# The Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2007, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 (“the 2000 Regulations”).
Regulation 2 amends Part A(1) of Section 1.1 (combustion activities) of Part 1 of Schedule 1 by excluding waste gases produced by biological degradation in a landfill that does not require a permit under the 2000 Regulations from the definition of fuel in paragraph (b)(iii). A landfill gas engine appliance with a rated thermal input of 3 megawatts or more, but less than 50 megawatts, which burns such fuel will not require a permit under the 2000 Regulations.
A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available at www.defra.gov.uk/environment/ppc/policy.htm, and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website.
