Waste Facility Permit Regulator Training

What is the Waste Facility Permit Regulator Training?

This one day course is designed to explain in detail everything about waste facility permit authorisation for regulators who work in local authorities. All waste activities require either a waste licence, facility permit or a certificate of registration. This course is designed to explain the basis of waste permit and certificate of registration application processing for local authority staff. We have run a one day course for permit holders for many years and this course has been developed in response to regulators request for specific training on this subject to help those processing applications. The course reviews the legal basis of the regulations, processing applications and reviews, conditioning activities, including an up to date overview of the current templates for each type of activity. During the section of the course that focuses on applications we also look at environmental impact assessment, planning and appropriate assessment.
