Part 5 - Supplementary Provision
Chapter 4 – Penalties under this Act
Penalties relating to non-disposal areas
Section 68 - Penalties relating to non-disposal areas
137.This section provides that a landfill site operator who fails to comply with the terms of a notice designating a non-disposal area (as required by section 56) or who fails to keep and preserve records in relation to material deposited in the area (as required by section 57) will be liable to a penalty not exceeding £3000.
138.No penalty will be incurred in respect of a failure to keep or preserve records if the landfill site operator provides other evidence which proves to the satisfaction of WRA any facts that it reasonably requires to be proved.
139.Separate provision is made at section 8(2)(g) for cases in which material is kept in a non-disposal area for longer than permitted. In such a case, a taxable disposal will be deemed to have occurred and so the landfill site operator may be required to pay tax on the disposal, as well as being liable to a penalty under section 68.
