Establish Facilities and waste routes
|
Facilities need to be in place to manage waste in accordance with the Waste Hierarchy. In particular, areas for segregation and storage may be required. As opportunities to implement the waste management hierarchy arise they may utilise new waste routes. The site RSA authorisation will require modification to reflect such opportunities. Careful planning and discussion with the site regulatory bodies will be required. This should not however be considered a barrier to progress, and regulators will be supportive.
