(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Control of Pollution (Licensing of Waste Disposal) (Scotland) Regulations 1977 which provide for a number of matters concerning the licensing of sites for the disposal of controlled waste under Part I of the Control of Pollution Act 1974.

They clarify the descriptions of waste prescribed in regulation 3(c) of the 1977 Regulations to be treated as industrial waste for the purposes of specified provisions of the 1974 Act. They also add to regulation 4(1) a further two prescribed types of controlled waste which, subject to certain conditions, are excepted from the requirement that the occupier of the site on which disposal operations are carried out should be the holder of a licence from the disposal authority.
