Abstract

These Regulations set out, for Scotland, a pollution control regime for the purpose of implementing the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive (Council Directive 96/61/EC) and for regulating other environmentally polluting activities not covered by the Directive. The Regulations control the operation of any installation or mobile plant carrying out any of the activities listed in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Regulations. Part I of the Regulations (regs. 1 to 5) sets out general provisions. There are definitions in regulations 2 and 3. The other regulations in Part I deal with such general matters as the meaning of fit and proper person for the purposes of the Regulations and setting out the obligation to use best available techniques. Part II (regs. 6 to 17) deals with the need for a permit to operate an installation or mobile plant covered by the Regulations (reg. 6), the procedure for granting permits and the contents of permits (regs. 7 to 11 and Schedules 4 and 5), and the treatment of permits once granted (regs. 12 to 17 and Schedule 7). Regulation 10 enables the Scottish Ministers to make general binding rules containing requirements that may apply instead of conditions included in permits. Regulations 11 and 13 to 17 and Schedule 7 deal with the review, variation, transfer, surrender and revocation of permits. Part III (regs. 18 to 21) contains the enforcement powers under the Regulations. Part IV (reg. 22) and Schedule 8 provide for appeals. Part V (regs 23 to 25) enables the Scottish Ministers to give directions and guidance to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and to make plans relating to emissions. Part VI (regs. 26 to 29) deals with information and publicity. Part VII (regs. 30 to 33) sets out offences.
