Hazardous Waste (Wales) Regulations 2005 (W.S.I. No. 1806 (W.138) of 2005). Country/Territory United Kingdom Territorial subdivision Wales Document type Regulation Date 2005 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Waste & hazardous substances Keyword Pollution control Hazardous substances Hazardous waste Waste disposal Waste management Transport/storage Data collection/reporting Inspection Offences/penalties Geographical area Atlantic Ocean Islands, Europe, Europe and Central Asia, North Atlantic, North Sea, North-East Atlantic, Northern Europe Abstract These Regulations set out the regime for the control and tracking of the movement of hazardous waste for the purpose of implementing the Hazardous Waste Directive (Directive 91/689/EC). The Waste Framework Directive (Directive 75/442/EEC) regulates, subject to the certain exclusions, the management of all types of waste ("Directive waste"). The Hazardous Waste Directive supplements the Waste Framework Directive by imposing additional requirements in relation to Directive waste which displays certain hazardous properties. These requirements have previously been transposed by the Special Waste Regulations 1996 through controls on "special waste". These Regulations repeal the Special Waste Regulations 1996 and replace the term "special waste" with "hazardous waste". Part 4 bans the mixing of hazardous waste unless it is permitted as part of a disposal or recovery operation in accordance with the Waste Framework Directive. It also imposes a duty to separate different categories of Hazardous Waste where technically feasible. Part 5 makes it an offence to remove hazardous waste from premises which have not been notified to the Environment Agency. Part 6 requires documents to be completed whenever hazardous is removed from premises. The various types of form are set out in Schedules 4 to 7. This is to ensure that an accurate description of consignments of waste accompanies them whenever they move. Part 7 requires producers, holders, carriers, consignors and consignees to keep records. Part 8 sets out the Environment Agency's functions. Part 9 imposes duties on holders of hazardous waste and the Environment Agency in the event of an emergency or grave danger which arises from hazardous waste. Part 10 makes it an offence for failure to comply with the requirements of these Regulations.
