A number of amendments are proposed which are of a technical nature. In particular, there is a provision in section 25 to empower the EPA to determine that where a waste activity is carried on in a facility associated with an IPPC licensable activity, a licence under either the 1992 or 1996 Acts, but not both, shall be required. A further provision in section 26 introduces amended requirements regarding the extent to which the EPA shall have regard to environmental impact statements.
