Green Mountain Coffee Multi-Site Operations

SERVICE:

Developing Environmental Permit and Compliance Programs

DESCRIPTION:

Tech staff was tasked with developing permit compliance programs for Keurig Green Mountain's North American coffee roasting and k-cup packaging facilities. Based on state, local and federal regulations for each of seven sites, a universal permit record-keeping, monitoring, reporting and corrective action practices was developed for each facility. The overall compliance strategy assessed all permit threshold requirements, identified modifications to current permit strategies and developed a roadmap of potential growth hurdles. A key component was implementing industry best practices to build and maintain corporate preparedness to deal effectively with potential EPA inspections and developed a strategy for handling inspections, including designating personnel to work with inspectors. With this program, each facility or the company as a whole, would be best prepared to respond effectively to EPA, state, or local inspections.
