The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 2 of the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999[1], having, in accordance with subsection (4) of that section, consulted the Environment Agency, such bodies or persons appearing to him to be representative of the interests of local government, industry, agriculture and small businesses respectively as he considers appropriate and such other bodies and persons as he considers appropriate, hereby makes the following Regulations: Citation, commencement, cessation, interpretation and extent 1. - (1) These Regulations may be cited as the Pollution Prevention and Control (Foot-and-Mouth Disease) (Air Curtain Incinerators) (England and Wales) Regulations 2001 and shall come into force on 1st May 2001 and shall cease to have effect on 31st October 2001. (2) In these Regulations, unless the context otherwise requires -
(b) "carcase" includes parts of a carcase; (c) expressions used which are also used in the 2000 Regulations shall have the same meaning as in those Regulations. (3) These Regulations extend to England and
Wales only.
(b) for ensuring that the requirements of paragraph (3) are satisfied. (2) The animals referred to in paragraph (1)
are animals which -
(b) are slaughtered as a direct or indirect result of measures taken to deal with foot-and-mouth disease. (3) The requirements mentioned in paragraph
(1)(b) are that the plant is operated only if -
(b) transport of the animals (or their carcases) must be avoided because of risks to the health of humans or animals. (4) There is insufficient alternative suitable
capacity for disposal for the purposes of paragraph (3)(a)
if -
(b) in the case of all other animals, there is insufficient suitable capacity for disposal at rendering premises, incineration installations or landfills within a reasonable distance of the place of slaughter. (5) Notwithstanding any provision of the 2000
Regulations, the Environment Agency may at any time by notice in writing
served on the operator vary or revoke a permit granted pursuant to these
Regulations if it considers that it is appropriate to do so and in
exercising its functions under this paragraph the Agency shall take into
account any representations or objections made to it. (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations provide an expedited procedure for the grant by the Environment Agency of permits authorising the use of mobile air curtain incinerators for the incineration of carcases of animals slaughtered as a result of measures taken to deal with foot-and-mouth disease. The usual technical requirements set out in the Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 are relaxed, but any permit must impose conditions minimising pollution from the relevant plant. Permit conditions must confine the use of the plant to cases where -
(b) transport of animals or their carcases must be avoided because of risks to the health of humans or animals. The Environment Agency can at any time vary or revoke a permit granted
in respect of a mobile air curtain incinerator. When determining whether
it is appropriate to do so the Agency must take into account any
representations or objections made to it. Notes: [1] 1999 c. 24; the Secretary of State can exercise these powers only in relation to England and Wales - see section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46) and section 5(3) of the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999.back [2] S.I. 2000/1973, to which there are amendments not relevant to these Regulations.back
