Brief description of activity

This variation permits a time-limited delay to 31 December 2023 in meeting these BAT-AELs through the introduction of temporary emission limits (Table S3.2 of this permit), with an improvement condition (IC40) to address reporting progress on development of a ferric sulphate production plant.
