Abstract

These Regulations amend section 75 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 by adding further conditions to the exemption from marine licensing for dredging and waste deposit activities carried out by, or on behalf of, harbour authorities. The conditions apply to activities involving the relocation of sediments inside surface waters, where this is done for specified purposes and where it can be proved to the appropriate licensing authority that the sediments are not hazardous waste. They are consistent with the limits of the exclusion from Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste.
