1. Atmosphere and Local Environment Experiences of implementation in ‘older’ Member States

2. Atmosphere and Local Environment Summary  UK legislation in 1990s  implementation in the UK  UK guidance-led approach  successes  challenges  next steps

3. Atmosphere and Local Environment 1990s  1990 legislation  compliant coatings  cleaner technology rather than end-of-pipe  some technology forcing

4. Atmosphere and Local Environment SED – differences from UK law  a few extra sectors – notably dry cleaners  solvent reduction plan  some differences in standards

5. Atmosphere and Local Environment A high street dry cleaning shop

6. Atmosphere and Local Environment UK approach (1)  2,500 SED installations  plus 3,500 dry cleaners  350 local authorities  permits  enforcement (suspension, enforcement and suspension notices; prosecution: fines, imprisonment + clean-up; High Court referral)

7. Atmosphere and Local Environment UK approach (2)  Legislation requires SED compliance +  guidance on BAT  also procedural guidance  introductory seminars

8. Atmosphere and Local Environment Guidance (1)  20+ guidance notes  SED requirements highlighted  BAT covers other pollutants :  particulates from abatement and coatings  CO + NOx from oxidation plant  SO2 from fuel  odour  produced in partnership with stakeholders

15. Atmosphere and Local Environment Guidance (4)  Content of guidance:  timetable for compliance  process description  ELVs, solvent management, monitoring, etc  control techniques  definitions  extracts from SED

16. Atmosphere and Local Environment Guidance (5)  procedural guidance covers eg:  summary of key SED provisions  how to use the technical guidance notes  enforcement options  Interpretation of terms – “shortest possible time” etc  other matters, eg how to deal with coatings with a short lifespan  Q+A from seminars

17. Atmosphere and Local Environment Successes  guidance-led approach  on-going support helpline  engagement/partnership with stakeholders  links with business benefits  compliance with few derogations needed

18. Atmosphere and Local Environment Envirowise (Wrap) – business benefits

19. Atmosphere and Local Environment Challenges  350 local authorities  3,500 dry cleaners  minimising bureaucracy  complexity of directive  proportionality  interface with Paint Products Directive  risk phrase: nPropyl Bromide

20. Atmosphere and Local Environment Next steps: things to consider  VOC abatement v. CO 2 http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/quality/poll ution/ppc/localauth/pubs/guidance/index.htm http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/quality/poll ution/ppc/localauth/pubs/guidance/index.htm  closed-loop degreasers  flexibility (ELV, reduction, mass emission limit)  health and safety interface  Low volatility VOCs (acetone, siloxane....)  Type approval
