Activities covered include waste disposal, treatment, transfer and storage sites subject to waste management licensing and waste treatment facilities regulated under the PPC Regulations.

The Department of the Environment is proposing amendments to be made to the Northern Ireland Environment Agency Financial Provision Policy titled “Financial Provision for Waste Management Activities in Northern Ireland.”
