on Air Pollution Control
(OAPC)

¹ If it is es­tab­lished that an in­di­vidu­al ex­ist­ing in­stall­a­tion is caus­ing ex­cess­ive am­bi­ent air pol­lu­tion levels even if the pre­vent­ive emis­sion lim­it­a­tion re­quire­ments are com­plied with, the au­thor­it­ies shall or­der ad­di­tion­al or stricter emis­sion lim­it­a­tion re­quire­ments for the in­stall­a­tion con­cerned.

² The emis­sion lim­it­a­tion re­quire­ments are to be sup­ple­men­ted or tightened to such an ex­tent that ex­cess­ive am­bi­ent air pol­lu­tion levels are no longer caused.

³ The ad­di­tion­al or stricter emis­sion lim­it­a­tion re­quire­ments are to be im­posed by means of ret­ro­fit­ting rul­ings with time lim­its set in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 10, para­graph 2. If ne­ces­sary, the au­thor­it­ies shall or­der op­er­at­ing re­stric­tions or the shut­down of the in­stall­a­tion for the dur­a­tion of the ret­ro­fit­ting work.

⁴ If ex­cess­ive am­bi­ent air pol­lu­tion levels are caused by more than one in­stall­a­tion, the pro­ced­ure spe­cified in Art­icles 31–34 shall be fol­lowed.
