S.I. No. 524/2008 – Waste Management (Certification of Historic Unlicenced Waste Disposal and Recovery Activity) Regulations 2008

These Regulations provide for the certification of historic unlicenced waste disposal sites in operation between 1977 and 1996, when our modern waste legislation came into effect. The regulations will provide for the registration of these facilities by the local authorities, the carrying out of a screening risk assessment of the sites and the determination of any remedial measures required (all of which will be the responsibility of the relevant local authority). These facilities will require a certificate of authorisation from the EPA. This certificate will determine the adequacy of the risk assessment and may specify further necessary measures to ensure the protection of the environment.

The Regulations also make a number of minor amendments to waste legislation to correctly transpose certain aspects of the Landfill Directive and to remove an obsolete provision relating to the requirement for a waste permit.
