Amendment to PPC Regulations
The Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2006 (Statutory Instrument 2006 No. 2311) were laid before Parliament 29th August 2006, and enter into force on 1st October 2006.
These Regulations amend the Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 (the “PPC Regulations”) in England only, as follows.
• Regulation 2(2)(a) amends part B of section 1.2 (Gasification, Liquefaction and Refining Activities) of Schedule 1 to the PPC Regulations by adding motor vehicle refuelling activities to the list of activities that require a permit under the PPC Regulations.
• Regulation 2(2)(b) amends Section 5.1 (Incineration and Co-incineration of waste) of Schedule 1 to the PPC Regulations by clarifying that incineration incidentally in the course of burning of landfill gas is not subject to permitting under the PPC Regulations.
• Regulation 2(3) amends Schedule 3 (Prescribed Date and Transitional Arrangements) to exempt certain operators of coin operated dry cleaning machines who choose not to make an application for a permit before 31st October 2006 from the permit requirements of the Solvent Emissions Directive 1999/13/EC on the basis that they agree to cease carrying out operations that fall within the scope of that Directive at the installation before the 31st October 2007.
