Air Emissions Licence

Industrial plants that release emissions into the atmosphere such as bitumen plants and small scale thermal plants must apply to the local authority for a licence.

Local Authorities are empowered under the Air Pollution Acts (Licensing of Industrial Plant) Regulations 1988 (http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1988/en/si/0266.html) to license certain classes of activities which may give rise to air emissions. Activities qualifying for an Air Emissions License are listed in Schedule 3 of the Air Pollution Act 1987 and it is the responsibility of Carlow County Council to control and condition such activities.
