Abstract

The purpose of this Directive is to provide for measures, procedures and guidance in order to prevent or reduce negative effects on the environment (particularly the pollution of surface water, groundwater, soil and air) and of the global environment (including the greenhouse effect) as well as any other risk to human health that might result from landfilling of waste. For the purposes of this Directive, “waste” shall mean any substance or object which is covered by Directive 75/442/EEC. On the other side, “landfill” means a waste disposal site for the deposit of the waste into land, including internal waste disposal sites and a permanent site which is used for temporary storage of waste. Each landfill shall be classified into one of the following classes: (1) landfill for hazardous waste; (2) landfill for non-hazardous waste; (3) landfill for inert waste. A permit is compulsory for the operation of a landfill. The permit may not be issued unless the conditions established by article 8 are fulfilled. Article 3 defines the application scope of these provisions. Article 5 requires Member States to set up their own national strategies for the implementation of the reduction of biodegradable waste going to landfills. Further, Member States must ensure that certain wastes, such as liquid waste, are not accepted in a landfill. The following three Annexes are attached: (I) General requirements for all classes of landfills; (II) Waste acceptance criteria and procedures; (III) Control and monitoring procedures in operation and after-case phases.
