Your Concerns

We want to hear from you. We are acutely aware of the impact that our operations have on some of our neighbours. We are committed to working together to minimise and mitigate the affects our operations have on neighbouring properties.

Our OHSE team constantly monitors the effects of our plant, both on the adjacent neighbourhood and across Bermuda. OHSE works closely with The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to ensure that BELCO emissions are within required limits.

BELCO meets the highest international standard for its environmental management system, maintaining the ISO 14001 certification. Additionally, BELCO complies with the Clean Air Act 1991 and the Regulations 1993. Each quarter, BELCO reports data from all quality monitoring programmes to the Environmental Authority.

Water Quality

With the support of the Bermuda Biological Station and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, BELCO conducts tank water testing annually. To date, all results have shown that all water tested meets the primary standards for safe drinking water set by the US, the UK and the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Air Quality

Through the use of portable ambient air quality monitoring stations and in-stack mounted opacity monitors, we have been able to measure our impact on air quality and opacity. To date, BELCO continues to meet and surpass the standards set by the Bermuda Clean Air Act and subsequent regulations. Reports on the collected data are provided quarterly to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Environmental Authority.

Mitigation efforts considered:

  1. Roof painting
  2. Property cleaning
  3. Vehicle cleaning
  4. Tank cleaning
  5. Water Filtration

MITIGATION EFFORTS

We are aware of the impact that our operations have on some properties in the area surrounding the plant. We are committed to mitigating these impacts and communicating with our neighbours regularly.

If you have any environment or safety concerns in regards to our operations and equipment, we encourage you to reach out using the form below.

Once we have received your concern, one of our OHSE team members will contact you within 48 hours. Depending on the type of concern, our team will work with you to arrange a property visit, where we will conduct an impact assessment.
