Illustrative example
A new condition affecting facility operations
An operator faces new environmental conditions requiring work on its facility. Assistance may begin with the permit, technical assessments and the procedure followed by the authority, then examine the substance, timing and responsibilities of compliance. Working with technical advisers makes it possible to prepare documented observations and identify any grounds for legal protection.
