ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT PROCESS ON EMISSIONS OF ASPHALT PLANT

Abstract

Asphalt plants are the facilities where in the
coating material on the roads, which vehicle traffic flows on it and is defined
as the main usage area in Turkey as well as all over the world and known as
asphalt by most people, was produced. Asphalt plants bring significant
environmental problems if necessary precautions are not taken during asphalt
production. The most important of these problems are the emissions of dust and
gas which are given to the atmosphere and cause air pollution. In Turkey,
a
number of legal arrangements have been made in order to prevent, reduce and
control the negative effects of activities and facilities which have a
polluting effect on the environment.
The
Environmental Permit and License Regulation is also one of these legal arrangements.
Article 11 of the Environmental Law No. 2872 contains the following provision:
“Facilities and enterprises, that are not considered appropriate to discharge
their wastes generated during production, consumption and service activities in
directly or indirectly to the receiving environment, and settlement units are
obliged to treat and dispose of their wastes in accordance with the standards
and methods determined in the regulations and to obtain the permits
envisaged". In this respect, the Environmental Permit and License
Regulation, which was prepared based on the Environment Law, was published in
the Official Gazette No. 29115 dated September 10, 2014 and entered into force
on November 1, 2014. In this
paper, it is examined the emissions permit process of the sector to be in
control and remain at a minimum level of the atmospheric pollutant impact
during operation of asphalt plant
which has a production capacity of 30 tons per
hour and works 8 hours per day,
 in
Turkey.
There are two types of emission sources: point and
area. The results of dust and gas measurements in emission sources are
evaluated within the scope of Control of Industrial Air Pollution Regulation.
Since the pollutant emissions do not exceed the limit values specified in the
regulation, the emission issue environmental permit can be given to the
facility.
