschreibt, die in Genehmigungsverfahren verwendet werden könnten.

Der Vorschlag für dieses dreijährige Projekt ist es: 1) die derzeit in Europa angewandten Verfahren zu sammeln und zu vergleichen und den Bedarf zu klären, 2) auf der Grundlage dieser Informationen einen Leitfaden zu entwickeln, der flexibel genug ist, um den Behörden in Europa bei der Erteilung von Genehmigungen für IED entgegenzukommen, 3) Schulungen über IED-Genehmigungen zu organisieren und die Lücken in den Instrumenten und Methoden für die Erteilung von Genehmigungen zu ermitteln, damit neue IMPEL-Projekte initiiert werden können.

Das Endergebnis der Arbeit ist ein schrittweiser Leitfaden für die Erteilung von Genehmigungen, gut ausgebildete Genehmigungsbeamte und die Identifizierung neuer IMPEL-Initiativen für Projekte zur Erteilung von Genehmigungen.

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.
