Commentary on Sections Part 4 – Collection and Disposal of Waste Section 68 - Civil sanctions
267.Subsection (1) of section 68 provides that the regime of civil sanctions and controls under the Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act 2008 is available in relation to offences committed under sections 34D and 45AA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 inserted by sections 65 and 66. Those sanctions may be used as an alternative to prosecution for offences, if the regulator is satisfied that an offence has been committed.
268.Subsections (2) to (8) amend section 10 of the Waste (Wales) Measure 2010, to bring offences committed under the provisions of the new section 9A concerning incineration, under the civil sanctions regime that is already in place in the Measure.
