On 21st April 2006, Defra issued a consultation on revised guidance on the Best Available Techniques for minimising pollution from activities in the A2 Galvanizing sector – IPPC SG5. The consultation letter has been sent to members of all the technical working groups for LA-IPPC sectors.

This revised version of SG5 takes account of two sector specific issues. The first, concerns how surface water runoff from roofs and yards should be dealt with. The second concerns a trial of non-galvanizing jigs which appear to be an emergent technology.

The revised guidance will be issued under regulation 37 of the Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) Regulations 2000. Defra and the Welsh Assembly Government are carrying out this consultation exercise jointly.

The deadline for receipt of responses is 16th June 2006. Further information is available from: http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/sg5-galvanising/index.htm
