£300 FIXED PENALTY NOTICES TO BE
IMPLIMENTED BY THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY

     
  From the 2nd April 2007 the Environment Agency will implement its powers to issue Fixed Penalty Notices for certain environmental offences under the Hazardous Waste regulations and enabled by the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environmental Act 2005.  
     
 
The fixed penalty notices will be used to tackle offences that are less serious to the environment and can be used as an alternative to prosecution. Offences which can attract a fixed penalty notice include:-

• IF YOU PRODUCE HAZARDOUS WASTE BUT ARE NOT REGISTERED.
• IF YOU ARE ASKED TO PRODUCE INFORMATION FOR THE E.A IN A TIME LIMIT BUT FAIL TO DO SO.
• IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLING WITH THE “DUTY OF CARE” REGULATIONS.
• IF YOU ATTEMPT TO CARRY WASTE BUT ARE NOT REGISTERED TO DO SO.
