Environmental Legislation
Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) licence
a single integrated licence which covers all emissions from the facility and its environmental management
covers emissions to air, water, land, control of waste and control of energy and resources
aim is to
control use of energy/resources
prevent/reduce these emissions
prevent pollution
EPA is licensing authority
legislation
Environmental Protection Agency (Licensing) Regulations from 1994 to 2004
commenced licensing of each activities in turn for new developments or industries starting up
Environmental Protection Agency Act, 1992.
provides list of 13 classes of activity that require a license
EPA ACT 1992 established activities order 2006
licensing for existing developments over certain thresholds in size
EU Directive 2010/75 Industrial Emissions (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control)
6 sections
Chemical Industry
Production and Processing of metals
Waste Management
Energy
Other activities
Mineral Industry
Initiation
Established as a result of European Comission review for European legislation on industrial emissions
Replaces seven exisiting directives - LCPD, IPPC, WID, SED and three directives on titanium dioxide
EPA licensing
IED has now been transposed into Irish legislation
EPA can license an Industrial Emissions License
