 Consultation on Transposition of the Industrial Emissions Directive in Scotland.

The Scottish Government has invited comments on its transposition of the Industrial Emissions Directive in Scotland. This Directive "recasts” seven existing Directives: those on integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC), large combustion plants, waste incineration, activities using organic solvents and three on titanium dioxide production.

This consultation details how the PPC regulations will be modified to incorporate the changes needed to transpose the Industrial Emissions Directive requirements.

Schedule 1 of the draft PPC Regulations sets out the requirements that apply to Part A(1) installations. These include:

  • The recovery, or mix of recovery and disposal of non-hazardous wastes (e.g. biowaste) with a capacity exceeding 75 tonnes per day involving biological treatment; and
  • Where the only activity is anaerobic digestion (AD), the capacity threshold for this activity shall be 100 tonnes per day
This means that some composting, AD and other biological treatment operators will fall under the IED regime and may face significant additional compliance costs.  IED will apply to all new installations from 7th January 2013; to existing installations previously subject to the seven Directives that IED replaces from 7th January 2014; and existing installations operating newly prescribed activities from 7th July 2015.
The consultation is now closed but can be viewed here: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2012/09/4780
The AFOR response can be viewed HERE.
