Waste Exemption Paragraph 10b

Under the Waste and Contaminated Land (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 and the Waste Management Licensing Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003, all activities involving the treatment, keeping or disposal of waste must be authorised by NIEA.

If you want to operate under the terms of these exemptions you must register with NIEA. Paragraph 10 of the Regulations allows the storage and spreading of sewage sludge on land which is not land used for agriculture within the meaning of the Sludge (Use in Agriculture) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1990 if the spreading results in ecological improvement or, in the case of spreading on land used for non-food crops not grown in short rotation with food crops, it results in benefit to agriculture.
