Footnotes

f1

Waste from a mine or quarry ceases to be excluded from the definition of controlled waste on the same date; however, since the narrower class of waste resulting from prospecting, extraction, treatment and storage of mineral resources and the working of quarries is excluded from the Waste Directive under Article 2(1)(b)(ii) when covered by other legislation, since [planning legislation] applies, that class will neither be covered by these Regulations nor as controlled waste (regulation 7A of S.I. 1992/588)
