3 x 1 hour Sessions
How to best Manage your Environment Licence: Negotiation and Compliance

This webinar will cover management, legal and practical issues in dealing with Environment Protection Licences (EPL) and its variation.  Learn what an EPL is for and what industrial activities and sub activities it applies to.  ASBG's webinar will over 3 session cover what sites require an EPL, typical conditions and what is required to meet them, but also how to write the documents so your site has more control over how it complies with the EPL and other environmental law.  

Also covered is the link between EPL and planning consent conditions, where a site expands production or changes its activity significantly.  EPLs are often varied by the EPA if a site has had an issue or raises their concerns.  Such attention often leads to increased inspections and variations to licence conditions, but these can be managed and new conditions like Pollution Reduction Programs if properly negotiated.  Dealing with The webinar will also focus on how to negotiate your variations to your EPL conditions.  Key issues addressed include:
