| Consultation: Use of Sewage Sludge in Forestry
and in the restoration of Derelict Land
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency is consulting on its
proposals for how it will regulate the use of sewage sludge on
non-agricultural land. Your response to this consultation will be
used to produce the final version of a SEPA document which will be
aimed at providing guidance to those involved with the planning,
carrying out and regulating of sewage sludge use.
The document translates the recommendations contained in SNIFFER
UKLQ09 paper Human Health and Environmental Impacts of Using Sewage
Sludge on Forestry and for Restoration of Derelict Land into SEPA
guidance. The procedure will, in most cases, be sufficient to
ensure that paragraph 8 and 9 Exemptions comply with the specific
Exemption requirements and the overarching Relevant Objectives of
the Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994. It establishes a
clear and transparent methodology for waste exemption assessment to
ensure a consistent approach which protects the environment.
