Environmental Compliance Plan
Environmental Compliance Plan
An Environmental Compliance Plan is a legal document that outlines the steps a person or entity will take to ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations. The plan typically includes a description of the regulated activities, the applicable legal requirements, and the specific measures that will be taken to achieve and maintain compliance. The purpose of the plan is to provide a roadmap for compliance and to demonstrate a good faith effort to meet environmental obligations. The plan may be required as part of a permit application, a settlement agreement, or a court order. It may also be developed voluntarily as a proactive measure to avoid violations and liability. The plan should be tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of the regulated entity and should be regularly reviewed and updated as necessary. Environmental Compliance Plans are an important tool for ensuring that regulated entities are aware of their obligations and are taking appropriate steps to meet them. They can also help to build trust and credibility with regulators and the public.
