Introduced under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and enforced by the Environment Agency, the main objective is to ensure activities authorised for the treatment, keeping or disposal of controlled waste are carried out in a way which protects the environment and human health. Limited arrangements are possible for the exemption from permitting, but operating without a permit or outside of the rules of the permit can lead to significant sanctions and prosecution by the Environment Agency
