Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

These Regulations amend the regulatory regime governing landfills in Northern Ireland for the purpose of implementing Council Decision 2003/33/EC establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills pursuant to Article 16, of and Annex II, to Directive 1999/31/EC on the landfill of waste (“the Landfill Directive”).

The Decision supplements the requirements of the Directive by specifying detailed criteria and procedures for acceptance of waste for each class of landfill. These Regulations replace the existing waste acceptance criteria and waste acceptance procedures in the Landfill Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (“the Landfill Regulations”) with those contained in the Decision with effect from 16th July 2005.

Regulations 5, 6 and the Schedule put in place the new waste acceptance criteria and procedures by amending relevant regulations of the Landfill Regulations and substituting a new Schedule 1.

Regulations 7, 8 and 9, which come into operation on the 16th July 2004, make some minor amendments to Schedule 3 (Minimum monitoring procedures for landfills), Schedule 4 (Transitional Provisions) and to Schedule 5 (Amendments to other Subordinate Legislation).

The volume entitled “Indexes to the United Kingdom Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities 2003”, referred to in the definition of “SIC Code”, is available from the Stationery Office Limited at 16 Arthur Street, Belfast, BT1 4GD or by telephone on 028 90 238 451.
