The Waste Management Licensing (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2004

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994 (“the 1994 Regulations”) in relation to Wales.

Regulation 10 of the 1994 Regulations prescribes the particulars which each waste regulation authority must enter in the public register which it maintains under section 64(1) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Regulation 3 of these Regulations adds to those particulars a further category, namely the scores which result from any risk appraisal for a site to which a waste management licence relates.

Regulation 12 of the 1994 Regulations prescribes descriptions of plant which are to be treated as being mobile plant for the purposes of Part II of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Regulation 4 of these Regulations amends the description of the plant prescribed in regulation 12(1)(d) of the 1994 Regulations and adds the following descriptions:

(a) plant for the dewatering of muds, sludges, soils and dredgings;

(b) plant for the treatment of sludge by lime stabilisation; and

(c) plant for the treatment of contaminated material, substances or products, for the purpose of remedial action with respect to land or controlled waters.
