dioxin and furans” means polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans.
“disposal” means any of the operations provided for in Annex IIA to Directive 2008/98/EC of the Waste Framework
Directive.
“emissions to land” includes emissions to groundwater.
“EP Regulations” means The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations SI 2010 No.675 and words and
expressions used in this permit which are also used in the Regulations have the same meanings as in those Regulations.
“emissions of substances not controlled by emission limits” means emissions of substances to air, water or land from the
activities, either from the emission points specified in schedule 3 or from other localised or diffuse sources, which are not
controlled by an emission limit
.
“groundwater” means all water, which is below the surface of the ground in the saturation zone and in direct contact with
the ground or subsoil.
“hazardous property” has the meaning given in Schedule 3 of the Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations
2005 No.894 and the Hazardous Waste (Wales) Regulations 2005 No. 1806 (W.138).
“incineration line” means all of the incineration equipment related to a common discharge to air location.
“Industrial Emissions Directive” means DIRECTIVE 2010/75/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE
COUNCIL of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions

Where a minimum limit is set for any emission parameter, for example pH, reference to exceeding the limit shall mean
that the parameter shall not be less than that limit.
Unless otherwise stated, any references in this permit to concentrations of substances in emissions into air means:
(a) in relation to emissions from non-combustion sources, the concentration at a temperature of 273K and at a
pressure of 101.3 kPa, with no correction for water vapour content.
(b) in relation to gases from incineration and co-incineration plants other than those burning waste oil, the
concentration in dry air at a temperature of 273K, at a pressure of 101.3 kPa and with an oxygen content of 11%
dry.
For dioxins/furans and dioxin-like PCBs the determination of the toxic equivalence concentration (I-TEQ, & WHO-TEQ for
dioxins/furans, WHO-TEQ for dioxin-like PCBs) stated as a release limit and/ or reporting requirement, the mass
concentrations of the following congeners have to be multiplied with their respective toxic equivalence factors before
summing. When reporting on measurements of dioxins/furans and dioxin-like PCBs, the toxic equivalence concentrations
should be reported as a range based on: all congeners less than the detection limit assumed to be zero as a minimum,
and all congeners less than the detection limit assumed to be at the detection limit as a maximum.
