Clean Air (Emission Permits) Regulations (5752-1992). Country/Territory Israel Document type Regulation Date 2010 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Air & atmosphere, Environment gen. Keyword Air quality/air pollution Environmental standards Pollution control Standards Protection of environment Emissions EIA Monitoring Geographical area Asia, Europe and Central Asia, Mediterranean, Middle East, Western Asia Abstract These Regulations set out the particulars, in terms of both form and content, of submitting a permit application to the duly appointed official in the Ministry of Environmental Protection under the Clean Air Law, 2008, which sets requirements for emission permits from major industrial polluters as specified in the annex to the law. The application must include information about the emission source, including: A description of the emission source, its boundaries, size and operation; Permits and licenses granted to the emission source in the field of environmental protection and nuisance prevention (e.g., business license, poison permit and administrative decree); Information on the vicinity of the emission source, including sensitive areas such as nature reserves, population concentrations and places which may be occupied by vulnerable populations such as children and the ill. Applications are to be prepared according to guidelines published by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, based on reference documents (BREFs) on Best Available Techniques (BAT) as well as models, examples and professional methodologies and procedures. The following documents must be attached to the permit application: Process survey: survey of all processes, materials, activities, emission sources and facilities for the reduction of pollutant emissions of pollutants; Emission survey: survey of pollutants and the rate of their emissions from both point sources and non-point sources (fugitive emissions); Environmental survey: survey to assess air quality in the vicinity of the emission source, including more distant areas which may be impacted by pollutant emissions. The survey will relate to existing pollutant emissions and future emissions once best available techniques are implemented, in comparison to ambient, reference and target values. Gap analysis: analysis of gaps in the emission source in comparison to best available techniques as presented in the BREFS, in relation to environmental management policy, energy efficiency, treatment and reduction technologies, procedures and maintenance, handling of failures and emergencies, sampling and monitoring, and reporting. Selection of best available techniques (BAT): information on BATs proposed in the BREFS which will bring about maximum emissions reduction. Implementation plan: plan for the implementation of the BAT chosen. Measures during high air pollution events: information on measures to be taken during a public alert about high air pollution levels. Full text English Website www.sviva.gov.il
