Environment Agency regulatory position on storing and drying waste wood before burning in a Part B co-incinerator.

Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to comply with an environmental permit or waste exemption when you store and dry waste wood before you burn it in a co-incinerator which is regulated by the local authority under a Part B permit.  

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.  

The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
