Air emissions permit
In Ukraine, one of the important areas in the environmental sphere is the protection of atmospheric air. The issue of emissions containing pollutants is regulated at the legislative level by granting permits to business entities, but under certain conditions.
Normative and legal basis of law
The legislation regulating the issue of emission permits includes:
- Law of Ukraine “On Protection of Atmospheric Air”. It defines the legal framework in this area
- Law of Ukraine “On the Permit System in the Sphere of Economic Activity”. This law is designed to define the main principles of the functioning of the permit system for economic activity
- Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers “On Approval of the Procedure for Conducting and Paying for Work Related to the Issuance of Permits for Emissions of Pollutants into the Atmospheric Air by Stationary Sources”
Emissions permit – what is it and how to get it?
A permit for emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere is an official document issued by the state to an enterprise or organization, allowing them to emit a certain amount of pollutants into the air during their work. It is mandatory for companies that emit from stationary sources.
A business entity that needs to obtain an emissions permit is required to declare its intention to obtain the appropriate permit. The further algorithm of actions is as follows:
- Conduct an inventory of stationary sources of pollutant emissions, their volumes and types, as well as special equipment
- Register the inventory
- Documentarily confirm the validity of certain volumes of pollutant emissions in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Ukraine
- Assess the impact of pollutant emissions and the state of atmospheric air on sanitary protection zones defined by law and the relevant ministry
- In order for the public to be able to familiarize themselves with the issue of obtaining a permit, it is necessary to prepare appropriate information for them
- Prepared documents must be sent to the body responsible for issuing permits
Cost and term of permit for emissions of pollutants into the air
The permit is issued free of charge for a minimum period of 7 years.
Its validity period directly depends on the group of affiliation of the enterprise that wants to obtain a permit:
- The first group includes enterprises that are on state registration and their equipment requires the use of environmentally friendly technologies. These facilities receive a permit for a period of 7 years.
- The second group includes such facilities that are on state registration and have production where it is necessary to use some of the best technologies and management methods. The permit for such facilities is issued for a period of 10 years.
- The third group includes facilities that are not included in the first and second groups. They are issued with an emission permit for an unlimited period.
Refusal to obtain permission
A business entity may be denied a permit for the following reasons:
- An incomplete package of documents was submitted
- The documents revealed data that do not correspond to reality or the requirements of the legislation
- The business entity received a negative conclusion regarding the assessment of the impact of emissions on the environment
