Synopsis
Report on IPC Licensing and Control in Ireland for the year 2000 INTRODUCTION The EPA is responsible for the Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) licensing of large or complex activities with significant polluting potential that are listed in the First Schedule to the EPA Act, 1992 (Appendix 2). These activities are divided into thirteen major industrial sectors, which are further divided into sub-classes. Appendix 2 also sets out the dates by which IPC licensing is required for new and existing activities. New activities, as defined in the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992, must apply for and obtain a licence before they can start operating. Existing activities must apply for a licence by specified dates. Most of these specified dates have passed with the exception of a sub-class of activity in the Energy sector, which is due in January 2002. STATUS OF IPC LICENSING IPC APPLICATIONS Significant progress continues to be made in the processing of applications for licences. By the end of 2000 a total of 592 applications had been received since the commencement of IPC licensing, of which 56 were received during the year.

The classes of activity with the highest number of applications were: - Intensive Agriculture - Class 6.2 - The rearing of pigs - 13 applications. - Surface Coating - Class 12.2 - The manufacture or use of coating materials in processes - 10 applications. - Energy - Class 2.1 - The production of energy in combustion plant - 8 applications. Almost half of the applications received in 2000 were from Counties Dublin (20 percent), Cork (16 percent) and Tipperary (11 percent). IPC DECISIONS The EPA granted 65 licences in 2000, bringing to 474 the total number of licences granted since the commencement of IPC licensing. The classes, which accounted for the majority of these 65 licences, were: - Intensive Agriculture - Class 6.2 - The rearing of pigs - 22 licences. - Chemicals - Class 5.6 - The manufacture of pesticides, pharmaceuticals or veterinary products - 5 licences. - Food and Drink - Class 7.2 - The manufacture of dairy products - 5 licences. - Surface Coating - Class 12.2 - The manufacture or use of coating materials in processes - 5 licences.
