Abstract The procedure of assessing the project’s influence on the environment during which, inter alia, the compliance of the implemented project (eg concerning technical infrastructure, linear investments, or processes that affect the forms of nature) with the requirements of the environmental protection is verified, constitutes an environmental management instrument. Especially the environmental authorities leading or consulting this procedure may apply different limits and concepts of the action. At the same time they are limited by legal determinants. The aim of this article is to identify the most significant organizational problems that have arisen during the application of this procedure at the level of regional directors of environmental protection throughout the country. As a part of the study to fulfill the aim of the research, an analysis of all cases conducted by them was carried out. This led to a dispute and a consequence in the form of an appeal against the issued decision on the environmental conditions and the outcome of the appeal by the Director General of Environmental Protection. This article has verified the substantive scope of the issues, the ways to resolve conflicts and their impact on the regional and national development. Based upon these results, the proposals for changes of the environmental management system have been formulated.

Started in 2007, the PN2 MEMDUR project’s main objective is to design, develop, test and implement in Dambovita County an advanced management system which has to assure the evaluation of the environmental risk in order to administrate the crises situations, in accordance with the demands required by the sustainable development on local, regional and national level. This paper tries to emphasize one of the most important parts of the project which manages the recorded data collected from the measuring workstations. Those workstations measure several parameters in fixed or mobile points.

Development And Environment

Today, environmental pollution is a global problem. Industrialization, rapid urbanization, technological advances, economic developments and increasing world population have brought environmental pollution with them. Environmental pollution has reached a level that threatens human health and safety. Environmental management systems are useful and important in many ways such as reducing the negative effects of businesses on the environment, creating a safe working environment, preventing pollution, reducing costs, reducing risks, improving environmental performance, and improving corporate image. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance of ISO 14000 environmental management system standards for sustainable development and environment in business. In this direction, the study explains sustainable development, sustainable environment, the characteristics, importance, development, stages, standards and benefits of the ISO 14000 environmental management system for businesses.

The introduction of environmental management systems (EMS) at enterprises makes it possible to put into practice the principles of sustainable development. The efficiency of the environmental management system largely depends on the information support of the system. The use of information technology, electronic document management allows you to increase the effectiveness of the EMS at the enterprise.

The Impact

The environmental management system according to PN-EN ISO 14001: 2015 [1] is a system whose message is to protect the natural environment. The environmental management system focuses mainly on reducing waste, possibilities and methods of waste disposal, pre-venting pollution, reducing the use of natural resources, and in the context of the transport industry, reducing emissions. The idea of the system is continuous improvement of activities related to the protection of the natural environment - through identification of threats, risk assessment and mobilization of enterprises to comply with the requirements of law in the field of environmental protection. For many years, the transport industry has been governed by its laws. However, with the changing market, where apart from large transport concerns, there are also small and micro companies providing transport services that also have an impact on the environment in individual parts of the transport industry. There are more and more entrepreneurs, both Polish and foreign, specializing in the transport industry, hence legal regulations, EU regulations and industry standards or standards aimed at reducing the impact of transport on the natural environment appear. It seems that as of today, mobilizing enterprises of various sizes to implement unified rules, reduce emissions, oversee waste, implement unified management systems, including environmental management systems, is the most effective method of impacting the improvement of environmental protection in this area.

Ecological Convergence

Currently, studies of the problems of convergence of leading countries in terms of the lean use of natural resources, the reduction of harmful emissions and the transition to using new types of energy carriers are highly relevant, with regard to sustainable development mainstream. At the same time, the majority of authors consider convergent processes from an economic or socio-political point of view. In this regard, the article examines the issues of ecological convergence, as a special structural shift in the economy, leading to radical positive changes in the environmental management system and a decrease in anthropogenic impact on the environment.

The National Energy Board (NEB) believes that effective management systems are an integral part of managing safety and protection of the environment. Management systems allow for flexibility while ensuring that a comprehensive approach to managing risk is taken. This paper focuses on taking the systems approach to safety and environmental management in a quasi-judicial regulatory environment, particularly the NEB. The NEB is developing and implementing a Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) using the same “principle-based approach” as the internationally recognized ISO 14001 standard and OHSAS 18001 specification. It is the understanding of the NEB that it is the first regulatory agency in Canada to formally implement a safety and environmental management system to improve internal programs and processes. Under the goal-oriented Onshore Pipeline Regulations - 1999, the NEB requires pipeline companies to “develop and implement an environmental protection program to anticipate, prevent, mitigate and manage conditions that have a potential to adversely affect the environment”. While no regulations require the NEB to implement a management system, the NEB is proactively taking its own advice and meeting the same requirements of the companies it regulates. The development and implementation of the SEMS will help to consolidate and integrate internal NEB safety and environmental efforts as well as assist in clarifying their regulatory role, expectations, and responsibilities in regards to safety and environmental protection. The NEB has completed the first step of the development and implementation of the SEMS, including the development and communication of the NEB Environmental Policy and a draft of an integrated Safety & Environmental Policy; identification of objectives, targets and performance indicators; and improvements to existing programs and processes. The NEB Environmental Policy will be phased out once the integrated policy is approved and communicated. The second step includes conducting a detailed gap analysis to identify and prioritize areas for improvement as well as integrating the SEMS into the existing NEB business planning cycle. By fully incorporating the defined SEMS into the annual NEB business planning cycle, the management system approach will be used as the basis for setting internal safety and environmental priorities, work planning and continual improvement.
