several installations or parts thereof), including the combustion plant, waste incineration plant
and/or waste co-incineration plant must hold a permit.

11. A permit may be issued for one or a part of an installation or several installations of the
same operator or parts thereof located in the same location (on a plot, in adjacent plots, or in plots
separated by the engineering infrastructure only).A permit issued for two or more installations or
parts thereof shall specify the conditions necessary to ensure that each installation or part thereof
complies with the requirements of the Rules. Where a permit is issued for a part of an installation
or parts of several installations, the permit shall include the name(s) of the entire installation or
several installations, its/their design capacity, part of the installation (or parts of installations) for
which the permit and its/their design capacity are issued. Where several operators operate or
manage an installation (part of it, several installations or parts thereof) on ownership, lease,
lending, trust or other legal basis, the submission of documents to the operators confirming or
proving the rights and division of responsibility between operators may be subject to a single
permit (or revised with reference to several operators, if previously granted to a single operator),
specifying the details of the operators and the sharing of responsibility.

49. Set emission limit values in the AAA permit for a new installation and for a substantial
modification of an installation which ensure that, under normal operating conditions, emissions
do not exceed those applied in accordance with BAT as specified in the approved BAT
conclusions in one of the following ways:
49.1. by setting emission limit values below the emission limits set in BAT. The emission
limit values are set for the same or shorter period and under the same specified conditions as the
23

emission levels set out in BAT;


49.2. by setting numerical expressions, periods and conditions of emission limit values
other than those specified in paragraph 49.1 of the Regulations. In this case, the AAA must assess
the results of emission monitoring/monitoring at least once a year in order to ensure that under
normal operating conditions emissions do not exceed the emissions set out in BAT.

50. When amending the permit, setting emission limit values in accordance with point 49 of

emissions specified in the approved BAT conclusions.

51. If the environmental quality standards do not require stricter conditions than those
achieved by applying BAT, taking into account local conditions, dispersion of pollutants and
other circumstances associated with permit conditions, AAAs are entitled to set less stringent
emission limit values at the request of the operator and upon submission of cost-benefit and cost
assessment documents for possible solutions (technical or other).If the AAA does not have
sufficient expertise, the AAA shall have the right, in accordance with the procedure laid down in
the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Public Procurement, to involve consultants for the
examination, evaluation and conclusion of these documents. The exemption referred to in this
point may be granted only where an economic assessment of the benefits and costs of possible
solutions and the results thereof confirm that the determination of emissions in accordance with
BAT, as described in the BAT conclusions, would result in disproportionately high costs
compared to the environmental benefits due to:

add the grounds for exemption in the AAA permit, including the results of the assessment
referred to in point 51 and the justification for the conditions of the authorisation.
54. When the emission limit values are set in accordance with paragraph 51, they shall not
exceed the emission limit values set out in the acts listed in paragraphs 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.5 of the
Regulations.
55. Where the environmental quality standards do not require stricter conditions than those
achieved by applying BAT, the emission limit values and equivalent parameters and technical
measures referred to in points 59 and 65 of the Rules shall be based on BAT without any single
technique or specific technology being identified.
24

56. The efficiency of a waste water treatment plant may be taken into account when setting
limit values for indirect discharges into water of the installation concerned, provided that a
uniform level of environmental protection is ensured and provided that this does not lead to
higher environmental pollution.
57. Emission/emission limit values shall be set at the point where the pollutants are
emitted/discharged from the installation; their dispersion (concentration) to the point of
release/discharge is not taken into account, i.e. there are no requirements for the concentration of
pollutants up to the point of emissions/discharge.
58. In the case of testing and introduction of new production methods, AAAs shall be
entitled, upon request and upon presentation by the operator, of evidence that compliance with
the requirements set out in points 49 and 55 of the Rules would entail disproportionate costs in
relation to the environmental benefits, to grant temporary exemptions from the requirements of
points 49 and 55 of the Rules and to derogate from the principles set out in point 17.2 of the
Regulations for a period not exceeding nine months if, after the specified period, the method of
production is terminated or the emissions from activities do not exceed the emission levels set out
in point 17.2 of the Regulations.

59. Emission/emission limit values based on the characteristics of the pollutants and the
likelihood of their transfer from one medium to another may be supplemented or replaced by
equivalent parameters or technical measures ensuring the same level of environmental protection.
60. When an AAA sets permit conditions on the basis of BAT, which is not described in the
relevant BAT conclusions, it shall ensure that:
60.1. that method of production is determined taking into account the criteria set out in
Annex 2 to the Regulations;
60.2. the requirements of paragraphs 49, 51 to 56 and 58 of the Rules are met.
61. Where the BAT conclusions do not refer to BAT-associated emission/emission levels,

operation of the installation, before the commencement of operation of the installation or prior to
the first amendment of the permit in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations, submit
a report on the environmental pollution thereof (hereinafter referred to the requirements of the
Regulation on Environmental Pollution) and, in compliance with the requirements of the
Regulation on Environmental Pollution, an operator must, in compliance with the requirements of

shall carry out a preliminary ecogeological investigation at the time of final cessation and, if
necessary, take the necessary steps to eliminate, control, limit or reduce the presence of
hazardous substances so that the site of operation, taking into account its current or future
approved use, does not pose a significant risk to human health or the environment as a result of
