Environmental permit is a permit issued by an authority that enables a certain activity to be carried out in a certain area. An environmental permit is an important tool to ensure the state of the environment and the sustainable use of natural resources. The granting of the permit is based on the Environmental Protection Act and its purpose is to ensure that the operation does not cause harm to the environment or health.<\/p>\n
