The Fieldwork Weather Window Is Closing!
Book Last-Minute Environmental Assessments Now To Avoid Regulatory and Construction Delay in 2023.
Operators planning to construct freshwater or produced water reservoirs in 2023, should complete site-specific environmental field work before the end of September. Completing fieldwork in 2022 allows for regulatory applications to be processed over winter and provides you with the flexibility to construct next year during the ideal construction window, avoiding costly winter construction.
Don’t forget that in March this year changes to Directive 055 and 058 shorten the application time for produced water ponds – don’t hesitate to get in touch for more information!
Integrated Sustainability can help you screen and select a reservoir site as well as complete the necessary field work and permitting in 2022 to set your project up for success in 2023.
