D. INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT

32001 L 0080: Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants (OJ L 309, 27.11.2001, p. 1).

By way of derogation from Article 4(3) and part A of Annexes III and VII of Directive 2001/80/EC, the emission limit values for sulphur dioxide and dust shall not apply in Estonia:

- until 31 December 2010 for the combustion plant at Ahtme,

- until 31 December 2015 for the combustion plants at Narva (Eesti and Balti) and Kohtla Järve. However, at Narva (Eesti and Balti) 4 boilers shall be in compliance with the Directive by 31 December 2004 and a further 4 boilers by 31 December 2010. By 1 January 2008, all boilers of type "TP-17" of the Balti power plant shall be closed.

During the transitional period, these plants shall achieve a minimum rate of desulphurisation of 65 % and the emission limit values for dust shall not exceed 200mg/Nm3.

By 1 January 2008, Estonia shall present to the Commission a plan, including an investment plan, for gradual alignment of the remaining non-compliant boilers at Narva (Eesti and Balti) and at Kohtla Järve for the period between 2010 and 2015.

Estonia shall make all efforts to ensure that in 2012 sulphur dioxide emissions from oil shale fired combustion plants do not exceed 25000 tonnes and progressively decrease thereafter.
