Maximum allowable emissions per pollutant (NOx, PM, SO2, VOC, etc.). ELVs set in permit based on Best Available Techniques (BAT). Compliance verified via monitoring and reporting. Exceedances trigger enforcement action.
What is Best Available Techniques (BAT)?+
Technology/techniques minimizing emissions while balancing costs/benefits. Defined in BAT Reference Documents (BREFs) per sector. Updated periodically. Installations must apply BAT or equivalent techniques within transition timelines.
What monitoring and reporting requirements apply?+
Continuous monitoring of key emissions. Annual Emissions Report submitted to authorities. Monthly/quarterly monitoring of specific parameters. Records retained 5 years minimum. Non-compliance reported to authorities and may trigger enforcement.
