(ii) insert—
“The emission limit value for PCDDs and PCDFs is the average emission limit value of 0.1ng/Nm3 over a sampling period of a minimum of 6 hours and a maximum of 8 hours. The emission limit value refers to the total concentration of PCDDs and PCDFs.
To determine the total concentration of PCDDs and PCDFs, the mass concentration of a dibenzo-p-dioxin or dibenzofuran in the first column of the following Table is to be multiplied by the corresponding toxic equivalence factor in the second column before summing:

1,2,3,4,6,7,8 — Heptachlorodibenzofuran (HpCDF)
0.01
1,2,3,4,7,8,9 — Heptachlorodibenzofuran (HpCDF)
0.01
Octachlorodibenzofuran (OCDF)
0.001
”.
(3) In Part 2—
(a) in the first Table, in the fourth column, for point (2) substitute—
“(2) The provisions of the Landfill Regulations were respected.
(2A) In point (2), the “Landfill Regulations” means—
(a) in relation to England and Wales, the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016;
(b) in relation to Scotland, the Landfill (Scotland) Regulations 2003.”;
(b) in the endnotes after the first Table—
(i) omit endnotes (2), (4) and (5);
