Abstract

Relates to SI 2014/255, which: require certain material facilities (MFs) that separate out single stream waste materials from mixed waste materials of household or similar origin, to sample the quality of their input and output material streams and to make this information transparent; remove the requirement for waste businesses to have to secure planning permission for certain waste operations or mining waste operations before an environmental permit can be issued; make provision relating to the enforcement of Commission Regulation (EU) No 493/2012 laying down detailed rules for the calculation of efficiency levels for recycling waste batteries and accumulators; provide a registration scheme for low risk discharges to groundwater from some Ground Source Heating and Cooling systems, allowing such activities to be exempt from the need for a permit; simplify requirements on regulators in maintaining twin systems of public registers containing information connected with permit determinations; make a number of other more minor miscellaneous proposals to simplify permitting procedures for regulators (including service of notices, revisions of standard rules and variations of permits); clarify the position relating to the exercise of functions in relation to waste mobile plant; and make some corrections to errors arising from previous amendments transposing the industrial emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) in February 2013.
