(Waste Ordinance, ADWO)

¹ Pro­pri­et­ors of waste dis­pos­al fa­cil­it­ies must:

a.³⁰

op­er­ate the fa­cil­it­ies so that no harm­ful ef­fects or nuis­ances are oc­ca­sioned to the en­vir­on­ment if pos­sible;

b.

check the waste on re­ceipt and en­sure that only ac­cept­able waste is dis­posed of in the fa­cil­it­ies;

c.

dis­pose of residues form­ing in the fa­cil­it­ies in an en­vir­on­ment­ally com­pat­ible man­ner;

d.

en­sure that the en­ergy con­tent of the waste is ex­ploited as far as pos­sible in its dis­pos­al;

e.³¹

keep a re­cord of the ac­cep­ted quant­it­ies of the cat­egor­ies of waste men­tioned in An­nex 1 with de­tails of their ori­gin and of the residues and emis­sions arising in the fa­cil­it­ies, and sub­mit that re­cord to the au­thor­ity each year; the fore­go­ing does not ap­ply to tem­por­ary stor­age sites in ac­cord­ance with Art­icles 29 and 30;

f.

en­sure that they them­selves and their staff have the re­quired spe­cial­ist know­ledge to op­er­ate the fa­cil­it­ies prop­erly and provide the au­thor­ity on its re­quest with the rel­ev­ant proof of ba­sic and con­tinu­ing edu­ca­tion and train­ing;

g.

check and main­tain the fa­cil­it­ies reg­u­larly and in par­tic­u­lar veri­fy by meas­ur­ing emis­sions wheth­er the re­quire­ments of en­vir­on­ment­al and wa­ters pro­tec­tion le­gis­la­tion are be­ing met;

h.

in the case of mo­bile fa­cil­it­ies, en­sure that waste pro­duced at the op­er­a­tion site con­cerned is treated.

² Pro­pri­et­ors of waste dis­pos­al fa­cil­it­ies that dis­pose of more than 100 t waste each year must draw up op­er­at­ing reg­u­la­tions that in par­tic­u­lar spe­cify the re­quire­ments for the op­er­a­tion of the fa­cil­it­ies. They shall sub­mit the reg­u­la­tions to the au­thor­ity for feed­back.
