Our Professional Services Portfolio
We offer a comprehensive range of environmental consultancy services designed to help businesses operate sustainably while complying with rigorous regulatory requirements across Nigeria.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) & Environmental Evaluation Report (EER)
An Environmental Impact Assessment is a systematic process to identify, predict, and evaluate potential environmental effects of proposed projects before decisions are made. Our EIA services ensure compliance with national regulations and international standards (ISO 14001, IFC Performance Standards).
Our Structured EIA Process
Determine if EIA is required (Mandatory/Exempt) & define assessment boundaries.
Air/water/soil quality analysis, ecological surveys, and socio-economic studies.
Matrix-based impact quantification, GIS spatial analysis, and cumulative assessments.
Environmental Management Plan (EMP), public consultations, and regulatory submission.
Comparison Matrix: EIA vs. EER
| Feature | Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) | Environmental Evaluation Report (EER) |
|---|---|---|
| Timing | Pre-project phase | Post-implementation / Operational |
| Purpose | Predict potential environmental impacts | Evaluate actual impacts vs. original EIA |
| Duration | 3–12 months (project dependent) | 2–6 months |
| Key Output | Environmental Management Plan (EMP) | Compliance Certification / Renewal |
Environmental Permitting & Regulatory Compliance
Navigating NESREA, NMDPRA (DPR), and State EPA (LASEPA, OGEPA) requirements with confidence. We simplify complex permitting pathways, securing mandatory approvals under FMEnv and state jurisdictions.
Core Permits Secured by ESL
| Permit Type | Issuing Authority | Validity | Key Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| EIA Certificate | FMEnv | Project Lifespan | Approved EIA Report |
| Effluent Discharge License | NESREA | 1 Year | Wastewater analysis & treatment proof |
| Air Quality Permit | State EPA | 2 Years | Stack emission tests |
| Hazardous Waste Permit | NESREA | 1 Year | Waste management plan & manifests |
