Details of the application

The Environment Agency has received an application to vary an environmental permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 involving substantial change to a permit from Ellgia Limited.

Application number

EPR/WP3397FZ/V007

Regulated facility type

Activity listed in Schedule 1 of the EP Regulations – Section 5.4 Part A(1)b(ii) Recovery or a mix of recovery and disposal of non-hazardous waste with a capacity exceeding 75 tonnes per day involving pre-treatment of waste for incineration or co-incineration.

Activity listed in Schedule 1 of the EP Regulations – Section 5.4 Part A(1)(a)(iii) Disposal of non-hazardous waste with a capacity exceeding 50 tonnes per day involving pre- treatment of waste for incineration or co-incineration.

The site currently operates as a waste treatment and transfer facility, receiving non-hazardous municipal, commercial and industrial waste. Waste is mechanically treated to remove recyclable material which is transferred to other sites for further processing. The residual waste fraction is processed to produce refuse derived fuel (RDF) and solid Recovered fuel (SRF) which are sent to energy recovery facilities and for co-firing cement kilns in the UK and overseas.

The activities on site will not change because of the permit consolidation / variation. The primary reasons for the application are to simplify the permitting into a single modern style permit and add an installation due to the volumes of RDF and SRF being produced.

Regulated facility address

Ellgia Scunthorpe
Winterton Road
Scunthorpe
North Lincolnshire

The application contains a description of how the proposed change(s) may affect:

  • the installation
  • the materials, substances and energy it will use and generate
  • the conditions of its site
  • the source, nature and quantity of its foreseeable emissions and their significant effects on the environment
  • the proposed techniques for preventing, reducing, and monitoring its emissions and preventing and recovering waste
  • and an outline of the main alternatives, if any, considered
