The application process
In addition to submitting the application form to ERA in one printed and
one soft copy, applicants are required to submit a soft copy to the consultees
identified by Regulation 19(2) of the Industrial Emissions (IPPC) Regulations.
A signed delivery
note is required to be submitted as part of the application submitted to ERA.
The application is assessed by ERA in consultation with the
consultees identified by Regulation 19(2) of the Industrial Emissions (IPPC)
Regulations, LN 10 of 2013. ERA may ask for further information until
enough information is available for a decision. The application is then made
public on ERA’s website, ERA’s front office and the local council of the
locality in which the installation is proposed, for a period of 30 days during
which time the public is invited to comment.
After
permitting, the permit application and the permit are made available to the
public on ERA’s website. Submissions made as part of permit conditions and
inspection reports may also be placed on the website.
Variations of
the IPPC permit
The
IPPC permit is a dynamic permit, and may be varied should the Authority think
it is necessary to do so, or if the operator makes a request. In the case of
substantial changes, a 30-day public consultation period will be required prior
to the Authority making a decision, whereas for minor variations a 15-day
consultation period may be applicable. General application forms for variation
are available below.
Applying for
renewal of the permit
IPPC
permits are valid for a specific period, and the operator needs to submit an
application for renewal within the timeframe specified in the installation's
IPPC permit. An application for renewal should include the following
information:
(1) An indication of how
the improvements required by the IPPC permit have been implemented;
(2) A comparison of the operation of the plant with the latest relevant BAT
conclusions, where applicable;
(3) Submission of application forms A and C, if changes to the
operation are being proposed.
