Licence conditions for pollution studies and reduction programs

Summary
 
Licence number: 1698
Title: EIP: Investigation of new Chlorine and Sulphuric Acid Mist Limits - LDP 2 - Kiln 6 Stack
Start date: 31 Jan 2017
 
Licence Condition
Background: When using non-standard fuels, the LDP2 limit for Chlorine was 200mg/m3 and the limit for Sulphuric Acid Mist was 100 mg/m3 in the previous version of Environment Protection Licence 1698. Following The Department of Environment and Planning (DPE) issuing approval for Modification 9 (Mod9) - Use of Waste Derived Fuels in Kiln 6 - the EPA reviewed this licence and modified monitoring, limit and operational requirements to be consistent with the consent and application documents submitted by the licensee. The new limits attached to this licence for both Chlorine and Sulphuric Acid mist are 50mg/m3. Based on modelling these limits will achieve appropriate ground level impact assessment criteria. The licensee has stated these limits are achievable, however they are based on a very small data set, and it is possible that the licensee will be able to achieve lower limits.
Undertaking: The licensee must undertake stack testing as required by the monitoring requirements of this licence over a 12 month period (4 quarterly stack tests) from the date of commencement of the use of Non-Standard Fuels in Kiln 6.  The licensee must review the monitoring data obtained during the period and prepare a written report to the EPA recommending Chlorine and Sulphuric Acid Mist concentration limits. The recommended limits must consider data obtained from stack testing, and the requirements of S124 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act (1997), in particular demonstrating Kiln 6 is being operated properly and efficiently. DUE DATE: 3 Months from the date of the fourth quarterly stack test while burning Non-Standard Fuels in Kiln 6.
