Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018: Proposed changes to the Charging Scheme

We will delete charging activities from the charging scheme when:

• The Regulations no longer cover them.
• They have moved to an authorisation level that we no longer charge for, e.g. General Binding Rules (GBRs).
• There is a change in how the activity is regulated and charged, which means the current charging activity is obsolete.

The charging activities that we are deleting from the charging scheme are:

• PPC B which is a micro activity. (Reference 10002).
• Waste management activity which is micro activity. (Reference 10005).
• PPC A: 5.2(b) (3) - Landfill of non-hazardous waste: pet cemeteries permitted to receive 100 tonnes or less of waste in any 12-month period. (Reference 12200).
• WMA: Incineration (including Pet Crematoria). (Reference 12300).
• PPC B: 5.1(b) - Incineration of animal carcasses. (Reference 12320).
• WMA: Schedule 1 exempt activity which is a micro activity. (Reference 12360).
• WMA: Storage of waste following a community clear-up. (Reference 12700).
• WMA: Paragraph 9 activity application of waste for the reclamation or improvement of land that does not exceed 1,500 tonnes in total. (Reference 12800) 
• WMA: Broking and dealing of waste (already registered as a carrier). (Reference 12820).
• WMA: Paragraph 46 activity burning wood or plant tissue at a dock. (Reference 12120).
