What UK Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 (c.24): Enabling Power for the Integrated Pollution Control and Environmental Permitting Regime requires
The Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 (c. 24) is the enabling statute under which the Secretary of State makes regulations to prevent and control pollution from industrial and other activities, providing the legal basis for the Pollution Prevention and Control regime and, in succession, the Environmental Permitting regime in England and Wales. Section 1 sets the general purpose of section 2 and defines pollution and the environment for the purposes of the Act. Section 2 confers the central power to make provision by regulations for or in connection with implementing the integrated pollution prevention and control framework and for otherwise preventing, reducing, or remedying pollution, with the particular purposes specified in Schedule 1. Section 3 provides for the prevention of pollution after accidents involving offshore installations. Section 4 provides for time-limited disposal or waste management licences. Section 5 addresses the application of the Act to Wales and Scotland. Section 6 provides for consequential and minor amendments and repeals, and section 7 sets out the short title, interpretation, commencement, and extent. Schedule 1 specifies in detail the particular purposes for which provision may be made under section 2, including emission standards, the determination of the regulator, the grant and conditions of permits, monitoring, enforcement notices, charging schemes, and the creation of offences. The Act is the foundational enabling power for industrial pollution permitting in Great Britain.
