Environmental documents Walloon Region

In the Walloon Region, environmental documents are crucial for the protection of the environment and public health.

These documents include information on the activities of companies and organisations that have an impact on the environment and human and animal health. These can include permits for the operation of industrial installations, assessments of their environmental impact and reports on incidents and accidents.

By keeping these documents for a specified period, the authorities can enforce compliance with environmental legislation and detect and sanction any infringements. These documents can also be used to prevent future environmental risks and to protect the health and safety of the public.

The required retention period for these documents varies by type of document and can range from several years to decades. It is important that these documents are kept secure during this period to avoid loss or destruction.
