Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The provisions of Chapter I of Part III of the Water Act 1989 (which relate to the pollution of water) do not apply in relation to radioactive waste within the meaning of the Radioactive Substances Act 1960; but the Secretary of State may by regulations provide for any of those provisions to apply and may make consequential modifications of the 1960 Act.
These Regulations bring radioactive waste within the scope of those provisions of Chapter I of Part III of the 1989 Act which are specified in the Schedule to the Regulations, but in such a manner that no account will be taken of the radioactive properties of such waste, which will remain subject to control under the 1960 Act.
Regulation 4 inserts a new paragraph 8G in Part I of Schedule 1 to the 1960 Act, comprising references to the provisions applied by these Regulations. That Part already includes (by virtue of paragraph 27(4) of Schedule 25 to the 1989 Act) references to section 111 of, and paragraph 57(2)(b) of Schedule 26 to, the 1989 Act.
