Article 2 of this Order commences on the day after the Order is made paragraph 162 of Schedule 22 to the Environment Act 1995 (“the 1995 Act”), to the extent that the provisions commenced by that paragraph (amendments of the Water Resources Act 1991 (c. 57) relating to anti-pollution works and operations) confer power to make regulations.
Article 3 of the Order commences substantively on 1st April 1999 paragraphs 67 and 69 to 72 of Schedule 22 to the 1995 Act which amend and supplement Part II (waste management licensing) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (c. 43). The provisions commenced relate to–
