further understand this exemption:
Q. How long will the registration last? Will it require
renewal at any time?
A. The registration of this exemption is not time limited
but it can be de-registered by SEPA if it is not managed properly
and no longer fulfills the criteria requirements of the exemption
or if the activities cause pollution or harm to health. If the
activity does comply with the exemption criteria the registration
will not have to be renewed except where there is a significant
change to the activity.
