Is oil storage at sites regulated under Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) or Pollution Prevention & Control (PPC) regimes covered by the regulations?
The Water Environment (Oil Storage) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 exempt storage of oil in any installation which is a Schedule 1 Part A Activity of the Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2000, or a Schedule 1 Part A process of the Environment Protection (Prescribed Processes and Substances) Regulations 1991 and where oil is stored in accordance with the authorisation or permit. However Best Available Techniques not Entailing Excessive Cost (BATNEEC) and Best Available Techniques (BAT) must be applied at these sites. The regulations may be considered the reference point for BAT or BATNEEC for where no Best Available Techniques Reference Document (BREF) note is available to identify BAT, or no Guidance Note to identify BATNEEC.
