E-PRTR: Point of view and questions of the extractive sector about the
Guidance Document

European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register
European Pollutant Emission Register familiar to cement and lime producers but new to quarries
2007 first year of monitoring for quarries
First reporting: January 2008
Collaboration Walloon Region Authorities with FORTEA to clarify some items related to PRTR declaration

E-PRTR Annex I includes at Opencast mining and quarrying where the surface of the area under extractive operations equals 25 ha.
Guidance document clarify this surface

How to monitor releases into air?

E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD JmV 20070612
Release to air
Method suggested: Measurement if single point of emission Calculation for diffuse emissions (majority of case)
- Process description with emissions sources

Release to air
Background
Quarry specific issues
Next actions
Emission = Activity Data * Emission Factor * Attenuation factor (E=AD*EF*AF)
E= emission to air to report AD = activity data measures the activity of the facility
e.g.– For PM10, quantity of product processed per year– For other pollutant: annual fuel consumption or
annual working time EF = emission factors as listed in approved reference
list AD = attenuation factor as listed in approved reference
list e.g.– Use of water spray during production decrease the
amount of PM10 emitted.

Source: process.
Use EF in g/t produced e.g. AP42 from US EPA or other approved reference
Sources: engines (dumper, loader), heating device, ...
Use EF given by the constructor in g/working hour or g/l of fuel
13
E-PRTR FORTEA + MRW:DGRNE + ICEDD JmV 20070612
Release to water
Method suggested: Sampling of releases
of waste water and analysis of pollutants content. Compute annual load by multiplying analysis results by annual flow.
- Describe hydro-geological conditions and water flows to qualify dewatering outlet water
