Current
generation of mixing pit are to cease operating by the 30th
June 2008 and any further treatement of waste will have to
follow IPPC SGN S5.06 Sector Guidance
Environment Agency Position
We expect to see greater segregation and purposeful treatment
of hazardous waste at source to minimise its impacts. We expect
treatment plant operators to understand the inputs to their
processes, the likely impact of that process on the inputs,
and to exercise appropriate control over the output such that
hazardous and non-hazardous wastes are appropriately disposed
of. Landfill operators need to be equally vigilant about the
waste that they are asked to accept.
Producers
or managers of hazardous waste that suspect others are incorrectly
classifying or managing hazardous waste should notify us.
We expect to see increasing dialogue between waste producers,
the treatment industry and the landfill sector to ensure effective
solutions to the safe management of hazardous waste .
