Description
Environmental regulation within the UK and throughout the EC is becoming increasingly strict. The Environmental Protection Act 1990 helped to introduce a new regime regarding the management and disposal of waste. The impact of the new statute will be felt by everyone in the waste industry. The financial implications of the new legislation and the penalties faced by companies who do not adhere to the law are severe. "Waste Management Handbook" provides a guide to the legislation surrounding the disposal of waste, covering all the main environmental legislation relating to production/disposal control as it affects areas such as water abstraction, water pollution, gas, landfill, incineration, special wastes, health and safety at work and land contamination.
