ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION REGULATIONS 1987 - REG 5E

5E .         Determination of amount under Part 3 of Schedule 4

        (1)         Subject to this regulation, the amount under regulation 5D(1a)(c) for a financial year for a particular kind of waste is to be worked out under Part 3 of Schedule 4 on the basis of the rate at which the waste is permitted to be discharged from the premises during the licence period — the rate (in the units specified for that kind of waste in Part 3 of Schedule 4) being the quantity of waste permitted to be discharged from the premises during the licence period averaged over the licence period.

        (2)         If, in respect of an application for a licence, the Chief Executive Officer is satisfied that the quantity of a particular kind of waste discharged from the premises in the year immediately preceding the licence period has been accurately measured, the rate in subregulation (1) in respect of such waste may, at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, be determined on the basis of the quantity so measured averaged over a period of one year.

        (3)         If, in respect of an application for a licence, the Chief Executive Officer is satisfied that — 

            (a)         the applicant has put in place appropriate procedures for the accurate measurement of the quantity of a particular kind of waste to be discharged from the premises; and

            (b)         the quantity of such waste to be discharged from the premises during the licence period has been accurately calculated,

                the rate in subregulation (1) in respect of such waste may, at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, be determined on the basis of that quantity averaged over the licence period.

        (4)         If an approved policy specifies standards for the discharge of a particular kind of waste and those standards apply to premises which are the subject of an application for a licence, the amount for the financial year in respect of such waste, as determined under subregulation (1), (2) or (3), is increased by 50% for those premises.
