Consultation
on Transposition of the Industrial Emissions Directive in Scotland.
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.
