 Kronospan was fined earlier this month |
A confidential drop-in advice centre for companies to check if they are complying with the latest environmental laws is opening. An Environment Agency information caravan will visit Wrexham Industrial Estate on 8 and 9 December.
Business chiefs will be able to arrange free pollution prevention visits to their premises.
There have been a number of agency investigations in the Wrexham area during the last few months.
Earlier this month, woodchip giant Kronospan, from Chirk, near Wrexham, was ordered to pay �60,000 after pleading guilty to a number of offences.
Four of them related to an incident in July last year when oil leaked into the River Dee via a tributary.
The company said it regretted the incident and had expert help to advise on preventing further pollution.
Speaking about the information caravan, Environment Agency environment officer Si�n Andrew said: "We hope local businesses will visit the mobile information centre to find out more.
"Agency officers will be manning the confidential drop-in advice centre to deal with any queries regarding environmental legislation, pollution prevention measures, waste minimisation and water and energy efficiency."
A serious incident was averted near Wrexham in April after 20,000 litres of liquid, which threatened to pollute the River Dee, was mopped up.
The whey liquid leaked from a tanker and into the surface water drains after the vehicle was involved in an accident.
In a joint operation environment bosses and local farmers blocked the estuary to prevent the liquid from spreading downstream.
The accident happened near Overton-On-Dee, Wrexham.
The Environment Agency said at the time that a "potentially serious pollution incident was prevented."
