(a)for paragraph 1 substitute—
“1.—(1) This Schedule applies until 7th January 2014 in relation to every existing installation that is a waste incineration plant or waste co-incineration plant except those treating only the waste mentioned in Article 42(2)(a)(i) and (iii) of the Industrial Emissions Directive.
(2) This Schedule ceases to apply on 7th January 2014.”;
(b)omit paragraph 2(1) and (2)(a) and (b).
(2) After Schedule 13 to the principal Regulations, insert—
Regulation 35(2)(g)
1.—(1) This Schedule applies in relation to—
(a)every small waste incineration plant, and
(b)every new waste incineration plant or new waste co-incineration plant,
to which Chapter IV of the Industrial Emissions Directive applies, except those which are operated as a domestic activity in connection with a private dwelling.
(2) It applies from 7th January 2014 in relation to every existing installation that is a waste incineration plant or waste co-incineration plant and to which Chapter IV of the Industrial Emissions Directive applies, except those which are operated as a domestic activity in connection with a private dwelling.
2.—(1) In this Schedule “new waste incineration plant” or “new waste co-incineration plant” means a waste incineration plant or co-incineration plant which is not an existing installation.
(2) When interpreting Chapter IV of the Industrial Emissions Directive for the purposes of this Schedule—
(a)an expression that is defined in Part 1 of these Regulations has the meaning given in that Part;
(b)the competent authority is the regulator;
(c)“permit” means environmental permit;
(d)“general binding rule” means a standard rule published under regulation 26.
3. The regulator must ensure that every application for the grant of an environmental permit includes the information specified in Article 44 of the Industrial Emissions Directive.
4.—(1) The regulator must exercise its relevant functions so as to ensure compliance with the following provisions of the Industrial Emissions Directive—
(a)Article 5(1) and (3);
(b)Article 7;
(c)Article 8(2);
(d)Article 9;
(e)Article 42(1)
(f)Article 43;
(g)Article 45(1), (2) and (4);
(h)Article 46;
(i)Article 47;
(j)Article 48(1) to (4);

(n)Article 52;
(o)Article 53;

(2) But when interpreting the Industrial Emissions Directive for the purposes of this Schedule—
(a)in Article 51(1) ignore the words “Member states may lay down rules governing these authorisations”;
(b)paragraph 2.1(c) of Part 6 of Annex VI is to be read as if the words “and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons” appeared after the word “furans”, but only in the case of particular plants where the regulator can demonstrate that emissions of those additional substances are, or are likely to be, significant.”.
