Environmental Standard Operating Procedures
This set of documents outlines the Broads Authority’s environmental standard operating procedures when conducting a range of practical and engineering works in the Broads. The potential for negative environmental impact from such activities needs to be carefully considered prior to beginning works.
The likely impacts of each operation and how we control for them are outlined in each document. These procedures will help guide both staff and contractors as to the most sensitive working practices, methods and timings to protect the environmental and ecological quality of the Broads.
