The Parliament of Catalonia has approved legislative amendments in the field of environmental management that affect companies and activities that potentially pollute the soil.
As stated in the new Law 05/2017, of March 28, with entry into force last March 31, companies that delivered between 2005 and 2007 the Preliminary Situation Report by establishment of potentially polluting activity of the soil (as established by Royal Decree 9/2005), and that have not had since then a substantial change in their activity, must now submit the Periodic Status ReportThe new law recalls that periodic status reports must be submitted to the Waste Agency of Catalonia with the same content as the updated Preliminary Status Report and with a periodicity of ten years, unless the environmental license of the activity does not establish a shorter period.
On the other hand, a Situation Report must be submitted whenever there is a change of use of the occupied surface or the closure of the activity coinciding with the beginning of the cessation procedures.
