What Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions - integrated pollution prevention and control - recast requires
Directive 2010/75/EU establishes an integrated approach to pollution prevention and control for industrial activities, requiring that no installation, combustion plant, waste incineration plant, or waste co-incineration plant operates without a permit or, for certain installations covered only by Chapter V, registration. Permits must include emission limit values for polluting substances set on the basis of Best Available Techniques (BAT) and BAT conclusions drawn from reference documents (BAT reference documents), which are reviewed and updated no later than 8 years after the previous version. Operators must submit applications describing the installation, raw materials, energy use, emission sources, site conditions, and, where applicable, a baseline report on soil and groundwater contamination (Article 12). Permit conditions must be reconsidered regularly and updated, particularly when new or updated BAT conclusions are adopted; Member States may set a longer period than 4 years if justified. In the event of non-compliance with permit conditions, the operator must immediately inform the competent authority, take measures to restore compliance, and the competent authority may require complementary measures; if the breach poses an immediate danger to human health or the environment, operation must be suspended until compliance is restored (Article 8). The Directive sets specific emission limit values for large combustion plants, waste incineration and co-incineration plants, and installations producing titanium dioxide, and allows for temporary derogations from emission levels associated with BAT for testing emerging techniques. It also establishes general binding rules that Member States may use to set requirements for categories of installations, and requires environmental inspections to check and promote compliance with permit conditions. The Directive recasts and replaces seven earlier directives, including those on integrated pollution prevention and control, large combustion plants, waste incineration, and volatile organic compounds.
