Environmental compliance is a core function of NES to deliver under its regulatory arm. As part of its communication launch, NES has revamped all processes relating to its permits and applications.
There are a total of seven permits issued by NES:
- Environment Approval
- Environment Consent
- Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Permit
- Transboundary permit on hazardous waste
- Licence to import biodegradable plastic bags
- Montreal protocol permit to import hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) goods
The first three permits are the main permits issued by the Environmental Compliance Department and the Island Environment Authorities. Applicants for all three permits must firstly complete an Environment Significance Declaration (ESD) form to identify the scope of works and the correct application required.
