Regulation 6 Exemptions granted by the Agency
The Agency may exempt from the requirement for a permit, in any specific case or class of case, a discharge or activity that would result in—
an input of a pollutant into groundwater of a quantity and concentration so small as to obviate any present or future danger of deterioration in the quality of the receiving groundwater;
an input of a pollutant into groundwater that, for technical reasons, is incapable of being prevented or limited without using—
measures that would increase risks to human health or to the quality of the environment as a whole; or
disproportionately costly measures to remove quantities of pollutants from, or otherwise control their percolation in, contaminated ground or subsoil.
The Agency must keep a record of all exemptions granted under this regulation.
