Abstract

These Regulations make amendments to the Environmental Protection Act by inserting provisions conferring power on certain authorities in England to give notices offering a person the opportunity of discharging any liability to conviction for the offence of failing to comply with section 34(2A) of that Act (duty to take measures to secure that transfer of household waste is only to certain authorised persons). They also amend the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 in provisions relating to new conditions for environmental permits authorising certain waste operations, flood risk activities and radioactive substances activities.
