3.4.2 Environmental restrictions3.4.2.1 Environmental permitsGeneralRailway undertakings that wish to use railway yards managed by ProRail for operations other than forthe arrival, departure or transit of train traffic, may only do so if an environmental permit has beenissued for such operations. The environmental permits granted to ProRail, in as far as these containprovisions relating to the use of the railway infrastructure, are considered an integral part of theNetwork Statement.Railway yards are facilities where multiple users (such as ProRail and railway undertakings) canoperate simultaneously and alongside one another, using the same environmental permit. Every useris responsible for compliance with the permit and the applicable regulations. Every user can be held toaccount by the competent authority. ProRail has assumed the coordinating task to ensure that theusers of the facility are informed about the rights and obligations stated in the permit.Regulations to be agreed upon:► By entering into the Access Agreement, the railway undertaking accepts the obligation to performits operations in accordance with the permits regulations; non-compliance with these provisionsimply an attributable failure towards ProRail. Further details in this respect are provided in theGeneral Conditions (appendix 5) and the Operational Conditions (appendix 6). ◄Within the context of the acoustic study to determine compliance with environmental permits and forthe application of (revised) environmental permits, ProRail requires noise emission data on passengerstock and locomotives as applicable for the use on railway yards. Known average values are used forfreight stock.Regulations to be agreed upon:► ProRail requires all railway undertakings to submit a statement of the noise emission data of theirpassenger stock and locomotives. Further details of this statement are given in appendix 8. ◄A railway undertaking requires prior permission from ProRail if it intends to make changes to thepermit-linked activities (under the Environmental Permit (General Conditions) Act) at the site. Theenvironmental permit will have to be revised in a number of cases.Application for or change to an environmental permitIn case of an application for/change to a permit, ProRail will contact the relevant railway undertakingsfor the collection of the prescribed information. The information required from the railway undertakingis detailed in Section 3 of appendix 6. Consideration should thereby be given to the points below.• Based on input by the railway undertakings, ProRail will calculate the environmental effect of theactivities under application on the environment and draw up reports. The environmental reports,together with the application text, will be discussed with the railway undertakings. Timelycoordination with the railway undertakings takes place on submitting the final application,submitting opinions on the basis of the draft decision, and filing a letter of appeal. Copies of therelevant documents are sent to the railway undertakings.• Once the environmental permit has come into effect, ProRail translates the environmentalparameters into planning standards that form the basis for the allocation of capacity (integralcapacity management, see also Chapter 5.5.2).Besides its active role as operator in the performance of permit regulations, ProRail also has acoordinating role in processes concerning the submission of opinion documents and letters of appealand, when so addressed by the competent authority, in actions within the context of supervision andcompliance. A description of information required by ProRail from the railway undertakings is given inSection 3 of appendix 6.Environmental permit controlProRail assumes that railway undertakings are familiar with the permit regulations. All currentenvironmental permits and planning standards for railway yards are available for consultation via thePermit Management System (VBS) application developed by ProRail (see also Table 3.5). Here, usersNetwork Statement 2014 Combined Network - version 1.0 dated 9 January 2013 page 30
(parties who are co-responsible for compliance with the permit regulations) of a railway yard will findall the provisions with which they must comply.The restrictions and obligations laid down in the environmental permit can concern:• The handling - including the parking - of wagons with dangerous goods, in particular when loadedin tank wagons and tank containers.• The performance of operations that may place a noise load on the environment.• Measures to prevent soil contamination. The stabling of railway vehicles intended for scrapping istreated as the ‘storage of waste substances’.• The provision of data prior to and following operations (to be) carried out at a railway yard. Withrespect to the data to be provided after operations: see appendix 8.• The installation and use of facilities at the railway yard.• Codes of conduct for users.• Obligations to report on user volume, incidents, measures, target regulations, etc.Table 3.5Description of the Permit Management System (VBS)CategoryNotesApplicationPermit Management System (VBS)FunctionVBS is a web-based application that provides insight into the environmental permitsacquired by ProRail for the railway yards under its management.FacilityAccess to the VBS application by means of an allocated username and password.ApplicationVia the Servicedesk Infrastructure information (infrainformatie@prorail.nl).Delivery timeMaximum 1 working week.Delivery termsThe data may not be used for any other purpose than for which they have beenprovided by ProRail. The images may not be copied externally by the user or soldon to third parties. The railway undertaking is responsible for keeping up to date onformal publications concerning permits.User conditionsInternet connection and a software program to open PDF files.Availability / Reliability • Availability: 95% uptime.• Reliability: ProRail strives to enter environmental permit into VBS within 5 daysof the permit becoming irrevocable.Exceptional situationsIt may occur that ProRail is granted an environmental permit that also has implications for tracks thatfall outside the management of ProRail. In that case, ProRail will make arrangements with themanager of those tracks in order to ensure compliance with the permit conditions.Another possibility is that tracks and sites that fall under the management of ProRail fall within thescope of application of an environmental permit granted to a party other than ProRail. In that caseProRail will inform the railway undertaking about the conditions of the permit that are relevant to therailway undertaking.3.4.2.2 Noise on route sectionsProRail must each calendar year submit a compliance report to the Minister of Infrastructure and theEnvironment regarding compliance with statutory noise production limits. ProRail is moreover requiredunder the terms of the Management Concession to prepare a 5-yearly Noise Map for the Minister. Tofulfil these obligations, ProRail requires data from railway undertakings on the average realisedrunning and composition of trains during the day, evening and night periods in the calendar year.ProRail will, at the request of the railway undertakings, strive to acquire as much of this data aspossible from its own systems. The railway undertakings are responsible for the data.ProRail also requires the categorisation of the passenger stock as defined in the statutory calculationregulations. A distinction is made for freight stock between quiet and non-quiet freight wagons.Regulations to be agreed upon:► ProRail requires that every railway undertakings provides annual data on the average realisedrunning and composition of trains during the day, evening and night periods in the calendar year.Further details of this statement are given in appendix 8.
