Site Condition Report for an Energy from Waste Facility

Perth, Scotland, November 2023 to present

Site Condition Report for an Energy from Waste Facility

Ground and Projects were approached to undertake a Site Condition Report (SCR) to support the planning application of a proposed Energy from Waste (EfW) in Perth, Scotland.

The SCR was written in accordance with relevant Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) guidance, such as the Pollution Prevention Control (PPC) Technical Guidance Note on the Content and Scope of Site Reports.

The report involved the collation and interpretation of multiple existing site investigation reports from Phase 1 desk study through to Phase 2 site investigations, establishing an existing baseline on ground conditions and how this may be impacted by the proposed development. Of key consideration, was the proposed storage and use of potentially hazardous substances relating to the operation of the EfW on site.
