Environmental Licensing
Preparation of environmental studies, submission and technical-administrative follow-up
We go to the environmental agency.
In environmental licensing, regularization, technical opinions and requirement-response processes, document quality does not depend only on preparation of the study. It is also essential to understand the competent environmental agency’s position, the criteria adopted by analysts and the technical expectations applicable to the specific case.
Therefore, when necessary, we act as the client’s technical representative before the environmental secretariat, agency, council, licensing sector or other competent body, seeking to align in advance the most appropriate technical strategy for the process.
This alignment makes it possible to clarify doubts, anticipate requirements, adjust the methodological approach and build studies, reports or opinions that are better aligned with the reviewer’s technical understanding.
We prepare the required environmental studies
After classification of the development and technical alignment with the competent agency, we prepare the required environmental studies to instruct the licensing, regularization, license renewal or requirement-response process.
Documents that may be necessary include environmental reports, feasibility studies, technical memoranda, environmental diagnoses, control plans, PRAD, PGRCC, hydrological studies, water availability and self-purification capacity studies, thematic maps, technical opinions and responses to notices or pending issues.
Our objective is to build technically coherent, traceable and defensible documentation, reducing the risk of rework, complementary requirements and delays in the environmental process.
Why is this important?
In practice, the licensing process seeks to make the development of economic activities compatible with environmental protection, indicating conditions, control measures, technical studies, environmental programs and obligations that must be observed by the developer.
To achieve this objective, our technical consulting and advisory in environmental licensing involves:
Technical and legal security
Our objective is to reduce the risk of pending issues, rework and delays in process review by delivering technically consistent, well-founded documents compatible with applicable environmental regulations.
This work helps bring technical and legal security to all parties: to the developer, who gains greater process predictability; to the environmental agency, which receives clearer and more objective documentation; and to technical managers, who work with better-defined assumptions.
In practice, we seek to build a more objective process, with lower risk of later requirements and greater probability of approval without technical pending issues.
