Water management and Environmental Planning

Water rights management and its implementing regulations define the implementation, rebuilding, extinguishment, continuing operations, water usage and procedures being subject to permit of the water rights facilities. Constructions, operations of water facilities and water management activities can be carried out only with the permission issued by the competent authority.

The use of the environment depends on the features of activity to be carried out. It can be started or it can be continued after the permit (environmental permit, environmental operating permit, unified environmental permit) is issued by the Environmental Protection Agency or by a special authority, or after the user of the environment notifies the environmental authority

Water rights license plans

Elements of the water rights permits, based on each other:

Theoretical water right permit

Theoretical water right permit it is to be prepared before planning, if the assessment of investment is in question, or if it is required to have prior permission at the beginning of planning.

It is important to know that the theoretical water rights permit does not authorize to perform water work, installation of water facilities and to exercise of water use.

Water right existence permit

The builder of establishment is responsible for possessing the water right existence permit, as this document is necessary to perform the water work, to install, modify and to terminate the water facilities.

For its issuing a request and plan documentation needs to be submitted to the Directorate of Water Management.

Water right operation permit

The water right operation permit is necessary to take over different facilities, and to practice of water usage. For its issuing a request plan documentation needs to be submitted to the Directorate of Water Management.

After issuing it is necessary to modify the permit when the technology, the use of water or licensee changes.

Water right maintain permit

Water right maintain permit is necessary if the facility is built without final existence of water rights or it was built differently from the plan, or in case there was a change.

The content is equal to the water right operation permit.

Environmental Impact Assessment and Review

The environmental protection impact assessment study contains the results of the impact assessment, which must be submitted to the authority. Its compilation is necessary to get the environmental protection permit.

The examination essentially compares the conditions without investment to its conditions after realization. The expected environmental impacts have to be calculated and estimated on the basis of the available technical plans

Prior Examination

In respect of the activities specified in the Government regulation Nr. 314/2005 (XII.25.) the environment user has the obligation to initiate the investigation. Based on the preliminary assessment documentation the competent authority decides whether an impact assessment is going to be necessary in case of an investment.

The content requirements are included in the Annex of the above mentioned regulation.

Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control(IPPC permit)

The IPPC permit must be obtained prior to the start of the activities listed in the Annex of 314/2005 (XII.25.) Government regulation, before acquiring this permit an environmental review has to be carried out in advance.

An annual report must be submitted to the authority about the continuation of those activities which are subject to the integrated pollution prevention and control

Environmental Protection Program

The environmental responsibility of local governments is to compile the local environmental protection program. This responsibility of local governments about general environment protection is included in the regulation of 1995/LIII.

The primary purpose of the preparation of an environmental protection program is to improve the environmental quality of short, medium and long term, and to identify and create the necessary assets for the planned target conditions.

Urban Wastewater Management Program

It is required to prepare the Urban Wastewater Management Program based on the 147/2010. (IV. 29.) Government regulation. The purpose of this program is to compile a decision-preparing document, which suggests a possible solution, takes into consideration the conditions, explores the needs and full possibilities (technical and economic), and also, presents the advantages and disadvantages of possible solutions.

We undertake to compile the whole program, from the assessment of the regional characteristics to the compilation of the full program.

Plans of damage control and water damage

We undertake to compile the whole program, from the assessment of the regional characteristics to the compilation of the full program.

Spread Modelling

In case of air pollution we compare the impact area of the emission and its effects – being aware of the actually measured and calculated emission parameters with a specific software – to the spreading (so-called transport model) and such as we define and compare the values to the limit values defined in the VM (Ministry of Water Management) regulation 4/2011 (I.14) about air pollution as well as point sources of stationary emission.

Types of air pollution sources:

Point source (chimney, chimney-stack);

Surface source (for example: open windows of buildings,waste-heaps.);

Line source (for example: roads, external conveyor belts);

The transport model is required in the following air pollution cases:

In case of Impact Assessment - to assess the expected impacts of new facilities;
To obtain or to renew the IPPC permit;
In case of expanding capacities - to assess the expected impacts;

To permit the operation of or to install the point sources;
Designation of protected areas; demarcation of the impact area;

Definition of the ground state in order to protect air quality with the available measured data.

Feasibility study

The feasibility study is an environmental comparative analysis for an investment or technology.

The feasibility study, the implementation plan includes the detailed project plan; it serves as a professional background, and justification.
