  1. We have added the following text: a) This regulatory position statement only applies to storing and treating asphalt at the same site where it is to be cold mix coated, and where the treatment consists of crushing, grinding, screening, grading or mixing. b) This RPS does not apply to any other activity, even if it is under the same legislation. You may still need other permits or licences for other activities you carry out. c) You must keep records for 2 years that show you have complied with this RPS. You must make these records available to the Environment Agency on request.

  2. We have made minor changes for clarity. We have also included the definition of a sealed drainage system.
