Automotive Components Manufacturing, Thailand
SLP Environmental was appointed to perform a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment supplemented with a Limited Environmental Compliance Review (LECR) on an automotive components manufacturing facility industry located in Prachinburi, Thailand. The client was considering the acquisition of the Property and the facility thereon, and commissioned the assessment to determine i) if there were any potential soil and groundwater contamination liabilities associated with the Target Property (ASTM 1527-21), and ii) the compliance status of the facility located on the Target Property with respect to key Thailand environmental regulatory requirements (Limited Environmental Compliance Review).
The Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) comprised of a review of readily available documentation, a site reconnaissance and interviews with the Property Owner’s Representatives. The Limited Environmental Compliance Review comprised of a review of key EHS related permits/documents, an onsite audit and interviews with key personnel with responsibility for environmental performance.
Particular attention was paid to practices pertaining to general environmental permitting, chemicals management, waste management, water supply, wastewater management, air emission, noise, odour management, environmental spills/incidents, asbestos, PCBs, and ODSs.
Our auditors conducted a detailed review of the physical site setting including studies on geology, hydrology, hydrogeology, and landuse history. The assessment was undertaken on a rapid turnaround basis and culminated in the production of a commercially focused report that clearly identified the material and other relevant environmental issues and their respective likely mitigation costs.
The report also included a checklist detailing the key environmental regulatory requirements applicable to the operation and activities at the target facility and the current compliance status of the facilities with respect to each requirement. Where non-compliances (NC) were identified, a corrective action was recommended along with a timeline for implementation based on the risk associated with each NC.
