The Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) board on Friday unanimously approved the renewal of the anti-pollution permit for the thermal treatment facility in Marsa operated by WasteServ Malta Ltd.
In a statement, the authority said the application was approved during a public meeting following a process that included consultation with a number of statutory consultees as well as a public consultation.
The Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control permit, originally issued in 2007 is for WasteServ to operate its incinerator for the incineration of abattoir, clinical, hazardous and non-hazardous waste from the Civil Abattoir in Marsa.
ERA said the IPPC permit covers the continued operations of the installation at Marsa whose main activity involves the incineration of animal by-products and hazardous waste.
