  1. E-PRTR: Point of view and questions of the extractive sector about the Guidance Document FORTEA + MRW: DGRNE + ICEDD

  2. European Pollutant Emission Register familiar to cement and lime producers but new to quarries 2007 first year of monitoring for quarries First reporting: January 2008 Collaboration Walloon Region Authorities with FORTEA to clarify some items related to PRTR declaration European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Background Quarry specific issues Next actions E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  3. E-PRTR Annex I includes at Opencast mining and quarrying where the surface of the area under extractive operations equals 25 ha. Guidance document clarify this surface Area effectively under extractive operations Background Quarry specific issues Next actions E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  4. Reserves Under extractive operations Rehabilitated area Area effectively under extractive operations Background Quarry specific issues Next actions E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  5. Starts with: top soil stripping To be approved by competent authorities Ends with: rehabilitation according to permit Area effectively under extractive operations Background Quarry specific issues Next actions E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  6. Area effectively under extractive operations Background Quarry specific issues Next actions 1site, 4 installations, 4 operators, 1reporting E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  7. Area effectively under extractive operations Background Quarry specific issues Next actions 2 sites, 2 facilities, 2operators, 2 reporting E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  8. Area effectively under extractive operations Background Quarry specific issues Next actions 2 sites, 2 installations, 1 operator, 2 reporting E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  9. Release to air, water and land • No land released known Background Quarry specific issues Next actions • How to monitor releases into air? E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  10. Release to air • Method suggested: • Measurement if single point of emission • Calculation for diffuse emissions (majority of case) • Process description with emissions sources Background Quarry specific issues Next actions E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  11. Release to air • Emission = Activity Data * Emission Factor * Attenuation factor (E=AD*EF*AF) Background • E= emission to air to report • AD = activity data measures the activity of the facility e.g. • For PM10, quantity of product processed per year • For other pollutant: annual fuel consumption or annual working time • EF = emission factors as listed in approved reference list • AD = attenuation factor as listed in approved reference list e.g. • Use of water spray during production decrease the amount of PM10 emitted. Quarry specific issues Next actions E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  12. Sources: engines (dumper, loader), heating device, ... Use EF given by the constructor in g/working hour or g/l of fuel Release to air Background Quarry specific issues Source: process. Use EF in g/t produced e.g. AP42 from US EPA or other approved reference Next actions E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  13. Release to water • Method suggested: • Sampling of releases of waste water and analysis of pollutants content. Compute annual load by multiplying analysis results by annual flow. • Describe hydro-geological conditions and water flows to qualify dewatering outlet water Background Quarry specific issues Next actions E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  14. Release to water Don’t subtract background load Subtract background load Meteoric precipitation Background Surface water Perched water table Quarry specific issues Water flow River Water flow Water flow Aquifer Next actions Quarry E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  15. Not a specific issue for quarry Site transfers Background Quarry specific issues Next actions Mining Waste Directive doesn’t change the issue E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  16. E-PRTR for Quarries in a nutshell • Producer propose a technical file containing: • Site description with specification of the area under effective exploitation and operators • Facility description including flow-sheet and describing air emissions sources • Calculations principles: description of AD, EF and AF • Hydro geological scheme with water inlet and oulet releases description • Water pollutant sampling plan and annual flow measurement • List of off-site transfer wastes Background Quarry specific issues • Technical file submitted to competent authority for approval Next actions E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD

  17. Work programme • Complete guidance to the Guidance Document with Regions Administrations: • Acceptance of principles. • Choice of EF and AF for PM10 and other air pollutant • Diffusion of the document through FORTEA • Workshop with authorities and producers • Review of the document for 2009 declaration Background Quarry specific issues Next actions E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD
