When an Impact Assessment or Environmental Permit Is Required

The service is suitable for new and existing projects that use natural resources, generate emissions or waste, or may have a significant environmental impact. The package includes information about the parameters of the planned activity, location and capacity of the facility, the applicable impact assessment, special permits and interaction between the procedures before the investment decision. The permit regime is determined by the actual operations, location, equipment, personnel and characteristics of the product or facility.

The director describes the technology, facility and operations that may affect the environment, and the relevant environmental procedures are identified separately for them. One list shows where technical information, calculations, impact assessment, a permit, registration action or another prescribed filing is required for each project stage.

The working file includes a description of the technology, raw materials, emissions, discharges and waste, location materials, rights to the facility, design solutions and information about existing permits. The documents must describe the same company, addresses, equipment and responsible persons. If some information is already recorded in a register, we reconcile it with the new application and corporate documents.

Before the materials are prepared, the owner determines the actual capacity, equipment configuration, raw materials, operating regime and commissioning sequence. At the same time, an employee is appointed to provide the technical information and subsequently monitor the conditions of the documents obtained. This links the environmental workstream to the modernisation budget and launch date.

The result of the support is an agreed package for the applicable environmental procedure and a timetable of the company's subsequent actions. We retain a copy of the submitted materials, filing details and a list of the company's next actions. If a procedure involves an inspection, request or interaction with several authorities, the relevant stage and the representative's authority are agreed in advance.

After the procedure is completed, management receives the result together with the application, technical attachments and a timetable of the next steps. The employee responsible for environmental matters separately sees the indicators, conditions, measurement or update deadlines relevant to that facility and can plan them before the control date arrives.

In 2026, installations covered by Law No. 3855-IX are subject to the integrated environmental permit regime and the Unified State Register of such permits. For planned activities falling within the scope of the Environmental Impact Assessment Law, the EIA procedure is taken into account before a decision is made to carry out the relevant activity.

Which Facility Data Are Required

For a preliminary assessment, send the facility address, a description of the technology, a list of equipment, raw materials and products, approximate volumes and any existing environmental documents. If the project concerns modernisation, add details of the planned changes; on this basis UBC will prepare a list of required materials and specialist contractors:

• extract from the Unified State Register and corporate information
• description of the actual operations and operating area
• documents for premises, vehicles or equipment
• information about the qualifications and authority of responsible employees
• existing licences, permits, applications and correspondence

The environmental documents required for each production stage are identified separately: site preparation, installation, equipment commissioning, regular operation, waste handling and other operations under the actual project. Management receives a timetable showing which technical materials can be prepared in parallel and which are required before moving to the next stage.

Calculations, measurements and specialised studies are performed by specialist designers, laboratories or other independent contractors. UBC agrees their task, source information and fee with the client before work begins and then combines the technical output with the legal documents required for filing.

The scope of support is determined by the type of impact, number of sites, equipment configuration, readiness of technical passports and the need for additional studies. For an operating facility, the validity of existing documents and the effect of planned changes can be assessed; for a new facility, a complete timetable can be prepared from the source information through to the first environmental result.

The estimate separately shows UBC's work, the services of the designer or laboratory and prescribed external costs. The owner can see which studies are required before filing, what can be reused from existing documentation and at which stage each budget item arises.

Before filing, the specialist reconciles the applicant's details, site address, equipment characteristics, capacity and indicators across all technical and corporate materials. The signatory receives the final file list, while electronic receipts, inventories and other confirmations are immediately added to the file for the specific facility.

Management receives a consolidated list of the environmental documents for the facility, accounting receives materials concerning costs and engaged contractors, and the responsible employee receives the operating conditions and control dates. If there are several sites, a separate file is maintained for each so that changes at one production facility are not mixed with another address.

After filing, the archive retains the exact version of the application, technical materials, filing details and the result obtained. Before replacing equipment, increasing capacity or changing raw materials, the director provides the new characteristics to the relevant specialist so that the environmental information requiring an update can be identified in advance.

What the Owner Receives Before Launch

At the end of the process, management receives the documented result for the specific environmental procedure, an electronic archive of the materials and a timetable of actions for the facility. This links the permit documents to installation, equipment commissioning and subsequent operation without repeatedly collecting technical data that has already been agreed.

The final package is provided to the director and the employee responsible for environmental matters, with the indicators and deadlines for the specific site. When production is expanded, UBC uses previously prepared materials as a basis, while new equipment or technological changes are documented as a separate addition to the working archive.

Linking Permits to the Launch Timetable

Environmental procedures are planned together with facility design, equipment selection and the construction or modernisation timetable. For each operation, the applicable assessments, permits, registrations and source information are identified. The sequence is then established so that the results of one stage can be used in technical documentation and subsequent filings.

Management receives a work plan with responsible persons and control dates, while the project team understands which facility characteristics must be confirmed. UBC coordinates preparation of the materials and specialist contractors, linking the environmental workstream to the overall commissioning plan. This allows operations to begin with agreed documents and a clear process for ongoing control.

Arrange Environmental Support for the Facility

Environmental procedures and permits can be organised as an integrated part of launching or modernising the company. A UBC specialist will explain the current requirements in detail, determine the sequence and coordinate preparation of the materials. We will be pleased to answer any further questions and help you develop responsible production with confidence. We wish you every success in business!
