Consideration of Human Health Through IPPC

  • Number: 2004/10
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2003 - 2004
The key findings of this project are:
  • Applicants should be provided with guidance for the assessment of health through IPPC.
  • Strict compliance with ambient health based Environmental Quality Standards (EQSs) is necessary to ensure health protection.
  • Local sensitive receptors can justify more in depth assessments even if health based EQSs are not being exceeded.
  • Where EQSs are being exceeded then a maximum of 12 months should be allowed for improvements...

Energy Efficiency in Environmental Permits

  • Number: 2002/02
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2002
In the project the good practices were found in relation to the main objectives. Issues that were addressed are:
  • Practical guidances to clarify and define energy efficiency.
  • Information exchange between operator and authorities to create good permit applications.
  • Concrete examples of more or less binding permit conditions.
  • The use the BREFs
  • Self-monitoring under the precondition that the inspector can influence the monitoring practices of the...

Best Practices in Compliance Monitoring

  • Number: 2001/02
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2001
Compliance monitoring is a fundamental activity within environmental protection and is one of the main ways by which adherence to limits and laws can be assessed for regulatory purposes. It can involve a range of inspection and reporting activities carried out to determine compliance with regulatory requirements. The information provided by compliance monitoring is also valuable for other environmental and management activities (e.g.for optimising processes, protecting sensitive ecosystems, and informing...

Changes in Industrial Operations

  • Number: 2000/08
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2000
The aim of this project was to provide a basic insight into the practices of authorities responsible for controlling changes in operation from the point of view of environmental protection. The project was useful in clarifying the legislative demands of each of the participating member states and in showing how these demands and requirements are interpreted by different authorities. The overall objective was to find out what is good practice in supervision and control of changes in industrial operations...

Diffuse VOC Emission

  • Number: 2000/07
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2000
Establishing an environmental policy for industrial sources usually begins with the regulation of the large point sources. Attention is then focused on piped emissions, for example exhaust gases directed via a stack or wastewater through a discharge pipe. In general these piped emissions are well regulated and have been reduced substantially, to such an extent that the other emissions have become more and more dominating. With respect to atmospheric emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) these...

The Application of General Binding Rules in the Implementation of the IPPC Directive

  • Number: 2000/06
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2000
The following conclusions were made: Three possible alternatives were noted:
  • A statutory set of standard conditions applying to the entire operation of an installation;
  • A statutory set of standard conditions applying to one or more aspects of the operation of an installation;
  • A statutory set of minimum conditions established at a national level and binding on regional regulators.
The need for ensuring an equivalent high level of environmental protection...

Workshop on Integrated Permitting

  • Number: 2000/05
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2000
Some of the important conclusions were:
  • The permits should be precise and unambiguous.
  • An Interpretation and Glossary of Terms should be included in the permits.
  • All permits should require monitoring by the permitted facility and the Regulator should also carry out some monitoring.
  • EMS may or may not be appropriate for all operators. The EMS reporting workload may cause problems for Inspectors but can play a vital role in an Improvements Programme.
  • BREF...

Interrelationship Between IPPC, EIA, SEVESO Directives and EMAS Regulation

  • Number: 1998/02
  • Status: finalised
  • Period: 1998
The report of this project presents the results of an IMPEL ad hoc project with the regard to the issues above. It contains three main sections.
  1. section 1 is a comparison of the texts of the four instruments. It is intended to make reading the legal texts easier.
  2. section 2 lists the installations falling within the scope of the instruments. It is intended to give an indication of whether or not a particular installation has to comply with the provisions of...

Licensing and Enforcement Practices in a Cement Plant using alternative Fuel

  • Number: 1998/01
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 1998
The project reports that there are great differences amoung the Member States in:
  • Current emission limit values, particularly for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphur dioxide (SO2)
  • Requirements on monitoring
  • Criteria for input material, particularly waste
  • Competent authorities and licensing procedure, e.g. as regards trial runs
  • The report further contains reports on the legislative background in the EU as well as on Best Available Technology (BAT)...
