(2)The taxable disposal is to be treated as being made when the specified landfill site activity is first carried out in relation to the material.

(3)The following are specified landfill site activities when carried out at an authorised landfill site—

(a)using material to create or maintain a temporary road giving access to a landfill disposal area;

(b)using material to create or maintain a temporary hard standing;

(c)using material to create or maintain a cell bund;

(d)using material (other than naturally occurring material extracted from the site) to create or maintain a temporary screening bund;

(e)using material to cover a landfill disposal area during a temporary cessation in landfill disposals;

(f)placing material in a landfill disposal area to provide a base for, or prevent damage to, anything used to line, cap or drain that area;

(g)keeping material in a non-disposal area beyond the end of the maximum period specified in the notice designating the area under section 55, unless the material is dealt with in accordance with an agreement under section 56(4)(a);

(h)storing ashes (for example, fly ash and bottom ash);
