# The Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018, Paragraph 11: Authorisations: residues


SEPA must ensure that an authorisation for the incineration or co-incineration of waste at a waste incineration plant or co-incineration plant includes such conditions as it considers appropriate to ensure that—
(a) residues are minimised in their amount and harmfulness,
(b) residues are recycled, where appropriate, directly in the plant or outside,
(c) transport and intermediate storage of dry residues in the form of dust takes place in such a way as to prevent dispersal of those residues in the environment,
(d) appropriate tests, which must concern the total soluble fraction and heavy metals soluble fraction of any residues, are carried out to establish the physical and chemical characteristics and the polluting potential of residues prior to determining routes for the recycling or disposal of residues.
