Amendment
These Regulations directly amend the Waste Management (Facility Permit and Registration) Regulations 2007 by increasing the total maximum quantity of waste which may be recovered in a Class 5 activity* from 100,000 tonnes to 200,000 tonnes, subsequent to a successful application for a waste facility permit.
*A Class 5 activity according to Schedule 3, Part 1 in the 2007 Regulations is: €œrecovery of excavation or dredge spoil, comprising natural materials of clay, silt, sand, gravel or stone and which comes within the meaning of inert waste, through deposition for the purposes of the improvement or development of land. Occurring where the total quantity of waste recovered at the facility is less than 200,000 tonnes.€
These Regulations require a new application for a waste facility permit to be put forward in accordance with Articles 7, 8, 9, and 10 when a Class 5 activity is planned, rather than putting an application forward for a review of an existing waste facility permit.
