Abstract

These Regulations amend regulation 20 of, and insert regulation 20A into, the Special Waste Regulations 1996. Those provisions relate to the qualifications and experience required in order for a person to be treated as technically competent within the meaning of section 74 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The amendments allow those whose qualifications as to technical competence are based on their experience under regulation 5(2) of the Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994 to continue to deal with waste newly defined as special regardless of that new definition. It removes, for those persons only, the requirement to make an application for a certificate of technical competence.
