The Landfill Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003
These Regulations set out a pollution control regime for landfills for the purpose of implementing Council Directive 99/31/EC on the landfill of waste (“the Landfill Directive”) in Northern Ireland. Landfills have recently been made subject to either the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (the 2003 Regulations) which implemented Council Directive 96/61/EC concerning Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (“the IPPC Directive”) and the Waste Management Licensing Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003.
