This course covers the principles of environmental permitting and will explain how industrial activities are regulated under the UK’s Pollution Prevention and control framework. The role of PPC and the interfaces and conflict with other legislation and areas of work such as Statutory Nuisance will be examined.  Delegates will be introduced to the EU Industrial Emissions Directive, which instructs and supports LAPPC / LA-IPPC.

The purpose of this course is to introduce delegates to industrial process emissions, describe their nature and explain the various pollution control techniques that are available. The course aims to ensure that delegates can accurately identify the likely pollutants to be considered by a Pollution Prevention and Control permit for those industrial processes falling under Local Authority control.

The course will ensure that delegates understand how to effectively manage and discharge the duties required of them as authorised officers in respect of Pollution Prevention and Control. We will discuss management issues such as performance management techniques, partnership working and the auditing and peer review of the Pollution Prevention and Control function as well as the practical issues of managing site inspections and the relationship between the operator and regulator.

A webinar designed for officers undertaking inspections of permitted activities of all types.

This mini-webinar defines the legal powers of an appointed officer to inspect and the legal requirement for inspections of permitted activities & suggests the various reasons why inspections may be triggered.The frequency of inspections is considered and the mechanism of how inspection frequency is linked to risk rating and subsistence fees is demonstrated. A procedure is proposed for officers to adopt as a template for inspections, which may be adapted to suit the various situational needs of Local Authorities. This includes essential pre-inspection preparation & post inspection reporting.

The webinar will examine a range of dust related issues that Local Authorities may need to manage or regulate.  The webinar will focus on the regulation of planning and nuisance issues but be touch on other regulatory regimes such as environmental permitting legislation. The webinar will provide an introduction to dust, including a look at how the material properties, definitions and likely impacts of dust vary depending on the dust type and the activities with which it is associated. We will review of current legislation and guidance on dust nuisance and how it can be assessed. We intend to use a series of case studies to reinforce practical aspects of nuisance monitoring and assessment.

On completion of the webinar we expect delegates will have a better understanding of the use of monitoring and to understand factors which can influence a successful dust nuisance campaign.

The purpose of this webinar is to provide an understanding of short term local air quality impacts that may occur in the immediate vicinity of chimneys discharging pollutants mainly from combustion processes. The need to approve the size of the stack remains a legislative requirement under the Clean Air Act and,  is assessed in determining permits for Environmental Permitting Regulations activities regulated by Local Authorities. Such calculations are designed to protect local receptors from short term pollutant impacts and nuisance from odorous pollutant exposure.

The webinar uses worked examples to show the basis of the calculation and is designed to enable air quality and planning professionals to have confidence to be able review stack height calculations submitted as part of planning and permit applications.

The webinar presents data that demonstrate that a stack height determined using such calculation procedures (HMIP D1 or Chimney Height Memoranda methods) should ensure compliance with NAQS objectives.

The Air Quality (Domestic Solid Fuels Standards) (England) Regulations 2020 have been made under the Environment Act 1995 and place controls on sale of solid fuels (mineral fuels and wood fuels) for domestic use in England. Local Authorities are responsible for enforcement of the regulations which came into effect in May 2021. The Regulations are additional to controls on smoke and nuisance available under Clean Air Act 1993 (CAA) and Environmental Protection Act 1990 but some requirements for mineral fuels align with requirements for Authorised fuels in CAA. The webinar has been prepared to inform Local Authorities of the requirements of the new Regulations and provide guidance on the context and implementation. This training is intended to introduce Local Authority officers to the controls and responsibilities of the Regulations so that they can provide advice, undertake potential investigation actions and, where required, undertake enforcement activities.

This advanced webinar considers the management and control of odour from commercial kitchens. The webinar will consider the operational factors which define the scale of an extraction system and considers the characteristics of the extracted air stream which are important for designing pollution control equipment. As part of this we will explain how the Kitchen risk assessment should be applied as part of the planning/development process.

We will rely on a series of real-life kitchen scenarios during the webinar to examine practical examples of how kitchen operators have tried to address pollution control and will identify areas where designs commonly fail.

A webinar to introduce and distinguish the different types of Small Waste Incineration Plant (SWIP) regulated under EPR. These range from a small (<50kg/hr) waste treatment facility through a Part B SWIP activity, a medium combustion plant SWIP to an EPR Schedule 13 SWIP. SWIPs have different regulators and permitting requirements depending on the type of SWIP. The webinar will provide sources of guidance and some of the potential pitfalls in deciding the scope and determining a permit application.
