Procedure on granting an integrated permit EIA receiving of the application to check all prescribed requirements disclosure of the application to the public statement of participation of other authorities discussing the objections final decision on the application

Permitting procedure - Preparing an application of the integrated permit from a company Summary of environmental aspects Selection of important aspects and setting the final values of indicators Analysis of production processes from the point of view of raw material and energy flows Draft of possible solutions to prevent the origins of waste production and the sources pollution (BAT) Evaluation of possibilities and suggestion of integrated solution in production technologies Draft of end technologies in a case of prevention of the sources pollution wasn´t achieved Draft of the whole solution and the description of the emission monitoring

Permitting Procedure - Granting the Integrated permit The company submits the application Disclosure of information about submission of the application Evaluation of the suggested measures Preparation of decision and discussion with the operator of the installation about permission requirements and about the best solution Disclose the decision draft Comments from the public Granting the integrated permit, which includes justification of public comments

Ministry of Agriculture  shall, within its competence, evaluate application of the best available techniques  6.4 a) Slaughterhouses with a car case production capacity greater than 50 tonnes per day b) Treatment and processing installations intended for the production of food or feed products c) Treatment and processing installations for milk with received quantity of milk exceeding 200 tonnes per day 6.5.Installations for the disposal or recycling of animal car cases and animal waste with a treatment capacity exceeding 10 tonnes per day 6.6.Installations for intensive rearing of poultry or pigs

Regions make decisions on application for an integrated permit with the exception of installations whose operation could significantly detrimentally affect environment of an affected state - these decisions makes the MoE carry out control of an integrated permit or operation of an installation impose fines request the operator of an installation to submit an application for granting an integrated permit evaluate application of the best available techniques and submit information on their development to the relevant administrative authorities

Regional Hygiene Officer in procedures on granting an integrated permit, the officer shall lay down the binding conditions for operation of a source of noise or vibrations if the hygiene limits cannot be met from the standpoint of protection of the public health, the officer shall check the integrated permit or operation of the installation the hygiene officer shall limit or terminate the operation of an installation or its part, if further its operation would or could cause serious damage to human health the officer shall impose fines

Participants in the Procedure the operator of the installation the municipality, in whose territory the installation is or is to be located the region, in whose territory the installation is or to be located - civic associations -public benefit societies -federations of employers or chamber of commerce -municipalities

Participation of the Authorized person statement on application by other Authorised person by the Agency of Integrated Prevention within 5 days within 75 days disclosure for a period of 30 days

Oral Discussion of the Application Decision on the Application - within 45 days - prolongation: 45 days

Application for granting an Integrated Permit identification of operator of an installation description of the installation and related activities description of raw materials and preparations, related materials and energy emission sources from the installation characterization of the place where the installation should be located description of emissions amount from the installation in water, air, soil description of technologies which prevent the emission formation and reduce them description of measures that prevent waste production or serve to the use of waste produced by installation localization and types of emission monitoring is needed characterization of measuring instruments + supplements

Pilot project system  preparation of Regions for the Integrated Permit granting according to the IPPC directive requirements  to prepare workshops for the clerks from the Regions who are responsible for issuing permits  to create a flexible system of BREF documents and other BAT sources  to support MoE in establishing and of to educate personal about related issues  to support the Czech working group in monitoring  to prepare documents
