<a id="p100340"></a>**ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЕ ПРЕДЕЛОВ ВЫБРОСОВ**
**В ВОЗДУШНУЮ СРЕДУ ДЛЯ СОВМЕСТНОГО СЖИГАНИЯ ОПАСНЫХ ОТХОДОВ**

<a id="p100341"></a>Следующая формула (смешанное правило) должна применяться, если специальный общий предел выбросов не был установлен в таблице настоящего Приложения.
<a id="p100342"></a>Предельные и ориентировочные величины для каждого конкретного загрязнителя и CO в выпускаемых газах в результате совместного сжигания опасных отходов должны рассчитываться следующим образом:

<a id="p100343"></a>                       V    x C    + V     x C
                        отх    отх    проц    проц
                       ---------------------------- = C
                              V    + V
                               отх    проц


| V отх | Уровень выпускаемого газа в результате сжигания только отходов определенный исходя из количества отходов с минимальной тепловой ценностью, указанной в разрешении и стандартизированный на условиях, установленных в настоящей [Директиве](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200076es/statya-1#p100003). Если окончательное тепло, выпускаемое при сжигании отходов составляет менее 10% от общего тепла, выпускаемого объектом, V отх должно быть рассчитано (теоретически) исходя из количества отходов, которые должны были бы быть сожжены, эквивалентно 10% выпускаемого тепла, при фиксированном общем количестве выпускаемого тепла. |
| --- | --- |
| C отх | Предельная величина выбросов, установленная для объектов сжигающих отходы, предусмотренных в [Приложении V](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200076es/statya-23#p100443) для загрязнителей и CO. |
| V проц | Уровень выпускаемого газа в результате деятельности объекта включая сжигание разрешенного топлива обычно используемого на объекте (исключая отходы), определяемый на основе содержания оксигена, по которому выбросы должны быть стандартизированы в соответствии с национальными актами и регламентами Сообщества. В отступлении от регулирования такого рода объектов, должно использоваться реальное содержание оксигена в выпускаемых газах без дополнительного поддува в процессе сжигания. Стандартизация на других условиях устанавливается в настоящей [Директиве](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200076es/statya-1#p100003). |
| C проц | Пределы выбросов, предусмотренные в таблицах настоящего Приложения для некоторых промышленных секторов или в случае отступления от величин таблиц, предельные величины для каждого конкретного загрязнителя и CO в выпускаемых газах объектом в соответствии с национальными законами, регулирующими и административными положениями для таких объектов в течение периода горения обычного разрешенного топлива (исключая опасные отходы). В отступление от этих мер предельные величины выбросов устанавливаются в используемом разрешении. В отступление от условий разрешения используется показатель реальной массы концентрации. |
| C | Общие предельные величины выбросов и содержания оксигена, предусмотренные в таблицах настоящего Приложения для некоторых промышленных секторов или в случае отступления от величин таблиц, и Общие предельные величины выбросов для каждого конкретного загрязнителя и CO заменяющие предельные и ориентировочные величины, установленные в специальных приложениях к настоящей [Директиве](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200076es/statya-1#p100003). Общее содержание оксигена заменяет стандартное содержание оксигена, упомянутое в [статьях 6](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200076es/statya-6#p100171) и [7](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200076es/statya-7#p100190), рассчитывается на основе содержания вышеупомянутых конкретных значений. |

<a id="p100350"></a>II.1. Специальные положения для цементных печей совместного сжигания отходов
<a id="p100351"></a>Еженедельные средние значения (для непрерывных измерений), пробные периоды и другие требования относительно измерений в соответствии со [статьей 7](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200076es/statya-7#p100190). Все значения выражены в мг/куб. м (диоксины и фураны в нг/куб. м). Получасовые средние значения необходимы исключительно для расчета еженедельных средних значений.
<a id="p100352"></a>Результаты измерений, сделанные в целях проверки соответствия с пределами выбросов стандартизируются на следующих условиях: температура 273 К, давление 101,3 кПа, содержание оксигена 10%, сухой газ.

Decision of the European Parliament of 16 November 2000 and Decision of the Council of 20 November 2000.

<a id="p100517"></a>Whereas:
<a id="p100518"></a>    (1) The  fifth  Environment  Action Programme: Towards sustainability -
A  European  Community  programme  of  policy  and  action  in  relation to
the  environment  and sustainable  development,  supplemented  by  Decision
No. 2179/98/EC on its review <*>,  sets as an objective that critical loads
and  levels of certain  pollutants  such as nitrogen  oxides (NO ), sulphur

dioxide  (SO ), heavy metals  and dioxins should  not be exceeded, while in
            2
terms of air quality the objective is that all people should be effectively
protected  against  recognised   health  risks  from  air  pollution.  That
Programme further sets as an objective a 90%  reduction of dioxin emissions
of identified sources by 2005 (1985 level) and at least 70%  reduction from
all pathways of cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) emissions in 1995.

<a id="p100520"></a><*> OJ C 138, 17.5.1993, p. 1 and OJ L 275, 10.10.1998, p. 1.

<a id="p100521"></a>(2) The Protocol on persistent organic pollutants signed by the Community within the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE) Convention on long-range transboundary air pollution sets legally binding limit values for the emission of dioxins and furans of 0,1 ng/m; TE (Toxicity Equivalents) for installations burning more than 3 tonnes per hour of municipal solid waste, 0,5 ng/m; TE for installations burning more than 1 tonne per hour of medical waste, and 0,2 ng/m; TE for installations burning more than 1 tonne per hour of hazardous waste.
<a id="p100522"></a>    (3) The  Protocol  on  Heavy  Metals  signed  by  the  Community within
the  framework  of  the UN-ECE Convention  on long-range  transboundary air
pollution sets legally binding limit values for the emission of particulate
            3
of   10 mg/m   for  hazardous   and  medical  waste  incineration  and  for
                                        3
the  emission  of  mercury  of 0,05 mg/m  for  hazardous waste incineration
             3
and 0,08 mg/m  for municipal waste incineration.
<a id="p100523"></a>(4) The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the World Health Organisation indicate that some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic. Therefore, Member States may set emission limit values for PAHs among other pollutants.
<a id="p100524"></a>(5) In accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty, there is a need to take action at the level of the Community. The precautionary principle provides the basis for further measures. This Directive confines itself to minimum requirements for incineration and co-incineration plants.
<a id="p100525"></a>(6) Further, Article 174 provides that Community policy on the environment is to contribute to protecting human health.
<a id="p100526"></a>(7) Therefore, a high level of environmental protection and human health protection requires the setting and maintaining of stringent operational conditions, technical requirements and emission limit values for plants incinerating or co-incinerating waste within the Community. The limit values set should prevent or limit as far as practicable negative effects on the environment and the resulting risks to human health.
<a id="p100527"></a>(8) The Communication from the Commission on the review of the Community Strategy for waste management assigns prevention of waste the first priority, followed by reuse and recovery and finally by safe disposal of waste; in its Resolution of 24 February 1997 on a Community Strategy for waste management <*>, the Council reiterated its conviction that waste prevention should be the first priority of any rational waste policy in relation to minimising waste production and the hazardous properties of waste.

<a id="p100528"></a>

<a id="p100529"></a><*> OJ C 76, 11.3.1997, p. 1.

<a id="p100530"></a>(9) In its Resolution of 24 February 1997 the Council also underlines the importance of Community criteria concerning the use of waste, the need for appropriate emission standards to apply to incineration facilities, the need for monitoring measures to be envisaged for existing incineration plants, and the need for the Commission to consider amending Community legislation in relation to the incineration of waste with energy recovery in order to avoid large-scale movements of waste for incineration or co-incineration in the Community.
<a id="p100531"></a>(10) It is necessary to set strict rules for all plants incinerating or co-incinerating waste in order to avoid transboundary movements to plants operating at lower costs due to less stringent environmental standards.
<a id="p100532"></a>(11) The Communication from the Commission/energy for the future: renewable sources of energy/White paper for a Community strategy and action plan takes into consideration in particular the use of biomass for energy purposes.
<a id="p100533"></a>(12) Council Directive 96/61/EC <*> sets out an integrated approach to pollution prevention and control in which all the aspects of an installations environmental performance are considered in an integrated manner. Installations for the incineration of municipal waste with a capacity exceeding 3 tonnes per hour and installations for the disposal or recovery of hazardous waste with a capacity exceeding 10 tonnes per day are included within the scope of the said Directive.

<a id="p100535"></a><*> OJ L 257, 10.10.1996, p. 26.

<a id="p100536"></a>(13) Compliance with the emission limit values laid down by this Directive should be regarded as a necessary but not sufficient condition for compliance with the requirements of Directive 96/61/EC. Such compliance may involve more stringent emissions limit values for the pollutants envisaged by this Directive, emission limit values for other substances and other media, and other appropriate conditions.
<a id="p100537"></a>(14) Industrial experience in the implementation of techniques for the reduction of polluting emissions from incineration plants has been acquired over a period of ten years.
<a id="p100538"></a>(15) Council Directives 89/369/EEC <*> and 89/429/EEC <**> on the prevention and reduction of air pollution from municipal waste incineration plants have contributed to the reduction and control of atmospheric emissions from incineration plants. More stringent rules should now be adopted and those Directives should accordingly be repealed.

<a id="p100541"></a><**> OJ L 203, 15.7.1989, p. 50. Directive as last amended by the Accession Act of 1994.

<a id="p100542"></a>(16) The distinction between hazardous and non-hazardous waste is based principally on the properties of waste prior to incineration or co-incineration but not on differences in emissions. The same emission limit values should apply to the incineration or co-incineration of hazardous and non-hazardous waste but different techniques and conditions of incineration or co-incineration and different monitoring measures upon reception of waste should be retained.
<a id="p100543"></a>(17) Member States should take into account Council Directive 1999/30/EC of 22 April 1999 relating to limit values for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter and lead in ambient air <*> when implementing this Directive.

<a id="p100546"></a>(18) The incineration of hazardous waste with a content of more than 1% of halogenated organic substances, expressed as chlorine, has to comply with certain operational conditions in order to destroy as many organic pollutants such as dioxins as possible.
<a id="p100547"></a>(19) The incineration of waste which contains chlorine generates flue gas residues. Such residues should be managed in a way that minimises their amount and harmfulness.
<a id="p100548"></a>(20) There may be grounds to provide for specified exemptions to the emission limit values for some pollutants during a specified time limit and subject to specific conditions.
<a id="p100549"></a>(21) Criteria for certain sorted combustible fraction of non-hazardous waste not suitable for recycling, should be developed in order to allow the authorisation of the reduction of the frequency of periodical measurements.
<a id="p100550"></a>(22) A single text on the incineration of waste will improve legal clarity and enforceability. There should be a single directive for the incineration and co-incineration of hazardous and non-hazardous waste taking fully into account the substance and structure of Council Directive 94/67/EC of 16 December 1994 on the incineration of hazardous waste <*>. Therefore Directive 94/67/EC should also be repealed.

<a id="p100553"></a>(23) Article 4 of Council Directive 75/442/EEC of 15 July 1975 on waste <*> requires Member States to take the necessary measures to ensure that waste is recovered or disposed of without endangering human health and without harming the environment. To this end, Articles 9 and 10 of that Directive provide that any plant or undertaking treating waste must obtain a permit from the competent authorities relating, inter alia, to the precautions to be taken.

<a id="p100556"></a>(24) The requirements for recovering the heat generated by the incineration or co-incineration process and for minimising and recycling residues resulting from the operation of incineration or co-incineration plants will assist in meeting the objectives of Article 3 on the waste hierarchy of Directive 75/442/EEC.

<a id="p100566"></a>(27) The co-incineration of waste in plants not primarily intended to incinerate waste should not be allowed to cause higher emissions of polluting substances in that part of the exhaust gas volume resulting from such co-incineration than those permitted for dedicated incineration plants and should therefore be subject to appropriate limitations.
<a id="p100567"></a>(28) High-standard measurement techniques are required to monitor emissions to ensure compliance with the emission limit values for the pollutants.
<a id="p100568"></a>(29) The introduction of emission limit values for the discharge of waste water from the cleaning of exhaust gases from incineration and co-incineration plants will limit a transfer of pollutants from the air into water.
<a id="p100569"></a>(30) Provisions should be laid down for cases where the emission limit values are exceeded as well as for technically unavoidable stoppages, disturbances or failures of the purification devices or the measurement devices.
<a id="p100570"></a>(31) In order to ensure transparency of the permitting process throughout the Community the public should have access to information with a view to allowing it to be involved in decisions to be taken following applications for new permits and their subsequent updates. The public should have access to reports on the functioning and monitoring of the plants burning more than three tonnes per hour in order to be informed of their potential effects on the environment and human health.
<a id="p100571"></a>(32) The Commission should present a report both to the European Parliament and the Council based on the experience of applying this Directive, the new scientific knowledge gained, the development of the state of technology, the progress achieved in emission control techniques, and on the experience made in waste management and operation of the plants and on the development of environmental requirements, with a view to proposing, as appropriate, to adapt the related provisions of this Directive.

circumstances be higher than the prescribed emission limit values.
7. <a id="p100739"></a>The reduction of the frequency of the periodic measurements for heavy metals from twice a year to once every two years and for dioxins and furans from twice a year to once every year may be authorised in the permit by the competent authority provided that the emissions resulting from co-incineration or incineration are below 50% of the emission limit values determined according to Annex II or Annex V respectively and provided that criteria for the requirements to be met, developed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17, are available. These criteria shall at least be based on the provisions of the second subparagraph, points (a) and (d).
<a id="p100740"></a>Until 1 January 2005 the reduction of the frequency may be authorised even if no such criteria are available provided that:
<a id="p100741"></a>(a) the waste to be co-incinerated or incinerated consists only of certain sorted combustible fractions of non-hazardous waste not suitable for recycling and presenting certain characteristics, and which is further specified on the basis of the assessment referred to in subparagraph (d);
<a id="p100742"></a>(b) national quality criteria, which have been reported to the Commission, are available for these wastes;
<a id="p100743"></a>(c) co-incineration and incineration of these wastes is in line with the relevant waste management plans referred to in Article 7 of Directive 75/442/EEC;
<a id="p100744"></a>(d) the operator can prove to the competent authority that the emissions are under all circumstances significantly below the emission limit values set out in Annex II or Annex V for heavy metals, dioxins and furans; this assessment shall be based on information on the quality of the waste concerned and measurements of the emissions of the said pollutants;
<a id="p100745"></a>(e) the quality criteria and the new period for the periodic measurements are specified in the permit; and
<a id="p100746"></a>(f) all decisions on the frequency of measurements referred to in this paragraph, supplemented with information on the amount and quality of the waste concerned, shall be communicated on a yearly basis to the Commission.
8. <a id="p100747"></a>The results of the measurements made to verify compliance with the emission limit values shall be standardised at the following conditions and for oxygen according to the formula as referred to in Annex VI:
<a id="p100748"></a>(a) Temperature 273 K, pressure 101,3 kPa, 11% oxygen, dry gas, in exhaust gas of incineration plants;
<a id="p100749"></a>(b) Temperature 273 K, pressure 101,3 kPa, 3% oxygen, dry gas, in exhaust gas of incineration of waste oil as defined in Directive 75/439/EEC;
<a id="p100750"></a>(c) when the wastes are incinerated or co-incinerated in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere, the results of the measurements can be standardised at an oxygen content laid down by the competent authority reflecting the special circumstances of the individual case;
<a id="p100751"></a>(d) in the case of co-incineration, the results of the measurements shall be standardised at a total oxygen content as calculated in Annex II.
<a id="p100752"></a>When the emissions of pollutants are reduced by exhaust gas treatment in an incineration or co-incineration plant treating hazardous waste, the standardisation with respect to the oxygen contents provided for in the first subparagraph shall be done only if the oxygen content measured over the same period as for the pollutant concerned exceeds the relevant standard oxygen content.
9. <a id="p100753"></a>All measurement results shall be recorded, processed and presented in an appropriate fashion in order to enable the competent authorities to verify compliance with the permitted operating conditions and emission limit values laid down in this Directive in accordance with procedures to be decided upon by those authorities.
10. <a id="p100754"></a>The emission limit values for air shall be regarded as being complied with if:
<a id="p100755"></a>(a) - none of the daily average values exceeds any of the emission limit values set out in Annex V (a) or Annex II;
- <a id="p100756"></a>97% of the daily average value over the year does not exceed the emission limit value set out in Annex V (e) first indent;

11. <a id="p100760"></a>The half-hourly average values and the 10-minute averages shall be determined within the effective operating time (excluding the start-up and shut-off periods if no waste is being incinerated) from the measured values after having subtracted the value of the confidence interval specified in point 3 of Annex III. The daily average values shall be determined from those validated average values.
<a id="p100761"></a>To obtain a valid daily average value no more than five half-hourly average values in any day shall be discarded due to malfunction or maintenance of the continuous measurement system. No more than ten daily average values per year shall be discarded due to malfunction or maintenance of the continuous measurement system.
    12. <a id="p100762"></a>The average values over the sample period and the average values in
the case of periodical measurements of HF, HCl and SO  shall  be determined
                                                     2
in  accordance with  the requirements  of Article 10 (2) and (4)  and Annex
**III.**
13. <a id="p100763"></a>The Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17, shall decide, as soon as appropriate measurement techniques are available within the Community, the date from which continuous measurements of the air emission limit values for heavy metals, dioxins and furans shall be carried out in accordance with Annex III.
