(2) A waste management licence or disposal licence which authorises the keeping of waste oil must include conditions which ensure that it is not mixed with special waste or PCBs or PCTs.
(3) A waste management licence or disposal licence which is granted or varied by the waste regulation authority and which authorises the treatment of waste oil must include conditions which ensure that, so far as technically feasible and economically viable—
(a) waste oils having different characteristics are not mixed; and
(b) waste oils are not mixed with other kinds of waste or substances, if such mixing would impede their treatment.
