Details

This paper provides guidance to applicants on how the Environment Agency will consider air quality impact assessments from Group 3 metals stack emissions from municipal waste incinerators and waste wood co-incinerators when we determine permit applications in respect of Schedule 1 activities under the Environmental Permit Regulations 2010 (EPR).

Metals assessments from other plant subject to the Waste Incineration Directive may use the method in this guidance if they can justify the data as representative.
