These Regulations make amendments to section 57 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (power of Secretary of State to require waste to be accepted, treated, disposed of or delivered) to extend existing powers to require holders of waste management licences to accept, keep or dispose of waste to waste operators holding other types of environmental permit. A direction may only be given for the purpose of protecting the environment or human health.
