Annual Environmental Reports - General Information

Introduction

As part of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) policy of openess and transparency and in accordance with Access to Information on the Environment Regulations, the EPA has published certain licence enforcement documents through this website.

These documents relate to both Industrial and Local Authority facilities that are licensed under the following licence types:

  •       Integrated Pollution Prevention Control (IPPC)
  •       Waste Water Discharge
  •       Waste Licence

The website allows users to search for and view the Annual Environmental Report (AER) of licensed facilities.  

What is an Annual Environmental Report (AER)?

An Annual Environmental Report provides summary information on all aspects of the environmental performance of a licensed facility.  Each AER contains information on emissions to air and water, for example, as well as on waste management, resource consumption, objectives and targets and complaints.  The AER brings together a number of individual reports required by the EPA as part of the facility's licence and allows for the effective evaluation of the environmental issues on the site.

Search Method

The website can be searched using any of the following criteria:

  •       Facility name
  •       Licence register number
  •       Facility class, type or location
