Appendix A - Register of <strong>Environmental</strong> Legislation<br />
- EC Regulation 307/2008<br />
The regulations now extend to carbon sequestration activities under the Energy Act 2008 (Consequential Modifications)<br />
(Offshore <strong>Environmental</strong> Protection) Order 2010.<br />
These regulations consolidate <strong>and</strong> replace EC Regulation 2037/2000 as amended by introducing tighter controls on the use/reuse of<br />
certain controlled substances.<br />
UK Statutory Instruments providing for EC Regulation 2037/2000 will continue to be in force until updated/amended for the new<br />
consolidated Regulation (see pending legislation).<br />
EC Regulation No 744/2010 extends the cut off date for the use of certain essential uses of halons in fire protection systems<br />

Model Clauses of Licences Regulator: DECC<br />
EC Directive 2000/60 (The Water Framework<br />
Directive) (as amended by EC Directive<br />
2009/31)<br />
Implemented in Engl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Wales by:<br />
The Water Environment (Water Framework<br />
Directive) (Engl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Wales) Regulations<br />
The <strong>Environmental</strong> Protection (Controls on Ozone Depleting Substances) Regulations 2002 (as amended) make provision in the UK for EC<br />
Regulation 2037/2000 (as amended by Regulation no. 1005/2009 <strong>and</strong> 744/2010) <strong>and</strong> provide for a system of measures <strong>and</strong> penalties to<br />
control (amongst others) the emission of certain substances (in particular halons) that deplete the ozone layer.<br />
Controls the emissions from refrigeration systems, air‐conditioning units, fire‐protection systems <strong>and</strong> heat pumps. Requires operators<br />
to:<br />
Maintain annual records<br />
Check relevant equipment annually for leakages of ODS<br />
Monitor <strong>and</strong> annually report (by 31 March each year) data to EEMS on all emissions of halons, CFCs (if applicable) <strong>and</strong> HCFCs from<br />
relevant equipment.<br />
Due to the recent amendments to the EC regulations, further amendments to the UK legislation are required (see pending legislations).<br />
The Model clauses are incorporated into the Production Licences <strong>and</strong> require a flare <strong>and</strong> venting consent to be granted by DECC. Annual<br />
flare consents must be obtained from DECC. During commissioning <strong>and</strong> start up flare consents for short durations can be issued until<br />
flaring levels have stabilised. Flaring requirements must not exceed installations’ flare consent.<br />
Regulator: SEPA <strong>and</strong> EA<br />
The Water Framework Directive’s ultimate objective is to achieve “good ecological <strong>and</strong> chemical status” for all Community waters by<br />
2015. Other objectives include:<br />
preventing <strong>and</strong> reducing pollution<br />
promoting sustainable water usage<br />
