The officially approved waste disposal methods referred to in Annex IV paragraph 1, shall conform to the following provisions such that any identifiable risk of spreading the organism is obviated:
potato waste (including rejected potatoes and peelings) and any other solid waste associated with the potatoes (including soil, stones and other debris) shall be disposed by either,
disposal at an officially approved dedicated waste disposal site at which there is no identifiable risk of escape of the organism into the environment e.g. through seepage to agricultural land. The waste shall be conveyed directly to the site under containment conditions such that there is no risk of loss of the waste,
or
incineration,
or
other measures, provided that it has been established that there is no identifiable risk of the organism spreading; such measures to be notified to the Commission and to the other Member States.
liquid waste: prior to disposal, liquid waste containing suspended solids shall be subjected to filtration or settlement processes to remove such solids. These solids shall be disposed of as set out in subparagraph (i).
The liquid waste shall then be either:
heated to a minimum of 60 °C throughout the entire volume during at least 30 minutes prior to disposal,
or
otherwise disposed of subject to official approval and under official control such that there is no identifiable risk that the waste could come into contact with agricultural land. The details thereof shall be notified to the other Member States and to the Commission.
The options described in this Annex also apply to the waste associated with handling, disposal and processing of contaminated lots.
