Climate Change and the Environment A New Reality Soil and stone as a by-product (…and a note on end-of-waste) Brian Meaney Senior Inspector Environmental Protection Agency 25 April 2018

Legislation Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EU Article 5 By products Article 6 End of waste European Communities (Waste Directive) Regulations 2011 Article 27 By-products Article 28 End of waste

Concepts: by-product and end-of-waste? Marketing and use Waste recovery or recycling process Waste regulation Product Marketing and use By-product Production process End-of-waste Waste A substance or object can be a by-product (and not a waste). T&C apply. Waste shall cease to be waste when it has undergone recovery/recycling and meets certain conditions.

Soil and stone notified as by-product

Benefits of a by-product classification Destination site No Waste authorisation: licence permit certificate of registration Excavation site Waste collection permit Yes Yes Waste Destination site

By-product soil and stone: The process The producer notifies this decision to the EPA using the article 27 on-line form EPA puts the notification on a register @epa.ie An economic operator decides that their material is a by-product For soil and stone notifications, EPA cautions against doing this The EO is entitled to implement their decision immediately Accept: Carry on Reject: The soil and stone is a waste (What if it’s already been deposited?) EPA scrutinises the EO’s decision

By-product soil and stone: The process The producer notifies this decision to the EPA using the article 27 on-line form EPA puts the notification on a register @epa.ie An economic operator decides that their material is a by-product For soil and stone notifications, EPA cautions against doing this The EO is entitled to implement their decision immediately Accept: Carry on Reject: The soil and stone is a waste (What if it’s already been deposited?) EPA scrutinises the EO’s decision

By-product soil and stone: The need for clarity Guidance published November 2017 To compliment and update the 2013 guidance www.epa.ie The principles Evidence needed

Notifications for soil and stone – no. made and tonnage

A note on end-of-waste: What we’re working on Recycled aggregates and road planings we await environmental risk assessments Recycled LDPE Comparing notes with other member states a lot of uncertainty there Future: Possibles: Ash Recycled tyres ECHA, USEPA, Repak ELT Other plastic Fluorescent lamps Syngas Spare parts from ELVs Chemical waste Soil and stone

To summarise Unsubstantiated assertions Evidence A by-product is not a waste Soil and stone can be a by-product of an excavation process but subject to environmentally protective criteria A waste can cease being a waste subject to environmentally protective end-of-waste criteria Take away: Waste status should remain if regulatory controls under waste legislation are needed to protect the environment and human health. Deciding if controls are needed can be difficult and can only be based on evidence Evidence Unsubstantiated assertions
