Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Regulated zoning of the Technology Risk Prevention Plan (PPRT) for the company STOGAZ on the municipalities of LA MOTTE and ARCS-SUR-ARGENS (VAR)

Law No. 2003-699 of 30 July 2003 on the prevention of technological and natural hazards and the repair of damage introduced the Technological Risk Prevention Plan (PPRT). This plan covers all the high threshold SEVESO sites defined in the classification of installations classified for the environment. Article L.515-15 of the Environmental Code specifies the scope of application of PPRTs and their objective of: “Limit the effects of accidents likely to occur in installations listed in IV of section 515-8 and which may have an effect on public health, public health and safety directly or by pollution of the environment.” STOGAZ’s activity at LA MOTTE implies its classification as a high threshold SEVESO. As such, a PPRT was prescribed on 13 October 2010. It also affects the commune of Arcs-sur-Argens. The PPRT was approved by prefectural decree of 26 April 2013. Depending on the hazard level, each area is subject to an enforceable settlement. The Regulation distinguishes different types of zones: — the ‘dark red area R’ which corresponds to a very strong thermal hazard level ‘plus’ at Fort, and a level of pressure hazard Fort ‘plus’ to low-→ strict prohibition zone; — the ‘light red area r’, which corresponds to a low level of excess pressure hazard and a low thermal hazard level -→ prohibition zone; — the ‘dark blue zone B’, which corresponds to a low pressure hazard level -→ limited authorisation area; — the “grey area”, which corresponds to the land right of the facilities causing the risk of this PPRT.
