With the deadline for submitting environmental permits approaching, completing and submitting documents on time is extremely urgent. So, which businesses need to implement environmental permits this year and why is this so important?
Let's find out with Nanoen through the article below!
Which businesses need to implement environmental permits in 2024?
According to the Law on Environmental Protection No. 72/2020/QH14, businesses that are required to have environmental permits but have not completed their documents or have expired environmental permits must carry out re-issuance procedures. Specifically:
The enterprise does not have the necessary environmental records, such as:
-
Certificate of completion of environmental protection works;
-
Environmental protection plan;
-
Environmental impact assessment (EIA);
-
Environmental standard certificate;
-
Permit to discharge wastewater into water sources;
-
Permit to treat hazardous waste;
-
…
Note: Depending on the type and scale of operation of the Enterprise, there may be one or more of the environmental records listed above.
Enterprises with component environmental licenses that expire this year:
Enterprises with component environmental licenses that expire in 2024 need to promptly renew or renew their licenses to avoid affecting their operations.
In case the enterprise has not yet implemented the Environmental License:
With just over 2 months left until the end of 2024, this is the final time for enterprises to complete the procedures for applying for a Environmental License.
According to Article 14 of Decree No. 45/2022/ND-CP, in the case of investment projects that have been implemented but have not yet been put into operation or facilities that are operating without an environmental license or environmental registration as prescribed, the following penalties will be imposed:
-
Financial fines: From 30 million to 220 million VND if the enterprise does not have an Environmental License.
-
Risk of suspension of operations: Enterprises may have their emission source operations suspended from 03 to 12 months.
In addition to fines, enterprises also face other serious handling measures such as:
-
Forced demolition of constructions or equipment installed in violation of regulations when discharging untreated waste.
-
Relocation of facilities or projects if the current location is not in accordance with environmental planning or zoning.
Note: Fines will depend on the scale and severity of the enterprise's violation
Therefore, enterprises need to quickly implement and complete the documents and procedures for granting an Environmental License to avoid unnecessary risks. Delaying implementation may lead to failure to obtain an Environmental License in time this year, which will disrupt the enterprise's production and business activities.
The implementation of environmental licensing is a time-consuming process from implementation to completion and includes many different procedures. Therefore, to ensure the environmental licensing process goes smoothly and promptly, businesses should start implementing environmental licensing right from the present time.
Understanding the process and time of implementing GPMT is a prerequisite to ensure that the project or production and business facility of the enterprise operates stably and continuously. Urgently implementing GPMT now will help the enterprise complete this procedure on time in 2024, while creating a prestigious and responsible corporate image towards the community.
