IPPC
•
•
•
•
Prevent/control Pollution
From Industrial plants (not products)
Through permits
Based on Best Available Techniques
(BATs)
• With experience exchange (BREFs)
and public information (EPER)
3
Air Framework Directive
• Requires AQ improvement plans
– Identify main sources
– Implies restriction on development
• EQS criteria set
– Including vulnerable “historic heritage”
• Emission sources to be mapped
4
Seveso Directive
• Applies if inventory of dangerous
substances is over a threshold
• Requires
– a safety plan
– public emergency planning
– exclusion zone for development
• Appropriate risk management conditions are
required for non-Seveso Sites under IPPC
5
EIA Directive
• New or changed IPPC installations require
EIA
• Some non IPPC Developments req EIA
• Paralell Public Participation Requirements
• IEA / EIA allow for construction, IPPC allows
for operation
• SEA Directive addresses regional planning
6
VOC Directives
• Requires a Mass Balance or Solvent
Management plan
• Focus on Fugitive emissions
• 1994/63/EC (VOC from Petrol) sets out
specific requirements for terminals and
refineries.
7
Water Framework Directive
•
•
•
•
Integrates requirements of prior directives
Requires BAT, ELVs, BEP (Art 10.2)
Enforces EQS, classification of zones
Adds priority substances (Art 22.5)
– given in decision 2455/2001/EC
– 44 specified, eg Atrazine, Lindane
8
Waste Incineration
• Sets out BAT for incinerators
• Sets out monitoring requirements
• Requires implementation – no transition
period
• Applies to municipal incinerators and
Cements plant involved in co-incineration
– Burning tyres, ecofuel, petcoke etc
9
LCP Directive
• Sets Sox Nox and Particle emission limits
• Sets reduction targets (member states)
• Sets Monitoring and Reporting obligations
on operators and authorities
10
Public Participation
• Implements Aarhus convention
• Amends IPPC
– Clarifies “Significant change”
– Requires openness & transparency
– Requires authorities’ decisions to be justified.
• Adds an Annex V to IPPC which requires:
–
–
–
–
Early notification
Complete notification
Taking of comments into account
Timeframes to favour Public Participation
11
Emissions Trading Directive
• States have national quota of GHG to be traded
internally or internationally
• No emission limits may be set in the IPPC permit
for GHGs
– Unless necessary to protect environment
• GHG emission trading linked to renewable option
certificates (ROCs)
12
Others
•
•
•
•
•
Waste
Asbestos
Nitrates – Vulnerable Zones
Habitats and ASIs
Reporting Directive
13
Pollution reduction
Best Available Techniques:
Annex IV of the IPPC Directive
•
use of less hazardous substances,
• low waste options,
• recovery,
•
recycling and
• reuse of substances generated
Emphasis on pollution prevention
Described in EU Bref notes and national BAT guides
14
Solutions
• BAT
• Modelling
• Management Systems

Dispersion Modelling
• Air
– Point Emissions
– Accidental Releases
– Immissions
• Water
– PC Quasar
• Groundwater
– Phast (beta)
• Noise
– Offsite impacts
21
Management Systems
• Quality
– ISO 9000
• Environment
– ISO 14000
– EMAS
• Safety
– OHSAS 18000
22
The new order
• Partnership between Industry and Society
– Co-operative approach to permits and
environment
– More pro-active industry
– More public scrutiny
– More transparency
– Respect for internal and external market
