Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and Permitting

We carry out environmental and social impact assessments for proper identification of associated impacts and compensatory measures necessary to begin your project’s operation. In addition, we provide advice regarding operational permits necessary that are mandatory for the operation’s legal compliance.

The environmental and social impact assessment and operational permits services we carry out include:

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

The environmental and social impact assessment seeks to identify both positive and negative impacts that an upcoming operation may cause. Once the environmental and social impacts associated with the activity have been identified, mitigation and compensation actions must be planned in order to achieve a positive balance in the execution of the project.

By conducting an environmental and social impact assessment with Futuris Consulting, your project will achieve:

  • Reliable assessments that exceed basic screening methodologies
  • Mitigation and compensation strategies that reduce the footprint of the identified environmental and social impacts
  • Management plans proportional to the risks of operations
  • Multidisciplinary EHS team that adds value to your environmental and social impact assessment

Futuris Consulting executes environmental impact assessments using techniques such as: 

  • Environmental impact significance matrix (D1 and D2 forms)
  • Environmental Management Forecast-Plan
  • Environmental Readjustment Report
  • Impact mitigation and compensation strategies.
  • Clear and concise environmental and social management plans, with monitoring during operational stages

 

      Environmental Regencia

      The environmental regencia is a figure in charge of ensuring the faithful fulfillment of the environmental commitments adopted by the developer of a project. Once a project’s environmental and compensatory measures have been approved, compliance monitoring of such measures must be established.

      By conducting an environmental regencia with Futuris Consulting, your project will achieve:

      • Properly assessed environmental commitments
      • Environmental readjustment of a project
      • Technical closure and return of environmental guarantee
      • Periodic inspection visits to the project
      • Documented information on the progress and status of the project

      Futuris Consulting executes environmental management using techniques such as:

      • Regular and comprehensive field visits
      • Clear and detailed photographs that demonstrate compliance with environmental commitments
      • Complete checklist of the environmental requirements being assessed

       

        Operating Permits

        Compliance with operational permits is important for your organization. By having updated operational permits, you will be able to begin and continue operations, reduce your risks and guarantee an adequate work environment. 

        By processing your operational permits with Futuris Consulting, your project will achieve:

        • Operational permits that are approved in a timely manner and allow you to begin or continue operations
        • Operational permits that add real value to your company and exceed the fulfillment of a requirement
        • Advice on the most efficient ways to obtain operational permits and fulfill other requirements

        Futuris Consulting processes operational permits using the following techniques:

        • Occupational Health Programs for workplaces with 50 or more employees
        • Emergency Action Plans for operations with 20 or more occupants
        • Waste Management Programs that incorporate all actions aimed at guaranteeing an integrated management of the waste generated by an operation, as well as reducing their generation
        • Representation before SIGREP, applicable when an operation generates hazardous waste. It grants compliance with the legal requirement to notify the Environmental Comptroller about the generation and transportation of hazardous waste
        • Other requirements: operational reports on wastewater discharge, water concessions, operating permits for boilers and fuel tanks
