Environmental Protection Act 1990 – Duty of Care (replaced by the Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations 1991) Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2003 Hazardous Waste Regulations (England and Wales) 2005 (as amended 2009) Special Waste (Scotland) Regulations 1997 (as amended) has been superseded by the Special Waste Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2004. The Waste Batteries (Scotland) Regulations 2009 Under the regulations: Flyndre and Cawdor Environmental Statement Appendix A - Register of Environmental Legislation All wastes to be segregated and stored and returned to shore for disposal. No garbage to be dumped overboard from an installation (including incinerator ashes from plastics as they may contain toxic or heavy metal residues). Food waste can be discharged only if ground to less than 25mm particle size. Installation must have a garbage management plan and suitable labelling and notices displayed. Regulator: EA and SEPA Duty of Care requires correct segregation, identification and disposal of wastes. Regulator: EA and SEPA Under these Regulations waste transfer notes (for general waste) and Waste Consignment Notes (for waste designated ‘Special’ in Scotland or ‘Hazardous’ in England and Wales) are to be used for hazardous wastes. In addition, the regulatory authorities need to be notified regarding the disposal of hazardous or special waste. Regulator: SEPA The Waste Batteries (Scotland) Regulations amends the Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2000/323 to ban incinerating waste industrial and automotive batteries and amends the Landfill (Scotland) Regulations 2003/235 to ban waste industrial and vehicle batteries from landfills. Rock dumping etc Petroleum Act 1998 Regulators: DECC supported by Marine Scotland and CEFAS and within territorial waters Marine Scotland or DEFRA Deposit of Materials Consent (DepCon) is required for the deposit of materials e.g. rock dumping or mattresses. This forms part of the Pipeline Works Authorisation (PWA) application process. A licence under the MCAA is required in cases where not covered by a PWA, for example: Pipeline crossing preparations or other works before a PWA or related Direction is in place Installation of certain types of cable, e.g. communications cables A ‐ 24 D/4114/2011
Flyndre and Cawdor Environmental Statement Appendix A - Register of Environmental Legislation Decommissioning Issue Legislation Regulator and Requirements Chemical use and discharge Preliminary discussions Decommissioning proposals Offshore Chemicals Regulations 2002 (as amended 2011) (as amended by the Energy Act 2009 (Consequential Modifications) (Offshore Environmental Protection) Order 2010) PON 15e Petroleum Act 1998 (as amended by the Energy Act 2008 and in accordance with OSPAR Decision 98/3 ) IMO Guidelines and Standards for the removal of offshore installations and structures on the continental shelf 1989 DECC Guidance note for Industry Decommissioning of Offshore Installations and Pipelines 2009 Regulator: DECC Under these Regulations, permits to use and discharge chemicals, including decommissioning chemicals, need to be obtained. Types of permit required for the operations would be a PON15e for use and discharges of chemicals during decommissioning. The permits are applied for using the application form found at https://www.og.decc.gov.uk/regulation/pons/index.htm and emailed to Environmental Management Team at DECC. The application requires a description of the work carried out, a site specific environmental impact assessment and a list of all the chemicals intended for use and/or discharge, along with a risk assessment for the environmental effect of the discharge of chemicals into the sea. The permit obtained may include conditions. Permits now extend to operational and non‐operational emissions of chemicals under the 2011 amendments and to carbon sequestration activities under the Energy Act 2009 (Consequential Modifications) (Offshore Environmental Protection) Order 2010. Regulator: DECC OSPAR Decision 98/3 concerns the decommissioning of installations. It requires that decommissioning will normally remove the whole of an installation, although there are some exceptions for large structures. However, currently, there are no international guidelines for the decommissioning of pipelines. Under the terms of the OSPAR Decision 98/3 there is a prohibition on dumping and leaving wholly or partly, in place of offshore installations. All installations installed post 1999 should be removed entirely. For those installed pre 1999 the topsides must be returned to shore and all installations with a jacket weight of less than 10,000 tonnes completely removed for re‐use, recycling or final disposal on land with installations of greater than 10,000 tonnes being considered on an individual basis with the base case being that they will be removed entirely. The Petroleum Act 1998 sets out requirements for undertaking decommissioning of offshore installations and pipelines including preparation and submission of a Decommissioning Programme. Decommissioning proposals for pipelines should be contained with a separate Decommissioning Programme from that of installations. However, programmes for both pipelines and installations in the same field may be submitted in one document. Part III of the Energy Act 2008 amends Part 4 of the Petroleum Act 1998 and contains provisions to enable the Secretary of State to make all relevant parties liable for the decommissioning of an installation or pipeline; provide powers to require decommissioning security at any time during the life of the installation and powers to protect the funds put aside for decommissioning in case of insolvency of the relevant party. The Petroleum Act 1998 as amended stipulated that a decommissioning programme needs to be prepared and agreed with DECC. The main stages of the decommissioning process are: Stage 1 ‐ Preliminary discussions with DECC D/4114/2011 A ‐ 25
