Transposition of the industrial emissions directive in Scotland: consultation

Public consultation on draft regulations to transpose the Industrial Emissions Directive into Scottish law.


APPENDIX C - legacy activities - remove from PPC Part A for other reasons

1. The activity descriptions tabulated here are proposed to be removed from Part A of Part 2 of Schedule 1 to PPC.

2. References to the PPC Regulations are to the existing Regulations rather than the new draft Regulations (from which these activities have already been omitted).

PPC Sch. 1, Part 2, Section… Activities to be removed - short description (The section heading under which the activity is listed is quoted in italics)
3.1 A (a) and (c) Production of Cement and Lime - grinding cement clinker or metallurgical slag. 1 permit (cement clinker) - grinding of cement clinker is proposed for insertion in Part B of Section 3.1. Note that production of cement clinker would remain in Part A.
3.3 A(a) Glass and Glass Fibre Manufacture - manufacturing glass fibre in an installation with a capacity of 20 tonnes/day or less. 2 permits - however the installations concerned operate above the threshold in the IED and would continue to be regulated.
3.3 A(b) Glass and Glass Fibre Manufacture - manufacturing glass frit or enamel frit where the aggregate quantity of such substances is likely to be 100 tonnes or more in any 12-month period. No current permits - this activity, and the use of frit in an activity related to its manufacture, is already listed under Part B of Section 3.3 without the capacity threshold.
3.4 A(b) Other mineral activities - manufacturing any fibre from any mineral. No current permits - installations with minimal impact.
4.1 A (d) Organic Chemicals - flame bonding and hot wire cutting of polyurethane foams or polyurethane elastomers. No current permits - activity similar to that described in 4.1 B (b) which is amended to cover this.
4.4 A (b) Biocide Production - formulating plant health products and biocides if this may result in the release to water of specified substances. No current permits - regulation solely as water discharge activities (under the Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Scotland) Regulations 2011) is considered sufficient.
6.4 A (c) Coating activities, printing and textile treatments - applying or removing organo-tin compounds. 7 permits - organo-tin compounds no longer applied, but still present on paint being removed. SEPA are satisfied that this can be regulated under the Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 where necessary.
