Call for Evidence : ​Non Waste Anaerobic Digestion over 100 tonnes per day: Permit technical requirements ​

Closes 9 Jan 2026

BAT 4

In order to reduce the environmental risk associated with the storage of waste, BAT is to use all of the techniques given below.

For each parameter below, confirm the measurements in place for your particular activity, the equipment used and where these measurements are undertaken. 

 

i. Optimised storage location

This includes techniques such as :
- the storage is located as far as technically and economically possible from senstive watercourses etc;
-the storage is located insuch a way so as to eliminate or minimise the unessary handling of wastes within the plant (eg. the same wastes are handled twice or more or the transport disctances on site are unnescessarily long).

Compliance Status:

Please provide information relating to feedstock storage. Include link or reference to supporting documentation.  If the BAT Conclusion is not applicable, explain why. 

Upload any supporting information. Please include the Permit number and installation name in the header.

ii. Adequate Storage Capacity

Measures are taken to avoid accumulation of waste, such as:
- the maximum waste storage capacity is clearly established and not exceeded taking into account the characteristics of the wastes (e.g. regarding the risk of fire) and the treatment capacity;
- the quantity of waste stored is regularly monitored against the maximum allowed storage capacity;
- the maximum residence time of waste is clearly established.

Compliance Status:

Please provide information relating to feedstock storage. Include link or reference to supporting documentation.  If the BAT Conclusion is not applicable, explain why. 

Upload any supporting information. Please include the Permit number and installation name in the header.

iii. Safe storage operation

Compliance Status:

This includes measures such as:
-equipment used for loading, unloading and storing waste is clearly documented and labelled;
- wastes known to be sensitve to heat, light, air, water etc are protected from such ambient conditions;
- containers and drums are fit for purpose and stored securely

Please provide information relating to feedstock storage. Include link or reference to supporting documentation.  If the BAT Conclusion is not applicable, explain why. 

Upload any supporting information. Please include the Permit number and installation name in the header.
