You submit the environmental classification form through the permits and licences platform of the National Center for Environmental Compliance, and the Center decides your category within ten working days according to the expected impact.
How long is an environmental permit valid?
The construction permit is valid for three years, and the Center sets the operating permit's term between three and six years.
How long does an impact assessment review take?
The Center reviews a Category 2 study within 30 working days, and a full Category 3 study within 60 working days after the scoping report.
Does my facility need a MWAN licence?

When does my facility need an environmental audit?
