The Waste (Materials Facilities) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025
These Regulations amend the Waste Management Licensing Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (“the 2003 Regulations”) and the Pollution Prevention and Control (Industrial Emissions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013 (“the 2013 Regulations”). The amendments require the Department to ensure that appropriate conditions are included in waste management licences and PPC (IE) permits which authorise materials facilities so that the new Code of Practice on Sampling and Reporting at Materials Facilities issued by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs on 31st January 2025 (the “Materials Facilities Code”) is complied with. The Regulations insert new definitions of various terms relating to the materials facilities into the 2003 Regulations and the 2013 Regulations.
