Specific monitoring and reporting requirements are included on each schedule permit and reporting is via EEMS. Note: Under the Energy Act 2008 (Consequential Modifications) (Offshore Environmental Protection) Order 2010, permits now extend to CCS activities. Regulator: DECC The OPPA requires a permit for minor oily discharges such as those associated with BOP actuation, subsea valve actuation, subsea production start‐up and pipeline disconnection. Specific monitoring and reporting requirements are included on each schedule permit and reporting is via EEMS. Note: Under the Energy Act 2008 (Consequential Modifications) (Offshore Environmental Protection) Order 2010, permits now extend to CCS activities. Regulator: DECC The OPPA requires permits for discharge of oily substances to sea with measurement and reporting of total oil and sand discharged. A permit is required to discharge oil contaminated sand and scale. Under the 2011 amendments, permits now extend to pipelines. Note: Under the Energy Act 2008 (Consequential Modifications) (Offshore Environmental Protection) Order 2010, permits now extend to carbon sequestration activities The IPPC Directive requires industrial and agricultural activities with a high pollution potential to have a permit. This permit can only be issued if certain environmental conditions are met, so that the companies themselves bear responsibility for preventing and reducing any pollution they may cause. Annex I of the Directive defines all applicable industrial and agricultural activities, including combustion installations located on offshore oil and gas platforms and, under EC 2009/31, CCS installations where an item of combustion plant on its own, or together with any other combustion plant installed on a platform, has a rated thermal input exceeding 50 MW(th). Regulator: DECC The Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 implements the EC IPPC Directive into UK law. More specifically Sections 1 and 2 of the Act confer on the Secretary of State power to make regulations providing for a new pollution control system to meet the requirements of the IPPC Directive and for other measures to prevent and control pollution. The Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (as amended) enact the IPPC Directive in Scotland and were made under the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999. The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 came into force on 6 th April 2008 making existing legislation more efficient by combining Pollution Prevention and Control and Waste Management Licensing regulations.
Balloch Field Development Environmental Statement Appendix A – Review of Legislation CO 2 Combustions Sources and Emissions 2011) These were extended by the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) (No.2) Regulations 2012 which aim to simplify the permitting process and came into force April 6 th 2012. The regulations require operators to apply for a permit for new offshore combustion processes which are to be permanently installed and, on its own or in addition to existing equipment on that installation, will result in a thermal rated input greater than 50MW. Requirements included: Offshore Combustion Installation (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Regulations 2001 (as amended 2007) EC Directive 2003/87 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading with the community (as amended by EC Directive 2009/29) The operator to apply for a permit, in writing to Secretary of State with prescribed information detailed in the Regulations Secretary of State will publish applications in the Gazettes specifying where applications can be obtained, and specifying a date not less than 4 weeks from the final Gazette publication, by which public will be permitted to make representations Public consultation period must be at least 28 days Permit will either be granted, along with conditions, or rejected (reasons for rejection will be given) Regular permit reviews are required to check whether the permit conditions are still relevant. These will be carried out by DECC at least once every five years. Following which the Department may either request an application for a permit variation or proceed to issue a revised permit. The 2001 Regulations implement the IPPC Directive and apply to combustion installations located on offshore oil and gas platforms and where an item of combustion plant on its own, or together with any other combustion plant installed on a platform, has a rated thermal input exceeding 50 MW(th). Under EC Directive 2009/31 and the Energy Act (Consequential Modifications) (Offshore Environmental Protection) Order 2010, the Offshore Combustion Installation (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Regulations 2001 permits now extend to installations on structures used for or in connection with gas storage or unloading activities The 2007 Amendments implement the amendments made to EC Directive 96/61 by the Public Participation Directive (which are included in the replacement EC Directive 2008/1 on IPPC) and bring in tighter requirements for public consultation as part of the permit application process. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) Directive was published in October 2003 and came into effect in January 2005. It aims to achieve reductions in GHG emissions as outlined in the Kyoto Protocol. The EU ETS Directive covers six GHG however, to date, only CO 2 is covered. The Directive applies to numerous installations, including those with combustion facilities with a combined rated thermal input of >20 MW (th). The Directive has been amended by three subsequent acts: A ‐ 23
