Details
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have and comply with an environmental permit for a waste operation or an S2 exemption when you store cans of waste paint.
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.
