Abstract

These Regulations amend the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 to allow the regulator (the Environment Agency in relation to England, the Natural Resources Body for Wales in relation to Wales and local authorities in both countries) to serve a suspension notice where it considers that there has been a contravention of an environmental permit condition and such contravention involves a risk of pollution. It also allows the regulator to require the operator to put up a sign to make clear to the public that no further waste of a specified description may be accepted at that facility. The Regulator may also arrange for steps to be taken to remove the risk of serious pollution which arises as a result of the operation of a regulated facility or an exempt facility and may make an application to the High Court whether or not it has taken other steps to secure compliance with an enforcement notice or other specified type of notice.
