Phase 1 ESA & Environmental Compliance Review for an Electroplating Facility in Prachinburi, Thailand
SLP Environmental conducted a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and a Limited Environmental Compliance Review (LECR) at an automotive components manufacturing facility with electroplating operations in Prachinburi, Thailand. Supporting a proposed acquisition, the assessment evaluated potential soil and groundwater contamination liabilities and compliance with key Thai environmental requirements. Site inspections, document reviews and interviews informed a report identifying material environmental issues, likely mitigation costs and recommended corrective actions with implementation timelines.
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.
