Consequences of revocation of a storage permitS
This section has no associated Executive Note
11.—(1) This regulation applies where the authority has revoked a storage permit under regulation 10(7).
(2) The authority must either—
(a)close the storage site; or
(b)consider any application for a licence (and, if such a licence is granted, for a new storage permit) in respect of the storage site.
(3) Following the procedure under paragraph (2)(b)—
(a)if no new storage permit is granted, the authority must close the storage site (but the existing licence continues in force);
(b)if a new storage permit is granted, the existing licence terminates on the date of that grant.
(4) Until the storage site is closed, or the new storage permit is granted, the authority is deemed to be the operator of the site for the purposes of the following obligations—
(a)in relation to the acceptance and injection of CO2;
(b)in relation to monitoring;
(c)in relation to corrective measures;
(d)in relation to the surrender of allowances under the ETS Directive; and
(e)under Articles 5(1) and 6(1) of the Environmental Liability Directive.
(5) Where the storage site is closed under paragraph (2)(a) or (3)(a), the authority—
(a)is deemed to be the operator of the storage site for the purposes of the obligations referred to in paragraph (4)(b) to (e); and
(b)must ensure that the storage site is sealed and the injection facilities removed (but this is without prejudice to the obligations of any person under Part 4 (abandonment of offshore installations) of the Petroleum Act 1998 M1).
(6) The licence holder of the existing licence must pay to the authority any costs incurred in meeting the authority's obligations under paragraph (4) or (5); and section 24(6) and (7) applies to the recovery of such costs as it applies to the recovery of costs under section 24(5).
