Regulation 4 Entry of specified information into the digital waste tracking system by operator of a permitted facility
This regulation applies when the operator of a permitted facility receives controlled waste at a permitted facility.
This regulation does not apply if the permitted facility is a place provided under arrangements made by a waste disposal authority under section 51(1)(b)f1 of the 1990 Act and—
household waste is deposited by a person resident in the waste disposal authority’s areaf2, or
the permitted facility is available for the deposit of household or other controlled waste by other persons under section 51(3) of the 1990 Act.
The operator of a permitted facility must pay the digital waste tracking system fee under regulation 5.
The operator of a permitted facility must take the specified steps set out in paragraph (5) for each load of controlled waste received at the permitted facility by the deadline set out in paragraph (9).
The specified steps are to—
record in a digital waste record the information specified in Part 2 of Schedule 1 (“specified information”), and
check that the specified information in the digital waste record has been entered into the digital waste tracking system.
The requirement to check in paragraph 5(b) is satisfied if the operator receives the digital waste record number under regulation 3(4)(b).
The requirement to check in paragraph 5(b) is not satisfied if the operator has not received the digital waste record number due to a failure by the operator to—
pay the digital waste tracking system fee, or
having received a digital message indicating an error, investigate and correct any error with the digital waste record or any error or omission in the specified information recorded in that digital waste record.
In paragraph (4)—
where the controlled waste consists of hazardous controlled waste accompanied by more than one consignment note completed under regulation 36 (standard procedure) of the 2005 Regulations, the hazardous controlled waste to which each consignment note relates is to be treated as one load;
where the controlled waste consists of hazardous controlled waste delivered to the permitted facility by pipeline under a consignment note completed under regulation 41 (removal of wastes by pipeline) of the 2005 Regulations, the hazardous controlled waste to which each consignment note relates is to be treated as one load.
The operator of a permitted facility must take all reasonable steps to ensure completion of the specified steps by the end of the second working day after the day on which the load of controlled waste or hazardous controlled waste is received by the operator.
But where the load of hazardous controlled waste is delivered by pipeline, the day of receipt is—
if the load is piped over the course of more than one day, the day on which the last of the piped load is received;
if the load is piped continuously—
the day recorded in the consignment note relating to that load as the end of the quarter, or
where the piping stops before the day recorded in the consignment note relating to that load as the end of the quarter, the day on which the piping stops.
