4. The competent authority shall consider the impact on the environment and human health when granting a permit or registering the medium combustion plant within one month following the notification by the operator. The competent authority shall evaluate the information listed in Annex I and assess the compatibility of the operation conditions proposed under paragraph 3 with the following: a) compliance with ambient air quality concentrations of 10 μg/m3 (annual mean) for PM2.5, 40 μg/m3 (annual mean) for NO2, 20 μg/m3 (24-hour mean) for SO2 in the air quality zone where the plant is located; b) compliance with critical loads and levels for the protection of ecosystems. The competent authority may require the operator to provide further evidence for the purpose of the assessment and shall inform the operator thereof.
