EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend various Regulations for the purpose of excluding pet cemeteries from the list of activities, installations and mobile plants to which the Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 apply, and so as to allow the Environment Agency to continue to regulate pet cemeteries under Part II of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994.

Regulation 2 makes a consequential amendment to the Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994.

Regulation 3 amends Section 5.2 of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 by removing pet cemeteries receiving 10 tonnes or less of waste in any day or with a total capacity of 25,000 tonnes or less from the list of activities to which the Regulations apply.

Regulation 4 makes consequential amendments to the Landfill (England and Wales) Regulations 2002.

Regulation 5 contains transitional provisions for licences and permits for existing pet cemeteries.

A full Regulatory Impact Assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from WM Licensing and Enforcement Unit, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Area 6D, Ergon House, Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2AL, and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website.
