Permit to operate and audits

Overview

A facility needs an NCEC permit to operate before it starts operating. NCEC sets its validity between 3 and 6 years, and Category 2 and 3 activities renew it with an environmental audit study.

We prepare the application, the audit studies and the periodic monitoring reports, and we track the renewal dates for you.
