Odour Control and Odour Management Plans

Are you having difficulties with your neighbours or environmental regulators because of poor farming practises, malfunctioning sewage treatment plants and sewage pumping stations. Well odour nuisance is an offence for which the regulator can take enforcement action leading to prosecution through the courts.

Quite often, off odours can be controlled and managed by a change in operations and improved housekeeping but sometimes specialized odour control treatment plant is required to manage the off odours from the process being undertaken.

I can help you devise strategies to minimize the chance that enforcement action will be taken against you. So, if you want to avoid problems with Regulators or if you are currently at risk of enforcement action by the Environment Agency in England, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, SEPA in Scotland, Natural Resources Wales in Wales and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, NIEA in Northern Ireland. 

If you are a landlord, that is so say, you rent out property of a commercial or domestic nature you need to be aware of your duty to the people who use and visit these premises. Every month the Health and Safety Executive, (HSE) produce data of reported cases of Legionella in the UK; sadly some of these turn out to be fatal.

In the case of Industrial premises where Cooling Towers are employed, care homes, clinics and hospitals where vulnerable people may be visiting or resident have more stringent requirements of management under the guiding regulations issued by the Local Authority and the HSE.

If you are the Duty Holder or the Responsible person and you would like to get some advice and personal one to one coaching by one of our qualified team members then please contact us for a chat and a no obligation quotation. 

In the UK Environmental Regulation is annexed to Government departments, for example in England the Environment Agency, EA are charged with enforcing the over arching Legislation by which ‘the polluter pays’ principle. The EA are part of the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

As this is the case, any contravention of Environmental legislation can be extremely damaging to the Person, Company or Corporation who might be found guilty of breaking the law and may render them to prosecution and heavy fines imposed by the Courts. But there is a ‘double whammy’, because as well as being fined in the Courts the guilty party will also suffer from reputational damage to their ‘brand’ which may have a more significant long term impact on them. In conclusion, it is much better to try and ensure that you do not get into a position where enforcement action against the Person, Company or Corporation is being considered by the Regulator.

I can help you to devise strategies to minimize the chance that enforcement action will be taken against you. So, if you are interested in avoiding falling foul of Regulators or if you are currently at risk of enforcement action by the E.A. in England, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, SEPA in Scotland, Natural Resources in Wales and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, NIEA please call me on 07774240150 or email me at dpd1953@icloud.com or info@ebmconsultation.com 

These include:

Environmental Health and Planning Enforcement Officers of District Councils throughout the UK who are charged with enforcing many aspects of Public Health Act(s) including Odour and Noise Nuisance. They can and do issue enforcement orders once a statutory nuisance has been established and if effective action is not taken to abate the nuisance they can and often will take legal action through the Courts to bring a prosecution. They have powers to shutdown the activity causing nuisance and to enforce removal of structures which do not have planning permission. until it has been satisfactorily removed. 

Under Public Health Legislation and the Water Act, trade efluent teams working for the Water companies can and do take enforcement action often resulting in successful prosecutions through the Courts for pollution incidents and non compliance with Trade Effluent permit conditions which specify the limits of chemical parameters which typically include measurements of Chemical Oxygen Demand, Suspended Solids, Flow in cubic metres per day and Flow rates measured in litres per second.

All permits include measurements for Temperature and PH which are included to protectect the sewerage system of pipes and pumping station that convey the industrial effluent to the Wastewater Treatment works.

Some permits contain additional limits for heavy metals such as Zinc, Lead, Aluminium, Copper, Gold Silver, Cadmium, Mercury, Arsenic and many others too. These dissolved metals are measured down to very, very low levels by sophisticated laboratory testing equipement. Cyanide is very often included in permits too as it is used in the metal plating industry. Colurs, fats, oil and grease are also specified in the permits for certain processes such as Dairies and Food and Pet Food processing sectors.
