Designation and Exemption of Wastes section lists the wastes that are designated as subject to the regulation and the wastes that are exempted from the regulation or from certain parts of it. It also specifies the conditions and criteria for the designation and exemption of wastes. Waste Disposal Sites and Waste Management Systems outlines the requirements for obtaining and complying with environmental compliance approvals for waste disposal sites and waste management systems; it also sets out the standards and specifications for different types of waste disposal sites and waste management systems, such as landfilling sites, composting facilities, on-site thermal treatment equipment and woodwaste combustor sites. Waste generation facilities are facilities where subject waste is produced, collected, handled or stored.
