Basic considerations for implementation of the IPPC Directive 2008/1/EC Scope of integration One permit system Two permit system Central De-central permitting Fees Not fees National BAT reference doc. Fixed format for application and permits or Rely on EU BREFs etc Guidelines

Preparation for implementation 1. 2. 3. Implementation plan – incl. list of IPPC installation Negotiation of transitory period with EC and industry Draft legislation + impact assessment (estimation of total cost for industry 0. 3 – 1 billion EUR) 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Communication with operators – seminars, web, direct mail, information centre Translation of BREFs Participation in IEF, IPPC expert group, TWGs Pilot and capacity building projects Preparation of funds for support of BAT implementation

Scope of integration – basis for legal and institutional framework 7

Legal framework Act No. 76/2002 Coll. , on IPPC - in force since 1. 1. 2003 - Transposition of IPPC Directive - Special act to media and corresponding legislation IPPC Act content: • Integrated permitting • Integrated pollution register • BAT information exchange system • State administration competencies • Transitory and linking provisions (changes to related media legislation and link with construction permitting)

Subsidiary legislation Decree on integrated permit application: description of installation and related activites; materials and energy consumption, emissions and waste generation, comparison with BAT, monitoring methods, proposal of binding conditions, … Gov. Decree on BAT information exchange system Gov. Decree on integrated pollution register

IPPC Legal framework in Estonia § § § IPPC Act with main provisions of IPPC Regulation on the list of enterprises and call in dates Regulation on content of applications (very detailed) Regulation on content of permits (very detailed) Sector Acts (air, water and waste) Regulations with water and air ELVs (mostly EU)

Best Available Techniques application Comparison with BAT – in IP application: • Use sectoral or horizontal BAT Ref. Documents (BREFs) • Use sectoral studies – national/EU or other EU MS guidance (e. g. UK BAT notes) • Comparison with competitors and info from suppliers of technologies • Assess consideration from annex 4 of the IPPC Dir. In practice „WE HAVE BAT because it was EXPENSIVE“ Support BAT programs – national ecofunds, EU funds, EBRD

Improvement programmes implementation 1. 2. 3. 4. Operator compares his techniques with BAT - addressing all aspects Operator identifies non compliance areas Operator includes in the application his justified suggestion action plan for complying with EU requirements (BAT), including necessary investments Regulator includes in the permit the requirements for improvement, with precise conditions. Action plan is thus changed into conditions on improvement with deadlines for each achievement.

Integrated permitting procedure 1. Preliminary consultations 2. Submitting IP application to permitting authority PA check completeness of application Publishing of application summary and sending for comments to related authorities and for assessment to IPPC Agency Public hearing with participants of procedure Decision on application (issuing IP) If no appeal - publishing of IP 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Total max. time -140/120 days (administration act supports prolongation of procedure)

Participation of public and related authorities Published documents: • Nontechnical summary of application • Assessment of applications • Valid permit NGO`s, industrial association and general public - right to comments on application, …participate in public hearing; (participation of NGO in 10 -20% of procedures) Related authorities for consultation within procedure: Water catchment A. , Regional Authorities‘ water, waste and air protection dept. , Local Authorities, Inspectorates, …

Setting permit conditions 1) Binding conditions – emission limit values are based on: • Consideration of BAT… • Requirements on local environmental quality • National legal requirements (ELVs, …) 2) Minimum standards = ELVs set in media based legislation (e. g. requirements for LCP) and requirements of regional environmental plans; other conditions as specified in the IPPC directive (monitoring requirements, …) 3) The lifecycle of technology should be respected =>feasible solutions in each specific case should be find In practice (in CR) for existing installation the 1 st integrated permit is 50 – 95 % based on former media based permits.

BAT information exchange system Gov. Decree sets: • TWG support participation of Czech representatives in EU TWGs and technical support of Czech IPPC • Mo. E, MTI, Mo. A are responsible for translating BREFs • Czech Information exchange forum – representatives of TWGs, permitting auth. , Mo. E, MTI, Mo. A, CEI, AIP, NGOs, … www. ippc. cz – BREFs in Czech, links to EIPPCB, contacts for national WG, …

Recommendations 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Consultation with industry and authorities on drafting legislation Regulatory integration has to be supported by clear setting of responsibilities and coordination of authorities Identification of installations for implementation plan Funds to support BAT application Application form + guidance needed in advance (tested on pilot permits) Negotiation: a) application before official procedure b) improvement plans during permitting procedure
