Emissions

Emissions inspection The ERG Emissions Team has for many years provided Local Authorities with a tailored, focused and comprehensive service.

We undertake all aspects of local authority regulation of Part B and A2 processes/installations under both the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA) and the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 (PPC), including the integration of European Directives, such as the SED and the WID into these regimes.
