Local authorities regulate the storage of waste in sewage sludge facilities from waste water treatment plants and septic tanks.
Laois County Council regulates the storage of treated sewage sludge in permitted facilities in it's functional area, originating from wastewater treatment plants. Each facility must apply for a Certificate of registration from Laois County Council, as specified in the Waste Management (Registration of Sewage Sludge Facility) Regulations 2010 (S.I. No. 32/2010).
Each facility is monitored and inspected at random times throughout the year by staff of the Environment Section.
If you have any queries in relation to sewage sludge facilities regulations enforcement, please contact the environment section on 057 8674000 or by email environadmin@laoiscoco.ie
