New Partner Application
All information provided in the application is considered public information. If there are confidentiality issues please contact an ESI team member at 1-877-623-6748 or esi@ncdenr.gov
Please provide the general information about the facility as indicated on this page. If this application is for multiple sites, be sure to provide names and addresses for each site to be included in the program.
Multi-site applications are only accepted at the Partner level. Multi-site partners only need to submit a single annual report that includes information from all sites joining the program from a single organization/corporation. If one of those sites meets the requirements for the higher levels and would like to apply to that level separately, it is allowed and encouraged. However, that site would then be required to report separately on its individual progress.
(If name has changed within past 2 years)
For multi-site applications, enter a site name and address for each location to be included.
Multi-site applications are only allowed for Partners.
Please list any environmental permits and regulatory requirements, including permit numbers and/or ID numbers (i.e. hazardous waste identification numbers, etc). A pull-down menu is provided for most state permits. For those local, federal or state permits not listed, or if you need additional lines, use the extra lines at the bottom of the table.
Please tell us about the facility's environmental management system or plans to implement one.
Partners are not required to implement an EMS as long as they report on at least 2 measurable environmental goals.
(ex. Corrective action plan, updated protocols)
Tell us about your environmental goals for the upcoming year. Space for 5 goals is provided, but it is not required or expected that your organization will have that many goals. A minimum of 2 measurable goals is required unless the site is in the process of implementing an EMS. If EMS implementation is the goal, it is the only one required.
Use SMART goals whenever possible:
S - Specific
M - Measurable
A - Attainable
R - Relevant
T - Time-Bound
(Objective - include any numerical target associated with units as well as baseline and timeframe)
(list projects implemented or planned and any outcomes achieved)
